Three Absolute Principles of Time Management And Productivity.

What are the time-tested principles of better time management and productivity? That's what I'm exploring in this week's episode.    You can subscribe to this podcast on: Podbean | Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Spotify | TUNEIN Links:   Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   The Ultimate Productivity Workshop  Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived Take The NEW COD Course The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 337 Hello, and welcome to episode 337 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. If you have read books on time management and productivity, you may have picked up that there are a few basic principles that never seem to change.  Things like writing everything down, not relying on your head to remember things, planning your day and week, and writing out what is important to you.  These are solid principles that have remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The tools we use may have changed, but these principles have not and never will.  What is surprising are the attempts to reinvent time management. New apps and systems seem to come out every month claiming to be “game-changing”—I hate that phrase—or more ways to defy the laws of time and physics and somehow create more time in the day than is possible.  Hyrum Smith, the creator of the Franklin Planner, an icon of time management and productivity, always said that time management principles have not changed in over 6,000 years. What has changed is the speed at which we try to do things.  Technology hasn't changed these time management principles; all technology has done is make doing things faster.  Today, I can send an email to the other side of the world, and it will arrive instantly. Two hundred years ago, I would have had to write a letter, go to the post office to purchase a stamp, and send it. It would arrive two or three months later.  Funnily enough, I read a book called The Man With The Golden Typewriter. It's a book of letters Ian Fleming sent to his readers and publisher. He often began his letters with the words “Thank you for your letter of the 14th of February,” yet the date of his reply was in April.  Not only were things slower fifty years ago, people were more patient.  So, with all that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Lisa. Lisa asks, Hi Carl, I've noticed you've been talking about basic principles of productivity recently. Are there any principles you follow that have not changed? Hi Lisa, thank you for your question. The answer is yes, there are. Yet, it took me a long time to realise the importance of these principles.  The first one, which many people try to avoid, is establishing what is important to you. This is what I call doing the backend work.  You see, if you don't know what is important to you, your days will be driven by the latest urgent thing. That's likely to come from other people and not from you.  Stephen Covey wrote about this in his Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, with his Time Management Matrix, also called the Eisenhower Matrix. This matrix is divided into Important and urgent, important and not urgent, urgent and not important, and not urgent and not important.  The goal of this matrix is to spend as much time as possible in the second quadrant—the important but not urgent. This area includes things like getting enough sleep, planning, exercising, and taking preventative action.  The more time you spend here, the less time you will spend in the urgent and important and urgent and not important areas.  Yet, unless you know what is important to you, the only thing driving your day will be the things that are important to others. That includes your company, your friends and family. They will be making demands on you, and as you have no barriers, their crises will become yours. You, in effect, become part of the problem instead of being part of the solution.  When you have your life together, you can offer calm, considered solutions to those you care about. You also know when to get involved and when to stay well away.  Yet, you can only do that when you know what is important to you.  Many authors and time management specialists refer to establishing what is important to you in different ways; Hyrum Smith calls this establishing your governing values, Stephen Covey calls it knowing your roles, and I call them your areas of focus.  These are just names for essentially the same thing. Get to know what is important to you as an individual. Then, write them down in a place where you can refer back to them regularly so you know that your days, weeks, and months are living according to the principles that are important to you.  It's these that give you the power to say no to things that conflict with your values.  Without knowing what they are, you will say yes to many things you don't enjoy or want to do.  The next principle is to plan your week and day. Again, this is another area so many people avoid. I remember hearing a statistic that less than 5% of Getting Things Done practitioners do any weekly review.  If you've read Getting Things Done by David Allen, you'll know that he stresses the importance of the weekly review in almost every chapter.  People who don't plan are often driven by the fear of what they might learn, such as a forgotten project deadline, an important meeting that needs a lot of preparation, or a lost opportunity.  Yet, these are the results of not planning. If you were to give yourself thirty minutes at the end of the week to plan the next week and five to ten minutes each evening to plan the next day, many of the things you fear will never happen. You will be alerted to the issues well before you need to act.  For me, consistently planning my week and day has been life-changing. This simple activity has ensured I am working on the right things, dealing with the most important things, and ending the week knowing that the right things were completed.  Prior to becoming consistent with my planning, I was all over the place. I spent far too much time on the unimportant and saying yes to many things I didn't want to do. I was also procrastinating A LOT.  A huge benefit of planning is that you get to see data. In other words, you learn very quickly what is possible and what is not. When you begin planning the week, you will be overambitious and try to do too much. The more you plan, the more you learn what can be done.  No, you won't be able to attend six hours of meetings, write a report, reply to 150 emails, go to the gym and spend quality time with your family.  When you know what is important, you will ensure you have time for it because you plan for it (can you see the connection?). You will start to say no to some meetings (and yes, you can say no by offering an alternative day and time for the meeting) and renegotiate report deadlines.  A third principle is to manage your time ruthlessly. By that, I mean being very strict about what goes on your calendar. Never, ever let anyone else schedule meetings or appointments for you.  Your calendar is the one tool you have that gives you control over your day. Allowing other people to control it essentially turns you into a puppet. No, never ever let that happen.  Now, before Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar, we carried our own diaries around with us. No one else could have control of it. If you were fortunate enough to have a secretary (now called an “executive assistant”), you would meet with her (secretaries were largely female in the 60s, 70s and 80s) each week and explain when you were and were not available.  Your secretary would then gate keep your calendar. The best secretaries were pretty much impossible to get past. They protected their boss's time.  People knew that time was important and for anyone to do their work, they needed undisturbed time. Your calendar was respected.  A person's diary was so important that the courts would accept it as evidence they were in a particular location. I doubt very much they would do that today.  A mistake is to say yes to a time commitment too quickly. This is how we get conflicts in our calendars. You cannot be in two places at the same time—that's another law of physics—so you either say no and offer an alternative date, or you have to waste time renegotiating with someone later.  I am shocked at how often I see conflicts on people's calendars. Clearing these up should be the first thing you do during your weekly planning.  Information you need to know about the day should go in the all-day section of your calendar, not in the timed area. Only committed timed events go in the time area of your calendar.  When your calendar truly reflects your commitments, you can then set about planning a realistic day. If you have six hours of meetings and thirty tasks to complete, you will know instantly that you have an impossible day, and you can either move some of your appointments or reduce your task list.  Ignoring it only diminishes the power of your calendar, leaving you again at the mercy of other people's crises and issues.  This is about being strict about your time. Wake up and go to bed at the same time each day so you have solid bookends to your day. Ensure you protect time for your important work and your family and friends. And never let other people steal your time.  The final principle is the tool you use won't make you more productive or better at time management. Tools come and go. In the 1980s, it was the Filofax. In the 90s, it was the Franklin Planner. Today is the latest fashionable app. It doesn't matter. None of them will ever make you more productive.  What will make you more productive is knowing what is important to you. Having a plan for the day and week so you know what must be accomplished that day, and week. And being in complete control of your calendar.  Get those three things right, and you will feel less stressed, more in control of your life and have a sense of purpose each day. Isn't that what we all want?  I hope that has helped, Lisa. Thank you for your question.  And thank you to you, too, for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.

