When's My Time? - Development, Inspiration And Motivation With Ozzy Eyre

What links the first anniversary of the UK’s decision to leave the EU, the summer solstice, Ordnance Survey maps, and French author Andre Gide? Answer – this episode of the When’s My Time? podcast! A little too blustery for the birds to be singing much, but Jack did get to meet some of his canine pals, so there are a ...

It seems I’ve spent an awful lot of time of late having to mention terror attacks and other tragedies – but we must not lose sight of the fact there has never been a better time in history to be alive (I may talk about that further in another episode). BTW, this episode contains interruptions (one of which is pretty ...

Over the last week, one little corner of the internet that I visit occasionally went into meltdown over a video posted by a young man who was clearly in need of help. But instead of trying to understand and help, some folks were rushing to condemn. Look – I’m not taking a ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude, nor am I going to fall ...

Today’s episode finds me in a grateful frame of mind. It’s easy, when you go it alone, to feel that every challenge you meet is somehow aimed at you personally to try and frustrate you in your progress. Let me tell you, it isn’t! To my mind, the universe has far more important things to be getting on with (like ...

On the morning after an historic election in the UK, Jack and I find ourselves riding out a storm. What do those two things have to do with being an entrepreneur? A heck of a lot, as it turns out!   Share this Post Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Stitcher | ...

Another walk with Jack and today’s episode is a follow-up to yesterday’s after I received an email asking why I’d said social media was such a bad place when I use Facebook and YouTube all the time. Well, that’s not exactly what I said but thanks for the opportunity to clarify! I also give a shout out to another podcast ...

Following feedback from the last episode, I decided once again to forsake the studio and record while out with Jack. This time you find us at the allotment and I’m in a reflective frame of mind, thinking about the passing of the seasons – along with much else. I also promise you a link to an excellent podcast from an ...

For the third time in just a few weeks, no intro music, no outro music and no promotion of this or any other podcast or product. Instead, a reflection on the dreadful events in London on the evening of Saturday 3rd June  – and what it means to London, to Londoners, to the UK, and to the wider world. This ...

I got my first job when I was 11 years old, so I have a long working life to look back over. And in all that time, I’ve realised that I had one boss who was way worse than any of the others – and in today’s episode, I name and shame him. You don’t want to miss this one ...

Another sombre episode today – no intro or outro music, no promotion of this or any other podcast. Just a reflection on the horrific attack last night in Manchester and a suggestion for something we might all do (or, rather, not do).

It’s a funny thing – most of us crave attention, approval, significance. But when we get paid a compliment, it can, for some of us at least, feel uncomfortable. Usually, I would try to deflect the kind words someone offered, but not anymore… …and I changed for the best of reasons. While we’re on the subject of compliments, I’d like ...

Earlier this week, I was flattered to receive an email from a young woman seeking some advice. ‘Mandy’ is facing a difficult career choice right now (when was there ever an easy career choice?) and my guess is we’ve all been faced with making similar decisions in our lives. I figured the points raised in her email might apply to ...

We all want more of something – more money, – more recognition, – more stuff, – more time, – more respect, – more love, – more significance. The list goes on… But what are you going to do to get it? And, while you think about that, be sure to check out Jeremy Todd’s podcast ‘The Positive Side’ on iTunes ...

In the last episode, I talked about a good man who died too soon. In this one, I talk about what you can do to help. Hope that’s OK. P.S.

Every now and then, life throws you a reminder that you’re here for a very short time. If you’re lucky, that reminder is in the form of news about someone else and not you. Just because it’s about someone else, though, doesn’t mean you should ignore it, or not be affected by it. I had such a reminder this past ...

When I first started out on my own, I was focusing on the wrong thing. I wasn’t focusing on offering value. Then, when I learned to offer value, I was still missing something every bit as important… …and I’m guessing I’m not alone in that.   Share this Post Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: iTunes ...

I had a couple of very brief conversations while out walking my dog this morning – and each gave me a wonderful insight. Here’s what I got from one. You have something of enormous value to offer – you just have to figure out what it is.   Share this Post Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed ...

Some folks think I’m anti-job. I’m not. I’m just anti the wrong job. In fact, when you find the right person in the right job, it’s a beautiful thing. In a trip I took last week, I found many people in the right jobs and, in today’s episode, I talk about two of them. If you’re in the right job, ...

I’ve had a couple of setbacks over the last few weeks… …but nothing compared to the setbacks a little robin in my garden has overcome during the same time. I’m guessing she could teach you a thing or two about persistence, too!   Share this Post Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: iTunes | Android | ...

Recorded on 23rd March 2017 – one day after the appalling events in Westminster. Terrorists, just like the rest of us, crave significance – so how about we don’t give it to them? Share this Post Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed Subscribe: iTunes | Android | Stitcher | RSS
