Mindful & Driven

Welcome to episode 7 of the Mindful & Driven podcast! It's all about how to not lose sight of what really matters whilst chasing your dreams.

Episode 7’s guest is one of the nicest people I’ve had the pleasure of speaking to​ - Rachael Kable.  She’s a mindfulness coach, the author of The Mindful Kind book, the host of the Mindful Kind Podcast, and an award-winning blogger. Her podcast attracts tens and thousands of people each week. She delivers solo episodes where she walks people through different mindfulness exercises that she believes would help them tackle everyday struggles. 

It’s quite rare that she jumps in an interview so I’m really proud to bring her on to the podcast today and to share her insights with you.  

Topics discussed in this episode:
How to be more mindful. Why it's important to absorb as much knowledge as you can. What are the easy and effective mindfulness exercises you can do every day. How to be more mindful in the age of constant distraction.  Why it's important to pay attention to your sense. How to find balance between life and business. Breathing exercises that help you relax and live in the present moment.

Welcome to episode 6 of the Mindful & Driven podcast! It's all about how to not lose sight of what really matters whilst chasing your dreams.

Episode 6’s guest is Andrew Gold. He’s presented and produced documentaries for both the BBC and HBO. The most famous is about an exorcist in Argentina. He now has a podcast called On the Edge which is listened to by tens of thousands of people each week. He interviews these outrageous people all over the world with stories that you just wouldn’t believe. 

Andrew himself has lived in Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Germany and is now back home in the UK. He speaks 5 languages fluently which helps him to really understand his guests and get to a point of understanding where most people can't access.

Andrew champions the idea of being understanding instead of being kind. For him,  the idea of being kind is frustrating because it doesn't take into account the nuances of life. It's much more interesting to be understanding of people's different points of view.

Topics discussed in this episode:
Why being kind is overrated. Kindness isn't the solution to the problems humans have. We need to be more understanding of each other. Why it's important to understand others. Why listening to others is important. How to be more understanding. How to understand people better. Understand others if you want to bring positive change.
