'In The Room' - Review 52 shows - Part 1
Review S1E52 This episode is the first of two parts reviewing the first 51 episodes. Our conversation was about something that came up in our minds and we went through all that the emotion that had built, in the stresses and anxieties for something that does not exist. Garvin expresses his fear of being stuck in Groundhog Day. We have the courage now to recognise our fears and put them behind us. It is hard to believe that we have been going 52 episodes, Co-hosting on a podcast. 26 hours of talking passionately about subjects we are interested in. Having opinions...

Area 51
Area 51 - What's there? What's not? An "Unusual Forced Offering" some might say. Or is it that "Alien" a subject? Garvin and I do a virtual tour of Area 51, with some of the wacky ideas that we have formulated. Like going through time in different directions, remembering past experiences, and then remembering future experiences to draw ourselves closer and closer. Garvin realises he is not the president of the free world or Captain Kirk. And we get muddle to which century we are currently in, that’s how potent Area 51 is. We may have to tur...

Any Road Will Do
Any Road Will Do S1E50 We may not know what path or what road we want to take, but we are not too scared to just go. We can randomly pick one and see what happens. Then we may change if we need to. If it is not the right path and it is taking us away from where we wanted to go. Then we can swap over, take a trunk road, go up and down a side lane until we get on to the right track. None of us know where we are meant to...

Show Me The Money!
Show Me The Money S1E45 In this episode, Garvin and I talk about understanding your target audience so that you can build up a relationship with them. Then you will be able to understand what they want, what their needs are, and why they will engage with you. And if you are a writer, what they want is to watch the stories that you are telling, and that's why you need to understand your target audience. Garvin reminds us that he does not want you to show him the bill but to: “Show me the money”.

Inspiration
Inspiration S1E48 “Someone has to win the day, but not necessarily the war,” remarks Garvin. “We keep on fighting the war because if we don’t, we're dead.” Garvin sees conversations as battles, ones full of entertainment, information, and education. All through meeting new people. This is the inspiration, and we are planning the future looking for the next person to join us and win them over. And when you win them over you've gone and made friends and influence people. Potentially being left with a relationship that will develop in the future. A comrade at arms. A ne...

Then if you know what they want, you will probably get more out of them than you would if you just going very, very cold. “Is it still there with you, Garvin?” “I've no plug to power it, but what if the camera still doing?” “Is the camera still going?” “ Yeah, well it's still going till it's red.” “We’ll continue until it dies.” “This could be a...

Be The Leader - Others Will Follow S1E46 We are driven but we might get burned out. It's not because we're not turning upon us, or because we don't believe, and it's not because we don't have a dream or vision. It's actually the dream is getting bigger, the visions getting bigger. We need to narrow it down and decide what's achievable with the resource to hand. Can we get someone else to value the dream? Does anyone else understand our vision? Can we get anyone else to join us on a journey to Oz? Now...

The Third Person
The Third Person. In this episode, Gavin and I talk about how we are expanding and part of what we have been talking about is the relationship we have been building up. And we feel a bit of anticipation because we are looking at the potential of having a third person join our little team. Part of that process is developing the relationship with them and how to build up connections in the work, to sort out mental health issues. We are both learning as we continue this journey of self-discovery in the work of business, filming...

And this is an opportunity to reset things.” I think after any major kind of situation in the world, what starts to happen is that peop...

Remember, simplicity is highly complex so don’t undervalue based on what you're hearing about your perception of it.

Garvin attempts to contextualize the art of scriptwriting and how backstories are often missed. He was struggling to picture the scene confusing a castle with the Death Star. George got stuck on Anglo-Saxon names that were peppered with Europeans. Garvin gasped at all the CGI that he could see coming out of George’s mouth and began to psychoanalyse George’s motives.

We have wacky ideas of ourselves being these two famous guys, or at least in their own minds, or is it infamous?

Often you will have to make yourself uncomfortable to see what’s right. Quite often we have to recognise that gut feeling.

All the ideas have been there before, reflecting on the words of Albert Einstein. He knew, he worked in a patent office and saw everything that was out there. It's all about tweaking the language so you can manage the context, or is it content? It all gets emotional or at least raises some anxieties.

Empathy is in short supply and only earned through trust and even then with prior notice of any future ailments that may require his intervention and or assistance. George on the other hand has empathy in overabundance, after all, he has a direct line to the universal flow and the higher deities within and is pretty sure that everything will be all right on the night and just work...

Enjoy it.” George has spent his life directing others but are the signs now saying, “let them direct themselves.” Everyone is on a journey and only they can know the answer to the questions poses. The core of mentoring, coaching, and counselling is to allow self-exploration and self-discovery. George’s student wanted him to give the answers but instead, he replied, “That...
