What Makes a Good Day?
What Makes a Good Day is a podcast for anyone who creates hosted by design professor Eric Benson (of the award-winning Climify podcast). Each episode tackles the ancient question that feels urgently contemporary: what constitutes a life worth living?
What Makes a Good Day skips the productivity hacks and morning routine worship. Instead, I ask: are you living by your own values, or reacting to everyone else’s expectations? Through conversations with creative practitioners who’ve figured a few things out, alongside insights from Stoic philosophy and contemporary psychology, we explore how small, intentional choices compound into lives that feel genuinely meaningful and joyous.
What Makes a Good Day is your weekly reset—a space to step back from the chaos and honestly assess how to make each day live up to the life you want to live.
Join me. Let’s figure out what we’re actually doing here.
New episodes weekly. Brought to you by Re-nourish.org—because sometimes the most nourishing thing you can do is ask better questions.
