What's your big goal? What's the thing (or things) you want to do, achieve, or be? One year ago, I achieved one of my goals. I released my book, The Triple C Method®. But for years, the idea of writing a book was just too overwhelming. So I did nothing but dream about it. Until one day I decided I'm going to do it. Then I asked myself one question. A question that I continued to ask myself as I continued on my journey to becoming an author. In this episode, I share that question and how it can h...

So you want to make a pivot? I hear this from clients, friends, and people I meet in online communities like Fishbowl or Reddit. But often, I notice that although they're saying that's what they want, there's a block. They know they don't want to do exactly what they're doing now. But there's a block as to whether or not they can do that. And that block then leads to frustration and angst, which leads to them to spinning their wheels and failing to make any meaningful progress. They might apply ...

In a week when two BigLaw firms are in the news for some typical BigLaw BS, this week's episode is a reminder that: 1. staying in a toxic situation so you can be an example to people that look like you isn't helpful to you or the people you're trying to help. 2. staying at a job out of a sense of loyalty is misguided because it will never show you the same loyalty in return. Be clear, be intentional, and don't be swayed by false promises. The BigLaw presentation The BigLaw layoffs What's your on...

I have a special gift for you this week. It's something clients ask for but think they'll never get. What is it? It's the gift of time! More time to do the shit you want to do. I've used the process I share in this week's episode to help clients reclaim as much as 50 hours per month! It's not magic. It's not rocket science. It's pretty simple if you put in the work. And while I can't guarantee you'll get 50 hours a month back, I can guarantee that you'll amaze yourself at how much time you have ...

People won't always like what you do. They won't always like what you say. But you can't be wrong if you're speaking your truth.

Let's talk about hustle. Hustle, hustle, hustle. I want to talk about hustle because the word hustle is polarising in the world of personal development. You have the glorification of hustle camp, and you have the demonization of hustle camp. Whilst I believe each camp is missing the nuance. In this episode, I look at the dictionary definition of hustle and explain why I think hustle has its place in creating the life you want to live, a life that's lit! And I explain the new phrase I coined to d...

Growth isn't always pretty. In the world of coaching and personal development, it can seem that personal growth is a beautiful thing. And it is. But it's a process, like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly; there are levels to this. In this episode, I share the 3 stages of growth, what they are, what they look like, and how they feel. Whether you're thinking about making a change or already in the midst of one, this episode will give you the insight to know what to expect at each stage so your hi...

3 years ago, I walked out of my BigLaw office for the very last time. And the only thing I was sure of was I was never going back! I didn’t know where life would lead me but I knew it had to be better than the last 5 years of lethargy. This week’s episode finds me reflecting on all that’s happened since that fateful day, 28 February 2020, and lighting a 🔥under your ass so that you can stop settling for what you think you should and start getting after what you want. Because if where you are isn...

Art is about experimentation, breaking the rules, and using your imagination to create. What if you looked at your life that way? As a blank canvas or an unformed piece of clay? A place where you could let your mind run free and create with freedom, joy, and without any expectations as to the outcome. How could your life be different if you looked at life like this instead of the linear path we're conditioned to follow? What would you do? What's your one takeway from this episode?

There's a stigma attached to changing your mind. People will call you flaky, a flip-flopper, someone who doesn't; know their own mind It's as if you're supposed to form an opinion once, and then you're stuck with it for life. The job you choose, the hobbies you have, the food you eat, the music you like. Once people know you for one thing, they want you to stay known for that thing. But that's BS. And it's holding you back from becoming the new person you're becoming. Because here's the thing, i...

When I was 18 I wanted a tattoo. But my fear of needles stopped me from going ahead. I got a couple of new tattoos recently, bringing my total to 7. So what happened to my needle phobia? Well, the desire for a tattoo eventually outweighed my fear. And once I got the first tattoo I realised the level of pain I was scared of experiencing was far greater in my mind that in reality. What have you been putting off due to your fear of the perceived pain you'll have to experience to get it? And have yo...

Sitting around theorising about what you want to do won't get it done. Stressing over all the things you have to do or that could go wrong won't get it done. Sure, you need an idea, but that idea doesn't;t have to be fully formed. In fact, it can't be fully formed if you're embarking on something you've never done before. This is episode 50 of The Triple C Project, a milestone worth celebrating. And I got here by having an idea and getting started. Are there things I could have done better? Sure...

It's very easy to get distracted and find that the day has passed by and you haven't got the thing done that you said you would do. You can implement all the personal development tools and strategies and they can help you increase your focus and productivity or whatever it is that you want to call it. But there are gonna be times when you just really kind of need to crank something out. No fuss, no distractions. That's where accountability can help. Having someone to witness your commitment to g...

Do you know those days that really set you off? Where you're just done. Maybe it's a day where 💩show of a deal just lands on your desk, and you're in charge of figuring it out. Or maybe a colleague requests your urgent assistance with something and not only does this fucks up your evening or your weekend, but you also discover the matter had been sent in their inbox for days! Maybe you're planning to go off to a friend's wedding and your leave gets cancelled because there's a deal that absolute...

