Nigel owns up to our acronym habit, then I go through what LEADER stands for, from a monkey thank you card to £10 for owning up.

Episode 090: Like A BOSS??
Everyone in lockdown was telling people to do things like a boss, so I worked out what I think B.O.S.S. really stands for.
Episode 089: This Episode is C.R.A.P.
Someone at an event told me my blog numbers were crap, so I grabbed a flip chart and agreed with them, one letter at a time.
Episode 088: Nigels White Lips
Nigel covered his lips in white sun cream, I cracked up, and then he made a proper point about taking your own advice.
Episode 087: Attitude Intake Movement
Nigel nicks my AIM acronym for his duck line, and somehow gets me on record saying a bar of Dairy Milk is good for you.
Episode 086: One L of an Episode
The last letter of Nigel’s REAL model is L, for leadership, and he reckons it starts with leading yourself before anyone else.
Episode 085: Keeping It R.E.A.L.
Nigel’s REAL idea only got as far as three letters, plus a form where he’d spelt his own surname wrong.
Episode 084: Thought Beats Price Tag
Nigel thought I’d redecorated my house in our branding. It was a green screen. Then we got onto why a bit of thought beats a big spend.
Episode 083: The Last One About the CHAMPION Model
The last letters of Nigel’s CHAMPION model, O and N, plus fifty challah rolls at half price because he had the nerve to ask.
Episode 082: Sponsored by the Letters P and I
Nigel finally finishes perseverance and gets onto integrity, but first he pins me down on what my book is going to be called.
Episode 081: The A, The M, The P
Nigel’s attitude-o-meter, the mission on the back of his business card, and a software boss who knew some things just take time.
Episode 080: C, H and a Tiny Pinch of A
Nigel starts his CHAMPION model with character and heart, and we both mark ourselves out of 10. I was honest about my off days.
