“Lifestyle Design” is how Tim Ferriss describes thinking about what you actually want your life to be, separately from how much money you need or what is preventing you from achieving it. It’s easy to miss opportunities when you don’t know what you want, so even though life is what happens while you’re making other plans, the alternative is that you never get anything you want.

We talked about walking, running, swimming, strength training, injuries, trackers and keeping momentum. We also touched on the vulnerability of being seen working out. Who wants a bright red face at work?

We’re often told “You should do what you love” but this idea doesn’t often get unpacked. How do we fall in love with something? Can we do things we love in the service of things we hate? Or the opposite? Is doing something you love a privilege? What about when what we love doesn’t seem to love us back? And what is the relationship between love and trauma? Big chats, come and listen.

Patreon produced a series of articles looking at the creative process in terms of these four phases or factors. We took each one and had a good old chat about it, and came up with some takeaways and conclusions for each one.

What is professionalism and why do we have to be it? Is it just a mechanism of control that only applies to lower-level employees? Or is something we should all expect from each other; a demonstration of respect? Let’s figure it out.

Working out how to cheat is an interesting thought experiment, even if it just helps you clarify what game you’re trying to win. We talked about different places people cheat — games, school, life, business, politics — and who ends up paying in different situations.

London is a great and terrible city. If you want money, or you have money, it offers possibilities available nowhere else. But it’s a cynical place. Should Michael break up with it like Ivanka did 10 years ago?

We had to look it up, but we wanted to talk about how anxiety works in all its forms - unfocused, focused, momentary or lifelong. We decided it’s useful when you can do something about it but less so when you can’t. (We’re not talking about anything chronic!).