What if you treated life differently? What if you treated your life like a game? Or a fun art project? What if you looked at yourself as a kid playing in a massive sandpit with a 💩 tonne of toys, you can build and create anything with? This week's episode is here to get you thinking about that. And to get you to stop letting the seriousness of 'shoulds' hold you back from experiencing the joy of pursuing your wants! What's your one takeway from this episode?

It's A New Year; It's A New Dawn; It's A New Life. (sung in the voice of the legendary Nina Simone 🎶🎤) OK, I'll concede that a new year happens once a year (Duh!). But technically a new dawn happens every day. And a new life is there for the taking every second of every day—no need to wait for a new year. So much pressure is placed on starting anew when a new year comes around, and typically those promises (resolutions) are discarded like the toys kids get tired of playing with after Christmas...

We're always quick to focus on the negative; when things go wrong, we carry that heavy feeling of defeat, and it becomes our prevailing narrative, the story of our lives. But how often do you focus on the positives? On what went right? On where you won big? Where you smashed it out of the park? If you're anything like I was, not a lot. But here's the thing, the more frequently to reflect on and celebrate your wins, the more 'winning' becomes your prevailing narrative. And once you identify yours...

Are you scared of making mistakes? You're not alone. I hear this all the time. You've spent your life ticking all the boxes, getting everything right, and the thought of getting something wrong brings you out in a cold sweat. That's why you keep doing the same thing, staying in the same place even though you know you're not where you want to be. But what if you looked at it differently? What if you saw mistakes as data, information to guide you along your journey? Because here's the thing, we al...

We all want to be comfortable. That's the human way. And I'm here for that! Rest, relaxation, and pleasure are all necessary parts of the human experience. But if you're seeking comfort to escape feeling your feelings, maybe there's a problem. You're falling beyond the realm of comfortable towards being comfortably numb, the state where you do whatever you need to do to numb the pain and avoid your feelings. Maybe it manifests in drinking a bottle of wine after a hard day at the office. Or maybe...

Or working towards achieving a big goal in the hope that it would solve all your problems and make you happy? Then you've got the thing, reached the destination., and achieved the goal. But you don't feel the way you thought you would. Maybe you get that initial burst of excitement but quickly feel empty. This is common. And it happens because you're waiting for li...

This week I talk about money. We're not supposed to talk about money. Some say it's vulgar to do so. Certain employers are known to have clauses in employment contracts that prevent you from discussing money. And we wonder why pay disparity still prevails. The great thing about having a podcast is that I don't have to follow conventions. I can and do, say what the fuck I like. It's important to discuss money. Not in terms of how much you have necessarily, but what it means it to you and what it ...

You know certain things make you feel good and serve your mission. Whether its: Working out; Eating right; or Sufficient sleep We all know that if we do these things consistently, we'll feel better and live better. But they need to become habits. Otherwise, you'll be like those new year people in the gym who hit it hard for two weeks and then fall off. In this week's episode, I talk about how you can build habits that serve you and share what I did to go from a sporadic meditator to creating a d...

Inspiration can lead to imitation if you're not careful. We've all been there, unhappy with where we are, looking ahead at where we want to be, and inspired by someone who's done what we want to do. But when that inspiration stops simply fuelling our desire, and instead, we start wishing for and imitating that person's life, that's a problem. We're not them. And we don't know what their life is really like behind the glossy veneer. If we did, would we really want it? In this week's episode, I di...

Do the same, get the same. It's a simple phrase I always like to remind myself of because it's a phrase I wish I had understood properly and implemented back when I struggled with limiting beliefs and lethargy in my BigLaw days. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. And that's effectively what the title of the episode means. If you always do the same thing, you will always get the same result. It's simple, ri...

We have more distractions than at any other time in history. And the biggest distraction for most of us is the little pocket computer we carry around with us everywhere we go (even the toilet, so I've heard). When that phone pings or vibrates, the urge to check what that notification relates to is a string. And even when it's simply sat there, not moving, not making a sound, the urge to pick it up anyway and find something to distract us is compelling. So how do you deal with distractions, espec...

Personal growth and development can be overwhelming. You read the books and watch the videos, but how often do you implement the tools, concepts and strategies that inspire you? If you're like I was, hardly ever. Because it all seems too hard! There's too much to do. So you fall back into old habits like a pair of comfortable shoes. I don't want this for you. Change is hard, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. It's all about starting small and working through the process. That's why I create...

How would you feel if I called you a quitter? Would it anger you? Upset you? Would you want to argue with me and punch me in the face? Quitting, being seen to quit, can bring up feelings of hurt, shame and embarrassment. Why? Because we're often told that quitting is bad, and quit is treated as if it's a dirty word. The prevailing narrative is that you keep pushing forward no matter what. You stay in your lane, focus on one thing, and be willing to risk everything to complete what you committed ...

Not everybody wants to see you shine. So what do you do when your old people don't support the new you? This episode is inspired by a conversation I had at an event recently. And it's something I've experienced ever since I walked away from BigLaw and started on a new path. It took me time to work through my feelings, hurt, anger frustration, and in this week's episode, I'm sharing how you can work through yours. See, once you start to change your life, step away from the person people knew so y...
