Recognizing failure patterns is the closest thing an innovator has to seeing the future.   If you can recognize the patterns, you can change the future, because most failures are not original. They repeat, and that repetition is the pattern: the same handful of patterns reappearing in one organization after another, decade after decade.   This one stings a little.   In 2011, Bill Geiser told me, almost word for word, how the project we had spent the past two years building was going to fail. He saw the pattern before I did; I heard him say it, and I never forgot it.   The failure still happened.   This is not a pre-mortem. A pre-mortem imagines new ways your plan could fail. Recognizing failure patterns means learning from failures that have already happened elsewhere and spotting the early signals before you repeat them, while there is still time to act.   By the end of this episode, you will have four patterns in your own library, a five-minute way to check any project against them, and the four steps to take when you find one.   Let's get into it. The Smartwatch We Killed In 2004, Fossil hired a watch-technology executive named Bill Geiser to help build innovative technology for their watches. A few years later, he and I started spending real time together, me as HP's CTO, him running watch technology at Fossil. Between us, we had an idea we both believed in: a connected wearable, years before anyone used that phrase, co-innovated by HP and Fossil, with each bringing its expertise.   Fossil named the resulting platform the MetaWatch. It ran an ultra-low-power processor with a 96 by 96 display, an accelerometer, and Bluetooth. It was designed to last a week on a charge, and it shipped with a full developer kit so anyone could build apps for it. We revealed the partnership in March 2011, at an HP event in China. And between us, we had the one thing Apple did not have in 2011: distribution. HP held roughly ten percent of consumer-electronics shelf space. Fossil sold through twenty thousand retail stores that carried its watches.   Bill saw the ending before anyone. He told me in 2011: "Phil, I wouldn't be shocked if Apple evolved the Nano to take advantage of this space. They'll legitimize it in consumers' minds worldwide."   So the man building the watch spotted the failure in advance, out loud. And naming it changed nothing.   The signs kept arriving in plain sight. HP went through three CEOs in thirteen months. In August 2011, Leo Apotheker killed HP's consumer mobile strategy and WebOS, which removed the platform that made a smartwatch matter to HP at all. The battery lasted three to four hours against the original target of a week. We ran month-long approval cycles for changes that startups could implement in days.   Then I went out on medical leave. When I came back six weeks later, HP had killed Palm, WebOS, and the connected wearable project.   Here is what the ignored warning turned into. The Apple Watch shipped in April 2015. It sold 4.2 million units in its first quarter, and by that fall Apple was selling three out of every four smartwatches on the planet. The market we walked away from grew from three hundred thousand units in 2012 to forty-five million by 2018, and Apple held fifty-one percent of the market share.   The idea was never the hard part. It never is. The hard part is committing. What Recognizing Failure Patterns Means Nothing that killed the MetaWatch was new, and none of the signals were faint. They were loud; they were ignored, and each one was a pattern that has killed projects for decades.   Recognizing failure patterns has two halves. The first is building a library of how failures repeat. The second is matching the situation in front of you against that library, and forcing what you find into an actual decision while the fix is still cheap. Bill did the first half. Neither of our companies did the second, and the gap between those halves is where the Apple Watch came from.   Here are four entries for your library, straight from this one failure. Each one ends with a test question. By the end, you will have a four-question checklist, and then I will show you what to do when a pattern shows up. Pattern 1: Success Protects Itself Fossil's traditional watch business grew from $950 million in 2004 to $3.25 billion by 2013. It was tripling while we were building the thing that might replace it, and that growth made cannibalizing it politically impossible. Fossil never had to kill the MetaWatch outright. Fossil positioned the watch as a two-hundred-dollar development platform, something no ordinary customer would ever be handed at a retail counter.   When we constrain what we're innovating so it doesn't risk the present, we've lost the future.   Test it: Is the new thing priced, staffed, or positioned so that it cannot hurt the current thing? If the answer is yes, this pattern is already running. Pattern 2: The Warning That Changes Nothing Bill's warning was specific, early, and exactly right, and it still changed nothing. I heard it directly, and hearing is not the same as deciding: nobody re-ran the plan with "Apple arrives and legitimizes the category" as an input, no roadmap changed, and no budget moved.   Test it: What decision changed after the warning? If the honest answer is none, the warning was never acted on, no matter how many people remember hearing it. Pattern 3: The Problem Nobody Owns A week of battery life was the MetaWatch's central promise, and it shipped at three to four hours. Both companies saw the gap. No one owned fixing it. The hardest problem on the project sat on the seam between two companies, and problems that sit on seams get reported, tracked, and carried forward without ever belonging to anyone who can be asked why the problem is still there. We ran that partnership for two years and never settled whose job it was to lose sleep over the one number that mattered most.   