Does the mere thought of the word “Brexit” cause you to puff out your cheeks with despair, or even roll your eyes with fatigue? If so, the new episode of the BALANCE podcast is for you.

That’s because we sat down with political adviser turned comedian Matt Forde in a bid for us all to find hope amidst the gloom of the B-word.

Matt proves inspiring, interesting and downright educational company as he explains how and why we can take positives from what feels like a potentially bleak scenario. If you want even more Matt in your life (and who doesn’t?), you can see the star of Unspun and Comedians Watching Football With Friends live at The Bloomsbury Theatre on 25 May.

To the uninitiated, in each episode, deputy editor James Gill (occasionally joined by founder/editor Sophie Scott) chats with luminaries from entertainment, wellness, sport, business and beyond about how to optimise health, happiness and performance.

And should you want to rate it five stars, please know we won’t be offended.
