Ep. 47 - Learning from another lockdown

Gines and Matt chat about being in lockdown 6.0. This year feels slightly different from last year as it has been lockdown on lockdown off. They chat about how they are doing with it individually. Gines chats about the lockdown building resilience and agility due to the necessity. As a leader, it the constant on and off lockdowns forces you to be quick to be able to take advantage of the market. Gines mentions that his races have been cancelled due to the lockdowns, and how he is struggling to keep motivated to train even there is no certainty the next race will happen. Also, they chat about being a leader in this time, that they need transparency and unfaltering hope. It is important to acknowledge where you are at and do it well. But that pity party does not have to last. Like episode 7 - Pandemic Mindset, it is important how you choose to use your time at the moment. It is like standing in the rain and pretending it is not raining. You have to acknowledge it is raining. The longer you try and change the rain, the heavier the storm gets. You need to find ways to enjoy the glimmers and parts of being in the rain, as the rain is not changing Currently, there is so much value in finding ‘your thing’ and experimenting what brings you joy. Remember to play, as play brings joy and play for the sake of play. There is so much we can learn from children to purely just enjoy what we currently have.
