Jocelyn Glei on fast tech and slow work

Posted on by • 0 Comments
Federica Galli Hello, and welcome to the final episode of the Slow Home Summer Series (AKA Winter Warmies!) For all of January we’ve been revisiting some of our favourite episodes from 2018, so we can walk the walk and slow down during the New Year break. Also it turns out podcasts, just like fine wine, really do get better with age. Whether you missed them the first time around, or are having another listen, we hope you enjoy these poggies as much as we did and that they keep you company on the beach (or the slopes!)

Last but not least, this week is our episode with the awesome Jocelyn Glei, writer and creator of the podcast Hurry Slowly. Now seemed like the perfect time to feature my chat with Jocelyn, as we focus on the relationship between technology, work, life, slow and creativity. And if you’re anything like me as you get back into the swing of work after the holidays, many of us will be looking for ways to keep a little more slow in our work. Jocelyn shares so many great resources, and I hope you find something to explore from this episode. There’s a full list of links and resources below. And excitingly, we’ll see you next month for the brand-new new season of the show!

This week we’re heading back on the road and featuring my conversation with friend of the show (and friend of mine!) Tsh Oxenreider. This episode was recorded live at Book People in Austin during the Slow book tour, and we were lucky enough to record in front of a lovely audience. Tsh and I speak about what slow living looks like for us in real life, our thoughts on balance, what we see minimalism and simplicity morphing into in the age of social media and so much more. Plus our lovely audience had a whole heap of excellent questions for us and we have a lot of fun answering those at the end too.

An Interview with Ben

Hello, and welcome to the Slow Home Summer Series (AKA Winter Warmies!)

Today we’re highlighting one of the most-loved (and most nerve-wracking to release) episodes of last year – my interview with Ben. After some 200-odd episodes of the poggie, where I’ve shared so much of my own journey, so many of my own struggles and discoveries and lessons, we were well overdue for an episode where the focus was solely on Ben. Over the years I’ve been asked many times about what this whole slow living thing has been like for him. What it’s like for someone who works in the corporate sector, for someone who worked long hours, someone who didn’t have the privilege of taking a few years to find out what was important and then gradually put it at the centre of his life. For someone who is married to me. So in this conversation, I asked him all those questions. And honestly, it got a little raw. If you haven’t heard this episode yet I’m not going to tell you anything more about it, because it really is worth a listen. But I do want you to know that this was a really enjoyable, uncomfortable yet comforting, healing, illuminating conversation for both Ben and I, and I’m genuinely thrilled to be able to share it with you again. So many people connected with this episode, which is why I decided to include it in the Summer Series. If it resonates, I’d love for this to start a new conversation about slow with your loved ones. It’s the perfect time of year to check in and examine your priorities for 2019, so I hope this helps!

Today we’re highlighting one of the most inspiring interviews of the year – my conversation with Rob Greenfield. For those of you who haven’t yet had the pleasure of meeting Rob and his boundless enthusiasm, you’re in for a treat. Rob is a self-described ‘dude making a difference’: an activist, environmentalist and all-around legend. I love that Rob shares his story so honestly and in a very relatable way – he was just an average guy who had a wake up call, and he talks about what his catalyst for change was, how he started to make changes, having the realisation that you can’t make enormous changes overnight and more. (I also can’t wait to see how Rob goes with his current project – growing or foraging 100% of his food for a whole year. Listen in for more details on the how and the why of such a big undertaking.)

We’re kicking off the Summer Series by heading back to my absolute favourite experiment of 2018, and an episode that came just after it: my chat with Florence Williams, author of The Nature Fix. In this episode Florence shares why time in nature is so important, tips for how to make it happen and some of the mind-blowing benefits she’s found in her research. This conversation only further convinced me of the importance of spending time in nature – let us know if it made you feel the same way! Head over to Instagram and share your thoughts.
