Welcome to Episode 31 of my podcasts The view from the crow's nest, which at the moment just feels like a bit of a journal, more than anything else because I'm almost living Groundhog Day. And today, would have been a day of working on grip the sky, but HSBC a bank in the UK froze my account without telling me, and that caused all sorts of problems and I have spent an hour and a half on the phone to them and blah blah blah and between that and other things, meant that I had about half an hour to work on grip this guy experience, and I say one that thing done if you've listened to my podcast at all in the last 30 days you'll know that that is just, it's a bottleneck that's stopping everything else from progressing. But I did in that half an hour I did manage to make some progress, which is very good. So I'm, I'm pretty close now to actually sorting out all the technical issues. And once I finished that I've got tiny bit more content to add, and then be ready so any any day now, any day I'll be done. And so yeah, that's, that's that had my third personal training session this morning, and he upped the ante. It was a lot of press up based exercises. Probably about 45 minutes of doing press up based exercises. But it felt good. It felt good I was, you know, I was able to get through them. I didn't pass out I didn't feel like I was gonna pass out so that's encouraging. And it's funny that you know I'm working towards doing, you know, eventually, doing handstands and handstand push ups and you know all these things and by the time I get to them I'm 39 now so by the time I get to them I'll be in my 40s, and it will be. It'll be quite an achievement for myself and pat on the back I think if and when I get to that point that you know only took it up in my 40s more or less so just shows you can start anything at any time if you, you know if you put your mind to it. Of course, I haven't finished it in terms of I haven't done those handstand push ups. So let's see if I get to them first and then I can be happy with myself actually I'm happy with myself now anyway because I'm on the path to getting more healthy. That's it, that's me done, it's, it's a short and sweet one. Once again, even shorter than yesterday I got nothing to share I started a new book, I started a new book, I was reading Pamela Slim's body of work, I've got about a third of the way through it and I think I'm gonna have to put it to the side for a bit because it's just boring frankly not telling me anything new. But I have just started reading, making ideas happen by somebody who I can't see on my Kindle doesn't really help does it Scott Belsky Scott Belsky. The idea being that it is very easy, more or less to come by in whatever fashion, but the difficulty is in making them happen, which is definitely my, you know, one of my weaknesses over the years, and something that I'm really trying to work on different you know getting different ideas in excuse the pun. So the irony, so that I can start bringing things through to completion including this damn grip the sky experience. But, yes, so basically I can start producing a lot more, and ideally start getting some of these ideas out into the world, because I have so many but they're all sat there. So, I am 17% of the way into this book, and I think if I remember correctly, he breaks it down into three things. The first one is, you need to be organised and structured. Things are action steps and things like that. The next one is something about community I haven't gotten to it yet. And the next the third part is leadership so I think he said he interviewed and followed with his company and whatnot thousands of creative people successful Creative People and found that these are the three commonalities organisation community, and leadership, not sure exactly in what ways I will report back when I have more information, but that's, that's where he's at. That's where I'm at. So, let's see. Outside of that, I'm still ploughing th