Test it: Who owns the hardest problem, by name? If the answer is a partnership, a committee, or a pause, then nobody owns it. Pattern 4: The Pace Mismatch Earlier, I shared that we ran month-long approval cycles for changes a startup could implement in days. That is a pacing problem: the organization's internal pace versus the market's. A smartwatch in 2011 was a fast-moving product running through slow-moving machinery, and no amount of talent inside the project could close that gap. The delay was structural, not personal.   Test it: How long does one small change take to approve, against how fast the market moves? Time a real one. Do not estimate it. Five Minutes on a Project That Died The four patterns are the start of your library. Before you use it on a live decision, test it on a dead one.   You have a dead project in your past. Everybody does. Pick the one that still stings and give it five minutes against the four test questions.   Was an existing success being protected while the project starved, in pricing, staffing, or positioning? Did people raise a warning, and what decision changed after it was said? Who owned the hardest problem, and can you name the person? And how long did a small change take to approve, against how fast the market was moving?   When I run the MetaWatch through those four questions, I find all four patterns. Your project will probably show fewer. Every pattern you find is one you will now recognize as it happens on the project you are working on right now. The Four Steps When You Spot a Failure Pattern Which brings up the harder half of the skill, because recognition alone did not save us. Suppose you had been standing next to me in 2011, holding all four of these patterns. It would not have been enough. Being right about the future means nothing without the organizational machinery to act on that insight.   So when a failure pattern appears on a live project, follow this sequence.   Step one: Say the failure pattern out loud, in the room where the decision lives. Not in the hallway afterward. Use the pattern's name.   Step two: Get it onto the decision memo. A warning that lives only in conversation changes nothing. Write the pattern and what it costs into a document that will drive a decision.   Step three: Attach an owner. If you identify a critical problem, assign it to one person. Not a team or an organization. Someone you can ask next sprint why the problem is still there.   Step four: Attach a date. Being early provides an advantage, and a failure pattern without a date on it fades unnoticed.   Bill was right for four years, and Apple was the one who acted on it. That could have been us if we'd had the organizational courage to back our vision with meaningful resources. Conclusion You now have what nobody handed me in 2011: four patterns of failure, a five-minute check, and the four steps to run when you spot one. What you do in the room where the decision lives is the part Bill's warning never got.

Most nonprofit executive directors lose their strategic thinking time every week for a reason that has nothing to do with discipline: it is the only block on the calendar with no one waiting on the other end of it. In this micro-episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage explains why strategy loses to everything else on a CEO's week — every competing commitment carries a consequence for missing it, and unstructured thinking time carries none — and lays out three moves that make the strategic function structural instead of willpower-dependent. She also reframes executive fatigue as data rather than a character flaw: when a design cannot absorb organizational pressure, the leader absorbs it instead.Episode DescriptionThe finance committee meets on the fourteenth. Multiple active grants have reporting windows that don't line up. A program officer already has a call on the books. Every one of those has a person on the other end, and that — not its importance — is what makes it happen. Then there's the two hours blocked to think about the next three years. Nobody is waiting for that. So when something else needs the slot, it takes the slot.In this micro-episode, Brooke Richie-Babbage makes the case that this is a scoring problem, not a time management problem, and not a discipline problem either. Strategy is the only function in most growing nonprofits with no structure holding it up. Payroll has a calendar. Grants have portals and deadlines. Governance has bylaws. Strategy has the CEO — and that's the entire infrastructure. Listeners walk away understanding why guarding the block harder has already failed, and what to build instead.Key Questions AnsweredWhy does my strategic thinking time always get canceled?Is it a discipline problem if I can't protect time to think?Why do nonprofit executive directors struggle to do long-range planning?How do I make strategic time stick without relying on willpower?What is a Design Deficit in a nonprofit organization?Why does executive director burnout keep getting treated as a personal failing?What should a nonprofit CEO focus on during a week when they're already depleted?Is it key-person dependency if the whole strategy function runs through me?What You'll LearnWhy strategic time loses on the calendar every week — and why the mechanism is a missing consequence, not weak prioritization or poor time management.The three moves that make the strategic function structural — attaching thinking to a deadline that already exists, requiring one small written output per block, and clarifying decision rights so escalations stop eating the hours.A subtraction protocol for depleted weeks — how to identify the two or three decisions that