Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/30

This is it. Episode 365. The last time I open the podcast with those words.This episode isn’t a neat bow or a highlight reel. It’s a real reflection on what it actually takes to show up every single day for a year, without fireworks, without drama, and without pretending it was always fun.I talk about why documenting the year mattered more than “performing” it, and how most of the work happened quietly in between the milestones. The Everest Base Camp analogy still holds. You get there… and it’s just

2025/12/29

This is the second-last episode of this daily podcast project, and honestly, I didn’t come in with some big, profound lesson lined up.I just wanted to share something that happened.On Sunday, Chris and I were out driving his 1979 Trans Am. Black. V8. Screaming chicken on the bonnet. Full Smokey and the Bandit vibes. A bird decided to do its business right on the hood, so we pulled into a servo to wash it off.As we were about to leave, we noticed eight to ten American classic cars parked nearby

2025/12/28

Only three episodes left in this daily podcast experiment. In this episode, I’m sharing a deceptively simple icebreaker I picked up at a Brisbane rooftop event that involved good wine, smart people, and an afternoon of intentional pour choices.During a conversation with Niha, she described a workshop activity called The Animal Game. WHere’s how it works.You choose three animals, one at a time, without overthinking it:For each animal, you note two traits that feel accurate.The twist in the

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/26

Today’s guest is Tim Ferguson, CEO of Audience, joining me from Switzerland. If you’ve ever walked into a workshop and felt your soul quietly leave your body, Tim is one of the people trying to stop that from happening.This conversation is a masterclass in what great facilitation actually looks like when it’s done properly. Tim doesn’t treat “engagement” like a nice-to-have. He treats it like the job.We talk about Tim’s wild career pivots, starting as a day camp counsellor, then theatre school, then

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/26

Today I sat down with Jan Keck (a self-proclaimed “community addict”) whose tagline is “Let’s have conversations that matter.” Jan created Ask Deep Questions, which started as a deck of cards to help friends connect on a camping trip and has since grown into a global tool for facilitating meaningful conversations.We talked about the real stuff: loneliness in a hyper-connected world, how to build belonging without forcing it, and how to hold space when things get awkward or emotional, especially

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/25

I’m recording this on Christmas Day, full festive mode, about to eat and drink everything in sight. But first, I squeezed in a proper workout. A 45-minute Peloton bike bootcamp with Tunde that absolutely cooked my legs.After that, I did something very on-brand for me. I impulse-bought a $29 USD online course off Instagram and gave it a crack straight away.It was an intro to shuffle dancing from an account called Shuffle Mums. If you’ve seen shuffling before, you’ll know it’s fast footwork,

2025/12/24

In this Christmas Day episode, I’m recording fresh off a humid Brisbane hike and a lot of thinking time.I expand on yesterday’s conversation about media and platforms, and get specific about two things I’m genuinely prioritising in the year ahead.First, private podcasts.

2025/12/23

In this episode, I walk through the social media platforms I actually use, why I still use them, and what’s staying or shifting as I head into the new year.Earlier this year, I published a deep dive on my $11K tech stack. This conversation is the companion piece, focused purely on social and media platforms. The question I’m asking myself is simple: Why am I here? And is it still doing the job?Here’s the rundown.LinkedIn This is my main business platform. It’s where I share ideas, test thinking,

🌴357. Effort vs Effort Perception

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/22

I recorded this episode late. All year I’ve been disciplined. Daily episodes. Even from Nepal with poor internet And yet here I am, back home, beachy, relaxed, watching eight hours of cricket… and suddenly a three-minute podcast feels heavy.That’s the bit I wanted to call out.It’s not that the work is hard. It’s that the perception of effort ramps up when you’re in soft mode. When you’re already moving, working, exercising, creating, the extra thing barely registers. When you’ve gone full couch,

🌴356. Eat Clean, Drink Dirty

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/21

The Story Behind “Eat Clean, Drink Dirty”A while back, my Red Carpet Campout collaborator, Steve Demedio, asked about my dietary requirements. I replied via SMS, “I eat clean and I drink dirty.” That phrase stuck with me, especially recalling a trip to Thailand with Chris.Our mornings were all about a healthy routine—coffee, hydration, gym sessions, and a fruit-filled breakfast—while our afternoons melted into beautiful sunsets with a Chang or a mojito in hand. That contrast perfectly sums up my

