What A Bit of Optimism is about

My career is an accident. It started when I set out to rediscover my passion and reignite a spark I’d lost, and that journey led me to the work I do now. If you know me from my books or my speaking, you know I’m fascinated by why people do what they do. What makes someone find joy and meaning in their life, or pursue something far greater than themselves?

In the show’s own words, from its public feed.
