About the show

Join hosts and tip curators Arielle Nissenblatt and Ned Donovan on their daily adventures to bring small, possibly insignificant tips and advice into the world. Topics range from tech, to podcasts, to cooking, to sports, to commuting, and anything and everything in between! No tip is too small, all are helpful to someone (we hope), it just might not be you that day. Episodes drop Monday-Friday and are all approximately two minutes or less. So add this to your daily rotation, and you might just find a tip that may help you! Or it may not. It's all in the title! Self-improvement is tough, but we’ll make it easier by giving you quick, concrete things you can do to better your everyday. Or…you don’t have to do anything at all. And we love that for you. We’re also open to your suggestions for tips to talk about on the show. Get in touch with us on any of the social platforms at @DailyTipsPod with some ideas.