This is part two of Neil sharing his organisational strategies and insights for running a successful tutoring business as well as his love for a Filofax! Neil emphasises the importance of doing a brain dump to get all thoughts and tasks out of your head and onto paper. He then explains his process of sorting tasks based on importance, urgency, and consequence. Neil also highlights the significance of setting long-term goals and breaking them down into smaller, manageable chunks. He encourages listeners to schedule their tasks and activities in a diary, allowing for better time management and control over their daily lives.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Writing everything down on paper can greatly reduce the chances of missing important information or forgetting tasks. Using a physical planner, like a Filofax, allows for easy visibility and quick reference. Setting goals is crucial for success. By having clear goals and constantly thinking about them, our brains become more attuned to opportunities that will help us achieve those goals. Break down long-term goals into smaller, more manageable chunks. This helps to create milestones and progress along the way. Setting one-year goals that align with the larger goals can provide a sense of direction and focus. Use a monthly planning session to set specific goals for the upcoming month. Break these goals down into weekly tasks and allocate time in your schedule to work on them. This helps to ensure that important tasks are prioritized and completed. Delegate tasks that you don't want to do, can't do, or are not the best use of your time. Learning to delegate effectively can free up time for more important and strategic activities. BEST MOMENTS "I call myself an organized idiot. So let's look inside the file of facts and see how I get organised because that's really not my nature."  "If it's written down on paper right in front of you and you see it at a glance… the chances of me and you missing something or forgetting a vital piece of information is hugely reduced."  "Set your goals big… Write them down. Get some detail on it. Describe where you want to be, who you want to be with, what you're doing. Think about what it tastes, smells like, feels like."  "If you start every day with no semblance of a plan, the chances of you achieving success are basically the zip."  "This system works for me… It keeps my inner idiot in order and takes care of the most important things first by just setting blocks of time aside so I can actually get those things done."  www.Neilcowmeadow.com info@neilcowmeadow.com  Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years' experience in the business of helping people.

Neil discusses the value of writing things down and the power of having a plan. He shares his personal experience of using a Filofax, a physical planner, to organise his life and stay productive. Neil emphasises the benefits of writing longhand and how it activates the brain, aids memory retention, and accelerates learning. He questions the trend of relying on laptops in education when research shows the effectiveness of pen and paper. Neil encourages listeners to design their lives through planning and shares his own process of visualising and writing down what constitutes a good day for him.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The use of a physical planner, such as a Filofax, can be beneficial for organization and productivity. Despite the prevalence of digital calendars, having a tangible planner allows for easier access and avoids technological issues. Writing things down by hand activates more of the brain and aids in learning, idea generation, and memory retention. This is supported by research and suggests that using pen and paper is more effective than relying solely on laptops or digital devices. Planning ahead and creating a daily, weekly, or monthly schedule can reduce stress and increase productivity. By visualizing and writing down what a successful day would look like, individuals can better prioritize tasks and focus on what is most important. Luck is not simply a matter of chance, but rather the result of preparation meeting opportunity. By designing and following a plan, individuals can create their own luck and increase their chances of success. The act of writing, reviewing, and acting on what is written can have a transformative effect on one's life. By consistently following a plan and taking action, individuals can see their goals and aspirations come to fruition. BEST MOMENTS "I love working on paper, it keeps me sane, it keeps me grounded, stops me forgetting things."  "The act of writing longhand, with a pen no less, activates more of the brain and accelerates learning."  "Memorisation is not education. Not by a long chalk."  "Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity."  "The magic isn't in the branding or that lovely leather binder. It's in the act of writing, longhand, then reviewing and acting on what you've written day after day."  VALUABLE RESOURCESwww.Neilcowmeadow.comCONTACT DETAILSinfo@neilcowmeadow.com ABOUT THE HOSTNeil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years' experience in the business of helping people.

(Sign up at tonyfletcher.substack.com to receive this podcast interview in unedited form.)James Brown and Mark Hodkinson both hail from the Pennine District in Northern England. Both ran fanzines in the 1980s (Attack on Bzag and Untermensch). Both stayed in publishing. Both now have successful memoirs out about their lives in the world of words.Beyond that, their paths have been different. James left Leeds for London, and after 10 successful issues of his fanzine, joined the NME. He then founded Loaded, which was selling 350,000 copies by the time he went to edit GQ after 36 issues. He's written about this - plus his addictions to alcohol and drugs and his subsequent recovery - in his memoir Animal House. Mark stayed in Rochdale, and started a small imprint called Pomona, which published books by people such as Bill Nelson, Barry Hines and Bob Stanley; in his memoir No One Round Here Reads Tolstoy, he explains how a boy who grew up in a house with one book ended up with 3500. Both memoirs are now out in paperback.In this conversation with host Tony Fletcher, the three of them discuss:Leaving home vs. staying putWhy Untermensch was a revolt against RochdaleThe joys of selling fanzines at gigs - or not.1980s fanzine culture with references to The End, Cool Notes, Idiot Stregth, Furious Apache, Raygun, New Youth, KvatchHow James could even sell a fanzine to a working policemanThe night that James, along with former podcast guest Richard Edwards, raided Tony's Filofax for famous people's numbersHow Loaded was James' ultimate fanzineWhy Pomona was a critical success but rarely a commercial oneHow Attack on Bzag got it wrong about The SmithsJames Brown is on Instagram and Facebook.Mark Hodkinson is on Facebook.

Brought to you by Secureframe automated security and privacy compliance platform, Eight Sleep's Pod Cover sleeping solution for dynamic cooling and heating, and Wealthfront high-yield savings account.Richard Koch (@RichardKoch8020) is an entrepreneur, investor, former strategy consultant, and author of several books on business and ideas, including four on how to apply the 80/20 principle in all walks of life.His investments have grown at 22 percent compounded annually over 37 years and have included Filofax, Plymouth Gin, Belgo, Betfair, FanDuel, and Auto1. He has worked for Boston Consulting Group and was a partner at Bain & Co. before joining Jim Lawrence and Iain Evans to start LEK, which expanded from three to 350 professionals during the six years Richard was there.In 1997, Richard's book The 80/20 Principle reinterpreted the Pareto Rule—which states that most results come from a small minority of causes—and extended it beyond its well-known application in business into personal life, happiness, and success. The book, rewritten in 2022, has sold more than a million copies, been translated into roughly 40 languages, and has become a business classic. It was named by GQ as one of the top 25 business books of all time. Richard's latest book is Unreasonable Success and How to Achieve It. He has two upcoming books: 80/20 Beliefs, which identifies the very few beliefs in our lives that strongly influence what we do, and, therefore, the results we get, as well as 80/20 Daily, a collection of 365 short daily readings using the 80/20 philosophy to achieve the good life.Please enjoy!*This episode is brought to you by Secureframe!

