Ep 7 - Procrastination Station - How to get it done!
I can't believe its nearly been 2 years since I last recorded a podcast, why? Because I have been procrastinating.
I could give you a million excuses but what it comes down to is a list of poor excuses.

Ep 6 - A Psychopaths playground and an employees nightmare
A deadly virus is a psychopath’s dream and although non-criminal psychopaths known as primary psychopaths or successful psychopaths are not normally killers they could essentially become secret killers in a pandemic.
In the workplace, a psychopath may use this time to carelessly put staff in danger. They may appear to be abiding by the rules giving out hand sanitizer or expecting you to bring your own yet not using it themselves believing they are invincible or sadistically hoping they will contract the virus enabling them to spread it around licking your favorite pen when your away from your desk or coughing uncontrollably on your mouse.
This episode discusses psychopaths in the workplace during a pandemic and how they can thrive in an environment of fear and use the pandemic as another tool to manipulate and be crawl to employees and others.
