Exhale - Podcast

Exhale

Exhale is Adii Pienaar's perspective on the journey through life and business. In this podcast, Adii will explore some of the non-obvious things he's learnt, whilst at the same time passionately unlearning some things about life or business that have not really been helpful at all.

You'll enjoy this if you are curious and interested in possibly finding a new lens through which to view your own life and business.

#12 - Ambition is hard work

I have to say that I've been chasing my tail a bit and running around like a headless chicken since the start of the month.

#11 - Reaching Superficial Milestones

#11 - Reaching Superficial Milestones

I want to run 2000km in 2016 and after a 3-week break due to illness, I'm behind schedule. So it's going to be tough to reach that milestone. That said, I'm not even sure why 2000km is even that impo…

#10 - Behind The Scenes

#10 - Behind The Scenes

My perception is that most people know me due to my two successes: WooThemes and now Conversio.

I also suspect that most people don't know about all of my failures: Maiden League Records, Akkerliefie…

#9 - What's the meaning of life?

#9 - What's the meaning of life?

Whenever someone rhetorically asks "What's the meaning of life?", I have a wry smile, because it always seems like such a loaded, unanswerable question.

Yet when I look at my life, I've always had a …

#8 - Positive Impact

#8 - Positive Impact

I had an uncomfortable realisation earlier. The only minority that I've ever been part of, has been one of privilege.

When I initially realised that, I was totally overwhelmed. Not in a way that I fe…

#7 - Playing your own game

#7 - Playing your own game

Earlier this week, we rebranded and relaunched Receiptful as Conversio. This was ultimately a project that represented our own evolution and what we had learnt about ourselves in the last 2 years sin…

#6 - Did Not Finish

#6 - Did Not Finish

This past Sunday I had entered to race in my first triathlon. After a couple of weeks of hard training, I felt that I was prepared and was excited to take part in my first race.

But I only swam for 1…

#5 - Slower Mornings

#5 - Slower Mornings

We have two young boys (5 & 2) in the house and I can positively say that their random sleeping and (subsequent) morning routines has made it really hard for me to stick to my own morning work routi…

#4 - The Obstacle is the Way

#4 - The Obstacle is the Way

I started Exhale by sharing my very first exhale experience when I realised that my life - and especially my work / business - felt like I was pushing a rock up the hill. That sensation and the fact …

#3 - I don't believe in work/life balance

#3 - I don't believe in work/life balance

We often hear about why work/life balance is important, how a few people are successful at achieving it (survivorship bias much?) and mostly how the majority of the world just struggles with this.

#2 - Having a softer focus

When I left WooThemes, one of my goals was that I wanted to create a SaaS company, because I wanted to have the challenge of hacking the recurring revenue growth curve. Inspired very much by "the sta…

#1 - Saying hello with no clear plan

The path I took to create this episode - and maybe the podcast as whole, but to a lesser extent - might have a bunch of different names: freestyling, intuitive and maybe slightly impulsive. The one t…