You feel like you are running furiously, yet stay in the same place. Perhaps your results are not growing proportionately to the additional work you put in.The 80/20 Principle is the idea that 80 percent of all our results in business and life stem from 20 percent of our efforts. The 80/20 principle argues that little of what we spend our time on actually counts. By focusing on the aspects that matter, we can unlock the enormous potential of the magic 20 percent. With the 80/20 Principle, you can elevate your effectiveness in your job, career, business, and life.“Probability theory tells us that it is virtually impossible for all the applications of the 80/20 Principle to occur randomly, as a freak of chance. We can only explain the principle by positing some deeper meaning or cause that lurks behind it.” - Richard KochThe 80/20 Principle places a strong emphasis on the importance of prioritization in achieving peak results.

Practitioners of this principle are reflective, unconventional, hedonistic, strategic, and nonlinear. To think in this way, adopt an extreme form of ambition to want to change everything for the better. However, this approach should not descend into arrogance.

For some reason, in 1990 they remade the terrible film The Couch Trip.  Remember that movie we watched and didn't like starring Dan Aykroyd where he switched places with Charles Grodin and priest suits were involved?  Well, they did it again just a few years later with Jim Belushi taking over Grodin's life and they called it Taking Care Of Business.  We had high hopes for this one.  I mean, the poster has Belushi riding atop an automobile so how could that be a bad movie?  Turns out it's a big old turd of a movie.  Belushi breaks out of prison, steals Grodin's Filofax and uses his identity to bone a lady and see the Cubs win the World Series.  He does at one point pull a Mrs. Doubtfire to break back into prison (upsetting the evil warden played by, of course, Hector Elizondo) but that's not enough to save this movie where everything and anything will work out for our hero no matter how clueless he acts.  Enjoy!Full archive of all podcast episodes available at saturdaynightjive.blogspot.comEmail us anything at saturdaynightjivepodcast@gmail.comDownload Here

Born in Holland, our memory maker soon saw that the world was a great opportunity, offering the flexibility to come and go while learning about new cultures and places. Travel, early on, was part of her DNA. Kristie Goshow recalls her time on Zandvoort Beach collecting bottles where she met her lifelong friend, connecting across languages.See her photos in episode artwork, or click here:Kristie reflects on how travel gives a thirst for knowledge and curiosity; “If one can be exposed to new places, or see people go and come back - it takes away any fear of leaving your safety zone.” From graduating as a mature student in 1997, to spending 9 years living and working in Dubai, Kristie was keen to make the most of it “Life's too short, you got to make sure you have fun in everything you do.”She looks at the travel that gave her the key landmarks in her life, and fondly remembers the importance of her filofax, red mini cooper and her piece of the Berlin wall. In Kristie's Fawlty Towers moment, find out why the bathroom curtain's came to her aid in a roadside truck drivers' B&B. Kristie lives in Orange County, California, with her husband and two children.

The highlight of today was being part of an online reunion for those who started the Relay Program in the UK 20 years ago.The virtual reunion today was incredibly moving.  It was fabulous seeing 40 plus faces on screen and listening to their stories. Just in this group we had 12 nations represented as people joined from 5 continents. We heard examples of church leadership, sustainable development, mission, business, education and entrepreneurship. These stories were inspirational in the extent of their impact and in the honesty of their struggles.Together they testify to the grace of God, the influence of a gospel lived and shared, the blessing of friends and family and perseverance born of hope.At it's birth Relay looked like it might be a moment but it has turned out to be a movement.When we started Relay I had no idea what I was really doing. It was not an organised program with a set curriculum. Relay was shaped by a few key ideas and adapted as we went along. I have a page from an old Filofax where five of these ideas are scribbled.

Do you know what leads one person to achieve success in life over another? What are the ingredients for unreasonable success and how is it achieved? Our guest this week, Mr. Richard Koch, joins us to explain. Successful people typically don't plan their success. Instead they develop a unique philosophy or attitude that works for them. They stumble across strategies which are shortcuts to success, and latch onto them. Events hand them opportunities they could not have anticipated. Often their peers with equal or greater talent fail while they succeed. It is too easy to attribute success to inherent, unstoppable genius. Bestselling author and serial entrepreneur Richard Koch charts a map of success, identifying the nine key attitudes and strategies can propel anyone to new heights of accomplishment. Richard is a former management consultant, entrepreneur, and writer of several books on how to apply the Pareto principle (80/20 rule) in all walks of life. Richard has also used his concepts to make a fortune from several private equity investments made personally. Richard's investments have included Filofax, Plymouth Gin, the Great Little Trading Company and Betfair. Learn more about Richard: https://richardkoch.net/

Welcome back to the uncurated life podcast today. I'm glad you're here because I need someone to listen to some shit. That's annoying me. My name is Cindy Guentert-Baldo welcome. If this is your first time here. And do you like what you hear then? I hope you subscribe. We've got new episodes every Monday.   And if this is not your first time here, I hope that you like what you hear and you stick around because that makes me happy quick. And before I get into the episode, I do want to let you know, in case you didn't know already that this week on the 11th, November 11th, 2021 in my Etsy shop, I will be offering a limited run of 2022 calendars, their wall calendars.   They have a mixture of. My fuckery flowers from both series, then old series series one in the new series series two. These will be limited because I can only get so many of them before I lose it. So make sure you head on over there to pick up a calendar or three, they make excellent gifts, blah, blah, blah.   But anyway, I want to make sure to remind you of that because the there'll be dropping on the. If you are on my newsletter, you will get the heads up when they go live. And if you are a patron, your access comes tomorrow, November 10th. So just make sure that if there's something that you're interested in, I don't know how quickly they're going to sell out.   I've never done this before. So you may want to keep your eye on. Anyway, let's get into this because marketing also annoys me. So I've just got a handful of things that annoy me. I told you when I did my like I'm back episode, that I wanted to both handle some spicy topics and some light-hearted topics and talk about things I love and blah, blah, blah.   Well, a combination of lighthearted and spicy is some shit that's annoying me. And I've got a whole list of things that run the. And I just thought I would let you know to see if a they annoy you and B if they don't, you can always yell at me on Instagram at llamaletters, let me know in the stories. So let's just get into it because I love talking about shit that annoys me, apparently that I wonder if there's a personality test that tells you that I don't know.   First of all, is celery juice. I am so tired of seeing on Instagram. I am tired of seeing influencers talk about it. I am tired of seeing it in YouTube videos. I'm tired of it. If you want to have a deep dive on how bunk the whole celery juice thing is now that it's bad for you. It's not, but it's not like it's magical either.   