From my bunker deep in the heart of England...In this episode, I wander from pillar to post musing out loud about my year and how I deal with this no-man's land of time between Christmas and New Year. I ruminate on the merits of eating beef stew in the winter. And I get ambushed by a kitten.

This quote smacked me right between the eyes when I read it.

"We judge others by their actions, be we judge ourselves by our intentions."

It's a spin-off from a Steven Covey quote: "We judge ourselves by our intentions and others by their behaviour."

Here's why it caught my attention.

When we observe other people, we only see their actions and behaviours. We make assumptions about their intentions.

Our judgments, good or bad, about another person's actions and behaviours are made from limited information.

Flip it around.

Before you take action, you know your intention. You have the internal context behind your actions and behaviours.

But other people observing you don't. They make assumptions about the intentions behind your actions and behaviours.

How often do your actions and behaviours not represent your intentions?

For example, my intention was to do the dishes before my wife came home from work.

But I got caught up in answering an important email.

I had good intentions, but what my wife sees is no action, which could easily lead her to conclude, lazy git, I can't believe he left these dishes here for me to do.

Don't be so quick to judge another person's actions and behaviours without knowing their intention. And don't forget to consider if your actions and behaviours are congruent with your intentions.

Do you like a good daydream?

But here’s why daydreaming can be dangerous and why you should use your discretion when daydreaming.

We get ourselves twisted in knots when we become attached to certain outcomes and resist others. Better to let go and go with the flow while staying focused on the process, not the outcome.

It's Day 6 of #audiomo or audio bloggers' month. Today, I talk briefly about this idea of feeling a sense of belonging at work. Do you feel psychologically safe enough at work to be your authentic self? Do you feel a sense of belonging that allows you to flourish as an individual?

So the question of purpose has popped back on the scene today courtesy of Mark Manson's newsletter which I receive.

What is my purpose? Am I living a life of purpose?

It's a timely question for me because I have been questioning my motivation. What is it exactly that I am trying to do and for what purpose?

As Agent Smith says, without purpose we have nothing.

Without purpose, we would not exist.

It was purpose that created us

Purpose that connects us

Purpose that pulls us

Purpose that guides us

Purpose that drives us

It is purpose that defines us

Purpose that binds us

So again, what is my purpose?

Even the best of us get tripped up by the things we preach about regularly. And today, I got tripped up, but I quickly caught myself, made the necessary adjustments, and then soldiered on.

My final conclusion on time is this: the only time you truly don't have time to do something is when you're dead.

Keep moving forward. One of a handful of mantras, I keep in my back pocket, ready for recall when I need them. And this week, I had to remind myself that regardless of setbacks, I must keep moving forward, even sometimes if that means leaving someone behind.

Don't read too much into this. Nothing drastic has happened. But I have had to make some changes to one of my projects.

In this episode, I'll update you on what's going on in the soulcruzer creatorverse.

As always, thanks for listening.

Do you consider yourself a good listener? If so, how do you know you're a good listener?

The thing is most of us don't really listen. We half-listen.

While we should be listening fully, we are instead, thinking about our reply or listening for a pause so we can jump in with our stuff.

I set a listening challenge for you on this episode. Let me know how you get on.

I've talked about this a number of times in the past, but, you know, it never hurts to remind ourselves of life's little truisms that help us ease our minds and boost our mental health.

I know stoicism is in fashion at the moment with the likes of Ryan Holiday and Tim Ferris waxing lyrical about it, but that's not why I'm talking about it. I've been a practitioner of stoicism for a long time. It helped me through my army days and has continued to be my grounding philosophy of life, along with existentialism.

I read a piece on High Existence that prompted me to talk about stoicism on the podcast today.

This piece from Anne Alexander really resonated with me. I'm guilty of burning the candled at both ends as well as multitasking like a fiend, two things that are not so good for our attention, which turns out, is a superpower if you cultivate it.

I'm looking forward to reading Peak Mind, by DR Amishi Jha a neuroscientist who has done extensive research on how our attention works. She shares a great beginner's technique for starting a mindfulness practice. It's called STOP. I'll walk you through it on the podcast.

I've been shuffling about in creative neutral these past couple of months, consolidating my thinking, figuring out what feels right to carry forward into 2022! What? 2022?! Yeah, that's right, I'm already thinking about the gig for next year. I like to start early so I can hit the ground running at the start of the year.

I mention starting up Wisdom Radio podcast, but on reflection, I think I'll just keep things simple and podcast from here - soulcruzer.

AudioMo Day 14. I get reacquainted with the Triggering Town.