actually change the shape of the next quarter, and what to do with everything else.Key TakeawaysStrategic time doesn't need more protection. It needs a consequence. Every strategic question a CEO is carrying sits upstream of a decision someone will eventually be waiting on. The work isn't to manufacture urgency — it's to find the deadline that already exists on the governance calendar and attach the thinking to it.Strategy is the only function in a growing nonprofit with no scaffolding. Payroll has a calendar, grants have portals, governance has bylaws, programs have staff and workplans. Clarity — the direction-setting, the deciding — runs on one person's unprotected calendar. That's a Design Deficit, and at $1M–$5M it's the most expensive one.Depletion is a reading on the gauge, not a verdict on the leader. Systems absorb pressure or people do. When a CEO is the absorber, exhaustion is telling them what the organization isn't carrying yet — which makes it diagnostic information, not evidence of inadequacy.The hours come back through decision rights, not willpower. Thinking time gets eaten by escalation: a director who copies the CEO to be safe, a small reallocation waiting on approval, a board chair calling about something the ops manager owns. As long as everything has a legitimate claim on those two hours, protecting them won't hold.Grinding through is how a structural problem stays a personal one. Pushing harder works, briefly. It also spends the one asset the organization can't replace — the CEO's judgment — and buys the design flaw another quarter of invisibility.FAQsWhat is a Design Deficit in a nonprofit organization?A Design Deficit is the gap between how an organization is structured and what its current size actually requires. Brooke uses the term for nonprofits whose systems were built for a smaller version of themselves and were never rebuilt as the budget, staff, and funder base grew.Why do nonprofit executive directors keep canceling their strategic thinking time?Because strategic time is the only block on the calendar with no one waiting on the other end. Brooke argues this is a scoring problem, not a discipline problem: every competing commitment carries a consequence for missing it, and unstructured thinking time carries none.How can a nonprofit CEO protect strategic time without relying on willpower?Attach the thinking to a deadline that already exists on the governance calendar, require each session to produce one small written output, and give that output a named recipient. Brooke adds that the hours only hold once decision rights are clarified so escalations stop claiming them.What is key-person dependency in a nonprofit, and how does it apply to strategy?Key-person dependency exists when a critical organizational function runs entirely through one individual. Brooke points out that boards flag this immediately when it applies to revenue, but rarely notice when the entire strategic function of a $2M organization depends on the CEO having one uninterrupted Thursday.What should a nonprofit leader do during a week when they are already depleted?Subtract rather than add. Brooke recommends identifying the two or three decisions that would change the shape of the next quarter if made badly or not at all, keeping only those, and assigning everything else a decision rule, a delegate, or a stated delay.Is executive director burnout a personal problem or a structural one?Brooke treats depletion as data rather than a character report. When a design cannot absorb organizational pressure, the leader absorbs it instead. The useful question is not how to push harder but what the depletion reveals the organization is not yet carrying on its own.Step-by-Step: Three Moves That Make the Strategic Function Strutural1. Attach it to a deadline that already exists. Strategic time needs a consequence, and the governance calendar is already full of them — the finance committee in six weeks, the renewal decision in October, the director-level hire that has to happen before the fiscal year turns. The block stops being "Thursday, nine to eleven, think" and becomes "Thursday, nine to eleven, the two funding scenarios for the finance committee on the fourteenth." It's the same hours, but now canceling costs something.2. Require one small output. Open-ended thinking time is easy to cancel because when it's skipped, nothing is visibly missing. Give every block one deliverable and keep it small: three options and what each one costs, or one decision written down with the reasoning underneath it. Not a forty-page plan — a page. This also does a second job. Institutional memory that currently lives entirely in the CEO's head starts moving into the organization, one written decision at a time.3. Give it an owner and an audience — then fix decision rights. Put a person on the other end: a deputy expecting the memo Friday, a board chair who knows the scenario is coming, a peer expecting the question that's been circling for months. Then address what actually eats the block, which is escalation. What can a director decide without the CEO, up to what threshold, and who do they go to instead? The hours come back through decision rights, not through discipline.For weeks when the tank is already empty: don't add anything — subtract by what's meaningful. Ask which two or three decisions this week, if made wrong or not at all, change the shape of the next quarter. Those get the CEO. Everything else gets a decision rule, a delegation, or an honest delay, stated out loud so it stops sitting as an open loop. Then name what the depletion is revealing in one sentence — I'm still the only person who can close a six-figure gift; my directors bring me problems, not recommendations — and treat that sentence as the redesign brief.Want to work together?