2025/12/20

Today I’m pulling you into a conversation I’ve been hanging out to have again, because Julian Treasure is one of those rare humans who makes you rethink how you speak, how you listen, and even how your office is quietly wrecking your brain.I open by asking a simple question: what’s your favourite TED Talk? Because TED is basically the internet’s global library of “oh wow” moments. I share a few of mine, and then we get into the reason Julian’s back, his talk “How to Speak so that People Want to

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/19

Ronsley was the person who told me, years ago, “If you want to start a podcast, start one about something you want to learn.” That advice is the reason this show exists.In this final interview, we don’t talk tactics. We talk identity, energy, reps, and why preparation is not the same thing as control.We unpack why Ronsley doesn’t see himself as a “facilitator” even though he absolutely is one, how he creates rooms people want to be in, and why return on luck is really return on reps.We talk

2025/12/18

I’ve just delivered my final webinar of the year and, honestly, I’m not gliding into the finish line. There’s still work on the table. In today’s episode, I want to share something simple that worked beautifully in a live client session. A practical way to get buy-in without overcomplicating things.The move is this “Here’s what you said.”That’s it.This team had been involved earlier in the year, sharing input on their future direction and identity. The leadership team took that raw input away, did

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/17

I negotiated a book deal with Wiley.What I coverWho I’m writing this book for: an earlier version of me, sitting on a train in South Bank three months into a “dream job on paper” that I hated.The trap I fell into: job hunting as avoidance. I thought a new role would fix it. It didn’t.A line I can’t unhear: “The grass isn’t greener… it’s just another shade of brown.” Every job has brown patches. The question is what you do about it.The premise of the book: it’s not about finding your dream job. It’s

🌴351. Is recognition a trap?

Leanne on Demand Daily with Leanne Hughes ·

2025/12/16

Today’s episode started with a simple client conversation about recognition.. I shared a moment I’ll never forget from a workshop I ran in India with 30 construction leaders. One card said, “I’d be happy if my leader just said thank you.” That card stopped the room. Everyone stood up.That memory took me straight back to a book I keep coming back to, The Courage to Be Disliked. It’s easily the most annotated book on my Kindle, and honestly, it feels like one long highlight.I read out passages that

2025/12/15

I woke up to the news out of Bondi. A targeted shooting. Jewish people celebrating Hanukkah. It’s horrifying, heartbreaking, and deeply unsettling. Like many Australians, I’m angry, sad, and shocked that this happened here.I talk about what it’s been like trying to function creatively in the middle of that. And the very real tension between staying informed and protecting your sanity.I share why I made the call to switch the news off, physically leave the room, and create some distance. Not out of

This episode exists because a completely normal Christmas catch-up in Brisbane somehow turned into a 30-minute in-depth chat about bidets.It started at our Red Carpet Campout reunion. Darts. Drinks. Way too much food.So today, I’m talking about bidets. Yes, really.I explain what they actually are, why they’re everywhere in Japan and much of Asia, and how staying in a hotel in Sriracha, Thailand sent me down a very unexpected rabbit hole that ended with installing one at home.We get into the

I’m joined by Jordan Mendoza, a sales and training pro with 25+ years in sales and marketing, and 14 years in the multifamily housing world (he explains what that actually means, so you’re not left guessing). I first heard him on a group Zoom call through Andy Storch’s Talent Development Summit and within minutes I knew: this guy is a live wire. He trains, he sells, he hosts the Blaze Your Own Trail podcast, he breakdances, he does impressions, and he’s built a LinkedIn audience of 60,000-plus by

I came back from Nepal and Alan Weiss immediately “welcomed me back to flat earth”, then we got into the real topic: climbing the mountain when it’s not cute anymore.This episode starts with the funny stuff (Lukla airport and the “dungeon” accommodation, plus a toilet situation that honestly deserves its own spin-off). But quickly it turns into something sharper: what happens when you’re deep in it, tired, doubting yourself, and looking for an exit.Alan shares a story I didn’t expect: even with his
