Description

If you listen to this podcast it’s not a surprise that I love bizarre. What
better way to extend that lens then to look beyond people? So when author
Matt Simon was recommended by a listener as a guest for Grow Big Always, I
thought it was a great idea because he’s a science writer at Wired and
specializes on Zoology, specifically some crazy fucking creatures. 

It’s hard to describe his book, The Wasp That Brainwashed the Caterpillar,
because it’s a fusion of the insane things creatures do and also incredibly
funny. Where else can you glance at a title of a section that says,
“Adventures in having a six inch long clitoris.” Actually, don’t answer
that.

Meaningful growth is hard. In part, because most of us don’t have amazing people to learn from. Grow Big Always is a weekly discussion-oriented podcast where host Sam Lawrence gets to the bottom of the uncomfortable, private, often surprising journeys unusual people have taken to achieve big results. It teaches us exactly how they have created breakthrough businesses, unusual relationships or life-changing transitions. Grow Big Always is an intimate and often funny look at a wide range of people and the irregular way they created something legendary.