Then listen to the maintenance phase episode on celery juice. They do a great job. I'll leave at link in, the show notes. If you haven't listened to that podcast, a 10 out of 10 recommend. However, my big hatred of celery juice comes from two sort of areas. The first one being like, what the fuck is wrong with just eating celery?   Like I don't even like celery all that much. I like it in soup. I don't really like it on its own. It's too stringy for me, but. There's like a segment of people who think that you have to juice it for it to be good for you, but doesn't that just remove all the fiber? I don't get it. Secondly, a lot of the celery juice, like the people who are enchanted with it kind of use the same language around wellness culture that I find to be really toxic.   And that's going to show up later on this list, but also in some later podcasts, but a lot of it has to do with like the idea of like, Hearing your chronic illnesses and detoxifying yourself. And I'm just going to say that whenever anybody suggests some new trendy thing to cure chronic illness, especially genetic chronic illness, which is what I have, it feels remarkably abelist and it feels really like, uh, I was going to say naive, but I don't think that's the right word.   Just sorta sort of. I don't know, bogus, like fucking no, dude, I have genetic kidney disease, celery juice won't help me. And secondly, anytime somebody tells me they're doing a cleanse or drinking the juice to flux out, flush out the toxins as somebody with failing kidneys. I want to slap them because you know what flushes your toxins, your liver and your kidneys.   So if they're functioning, they're doing it for. You don't need magic juice to do that. And if you're like me and have failing kidneys, Magic juice is not going to flush my toxins. You know what? Well, dialysis, sorry. I did say this was shit that annoys me. So sorry. Celery juice, but I am, I am moving on from you.   Number two, raisins in cookies. Now I know there are some of you who love a good fucking oatmeal raisin cookie, but for me, raisins and cookies are. The most disappointing thing that can ever happen. And the reason that this is like on my mind right now is recently I got surprised the other day thinking I was going to have a delicious oatmeal chocolate chip cookie.   And it was an oatmeal raisin cookie. And I'm sorry, that is not the business. I like raisins. I have nothing against raisins, but not in cookies and raisin bran. Fuck. Yeah, leave my cookies alone. Hashtag. Number three. And this one is actually very, very much relevant to me right now, because I have had to make so many doctor's appointments for both myself and my kid because of my chronic illnesses that have already talked about.   And because my kid has some health problems, we're trying to nail down, hold music. Now I would be fine if a company had like a serious XM station or something, or some kind of. Radio station. I don't know something where the music rotates, but when it's the same song over and over and over and over and over and over again.   And you're on hold for like eleventy million years. It's it makes my brains leak out my ears, like an ice pick to my temple and it's awful. And like, I understand that that's probably less expensive for a company than doing like a radio station, but dear God, dear. Oh. Oh, my God, I just can't. I can't it's it's grading.   Thankfully, at least one of the people that I had to call had the option for you to save your place in line and hang up and they'd call you back. And as much as I hate my phone and ignore it, I tried that and it actually worked. Most of the time I haven't trusted it, but I did try it and it worked. So I may go with that because that might save me from turning into Jack Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's the shining and having all work and no play makes Cindy adult boy, number four, I wrote this out and then the day I wrote this out, it was wrong.   So I'm still gonna tell you it, but. I was kind of shown up by it. And that is that they made the strawberry SAE refreshers at Starbucks seasonal. I have fallen for that with extra water and extra ice because it's too sweet for me. And then they disappeared because it was seasonal, but I don't think it's seasonal now.   I think it might just have been because of supply shortages because they came back. So I don't know. So that may not be accurate. So right now I'm annoyed by the fact that I was wrong.   Next is my seasonal allergies. I thought they would disappear when I removed, when I moved to Denver, because I never had them until I moved to Napa. And Napa is a micro climate and it is known among locals that when you move to Napa, you tend to get allergies, even if you never had them before. And like, everybody I know in Napa would have like the most miserable seasonal allergy situations.   I thought I would be rid of them when I moved, but apparently Napa just like imprinted them on me because I got to Denver and I still have them and it fucking sucks. And I just, I, it annoys me and this is a, should I annoys me? That annoys me podcast. I'm just saying. The fact that my Claritin only takes the edge off.   And the fact that anytime you sneeze or have a runny nose right now in the age of COVID, that everybody looks at you, like you're carrying the plague. And it's like, dude, I have fucking allergies. Like it just it's, it's one of those little things that like, I hated I've always hated, but with COVID it has just gotten more annoying and sure.   It's not as annoying as having COVID, but like, this is annoying shit. This is not catastrophic shit. Right. Speaking of COVID. The next thing that's annoying me is that I bought one of those home COVID tests because one of my kids had some symptoms after somebody at school had gotten exposed and I gave them the test and the test was negative and I was supposed to give them another test in 36 hours.   And I couldn't find it. This annoys me. I still can't find half of the shit in my house because we just moved and I put some stuff away. And now I don't know where anything is. And I know that that will be solved when I start organizing. And now that we live in a bigger house, there's just so many more places for shit to be.   I spent way longer than I needed to looking for the broom the other day, because we have too many closets and I know it's a first world problem, but like it's fucking annoying and referencing that I also can't find my AirPods and I really want them and could use them. I've been doing a lot of things recently where it would have been helpful to have my.   And I don't want to replace them because they're expensive. And on top of that, like I know that the moment I replaced them, they're going to come out with new ones. It's just, I have them there. They work perfectly fine and I just cannot figure out where the fuck they are. And I'm really annoyed by that on a completely unrelated note.   I am very annoyed by my new potassium. So as people who. I have chronic illness or people who take a lot of medications can probably understand. One of the things that can get really annoying is when you've been taking a medication for a long time, and then you change pharmacies or you change healthcare systems, or you change something and the brand manufacturer of your medication.   Especially if you're on generics and so like a different generic company, because there's all sorts of companies that make some of these medications, especially the ones that have lots of generics. I'm not talking about insulin because insulin doesn't have generics. And that's an entire thing that goes beyond annoyance into white, hot rage as this wife of a type one diabetic says, but for me, my potassium.   Has changed. I just, when I made, made the move, we swapped from the Kaiser system to a different healthcare system. And now I'm getting my prescriptions filled at Walgreens and the brand or the generic brand that is making my potassium is different. And for some reason, this new potassium, my gigantic fucking potassium pills that have take three times a day melt in my mouth.   Not in my hand, they start to dissolve the moment they hit my mouth. They kind of crumble when I dropped them into my pill minder, so that there's already little bits of potassium to dissolve into my mouth. And it is bitter and terrible. And I have chronically low potassium, which is really strange for someone in kidney failure.   