Mind Monkeys Welcome... now on Spotify

Mind Monkeys... is now on Spotify

Please excuse the weekend email Reader,

If we're connected on LinkedIn, you're possibly aware that I started a regular live stream series back in February, called "Mind Monkeys Welcome... Bananas Optional".

Packed with conversations with special guests; the purpose of the show is to name, explain and reframe the hesitations (the Mind Monkeys) that we each encounter in our daily lives.

The more we openly talk about how and why we hesitate... and hear thoughts, suggestions and moments of genius in terms of how to acknowledge those pauses and still move forwards, the easier it becomes to do just that (and also help those around us do the same).

And it's going rather well

The reason I go live on LinkedIn, is to allow the conversation to happen in real time. No edits and, more importantly, an opportunity for listeners to join in the conversation in the comments section.

Of course, it's easy to miss an episode, so I have been creating a 'podcast playlist' on YouTube to make it easer for people to watch them back.

You can watch the latest episode (with Resilience Guide and Bestselling Author, Gilly Mulford) here:

And now it's a 'proper', grown-up podcast

As of yesterday, the show is now also on Spotify. The first three episodes are currently live with all other previous shows being added daily between now and Friday 12th June.

Then on Friday at 10am UK, I go live on LinkedIn again with coach, guide and mentor, Sara Southey (talking about "sorting your sh*t out"... her words ;-).

This will be added to YouTube and Spotify that same day.

Just one disclaimer on the 'proper' statement... it will always be an unedited, unscripted show. It's not about the bells and whistles, it's about the magic of the moment, 'ums and aahs' included.

Join in the fun

Please do subscribe to both/either YouTube and Spotify. Add your comments, suggestions and questions and (even better) give them a share – who do you know who could benefit and appreciate these kinds of conversations?

And if you fancy being a guest at some point in the future, hit the reply button.

Thank you for allowing me to interrupt your weekend.
Have a great Sunday​
Warmly,

Image of Ross from Friends making a gesture asking someone to quiet down a bit. Over the image is text that reads "Too much? If anything, you're not enough!"

Too much? If anything you're not enough! Did you use to watch Friends, Reader? If so, you might remember when Ross moved in with Joey and Chandler and, after a short while, began asking them to 'quiet down a bit' in various scenarios. Ahh, those sanctimonious little hand gestures. We all laughed because, well, Ross... but... Has it happened to you? Did someone, at some time, tell you to 'bring it down a bit'. Maybe not in terms of volume. Maybe in terms of attitude, viewpoint, enthusiasm,...

A young lady shrugs in confusion. Over the top of the image is the sentence (in a bold font) "That's not my why"

"That's not my why..." Happy Monday to you Reader, If you have kids or very young relatives, you may be familiar with the "That's not my..." touchy-feely book series (I used to sell them by the thousands!). The premise is simple: Take a cute character (baby animals work well) Every page reveals a characteristic of said creature that confirms it can't possibly be yours – e.g. That's not my guinea pig... it's tummy is too scratchy There is a touchy-feely patch, on the guinea pig's tummy, that...

A white piece of paper on a green background. A question mark is cut out of the paper, casting a gentle shadow

Be more curious today Have you ever been asked a question you can't answer, Reader? About 30 years ago, a mate of mine asked me "Who invented carpet?" There were two reasons he asked me this: He thought that I was pretty good at general knowledge He was a bit stoned I did not know the answer. I have subsequently Googled it. Carpets are Middle Eastern in origin and have been around for well over 4000 years. This is not the answer he was hoping for. He wanted names. I'll never have a name for...
