Strahan Coleman is a familiar name to many.  He is a singer/songwriter and more recently an author. Over the years having talked with Strahan, and through reading his books I have realised he is a pretty deep thinker.  As a result it only seemed natural to talk about some of his insights on the podcast.

I caught up with Strahan at his cabin on the Coromandel, after my workmate Nerida and I hit the road for a road trip.   Delving into his most recent book 'Beholding', Strahan and I talk about his journey with illness and navigating this with God. In particular we explore two insights from that time – silence and boredom and the importance of both in the in between.

Embracing Silence and Boredom in the in-between - Episode 5: Strahan Coleman

Life is short and the longer I live it I realise that there is so much time where I would rather be creating something beautiful rather than scrolling through social media. This thought got me wondering how do you cultivate a life of creativity and beauty in the in between space.  I thought I'd get an expert on the podcast to talk about just this.  Vicki Millar is a creative coach and musical theatre producer. She empowers others to understand their creativity through her business 'Creatives on Purpose'.

I met Vicki for the very first time in this conversation where we talked about how to cultivate creativity in the in between.

Cultivating Creativity in the in-between - Episode 6: Vicki Millar

I love a good 'to do' list, I also love to make a new year's resolution. However making lists and creating goals doesn't always mean you achieve them. I thought this would make a great conversation.

About 19 years ago when I first started my job at Rhema Media I undertook a series of questions and tests looking at gifts and talents. This is where I first met Brian Noble of Achievement Discoveries.  The results showed me that while my spatial awareness was terrible, I actually had a great ear for music, and pretty good idea speed. Understanding these gifts and talents helped me to narrow down and cultivate goals that fit me.

Brian Noble from Achievement Discoveries joins me In this conversation where we talk about creating goals and discovering our dreams in the in-between.