Like I am, but because of that, I have to take, I have to eat Tassie and rich foods and take hella potassium. And the real thing that makes me sad is that the options that I have. To swap to, instead of this melt in your mouth, not in your hands, potassium are like infusions, which according to my sister, feel like molten lava in your veins or the liquid, which is even gnarlier.   So I'm stuck with it. And it's really goddamn annoying, especially since those pills are so big. I gag on them every time I swallow them and I have to do it three times a day. I am lucky that I haven't barfed on myself. Well, because of that, I have barfed on myself recently. That's an entirely different story.   Number nine is something that has been annoying me for a long time. And I am sort of subjecting myself to it and it still annoys me, but it's my fault because I'm subjecting myself to it. And that is discs for planners. It's helpful to have the disks for my work planner. I can take pages out and write on them.   It's cuter than. Using, um, a three ring binder and I wanted letter sized paper and having like a Filofax type situation for that size. It's harder to find. I love the cover. I love everything about my work planner, but the discs are really pissing me off because even though they're helpful for removing things and whatnot, random shit keeps popping off.   And every time it happens, I curse myself for putting myself in this situation because this is why I don't like this. But I'm gonna keep using them. And so I probably should shut up about it, but this is my podcast. I'm going to do what I want. Right. Number 10, back to the barfing. Nausea is getting worse and worse for me.   It happens when you get further into kidney disease. My sister warned me to keep a extra trashcan with a roll of bags in it, near the toilet for all of those times when it takes you over. And I wish I had known that. After I puked all over myself, I'll make sure to link the plan with me where I tell that story.   If you're really interested in it in the show notes, however, my nausea is getting worse and worse and the Zofran has stopped completely helping and instead just taking the edge off. And I know it's just going to get worse until I get a transplant. I hate being nauseous. You guys, I hate it so much.   Number 11 trader Joe's is discontinuing their curtains from what I was told when I was there the other day. And I just decided I liked them. So I'm bummed. I know this is like the most white girl thing to say about my trader Joe's product. That was discontinued. Trust me. I worked there for 12 years. I had to hear it all, but dammit, this crew Johns are good.   And then finally, the thing that's annoying me the most in the preview. If it's something you're interested in, please let me know in the stories at Lama letters. If you want to make episodes on it, because I'm really thinking about doing it. And that is talking about toxic wellness culture and deprogramming myself from some diet culture.   I have a kid who is dealing with some disordered eating right now, and it is really causing me to take a look at some of the things that I do. And it's annoying the shit out of me. And more than annoying me that I haven't set a better example. But on top of that, I've had some comments over the years, but recently I've had a few more of people being very well intentioned, but completely dismissing my experience as somebody with chronic illness.   And it's just making me more and more annoyed to the point of rage about toxic wellness culture. So if you are interested in hearing a podcast about that, please. Anyway, those are some things that I, that annoy me. I know this is not the most positive episode, but fucks shut. Sometimes shit annoys you. And sometimes you want to get off your chest and sometimes you get surprised by raisins and cookies, and sometimes you puke on yourself and we got to talk about those things.   If you want to share with me something just random, that's been annoying you lately. Let me know in the Instagram stories, just post at llamaletters and tell me about it because I'm curious to see, but the random shit that's annoying. You. Because it's fun for me. Don't forget to check out the Etsy shop on the 11th.   If you're interested in calendars and don't forget to thank my patrons. If you ever see one bop and about because they make these episodes possible. So thank you, patrons, www.patreon.com/cindyguentertbaldo. If you would like to find out more, you know, who doesn't annoy me, you all, and I'm glad that you're here.   So thanks for hanging out next week. I won't be quite as annoyed potential. But until next time, until that next annoying or not annoying time, stay safe because it'll annoy me. If you're not safe and peace out.

I am your host; I am Wendy Harris and today I am joined in the studio by Peter Howard from PHd Design.  We've known each other for a very long and time I must just explain very quickly that you might hear a dog wagging their tail because my Maud knows you very well and has recognised your voice; and does normally sit down very calm and quietly but I think she's missing her Peter love. Peter Howard: Bless her cotton socks.  I can put up with a little bit of tail wag whooshing. Wendy Harris: That's great, thank you.  Peter, please introduce yourself.  Tell us a little bit about who you are and what you do. Peter Howard: My name's Peter Howard and for my sins I am Head of Blame at PHd Design.  Thankfully that role is not that busy because we don't very often get things wrong.  So, PHd Design we've been going since 1992, good Lord, and we an award-winning graphic design branding and design company.  We've got two international awards, a couple of regional awards, we've been a member of the Chamber of Commerce since we started, and we're also now independently ranked in the top 100 design companies in the UK. Wendy Harris: That's a fantastic accolade to have, isn't it?  Am I right in thinking that we brag about that as being the only design agency in Staffordshire that has ever got that accolade with Design Week? Peter Howard: Spot on, the only one in Staffordshire.  There's only three in the Midlands, the other two are in Birmingham and they're all infinitely bigger than we are, and they do a lot of other things apart from what we do.  But we're a specialist and we're very proud of that, because it is independent as well which is wonderful. Wendy Harris: I've known for what 10, 11 years, I think? Peter Howard: Yeah, something like that.  I have got older, I've got more bags under my eyes, a few more crow's feet but hopefully the passion hasn't changed and the ability to cut through the normal, shall we say noise? Wendy Harris: I think you are right there, Pete, because it's a very family feel in the studio.  There's that sort of relaxed approach because you know what you're doing.  When I hear you talking to clients you know what you're talking about so it's about getting them to relax as well; to tell you what they need for you to be able to show them what you can do. Peter Howard: It's absolutely true.  Strangely enough, because of all this Covid times and we're all working remotely and then we came back to the studio and now it's all working remotely again, blah, blah, we've adapted, and I think the phrase is "pivoted" so that we can all work from home remotely and access all the bits and bobs at work. Wendy Harris: I like "pirouette" better. Peter Howard: Sounds much more pleasant that does, definitely.  You wouldn't want to be seeing me do a pirouette though trust me. Wendy Harris: No, you don't want to see my knees. Peter Howard: Yeah, my wife said to me the other day, she happened to be at the office here at home.  She said, "You actually came across really well there", and that was quite a nice thing for me to hear.  She doesn't normally witness what I do for a living.  So, she happened to be in whilst I was talking to a client about a presentation of what they needed.  She said, "You came across really well because you got your personality across and the passion and the real desire to dig to the heart of what their challenge was and then solve it for them".  Ultimately that is what every client wants.  