Pewpul

Here I recount a situation I failed to address properly that left someone else feeling hurt. This is a story about dating, but really it is a story about confronting issues and swerving procrastination.

This episode draws on principals discussed in "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni - primarily "fear of conflict". This is a threat to our careers, friendships and relationships and applies to my failings here.

As a long-standing FOMO sufferer, a podcast by Tim Ferriss and Greg McKeown prompted me to begin thinking most closely about removing clutter from my life.

Constantly on the go, I've begin considering how to introduce some calm in order to be at my peak when it matters. I talk through changing my smartphone habits, clearing out my room and other ways of reducing distraction and decision fatigue.

I hope you enjoy it.

David Speed turned his hobby of graffiti art in to a business that now counts Nike and Apple amongst its client base. In addition to running Graffiti Life, he also runs a tattoo studio and the Creative Rebels podcast.

He is a shining example of the growth mindset. David explained that he never had a natural flair for art, but through perseverance and passion he has gone on to produce some breathtaking street art.

What is also very evident is how seriously he takes preparation. He and his co-host meticulously planned out the launch of the podcast which ultimately resulted in it finishing launch day as #1 in the business charts on iTunes (ahead of Tim Ferriss) - not bad!

Prepare to be inspired. You can check out his graffiti at www.graffitlife.co.uk

This episode is inspired by an episode of The Joe Rogan Show with Phil McGraw. It's all about the benefit of facing challenge and adversity and why we should actively seek it out

As we approach the end of January, many of us will already be giving up on our 2019 resolutions.

In this episode, I talk you through how we can help each other fulfil our goals by holding others accountable. I then link this to earning credibility with yourself via incremental improvements and the compounding impact if these small steps.

Kristian here - It's been a while since we published anything so it's about time to give you an update on what's been happening.

Peter and I have discussed things and he wants to devote more time to his career and fitness goals. Personally, I love the mission of Pewpul so I'm keen to continue and am going to give it a go solo.

The format is going to be more more of a blog-type documenting my learnings, observations, experiences, etc - just in case anyone cares.

This episode focuses on the benefits of self-improvement and my own personal approach to it. Hope you find it useful...

Dating sounds super-exciting, and it really can be, but it's not all bouquets and love hearts. A talented and humurous writer, Lauren Crouch began blogging and Tweeting about her dating experiences and shot to prominence with a few hilarious, yet relatable stories.

Lauren's candour made for a really interesting discussion where we spoke about the realities of dating - the highs and the frequent lows. We cover "ghosting", game playing, apps and much more in a bid to try to work out the puzzle that is finding love.

Here we speak with the impressive Darshan Sanghrajka who is on a mission to dispel myths around masculinity with his new project; Being Mankind.

Darshan runs a social innovation agency called SuperBeing Labs which helps businesses with a strong positive social mission develop their product or service.

Being Mankind is a new initiative to promote positive male role models to schoolchildren. He and his team have produced a beautiful glossy book which they donate to schools each time one is sold. We discuss vulnerability, conforming to social norms and what is means to be a man.

Rob Thorp, Founder of Nootropic brand, Vi-Brain, kindly offered to stick around after our chat to explain to us (and you) what Nootropics are all about.

We cover some of the common questions such as: how they work, are there any negative side effects and how to take them.

We have actually been taking Vi-Brain Nootropics since first meeting Rob and have found them to be extremely helpful. Our sleep hasn't been affected in any way and we both feel as though we are able to focus much more than before.

If you want to find out more about Nootropics, Joe Rogan discusses them at length on his show - just search his name on YouTube.

We chat to the determined, focused Rob Thorp - Founder of one of the leading Nootropic brands; Vi-Brain.

Rob talks us through the process of steering himself away from his career in foreign exchange trading and in to the growing Nootropic sector. He is a great example of someone with a "growth" mindset - quite simply, he believes he is capable of learning new things and doesn't fear the unknown.

Rob also opens up on how he earns credibility with himself by constantly seeking the move out of his comfort zone and test himself.
