Today I took a scroll down memory lane… via my Notes app.

Looking for inspiration for today’s episode, I wasn’t vibing with anything recent, so I went way back—to my first note ever, from 2013 (hint: it was bad stock advice 🫣).

Then I landed on a list I wrote in 2016 called ā€œWhere I Work Best.ā€ And you know what? Despite almost a decade passing, not much has shifted.

This episode is part nostalgic trip, part career reflection, and part invitation for you to do the same. I share:

• The surprising constants in what I value in a workplace
• A mini rant on why most "teams" aren't actually teams
• A story about almost jumping ship to Flight Centre
• Why I stayed in mining, and what changed everything for me
• The moment Pivot by Jenny Blake cracked open a new mindset

And I leave you with a prompt:

šŸ“† Create your own Where I Work Best list.

šŸ—“ļø Schedule it as a calendar reminder in 12 months.

šŸ” Revisit. Reflect. Realign.

This one’s personal, lighthearted, and full of truth bombs. Thanks for listening — I’ll speak to you tomorrow.
