🌴191 Why I might break up with my barista

The player is loading ...

This one’s a bit of a brain spill from my pre-Everest Base Camp trek prep — but there’s a sneaky behavioural insight tucked in there too.

I share:

Why I’m buying a neoprene cover for my hydration straw (spoiler: negative 20°C is not your friend).
How my long-standing relationship with mochas is going through a breakup… and how hard it is to change even tiny habits when people know you as someone else.
The surprising social pressure of baristas.
Jim Rohn’s five people quote, and why environment trumps willpower every time.
The case for switching cafes (or masterminds) to support a new version of yourself.

Sometimes it’s not about discipline — it’s about design.

Let’s talk identity, environment, and small-but-mighty change.
