The Speed Podcast Professionally Different

Routines, Mornings, Schedules, Timelines...

These can all be things that fill people with dread and misery.

But do they have to?

Should they?

Do we need these things in our lives?

In this episode, Mia & Simon discuss their own experiences with all the above, explore the various difficulties of them and share some tips on how to get the most out of them.

If you're keen to hear some new takes on these subjects within a quirky format The Speed Podcast is the one to listen to!

Have a wonderful day,

Mia & Simon 

In this episode, Mia and I speak honestly about telling the truth. 

In the typical format of; 1 topic (telling the truth), 5 different categories, and 60 seconds each. 

When you have to listen intently and then speak passionately within the space of 2 minutes it's a real struggle sometimes to speak from the heart and not just surface level. It's also tough to speak completely honestly and tell the whole truth within the space of a minute. 

Think about the times that you're explicitly told to tell the truth, they're a challenge, aren't they!?  

In this episode, you'll be able to hear two people grappling with the concept and being vulnerable in doing so. 

Honestly, we hope you enjoy it.  We certainly enjoyed making it - and that's the truth.

In this episode you find us recording again during the Corona Virus lockdown!

As such we thought we'd occupy our minds and our thoughts with post-lockdown and post Corona predictions.

We lightly touched on this subject in the previous episode but we thought it would be good to devote a full discussion to it. For us, this podcast and this episode in particular will act as a time capsule of sorts.

It's going to encase feelings, thoughts and specific experiences we've had during lock down and as such it'll be fasinating to see what we think of our predictions in the years to come!

During this episode we talk about what we hope for the future on the back of this pandemic, what we fear for the future and chat about some more personal aspects as well.

This episode, even if you're listening to it years on from the lock down could act as a prompt for you to check in with yourself and to understand what your life has been since lockdown. Perhaps you made promises to yourself that you've not kept, or perhaps the opposite and you've improved your life for the better and this is a chance for you to recognise that and give yourself a good pat on the back!

Mia and I are so excited to have a listen to this in a few years time and reflect on what we discussed, it's such an exciting platform, format or topic. Fingers crossed when we do come back to listen to it we will be doing so alongside our community and we can all have a nice giggle at our predictions.

It's the big TEN!!!

We've hit double digits in episode numbers and wow does it feel like one heck of an achievement!

Conveniently, this episode is all about learning. Mia and myself started this podcast with a few plans and aims, one in particular being - to learn.

For us, learning is of such massive value, we are of the opinion that you don't ever stop learning and nor should you want to.

In this episode we share some of our biggest lessons and our wider thoughts on learning. We hope you enjoy and we look forward to learning from you soon!

In this episode we focus on a very poignant topic for these trying times - Virtual life.

It's currently April 2020 (at the time of recording) meaning that both Mia & myself are experiencing lockdown in the UK due to Covid-19. Virtual life in 2020 is such a rich discussion point.

Prior to Covid we were already moving at pace towards digitising our lives, moving into virtual spaces, investing in AR & VR, now however things have kicked into hyperdrive!

Family is such an integral element to both of our lives, it would have been remiss of us not to discuss it!   

Family is a fantastic thing.

There are biological families, adoptive families, friendship families, animal families and much, much more.  

Mia and I come from completely different backgrounds and family settings, but equally find that we share many similarities as well.

It's such a deep and rich subject which could lead to so many different discussion paths.

Fortunately, due to the format we've chosen for the podcast we managed to avoid talking for hours on end, even though we could have done very easily!   

Without wanting to give too much away before you listen, in this episode, we discuss how family can influence you and your life, how a 'found' family (such as a group of friends) could be just as, if not more important than your biological family and in the spirit of the topic and our growing community we welcome you into our Speed Podcast family as well.
