Simon looks at the concept of taking massive action in property investing and how to overcome procrastination. He introduces the "massive success formula," which emphasises the importance of combining massive action, doing the right stuff, and consistency to achieve significant success in real estate. Simon outlines key steps for aspiring investors, such as finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and building a network. He also shares valuable resources, including Mel Robbins' "The 5 Second Rule" and Brian Tracy's "Eat That Frog," to help listeners take immediate action and tackle their most challenging tasks. KEY TAKEAWAYS To achieve success in property investing, it's crucial to take massive action, which includes finding motivated sellers, arranging viewings, making offers, and following up on potential deals. Procrastination can hinder progress. Utilising techniques like Mel Robbins' "5 Second Rule" can help prompt immediate action on opportunities instead of delaying them. Attending networking events and connecting with others in the property industry is essential. Building relationships can lead to potential partnerships and funding opportunities. Books like "Eat That Frog" by Brian Tracy can provide strategies for managing tasks and prioritising actions that lead to success in property investing. Regularly assess what actions you need to take and what activities may be holding you back. Creating a "don't do" list can help identify unproductive habits that need to be eliminated. BEST MOMENTS "If you want to achieve huge success, there are three things you need to do and you need to do them together." "Procrastination is one of the biggest enemies of massive action." "The more action you take, the better results you get." "If you do that frog, that difficult task, everything else on your list seems easy in comparison." "You need people to know you, like you, and trust you, and that only comes with time."

I finally caught up with the small Chery Tiggo 4 SUV recently – this relatively new Chinese newcomer has received favourable reviews – a highly equipped SUV in two sharply priced grades – the Urban at $23,990 drive-away and the Ultimate at $26,990 drive-away – both surprising in terms of value and very well-built for that money too. Utilising a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder with 108kW and 210Nm linked to a continuously variable automatic driving the front wheels. The Chery Tiggo 4 Ultimate model with sunroof and dual zone climate control air is incredible value and unmatched in features by the likes of MG’s ZS and Haval’s Jolion while it undercuts the likes of Hyundai’s Kona, Toyota Corolla Cross, Mazda CX-30 and Kia’ Seltos. I just driven Chery Tiggo 4 models and came away impressed – I review the Chery Tiggo 4 on Sunday week. I’m David BerthonSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Elise Campbell is a multimedia artist based in Stillwater Lake, Nova Scotia. Working primarily with wool, silk, and other natural fibres, she creates sculptural pieces that push traditional craft boundaries and the limits of wool as a medium by exploring human-nature relationships through textural forms, histories, and surface design. Utilising both contemporary techniques such as needle felting and nuno felting alongside the traditional craft of wet felting, she creates work that reflects narratives of ecological movement, weaving in themes of environmental stewardship. Inspired by both found specimens and botanical watercolour illustrations, Elise's body of work is growing from fungi and algae/kelp to include historical and currently relevant ecology specimens. Elise's dedication to elevating wool fibre to fine craft is evident in her commitment to innovation and collaboration. Her work has garnered recognition and support from prestigious institutions such as the Canada Council for the Arts, The Robert Pope Foundation, and the Denis Diderot Grant, and has been showcased in galleries across Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and Ontario. Through her creative endeavours, residencies, and an international felting study, Elise strives to both inspire and embrace innovation and collaboration, fostering a collective responsibility to protect and cherish our natural home, Earth. We talked about our first time meeting through an art jury, her love of felting and why she only recently started identifying as an artist. We also talk about a very raw and beautiful documentary that she starred in called Hold Fast | A Tattoo That Fits and Flows. In this award winning short film by tattoo artist, Chad Harrington Elise generously shares the journey to getting her first tattoo.

