#72 – Just More Floss-ophy”

13 November, 2020 by RiskingFailureAdmin Leave a Comment

Do you ever notice how when you go to the dentist, it always seems to come down to “flossing”. And how every dentist, doctor, business advisor, teacher, designer, or leader in some other area of life has their version of “flossing”…Dobbo shares how a recent idea of “flossophy” has developed for him on the home front, which explains that moment when you hear another “essential” thing you “should be doing”, but aren’t – and whether it really … [Read more...]

#71 – Demoralizing Results

13 November, 2020 by RiskingFailureAdmin Leave a Comment

In this episode we talk about those demoralizing times when you think you’re doing awesome, great, things are “shaping’ up” and THEN all of a sudden while in the middle of some menial task (such as letting the dog outside), you realize – “Wait a minute… am I REALLY doing as good as I think I am? Am I really kicking ass and taking numbers?” – and how quickly you mood changes from “strutting” to “struggling”…That was our conversation this … [Read more...]

#68 – Partial Attention & Decision Fatigue

13 November, 2020 by RiskingFailureAdmin Leave a Comment

Is it even possible to genuinely focus on more than one thing at a time? We heard someone (unusually high IQ) talking about being able to work on multiple things at one time and be completely engaged in them, which raised the question of whether that’s really even possible. And if we could have this skill, would we even want it? So in a world filled with continuous partial attention, it’s not long before the constant juggling of tasks … [Read more...]

#67 – Writing, Tidying & What Brings Joy

20 April, 2016 by RiskingFailureAdmin Leave a Comment

Looking back to 2015 - It's hard to believe we recorded this given that the "Kondo" method exploded across the world to the point of becoming slightly annoying! But let's just say we caught on to the craze a lot earlier than when it really hit the tipping point!! Time to think, consider, ponder and re-assess… New year is well over, the year is supposed to be in swing – but we’ve both been thinking a lot these first couple months about small … [Read more...]

#66 – Themes v Goals

17 February, 2016 by RiskingFailureAdmin Leave a Comment

In this episode we re-visit our year end conversation about… well “Year End & Year Beginning”. Rather than talk about goals and things we want to achieve, we’ve soaked into some ideas about what kind of themes we’d like to revisit or come back to and explore this year. The idea is that we’re going to test out re-visiting this list of themes each quarter. Listen in to get the whole list, but they include things like “Simplifying”, … [Read more...]

#65 – You’re not supposed to talk about that…

27 January, 2016 by RiskingFailureAdmin Leave a Comment

In this episode, we chatted about a bunch of things that sometimes society considers to be “taboo”. We started in talking about social media and some observations on balancing the life we actually live, and the “online life” that provides feedback on our lived experience in a way that’s not always helpful or even wanted! But the meat of this week’s chat was about “Taboo” topics. First, check out the TED Talk – Taboos About Parenting … [Read more...]

23 December, 2015 by RiskingFailureAdmin Leave a Comment

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!! It’s a wrap folks – 2015 is done and Chrissy & Holiday are here! How was your year? If the thoughts of more goals, achievement, success/failure and peak performance stuff at year end turns you off, then you’ll love this episode coz it really doesn’t have any of that stuff. In this episode we have a little fun with the christmas festivities, before launching into a bit of a “how did you think your year went” … [Read more...]
