Quote I’ve been thinking about:

“Creativity often comes when you take an idea from its original context and you move it somewhere else.”

Tim Harford

Podcast I listened to:

Straight Talk with Mark Bouris #147: Arthur Laundy

Arthur Laundy is one of Australia’s most respected publicans and business figures.

As the driving force behind Laundy Hotels, a family-owned venture, he oversees a vast portfolio of pubs, hotels, and hospitality venues across the nation.

After the tragic passing of his father in 1969, Arthur, then just 28, stepped up to lead the family pub business. What started with two venues has grown into Australia’s largest privately-owned pub group, now boasting over 90 establishments—a testament to his vision and determination.

Undoubtedly my favourite Straight Talk episode of 2024.

Listen on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or YouTube.

Video I watched:

How To Start A Speech by Conor Neill 

One of the best YouTube videos I’ve seen in a while.

Absolutely brilliant.

It will change the way you approach every single speech and presentation from now on.

Question I’ve been thinking about:

Your Preparation & God’s Timing

“If you truly think you were ready for something, don’t you think that God would have given it to you by now?”

Still ruminating on this one.

Absolutely sent me back in my chair when I first read it.

I think what struck me most was the stark realisation that we can be actively obstructing ourselves from receiving the things that we have been praying for…

Opens up a galaxy of self-reflection and self-accountability.
