What if the secret to life was hiding in a toy box?

In this episode, Andy reads a chapter from Brill Kid - The Big Number Two. One of his children's books that might just contain some of the best life advice you’ve never heard.

It’s playful, daft, and surprisingly profound. Because it turns out Lego isn’t just Danish, dangerous underfoot, and oddly emotional - it’s a metaphor for how to live well, rebuild after setbacks, and keep playing, even when the instructions don’t make sense.

Tune in for rogue bricks, joyful nonsense, and a reminder that whether you’re 8 or 58, life’s a game best played with curiosity, creativity... and maybe a bucket of spare pieces.

What if you’re so busy managing the symptoms... when you should be fixing the roof?

In this episode, Andy shares a few famous last words (spoiler: Elvis died doing exactly what he said he was going to do), before rolling into a parable that didn’t make the book - but might just make your brain go “Oof.”

It’s the tale of Miss Cleverclogs, Ralph, and a leaking maths classroom. A ridiculous story, yes. But also... not. Because it’s a metaphor for how we handle mental health - more buckets, more apps, more busyness. Still dripping.

Tune in for irony, weather warnings, and a reminder that the bravest thing you can do sometimes is climb up and fix the actual flipping roof.

What if the best leader in the world wore a hard hat and hung out with a cement mixer called Dizzy?

In this episode, Andy ditches the usual leadership clichés and goes all in on the unexpected hero of the working world... Bob the Builder.

You’ll hear why happiness isn’t something you choose (but positivity is), how leadership isn’t about Mandela quotes or motivational posters, and why the attitude you carry is your most powerful tool - whether you’re laying bricks or leading teams.

Tune in for awkward conference icebreakers, a rant about grinogogs, and seven words that could quietly change your leadership forever... Can we fix it? Yes, we can.
