Today’s Weekend Rewind takes you straight into the latest Talk the Walk livestream I hosted with consulting legend, Alan Weiss. (https://alanweiss.com/) We riffed on pricing psychology, why people stay stuck undercharging, and how overdelivering isn’t noble—it’s often self-sabotage. Here’s what we covered: • Why your pricing probably reflects your self-esteem…

Hey, it’s Day 101 — we’ve officially stepped into the triple digits of the year, and I wanted to share a productivity principle that keeps smacking me in the face when I forget it: Parkinson’s Law. It says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion. Simple.…

Well, we made it. 100 days, 100 episodes. 265 to go! In today's special 100th episode, I flipped the mic on myself. I used an AI voice to ask me a bunch of reflective questions — and I answered them, off the cuff, just like I always do. We cover:…

In this quick ep, Ihares a sticky little metaphor sparked from a local café run and a slightly annoying car park moment. The lesson? Reverse parking isn’t just a driving tip – it’s a mindset. I explore how doing something mildly annoying now (like reversing into a tight car space)…

In today’s episode, we’re flipping the script on the idea of “finding” your uniqueness. Too many of us spend years searching for that special something that sets us apart, thinking it’s hidden somewhere out of reach. But what if I told you it’s already right in front of you—hiding in…

This morning, I was faced with a choice: participate in a 7AM webinar or attend a local Chamber of Commerce coffee event. Here’s what you’ll hear in this episode: • The 7AM Dilemma: Why I opted to ditch the webinar for a local coffee event and how it turned into…

🚗 The Porsche 911 is my favourite car of all time. It’s an icon. A masterpiece. The perfect blend of engineering and emotion. But here’s the wild part: it almost didn’t exist. In 1980, Porsche was struggling. For the first time in their history, they didn’t turn a profit. Sales…

In today’s episode, I’m taking you back to 2020—the year I signed up for a running challenge to clock 2020 kilometers. At first, it seemed simple: 5.5 km a day. No big deal. But within days, I realised the real challenge wasn’t the running itself—it was keeping up. If I…

Great to have you here! I’ve just come back from the physio, and yep, I’m talking about my Achilles again. It’s one of those injuries that’s frustrating but also teaching me a lot about life, patience, and the balancing act of recovery. My physio gave me some straight talk today.…

In this episode, I dive into a concept that’s been rattling around in my head—FOBO, the Fear of Becoming Obsolete. I was chatting with Ronsley Vars in an earlier episode about how ChatGPT told me my greatest fear was irrelevance. That got me thinking… FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is…

You know those books where every second page has you reaching for a highlighter? That’s exactly how I felt reading Not Everything Counts, But Everything Matters (https://www.amazon.com.au/Everything-Counts-Matters-inspirational-multi-premiership-ebook/dp/B0D79PQ59X) by Ivan Cleary. In today’s episode, I’m sharing some of the biggest takeaways from his book—insights on leadership, high performance, and why the…

Get Roasted by Leanne (only available til 12 March) (https://stan.store/leannehughes/p/roasted-by-leanne-) A few months ago, I posted in a private consultant’s forum, looking for small tweaks or ideas to improve something I was working on.
