This week I handed over the keys of my email to ChatGPT and it got me thinking about the challenges and opportunities of AI. I thought it might be useful for you to hear the perspective of an employer, podcaster, creator, and my observations on how it's changing the world of travel and outcomes for non-native English speakers.

If this one's got you thinking about what chapter you're in right now, I built something for exactly that.

Nine years ago I left Gili Trawangan with no money, a banging head, and a boat to Komodo I nearly missed.

This week I went back with Mica and Tomi, now alcohol-free, to see what's changed.

Turns out, mostly me.

We island-hop from Bali to Gili T and finish on Gili Air. Plenty of boats, chats with locals, my not-funny-funny toilet humour, Borat impressions, a masturbation joke or two, and the deep chats you'd expect:

Is life one big illusion? If everything you experience is your brain interpreting and projecting the signals it can decode, what are you actually looking at?

This one's emotional for me. It was the last weekend Mica, Tomi and I had together, and I'll treasure it.

Same island. Completely different chapter.

If you're trying to grow a social media page from nothing, thinking about betting on yourself and going all in on a side hustle, or you're a runner curious about what elite coaching actually looks like (your form, your footwear, your easy runs, all of it), this episode covers the lot.

Myles Rawson grew his Instagram from nothing to 300,000 followers in around 12 months. This is the full story of how, from the man himself.

When we first spoke, his channel had just started blowing up. In this one we go right back to the beginning: the 6am workouts before full electrician days with video editing until 11pm, the fuck-this moment where he nearly packed it in, the video format that finally took off, and the ten grand he paid a coach when that money was hard to find.

It's not just a growth story though. He also sorts my back out again: my anterior pelvic tilt, what sitting all day does to runners, why easy runs expose your form, what modern footwear does to the 250,000 nerve endings in your feet, and how to build strength for HYROX without bulk.

Plus: living with elite runners at a training camp in Kenya, and the DM from Bear Grylls that turned into coaching him.