Kasia Bromley's career started at Alexander McQueen in haute couture after she came over from Poland to study fashion in Edinburgh. Soon after her graduation, she started designing clothing, but it wasn't until 2016 that the brand we know today as ACAI officially launched. Kasia and her husband, Joe, co-founded the brand when they were expecting their first child. Kasia had previously identified a gap in the market for outdoor clothes for women that allowed them to confidently explore the outdoors- something she'd really wanted as she always had an affinity with spending time in nature and knew of the positive impact this could have. Utilising her fashion background and her extensive knowledge of technical fabrics, ACAI was born, but it took a long time to build it to the brand that's so well known and loved today. At one point, financial issues led to the couple having to move out of the family home and live apart in different countries to make ends meet, but this only served as fuel for Kasia and ACAI. A change in strategy saw ACAI launch online in 2017 and the business has grown at an incredible rate since then. I was delighted to speak to Kasia for my latest book, You've Got This, and it's a joy to share this interview with you here today. Don't forget, you can grab your copy of You've Got This through Amazon, Bloomsbury direct and all good bookshops.

Imagine there are two computers. One computer is a standalone connected to nothing but the electrical supply. The second one is connected to a network of computers. Which of the two is likely to be more useful to you? A similar concept applies to learning. People with a greater database are almost always seen as “more talented”. A database is something we can control, and learning how to use it makes us more “talented”. Here's where you start on the journey.

Dr Frank Cahill, clinical psychologist and insomnia specialist, joins fx Medicine by BioCeuticals ambassador and psychologist Dr Adrian Lopresti to explore the understanding and treatment of insomnia. Nearly half of Australian adults report sleep issues, with a rise in cases observed at Frank's practice during the pandemic.

The connection between technology and psychology may not be immediately apparent but our instincts when under attack, wherever the threat may come from, are often surprisingly similar. Lorne Chedzey, Chief Information Officer at Ergo, delves into the parallels between technology and psychology. As both a technology specialist and someone who has spent many years studying the human science of psychology, I have witnessed a parallel between how humans behave when facing a psychological threat, and how many CISO's and IT leaders behave when facing the potential threat of a data breach. Information technology is a product of the human mind so perhaps this is not too surprising. However, we can gain some insights from psychology that can be useful, like how the powerful human forces of fear and acceptance can play a key role in our cyber resilience strategy, and what to look out for as common pitfalls in strategic thinking. Many years ago, during my psychology degree, I studied the stress response, writing my thesis around the effectiveness of various coping mechanisms. It's human nature to focus on trying to prevent something unpleasant and the human body has developed a "fight or flight" response to respond to threatening events, which is often the cause for many people to suffer from a chronic stress response as well as anxiety. These symptoms can be incredibly debilitating for some people, and they were born during our evolution where this response, which raises cortisol levels in the bloodstream can lead to action, to flee from the bear chasing us through the woods. In modern times, we still feel the same feelings, but our environment is very different. When we have unpleasant experiences today, we often protect ourselves from these psychologically threatening events with defence mechanisms, such as avoidance. This can sometimes be effective in warding off the initial threat, but by doing so, we are not preparing ourselves for a time when we cannot avoid this situation. When this happens, the situation can cause considerable psychological damage. This coping strategy is only affective when we can control the variables. To draw parallels to the cyber-security realm, IT leaders have built a fortress, of prevention technologies, with firewalls, identity and access management systems, which are all effective at avoiding the threat of a cyber-attack. All of this is needed to protect their organisations valuable data from falling into the wrong hands, which is why it is a wise strategy to pursue. However, this alone is of no use if you do eventually get breached, and you are in a situation where you're facing a threat where you are not in control of the variables, and there is a risk of considerable business and reputational damage, as well as a lot of stress. If someone is struggling with chronic stress because they are finding it difficult to cope with external factors, sometimes it's helpful to understand where the issue is coming from, so that they can identify the root cause and start to do something about it. Often counselling or cognitive behavioural therapy can be useful in this instance. A good therapist will delve deeply into thoughts, and feelings, and how these may result in specific behaviours. This can sometimes provide someone with an "aha" moment, where they can link an external stimulus, to a thought, and then onto a behaviour. This can be effective at changing behaviour and reducing the stress response. From a cyber security perspective, it is the instigation of observability tools to identify and analyse where there may be potential breaches. Using SIEM systems to collect and analyse event logs can detect potential threats that could be a root cause to a possible breach. Utilising vulnerability management systems to identify systems, networks and software that may have holes that need to be plugged. This exploration work is very effective at understanding where the root cause of a breach may occur, and gives an...

