This week we shredded our vision board and fed it to some ornamental carp, purely to win the approval of author, critic and quite possibly the world first demotivational speaker, Patrick Freyne. Before becoming the enormously popular columnist and critic for the Irish Times, Patrick spent his 20s chasing the rock star dream. But while the life of big hair, hard drugs and tight trousers wasn't to be, it did give Patrick the time and space required to be one of the creative world's leading authors, thinkers and sense-talkers. His book ‘Ok, Let's Do Your Stupid Idea' is a glorious celebration of curiosity, experimentation and letting your heart lead the way. And now he's on a mission to dismantle the cult of ‘Big P' productivity and remind people that ‘maximising your potential' is a poor substitute for living your life.  This episode is dedicated to Patrick's wife Anna Carey, who has been his biggest influence. She also has an amazing funny romance fiction book coming out later this year called Our Song.  ///// Follow Patrick on X and Bluesky Timestamps:  01:32 - The Concept of Demotivational Speaking 07:36 - Patrick's Early Jobs and Musical Aspirations 09:08 - The Influence of Music on Patrick's Life 12:04 - The Importance of Curiosity in Career Paths 15:18 - Exploring the Idea of 'Stupid Ideas' 17:14 - The Impact of Burnout and Productivity Culture 20:40 - Finding Peace in Accepting Average Productivity 22:37 - Cultural Expectations and Work-Life Balance 25:31 - The Role of Technology in Productivity Anxiety 30:17 - The Dangers of Measurable Metrics 32:03 - Writing Techniques and Approaches 36:30 - The Importance of Rhythm in Writing 39:01 - Listener Questions: Generational Perspectives on Productivity 42:57 - Antidotes to Hustle Culture and Finding Balance 45:27 - Final Thoughts on Productivity and Well-Being Patrick's Book Recommendations are:  The Fourth Time We Drowned – Sally Hayden  Commonwealth – Anne Patchett A Visit from Lagoon Squad – Jennifer Egan /////