They want somebody to bother to understand it, and then offer a solution that recognises what the challenge is that they can see it and go, "Oh yeah, I get what that is now". Wendy Harris: For me it's like digging for gold, isn't it, and finding the seam.  So, a lot of clients will know themselves what that gold looks like and feels like, but then explaining that gold and how it can work for them can be really challenging either through conversation, through communication, through a lot of the things that you produce in the studio.  I'm really chuffed I get loads and loads of comments about my branding and that's thanks to you guys.  It's made such a massive difference because people recognise who I am straight away, just from an image. Peter Howard: It's amazing how much of a difference that can make.  It's wonderful for you to say that thank you very much, it means a lot, but it is absolutely bang on.  The funny thing is, is that we can't help, as human beings, we can't help make a first impression.  If you walk into a room, if you walk past a bookstand at an airport, if you're out on the pull, and this is a strange analogy, but we always make a decision with our eyes first.  If you're at a restaurant and the food comes out, if things look good, if things look right, if things look appropriate to what you're expecting them to be, then the message goes from the eyes to the brain, the ears, the nose, the taste and this, that and the other, to tell them, "Listen, guys, we're the first barrier of defence, all looking good".  So, everybody else is a little bit more relaxes in the senses. So, if the visual is right at the start, chances are people will look a bit further and try it or test or talk to it or touch it or whatever it is to make sure that it lives up to its first impression. Wendy Harris: I was so busy listening to you then I was thinking, "Do you know, it is that every decision that we make is an emotional one". Peter Howard: God, yeah and you justify it afterwards. Wendy Harris: Yeah, we talk ourselves in or out of it afterwards as to whether it was the right decision or not, but it is that emotive process, isn't it? Peter Howard: Here's something that happened to me a few years ago, this is just to bear that out.  I was looking to buy a different car.  The old car I got was broken and it was time to put it to bed, so to speak.  I went looking for a car, and I thought, "I'll get a lease deal and this, that and the other", and I found an Audi A4.  I'm going to back to -- the year was 2003.  Found an Audi A4, and I wanted it and it was my first ever brand-new car and I just wanted it. I remember justifying it, finding lots of evidence about the miles per gallon and about the insurance premiums and what I was already paying on XYZ, just so that I could justify it to our accounts chap at work then.  I thought, "What am I doing this for?", because ultimately, I've bought it because I like the look of it and that's what I wanted. Wendy Harris: Yeah, I can have it because I can, I don't need anybody to tell me I can. Peter Howard: Mad isn't it?  But I do remember justifying it, so yeah, it was an emotional purchase, but then backed up by trying to justify it pointlessly anyway. Wendy Harris: It doesn't matter what we say, conversation is key to just about everything that we do really, isn't it?  Life, work, personal, goals. Peter Howard: I really agree with that.  This manifests itself into our world or PHd's world day in, day out.  Because we work so closely with our clients, you end up having them as friends, they end up becoming part and parcel of your life.  You can have a conversation with somebody and if they feel comfortable with you then they just start talking about all sorts of things, all sorts of things to do with their own life.  Having that ability to hold a conversation with anybody, whether it be shopfloor to boardroom, doesn't make any difference people are just people. People like to chat.  People like to have a chat with somebody who can demonstrate that they are (a) listening and (b) give a damn about what's being said to them, because so many times you'll hear or you'll see maybe, you'll come across, let's say a salesperson, and that salesperson is focused, "Get the deal, get the job".  You're having a chat with them and they're not listening.  You can almost see the words you're saying going in one ear and falling out the other one and you're thinking, "I'm not going to give you the business". Wendy Harris: It's that's scenario isn't it of, "You went on holiday, that's nice, can you sign here?"  "The weather was -- yeah, it's just there and you need to date it too".  "Yeah, so there was plenty of ice cream?".  "Yeah, okay and if you turn over that's the small print", because they just want to be out of there, don't they? Peter Howard: Our clients, they just keep coming back which is absolutely flipping wonderful.  We don't hold anybody on a retainer, I don't think we've ever done a retainer with anybody, but the simple principle is if you do a good job and you're being straight and honest and upfront about everything with somebody and you do it right, then they come back because they see the results of your labour.  You were alluding to it earlier that the work that we've done for you is getting WAG more noticed because you've now got a distinctive style. Wendy Harris: Yes. Peter Howard: If we can give that to people to make them more recognisable, more seen, more noticed, more heard, etc, by the power of design, then they've got to be ahead of their competitors.  If you can do that and be a nice person and have a chat and a laugh along the way … Wendy Harris: Yeah, I agree Pete, because I have visibility now because people recognise it.  There's a certain credibility as well because I would say it shows that I actually care about the first impression I want to make, when I show up.  It is polished, it's no longer the eye stock vintage phone, cobbled together on some free app with my logo that's 16 years old.  It just shows that I care. Peter Howard: Absolutely, and if you care then they will subliminally care because people notice that.  They subliminally notice stuff when somebody's put some effort and care and attention into it.  You can't help it; we all notice when things look ropey.  You don't necessarily notice when things look good, but you notice when they look bad.  Not many people will tell you it looks bad, but if people are noticing that you look bad then you'll see it in the drop off the figures, people will do that. Whereas if you look good, it's almost expected to be that way, so what we try and do is make sure that all of our clients look consistent.  Oddly probably the biggest and best word in what we do is that, it's consistency, because if you do it consistently then you get a brand awareness; you get a look and a feel and a style.  The trick there is to make sure it's done well, so if you do it consistent and well, that's a winner for everybody. Wendy Harris: Your design, one of the observations I would say having known you for such a long time and seeing a lot of the projects that you've worked with and -- Peter Howard: Is this going to be good or bad? Wendy Harris: No, yeah, it's good.  You're a small team and it's very much a family feel, and I think even the listeners will agree with me, when you go to a designer and an agency there's generally a very strong undercurrent of how they design, that you can tell who it is.  You can go, "Oh and that's them over there, they've done that". Peter Howard: Yeah. Wendy Harris: What I think the beauty of what you create in your studio is what the client wants to the point that we can't always tell that it's you that's done it.  PHd is invisible because it's so the client's brand. Peter Howard: It's not everybody that notices that, but that's oddly what we try and set out to achieve.  We don't necessarily want people to recognise that it's us; we want people to recognise it's the customer.  That may be born out of the fact that we've got such a diverse client base that it's wonderful.  We might be dealing with a range of beers one day or one week; and then we're doing a shirt the next week; then we might be doing a solicitor's literature the next week.  