Making it to the airport before the plane takes off in peak hour traffic is a time thing. Whatever the cause, here we find ourselves “pressed for time.” Writing a book, producing an album, or starting a business though is a little trickier. Yes, there’s a time consideration, but we are moving into a grey...

If we are completely “in” the culture, we can run 24/7. We can get caught up, burnt out and generally beaten down. When we are completely “out” of the culture, we go troppo. Or we sit on a mountain somewhere in open expansiveness. Feels nice, but tricky if we’d like to get something done. One...

“That’s a whole different can of worms.“ Really? Perhaps we should take a look at that then? Very often a short time constraint puts a limit on what we get can get through in a class, session or meeting. So, we skip over the heavy stuff. We’ll focus on the agenda, which of course is...

Last night Eliud Kipchoge from Kenya made history. In Vienna, Austria, Eliud broke the two hour barrier for the marathon, finishing the 42.2km race in 1:59:40. Similar to the first sub 4 minute mile by Roger Bannister in 1954, this is a remarkable breakthrough for sure. While there are a lot of things we can...

Free as a bird. It sounds kind of nice. But really, it’s not likely we’d enjoy this utopian state for too long, and it certainly wouldn’t gel too well with society or the culture at large. Whether it’s gravity, paying taxes, or how you choose to manage your email inbox, boundaries and constraints have a...

My boss Luke had just had his second baby, and it’s the end of the day, he’s tired. It had been a big day in the store. Luke had hired me part time to help him, and this place cranked. It’d become the number one specialty running store in NSW and one of the top...

Not the kind on your music, the other kind. Give 150 speeches. Brew 1,000 coffees on the espresso machine. Write 3,000 short stories. Do 100 sales calls per day. “Volume,” or repetition, is a remarkable teacher. It has the potential to break through some pretty thick skulls (even my own!) and deliver the message to...
