Off The Lead

I've asked myself, "why do I do what I do?" Or "Why am I doing things the way I do them?". And the answer is some variant of, "That's like asking why am I who I am?".It's just me folks. For good or for bad. Just me. I do this whole Off The Lead 'thing' for selfish reasons. And I'm relatively proud of that. Because I'm a firm believer in leading by example. And I'd love to continuously encourage pe...

What does wanting to eat chocolate but knowing that it's bad for you have to do with foxes? You've guessed it, mountain lions. Our soul wants the feeling it gives us, but our mind knows the consequences of over indulgence. Which begs the question, do carnivorous have minds?

In relation to orbits, I could have explained the complexities of the spacetime continuum, the direction of time, gravitational waves and matters effects on all of the above. But I didn't. I talked about cannonballs being fired until they fell all the way around the world. In this episode I try to convey the concept that analogys are intellectual shortcuts to your soul. As always, I can be contact...

Today I get stuck into an old friend of mine, 'anxiety'.We're often too busy to see the, "wood for the trees" or "the big picture" etc etc and it's because we're too caught up I our own bulshit to see what's actually happening. I published over 1,000 minutes of content in February and there was me worrying about not doing enough. Don't do this to yourself. Write down the things that are making you...

Bernard's a personal trainer/coach {we get into the difference a little}, a businessman, an 'adventure racer' and a doting dad to name but a few. We get into what he's learned over the years, how he's dealt with Covid, what having a baby during lock-down is like, who he helps as a coach and how, and generally dive into his whole philosophy. Check out 'bernardsmyth1' on instatgram and www.ultimatec...

We're on the front lines lads buckle up!!!Censorship scares the shit out of me and although on one hand I think it's great, on the other hand I suppose I just don't trust whoever's doing the censoring.

Astronauts floating in empty space, aeroplanes taking off by themselves and of course formula 1 cars. This episode has it all!!!**At least from my perspective it does. Ayooooo!!!!Relative links;Glider pilot flying, but not moving https://youtu.be/Asc1RhU3hn4Plane taking off by itself https://youtu.be/IPOtDPHjW-YAs always if you're enjoying this content and you'd like to support me you can do so vi...

Our minds read books and our souls read situations. Are carnivorous animals more thoughtful and herbivorous animals more soulful? What does that mean for us omnivores?

There's just nothing worse than when you try and have a conversation with someone only for it to become apparent that they don't know how to accurately conceptualise orbits. Nothing worse. In this episode I discuss orbits and use the horizon to describe how God exists. If you're enjoying my content and want to get involved I can be contacted via imoffthelead@gmail.com and supported financially thr...

Hedgeschools were 'democratising knowledge' before it was cool! I briefly get to grips with the "collective unconscious" (I'll most likely do one on this specifically soon) and try to draw an analogy between Tiger Woods and Albert Einstein and ask the question, who would've had a better podcast? The answer, people who love golf would prefer Tiger Woods' and people who prefer general relativity wou...

I've spoken before about mining our own data with the view of putting it in sequence and making it "in-formation".Here, I put 2 things I've known for ever together. Namely that our education system (and indeed our political system) is a disgusting mess and that that's the way it is so you'd better get the fuck on with it. The idea being, that just because something is terrible, doesn't mean that y...

"Intimacy". I heard this word mentioned during something I was watching last night and it made me think about how intimate this podcast is. Think about it, talk about 'fly on the wall'. This is more 'fly on the wall of the inside of my skull'!I also pose the question, "how are you going to hit something without aiming at it".Also, is it just me or is there something really creepy about the thumbna...

Note, I reference a second picture in this episode so if you want to see it you'll have to check out the 'Off The Lead' facebook page or the 'OffTheLeadOfficial' Instagram. While you're there you might consider giving me a review, it'd be greatly appreciated! If I'm asked to explain 1 thing more than anything it's bullets, there's barely a day goes by I don't hear someone say, "when are you going...

Another podcast, another masterpiece. You really are being spoiled. Today I try and get through 'perspective' and use why we don't eat Pike, but we do eat trout, to explain it. I also mention how we humans are bottom feeders living on the skyfloor. Obviously. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Oi!!! Picasso, eat your fucking heart out pal! Today I try and turn a negative into a positive (these days, if you can't do that, you're fucked).Ever wonder why it's so cold and wet during winter? If so, this episode is for you. As always I can be contacted on imoffthelead@gmail.com and supported on www.patreon.com/offthelead Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"Hijacking the machinery" is something I've been obsessing over of late. I'm all ears for examples of where you think you've seen examples of this. If you have any and you're looking to give me dig out you can send them to imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Creating the circumstances for success is what I think we should be focusing on, moreso than what we need to do to achieve our goals. Time to pull back and appreciate the bigger picture. Reducing the amount of food you eat will make you hungrier. Not exactly a good strategy if you're looking to loose weight. Eating more protein rich food will fill you quicker and for longer, so eat more so you're...

I do love a good analogy and here I try to draw one between forest fires and not eating sweets during lent. Big shout out again to those supporting me on www.patreon.com/offtheleadAs always I can be contacted on imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Which is more important, to be soulful, or intellectual? Where should you stand politically, on the left, or the right? I'm going to contest that the above two questions are analogous to the following...Which is more important in the production of the colour green, yellow, or blue? The point I'm labouring to make here is that you can't have 1 without the other. Which in turn begs the question, do...

Ho boy. I start to get into our political divide. I'm not sure how controversial anything I've had to say recently has been but my soul is telling me that what I'm addressing here is bound to piss some people off. To be clear, I don't care. I've no problem being vilified for views that I hold. If you want to get into any of this with me the best way is via email imoffthelead@gmail.com Hosted on Ac...

This is how I'm beginning to conceptualise the 2 sides of our divided mind;Religion Vs Science. Soul Vs Ego. Getting it Vs Knowing it. Art Vs Facts. Subjective Vs Objective.

Your conscience doesn't speak English. It 'speaks' using feelings. I try and convey the difference between science and religion and how they are non overlapping magisteria. I also get into how instinct, consciousness and the 'soul' are either inextricably linked, or straight up the same fucking thing! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