Newsflash: Long, unbroken stretches of sitting appear to carry health risk beyond the daily total of sitting. But breaking them up can help even when the total hours spent sitting number doesn't budge. A listener asked about NEAT -- the energy burned by the movement of ordinary life that isn't exercise -- and the answer turned out to have little to do with calories and a lot to do with staying strong and mobile as we age!

Fed Up: What Evolution Reveals About Food, Diet, Health, and Eating Well by Dr. Daniel Lieberman (Knopf, August 2026) — his new book, which we'll be discussing in a future episode. Move Your DNA: Restore Your Health Through Natural Movement by Katy Bowman (Propriometrics Press, 2nd edition 2017) — the source of the idea that movement works like a diet, with walking as one nutrient rather than the whole menu. Mentioned in this episode: Dr. James Levine — the Mayo Clinic researcher who coined the term NEAT in the 1990s while studying weight gain. His best-known study overfed volunteers roughly 1,000 extra calories a day for eight weeks; fat gain varied widely across the group, and those who gained least tended to be the ones whose everyday movement increased to meet the surplus. Levine JA, Eberhardt NL, Jensen MD. "Role of Nonexercise Activity Thermogenesis in Resistance to Fat Gain in Humans." Science, 1999. The Stanford fitness tracker study — seven wrist-worn devices tested against lab-grade equipment in 60 volunteers. Six of the seven measured heart rate within 5% error. None measured energy expenditure well: the most accurate device was off by an average of 27%, and the least accurate by 93%. Stanford Medicine news summary — Shcherbina et al., Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2017. Sitting time in older adults — reviews of objectively measured sedentary behavior put adults 65 and older at roughly 8.5 to 9.5 hours of sitting a day, more than any other age group, with long uninterrupted bouts associated with cardiovascular disease, blood sugar trouble, frailty, and in some studies higher dementia risk. Breaking up sitting and physical function — a pilot study in frail older adults found improvements in Timed Up and Go and sit-to-stand scores when participants broke up their sitting, even without reducing total sedentary time. Harvey et al., "Stomp Out (Prolonged) Sitting" pilot — note this is a small pilot; treat the finding as promising rather than settled. Movement as a diet — the idea that walking is one nutrient rather than the whole menu reflects Katy Bowman's work, particularly Move Your DNA and Movement Matters. Two small moves from this episode ●    Break up the sitting. Once an hour or so, stand and move, even briefly — refill the water, walk to the mailbox, unload a few dishes. Right after a meal is a particularly good moment, since movement after eating has been shown to soften the blood sugar rise. ●    Attach movement to moments that already exist. The kettle boiling, a phone call, a commercial break, a trip to the printer, the end of a chapter. Decide once what the movement will be, and let variety in — balance on one foot at the counter, reach for a high shelf, get down to the floor and back up.

On a peut-être toutes et tous connu un moment dans notre couple où les tensions sont omniprésentes, cette phase où rien ne va, cet espèce de flottement où on sait que la relation n'est pas épanouissante mais on ne sait pas par où commencer. A la rentrée 2022 avec mon mari on s'est séparé de manière assez violente. Ca a été le cataclysme dans ma vie et je me suis plongée la tête la première dans des livres, podcasts, ted talk pour comprendre.

