Mind the GapSeason Two Begins: From the Stoics to Emotional IntelligenceIn this pivotal episode of Mind the Gap, host Michael Comyn marks the beginning of Season Two with a thoughtful shift in focus, from the ancient wisdom of the Stoics to the modern science of Emotional Intelligence.
Why pivot now? Because life is constantly changing, so should our perspective.
Stoicism offered a powerful foundation, emphasising perception, control, and resilience. Emotional Intelligence builds on that with tools for navigating today’s fast-paced, emotionally complex world.
Michael revisits his discovery of Stoicism while running fear-of-flying courses, and connects that experience to the early science of Em...2025-07-2608 min
Mind the GapStoic Portraits: Musonius Rufus, the Practical PhilosopherKnown as the teacher of Epictetus, Musonius Rufus was much more than a footnote in Stoic history. In this bonus Stoic Portrait, we meet a voice of quiet rebellion. Exiled more than once by emperors, Musonius insisted that philosophy must be lived, not just spoken. He taught that self-discipline builds strength, that discomfort trains the soul, and that women deserve an equal education in reason and virtue.
This five-minute reflection examines how Musonius applied Stoic principles to everyday life, including food, marriage, work, and hardship. His lessons remain startlingly modern and deeply humane.

Mind the GapBonus Episode: Letters to the Living – SenecaHow do you live wisely in a world that rewards ambition but punishes honesty?
In this five-minute reflection, Michael Comyn explores the contradictions and clarity of Seneca, the Roman statesman who advised emperors, amassed wealth, and still warned us not to waste a single moment.
Through his letters, Seneca teaches not perfection, but progress. Not isolation, but inward retreat. His message is clear: life is short, not because of time, but because of how we spend it.
If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll get to that later,” this episode is your gentle r...2025-07-2003 min
Mind the GapThe Case for Stoicism: Beyond the StereotypesIs Stoicism just a cold refusal to feel? A productivity trend for tech bros? A philosophy of passive acceptance?

From the turbulence of anxious minds to the quiet clarity of Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius, Michael explores what Stoicism offers: not detachment, but steadiness. Not indifference, but dignity. And certainly not an excuse to do nothing.
Drawing on ancient...2025-07-1911 min

Propaganda isn’t just a relic of history—it’s alive and well, shaping how we think, vote, and engage with the world.

On Comyn GroundAviate, Navigate, CommunicateDoing some aviation revision today I came across a phrase used by pilots everywhere - when in doubt - aviate, navigate and communicate.

On Comyn GroundDon't Eat the PizzaDon't eat the Pizza. That's the advice from a buddy of mine. He likes to regularly share that advice when the topic comes around to corporate culture and work-life balance. Ten months of working from home and the internet is busy debating the idea of work-life balance or life-work balance; you get the idea. I have to admit that I've always had difficulty with that phrase and even the thought of it. Once upon a time - Time management was King. It was a silver bullet.

On Comyn GroundSorry you are on mute.One more Zoom or teams call and once again someone on the call has to be reminded that they are on mute. It's one of the bear traps of the online communications world we now inhabit. On a recent call, I was intrigued to see a contributor chatting away on mute, and it seemed nobody was going to tell them - for an experiment I held back from being the one to say it - just how long would it be before someone said something.

On Comyn GroundLearning how to have a fight - the power of psychological safety.Once upon a time, not too far from where I am sitting, there was a Bronze age settlement. Nearly 3,000 years ago - people came together in sophisticated groups and shared skills and labour to survive. Powerful families and groups were in constant competition with each other vying for power, and what most of these potential leaders offered was safety. If you were pitching for a leadership position back then, you were most likely offering physical strength, cunning and access to allies and resources. And so long as you delivered - you got to...2020-11-2905 min

On Comyn GroundDefaulting on the Emotional ContractOn Thursday last, after seven online meetings on four different platforms, followed by a 2-hour night class - I tried to sit and eat some food - and bang, a wave of anxiety washed over me. We're resilient, robust, strong, brave, creative. But we're also running out of steam, becoming weary and exhausted."When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves"—that's a quote from Viktor Frankl, an Austrian Holocaust survivor, neurologist, psychiatrist and author.

On Comyn GroundThe Permission Givers.This episode is not the one I set out to do. At first, I was going to write a letter to all the bullies I've met along the way. Give them a piece of my mind and share the wisdom of hindsight - say the things I wish I had said at the time when they made me feel crap. And then I thought f*ck it- No!These men and women may have rationalised their behaviour in their own minds and put it down to being tough, hard players in the business...2020-11-1503 min
On Comyn GroundHey guys does anyone have any thoughts on this ? Yeah , grow a pair and make a decision!At some point in your career, you may end up working for the Wizard of Oz. They're easy enough to recognise. Nice, enthusiastic, benevolent even, but when you pull back the curtain all is revealed. The mythology of the famous 1930's film sees Dorothy and her companions off along the yellow brick road in search of the great and powerful leader - the Wizard. In many organisations, from multi-nationals to academia and beyond, there are wizards too. They are promoted to the lofty ranks through increments, length of service, historic successes or...2020-11-1404 min
On Comyn GroundThe Manager that cries wolf!It's funny how the metric of putting in the hours is still seen as a measure of commitment, and I have to admit I'm more impressed by the person who gets the job done that someone who puts in the hours. Since Covid and working from home became the norm, the clock watchers have had it easier.If you're a manager, and you don't define the difference between a genuine crisis and a manufactured one, your team will quickly tire of your motivational technique. To be fair, you may be driving your team...2020-11-0903 min

You've heard them all, that meaningless guff that some people use to make themselves sound like they possess a fluency in corporate-speak that makes them feel like they belong.Jargon is infectious, someone uses a phrase at a meeting, someone else likes the sound of it, and it spreads like a virus, and no amount of hand washing will stop it in its tracks. ...2020-10-3105 min

On Comyn GroundThe FearOne of the more weird experiences of the last seven months has been the return of the fear. Now if you grew up in Ireland, the fear is a phenomenon all of its own and refers to that feeling you get the morning after that you have said or done something under the influence of alcohol that you will later regret.For others it was that wave of anxiety that appeared out of nowhere on a Sunday evening, triggered by the music of a TV Series called Glenroe - that you were ill-prepared for...2020-10-2602 min
On Comyn GroundThe End of the Micro ManagerWorking from Home?Could this current pandemic see the end of another phenomenon? The Micro-Manager. My late father was never one to hide an opinion and shared a great deal of ire for a particular type of manager, the one who would call a breakfast meeting. But spare a thought for the manager who previously would have regularly maintained a sense of being in control, by calling endless meetings. Having their people around them created a feeling of things getting done. Presenteeism indicated commitment. See acast...2020-10-2604 min
