115 Miles

We (Josh & Has) begin this episode by learning more about Josh's steam room business meetings and how he introduces contraband into the game.

Has then asks Josh a series of questions in a segment he called 'Inside the Mind of Josh Connolly' where he discovered that Josh once gazed at Tom Hardy at Coral Reef swimming pool in Bracknell. There are plenty of other gems in this conversation.

Onto the real topics of the day, Has introduces a saying "Fail we may, Sail we must" made famous by the late DJ & music producer, Andrew Weatherall, who had it tattooed on his arms after a conversation with a young Irish fisherman. We talk about the need to sometimes have to push through fear, anxiety and worry because for many, there often is no choice.

We then talk about the Lionesses winning Euros and despite this fact, only receive £55,000 (compared to the men's team who received £300,000 for reaching the final) - we talk about the distance in pay parity still in existence.

We say this all the time, but it's really a banger of an episode! You have to listen!

Josh hits us up with some interesting fact based questions again - by the end of this podcast you will know what the Spice Girls were originally going to be called. (If that isn't high quality audio entertainment, we don't know what is!)

From this auspicious start, we move into our check in - reflecting on how we are and have been feeling over the past few weeks.

We talk about feedback - and how even the toughest of messages can lead to incredible life changes for people. Following this, we discuss the recent study that throws the potential impact of anti-depressants into doubt.

Another banger of an episode if we do say so ourselves ;-)

The first episode after Boris' resignation was always going to be dominated by our (Josh & Has) perspective on the matter. Rather than dwell on Bojo himself, we explore the unexpected scenario of there being more ethnic minority background candidates than white ones for the Conservative parter leader.

We explore whether this is progressive, or given the individuals involved, regressive for people of colour's perceptions of opportunities in public life.

We then move into the topic of feeling out of control and ways we can take it back when we feel overwhelmed.

And then onto the most important topic of the day - ice cream or ice lollies?

In this week's episode, Josh fires us up with 3 crazy facts about life...we hope you'll be as amazed as Has was about some of them.

From there, a check in leads us to having a conversation about Anxiety and how to acknowledge and deal with our feelings in the moment.

We go deep on Roe Vs Wade being overturned and explore our views and responsibilities as men here in the UK. 

We discuss a recent Daily Mail article ridiculing builders for being 'woke' because they discuss their feelings, do Yoga and and don't eat fry ups.

And finally, we talk about the importance of protests in keeping those in power from becoming autocrats and dictators.

A big conversation with lots of juiciness and you'll learn how to get to the moon too!

We (Josh and Has) get back in the studio together for a lovely conversation as the sun shines outside.

We begin by exploring how we are feeling in the moment - embodying what is present for us both through the power of realtime reflection. We then explore one of our favourite topics of systems and habits as a way as a mechanism to reframe and transition from work into home life.

From there, we talk about the impact of trial by social media on the Depp/Heard case and its implications for how we judge as a society.

Given the economic hardships many people are suffering, we wanted to dedicate some time to beginning a conversation about side hustles and the importance of first exploring purpose through the ancient Japanese philosophy 'Ikigai'.

Running in hot after some tech issues, this is another solid conversation between us.

We cover being out of the office properly, witty messages and virtue signalling, power structures and of course illicit Downing Street cheese and wine parties!

Enjoy!

We (Josh and Has) are back in the studio together for the latest episode of 115 Miles.

We discuss Josh's reflections after reaching 10 years of sobriety at the weekend, which leads us into a broader conversation around personal transformation journeys, mountains, and navigating obstacles.

From there we move into the topic of Priti Patel's new sweeping reforms of Stop & Search and the disproportionate targeting of on Black and Asian communities. This was a robust conversation that led us to the topic of censorship and Twitter's impending sale to Elon Musk.

A HUGE episode with lots of ground covered. Hope you enjoy!

We're back! After a little break from recording, we (Josh & Has) return with a conversation that begins with a check in and leads us to discuss systems and binge eating.

We talk about Mental Health Awareness Week and the job of companies before and after this week. 

We dive into the Depp/Heard trial (or rather how we've tried to avoid it) and then move into our very personal reasons be cheerful.

Even though we're over a week on, we (Josh & Has) had to talk about THE Will Smith slap. Beginning with an argument about whether it was a joke about alopecia or not, we moved into the psychology of the slap and what could lead a person to react in a moment. We try to reflect on how we might react or how we do sometimes behave when pushed to our limits.

From there, we move into a conversation about a very important date in May - May 14th to be precise - which marks 10 years of sobriety for Josh. We talk about his lessons learned over the decade and things he continues to work on everyday, before exploring his BHAG!

We have the same reason to be cheerful this week too - enjoy!

We (Josh and Has) begin with a weary eyed Has talking about his late evening dancing the night before, in which we also discovered that Josh is a faux hip hop fan too.

Moving onto more serious things, we talked about how Boris Johnson has seemingly escaped once again and explore whether this points to public apathy around his misdemeanours.

Josh then explores the impact of the invasion by Russia in Ukraine on Has and people around him, which leads to broad discussion around the role that the media plays in shaping society's views about different world events.

We have a quickfire chat about reading books one at a time, Kim Kardashian's recent comments and Steven Bartlett/Matt Hancock.

Lot's of ground covered - enjoy!
