Off The Lead

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.

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...

This is one continuous recording that took me 8 minutes and 10 seconds to make (plus about 1 hour of writing the 'lyrics').Let me know what you think because it's your engagement that fuels this whole thing.

Giuli and I delve into the world of evolutionary genetics, racism, identity politics, American history, hunting, psychology, writing, the scouts, and much much more! {I'm beginning to see a trend here}.Between being born of Peruvian parents, growing up in Florida, moving to Texas and then subsequently travelling the world, Giuli has had a very different life than say I've had, so it was great gett...

Apologies for the radio silence but between herself going into labour and someone having the bright idea of moving the arctic circle down a little I've had too much chaos and not quite enough order to make and upload anything. Check out (and like!) the Off The Lead Facebook page for more details! Stay off the lead,Fran.imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informat...

Get out into that snow with your mates or your kids or by yourself! Don't miss this opportunity! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I cover a lot of ground here (theology, the bible, balance, belief, reality, emotions, creativity, purpose, meaning, and lots lots more)and need feedback from as many of you as possible, if possible? Once you've given it a listen you'll know what I'm after. Stay off the lead,Fran.imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Don't let the accompanying photo put you off, I'm only using it to show you what you should avoid. THIS IS NOT NEWS.Today I strive to make amends for missing yesterday and try and advise myself in order for history not to have to repeat itself. We don't have to keep making the same mistakes we've been making our whole lives. We're in control, were steering the ship or at least we fucking should be...

Buckle yourself in, this is good one! Come for the Conspiracy Theories and stay for the honesty, logic, rationality, insight and well articulated critical thinking. Ruari has some Off The Lead and Off The Wall thoughts on lots of topics, 'some' of which include flouride, nano particulates, geo engineering, global warming, paedophilia, 'The Ruling Class' (aka 'they') and lots lots more! Bearing tha...

This is a quiet one. The beauty of having commited to 40 days straight is that it has forced me out of my comfort zone. So this one is very different as is apparent from the start. So make sure to let me know your thoughts, is this approach or something similar something you'd like to hear more of? Remember, you're the one stearing the ship, so ask yourself, where are you headed? Stay off the lead...

Back on track with this one. I've found the last few a bit laboured but this ones sure to be more to your liking! I give you a sneak peak down the 'Free Will' rabbit hole and what my thoughts are about when I'm going to be uploading future episodes. Get involved and help me improve what I'm doing in real time!

This one gets a bit deep so I hope you like it! In other news, I've heard from a few of you regarding the solo podcasts being uploaded in the evening not being ideal. I'm inclined to agree with you so will strive to get them up every morning and maybe pre record them to facilitate this. Either way it just goes to show how this whole thing is being guided by the listeners so thanks again to everyon...

8 days in lads and I'm hearing from more and more people who are doing pushups and getting the fuck after it so fair play! In this episode I speak of a chance encounter with a guy I went to school with. I hadn't seen him in 14 odd years and during our bearly 5 minute long chat he was instrumental in my starting Off The Lead. Don't underestimate the consequences and repercussions of your actions! S...

7 days out of 40 lads (and lassys) so how's your 40 day challenges going? If you havnt started.....start now? If you have, fair fuckin play t'ya! Here I speak of how by being more conscious of how we spend our money we can effectively change our society. I also expand slightly on the idea of Dragons representing our darkest emotions as a penultimate predator and how we are all at the mercy of our...

I've thoroughly enjoyed all the conversations that I've had, but think this one could be my favourite. Anthony treats us to a much more comprehensive view of not only the mythological stories, but of their purpose, and meaning. On an island {Ireland} that has largely lost its faith in both our spiritual and political 'leaders', Anthony might say that salvation of sorts can be found by looking inwa...

Today I speak briefly about the utility of friends and how they serve to challenge and push you along your journey, and you them. The idea that there are two seperate systems in your brain that 'manage' your motivation and the utility of having a heaven to strive for and a hell to avoid. I've also commited to writing a short bio. Something that I highly recommend you do too. Yes, you. I'll post it...

Workin on a fuckin Sunday. Jesus wept. I continue on slightly with the idea of incremental improvements, which led me to briefly lay out what a 'positive feedback loop' is, who I'm going to be speaking to in the coming week and 'credibility', something that's there's both too much of and not enough of in equal measure. As always, thank you for listening, liking, sharing, subscribing, commenting et...