Simon delves into two lucrative property investment strategies: Houses of Multiple Occupation (HMOs) and serviced accommodation, comparing the benefits and challenges of each approach, highlighting the importance of quality in HMOs to attract better tenants and ensure consistent income. He discusses the need for effective management and the potential for repeat customers in the Airbnb market, while also discussing the impact of upcoming regulations on short-term rentals. KEY TAKEAWAYS HMOs provide consistent income through long-term contracts (typically 6-12 months) and can yield a profit of at least £1,000 per property when managed correctly. High-end co-living HMOs are recommended to attract better tenants and avoid competing solely on price. Airbnb properties can generate significant income, but the occupancy rates can fluctuate, averaging around 70%. Dynamic pricing is essential to maximise profits based on demand, and maintaining good reviews is crucial for attracting repeat customers. Recent regulations in Scotland and Wales, with potential upcoming regulations in England, may impact the Airbnb market by requiring safety standards and registration. This could reduce supply and benefit those who remain in the market. Successful property investing involves not doing all the work personally. Utilising managing agents for HMOs and virtual assistants for Airbnb can help streamline operations, allowing investors to focus on growing their portfolio while maintaining a work-life balance. BEST MOMENTS "If you have a vanilla boring HMO, you're going to compete on price, which is not a good thing." "The key to making lots of money in SA, Airbnb, is to get repeat customers. It's very important to get really good reviews." "When regulation comes in, there'll be a fall in supply of Airbnb and service accommodation units available to rent." "If you look after your tenants in an HMO, I've got tenants who've stayed for years and years and years." "Please treat your property investing like a business, systemise it and get great people in to help you run that business."

In this short episode, recorded in a local city center park, I discuss why we should utilize all four seasons in our quest for better health and fitness levels. Approaching March, it's likely many of you are still thinking about or pondering over when you are going to start walking, swimming, weight training or improving your nutrition. Take into account, within 4 weeks time, we are a quarter of the way through 2025, of which only April to September we are blessed with daylight and warmer weather, before the annual doom and gloom filled prospect of the autumn and winter months. Start today folks and avoid the norm of avoidance in healthy decisions, waiting for a warm sunny day, which might not materialize until May or June.

Lyn welcomes relationship coach Roy Biancalana to discuss the often ignored idea of "getting ready for real love." Roy shares insights from his own personal experiences, emphasising the importance of going on a journey of self-awareness and personal growth before seeking a partner. He highlights the common mistakes people make when searching for love, such as focusing solely on finding a partner rather than preparing themselves for attracting a healthy relationship. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before seeking a partner, it's crucial to work on ourselves to heal/ remove any emotional baggage and self-sabotaging behaviours. By changing the focus to being in a healthy state, we allow for better connections to be attracted to us when meeting potential partners. Many individuals repeat unhealthy relationship patterns because they fail to recognise their own contributions to their past experiences. Self-reflection and awareness are essential for breaking these cycles. The idea that "like attracts like" emphasises that individuals will attract partners who are at a similar level of emotional and psychological health. To attract a healthier partner, one must first work on becoming a healthier partner by being our best self. Utilising tools like the Relationship Fitness Self-Assessment Test can provide insights into one's current relationship readiness and highlight areas for personal growth. BEST MOMENTS "If we aren't ready for something real... we shoot ourselves in the foot." "A lot of people... are frightened to be single... especially if they're unintentionally single." "You will always attract a partner and a relationship that is as healthy as you are." "If you want an extraordinary relationship... you have to do some really serious work on yourself."

