Off The Lead

In continuation from the last 'sales' episode I mention briefly the phenomenon of how what you say isn't necessarily what people hear. Something to think about the next time you're in the dog house with herself/himself etc. I also mention that I've fiddled with the settings of how I record the solo podcasts so it should stream/download 4 times faster and hoover up a quarter of your data from this...

I've tried to get guests on from different 'loops' as I call them. Different sports, occupations, experiences, preferences etc. And today I speak of one of my own loops, sales. Specifically a few sales tactics that I'm very aware of but presumably most people aren't. I also mention the idea of starting a blog, 'Off The Lead and in Writing'. Anyone with any tips on do's and dont's etc would be appr...

Today I spill the beans on my actions recently. Something happened which I think might resonate with a few of you and it'd be great to get some feedback. Is what I did what you might expect? Off the wall bat shit crazy or something else entirely? Maybe this is a well known phenomenon? Who knows. I don't! I also mention briefly the utility in being a wide achiever as opposed to a narrow one and thr...

Today I examine some feedback I received over the weekend. Namely that I swear too much, the van is too loud/annoying/distracting etc and that the conversations I've been having with people (and myself!) have been a nice break from the usual chatter we typically have with each other. I also announce an invitation to anyone who would like to join me on one of my deliveries to maybe discuss somethin...

Have you ever flown in or out of Dublin airport? Ever notice that a flight either takes off or lands every minute or so? Well Donal, as an air traffic controller sheds some light on what's going on behind the scenes that keeps us all safe in our ever busier skies. Donal then gives a very frank and honest account of his son Oscar's condition, Autism. By his own admission he is no expert or spokespe...

Really beginning to flesh out what the solo episodes are going to be moving forward. Me, examining what I am, to explain who I am, in order to dictate who I will become. And most importantly, doing so on my terms, not the listeners. So come join me. Or don't. Enjoy! (Or not)Fran.imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today I get to grips with what I'm at. Or at least try to. The solo episodes have sideblinded me to a certain degree and as I'm on the final stretch of the 40, I've started to really try and figure out what they are/will be. So, at this point at least, I feel like this episode is indicative of what's to come. Essentially just me, doing what I can to 'get out of my own way' and see where I take mys...

It's been a while. As I outline at the outset, I haven't been recording/uploading solo episodes for a while now due to the passing of herselfs dad. This inevitably led me to speak briefly about death. A topic unfortunately not discussed (At least in my circles) outside of the loss of someone, which I would argue is a great shame Given that it's coming for us all sooner or later. That being said, i...

Myself and Pat start things off by discussing language. Which is interesting because having listened to it back, that's what we end up talking about. In between, we cover the difference between 'mental health and 'emotional wellbeing', ethics, productivity, Jordan Peterson (Pat's not a fan) and even the differences between men and women. #TriggerWarningWe also manage to squeeze in mention of Pats...

Bangin' 'em out! Know anything about 'Facebook groups'? I'd love to hear from you, let me know any tips and tricks you might have in relation to how I can grow the Off The Lead 'community' and further the cause. User engagement is where it's at, I think! I had an unexpected visitor at around 20 minutes or so, some fella looking for directions, needless to say he doesnt know he's online for the wor...

40 podcasts in 40 days is so close I can smell it! Expect a flourish of solo episodes this week! In this episode my internal dialogue speaks of all things 'spin'. What we tell ourselves and the effect that this has on our lives and undoubtedly everyone around us. Our thoughts as well as our actions create the world we live in, so get yourself off the lead and take some control of your life! Though...

Have you ever watched a movie and as soon as it finished you wanted to watch it again? Well that's what this conversation was like. I thoroughly enjoyed making this recording but admittedly not as much as I did listening back to it. To say that joy is 'Off The lead' is to put it as mildly as it can be put. An extremely thoughtful character and someone I'd love to have back on again. And again. If...

Hold onto your knickers, this one skirts a few controversial topics, namely racism, bigotry, misogyny and babies not breathing. Hopefully this episode gives you food for thought, as is partly the whole point of these solo episodes. Hopefully it'll maybe help change your mind on a few things and hopefully you'll get to hear my mind being changed in real time sometime soon. Because I/we are wrong. A...

Twice in one day wha! Given that it wasn't 6am and I'd recorded 2 solo podcasts I thought I'd mention the utility in getting up earlier than usual. But also point out a trap or two that you can easily fall into having bitten the bullet and dragged your ass out of bed that bit earlier. I also outline 'extreme ownership' a philosophy of sorts laid out by a navy seal, Jocko Willink, who I highly reco...

Thought I'd bring you for a drive with me this morning, audio is a bit sketchy from about halfway through but just about good enough, not to be expected in future, call it teething problems. Aaaaaaanyway, hope your enjoying these solo episodes and if you are, you know what to do!imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Finally pulled my finger out and set up my Patreon page! All I have to do now is sit back and count the cash! Lawl! Today I talk about following the path of least resistance and how doing so will leave you festering in a sea of shit. I also talk about supporting what you want to see more of in this world and give an insight into where this whole Off The Lead 'thing' is headed. And I may have menti...

I'm back running and eating clean and it shows! Was in great form today and I think that's fairly evident from the start but it just goes to show.... YOU CREATE YOUR OWN REALITY!Will have a Patreon account set up by the end of the day so go and support what you'd like to see more of in this world. Stay off the lead,Fran.imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informa...

Back with a bang! Or maybe more of a thump...but back nonetheless! Today I give some insight into why the whole 'Podcast a day for 40 days' was somewhat doomed to 'fail' but I also speak of the utility in 'failing'.If you've joined the Blindboy Boatclub party (which you should) you'll be familiar with his 'podcast hug'. Well I'm more and more of the opinion that what my solo episodes are is a 'pod...

Darren is just your run of the mill everyday obsessive blogging bike racing bee keeper! We get things going by talking through how he was "absolutley bricking it" and discuss the utility of anxiety. From here we talk all things bike racing, but from a beginner's perspective, then blogging and finally bee keeping. A fascinating character to say the least who has opened up a couple of world's to me...

Today I had the pleasure of sitting down with an Irish martial arts legend and a man who's about as off the lead as it gets! Andy is a Brazillian Jiu Jitsu and Judo black belt as well as being the owner and founder of 'Team Ryano', one of Europe's top MMA gyms and a gent to boot! We cover where is gym is and has come from, as well as getting to grips with his philosophy as a coach/businessman/comp...
