Episode – The one about email

Are you living your best email life, or are you drowning in a sea of unread messages? If your hand is up and you’re going under, this episode may just save your life. Well, not literally save your life, nobody ever died from too many emails, but the chances are you’re feeding your own email monster, and it’s getting stronger by the day, and if that monster then came to life, for real, from another dimension, then it might literally kill you. So you should definitely listen to this episode!

This week Ish and Sacha discuss how to get back in control of your inbox and the joy of living in the white space.

Episode – The one about strategic thinking

Ever been talking and just waiting for your brain to catch up to your mouth? Or been in a meeting and someone asks you a question you hadn’t considered and didn’t know how to answer?

Being able to assess information through different filters and consider possible outcomes is a crucial leadership and business skill. In this week’s episode, Sacha and Ish explore strategic thinking and how to test your ideas and thoughts.

They explain the danger of shiny thing syndrome and how focusing on a new thing means not focusing on something else. So how do you figure out what your key priorities are while also being open to new ideas? Good question!

We also find out what the hell happened to Ish’s eye (lucky this is just an audio podcast, legend has it if you look too close, it steals your soul!)

And is there a market for coffee that tastes like gravy?
