Success story – part 2

Written by Colin Campbell | 09/02/23 18:00

So, part 1 of ‘success story’ is here if you haven't read it.

One of the things I was able to do in sab 5.0, when I had the time during the week to let my brain go nuts, was to gorge on Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast series and listen to every single episode.

That is an extraordinary bit of production work and something that I could never replicate but Nancy (our digital content manager and podcast producer) and I have had long discussions now about how we re-invent the podcast and make it something which we can absolutely be proud of.

When you look at many podcasts (listen to) it's just two people talking to each other about an interview and stories about this or that, and that's fine and interesting to some people but it does get a bit samey.

Gladwell's podcasts are not like that and success story will not be like that either.

We'll start in February later this month, with an introduction to what 2023 will be, and then through 2023 we’ll release some interviews and then some other podcasts and then some other episodes, explaining concepts around people's success and investigating the similarities between different people, even though they come from different areas.

Through 2023 we’ll also be recording tonnes of material for 2024 so that we’ll then be able to produce 10, 11 or 12 podcasts a year of what we hope will be the highest quality.

I hope you'll join us and get involved and get chatting about the things that we talk about, but just to get you going here's some links to the previous podcasts that we did in the hope that you might have a listen to get yourself ready for what's coming next.

Success story is about atypical pathways to success.

It's about the fact that most of the people I've ever met who've managed to achieve things have done it without a laminate, they’ve made it up as they’ve gone along, and some people have done that because they’ve found themselves in positions of extreme adversity and others because they understood that there is no recipe that you can copy from someone else to get where you're going.
