You have to piss off 80% of people to reach your 20% - I have never forgotten Jane Wurwand, the Founder of Dermalogica, telling me that on the podcast years ago. The most dangerous place to be is a place of indifference. This must be your guiding principle for everything you create as a business and brand if you want to win the long game. This is how to create content that captures, engages and converts every single time. We use this principle for every single piece of content shared across every channel.

This is a RED FLAG, especially in marketing or creative roles. Divergent thinking is a opportunity not a fault. Attitude, willingness to learn, and drive are much more important indicators for us at Flight Group. There is a cost to conformity, and organisations prioritising exam scores over potential, will get left behind. Pursue employers who appreciate your unique value and don’t forget that your diverse skill set is one of your greatest assets. Do you agree? What’s your thinking here? Share your opinion below.

The things you never see before the 'success' - the failed attempts. If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate. Image @OzolinsJanis

That first step is the hardest - not in reality - but in psychology. Most of the conversations I have with people are about “first-step resistance” - once you’ve taken that first step and the momentum begins, soon things will begin to flow. Thanks to Nicolas Cole for the image.

Are you being dragged by life's circumstances or driven by your internal goals? 🤔 When you’re intrinsically motivated, you engage in an activity solely because you enjoy it and get personal satisfaction from it. When you’re extrinsically motivated, you do something in order to gain an external reward, such as money, recognition or in the avoidance of trouble, such as losing a job. And the science couldn’t be clearer on this, when our intrinsic desires lose, so do we. It’s clearly so unbelievably important to know what you actually want, who you actually are and to be able to tell the difference between the person the outside world wants you to be and the person your inside world has taken years for you to become.

This is how the Japanese Men’s team left the dressing room after their win at the World Cup in 2022 👏🏾 In 2018, they did the same thing and left a thank you note for the hosts in 3 languages. On top of this... photo's emerged of large groups of Japanese fans staying behind after the game to clean all of the stands. This isn't just a clean dressing room, it's a clear demonstration of values. It's a statement about respect, gratitude and attention to detail. The small things are the biggest indicator of the big things - your values. Huge respect for the Japanese national team and their wonderful culture, values and people.

Is masculinity in a crisis? In today’s episode, I sit down with writer and scholar Dr Richard Reeves. Richard is the Founder and President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, which is an organisation that researches and addresses issues affecting men in our modern society. In this conversation, we discuss: - The rising rate of male suicides. - Men’s mental health and masculinity. - The health benefits of marriage for men. - The toxic impact of Andrew Tate. And so much more! I used to believe - especially when I was in my early twenties, that I was invincible in terms of mental health. At that age I thought mental health issues were things that happened to other people. Eventually, I found out I was wrong! Your mental health is just as important as your physical health. This is a conversation that I hope invites others, but specifically men, to speak about their mental health and any struggles that they’re facing. Really look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Just because growth isn't always visible, it doesn't mean it's not happening. Comparing your journey to others is holding your potential hostage. Stay patient.
