What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Welcome to the latest episode of Accidental Business Owners. The premise of the show is that two years ago, Seamus and I left our nine to fives to go all in on the Between Two Beers podcast and the other businesses we were building alongside it.
That's when we realized we needed some help. We linked up with Di Foster, who's a business and mindset coach, and decided our coaching sessions were worthy of being broadcast, and we ended up creating this show.
Each episode is a new coaching session where we work through the raw realities of building our business. In this episode, we're talking about our execution phase and the realities of building, filming and travelling across the world to film our new World Cup football show.

Good morning, boys.
Hey, Di. Morning, Di.
Beautiful day in Hamilton today.
Always is. I don't know why you say that like you should be surprised. It's always a good day.
Isn't Hamilton renowned for being the most closed airport for fog?
I don't think that's a real statistic. There's a lot of misinformation out there.
I think 80% of statistics are made up on the spot, particularly about Hamilton.
Righty-ho. How are we?
Why did the coach decide to stop coaching during execution season?
A little bit.
Concerned? I'm not sure if concerned is the right word. Apprehensive? Well, yeah, we just had a chat before and you said, trust me, I've figured it out. I had a night's sleep and I know exactly what we need to do. I wasn't part of that conversation, so I've written ABO on my bit of paper. And so I don't know what this is or where we're going.
For those of you that don't know, Steve's a bit of a control freak. He likes to know exactly the conversations that are going to be had before they're had. I do. Anyway, we're moving back to, we used to do these much more on the fly and that's what we're doing today. We're going back to that. Yesterday was quite a big day for me. You know, I talk to people all the time about looking after themselves, and I came away yesterday going, that would be a novel idea, Di. How about looking after yourself?
Well, it was a weird energy yesterday, wasn't it? Yes. Like, I'd flown in from Wellington, and I, yeah, I don't know, kind of, when I walked in, I thought, oh, jeez, have I farted and not realised and stunk the room out? Because it was a bit odd.
Yeah, I can't explain that. It was just, it was a bit odd. But anyway, we got through. At 8.30 last night, after going for a walk and having some beautiful food, I was sound asleep in bed at 8.30 and I slept through till 5.30 this morning and I literally woke up with light bulb moment. Ding! Yeah, ding! Grabbed my notepad and mapped out everything and went, I can see it clearly now. So, here goes. I'm always pushing you guys to kind of look ahead so I can say, be careful of this, watch for this. What do you want? I mean, if anyone's listening and goes, oh my God, here she goes again. What do you really want?
What do you really want?
Why is that important? It's because at the moment you two are slightly misaligned on that and that comes into the business from time to time. So Steve had a really great chat to Claude on Sunday, which is a slight eye roll because it's like it's really good and there's some very Claude-isms in it that are like, roll your eyes. Anyway, the essence of it is great. But when we got that on Monday morning, I think it kind of, it was in the back of our minds of like, whoa, Steve's really clear this is what he wants.
Yeah, I'm nodding along because maybe that was in, because I picked that up on Sunday night when I was away and I was like, oh, whoa. I'm like, shit, I've not thought about this stuff at all. And I know you'd asked us to think about it, but I was like.
Well, I'd asked you to think about the podcast as a product.
