Ever had that feeling of being stuck, like you've been traveling down a path and exhaustively trying to make changes and feel like there's no options left? This can be a pretty intimidating feeling, and this week we discuss our own experiences with being stuck. As the fourth but final episode for 2013, we hope you find some gold in here that helps identify where 2014 might bring a freshened approach. Enjoy the holiday break - from Mick … [Read more...]
#3 Goals: Authentic vs Pleasing
In this episode, Dobbo talks about whether we're even asking ourselves if we REALLY want what we're aiming for in our goals, and how to tell if they are a product of pleasing someone else or someone else's image of us. We recall how our thoughts on goal setting have changed over time, and do a deep dive into some outcomes from goal setting workshops that Dobbo has been running lately. Sometimes it seems like our approach to goal setting could … [Read more...]

We cover a lot of territory as things get warmed up and our exploration of failure takes us through business, relationships, money and self-worth. Welcome to our project! … [Read more...]

Some people will wear it straight away, because they love you and value your opinion and work. It may fit perfectly and they’ll love it... As long as nothing changes (ie. their experience of life while wearing the shirt!!). Another kind of person will … [Read more...]
