449: Minding My Own Business (Our First "Lost" Tools Chat)

Greetings! Today's episode is the first-ever chat with my friend and colleague Andrew Moss regarding the tools that we developed together as I was training to solo-hike across northern England in 2023.This was done as a LinkedIn live back in Winter 2025, and I hear a little bit of nervous energy in my voice as we get rolling in the conversation. I wonder if you'll hear that as well?Today we chat about a tool we call Minding My Own Business. This was, and continues to be even today, something I bring patience for myself with. When I am going through something, part of my brain is really challenged to mind its own business. Hope this is helpful if you're familiar with those moments too.You can look forward to a whole month worth of Tools Chats – “lost episodes”! We recorded them out over winter and spring 2025, and I’ve been really looking forward to the opportunity to get them to you.Hope you enjoy!* Would you like to be part of our final Tools Chat coming up in November 2025?
