What If Money Was No Obstacle

Is The World Getting Worse?

In this episode we discuss whether the world is getting worse? I often watch BBC Archive of documentaries from 40-50 years ago, and the world was very different, perhaps better. I discuss both the for and against and consider how we deal with the modern AI, smart-phone, Amazon-dominated world. Please subscribe and follow the podcast if you have not already.

Between January 2004 and May 2005, I worked for Coral Eurobet as a Deputy Manager in one of their shops in Lincoln. I had a tough time, it wasn't a good fit. In this episode I tell the story, without naming and shaming, and I reflect on the time I spent there over 20 years on.

What If Money Was No Obstacle

In this episode of Let’s Take a Moment, we explore a question that cuts deeper than it first appears: what if money wasn’t the thing driving your decisions? This isn’t about fantasy wealth or winning the lottery. It’s about something far more real and uncomfortable, how much of what we do, choose, and tolerate is shaped purely by what makes financial sense. What would change if it wasn’t? Would you stay in the same job? Make the same compromises? Hold back the same ideas? Live in the same way? This episode challenges the quiet assumption that “financially sensible” is always the right answer. It looks at the tension between security and fulfilment, logic and instinct, survival and intention — and asks whether we’ve allowed money to take too central a role in defining what a good life looks like. Not reckless. Not naive. Just honest. Take a moment to consider: if money wasn’t the deciding factor… what would you actually choose?

Plans for my new vlog