There is a novel thing, trying to make solicitor speak into the language that the customers (a) understand, and (b) give a monkey's about; that's quite a challenge. Professional services, and then we might have an automotive company and all of those are incredibly different target audiences, so you have to design it in a different way for each different project.  But because have such a wide scope it really makes it a lot easier, ironically, because we can draw on experiences, let's say, from the automotive world and put it into the drinks industry.  We can draw on stuff we've done for the FMCG market and put it into professional services, and it does help having such a wide pool of very different customers.  One thing that holds them all together though is that they do care how they look; that's the probably the thing that holds them together. Wendy Harris: Yes, and that whatever it is that you do for them speaks on their behalf.  It's not that they're suddenly trying to communicate in a different fashion either. Peter Howard: Well it's got to be appropriate to them. Wendy Harris: Yes, you can take the jargon out can't you, but it's still got to be that it sounds like them. Peter Howard: And appropriate to the market.  There's no point making a solicitor look like a cool hip and trendy TV producing company, because it wouldn't work and equally vice versa. Wendy Harris: Although I have got that going round in my head now and that's quite funny. Peter Howard: Likewise, you wouldn't expect a barrister let's say to come dressed with beads, dreadlocks and flip flops.  There's an image that you need to culture.  So, there's a window; is that the right word, or parameters that you can work within. Wendy Harris: Boundaries, I know one of my listeners will love that. Peter Howard: You try and push them because that's in nature what we try and do, but you do need to recognise that there are certain things that you think, "Nah, that's just going to float, that isn't.  That is just way too brave". Wendy Harris: A bit too out there. Peter Howard: It's knowing where they are. Wendy Harris: Yeah, absolutely.  Pete, I could talk to you all day about what you do and it's just purely because I have an invested interest in it as well, having known you for so long, but everybody on the show you can't get out of it; I ask everybody to bring a pivotal moment at that conversation that really created a turning point. Peter Howard: Do you want me just to spurt it out and talk it through? Wendy Harris: Yeah, tell us what's happened to create a pivotal moment for you? Peter Howard: Let me take you back to late 1990.  There may be some people out there thinking, "I wasn't even born then", you never know, but late 1990 I was a partner in a reasonably successful design company in Birmingham.  We'd got, I think, five staff designers and life was pretty good.  I thought I was king of Great Barr to be honest at the time, that's where I'm from.  I had a Peugeot 205 GTi with a phone in it. Wendy Harris: That's what I learned to drive in. Peter Howard: Fantastic cars. Wendy Harris: Yeah. Peter Howard: So, I was king of the hill and I thought I was superb and everything in the garden was rosy.  Me and my business partner, we invented a product, and that product has gone on to sell easily in excess of a billion units throughout the world, but however there's always a "but", we're dogged with a bit of bad luck and it culminated in a weekend down in London with the MD and owner of Chrysalis Music.  We'd got over a lot of hurdles, we'd borrowed a bit of money and ultimately, we were going to sell the rights to this product to Chrysalis Music for a global rollout.  It's a flip case, like a Filofax for CDs, so anybody who's listening, if you've got one of those like a little zip case with the sleeves you can put CDs in, it emanated from me. Wendy Harris: I've got one in the car. Peter Howard: Yeah, I've got the patent certificate at work, because we got the global patent on it.  However, come Christmas and this was December 1991, so I've come forward a year, my then business partner, who shall remain nameless, he announced to me that he was going to be going to, I think it was Gambia with his girlfriend for Christmas.  So, I thought, "Great, fine no problem".  He said, "Do you want to borrow my car over Christmas and have a little play?"  He'd got -- I think it was a reasonably new Lancia Delta HF Intergrale which is basically a Ferrari with a Lancia body on it.  It's a nutcase car, left-hand drive, evil, evil thing.  So, I thought, "That's brilliant, I'll have a little play with that", so off he went.  That was mid-late December 1991. By Christmas 1991 the world had imploded for me.  The car was repossessed, his car was repossessed, my car was repossessed; the phone obviously went with it.  My flat had to go because I couldn't afford it.  The business -- we had three businesses all of them imploded on themselves.  What I've learned out of that particular experience is that I trusted probably too much because I'd signed lots of things that I wasn't quite sure what I was signing, and it basically transpired that the whole of the three businesses were held up by prayer and faith and hope.  So, it was incredibly in debt, there was a lot of bank debt, there was a lot of personal guarantees debt, and that's quite a crucial factor of this pivotal moment. So, I hadn't realised a lot of this; so everything went, the bailiffs turned up, the business was gone.  Not quite overnight, but pretty close.  I rang my parents up, I moved back in with my parents.  I went out with some old mates from school and got incredibly drunk for a couple of nights. Wendy Harris: Ratted. Peter Howard: Absolutely twisted and it was the world's and his dog's fault.  None of it was my fault, I blamed everybody.  I was angry. Wendy Harris: Trying to just understand what had happened. Peter Howard: Absolutely, yeah.  Then after I think a couple of days after the Christmas period, I thought, "Okay, that's enough of that.  You've licked your wounds, you've been angry, you've shouted a few people and you've got it out of your system.  You've now got to recognise that you're in that horrible place, you've got a lot of debt".  There are PG debts, which I then discovered that when you've got a personal guarantee on something, whoever you owe the money to, can choose -- how many people have signed that document, they can choose whoever they want to come to for the money. So, being as my then business partner had gone abroad, I didn't see him for years, I don't know where he went but he disappeared.  Effectively, the banks, the only place that they could get any money from was me, because I had an address, and I had a postcode, and I wasn't hiding.  Ultimately, I ended up sorting the banks out and paying them off. Now, you might think, "Well, if you've got nothing how can you afford that?"  The amount of monies involved here was knocking on the door of £100,000 in total. Wendy Harris: In 1991 was a lot of money. Peter Howard: This was January 1992, so January 1992 the whole pain came out.  It is Christmas 1991/January 1992.  So, £100,000; £60,000 of it was PGs, it was a mind focuser.  So, the pivotal moment, we get to it through all this preamble, I had a decision to make in January 1992 and the decision was really simple and the only way I could do this was to think about it like a junction in a road.  I'd got to a T-junction and I could either go left or right. It was go and get a job; and if I went and got a job, which I didn't think was going to be a problem, because I felt that I was good enough to get a job, so if I was going to get a job, I'd be paying off that debt probably until now, because that was the equivalent to one-and-a-half, two houses.  Yeah, it's lot of money.  It was more than my first house which I bought six years afterwards.  So that was one choice, turn right, go and get a job pay it off the rest of your life. Turn left, try and learn how to run a business.  Try and do it and then -- Wendy Harris: I don't mean to laugh, Pete, because I know you're still trying. Peter Howard: I know, I know.  One of these days I'll work it out how the hell you're supposed to do it.  I don't know when that's going to be but -- so I thought, "How difficult can it be?"  I suppose because of blind ignorance and not having a fat lot of choice, I thought, "I'll do it".  