400 times.

So, where did we lose the fun?

As adults we are conditioned to be more stiff and serious – at what cost?

In this episode of the Mint Green Ukulele I am joined by Laughter Yoga Leader and 20-year improvisational theater performer, Amy Angelilli.

We talk about laughter and why it is a smart move to connect better, perform better, relax better and LIVE better.

You'll hear plenty of laughter stories, Amy's tools for laughter AND plenty of joyful laughs 😂😂😂

Give yourself the permission and joy us in laughter!

Tom's motto is today’s connection is tomorrow's opportunity. 

He is a public speaker, facilitator, avid outdoorsman, father and cheesecake lover!  

He gives people the ability to network confidently by showing them the necessary skills to make connections and gain opportunities anywhere.  These are the same skills he used to make himself a more comfortable and confident networker. Some of these very skills have helped him gain confidence and a sense of trust which were all taken from him after his bullies tried to drown him at the ages of 8 and 13. These incidents happened after already drowning at the age of 3 where his dad had to perform CPR on him.  Public speaking, swimming, and connecting with people were all skills he learnt as an adult. These were 3 of his biggest fears he had to overcome. Instead of shying away from these fears facing them and turning them into passions.

Is it just me or the New Year Resolution thing has been broken for a while?

Only a few days in and I am already fed up with all the goal-setting talk.

Of course, goals are important, but I don't buy the New Year New Me hype.

So I do things differently - and this is what I share in this podcast.

💥 Build The Basement Before The Roof: What are you moving toward? What is your vision?

We can't productively progress toward something we don't know about.

💥Tool Box: How do you align your day to day with your long term vision?I share my What To Focus On framework helping you create consistent progress so you FINALLY end the day, and the year, knowing you're getting closer to what you want.

It's the end of the year - what are you celebrating?

Celebration has its place in our daily lives - no matter if we received a medal or not.

I hear you, high achievers: "Yeah but I can't be happy when things are not done."

I hear ya.

The thing is, when we stay in a mindset of: "I'll be happy when...." we set ourselves up for NEVER being happy because the "when" part is always moving.

Can you relate?

When we retrain our brain to notice the positive and the progress, we can feel satisfaction daily, knowing that we are making constant progress toward our goals.

And, it also retrains the brain to stop identifying threats everywhere - those threats that add unnecessary stress to our day-to-day.

So how do you do that?

I am spilling the beans in this episode of the Podcast with two segments:

💥 Build The Basement Before The Roof:

There are two gaps you can focus on to sustainably make progress (while keeping your joy) - even if most high achievers only focus on one of them. Balance your focus on both!

💥Tool Box:

How do you retrain your brain to notice and celebrate the progress?

This powerful daily exercise will help you ditch the default negative interpretations you give to everyday events.

Anybody said more joy and less stress? 🙌

In this first episode we have two segments:

What I Wish I Knew: Fun Is Part of Productivity

I tell the story that led to calling this Podcast Mint Green Ukulele (scoop - it does involve a pastel music instrument!)

Build The Basement Before The Roof:

It's easy to jump on the quick tips and hope they will create miracles. In this segment where we look at fundamental principles to create sustainable transformation, we talk about the chain of command and why the easy tips and tricks often disappoint.
