Wow. That’s May over then. And with it, my successful attempt to record a podcast 5 days a week. At least, I think the numbers work out pretty much ok, as I’ve recorded 22 podcasts over 31 days.
I don’t care anyway as I’m happy with what I’ve managed to do, especially given that I am still working my way out from under a large rock of underwhelmitis.
So here you go – the fourth week of micro-podcasts – thanks to everyone who’s listened, commented or shared – it is very much appreciated.
If you’d like me to keep doing the podcasts well.. you’ll just have to listen to episode 22 to find out if I intend to or not.
Here’s the SoundCloud playlist of the most recent five episodes (full details of each episode are below/after the jump). Go here to catch up on all 22 of the blighters.
Episode 18 – It’s OK to say NO and the truth about introverts
I respond to feedback on previous podcasts which leads to a wide-ranging monologue on what it really means to be an introvert, the difficulty of making decisions when you’re not at your best, and some great advice on why it’s ok to say no and how to go about it.

Episode 20 – The sobering consequences of having screwed up

I take a break from (co-)working to sit in the sun and talk about oversharing.
