  • 003 Extend your Network

    Are you struggling to establish yourself in a new country or city? Do you find it hard to build a network of friends and professionals around you? 


    In this episode of Wabi Sabi, Laurence, and Jim discuss the importance of networking and how it can help you in your personal and professional life.


    Jim shares his experience of moving to a new country and how he was able to build a network of friends and clients through his involvement in the local cricket team. He stresses the importance of having pure intention when networking and not using it as a means to an end.


    Laurence talks about his struggles of establishing himself in different parts of Australia and how it was comparatively harder to build a network in a city than in a country town. He emphasizes the importance of doing the right things and building relationships without a specific objective in mind.


    Jim and Laurence highlight that networking is not just relevant to business but also life principles. They suggest disciplining yourself to say yes to invitations and getting involved in the community to build lasting relationships.


    If you're looking to expand your network and establish connections in a new place, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to Wabi Sabi for more insights on personal and professional growth.

    • 002 Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

      Welcome to Episode 2 of Wabi Sabi: The Art of Imperfection, where we talk about the big decisions that we make in life.


      In this episode, Jim and Laurence share their personal experiences of relocating to the other side of the world and how it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision. They discuss how there was a silent whisper in both of them that there was something more, and they needed to make a change.


      Laurence talks about how the repeated pattern of a predictable life scared him and how he needed to create more choices to do things differently. Jim, on the other hand, talks about how lockdown accentuated the essence of a person and how it made him question his current situation. He shares how he had frank discussions with his family, and an opportunity came for them to live a different life.


      Join us as we dive deeper into how big decisions can be scary and overwhelming but can also bring about positive changes in our lives.
