🌴 0. The start of something daunting

dimanche 8 décembre 2024 • Duration 07:30

In this first-ever episode, I’m walking along the Gold Coast, soaking in the waves and sunshine, and hitting record to share a raw, unfiltered idea that’s both thrilling and daunting: a daily podcast.

Here’s what’s in this episode:

The question that sparked this daily podcast journey: "What’s your thing for 2025?"
Why “Let’s take this outside” is more than a tagline—it’s a mindset.
The challenge of committing to podcasting five days a week (and resisting the urge to negotiate with myself).
How this podcast will be scrappy, unscripted, and free of overthinking (and editing).
Inspiration from Jenny Blake’s daily podcast streak and how simplicity makes it work.
My next steps: figuring out the tech (Hello Audio, I’m looking at you!) to make this as frictionless as possible.

This podcast is all about sharing what’s on my mind in real-time—raw thoughts, behind-the-scenes moments, and a peek into life and work outside the box. No fancy production, just genuine connection.

I’d love to hear what you think! Hit me up on social media or stay tuned for a contact link in future episodes.

Wish me luck as I dive into this new adventure—one episode at a time. Let’s see where this takes us!

P.S. If you’re thinking about starting something daunting, maybe this episode is the nudge you need!

🌴 9. Stop walking around the block to get next door feat. Steph Clarke

mercredi 8 janvier 2025 • Duration 09:07

Today, we unpack the curious habit we all share: creating our own overwhelm. From decision-making dramas to overcomplicating simple tasks, it’s something we’re all guilty of—yes, even you!

Through relatable stories (including a dog park chat, Seth Godin's "yak shaving" metaphor, and Steph Clarke’s reflections), we explor how we often overthink, layer unnecessary complexities, and, in doing so, stall our progress.

Som fun links:

Steph Clarke's work

Key takeaways for you to reflect on:

Start with the big question: Do you really want to do this? Yes or no. Everything else flows from that clarity.
Keep it simple: Instead of planning 10 steps ahead, ask, What’s the easiest way to take the next step?
Ask better questions: Tim Ferriss’ mantra—“What would this look like if it was easy?”—is a refreshing one (when you're knee-deep in yak shaving)!

🌴 8. The two-ticket connection strategy

mardi 7 janvier 2025 • Duration 06:02

Today, I want to share an insightful idea that stuck with me from a Christmas lunch in 2023, hosted by my friend Kate Peardon.

At this gathering, I chatted with Nicole Dyson, an inspiring figure in education and innovation.

She suggested a brilliant strategy for enhancing relationships: whenever you're interested in an event, just buy two tickets and decide who to invite later.

This proactive approach can really help in making those catch-ups happen, whether it's a concert, stand-up comedy, or a show. It even adds an element of spontaneity and adventure into your social life.

For 2025, consider adopting this strategy—buy two tickets in advance and figure out your guest afterwards.

And remember, it's perfectly fine to go solo sometimes too!

This tip from Nicole has been a game-changer for me, and I hope it brings more joy and connection into your life as well. Speak to you tomorrow!

🌴 7. No one cares: Walk + Talk with Julian Mather

lundi 6 janvier 2025 • Duration 10:50

I've just returned home from a splendid walk and talk with Julian Mather, and I wanted to share our conversation with you on the podcast.

You’ll get to hear about our reflections while walking over two beautiful bridges in Brisbane, and how a simple text from Julian reshaped my thoughts on effective communication.

You’ll also hear why not caring what others think can be liberating and why failing quickly and quietly can be an effective strategy. S

🌴 6. Your not-to-do-list

dimanche 5 janvier 2025 • Duration 11:12

In this episode, Leanne Hughes dives into the concept of a 'not-to-do list,' an activity inspired by Tim Ferris that helps outline tasks and commitments you want to avoid in the future.

Leanne walks you through setting up this list using your calendar, noting which activities sparked joy and which ones didn't.

She shares personal reflections about how her list evolved over the years and how blocking time around major commitments has enhanced her productivity and work-life balance.

Key takeaways include the importance of intentional planning, setting recovery periods, and the benefits of recurring 'deep work' periods.

Leanne encourages you to evaluate your past year's engagements and make deliberate choices that align with your goals for the upcoming year, stressing the value of this exercise in providing clarity and focus.

🌴 5. Becoming Indistractable with Nir Eyal (Weekend Rewind)

samedi 4 janvier 2025 • Duration 49:03

Leanne Hughes welcomes Nir Eyal, author of 'Indistractible,' to discuss his journey and the importance of mastering focus in our distraction-filled world. Nir shares his career trajectory, from founding tech companies to exploring behavioural design, leading to his seminal work on building healthy habits with 'Hooked.'

Nir emphasises that all human behaviour aims to alleviate discomfort, whether stemming from internal or external triggers. He introduces 'timeboxing' as a strategy to align our schedule with our values and make purposeful use of our time. He also discusses workplace culture, the importance of planning personal activities, and the concept of 'traction' versus 'distraction.'

Key takeaways for listeners include understanding the roots of distraction, employing tactics like a distraction tracker, and fostering personal integrity by committing to one's schedule.

Nir’s approach encourages you to take control of your time and focus with intent, enabling you to lead a more fulfilled and productive life.
