Show Notes
Gareth Howells is the man behind the equally hilarious and nostalgic Instagram sensation, Hunsnet and author of The Hundamental Guide To Life: Learn to Live Love and Laugh Like a True Hun. If your first question is - what is a hun, Kris? You’ll find all the answers you need in this episode.
Gareth fills his days creating social media content, rubbing shoulders with celebs, curating live events, and trawling through the extensive archives of all the incredible and oh so memeable moments from pop culture history. But as you’ll find out, his journey to creating the life he’s always dreamed of was born out of the battles he faced on the way.
In this episode Gareth opens up to Kris about the importance of community, trusting yourself, his struggles with mental health and how looking back became the key to unlocking his future. His story is a wonderful example of how you can find your purpose, simply by doing the things you love.
As always with the topics in the podcast, some may find subjects triggering.
