Nigel had a brilliant day in Norfolk and a hard one in London, and I came out with a line that became the title.

Episode 179: Be The Verb
Nigel had lost his voice, so I took his voice note about motivating the motivator and ran with it. Be the noun, do the verb.
Episode 178: Nigel is Speechless
Nigel lost his voice, so I did this one on my own and got thinking about who’s in your corner when plans fall over.
Episode 177: Live In The Solution
A friend’s nudge reminded me how much the podcast reaches people. Why you should let your mess age before it becomes your message, and why ringing someone worse off helps on a bad day.
Episode 176: The Courage To Quit
Sometimes giving up is the right call, and I learned it being dragged face-first behind a boat in St Lucia.
Episode 175: Where Are You? (and the when did you last pick up the phone?)
Nigel got offered a Calendly slot seven weeks away, so he just rang the bloke and sorted it in three minutes.
Episode 174: The Reason Why Most People Suck
Nigel owns up to a week where he’d got nothing done, and we end up talking about going easy on yourself.
Episode 173: Customer Experience Matters (especially when it sucks)
My holiday got cancelled by the storms and nobody thought to tell me. Nigel and I on why silence loses you customers.
Episode 172: Taking The Towels and The Sweets Away
A guest house took away Nigel’s second towel and sweet because he was on his own. He laughed, and that became the whole episode.
Episode 171: Feedback, Feedforward and Something Even More Important Than That
Nigel’s silent 1,000-person webinar, my client’s video notes, and why a big reaction to a bad coffee probably isn’t about the coffee.
Episode 170: The Importance of Being You
Nigel reckons the act lasts about three days on Big Brother. We talked about showing up as yourself, on stage and off it.
