I have to say that I've been chasing my tail a bit and running around like a headless chicken since the start of the month.

And all because of my ambition, which makes it challenging for me to prioritise all the things that I **want** to work on. Plus - I really don't always have a great relationship with speed either, which tends to make my experience in any given situation tougher than it needs to be at times.

Ambition is hard work.

I want to run 2000km in 2016 and after a 3-week break due to illness, I'm behind schedule. So it's going to be tough to reach that milestone. That said, I'm not even sure why 2000km is even that important. Is it more important than 1900km? Or 1850km?

We don't know what's happening behind the scenes of others' lives and businesses. Yet we always compare ourselves to our perception of others' journeys.

In this episode, I explore the age-old question: What's the meaning of life?

I had an uncomfortable realisation earlier. The only minority that I've ever been part of, has been one of privilege.

Earlier this week, we rebranded and relaunched Receiptful as Conversio. This was ultimately a project that represented our own evolution and what we had learnt about ourselves in the last 2 years since we first launched.

This episode is all about the gap between our expectations and reality, and how this gap tends to be very hard to navigate.

The last couple of months has seen me making many changes to my life, but probably the one that is most visible or recognisable - and also occurs daily - is how my mornings are now so much slower.

Based on Ryan Holiday's book "The Obstacle is the Way", I share some of my own learnings and applications to help overcome obstacles and challenges.

In February this year, I decided that I really wanted to run my first marathon this year. That goal soon become my primary goal for the year and helped reshaped my perspective on how I view work and life.
