In this episode I talk about how my brother (Ewan Townhead, www.ewantownhead.com) and I have strengthened our relationship over the last few years via a weekly practice that accidentally looks a lot like the 12-Minute Method. And that we have so far - miraculously - not given up on. It started with us signing up to Seth Godin's The Marketing Seminar together and ended with us speaking more and connecting more than we ever have as adults... and arguably more than ever before. I also explain how the importance of connecting with family showed up for me by considering my own mortality, how I have developed similar ways to strengthen my relationship with my daughter and my mum, how Resistance and procrastination can't cope with consistency and how creating a good practice in one part of your life can have knock-on effects elsewhere.

About the 12-Minute Method Podcast: In this podcast, I (leadership coach and author Robbie Swale) investigate why we sometimes don't do the things that deep down we really want to do. In each episode of season 1, I am going to reflect on a time in my life where I have beaten procrastination, become more productive and finally done something important to me, hoping that by doing this I will learn more about what it really takes to go from wanting to do something (but not doing it) to getting it done. And hoping that whatever you take away from each episode might help you get your idea off the ground and out into the world.