Simon discusses the concept of using other people's money in property investment with successful mastermind graduate Andy Tattersfield. Andy shares his journey from the motor trade to becoming a full-time joiner and eventually venturing into property investment. He recounts how he overcame his initial doubts about attracting investors and successfully completed several deals without using his own funds. The conversation highlights the importance of networking, social media, and building trust with joint venture partners. KEY TAKEAWAYS Learning to leverage other people's money is crucial for property investment, especially when personal funds are limited. Many successful investors have built their portfolios by collaborating with investors who provide the necessary capital. Building a strong network is vital in the property business. Engaging with others in the industry can lead to valuable partnerships and opportunities. Attending property networking events, such as PIN meetings, can help establish these connections. Utilising social media to share progress and projects can attract potential investors. By showcasing what you are doing, you can engage with individuals who may be interested in investing in your ventures. Investing in education, such as attending courses and workshops, can significantly enhance your knowledge and confidence in property investment. Understanding concepts like capital allowances can provide additional financial benefits. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's something that you've said right from the very beginning, you don't know what you don't know. Absolutely. Because now I know more." "I was told or advised to get on social media and tell the people what you're doing, which is what I did." "When people say your network is your net worth, you know, so true." "It's a false economy.

Lucinda is joined by Andrew Webster, a Senior People Analytics Manager at Evershed Sutherland, to discuss the evolving field of HR analytics and its significance in modern organisations. Andrew shares insights from his career journey, highlighting his transition from a mathematics teacher to a key player in HR analytics, where he focuses on transforming data into actionable insights. He also discusses the importance of using tools like Power BI to visualise data and support strategic decision-making within HR KEY TAKEAWAYS The transition from manual Excel-based reporting to automated systems like Power BI is crucial for HR professionals to provide actionable insights and support strategic decision-making. Utilising data to predict employee turnover and performance trends can help HR intervene proactively, enhancing employee engagement and reducing recruitment costs. The integration of AI in HR analytics is an emerging trend that can streamline processes, improve reporting, and enhance the ability to derive insights from data more quickly. The journey of understanding one's own neurodiversity can lead to greater self-acceptance and recognition of unique strengths, which can be leveraged in professional settings. BEST MOMENTS "I've always said I've made a career out of creating really good insights out of really bad data. It doesn't have to be perfect to have something useful." "You want to be able to demonstrate your evidence base, you want to be able to show influence people of things." "AI will not replace the head work or the heart work, but it will replace some of the hands work." "I think I found out that I have an autistic spectrum condition... It gives me some of my greatest strengths as well as challenges." "It's accept us for who we are and channel those strengths. Focus on the positives because you're right, it is human nature often to go into the negatives."

Hey Friends,This podcast episode goes out to all of you that LOVE to be in control... and find it hard to surrender to a greater plan, even more surrender to your manifestations...In this episode, I share my recent experiences navigating the ups and downs of life as I dealt with the news of gestational diabetes and big adjustments to our wedding plans.

Simon is joined by special guests, Michael and Laura Taylor, who share their inspiring journey from traditional careers in teaching and medicine to successful property investors specialising in HMOs (Houses in Multiple Occupation). They discuss the pivotal moments that led them to explore property investment, including the influence of a transformative book and a three-day Accelerator course. They also reflect on their rapid progress over the past three years, achieving significant financial milestones and developing effective management strategies for their properties. KEY TAKEAWAYS Developing a strong mindset and self-belief is crucial for success in property investment. The journey may have challenges, but maintaining confidence and trusting the process can lead to significant achievements. Utilising management systems and outsourcing can alleviate the burden of managing properties. Michael and Laura have successfully implemented a virtual assistant system to handle tenant communications and maintenance requests, allowing them to focus on other aspects of their lives. There are various strategies in property investment, and it's important to find the right fit. Michael and Laura have chosen HMOs for their cash flow potential and are open to exploring other strategies as they continue to grow their portfolio. Property investment can provide a sustainable income that allows individuals to reduce reliance on traditional employment. This alternative can lead to greater freedom and the ability to pursue work that is genuinely enjoyable rather than necessary for financial survival. BEST MOMENTS "I was sat in my office, staring at the same four walls thinking, can I do this for another 25 years? The short answer was no." "It absolutely sort of blew our minds a little bit as to what was possible in property." "It was a real conscious choice to go, no, we're going to carry on." "One of our properties we've just handed over to a social housing charity... making us £2,000 a month without literally any other costs whatsoever." "There is another option. There are other ways."

