You're A Blue Unicorn - Here's Why.
The Consensus Is - There's No Consensus, Test Print of Book, Podcast Season 1 Ending
Am I doing this right? This is my first Substack, and I think it will be a better place to bring together the conversations and people I am called to bring together.
Released on Saturdays, getting you to think about and reflect on your week.
If I have nothing to say that week, the email will just say “nothing to report this week”. Usually I will update the following, if there is something to report:

Reflection Question for the week.
Sweet. Simple. To-the-point. No B.S.
Sound good? Let’s kick off week 1.
Coming Up.
First test print of our collaborative book, 18 & Lost? So Were We. Getting used to Kindle’s print-on-demand feature, and boy does it feel good to have the hard copy in my hands (albeit awkward looking text and poorly printed images).
To get a sample or one of the first copies at discount, go to www.18andlost.com.au
What I’ve Been Thinking About.
That the consensus is — there’s no consensus. There is no such thing as the right way, only the way that is right for you. The Song of the Blue Unicorn is worth looking into, I summarised it in a blog post.
Ego. False self. Astro the Dog. Our inner ‘Being’. Insecurity. Energy. I’m trying to reconcile this jigsaw of ideas and see how they fit together in a clear and easily understandable way.
Reading Recommendations.
Trillion Dollar Coach: The Leadership Playbook of Silicon Valley's Bill Campbell by Eric Schmidt, Jonathan Rosenborg and Alan Eagle.
The unsung hero of modern times — the man who shaped the people who shaped the world. Everyone should know who Bill Campbell is, what he did, and why he didn’t answer Steve Jobs’ phone calls during Little League Coaching.
Recently Posted — Podcast.
The Self-Awareness Web — self-awareness is the key that unlocks any Door. Think about it.
The Self-Authored vs. Socialised Mind and more… the theme of this week was on knowing yourself to all-new-depths, which I argue makes you a better person across-the-board.
The Inner and Outer World — you live in two worlds. One is probably more important than the other.
Question of the Week: What would you do, even if you knew in advance you’d fail? (Seth Godin)
What would you do anyway?

I Would be working on Constant Student Anyway - haha. I believe following a sense of calling or personal legend as referred to in the alchemist is Key. The path that makes your Heart Sing. For me that includes having interesting conversations around what I'm learning with honest and kind people + communicating, presenting messages I find inspiring + exploring and testing out some sense of design or art. It would probably me willing to fail at a talk around Mindset, Mindfulness and Human Connection are hot buttons for me. Thanks for the Question Doorman
