Real Conversations
About the People Who Shape Our Lives
Hosted by Julia Duthie, People Are Everything invites guests to share the five most influential people in their lives — and the stories, lessons and relationships that made them who they are.
With candid conversations about relationships, trauma, success, failure, life changes, and everything in between, People Are Everything offers listeners an inspiring and relatable exploration of the human experience.
Julia’s signature question is at the heart of each episode: “Who are the five people who have shaped the person you are today?” The answers reveal intimate and thought-provoking insights into the relationships, experiences, and moments that define us.
Whether you’re seeking wisdom, motivation, or a sense of connection, this podcast will leave you reflecting on the people and moments that have shaped your story and wondering who your five would be!
