Neither of us are natural extroverts. And yet, in-person events form a decent portion of how we spend our time and build our businesses.

We’ve spent the past couple of months at some of the biggest conferences in the world. Joe has been running dozens of in-person meetup-style events across the country.

So what can you be doing to make the most out of attending in-person events? And how about organising them? In this episode, we share some tips.

Every school report Rich had as a kid had a consistent criticism levelled at him…

Social butterfly… lacks focus.

He has a natural tendency is to 'magpie', to chase the shiny things, to look for the next thing.

But when you're focussed on 'growth', sometimes you have to knuckle down and focus.

You have to cut out the noise and do the thing.

In a different way, Joe's been struggling with focus recently.

Trying to figure out what is the thing he would like to achieve: to focus on - it's been a daily exercise in reflection.

Things are going well, but could they be going even better if he nailed down to one specific direction?

So today, we're exploring 'focus'.

So is there even a question anymore? Is it still simply about growing full stop, or, do we need to add another question to finish off the thought… growth - to what end?

That’s what we’re speaking about today.
