This is a show about how to retrain your booze brain

BOOZE-FREE MAY-BE* 

I have been thinking about this a while and have decided that for the next month I am going to go alcohol-free*. I am calling it ‘Booze-Free May-Be’ and my reasons are 1 & many. 

#1. I am keen to reset my relationship with alcohol.

The Many (& side benefits to name but a few):

• Health & Wellness - I exercise a shit-ton and have in fact lost 5kg in the past 5-6 months. It makes me wonder how I'll look and feel without alcohol.
• Financial - obvs.
• Productivity - you've no doubt seen and heard me tell you what I achieve. Unbeknownst to most, I have set some hefty goals for myself over the past 4-5 months. Imagine a version of me and what I can achieve with better sleep and more energy! 

I am not posting this to impress anyone, that I think that a break from booze is special or that I am smashing a high volume of beers on a daily basis (okay that happens occasionally and definitely more-so on weekends ), however it has become all too easy for me to have a beer whenever I want and I generally have at least a couple every day.

I am in fact posting this as I want to be accountable to myself and from experience the best way to do it is to make yourself accountable to others. An entrepreneur that I interviewed once whilst studying a Masters of Entrepreneurship & Innovation**, by the name of Tom O'Toole, coined one of my favourite phrases that I've learned from someone else #DreamsWithDates. If you say it out loud, put a date/timeline on it and ensure that other people hear it, then you're accountable to them and to yourself to make it so!

I'm going to journal this for myself and record a podcast or two for the benefit of others. Let's do this!

Today’s solocast podcast comes in 3 parts:

• MARKETING FAIL: "I will give you exposure”.
• Crediting creative works - photography, videography and artwork.
• ANZAC Day. Learning about ANZAC Day as an Australian. What you can do.

"I will give you exposure”. Epic fail!

On today’s show I’m going to dive into one of the phrases I loathe most in the creative services industry and the English language "I will give you exposure”.

We cover off on the need for festivals/events, brands and anyone in the need for creative services, who might have little to no budget, to respect to time and value of creative. I also provide creatives with the top tips on how to ensure you give your time and experience value, when to say yes and when to say no to helping out people, brands or organisations who want your time for nothing.

Crediting creative works - photography, videography and artwork.

Part II of the show discusses the need for influencers, brands and anyone publishing the work of creatives, no matter what their creative skill level, to provide artistic credit for any works posted online and what it ultimately means for any photographers, videographers and others in the creative/artistic industries.

I also provide creatives with key advice and ways to ensure that you are credited for your work.

Learning about ANZAC Day as an Australian. What you can do.

The shortest part and the cherry on top of today’s show, we touch on the history of ANZAC Day, what it means to me and how you can get involved.

Bondi Beach-based street artist NOT NOT aka Cam Scott captured my attention and imagination last year with 'Digital Realities’ - his thought provoking street art series designed to have us individually to consider the impact of the behaviours and addictions that the major platforms and mobile phone technology are creating, breeding and feeding in society and our everyday lives. 

From our digital selves to clickbait compulsions, this is a fascinating exploration into the digital world and I loved having him on the show! We share our own individual techniques that we use for regular digital escape, Centre for Humane Technology’s approach to ‘“realigning technology with humanity’s best interests, the LIKE IRL project, how Cam Scott came to create his Sunnys Eyewear brand, ‘In Praise of Idleness’ and NOT NOT’s 2 key pieces of advice that he'd give to someone who has a dream, but is afraid to take that first step.

Super inspiring and fascinating chats with a highly intelligent, genuine, thoughtful and personable individual. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!

1. Dan Wilkinson Overview/Portfolio - Who I am and what I do.
2. Client Digital Content Strategy:1st Steps. Where Do We Begin?
3. Market Research, Digital Ecosystems & Platform Mix.
4. Our Approach To Social Media: Driving Business/Brand Objectives, Designing for the User Experience.
5. Best Practice Content Execution.
6. Distribution Through Advertising.

Boom! One of THE best podcasts that I’ve ever recorded and kick-ass chats with bass player of The Delta Riggs, Michael ‘Monte’ Tramonte.

We launch The Delta Riggs brand new single ‘Fake That’ and spend most of the show wading through the making Calabrese salami, Irish whiskey, Middletons & Matthew Broderick, the best pizza in Sydney, top tips for interview techniques when chatting to musos, travelling to Italy, Jim Jefferies and Brad Pitt as the weather man and so much more.

Downright hilarious and tangent-central, just dripping with banter, THIS is the podcast that you do not want to miss!
