What the F happened next? Check in with Tracey Northcott

I’d like to share the story of WTF happened next to Tracey Northcott, in the two years since we recorded the very first Legends Series interview together. We finished that first legend with what was supposed to be a very bright future ahead for Tracey and her family. In this episode, Tracey has so frankly and openly shared the raw truth of the disaster that was 2020 and the rebuilding and the evolution that was 2020, how she managed and how she had such enormous trauma, but also started to recognize what she does have.

A two time Guinness World Record holder for freediving in a cave, with and without fins, Ai brings images from underwater to us on the shore to inspire us and to spur us into action.

What the F happened next? Check in with Mei Sawada

I am thrilled to welcome back the beautiful, talented, and incredible Mei Sawada for a “What the F happened next?” episode. I'm so interested to know what happened to people over the last two years, how COVID was for them, what they did and what things were on the back burner. I spoke to Lindsay in S4 Episode 2, who is Mei’s mum. She talked about the changes she's made in the yoga studio. But also we threw in a teaser for what happened next for Mei after she moved out of the home. Here is your chance to find out what the F happened next to the breathtakingly accomplished and determined Mei Sawada.

How to be classy with other people's stuff

Well I was reminded of this excellent speaker, Debbie Howard who spoke at FEW Japan on marketing 8 years ago when I was the president.

From Debbie's Blog:

"It turns out Tokyo-based Sarah Furuya started her own “February is the new January” movement back in 2016, when she called together about 50 friends to change the image of February (a month that many dislike for it’s gloomy weather, among other things). She’s now starting her fifth year of providing a one-year coaching program around it – go, Sarah!”
