Nigel read me a poem with no warning, and a few minutes later he had a nosebleed in the middle of recording.

Episode 059: The Cookie Episode
Nigel’s first story of 2020 is a lesson in jumping to conclusions. Plus why I ignore the best and worst 2% of feedback and look at everyone in the middle.
Thank you for judging me
A nasty comment on one of my posts made me look at myself. So I decided to say thank you.
Episode 058: The S Word
The S in FOCUS is stick with the plan, with Nigel’s Pizza Hut to Orlando book rewards and me finally letting go of my summit.
Episode 057: The U Word
Week four of FOCUS is U for unload and unfollow, and Nigel tells me on air my book deadline won’t happen.
Episode 056: The C Word
Nigel said communication, I said conversation, and the difference came down to listening. Plus his zoo animals going rogue.
Episode 055: The O Word
The O in FOCUS is organisation, and Nigel has a mouldy bread test for whether the people around you are helping or dragging you down.
Episode 054: The F Word
Nigel’s F in FOCUS is fewer things. Pick three musts for 2020, and check which Belfast airport you’re landing at.
Episode 053: The Way She Was Embarrassed
Nigel wins a client back with a simple congratulations, and I explain why you shouldn’t put the same show on every channel.
Episode 052: It’s Totally Bad and Causes Cancer
Nigel won’t give up his daily Diet Coke, and I explain why most people hate seeing themselves on video (blame the mirror).
Episode 051: Embrace The Suck
Embrace the suck. Your first go at anything new will probably be rubbish, and Nigel’s pilot says planes are off course most of the time too.
Episode 050: Is This Episode A Blip?
Episode 50, and I finally told the ultramarathon story. The best bit wasn’t the medal. It was what the consultant called me the next day.