Description: What if God is speaking far more often than you realize? In this conversation, Mike Blackaby shares how believers can recognize God's presence in the ordinary routines of life—not just during miraculous moments or spiritual highs. Learn practical rhythms that help cultivate intimacy with God through everyday faithfulness. If you've ever felt spiritually dry or wondered why God seems distant, this episode offers hope and practical encouragement.About the GuestMike Blackaby is a pastor, author, and speaker who co-authored Experiencing God in Everyday Life alongside members of the Blackaby family. Building upon the legacy of Experiencing God, Mike encourages believers to recognize God's presence in ordinary routines and develop sustainable spiritual habits that deepen intimacy with Christ. He holds a PhD in Worldview and Apologetics from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and is passionate about helping believers think deeply and live missionally.Reasons to ListenPractical Faith Learn simple rhythms that help you experience God during ordinary moments instead of waiting for extraordinary ones.Lasting Transformation Discover why consistency—not spiritual highs—is the key to long-term discipleship.Actionable Wisdom Walk away with practical ideas you can implement immediately, including gratitude practices, silence, Sabbath, and habit-building.Big TakeawaysGod Is Already Present You don't have to manufacture God's presence; you simply need to become more aware of where He is already working.Small Rhythms Matter Daily habits shape who you become far more than occasional spiritual experiences.Valleys Build Character Spiritual maturity is formed through everyday faithfulness, not just mountaintop moments.Silence Creates Space Intentional silence and solitude help us hear God's voice amid life's constant noise.Start Small Lasting transformation begins with manageable habits that fit naturally into your current season of life.Missional ChallengesPractice Two Minutes of Silence Spend two uninterrupted minutes each day simply acknowledging God's presence.Attach a Spiritual Habit Connect one new spiritual practice—such as gratitude or prayer—to an existing daily routine like showering, driving, or making coffee.Look for God Today Before ending your day, identify one ordinary moment where you saw evidence of God's presence.Suggested Chapters00:00 Welcome & Introducing Mike Blackaby01:00 Why Experiencing God in Everyday Life Was Written06:30 Why We Miss God in Ordinary Moments15:00 Spiritual Rhythms That Build Lasting Faith18:00 The Power of Silence and Solitude26:00 Building Habits That Actually Stick32:00 Why Valleys Matter More Than Mountaintops40:00 Consistency Over Spiritual Highs44:00 Mike's Personal Spiritual Rhythms50:30 Where to Find the Book51:30 Fun Questions & Family Traditions56:00 Gardening, Rest, and Healthy Rhythms59:00 Final Encouragement & Closing10 Hashtags#themissionallife #themissionallifepodcast #ExperiencingGod #MikeBlackaby #ChristianLiving #Discipleship #FaithJourney #SpiritualGrowth #DailyFaith #JesusLinksBlackaby Ministries on FacebookBlackaby Ministries on YouTubeBuy The Book on AmazonBuy the book from Blackaby store____________________________________________________________________________________________>>>CLICK HERE to get your FREE 31 DAY MISSIONAL DEVOTIONALand to learn more about 'The Missional Life' ministry

Human Design has a lot to say about identity work, and about why the "picture your future self and attach to the vision" advice quietly falls apart for some people and clicks instantly for others. In this episode, Nicole starts with a client who watched a friend get real results from a carefully built five-year vision, tried to walk the same steps, and couldn't make herself feel any of it. The conclusion she jumped to is the one most of us jump to. Something must be wrong with me. There isn't. What's actually happening is the trap of watching someone's results, copying their exact process, and blaming yourself when it won't take. We all reach the same places by different roads, and the road that lit your friend up can be the precise thing that leaves you stuck. Nicole gets into the one thing in your Human Design chart that decides how this work is even supposed to go for you, and why the standard version of it can be the very reason you feel like you can't "attach" to what you want. If you've ever forced a vision and felt further from yourself instead of closer, this is the piece that explains it.  To download the FREE Shift Your Identity, Claim Your Next Level Guide and get the prompts and questions to do your identity work in alignment with your own style of Human Design: DM Nicole the word SHIFT on Instagram: @nicolelainoofficial Or download it here: nicolelaino.com/shift To book a Human Design Foundation Reading, Business/Purpose Reading, or Relationship Reading with Nicole go to https://nicolelaino.com/human-design-readings Be sure to visit nicolelaino.com/podcastlinks for all of the current links to events, freebies, and more!

