• This week my book The 2-Hour Workshop Blueprint has been popping like Jenny Blake’s “serendipity popcorn” — in places and moments I didn’t plan

In this episode

• The word that flattens a room (and what to do instead)
• Why assets beat hustle: books, podcasts, recorded talks = omnipresence without burnout
• My live 45-minute design sprint with PMI QLD
• Five fast ways to regather a buzzing group without killing momentum
• My boldest test yet: a go/no-go experiment for Con Con 2026

My 2026 event gamble: Con Con (Consultants’ Convention)

• Where/When: Gold Coast, June 18–19, 2026
• Cap: 50 people
• First-mover window: Aug 28 — 12 hours only
• Rule: If 15 tickets sell in that window, Con Con is on. If not, instant refunds and we shelve it.
• Why so stark? Because it’s exactly how I coach clients: set constraints, define success before you sell, and test the market with a clean “yes/no.”
