**BEST OF**

It wouldn’t work to try to tell the Michael Bungay Stanier story - if anyone’s a collection of stories, it’s MBS. He finished law school being sued for defamation by his professor, he was a Rhodes Scholar in his early 20s, and he’s coached Brene Brown on her own podcast. 

A life and career with so many twists, turns and new directions brings with it an equally eclectic and overflowing bag of tips, tricks and mindset shifts, and Michael shares them generously. 

Michael covers everything from how to tackle multi-month projects, journaling techniques, honing your personal brand, and knowing when to say “no”.

How I Work

Trust doesn’t rebuild with one big apology. It grows back quietly - through small, consistent moments that prove you mean what you say. 

In this Quick Win episode, my teammate Aly Solly and I share how we rebuilt trust after one of Inventium’s toughest years. Together, we discovered that trust isn’t restored overnight - it’s rebuilt in small, deliberate ways that show care, honesty, and vulnerability. 

Aly and I discuss: 
The moment a leadership wellbeing survey sparked real vulnerability 
Why openness - when it feels uncomfortable - can transform a relationship 
How showing up consistently matters more than grand gestures 
The “ugly cry” call that turned a breaking point into a rebuild 
What to do when you’re trying to repair trust at work 

 

KEY QUOTES

“Trust doesn’t hinge on one big apology or grand gesture. It’s built through the small stuff - the check-ins, the honesty, the willingness to be vulnerable.” 

“You don’t wait for the perfect moment. You just start showing up consistently and with care.”

Quick Win: How to rebuild trust at work when its broken 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/18299f8b-ef0d-4bad-91f3-b38000514e3c/transcript

Every productivity guru will tell you the same thing: set realistic goals, or you're setting yourself up to fail. Jia Jiang did the opposite. He told the internet he'd sell 10,000 copies of his new book in 100 days, sold about 3,000, and is now going around calling it one of the best things he's ever done. 

He's not being delusional about it either. He'll tell you straight up that part of him wishes he'd hit the number. He just thinks failing loudly beats succeeding quietly, which might explain why only 9% of people who make a New Year's resolution actually stick to it. Most of us are setting goals to feel good for five minutes, not because we've figured out how to actually get there. 

In this episode, I sit down with Jia Jiang, the entrepreneur and speaker behind 100 Days of Rejection, a YouTube experiment that became a TED Talk with more than 10 million views. We talk about his new book, Easy Discipline, and how he turns huge, terrifying goals into something he can actually control day to day. 

If you have ever downgraded a goal so you wouldn't have to feel bad about missing it, Jia is about to make you rethink that entirely. 

Jia and I discuss: 
Why Jia deliberately sets goals so ambitious he is likely to miss them, and why a public near miss beats a comfortable target 
The one action goal: how to turn a big, uncontrollable ambition into a daily input you can fully control 
The inspiration index, the two numbers Jia tracks on every project, and why you need both the outcome and the input 
The Mover's Manual, and how changing his physical environment lets Jia get three to ten times more done in an afternoon 
Reverse AI: what happened when Jia started deliberately training himself the way AI models are trained 
The letter he wrote to Steven Bartlett after being turned down for Diary of a CEO, and why he published it anyway 

Key quotes 

"I'd rather fail my ambition publicly than letting it die inside privately." 

"When you are already rejected, you have nothing to lose. When you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear." 

Connect with Jia Jiang on Instagram, X (Twitter), LinkedIn and his website, read his newsletter on Substack, and check out his latest book Easy Discipline.

The two numbers that predict whether you'll actually hit your goal, with Jia Jiang 

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/fa326977-3de5-4283-9b8b-af3500c58607/clips/781fd1e2-0e8e-4a92-857f-b4ad001e3af4/transcript

AI might be saving you time, but if you don’t know what to do with that time, it’s not worth much. In this Quick Win, I’m joined by Dom Price, who spent 12 years as the Work Futurist at Atlassian. Dom shares a powerful reminder: saving time with AI is meaningless unless you know how to reinvest that time intentionally. After watching organisations roll out sophisticated AI tools without upgrading the human system around them, Dom explains why people often use their newfound hours poorly - and how a single, deliberate question can transform the return you get from AI.  

Dom and I discuss: 
Why organisations focus on AI tools but forget the human system that actually uses them  
The surprising behaviour Dom saw when teams became “35 percent more productive” - including a huge spike in meetings  
What happens when people gain time but aren’t guided on how to use it 
The small mindset shift that helps you reinvest saved time more wisely 
The reflection question that turns AI gains into genuine value: What’s the most valuable thing I can do with this time?  

KEY QUOTES 

“I don’t care what you saved. I care what you did with it.”  

“Take a moment before filling that space. Ask yourself: what’s the most valuable thing I can do with this time?”