The next generation of financial advisors and leaders are not asking for a job, they're asking for a future. Ray Sclafani explores why career pathing has evolved from a nice-to-have benefit into the most critical retention lever advisory firms have. Drawing on Deloitte's 2025 research showing only 6% of Gen Z and Millennials prioritize reaching a leadership position, Ray unpacks what ambition actually looks like today: growth, meaning, money, well-being, and a thoughtful pace of development.For advisory firm owners and leaders, the implications are direct. A firm with no clear development path doesn't stand still, it falls behind. This episode provides a five-part framework for building career pathways that work. Ray then shares a practical starting point: a single career conversation in the next 60 to 90 days that changes how your people feel about their future with your firm.The firms that provide honest visibility of a future worth building will retain more top talent, develop better leaders, and build more durable businesses.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy the next generation defines ambition differently and what that means for retention strategyHow to define roles with clarity and purpose so every position has a visible pathwayThe single biggest mistake firms make when building career paths and how to avoid itWhy addressing AI's role impact directly is now a core part of career developmentHow to eliminate ambiguity around partnership so people stop guessing what it meansTHE FIVE-PART CAREER PATHING FRAMEWORKDefine the Roles. Establish clear purpose, expectations, and required skills for each position. Map progression pathways for advisors (from client service associate to enterprise leader), operations (specialist to enterprise operator), and leadership (people manager to executive leader).Define the Progression. Specify what it takes to move from one role to the next: technical skills, client relationship management, leadership capabilities, business development expectations, decision rights, and cultural behaviors. Specificity builds trust.Connect to Actual Development. Attach real development objectives to each progression step. Identify specific competencies that need improvement, not vague hopes. The manager's job is connecting today's work to tomorrow's opportunity.Address AI's Impact. Clarify which skills become more valuable (empathy, judgment, planning, decision making, communication, relationship leadership) and commit to training people to use AI responsibly. Don't let people wonder alone.Make Ownership Expectations Clear. Define passages to partnership, distinguish between producing and nonproducing partners, clarify income versus equity partnership, and spell out what business development, client retention, leadership, and enterprise thinking mean for ownership.REFLECTION QUESTIONS FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TEAMCan every high potential employee at your firm see a future worth working toward?Where are career paths clearly defined, and where are they implied but not yet documented?Which roles will AI reshape first? And how are you preparing your team for that shift?Who needs a development conversation before they start taking calls from another firm?RESOURCES MENTIONEDDeloitte 2025 Gen Z and Millennial SurveySchwab 2025 Career Pathing ResearchCFP Board Career Pathway ResourcesClientWise Business Builders Academy™ClientWise Executive Coaching and Team DevelopmentBuilding the Billion Dollar Business is hosted by Ray Sclafani, founder and CEO of ClientWise, the financial services industry's leading executive coaching and team development firm for elite advisors and wealth management teams.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeBuilding The Billion Dollar Business

The man who wrote the book on election integrity is fired up — and he's not mincing words. Former Virginia Attorney General and Election Transparency Initiative National Chair Ken Cuccinelli joins Marc Cox and Kim St. Onge with a battle plan that John Thune doesn't want to hear: attach the SAVE Act to FISA and force every senator to go on record in front of the 90% of Americans who support voter ID. Thune says it can't be done — Cuccinelli says that's a lie, and he explains exactly how the House Freedom Caucus can make it happen. Then the conversation turns to California, where a 24,000 ballot drop somehow produced zero votes for one major candidate, a homeless woman was paid two dollars to sign a ballot, and the state refuses to share its voter rolls with anyone. Cuccinelli calls it exactly what it is — a system built to absorb cheating. If you care about free and fair elections, this is the most important conversation happening in conservative media today. Don't miss it on the Marc Cox Morning Show.

FaZe ZooMaa, Attach, Octane, Benj, and Parasite break down the Call of Duty league matches from the Minor Tournament 6/7/2026!

