Big French Energy with Matteo Grand

It’s halfway through the year. A lot has happened, but it feels like just the beginning. This week, Matteo and I sat down to record a chat, reflecting on Juneuary from our new, empty home in Sydney. After 15 months in living limbo, it feels wildly significant. Like a big exhale.We began the month in the South of France, our favourite pocket of the world. I was clinging to that trip like a lifeline. Matteo was carrying it like a weight. And yet, we both found it unexpectedly freeing. On the pod, we talk about how stepping away can bring you back to yourself. The confidence I found walking through Paris alone. The unexpected peace Matteo felt turning on his out of office. The perspective that distance can offer.Now that we’re back home in Sydney. The question is, how do you hold onto the feeling you found far away? How do you weave that freedom, that clarity, that spark, into your everyday life?I loved this chat. I hope you do, too.JYK 🤍Show notes:Listen to Cmon by Fred Again.. & Brian Eno.Eat a croissant from Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Terroirs d'Avenir.Listen to David Senra talk about Focus.Find your One Word.Sign up to my newsletter.For anything else email [email protected] :)
