Today’s episode is inspired by a night out under the stars at Brisbane’s Riverstage, where I saw Train live (highly recommend, by the way!). It got me thinking — not just about great music, but about mashups. Remixes. Genre-bending. And how we can apply that same creativity to our work.

From acoustic sets to DJ teases, to a live mashup of KT Tunstall and Razorlight (unexpected and excellent), this whole experience reminded me of something I love: contrast. And how powerful it is to combine unexpected things to create something fresh.

In this episode, I riff on:

• 🎶 Why mashups make us pay attention
• 🧠 The connection between music genres and your business rhythm
• 💡 How you can remix your own workday, methodology, or strategy session
• 🕺 Why I think I’m currently operating in “funk mode” (not that kind of funk)
• 📸 A little crowd-surfing, phone-snapping, ice-breaking concert magic from Train’s Pat Monahan

Prompt for you:

What genre are you playing in your business right now?

And what unexpected element could you mash in to make it more original, engaging — or just more you?

Let me know what you’re remixing — I’d love to hear from you.

Thanks again for tuning in. 🎧
