Episode 20: Share the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

In this episode I talk about posting online, on social media, the good bits, the bad bits, and the bits you don't want anyone to see.

The purpose is to display and model vulnerability and authenticity. Other people are attracted to honest and authentic people. So you need to share not only the good bits, but some honesty and share some not so good bits.

Key topics:

- How to share bad bits in context,

- Why share the bad bits,

- Share when you've gone good and proud of your work,

- Someone people won't like it, but they can always un-follow, don't let that deter you from sharing and growing online.

Episode 19 - Expand Your Thinking

You only know what you know, and you don't know what you don't know.

This week's episode is about, when you're stuck in a problem and you need help, some times you need to put your ego to the side and ask for help.

Sometimes, you need to take accountability of your actions, apologise when you know you've made a mess of things, and take action and find people to help you solve the problem.

Sometimes, you only need to talk through your challenges with someone who is willing to lend an ear and not offer solutions.

key topics:

- You only know what you know, so ask for help when you can't find a solution.,

- Don't don't what you don't know, so surround yourself with people who bridge your gap in your knowledge, and

- Don't get into arguments, create allies to help when you need it.
