Description

Hey friends — coming at you from Sydney, where I’ve spent way too much time indoors today. Seriously, it was 4:30 PM before I even saw daylight. Not ideal. My Oura Ring told me my readiness score was 52 — yikes — but I rallied, stretched, ran a webinar for a great cause (the St. Vinnies CEO Sleepout!), and then hit record on this episode.

Today’s chat is a mixed bag of reflections, rants, and revelations:

• 💻 The underestimated productivity cost of working with a small laptop screen while travelling (IYKYK) — why screen real estate matters more than we think.
• 🎧 How I ran a fundraising masterclass for the CEO Sleepout and offered a cool twist on fundraising incentives (hint: give $50, get the replay!).
• 🧠 The art of frameworks + AI = smarter workflows and reusability magic.
• 📖 Why you don’t need 2,500 stories to be a great communicator — just 5 solid ones, told well and linked cleverly to your message.
• 🎤 The behind-the-scenes of DJ-ing your own Zoom session and why hosting + facilitating + producing at once is no joke.
• 🖥️ My low-key obsession with figuring out a portable screen setup for hotel life.

If you want to grab the webinar replay, just head to the CEO Sleepout page and drop a $50 donation under my name.

And if you’ve got recs for portable dual-screen setups or want to rant with me about hotel tech setups, I’m all ears.
