Food to enjoy, skincare to try, places to visit and things to experience – In focus is a quick round-up of everything the focus team loved recently. Today, we’re sharing some of the podcasts we’ve been binge-listening to recently.
How I Work
Brilliant Amantha Imber interviews successful people on tactics, rituals and tricks they use on a daily basis to get things done and to keep their creative juices flowing. From how to organise your work desk to why traditional office space limits our productivity, from morning rituals to scheduling distractions in order to never really get distracted – there is so much to learn from these entrepreneurs. Besides the traditional interviews, How I Work also contains short, under 10 minute episodes with quick tips and tricks.
Episodes to start with: Nir Eyal On How To Become Indistractable (so smart and useful! We’re now on the hunt for Nir Eyal’s book ‘Indistractable’ with more in-depth tips) and Photographer and Creative Live CEO Chase Jarvis on overcoming creative blocks (entertaining, inspiring and revealing some unexpected truths on things you should really be doing in your life).
Don’t Stop Us Now!
Don’t Stop Us Now! is right up our alley – a series of fun, entertaining and fascinating stories from innovative and pioneering women from around the globe. Claire Hatton and Greta Thomas, co-hosts of the show, know their job – they’re asking the right questions and keeping the overall atmosphere of their interviews very lively, positive and exciting to listen to. It’s not your typical Q&A, rather a conversation of best friends, that you can also learn a lot from.
Episodes to start with: Gaby Dalkin – How Her Food Side Hustle Took Off! (we mean, scoring a job as a celebrity chef when she’d never even tasted fish in her life? We’re TOTALLY listening to this!), Laura Anderson – On A Mission to Mars (Woman breaking barriers in a male-dominated industry? Told you, this podcast couldn’t be a better fit for focus readers and our editors!)
Good Life Project
Though a bit too slow-paced at times, this podcast has, nevertheless, the greatest treasure trove of knowledge on how to live your best life and appreciate what you have. As they themselves describe it – ‘conversations about living a fully-engaged, fiercely-connected and purpose-drenched life’. We couldn’t have said it better ourselves!
Episodes to start with: Reimagining Work | A Path to Meaning & Joy (those 10 Sparketypes of people and how to apply them to your daily duties is a GEM!), Questioning Masculinity | Thomas Page McBee (a controversial but much-needed to-be-discussed topic – exactly how we like it!)