If there was just one thing I could tell you to help you liberate your mind then it would be this message. This changed my world in ways I could not have imagined and it has changed the lives of hundreds of my clients too.  Drawing from personal experiences and client stories, Paul reveals how this childlike aspect of our psyche can dominate our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, often leading to feelings of anxiety, procrastination, and self-sabotage.

Recognising this influence is crucial for personal growth. The child ego state often triggers emotional responses rooted in fear and limiting beliefs, which can manifest as anxiety, procrastination, and self-sabotage. Identifying these triggers can help in regaining control. Developing awareness of the child ego state and approaching it with compassion can facilitate healing and transformation. This involves acknowledging the feelings and thoughts associated with the child ego and inviting it to rest. Utilising breathing techniques can help calm the emotional and survival brain, allowing for a clearer perspective and the ability to respond rather than react to situations dominated by the child ego. BEST MOMENTS "When I discovered this message a good few years ago, it was like a big wet fish, bam, had been slapped around my face to wake me up to what I had been doing." "You are a smart person, right? You have a good level of common sense most of the time. But have a think for a moment about an area of your life where you are struggling." "Every time your child ego state dominates you, it's reminding you that on a deeper level there is a voice that wants to be heard." "Think of your ego as an energy pattern. You are energy and this energy pattern is part of you."

I'm delighted to speak with Dr Thomas Simpson this week. Thomas is a lecturer in Motor Learning and Skill Acquisition at Edge Hill University. He is interested in how motor learning and motor skill acquisition in children can be optimised through attentional and motivational factors. Thomas obtained his BSc in Sport and Exercise Science and his PhD at Edge Hill University.  In this episode we discuss a paper Thomas co-wrote which examined the use of OPTIMAL Instructions and Feedback in Physical Education Settings. Here, OPTIMAL stands for Optimizing Performance through Intrinsic Motivation and Attention for Learning. It is a theory of motor learning developed by Gabriele Wulf and Rebecca Lewthwaite.  The paper investigates how PE teachers can use instruction and feedback which promote OPTIMAL theory motor learning factors (e.g., an external focus of attention, enhanced expectancies and autonomy support) to enhance children's motor learning.

The full version of Saph's interrupted poem from 3x10! See below for written version of the poem. Ode to the Day the Starstrider Avoided an Asteroid - A Poem by Saph Written by Francesca Mylod-Ford Performed by Rosie Curry Whilst observing in the mess hall, Utilising perfect recall, And preparing for an asteroid collision I percieve a fight recurring (Though the engines keep on whirring) So I plan out all responses with precision. Quoth the Captain: "It's an issue For our hull will crunch like tissue If we try with an uneven distribution." Quoth the Doctor: "It's appalling But still better than forestalling And we cannot find another substitution." All the Crew is getting nervous, No one offering their service, And they are in desperate need of a logician. Now I know that I am needed For their intellect's exceeded; They require my own superior cognition.

