21: Jo Caulfield & The Psychology Of Stand-Up

In this special episode, recorded at this year's Edinburgh Festival, we take a break from our usual question and answer format to talk to comedian Jo Caulfield about the psychological lessons that can be learned from stand-up comedy. Including the importance of keeping going when things get tough, the secret to being confident, and why you shouldn’t say yes to everything.
