  • 1hr show of ads with occasional content

    Interesting topics discussed and full of self-reflection, which I find interesting to listen to but there are far too many ads!

    The last episode had 5 ads back to back, are the production costs seriously so high that you need that many sponsors?!

  • Life changing for some

    I get that every resource doesn’t have the same impact on every single person, we all have different triggers and need to hear different things at different stages of life. From my own experience what I can say is that things that were good for me 6 months ago may not have evolved enough to satisfy my needs now, and that’s natural. However one constants over the past number of years for me has been High Performance. In particular over the last 2 and a half years. It’s helped me address my weakne... more

  • Like listening to a job interview in 2005

    I feel like the format is in place so they never have a put any real effort in. The non negotiables question is just awful. It’s so tired now. There’s a scene in the office where Brent starts avoiding a question by talking what they describe as office speak and it’s pointed out he always says he doesn’t like office speak. Well no one does and that’s 25 years old now, this so many great podcasts out there going deep in a genuine and meaningful way, how can anyone listen to this linked in bag of c... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Build a £100m Business | Jordan Schwarzenberger
Q: What can kill us? Is the answer for that question when it comes to the creator economy, this idea that it's all on one person or other risks that you see on the horizon?
He identifies transactional influencer marketing as a vulnerable model because follower counts no longer reliably predict reach, branded content can struggle in algorithms, and brands may instead build their own content. He sees consistent YouTube publishing and businesses built around original intellectual property as more sustainable.
How to Build a £100m Business | Jordan Schwarzenberger
Q: Do you think that is something that's going to work? Because it's the personal connection, as you've spoken about, that people love. Does it still work if you're on an Amazon or on a Netflix or on a Channel 4 or BBC?
Schwarzenberger says it depends on the platform and the format. Social platforms such as YouTube sustain direct creator relationships, while streaming services need shows and intellectual property that can stand on their own rather than simply renting a creator's audience.
Lewis Moody: Preparing His Family for The End & Choosing To Live (E446)
Q: What have you cut out from your life? Or what are the things that you no longer entertain that you might have entertained before?
Moody says he is more selective about how he spends his time, prioritizing loved ones and becoming comfortable saying no to unnecessary commitments.
Lewis Moody: Preparing His Family for The End & Choosing To Live (E446)
Q: How do you, how have you learned to deliver that bad news as well as you possibly can?
Moody says he chose to tell his sons promptly and simply once the diagnosis was confirmed. He found that sharing information helped them understand what was happening and cope with the uncertainty.
Richard Hammond: Life After Top Gear & Turning Down the BBC (E444)
Q: What have you done to address the pressures that drove you toward success and find happiness?
He points to maturity, therapy, engagement with ordinary life and social connection, describing friendship, cooking and casual conversations in his new town as sources of contentment.
