  • Stop Following Others, Discover Your Own Thing
    Want to feel more fulfilled? Discover Your Own Thing.
    Interesting Conversations episode 3 is out now!
    The biggest thing I’ve learned in 2017 is the importance of Your Own Thing.
    Everybody in the world who you follow on social media has Their Own Thing, and it’s why you follow them.
    It’s something for you to discover for yourself.
    You can have several of Your Own Things, but you can only be truly known publicly for one of them.
    You must learn to work hard and discover Your Own Thing.
    Discovering Your Own Thing isn’t about making money or marketing yourself. It’s about becoming satisfied with your life, and being fulfilled that you know you’re working on Your Own Thing.

  • Value First, Selling Second
    Most businesses have a basic understanding of marketing. This thing I talk about today is the only thing you need to know.
    Interesting Conversations episode 3 is out now!
    The mistake I see so many people making with marketing is really starting to annoy me. 
    Selling. 
    Selling is OK, let’s not be wrong here. 
    BUT marketing should not be selling as a primary source. 
    Marketing should be about providing value, and making yourself an indispensable resource. 
    You can legitimately produce content first then figure out products after. 
    You can’t sell first, then get anybody to listen to your marketing afterwards.

  • I don't know what I want to do!
    There's an attitude in society that's quite dangerous, and it starts with this phrase: "I don't know what I want to do!"
    Interesting Conversations episode 3 is out now!
    There’s an attitude that lots of young people have that can be quite dangerous
    Not just young people either…
    I don’t know what I want to do!
    The only way to find out is by DOING
    By TRYING
    By experimenting
    “Follow your passion” doesn’t work for most people
    We’re taught that “follow your passion” is right, and we’re wrong if that doesn’t work
    We don’t often become passionate about things UNTIL we get good at them
    It’s hard to be passionate about things when you’re rubbish
    So it takes time to find a passion, and through lots of doing

  • The Age of the Web Personality
    We're now living in the age of the web personality. Here's why it's important.
    Interesting Conversations episode 3 is out now!
    2000 channels on YouTube have over 1 million subscribers

  • Creating Space For Action
    Space—and inaction—is as important as taking action and doing stuff.
    Interesting Conversations episode 3 is out now!
    You’ll notice this weekend I didn’t record any podcasts.
    And you’ll notice I didn’t do my daily emails.
    Both of these things were deliberate, to create some space in my life.
    The concept of space in weightlifting (rest)
    The concept of space in eating healthy (refeed days/cheat days)
    The body and mind cannot tolerate being under constant pressure forever
    Eventually, the constant pressure grinds down the ability of your brain to function properly
    Pressure—Rest—Pressure—Rest—etc.
    The brain needs space for creativity
    If it is occupied with doing, it cannot also create at the same time
    Real creativity only happens when the mind is empty

  • Create a Side Project, Not a Business
    I don't believe you can make a side hustle first BEFORE you've made a side project about your passion. 
    Interesting Conversations episode 3 is out now!
    Don’t create it about your business.
    Don’t create it to sell stuff to people.
    Create it about your biggest passion.

  • Believe In Yourself
    Your biggest enemy is likely you, and you need to learn to believe in yourself.
    Interesting Conversations episode 3 is out now!
    There’s lots of obstacles out there
    Your enemies
    Maybe even your family and friends who don’t believe in you
    When you change, people want to hold you back because you show up THEIR inadequacies
    I often find the biggest enemy is YOU
    Saying CAN’T
    Saying NEVER
    Saying NO
