Nigel’s old coach had ten steps to success and Nigel couldn’t remember them, so he gave us four of his own daily ones.

Life
Episode 036: It’s Not What We See, It’s What We Feel
A quote about closing your eyes got Nigel and me onto gut feelings, higher power, my dad’s medal and notes in sandwiches.
Episode 035: Response Ability
Nigel and I on owning how you respond, from Nigel’s talking ice cream to why someday isn’t on the calendar.
Episode 034: G.O.A.L. (B is for Accountable)
Nigel’s acronym for goals came out as GOBLE, and I turned up an hour late to record it.
Episode 032: Self Esteem, Risks and Responsibility
We’d already recorded this one before I messed it up, which made it a fitting episode about self-esteem and owning your mistakes.
Episode 031: Did I Really Commit to Me?
Halfway through the year, Nigel asked whether we’d really owned our goals, then announced a live day I’d never heard of.
Episode 029: Whats Your Health Score?
Nigel sprang a health list on me, so I scrapped the plan and scored myself out of ten on air. 957 steps by half two.
Episode 027: One Conversation Away
Nigel’s speaking career began with one conversation. Mine nearly did, after a best man speech, until the voice in my head said no.
Episode 025: Walking The Walk
Episode 25, and Nigel and I got onto rigorous self-honesty and the bloke who gave his dream car back to Hertz.
Episode 023: Dealing With Distraction
We forgot which episode we were on, which was a good start for one about distraction. Chunking, timers, flight mode and a chocolate ban.
Episode 022: How Are You Feeling Today?
Nigel had news he didn’t want this week, so I brought out the four seasons idea I use for storytelling.
Episode 021: When Your Spouse Doesn’t Support Your Dreams
Matylda asked what to do when your spouse won’t back your career dreams, and Nigel’s first answer was educate them or leave them.