from bigfinish website The Big Finish Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trip Opportunity honours the memory of our much-loved colleague and friend, a stalwart of the Big Finish production office who passed away suddenly on 8 May 2014. We're searching for an emerging talent to write a Doctor Who short story that will be released as an audiobook at Christmas – and this year, the topic is "The First Doctor". The competition runs for five weeks, starting today and closing in the middle of June. Commemorating Paul Big Finish's Executive Producer Nicholas Briggs said: "It's always a special time to remember our dear friend Paul. It's particularly exciting for me this year as we're focussing on the First Doctor, who has been something of a passion of mine recently. Can't wait to read the story submissions for this!" The First Doctor Range producer Peter Anghelides said: "In the ten years since we launched this memorial competition, we've never had a winning story featuring the First Doctor. This is the year we're changing that. "We want to read your proposal for a standalone Short Trip with a brand new idea that showcases him in a short story for a single reader that we'll publish at the end of this year. "Your story will be inspired by the character of the First Doctor as we saw him on TV. It's an era when each story naturally offered a new perspective on the continuing series – so we want your proposal to demonstrate that kind of originality and inventiveness. What fresh characters, adversaries, locations, concepts and perspectives can you devise for a compelling short story?" In addition to naming a winner, Big Finish will also identify a shortlist of commendations. "In recent competitions, the standard of entries has been wonderful," said Peter Anghelides. "Although we will have only one winner, we thought it appropriate this year to name and commend other strong contenders." Before you enter the competition, please carefully read the 2026 guidelines below and the accompanying terms and conditions on the Big Finish website. They contain important information that explains eligibility, theme, word count, deadline, and how to submit your story idea. We look forward to reading your entries. Good luck! Helpful advice from previous winners You can get a feeling for what a successful competition entry looks like by checking out the previous ten winners. Recordings of each are available on the Big Finish website as free downloads, along with the final script and the original winning submissions from each year. The Paul Spragg Memorial Short Trip Opportunity 2026 Guidelines The competition is to identify talent, enthusiasm, and ability to write to a specification – so everything you need to know is in these guidelines and the accompanying terms and conditions. Please note that no correspondence will be entered into, either during the entry period or afterwards, and the judges' decision is final. Entry into this competition requires that you have read and accepted the full terms and conditions. By entering, you indicate that you have done so. SUBMISSION PROCESS: All entries must be submitted electronically to competitions@bigfinish.com, either as a Word-compatible document or a PDF document, formatted as per these guidelines, and received by Big Finish before 23:59 (UK time) on Thursday 11 June 2026. YOUR EMAIL MESSAGE: Include the entrant's full name and a contact email address only in the body of your email. Include your title (e.g. Attack of the Glurgs) in the Subject line. Don't include any details of your background or previous writing experience – your submission should speak for itself. Attach your anonymised entry document to the email. THE ATTACHED DOCUMENT: The document must consist of two parts in a single document: a one page synopsis that is no more than 500 words, and a one-page excerpt from your story of a further 500 words maximum (prose, not drama script). This is to give an indication of the writer's ability and intentions for a 4,500-word story, which can change if the full story is commissioned. These word count limits for the synopsis and extract are a strict requirement this year. Name the attached file only with your story title (e.g. Attack of the Glurgs.PDF) Do NOT include personally identifying details in your document (for example, name or email address), or the entry will be disqualified. THEME AND CONTENT: Submissions should propose a short story featuring the First Doctor and set at any time in the universe of the Doctor Who television series between An Unearthly Child and The Tenth Planet. THINGS YOU MAY DO: You may use any of the First Doctor's regular companions (or none of them) as they appeared in TV episodes: Susan, Ian, Barbara, Vicki, Steven, Katarina, Dodo, Ben and Polly. Your story should feature the character of the First Doctor as we saw him on TV. We want your proposal to wow us with its originality and inventiveness. So what fresh characters, adversaries, locations, concepts and perspectives can you devise for a compelling short story? THINGS TO AVOID: Do NOT create a new companion for the Doctor, nor use other companions from TV or elsewhere. Do NOT include other Doctors or Time Lords. Do NOT include any established creatures (e.g. Voord, Sensorites, etc.) or established characters (e.g. Mavic Chen, the Toymaker, etc.) or established Doctor Who organisations (e.g. Coal Hill School, Space Security Service, etc.). Do NOT base any fictional characters on any real living person; you may include real historical people as characters, so long as they lived and died before the year 1900. EXAMPLES: If you've never heard a Doctor Who Short Trips story before, we recommend that you listen to some examples, to get a sense of how they sound and what can be done in the format. Each of the previous winning stories is available as a free download. When you add them to your Big Finish account, you also unlock bonus content that includes downloads of the original winning submissions and the final studio scripts. 2016: Forever Fallen by Joshua Wanisko (Seventh Doctor) 2017: Landbound by Selim Ulug (Third Doctor) 2018: The Last Day at Work by Harry Draper (Second Doctor) 2019: The Best Laid Plans by Ben Tedds (Twelfth Doctor) 2020: Free Speech by Eugenie Pusenjak (Tenth Doctor) 2021: The Lichyrwick Abomination by Joe Vevers (Ninth Doctor) 2022: The World Tree by Nick Slawicz (Eleventh Doctor) 2023: The Hoxteth Time Capsule by Paul Davis (Sixth Doctor) 2024: War Stories by Patrick Ross (Twelfth Doctor) 2025: The Wednesday that Wasn't by Luke Hollands (Thirteenth Doctor)