View Details

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all. - Helen Keller
This quote has been with me for a long time. In my youth, adventure was my north star. I shunned the mundane. I hated the idea of living an ordinary life, doing ordinary things with ordinary people. I joined the military because as the recruitment poster said, “It’s not just a job, it’s an adventure.”

Post military, I continued my pursuit of adventure - jumping out of airplanes, rock climbing, mountain climbing, racing down mountains at break-neck speeds on a mountain bike, canoeing, adventure traveling, you name it, I was doing it. I became a thrill-seeking adrenaline junkie. And life was good.

At some point, domestic life caught up with me - wife, kids, corporate job. The raging flames of adventure settled down into a smoldering fire on the verge of going out. Over the past decade, I’ve settled into my role as a domesticated primate. I do interesting things. I get a bit of excitement from time to time, but no BIG adventures, no extreme uncertainty with death as a real possibility. I haven’t put my life on the line in ages. I haven’t felt that rush of adrenaline and extreme focus that comes with knowing that one small mistake, one lapse in concentration, could cost me my life.

Normal people my age are thinking about retirement or buying that little cottage somewhere in the country where they can settle into old age comfortably and peacefully, entertain the grandkids from time to time, and tranquilly wait for death to come calling.

Me, I’m hearing Dylan Thomas whispering in my ear:

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And I’m thinking how can I turn up the heat and go out with bang instead of a whimper.

Zombied out on fear
my friends gave me a medal for digging
a hole with my bare hands and walking
on water like the messiah when she was lonely
and thirsty for politicians, generals and reporters

locking and loading the sign of the cross gave
me goosebumps and butterflies like before a big
football game, the world knew i was sick, served
me up anyway like a rusty can of c-rations

my friends, adrenaline junkies, zombied out on fear,
shuffled about their business making life out of
anxiety and death, a pursuit they felt better than sex
until beetles ate their flesh and they drowned

Removing the comfort blanket of CPD hours brings firms up hard against the cold reality of the business purpose of learning. Some have dropped it like a stone, glad of an excuse to cut costs.

I know I talk a lot about building your online networks, but I think it is just as important as a small business owner to build your in real life networks as well. One of the networking groups I attend regularly is 4Networking, which prides itself on being 50% Business and 50% Social. And I think on the whole, achieves this, so worth checking out for one in your area.

had the pleasure to be in Stratford Upon Avon to catch Mike Pagan speak at the Stratford 4N Breakfast Meeting. Mike is a productivity expert and keynote speaker. Now I think Mike is one of the UK’s most underrated speakers out on the circuit today. He’s an excellent speaker, great voice and presence. So if you have a business event coming up and need a keynote speaker check out Mike Pagan.

In just under 20 minutes, Mike delivers a powerful message about how to find the success that’s right for you.

One of the things I love about 4Networking is the opportunity to meet a variety of interesting business owners and entrepreneurs who are doing some really amazing things in business.

I recently attended the 4N Warwick Breakfast meeting and got a chance listen to Peter Edwards of Edwards Performance speak. I’m a big fitness fan and have been involved with health and fitness since my days in the army and I can say, hand on heart, Peter opened my eyes to some amazing facts about nutrition and performance, not just as a fitness nut, but as a entrepreneur where productivity and mental alertness are key components of success.

You will want to listen to this podcast until the very end. I guarantee you’ll gain something useful that you can implement today.

It's been fun participating in the #audiomo challenge. I've met some really cool and interesting people. And here's a shout to everyone who participated, thanks for making sharing your time and effort and for sharing a piece of yourself with the #audiomo community. Let's keep the vibe going. Peace.

In this podcast, I say my goodbye to the #audiomo challenge. I also talk to the Dutch filmmaker, Franklin van Reem, who was on location making a documentary about the Brasserie de Bellevaux. I also talk to Carla Schuwer, the brewers wife, who tells the origin story of the brewery.

Earlier today, I blogged about some of the equipment I use to make my podcasts. At the time I was still awaiting the arrival of the Audio-Technica ATR2100. As luck would have it, I was out this morning when the delivery went down. I was a bit miffed because I've been waiting at least a week for this thing.

But luck swings both ways.

While out walking this afternoon, I saw a DHL van a couple of miles away from my house. I waved him down. Luckily he didn't think I was completely mad because he slowed down and pulled over. I told him I had missed a delivery this morning. He asked me my name and sure enough, he had my package. Cool. And good on him, he did ask for ID. Happy that I was who I said I was, the DHL man gave me my package and off I went.

I thought I'd give the ATR2100 a quick test to see how it sounds.

Verdict so far is I like it. I like it a lot.
