Good Grief by Martin 100 days
Episode Summary
This episode explores the "try try again" mindset — tenacity, resilience, and a can-do attitude — alongside mind mapping as a tool for memory. It's a reflection on why persistence works: each attempt teaches you what doesn't work, sharpens your skills, or simply gets you lucky. Success can live in the doing itself, not in some big payoff — the experience, joy, and sense of satisfaction are the reward. A few personal stories are shared along the way, less as achievements and more as everyday examples anyone can try for themselves.
In This Episode
The Try Try Again Mindset A look at the old saying "if at first you don't succeed..." and why adopting this attitude consistently can lead to better outcomes — and let you start expecting them, whatever you're working on.
A Small Example: Stretching for Better Movement One current try-try-again project shared in this episode is improving hip flexibility for better movement on a surfboard — a reminder that it's never too late to keep working on a long-term goal, even one that's decades in the making. A simple new stretching habit shows how small, consistent changes can open up unexpected benefits elsewhere too.
The Power of Early Starts A look at why rising early can carve out dedicated time for yourself, help you tackle tasks you'd otherwise put off, avoid peak-hour traffic, and make your day feel more effective overall — a habit worth trying if mornings currently feel rushed.
10th Annual Ska and British Music Festival Recap A celebration of this year's milestone 10th festival, made possible by a great team effort with Nick Compton of 6 by Nine Agency, whose professional touches helped make it the best festival yet. It was also a chance to share a stage in front of the biggest crowd yet — around 600 people singing and dancing along — a nice reminder of what community events can build up to over time.
MORE Mindful: A Programme for Living The episode closes with the core elements of a simple "MORE Mindful" approach to life — being more present and taking action on what truly matters. It's offered not as a fixed formula, but as a starting point others might adapt to their own lives. The foundations include:
- Movement / Activity
- Others (contact and connection)
- Rest
- New learning
- Healthy eating
Plus a few other, more personal elements — worth mentioning as a starting point, but everyone's list will look a little different.
Outro Track
🎵 "Spot On" by Dr Cuz — a fun, sing-along party hit to close out the show.
