Listen "🌴311. Grounded"
Episode Synopsis
Hey friends, checking in from Camp Manji after a few hours of sleep. Before Nepal, a quick rewind to Brisbane Airport where I met Tim, Benjamin, and Renee — total legends. Benjamin joked about the old two-prong airplane headphones and said, “Everyone’s talking about AI taking over the world, but we still have these!”That line made me think of something my friend Julian Ma once said: “The more change we have, the more familiarity we crave.” It hit me mid-flight as I watched Ace Ventura instead of anything new. Singapore Airlines even had a whole “Reboots and Retakes” section — Naked Gun, Superman, Karate Kid — pure comfort.Landing in Kathmandu was chaos in the best way. Lines everywhere, no real order, but somehow it worked. I’m calling it Mountain Time — slower, softer, more human.Right now, I’m sitting at Rise & Grind Coffee with a cappuccino, watching the city wake up and feeling grateful to finally be here.In this episode, I share: ☕️ Why nostalgia feels so grounding right now 🎧 What airplane headphones say about progress 🧭 How to embrace “mountain time” wherever you areMentioned in this episode:Julian Ma on change and familiaritySingapore Airlines “Reboots & Retakes”Rise & Grind Coffee, KathmanduSign up for free for my best articles every week: Work Fame.Show notes for every episode at https://podcast.leannehughes.comP.S.
