Things We Learned On A Monday Morning

Who Is the Best Batman?

Every generation gets the Batman it deserves. But which one deserves the crown?

Gotham City has had many protectors, but the debate remains: who is the greatest Batman of all time?

🎙️ Join the debate: Who is your favourite Batman, and what makes him the best? Is it Christian Bale's intensity, Michael Keaton's iconic portrayal, Kevin Conroy's voice, Ben Affleck's physical presence, Robert Pattinson's detective work or Val Kilmer's take on the character?

Ever wondered why your favourite chocolate bar suddenly feels smaller?
Why printers can be so cheap, but the ink costs a fortune? Or why Costco is happy to sell you a ridiculously cheap rotisserie chicken?

It turns out there’s often a strategy behind it. This week’s Pod of the Week takes a look at the sneaky and sometimes surprisingly clever business decisions designed to increase profits without always making us feel like we’re paying more.

In this episode, I unpack:

Shrinkflation — less product, same price.
Loss leaders — why a cheap chicken can actually make a business more money.
The razor-and-blades model — cheap upfront, expensive afterwards.
Skimpflation — changing the quality rather than the price.


The bigger question?

When is a clever business strategy simply good business — and when does it become consumer manipulation?

The next time something seems like a bargain, ask yourself:

“What's the business getting out of this?”

Join us for this short episode about Zoë and Rilee and their adventure to make the perfect sandwich.

Coming Soon...

I had so much fun creating this episode with my girls. It was a special one to make, and I can't wait to share it with you.

The music featured in this video are their latest singles, now available on all major streaming platforms:

Zoe – I Love Jack
 Rilee – Everything

Stay tuned!

Today, we’re travelling the globe through childhood play. One game from every continent, each telling a story about culture, creativity, and community.

What’s fascinating is how many of these games require almost nothing: stones, chalk, string, sticks, or simply space to move.

And yet, they’ve entertained generations.

What if this season isn’t just something to survive…
what if it’s something to build in?

In the latest episode of Things We Learned on a Monday Morning, I share three powerful African-driven stories:

MAX AI — helping people earn income without owning a car
Solar Sister — empowering women to bring solar energy to their communities
Gjenge Makers — turning plastic waste into building materials

Different industries. Different challenges.
But the same mindset:

They didn’t wait for perfect conditions.
They built with what they had.

And maybe that’s the reminder for all of us.

This week on Things We Learned on a Monday Morning, I’m joined by Clint Higgins for a conversation about positive South African stories and what they teach us about building impact, opportunity, and meaningful resources in our own lives.

Because greatness isn’t about status.
It’s about what we build consistently over time.
