Flirting, Life Principles & What Really Matters
In this episode of Ask Margot, Margot explores the forgotten art of flirting and why genuine connection is less about making yourself interesting and more about making someone else feel interesting. She looks at the principles we choose to live by, including the powerful belief that there is always a solution and always a next step. Margot also explains the idea of “glass balls and rubber balls” as a way of recognising what truly matters in life, and reflects on the lasting impression and energy we leave behind in every interaction. Margot is our go to for life problems. Listeners are encouraged to write in with a problem they are stuck on, and we will “Ask Margot” to provide sound, real and insightful advice.

From rent and home ownership to careers, social media, dating and the rise of AI, we compare what it meant to be young then versus now. Life in 2026 might be more convenient - but does that actually mean we’re living better?
