Getting Shiggi with...

Well, well, well. Would you look at that? It's a Wednesday AND happens to fall on the 1 year anniversary of my mother killing herself. So I'm shooting from the hip and just reviewing what I went through, feelings and thoughts as time went on and maybe even how I'm trying to accept my new reality and start walking forwards in my own wake. It's a chunky one coming in at just over an hour, which was unintentional. I could have recorded it, but I'd be doing anyone who needs it a disservice

Holy potato, folks! It's an episode out on a Wednesday at 6pm UK time! I joke, I have no concept of time right now...but what I do have is a concept of existence of some kind. Still on lockdown in the UK. The industries that I thrive in won't be seeing the end of this any time soon so I've allowed full on introversion and questions to do their thang. Which has resulted in some fun discoveries, and a few baby steps forwards. www.enterthedroid.com being one of them (if you know, you know)...

Episode (c) 19. What a time to be alive....I think we're all going to have COVID-19 fatigue soon, what with every single conversation hovering or swimming in the hot topic of the pandemic currently sweeping our little planet. I've been in self-isolation for 10 days and I'm not coping so well, if you listen to this podcast you can hear the cogs in my brain start stalling towards the end...observing our own behaviours is rather hilarious when it comes to solitary confinement.

2020 has been a little bit rough, eh? Well...thankfully earlier this week I got a little bit of fire back in my heart thanks to Stephen Fry (he doesn't know, but thank you for being you!) and we're carrying on with the lovely whimsical off-the-cuff style podcasts I started with. Dive in to hear why this happened, how things are going to move going forward and some big...quite frankly SCARY AF news...that you'll be the first to know (when you know)

Ew. We're back. I took a break because I felt like it. This is me gently easing myself back into this gloriously hot bath of podcasting about ridiculous things. I may sound like I've eaten a frog. I promise it's not permanent. It's short and sweet this week, back into the full swing of things next week! There are 4 books to go for Season 2....let me know what you want to hear or talk about for the next few seasons.

A repeat author?! Why, yes. Alain De Botton - The Architecture of Happiness (The Secret Art of Furnishing Your Life) had to feature as it helped shape a pivotal point in my 20's just after getting out of the drain-hole of clinical depression and being inspired to look at the world of Architecture. Of course, there is a story or two intermingled with the ideations and lamentations of why Architecture even "is" - albeit very lightly. I'm no scholarly psychologist or philosopher, so don't expect anything ground breaking. But if you hate pebble dashing as much as I do and find New Builds in the UK reprehensible at best, come have a listen!

Episode 5 of the book season. Today's got a bit emotional! Unintentionally but when you're talking about a book you read to understand your dad and how life must have been for him in a concentration camp, it's going to happen. Understandably the episode is shorter, but you definitely need to have a listen to see why.

A beautiful segue from the last episode, where we looked at Seth Godin writing about the Lizard Brain. One of his sources comes in the form of Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. The accessibility and simplicity of this book covering what he calls The Resistance, should be read by everyone. Period. ....I'd end my description there, but there's a touch of radical honesty, a story of calamity and a reason why I hate gyms that includes hamsters. That's all I can say, you need to listen to it now!

Oh Snap! It's a sexy segue into another book episode. This time it involves anti-squatting, Evian water deliveries, working for the government and why all of that mess in my life boils down to the very existence of Seth Godin's Linchpin. I got a bit carried away with the stories (why else are we here, though?!) and pull out the one bit of the book that really blew my mind, made me uncomfortable and got my candy ass to go do the work! 
If you're finding life a bit sludgy right now, I implore you to read this book. Right meow.

Straight into Season 2 Episode 2 (or episode 12 of this whole damn thing, because we're going for that full 100-episodes before I can stop!) and this book fundamentally changed my life course. A touch dramatic? Maybe - but it's the truth... Tim Ferriss' The 4-Hour Workweek is probably a book many of you have read, maybe even some of you are a bit of a fan (I know I am) so the words I share will be no surprise to you but the stories around them are fun and different - what relevance does my being naked have in any of this? 
Well, you gotta listen, obviously.
