Hi Karen, thanks so much for the comment. Yes, randomness or simply opening yourself up to new experiences and people can be so positive in life in and outside of work. As for the tunes, the pop punk track was chosen not unintentionally because it was called ‘One Off Song For The Summer’

Thanks for another thought-provoking show, Alex.
I think the randomness aspect that Ben mentions is a very good one, as great ideas can come from an intersection of needs/gaps in different “life areas” and markets.
Also, there’s the possiblity of being stuck in a rut and seeing things from the one, same perspective, especially if you see the same poeple, read the same blogs, etc. day in day out. So definitely do something different whenever you can!
BTW, I like the closing electronica samples, so don’t substitute them all with the pop.

Hi Martin, glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed this one too. I’ll be mentioning it on a few of the forums a little later this evening. Just didn’t have time after posting the show here to get any info up on the boards!

Hi Alex,

Great show as ever - just wanted to say this is the first time I didn’t see notifications of a new podcast on various business forums. (Shell, UKBF, Startups)

Nearly missed a good show because of it!!!

Take care…

Martin