Simon examines the recent Labour government budget, marking the first in 14 years, and its implications for property investors. He highlights unexpected decisions regarding capital gains tax and stamp duty, revealing how these changes could influence the property market. Simon also looks at the potential for increased rental rates due to a decrease in available rental properties as landlords exit the market. Additionally, the episode explores the concept of purchase lease options as a strategic investment approach, allowing investors to control properties without immediate purchase, thus capitalising on market opportunities.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The Labour government did not increase capital gains tax rates for residential property, contrary to expectations. Instead, they aligned the rates for other assets with residential property rates, which could lead to increased revenue from non-residential assets. With a potential decrease in the number of rental properties available due to landlords exiting the market, there may be a rise in rental rates. Increased minimum wage could also enable tenants to afford higher rents, despite concerns about unemployment. The unexpected increase in stamp duty to 5% for property investors may initially deter some buyers, but it presents an opportunity for those willing to adapt. Investors can negotiate harder and find good deals as competition decreases. Utilising purchase lease options allows investors to control properties without immediate purchase, avoiding the 5% stamp duty and enabling profit generation through rental income. This strategy can be particularly beneficial in the current market conditions. The current economic climate, including potential decreases in mortgage rates and the ongoing supply-demand imbalance in the housing market, presents significant opportunities for property investors willing to take action, especially in the last months of the year. BEST MOMENTS "I was wrong about capital gains tax... the Labour government have not changed the capital gains tax rates for residential property." "What this means is there's probably going to be a fall in the amount of rental property available, which is going to cause a bit more of a shortage." "There will be a bit of time where people think, 'Oh, I'm not sure if I really want to invest in property,' but eventually, that's going to happen." "We can help them earn more money than they would if they sold and put the money in the bank."

Lucinda discusses the upcoming book series "Six Minute Smarts," set to be published on November 5, 2024, by Practical Inspiration Publishing. The series aims to help individuals coach themselves in various business skills, including effective change management. Drawing from the her previous work, Lucinda outlines a structured approach to understanding and implementing change over ten days, emphasising the importance of emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and effective communication KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding and mastering one's own emotions is crucial for effective change management. Courage is also essential for challenging the status quo and confronting resistance. Recognising the necessity of change and understanding the bigger picture helps in motivating others and gaining their support. Utilising frameworks like Richard Beckhard's change equation can aid in assessing the need for change. Communicating change effectively requires both quantity and quality. Building a coalition of allies is important for successful change implementation, as no change agent can succeed alone. Different personality types respond to change in various ways. Recognising these differences can help tailor communication and support to ensure that all team members are engaged and committed to the change process. BEST MOMENTS "The bottom line is, I know everybody's realising that change is constant, but reality is that organisations still don't know how to manage it effectively." "To be a change superhero, we need to have courage to stand up and be counted. It may mean challenging the status quo." "Communication is not just quantity but quality. We need to make sure we are congruent with the way we communicate." "It's about helping people really clearly see that vision and also breaking it down into manageable steps."

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 130*Epoch of Reionization: New Insights from WebbA groundbreaking study suggests the epoch of reionization, a pivotal era in the universe's early evolution, may have occurred 350 million years earlier than previously believed. Utilising data from the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have uncovered a greater abundance of extreme ultraviolet emitting galaxies, challenging established models. This revelation might imply that the cosmic microwave background radiation and the Lyman alpha forest should appear different, posing a conundrum for scientists and opening new avenues for understanding the universe's history.*NASA's DaVinci Mission Prepares for VenusNASA's upcoming DaVinci mission aims to explore Venus's enigmatic Alpha Regio, a mountainous region shrouded in mystery. The mission, set for the early 2030s, will delve into whether Venus once harboured oceans and continents, akin to Earth. By reanalysing old data and employing modern techniques, scientists have enhanced the resolution of Venus's topography, offering fresh insights into its geological features and potential volcanic activity. DaVinci's descent probe will capture unprecedented high-resolution images, potentially revealing new details about Venus's surface.*China's First Reusable Satellite TestChina has successfully tested its first reusable satellite, the SHY119, launched aboard a Long March 2D rocket. Recovered after 13.5 days, the mission included various payloads, such as plant seeds and technology demonstration devices. This achievement marks a significant milestone in China's Space exploration efforts, showcasing advancements in reusable satellite technology.The Science RobertA study links hearing loss in older age to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, with effective management through hearing aids potentially mitigating this risk. In the South Australian outback, palaeontologists have discovered one of Earth's earliest life forms, dating back 550 million years. Meanwhile, a new study warns that up to 33% of frog and toad habitats could become arid by the century's end due to climate change. Additionally, a Gallup poll reveals a significant drop in support for childhood vaccinations in the US, raising concerns about herd immunity.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.comwww.bitesz.com

