If you listen to Fixable, then maybe you've sometime wished someone would just help you figure out your life. John Paul Brammer’s job is to do exactly that – he’s the writer behind the hit advice column Hola Papi. Today, in an episode from another podcast in the TED Audio Collective, How to Be a Better Human, John talks about how he's helped all kinds of people on topics big and small. John reveals what constitutes good advice, why a lot of problems have similar solutions, and shares what we can do to get ourselves out of our trickiest situations.

How to Be A Better Human isn’t your average self improvement podcast. Each week join comedian Chris Duffy in conversation with guests and past TED speakers as they uncover sharp insights and give clear takeaways on new ways to improve ourselves -- and show up for one another.  Get more How to Be A Better Human wherever you get your podcasts.
