Following the success of his sold-out North American live tour, British podcaster, writer, and host of Modern Wisdom – one of the world’s biggest podcasts – CHRIS WILLIAMSON delivers an evening of sharp insights, raw honesty, and unexpected lessons, challenging audiences to get curious, think deeper, and discover new perspectives. Through a dynamic mix of storytelling, sharp insights, and practical takeaways, Williamson explores the tension between what we think we know and what we’re still figuring out. From the traps of hustle culture to the truths uncovered in silence, Mostly Wise offers an evening of insights, face-palm clarity, and unexpected discoveries. Audiences can expect a show that is deeply reflective, gut-punchingly honest, and unapologetically points the finger at the lessons you need to hear but have been ignoring. Whether you’re a long-time listener or just stepping into the world of personal growth, this tour invites you to get curious, challenge your assumptions, and walk away with a fresh perspective. “After thousands of hours speaking with some of the world’s sharpest minds, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is that no one really has it all figured out, least of all me,” said Williamson. “Mostly Wise is about embracing that reality, exploring the questions that actually matter, and laughing at the ways we get it wrong. It’s not self-help, it’s self-honesty. I can’t wait to bring that to life with everyone across Australia, New Zealand, and Bali. This stuff absolutely rules. Hopefully, everyone leaves feeling called out, seen, reassured, and a bit more wise.” Joining in him will be fitness influencer and best-selling author JAMES SMITH. Sometimes described as the “Gordon Ramsay of the fitness world”, Smith is the author of three best selling books: Not A Diet Book, Not A Life Coach and How To Be Confident. Generating momentum online for his bold takes on the fitness industry, debunking preconceptions and myths that have been ingrained in what has become a multi-million dollar business, Smith has become a leading figure online; making him a natural kindred spirit for someone like Chris Williamson. Don’t miss the opportunity to see both James Smith and Chris Williamson - two identities at the top of their game - in the same room.
