🌴 30. Big ideas + bubbles, feat. Dr Maike Neuhaus and Petra Zink

Look, as a solo business owner, I spend heaps of time in my own head—and I enjoy it! But here’s the thing: nothing speeds up clarity and fresh thinking like being around people who just get it.This episode is a little different. I recorded it straight after a strategy session with my friends Petra Zink and Dr Maike Neuhaus.We meet up every 40–50 days in what’s become a bit of a ritual. It’s two hours of weird Post-it notes, provocative questions, and brainstorming, followed by two hours of good food and bubbles. In today’s unedited (well, mostly unedited) conversation, we talk about:The power of having a group of people who challenge your thinking and celebrate your wins.Why psychological safety is a game-changer for breakthrough moments.How to embrace controversial, edgy ideas in your content (spoiler: playing it safe gets you nowhere).Why sometimes you just need to ride the wave of uncertainty and let things unfold.We also dive into what it means to curate your own friendship groups, why LinkedIn feels a bit vanilla, and how sharing just 10% of the bold, authentic ideas we explore in private could completely change the game.Final takeaway: Be surrounded by people who challenge you, celebrate you, and help you reach your peak. Cheers to that—and enjoy the episode!🎙️ Let me know your thoughts!
