Hi Friends,

I know it was only Monday that you received the last email but I'm feeling inspired. I have clarity, confidence and gratitude. All from getting out and going running. More on this below.

Save the date in the afternoon of July 31st. We're working on something BIG.

Relating to this announcement I'm on the hunt for a speaker, someone who has built a business and is ideally someone with National level identity, if anyone comes to mind, please let me know, I'd appreciate it.

Highlights:

• Trying to not be a people pleaser
  
  
• Meeting several new business owners which has been great, it's my focus for the next few months is to meet as many new people as possible. Get in touch if you own a business and we haven't met in person, i'd like to sit down
• Finished two books: Jordan Peterson, Beyond Order and Fanatical Prospecting. Two very very different books but both good.
• Working hard toward the new podcast studio launch and eying up season 4 and what it looks like
• Looking through my photo album from the week, nothing really jumped out, other than the memory of the pizza below from Gussys Pizza, so good!
• Honestly, a bit of quiet week on the highlights, it's season I'm in

What Have I learned:

Running and its value

I mentioned 3 words above:

Clarity

Confidence

Gratitude

These are the words that came to mind this morning while running. I was faced with a crossroad moment. Do I run or not run.

And before going any further this content is designed for an occasional runner or someone who has run previously.

I'm not trying to convert anyone who hasn't run into being a "runner" it's too bigger gap to close.

For someone like myself who has run off and on over the years, I still don't label myself as a runner. I do it for the benefits it provides and as an excuse to travel and enter races.

Today was a good reminder in what it can provide. So if you're not actively running regularly or need some encouragement this is it. Either lock in a solo run. Commit. And or come along to our weekly rub club, every Monday 6am leaving from Ozone Coffee on Walker Street.

During my run this morning, I felt incredibly grateful for the opportunity to run, not everyone has that ability and it was a moment of reflection. The added by product was the creativity I experienced as well as the general confidence, clarity and energy.

As we're all trying to figure out life, I'm big on experimenting while sharing the journey and this is something that delivered a high ROI this week so I thought I'd share it.

See you Monday 6am? Rain or shine, it's on.
