In this episode, Roy and Catherine explore where creativity actually comes from — and land on a shared idea that it's not something you manufacture, it's something you make room for. Catherine explains the philosophy behind her brand, Being Space: that creativity is happening constantly as a natural life force, but most of us are too tangled up in our own drama and mental clutter to notice it. For her, making space means clearing physical clutter, clearing the mind through meditation, yoga, or w

In this episode, Roy and Catherine dig into gratitude — not the meme-worthy, 30-day-challenge version, but what actually happens when you practice it for real. Roy shares how gratitude became one of the things that saved him during his darkest period of losing everything, when the phone was full of bailiffs and debt collectors — deliberately turning his mind toward what he still had: his parents' unwavering belief in him, his kid's hug, a roof over his head, food in his belly.

In this episode, Roy and Catherine dig into where their own boundaries most need attention — and for both of them, it's less about other people than about themselves. Catherine opens up about her long, ongoing relationship with screens and scrolling, comparing it to a kind of addiction that never fully disappears, just gets managed better or worse at different points in life — and makes the case that our culture has had thousands of years to learn healthy relationships with things like alcohol,

In this episode, Roy and Catherine explore the relationships that shape who we become. Roy talks about staying close to his mother as a daily sounding board — valued more for her intuition and people-sense than for business advice — and about surrounding himself with people he trusts who are genuinely trying to make things better for others. He shares his approach to friendship as something built deliberately, not left to chance: picking up the phone instead of waiting to be needed, and choosing
