Where's Olly? Episode Five Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

THE Christmas Special to top all Christmas specials! What a year 2020 has been. So, we thought we'd round it off with one of the strangest episodes to date. On this episode of Where's Olly? we are joined by none other than Santa Claus himself, live and direct from a studio somewhere in California and it's safe to say lockdown has not been kind to Mr Claus. Olly and Davi do a review of 2020, get a Tinder update from Leo, take a bunch of listener questions and lots more... Get your own message from Santa! https://www.fiverr.com/rickeybird

#108 Matt Macduff Dec 16, 2020

Show notes

On this episode of the Gettin' Booked series Matt Macduff and Davi sit down to discuss Steven Pressfield's book, The War Of Art.

In my opinion this is one of the most important books I've ever read and, this could be one of the most fun and thought provoking podcasts I've ever recorded. During the episode we break down what 'resistance' means to us and the ways it has presented it's self in our lives, how we have worked to over come it, fear, un-lived potential and stepping out of our comfort zones. Of course, Matt's shares the details of his latest Title MTB film too and why this latest project meant so much to him. The next book we will be reading is 'Mindset by Carol S Dweck' and it's available on the link below which, helps support your local book shop. https://www.hive.co.uk/Product/Dr-Carol-Dweck/Mindset---Updated-Edition--Changing-The-Way-You-think-To-/20476048
