For the second episode, I handed the mic over. Becky sat me down and asked some of the questions I usually ask everyone else.
We get into where Health, People, Places, Things actually came from, and why each word means more than it looks like on the surface. Health isn't just physical, it's mental, emotional and spiritual too. People covers everyone from family to colleagues to acquaintances. Places is travel, experience, community. And Things is a reminder not to be owned, by what you own.
We talk about why I started podcasting in the first place, from an early guest spot on Brews News through to being a guest on Becky's own The Resource Podcast last year. We get into the business betrayal that cost me a mate and nine years of my life, and how I chose to look after the people around me instead of getting bitter about it. We talk about becoming a father to twin boys, and what that's taught me about leadership and legacy. And because I can't help myself, we get into a long list of books and the people, alive or not, I'd love to have around a table.
Health. People. Places. Things.