My brain said, "If you go left and try running a business, if it fails go and get a job", so there was always a get out clause. Wendy Harris: Yes, you got a plan B, yeah. Peter Howard: Yeah, I tried to learn how to write a proposal, learn how to write a quotation, learn how to do stuff.  Doing the work wasn't a problem to be honest, because that's what our partnership was.  He went and got it and I did it.  So, doing it was no issue, it was the going and getting it and working out the business matters. So, I went round, and I spoke to all the suppliers.  I did a deal with every supplier that was owed money.  I said, "Look, I know I don't have to pay you but because trust and honour and reputation are vitally important, I'm going to".  So, we worked out a process where I'd do X amount of work for X amount of money that would knock off the debt; and ultimately when the debt's gone, with all these suppliers, they would still give me work and it would then turn into a better structure. I did deals with the banks to pay it off, and without boring you with all the details, I started PHd late January 1992.  Six years almost to the day after I started it, I can remember cracking open a bottle of champagne, with my then girlfriend who's now my wife, in our first house going, "That's it.  It's done".  The last bit of the debt was paid off and it was almost six years, so it took a long time and a lot of grief and a lot of graft, but reputation was completely intact, all debts paid and move onto the next chapter of PHd.  So pivotal moment; Christmas 1991. Wendy Harris: High ten to you, Pete.  I don't know why I don't know that story.  Perhaps it was because I needed to hear it today. Peter Howard: Maybe, I don't broadcast it; basically most people don't want to go, "Yeah, whatever". Wendy Harris: Thank you. Peter Howard: I've got nothing to hide by it, but it's not the sort of thing I normally broadcast, there you go.  I'm surprised you don't know actually because we have had quite a few chats, so there you go. Wendy Harris: Yes, I know we've talked about lots of things on lots of different deep levels that sometimes has got absolutely nothing to do with work and more about the life and the universe and our navel, but it's incredible really when you consider £100,000 in six years and to live, because that's the other element, isn't it?  You're not working that off and working for free and somebody else is covering your arse, let's be frank. Peter Howard: Well, I have to say my parents were amazing because they said, "No problem, come back", and I moved into my old room back at home.  So, I would be 26-ish at the time, and they said, "No problem".  My mum said, "Don't worry about paying us board so to speak or keep, do it when you can", which was brilliant.  So, I did when I could, but they were incredibly supportive, absolutely brilliant.  I couldn't have asked for better.  That massively helped. My first car I bought it off my dad.  I bought my dad's old, and some of your listeners may not even know what the hell one of these things is, but an old Datsun Stanza.  Datsun is the name that Nissan used to be called for anybody out there who doesn't know.  An old Datsun Stanza I bought off him for £300 and paid it off bit by bit, but it was a massive help.  So, I didn't do it alone, I did it with parental help. Wendy Harris: I think the other point that I just want to quickly touch on is that at that crossroads, when you could have gone left or right -- Peter Howard: Yeah. Wendy Harris: -- "After everything that I've just been through, I really don't want any more hassle, I'm just going to get on with it, keep my head down, once bitten I'm not going to get bitten again". Peter Howard: Yeah. Wendy Harris: Yet you decided to go with the, "I'm going to give this a try myself and you're nailing it and still nailing it". Peter Howard: Well, it's 29 years now we've been going, so I think the phrase is, "We're probably over the worst". Wendy Harris: Yeah, do you think? Peter Howard: Yeah, we must be doing something right because people keep coming back and we've won certain statuses within the industry, so we are recognised as actually good at what we do.  That is just born out by just being really open and honest. Coming back to this whole conversation situation, it doesn't matter who you are, if you can articulate what you need to solve.  If you're a client and you can articulate what you need to do, and if you're working with somebody who can understand that and articulate how they're going to help you solve it, all by the power of conversation, then it can happen. Wendy Harris: What I would like to say just as a final observation is that I hear you sometimes on your mobile phone and I know that you're following up a quote or that you're in the middle of a job for somebody, and you go, "Oh hello, so and so, yeah and we're doing this, and did you do that, and did you do the other?  Tell me what happened".  Then at the end you think, "Oh we've been on the phone quite a while I'd better go", and then you go, "Yes, that is why I rang you.  Oh, you want me to do that, okay".  So, you do ring -- you've just phoned auntie, your nephew, your best made down the pub and you kind of forget that you're working. Peter Howard: Weirdly enough I do say to people at work, if I'm going out and I'm talking to a customer and I'm sitting in front of somebody, whether they're a potentially new customer or a customer we've had for donkey's years, sitting there and chewing the fat and really getting a strong relationship going with them just by chatting, it doesn't feel like work, I do feel like I'm cheating sometimes, but that's what it's all about because everybody likes to be able to know who they're dealing with and trust them. Yesterday, I won't say who, but I was with a client yesterday morning and I dropped in to drop some bits and bobs off that they're ordered, and I was in Birmingham, so it was easier for me to do it; so I dropped in.  45 minutes later, rather than just drop it off, "Thanks very much", 45 minutes later, two coffees and a biscuit later, they'd started talking about some other things and I knew that the one lady had a fantastic holiday that had been cancelled for three times; I knew that the MD there wants another motorbike, and the particular motorbike that he's talking about wanting, I know someone who's got one, not that they're selling it, but I was able to have a conversation about that.  Personally, I think motorbikes are death traps, but that's only because I've been on a motorbike three times in my life and I've fallen off three times in my life, so, there's a message there. Wendy Harris: Average there, yeah. Peter Howard: I haven't got a pretty good hit rate there, but we could have just a conversation and the amount we laughed while we were talking was brilliant.  But it welds us together, it cements us together so we're going to carry on doing business hopefully for the next 20 years.  We've been dealing with them for 20 years already and I hope it carries on for another 20 and it's just because we get on and we like each other. Wendy Harris: It's the right kind of infectious. Peter Howard: Yeah. Wendy Harris: Thank you so much for agreeing to come on the show today, it's been just lovely to chat to you. Peter Howard: Or in the words of Vinnie Jones, it's been emotional. Wendy Harris: If anybody wants to pick up the conversation with you, Pete, about anything that we've talked about today, where's the best place for them to find you? Peter Howard: You can either ring the office, which is 01543 473191 or look on our website which is easily named as PHddesign.co.uk, that's with two d's in the middle; or email me, which is again really challenging email this so get your pens and papers ready, peter@phddesign.co.uk.  Nice to keep things simple. Wendy Harris: We will make sure that we put the details in the show notes for you, brilliant.  Thank you, Peter, it's been wonderful.  To our listeners please do send us your feedback and comments, we do love receiving all of those that we've been looking at recently and make sure you share this with your friends and family that need to be introduced to Peter.  Make sure you subscribe; the channel address is, as always www.makingconversationscount.studio/podcast.