New Talk Art special episode!!!! We meet leading artist Alvaro Barrington, presented by BMW.We explore his work since we last met him on the podcast a few years ago, his current, epic solo 'Grace' at Tate Britain's Duveen Galleries, as well as a very cool recent collaboration with BMW at Frieze Seoul. Inspired by the BMW Art Car Collection and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the artist has paint over seven miniature i7s, drawing inspiration from video games and music.Barrington's practice explores interconnected histories of cultural production. Considering himself primarily a painter, Barrington's multimedia approach to image-making employs burlap, textiles, postcards and clothing, exploring how materials themselves can function as visual tools while referencing their personal, political and commercial histories. Barrington is interested in how the vehicles of the future will have the potential to recognise our moods, emotions and schedules, and as such adapt to them accordingly. The artist explores the future of cars reimagined as self-driving entertainment units and places for meeting that can help bridge different cultures through new technologies such as instant language translation. Utilising artificial intelligence, cars will go far beyond their purely transporting function and instead help us foster new connections and fulfil our daily needs.For this project, Barrington looked into video games centered around cars, which were not only important as play and entertainment, but also as platforms for music and culture. Exploring the history of cars and other vehicles that enable travel and movement, the artist has focused on the intersection of cars and culture and the way they have influenced one another. Merging these references, the artist created 7 unique cars, each featuring a drawing from a film, music video or portraying a cultural figure, which remain influential in Barrington's life and practice.For his Tate Britain commission, Barrington's personal exploration of identity and belonging is a journey in three parts honouring his grandmother, sister and mother.He draws from personal memories across time and place, from his grandmother's Caribbean home where a thunderstorm hammers on the corrugated tin roof, to the exhilarating energy of Carnival. Tate Britain's Duveen Galleries are transformed into a space alive with sound, colour and texture.This is Barrington's poignant celebration of the people and places that make us feel we belong.'GRACE is the constant reimagining of Black culture and aspirational attitude under foreign conditions. GRACE here explores how my grandmother, my mother, and my sister in the British Caribbean community showed up gracefully.' - Alvaro BarringtonGrace runs until 26 January 2025 at @Tate Britain, free entry.

