Beyond the basement

A podcast about curiosity

This irreverent audio blog is about rekindling your curiosity and creativity in life (the kind I lost going mad in my basement). You'll find urban exploration and half-arsed philosophical musing here, as I wander, walk and wonder what makes things tick. Occasionally there's wisdom, usually just throwaway rants and whimsy.

Beyond the basement

Hello. I'm Chris. I'm a coach and writer. I help practically-minded do-ers, makers and thinkers focus on what really matters. I also once went mad in my basement. Not face-smeared-in-faeces-mad, just low-grade, brooding, existential despair mad. This irreverent audio blog is about rekindling your curiosity and creativity in life (the kind I lost beneath sawdust in my basement DIY). You'll find urban exploration and half-arsed philosophical musing here. I wander, walk and wonder what makes things tick. Occasionally there's wisdom, usually just throwaway rants and whimsy.

What can a lumpy floor and self-levelling compound teach us about fear, control and change? More than you think, in a brief return to the basement for this episode. If you’re a perfectionist or procrastinate from time to time, you’ll identify with the cycle of fear, hesitance and imagination that’s often the precursor to actually getting on with things. Maybe you’ll learn a little bit about self-levelling floor compounds too.
