  • The Art of Less: Why the Best Professionals Work with a Smaller Palette 09.05.2026 10min
    We are constantly inundated with something new and improved. It seems almost impossible to keep up and we scramble for new tools. But what if we could pare back a lot and stay with a lot less? How can we achieve a much bigger "wow factor" with a lot less?
  • Storytelling: Misdirection 02.05.2026 15min
    It's not important to win an argument in person. However, when writing a book or creating a presentation, you need to get a slightly new idea across. However, what if the client has a strong counter-opinion? In this episode we look at how to use misdirection to get across an idea that's new and make it feel like it was the client's idea all along.
  • Storytelling: Why the Ending Matters Most of All When You're Crafting a Story 25.04.2026 6min
    Notice something strange when you tell a story. People are always waiting for you to finish because they want to know the point of the story. This subtle curiosity level gives us an advantage. It means that we can play director and change the path of the story. Every story seems to have a predefined pathway; yet what if we took one story and swung it in different ways? Wouldn't that be amazing? Let's find out how it's done.
  • How to Overcome the Obvious Fears of Group Consulting — Part 2 18.04.2026 19min
    One-on-one consulting seems logical, even superior to group consulting. It's why clients consistently prefer it. Which is why it seems almost reckless to move to group consulting. All the obvious fears bubble up madly. How can we tackle these fears and keep the client more than happy? Let's find out in this second episode.
  • How to Go from One-on-One to Group Consulting (and Have More Time for Yourself) 11.04.2026 14min
    No one needs to tell us that one-on-one consulting is extremely tiresome, even when it's rewarding. Each consulting session takes so much time: the preparation before, the downtime needed after, and the session itself. But will clients appreciate it—or even stay with you—if you suddenly change to group consulting? Let's find out how it's done, because yes, we've done it before, and so have many others.
  • Free or Paid? How to Know in Advance if Someone Will Pay — Part 2 03.04.2026 11min
    Free or paid? That's the question that rattles around in our heads when we want to promote an information product. And if it's free, why free? What's the benefit for you? If it's paid, should you go high or low? Let's explore Part 1 and Part 2 of this seemingly eternal mystery.
  • Free or Paid? How to Know in Advance if Someone Will Pay — Part 1 29.03.2026 20min
    It seems almost impossible to price a product—and even harder to decide when it comes to information products. How do you decide if you should give away the information free or charge for it? Let's explore the first two parts in Part 1 and Part 2.
  • Why going backwards is often a good sign of progress 21.03.2026 10min
    When we think about the journey of a thousand miles, we often assume it means constant forward movement. We picture ourselves taking one step after another, continuing steadily until the journey is complete. But in reality, most journeys involve setbacks. At times, after making progress, it can feel as though we're actually moving backwards. Strange as it sounds, going backwards is a good thing. Let's find out why.
  • How to Make Additional Time Out of Thin Air. 13.03.2026 22min
    There's hardly anyone who says they have loads of time. We all want 36 hours per day and eight days a week, and yet most of the time the time we so desperately seek lies in plain sight. If you use your time well, you will find that you suddenly have lots of time to waste. Let's go on this weird journey to find time that already exists.
  • Why Self-Study Works for Some People and Fails Miserably for Others 06.03.2026 16min
    We believe coaching is often the best approach but it's not always the case. You might find an average coach and make little progress or you could have an exceptional coach and become incredibly skilled. For most of our learning, self-study is essential but it doesn't seem to work for many people. Why is this? Sometimes the most perplexing question has a surprisingly simple answer. Explore why self-study is so effective for some while others struggle to make much progress.
  • Why all the productivity in the world may not matter after all 27.02.2026 4min
    You are told that you have to be productive, but how productive is productive? We have been at work for close to 26 years, and we still have a full day of activity. Isn't that good enough reason to slow down or just do nothing at all for some of the days? Let's find out why productivity needs a break.
  • Why Feedback Barely Helps Progress (And Why "Instant Feedback" is Crucial, Instead). 20.02.2026 16min
    If you ask most people what is the core of learning, they will give you something banal like hard work or practise; however, they will also state that you need to get feedback. The problem is that feedback almost never has the necessary impact. The reason why it fails to help us move forward is because of the timing. What we need is not feedback but instant feedback. But why is instant feedback far superior than just feedback alone? Let's find out.
  • Why Habits Fail Consistently (And Why You Need a Habit System Instead) 07.02.2026 12min
    Most of us still accept the idea that you need 21 days to build a habit. Yet, most habits can fall apart even if you labour at them with dedication. That's because of why a habit fails. It fails because of a lack of a system. But what's in that system? It's the drive to remove inefficiencies. All habits fail if they're inefficient. Find out why you need a habit system, instead.
  • Why Habit-Change Is Almost Always Temporary (And How to Create Lasting Habits) 30.01.2026 12min
    If habit change is really about personal effort, why do so many carefully built habits quietly fall over the cliff? The answer isn't motivation and it's certainly not willpower. Bah, grit! Habit change is based instead on your environment. It's almost always based on the company you keep. Let's find out why your environment is the most important habit changing strategy of all.
  • How to speed up answering e-mail—and everyday messages as well 20.01.2026 14min
    We are constantly typing, whether it's on our phone or at the computer. Sometimes, it's just a simple message; at other times, it is a bunch of emails. But the typing is relentless.
