Sunday Sum - 6th October 2024

Hey , welcome back to

The Sunday Summary

, a collection of insights and my behind the scenes from the past week.

💂🏻 🚕 A huge podcast feature!:JaackMaate's Happy Hour - Tom the Taxi DriverA massive thanks to Jack and Stevie for inviting me into their studio, one of my favourite podcasts so a bit life moment!We covered so much in this discussion; The Knowledge, why Sat Nav's suck, celebrity passengers, Heathrow, Strip clubs.  This was so enjoyable you can hear how animated I am in my voice!  Great to also share the work of the magical taxi tour and poppy cabs also!  Go listen to it now!

🧐 Something I'm pondering:Making choices I didn't know I hadThis was inspired by a fantastic talk I watched by Rory Sutherland.  A simple phenomenon of making people aware of choices they didn't know they had.Example being, when I worked in Starbucks, people who ordered filter coffees got free refills (not sure if this is still a thing), and it makes me wonder how many options I might be missing out in life, just because the option isn't presented.One of Sutherland's observation was that every country he travelled to, if he had to take numerous plugs, we would have to buy multiple adaptors if he wanted to choice multiple options.  Or... just take a 4 gang lead and 1 adaptor.  Genius reframing!📺 🚴🏻 What I'm watching:Chainspotting ClipI finally sat down and watched the iconic MTB/Trials video "Chainspotting".I loved this segment, some beautiful riding and artistic camera work that just left me in awe.  Just a reminder that even in today's "fast fast fast, keep retention" media creation, there's still room for this kind of beauty.  Really can't wait to get out and make a trials edit like this!🎧 On heavy rotation:This Is The Way Feat. DMX - Five Finger Death PunchBit more melodic Five Finger Death Punch, a proper jam!📺 On YouTube This Week:I'm currently scripting a lengthy video about why taxi apps do and don't work, as well as editing a shit from last week.  These will be Saturday content.But in addition, some of you may notice that I've been releasing more casual community style content on a Tuesday. Really enjoy being able to riff on important topics and get more content out!Basically, lots to come and I can't wait to share with you all!
