EP9: Ash Dykes - Extreme Survival & The Business to Being an Adventurer

Ash Dykes is a Welsh explorer and world record holder, and we have the pleasure of hearing about his remarkable journey from chip shop worker to world-leading adventurer. Ash is known for taking on solo expeditions in remote and dangerous locations, including crossing the ridiculously treacherous Madagascar, being the first to follow the full length of the Yangtze River and undertaking the first solo and unsupported journey across the Gobi Desert. Over these journeys, he has had to make life or death decisions and maintain physical and mental focus that some of us could only dream of. The episode breaks down what his experiences can tell us about staying effective under pressure, what makes him different and how the hell he got to the desert in the first place. Pushing himself to the absolute limit. Enjoy.

RE#3: Traitors & Group Dynamics

It's been a while since our last episode but we're excited to be back! The Traitors is a fascinating show that highlights some very interesting topics that I personally love to talk about. Group dynamics, performance under pressure, cognitive biases and group decision making are all key components of the show and that's why I've decided to breakdown a few of the areas I think have the most transfer to everyday life.  Are people with higher IQ's worse at the game? Why Traitors should never be voted out in the first few rounds. What's the key error the faithful make that also happens in teams all over the world? Enjoy the episode!

RE#2: Mastering Idea Generation

If there's one topic that I rely on more than any other it's this one. How on earth to you consistently come up with new ideas?  Almost everything I do depends on the quality of the ideas I produce; Sales closes, podcast questions, session ideas, thumbnails, titles, public speaking and loads more.  The topic I go into in this episode is one I've been studying desperately for the last 4 years, as I view it as so crucial to any sort of progress. And luckily for you and me, it can be learned and developed.  Over the next 25 minutes I'll dive into how to generate consistently good ideas and how history's greats have done the same. Enjoy the episode!
