EPISODE 11: Our 6 year old, Dee

EPISODE 13: My Neice, Ava

EPISODE 13: Ava, my niece, and I share a bit of time in a local Starbucks catching up during her half term break where I find out what she's been up to. We dive into topics such as the the things that brings her joy, how she feels when she is doing the thing she is passionate about. She educates me on things a 11 year old gets up to and what this Tick Tock thing is all about!!! Ava opens up about her thoughts about starting a new school and what she thinks of her Dad having his 'Headspace' time and going vegetarian. I'm amazed at the level of maturity and confidence this young lady has!!!

EPISODE 12: All My Bros

EPISODE 12: First podcast of 2020 and something a bit different. A group conversation with my 3 Brothers where we literally pick out questions out of a bag and answer them as honestly and truthfully as we could. The questions include the humerous such as "Who would win in a Royal Rumble?" to the philosophical, "If you knew you were going to die tomorrow, then what would you today?" This conversation took place shortly after a Sunday Roast and a couple of pints so the wit, humour and ego was in full flow. We were all speaking over one another at times but this was thoroughly enjoyable and memorable. In case your wondering, yes, we really are like this when we get together. Enjoy.

EPISODE 11: Our 6 year old, Dee

A short, entertaining conversation connecting with our eldest son, Dee. Named after the Californian city, San Diego and recorded soon after our memorable summer holiday to our favourite place. This interview was captured around 3 in the morning whilst we were both jet lagged. Dee randomly and freely chats about what he enjoyed during the break, what he wants to be and other facinating topics whilst stuffing his face with his favourite breakfast, nutella and banana on toast!

EPISODE 10: My Big Brother, Josh

My big Bro, Josh, and I sit down in a local Starbucks for about 40 minutes and we talk about what's it like being the eldest, how he is "the glue", what has been his biggest challenge (he shares a deeply personal story), what gets him pumped at 45, how family is everything and how he has zero regrets. With the authentic sounds of the toilet dryer and coffee machine in the background, this is a genuine and a real conversation and captures the essence of what Coffee & Chismiss is all about. This is a family member I deeply respect for his values and principles and is the epitome of a Big Brother. I will always look up to him.

EPISODE 9: Being excited, being proud & being a family

In this solo round, macchiatto sized episode I reflect and assess my original interview with my wife, Gigi, in episode 6. A couple of months have gone by since that interview and so I provide a bit of an update but also add my personal thoughts on the three main themes: excitement, pride and family. Let me know what you thought of this deconstruction and post analysis.
