This week, I'm joined by writer A. J. Daulerio. A. J. is the former editor of websites like Gawker and Deadspin and he founded and now runs The Small Bow, a newsletter and podcast about addiction and recovery. We're talking all about perfectionism, validation seeking, shame, self diminishment, f*cked up ego math surrounding success and trying (and failing) to find balance with our work.

You can find A.J. at thesmallbow.com

The Extended Scenes theme song is by the band Maiden Names.
