Ep #2 - What Do You Learn When You Lose Your Tribe? - Matthew Parris

Matthew Parris is a legendary broadcaster, author, journalist and quasi-national treasure. We wanted to speak to him because frankly, who wouldn't? It's Matthew bloody Parris.But, he's also a really important voice in some huge questions that are of vital importance. One in particular comes from his experience losing his tribe. Matthew was life-long Conservative, he began his career as an MP, and still has fond memories of Margaret Thatcher but left the Tory party over Brexit. We dived into what it was like to lose a tribe, what he realised about tribal thinking and why tribes are still important.We discussed false Messiahs, the dangers of spirituality, the mixed blessings of Christianity in Africa and much else besides. We know you'll love to spend time with him as much as we did.Find him:Twitter: @matthewparris3Matthew's books: Buy 'em here!Lifefulness Podcast Launch ContestAs you heard on the podcast we are running a competition for the until 29th September which you can apply to join at www.lifefulness.io/podcast.