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  In this episode, I look at two major – and opposing – strategies for dehoarding: "swallow the frog," where you handle the toughest task first, and "save the worst till last," which focuses on building confidence with easier tasks. I'll discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each approach and offer tips for blending them to fit your unique needs. Join to learn how to break down the overwhelming task of dehoarding into manageable steps. Swallowing the Frog Best when preventing access to essential areas (e.g., cooker, bath). Tackling tough tasks first can improve home functionality and reduce stress. Saving the Worst Till the Last Building confidence in dehoarding. Tasks that are emotionally charged but less visibly impactful (e.g., old photos). Utilising both approaches based on emotional resilience and situational needs. Experimentation with both strategies. Reflect on personality and typical approaches to difficult tasks. Planning strategies based on task suitability and personal motivation. Curiosity and trying different methods. Observing outcomes and refining methods. Balancing approaches for optimal dehoarding progress. Embracing flexible planning and adjusting as needed. Breaking Down Tasks Breaking tasks into smaller, manageable steps. Working for shorter, focused periods with breaks to prevent burnout. Building Confidence Addressing easier tasks first to build capability for more challenging tasks. Sorting manageable items before tackling emotionally difficult possessions. Mixing both "Swallow the Frog" and "Save the Worst Till Last" strategies. Examination of the psychological impact of task management. Discussing mental barriers, procrastination, and overwhelm. Emphasis on efficiency and making progress to avoid demoralisation. Strategies to manage overwhelming dehoarding tasks Identifying the "frog." Two opposite strategies for handling hard tasks. Resolve tasks early to minimise stress and discomfort. Breaking tasks into smaller chunks mitigates overwhelming discouragement. Starting with easier tasks provides steady motivation. Procrastination perpetuates stress from avoiding major tasks. Ease into dehoarding with manageable tasks first. Try both approaches, observe, adapt, and refine. Examining two strategies for tackling hard tasks in the context of dehoarding: "swallow the frog" (address tough tasks first) vs. saving the worst for last, focusing on their psychological impact on barriers, procrastination, and efficiency. Completing tasks alleviates stress and builds momentum for future tasks. Swallowing the frog can be discouraging if tasks are tougher than expected. Break tasks into smaller chunks to avoid demoralisation. Identify and prioritise your most challenging tasks, such as urgent issues or emotionally taxing items. Starting with smaller tasks provides steady motivation and achievement, offering quick wins that boost morale and maintain long-term productivity. Procrastination on the most urgent task causes continuous stress and anxiety, overshadowing achievement of smaller tasks. Start with moderately hard tasks, gradually advancing to harder tasks over time. Adapt approaches based on task suitability. Start with easier tasks to build confidence when dehoarding, and save emotionally challenging items for later. Use both approaches as needed based on your situation. Try both approaches and observe which helps you make the most progress. Keep adapting and refining based on your observations.

Angela engages in a frank and candid conversation with the great Andy Ramage, who shares his journey of giving up alcohol and the positive impact it had on his life. Andy discusses his personal experience of transitioning from a high-paced, alcohol-fuelled lifestyle to one focused on health, fitness, and personal growth. He highlights the importance of building healthy habits, setting goals, and staying committed to change, as well as emphasising the significance of overcoming ambivalence towards alcohol and creating a compelling future without it. KEY TAKEAWAYS Encouraging the adoption of healthy behaviours and habits, such as exercise and journaling, can create a positive loop of motivation and success. Recognising that setbacks and failures are a natural part of the journey towards change can help individuals bounce back stronger and continue on their path. By setting clear goals and values, individuals can train their brains to filter out information that aligns with their aspirations, leading to more focused and purposeful actions. Utilising alcohol-free alternatives in social situations can help individuals feel more comfortable and confident while socialising without alcohol. BEST MOMENTS "Life had plateaued a little bit. I'd got early onset heart disease I'd just discovered. My relationships were somewhat strained and it was a real awakening of Actually, what are we all doing? This is nuts." "I think it's ambivalence, that love-hate relationship in our brain with alcohol, which most people carry. So there's that moment of awareness of, actually, I think this is not serving me anymore." "When we can get so caught up in the steps, and that is a necessary part of it, like you say, you have to do the work, but you also have to switch your mind on to what's important."

How did ideas of masculinity shape the British legal profession and the wider expectations of the white-collar professional? Brotherhood of Barristers: A Cultural History of the British Legal Profession, 1840–1940 (Cambridge University Press, 2024) by Dr. Ren Pepitone examines the cultural history of the Inns of Court – four legal societies whose rituals of symbolic brotherhood took place in their supposedly ancient halls. These societies invented traditions to create a sense of belonging among members – or, conversely, to marginalise those who did not fit the profession's ideals. Dr. Pepitone examines the legal profession's efforts to maintain an exclusive, masculine culture in the face of sweeping social changes across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Utilising established sources such as institutional records alongside diaries, guidebooks, and newspapers, this book looks afresh at the gendered operations of Victorian professional life. Brotherhood of Barristers incorporates a diverse array of historical actors, from the bar's most high-flying to struggling law students, disbarred barristers, political radicals, and women's rights campaigners. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.
