NEW EP UP NOW. One of the mistakes made or transitions required is flipping dopamine from learning to action / outcomes. If you can start getting big dopamine rushes from delivering outcomes rather than ticking off learning, it will change your life. #letsjuststartpodcast #dopamine #action…

When you’re in a rut or low energy it’s important that you focus on what DOESN’T matter and get rid of it. What’s your brother, the neighbour, anyone really doing? It DOESN’T matter. Focus on the things that ACTUALLY matter to you and actively block focus on outside noise. #letsjuststartpodcast…

All or most signs point to all confidence being lost in Australia. One signal is Supreme Court filings of disputes are up, and this is usually a sign of economies on the down. When the future looks bright, people move forward looking outward with confidence. When they have lost confidence, they…

High flying women and non-career driven men being married is a relatively recent thing. This has taken some significant adjustment. It can drive insecurity in the man as we have been socialised this way, but it doesn’t necessarily start there. Will likely be very normal 10-20 years from now, but…

High flying women’s careers en masse is a fairly recent development. We have been socialised to see man leading the income game and women playing second, but that has changed dramatically in a very short time. It’s no wonder things are a bit bumpy. More on this in episode. #letsjuststartpodcast…

Is one partner happy for the other to work 24/7? This is a very serious question that couples need to understand before they commit their lives to each other. Women who have serious career ambitions particularly need to be careful marrying men who don’t have ambition. This will eventually lead…

Governments (state and federal) are giving us ZERO reason to be confident. The spending, the tax increases, the gaslighting, the hubris and arrogance, it’s hard to see how they are equipped to deal with the challenges ahead (including the ones they created). But alas, we bring our own…

If you’re going to be at a big ‘soulless’ corporate, what are the trade offs? Obviously can work on bigger stuff and maybe have more resources, but it can be hard to connect on values and some of the more important things. It’s all about trade off. What are to getting in exchange for what you’re…

Everyone in Australia currently under an economic squeeze. Everywhere you go - on the roads, businesses, schools, you can feel an underlying tension across the country. There are a few reasons for it but that tension is showing up in anger and anxiety under the surface. Be aware of it in your…
