Juan Piña, everybody! As ever, we have a nice and weird conversation.  

We chat about alllll my favourite things like dark and intrusive thoughts, overcompensating, lying, and how we want the world to see us vs how we actually feel about ourselves.

Today we’re joined by Johnny Brock, the former bass player of Avalanche City and muuuch more impressively, a former colleague of mine!

In this episode we chat about the highs of topping the music charts, to the lows that can happen when it’s suddenly taken away.

This includes some of the mental and physical tolls that can take, some of the unseen costs, some of the learns, and touching on the transition back to a comparatively regular life after.

A reflection on the role of luck in life…

Being too scared to do anything. The fear of failure. Story of my life.

And with the help of One Direction, the Hungry Caterpillar, Cato the Stoic, and a couple of Gym Bros, we have a look at that particular fear today. Some of the ups, some of the downs, and whether it’s actually the fear of failure at all…

Rosie Blezard, ladies & gentlemen!

In this wiiiide ranging chat we discuss, amongst other things, honeymoon highlights, Harry Potter, body image, wellness hacks, life outlooks, some of the mental transitions as you go from your 20s to your 30s, aaaaand generally just being all round tragic millennials 😇

To state the obvious, jealousy doesn’t tend to be one of the better emotions.  

Having said that, I don’t think it’s allllll bad. And here we dive into this particular emotion, looking at some of the ups, some of the downs, and some of the people we may be jealous of… .

Something I actually know something about! As a novice in pretty much everything in life, I find a reminder about the benefits of being shit at something to always be fairly useful. As such, with it being NYR season (a time of year where we typically at least think about doing new things), it felt like a potentially apt time to pull this one together.

Welshy’s here! At the Wyre Stadium at Firhill - the home of the mighty Partick Thistle - Welshy and I chat about a range of topics. Firstly, starting a business (@BrianWelshPR on LinkedIn for all your PR needs), Running (@helensburghrunner for Welshy’s running Insta), and the Euros coming up this summer (come on!). Finally, to become part owner of Partick Thistle and generally check out what they’re all about, head over to thejagsfoundation.co.uk

It’s the time of year that you were(n’t) waiting for! For the third year in a row, we look back over the previous 12 months at some of the good stuff across ten different categories…

Blog number 50! And with it being a nice wee milestone, I thought we could chat about a nice wee topic: happiness.

In this one, we do, contrary to the misleading (but kinda catchy?) title, discuss more than one thing.

It’s, as someone who’s prone to feeling a bit sad, a reflection on some of life’s emotional trappings.
