In this episode we challenge James Belsey from the Bottomless Pit Podcast to persuade us that Luxembourg is worth visiting. It isn't a country we hear much about and we are from Europe!

We find out all the answers to our questions and play a game called 'The Bottomless Pit' where we all ha...

How far have you pushed yourself? Maybe it was at work, university, or perhaps it was a physical challenge like running a marathon. Whatever that challenge was, I'm sure at some point you were pushed to your limit where you wanted to cry or give up, but you persevered and grew as a person because of it. This is exactly the reason why we love talking about challenging ourselves, getting out of our...
