Mentioning the ever-inspiring Francis Bourgeois and his love for trains (Instagram.com/francis_bourgeois43) and finally getting my butt to the Budokon Big Sky Ranch.

    Happiness, it's the goal. Or so we're lead to believe. It's easy to live a life where you do your work, have a bit of fun and then you die (maybe you have a kid or two on the way) but what happens when you ask yourself what happiness means to you? When you've reached that "goal" what happens when you ask, "Now what?" - this is my story of exactly that.

    Good morrow! Fair listeners...it's been a while. A few months in fact, since the last episode. Life in the land of Shiggi got tough and I decided I needed to take some time away from basically everything and look after myself for a bit. That all worked out great as you discover in this super short 15min episode. The biggest takeaway is a short summary of a January challenge I did and had people do a few years ago that had you follow 3 basic mantras for a whole month:1. Speak no bullsh*t2. Eat no bullsh*t3. Move your body (just a little bit)Super simple, but a far easier and encouraging way to get yourself through the year than most. Get stuck in - let me know what you thought.

    Not one to start lightly, 2019 has been one hell of a year and in a bid to finally get this podcast going, I've started with a topic that's been on the top of my mind since May - My mother's suicide. There is nothing sugar coated here. I'd be doing you and my self a disservice if it was presented in any other way. Whilst talking about my own situation, I give pointers and things to consider if you're in a similar situation or are a friend/relative of someone who's dealing with processing the suicide of someone close to them.
