We are back in the studio for the first pod of 2026! It’s a solo Friday night session over a cup of tea, and I’m emptying the ”black book” of thoughts.
In this episode, I break down the formula for success: Reps = Value = Reward = Fulfillment. You can't just jump straight to the reward; you have to put in the reps (like I did with 5+ years of photography) to build your value. When you focus on adding value rather than just an hourly rate, the fulfillment follows.
I also chat about:
A massive family milestone: 8.5 years in the making, both kids are finally in school!
Why ”easy times create soft people” and why the whinging needs to stop.
The importance of energy and spirit—don't be a mood drainer!
Future plans for a mobile camper van studio. 🚐
It costs nothing to be a good human. Tune in now! 🎧
