Connecting the Dots
Welcome to "Connecting the Dots," a podcast where each episode is a journey through the weeks of our lives. Last year, I embarked on a personal project, "My Life in Weeks," documenting weekly milestones with a simple dot on a wall planner. This year, I'm diving deeper into the world of podcasting by connecting with intriguing people who also prioritise infusing their lives with positive experiences. Each week, I chat with a guest about their "week" or "dot," sharing stories, challenges, and triumphs. We explore how these moments shape our paths and discover the power of connecting the dots together. Join us to find inspiration in everyday lives and perhaps add more good things to your own life along the way.
Connecting the Dots
Connecting the Dots(mini)...with a boat full on people (Quantum of the Seas)
This week, I’m taking a break on a cruise but still finding ways to connect. I ran into an old family friend, Reese, who influenced my journey in business and fitness. Plus, I met YouTubers Rob & Ali from Cruise and Travel, a channel I followed when I first started cruising!
Coming up: A mountain climber, a coffee & retail expert, and more great conversations. Until then—cheers from the ocean!
Welcome to week 41 of Connecting the Dots. And this is a mini episode, but mainly because of this. I'm out here on a cruise boat, so I've got a weekend off from everything. But I still wanted to record a little video about my Connecting the Dots, because I'm still connecting with people that I wouldn't normally connect with, even though I'm not doing an interview. One of them's my dad had one of his best mates, Reese, ran into him on the cruise. Totally random, sat with him, chatted to him for 30 minutes. It was really good to catch up with somebody that was, I knew when I was growing up as a teenager and he was, he wouldn't know this, but he was influential in my growing up and learning about being an active person and being a business owner and understanding that cash flow was king. So it was really cool to see him. Byron that's been on my Connect the Dots videos before, he's on the boat so we got to see him. When I started cruising a couple of years ago, I looked up some YouTube videos to understand about what do I need to know about cruising and the boat I went on first, which was the Luminosa. And I came across a YouTube channel of Rob and Ali Cruise and Travel, I think they're called. And I just ran into them, literally ran into them. They're on the boat filming. He had his little same camera as mine. So it was good to connect with him in real life. He's a real person. so I might try and get them on. This at some point and chat to them about, you know, behind the scenes of what they do and what they, what they do when they're not cruising. coming up, I've got a mountain climber, a little big rig guy. That'll make sense when I get him. I've got a coffee and retail guru. so I'm looking forward to some of the conversations I've got coming up in the future, but for now, I've got a whole lot of ocean, a whole lot of bar, and that's week 41 of connecting the dots while I'm 49, and that means 50's coming up soon. I'm turning 50 this year, not sure I'd, yes, anyhow, the bar's that way.
