In this episode, we (Josh and Has) begin talk about the virtues of sparkling water in Josh's battle with carbonated drinks. Thankfully, we move on from that pretty quickly in the deeper topic around self value and not seeing what others see in us.

We explore why we find it more difficult to identify our value vs our ability to spot our flaws. From there, we move into the power of re-framing thoughts.

Has then asks Josh to think about our natural 'default' settings - possibly our truest authentic self, when that shows up and how to manage it.

From there we explore the concept of AND vs OR - the ability to hold two (maybe sometimes opposing) views concurrently.

We (Josh and Has) have an altogether different conversation this week.  We talk about mustard yellow being one of Has's favourite colours, storm Eunice, erratic swimming before we get into the meaty topic of rest and recuperation.

We discuss the value of rest on us as humans through exploring what Has learnt from his week of last week. This leads us to a conversation on gruelling work schedules and where responsibility lies for dealing with this - is it the individual or employer?

It's a rounded discussion with some personal tips on how to makes the most of a restful week and carry it on when you get back.

Reasons to be cheerful is an important one this week as Josh talks about his incredible work during COA week 2022.

Warning: this could be our punchiest episode yet.

We (Josh and Has) kick things off by talking about flow states - how to get things done in a world that's constantly moving at pace.

Josh talks about the incredible work he is doing in creating space for men to help them become open to being vulnerable and talking more. We discuss the importance of this on wider society, as well as for the individuals concerned.

We then wade into the Joe Rogan and the current conversation around Spotify. This was a very heated debated between us where we have very different opinions, but in the end, we found some common ground as we always do.

This is both our longest and punchiest episode to date - hope you enjoy!

We (Josh and Has) start the episode by reviewing the year so far into January before heading into the topic of focus, a subject we're both reading a book by Johan Hari about.

We talk about the newest dragon on Dragon's Den, Steven Bartlett and how he's making a splash and disrupting things.

Inevitably - we move into 'partygate' (how could we not??) and we talk about the drivers behind their behaviour. This leads to a really powerful discussion about the addictive nature of power.

We hope you enjoy it.

We're back with a bang with the first episode of 2022! We (Josh & Has) begin the conversation reflecting on the break and move into the topic of new year's resolutions. We discuss why so many people fail at keeping them and talk about the notion of intentions vs goals.

From there, we wade into the inevitable topic du jour, which is the government getting caught having parties during lockdown whilst imposing strict lockdown rules on the nation. I ask Josh whether it is necessary to investigate this now after almost 2 years - the answer in unsurprising.

Finally, we move into the topic of cancel culture (again...it's not going away sadly) with 22 year old, Molly-Mae Hague vilified for a comment she made on a recent podcast.

A lively conversation to kick off the 115miles 2022 tab!

Ok - we're not gonna lie, this one is short and sweet. Our tech realised it's the end of the year and thought "nah, I'm not having this.." and decided to fail on us.

Before that though, we (Josh and Has) go down am email etiquette wormhole before we thankfully save ourselves and get into an emotional check in with each other.

Finally, we just hit a hot topic on the current situation in the UK before our tech mishap.

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to re-record before the break, so rather than nothing, we wanted to give our listeners the taster and we'll come back in the new year with Part 2!

Happy Christmas to those that celebrate and happy holiday break to everyone! See you in 2022!

In this penultimate episode of the year, we (Josh and Has) kick off a very deep topic - what is the best Christmas chocolate of all? Strong opinions held strongly, that's for sure.

From there, we move into the topic of comfort zones, playing safe and learning to move past our blocks.

We then talk about showing up with authenticity, being courageous and not being afraid to express who you are in the world.

Lots of laughs, particularly at Has' idea of a first tattoo.

Enjoy!

This week, we (Josh and Has) jump straight into things by talking about the things that Has integrated into life since talking about his overwhelm in the last episode.

We then talk about some things going on in the world - such as the Brit awards changes and the furore over a celebrity's recent 'Squid Game' party.

Josh then leads us into a deep conversation as two fathers who grew up without fathers. A very personal and vulnerable space for us both that we explore not just for fathers, or even parents, but everyone who is interested in human dynamics and relationship behaviours.

We hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, we (Josh and Has) talk about overwhelm. We discuss how it can show up differently for different people - resilience goes into overdrive for Has, and for others it brings other things like wellbeing to the fore.

We talk about the role that both individuals and organisations have to play to deal with stress and burnout.

From there, we go deep into the topic of poverty and particularly around children, where in the UK today, 1 in 3 children grows up in poverty.

We talk about celebrity gurus and their often out of touch comments being communicated to hundreds of thousands (sometimes millions) of followers, and the impact this has on the most vulnerable parts of society.

We're unapologetically raising the debate around the privilege and oppressive structures  - please listen, but more importantly, take a call to action to do something about it if it moves you.

A slightly later episode this week as Josh did some much needed R&R with his family in Jamaica.

However, as soon as we get going, we (Josh & Has) pick up where we left off last time and talk divided opinions on our last episode around blackfishing and culture appropriation.

We talk about the book 'The Madness of Crowds' - an ideologically rightwing view on the power of crowd mentality, which leads to some quite heated debate at timed and divided opinions from us both.

From there, we move onto the topic free (or hate) speech on clothing and whether the police have a right to enforce policy in this area. 

This leads us back again to discuss how crowds move quickly to shape opinion and often cancelling of individuals.

It was a strong conversation between two best friends, that was topped off with a couple of lovely reasons to be cheerful!

Health warning - lots of swearing in this episode ;-)
