Busy Doesn’t Equal Productive: What 35 Years of Data Reveals About Your Team’s Time

nicholas@wunderbrand.com (mark ellwood, nicholas kuhne, wunderbrand) — Fri, 7 Nov 2025 07:00:00 +0000

In this episode, we get into his data-backed findings on how men and women use time differently at work, why only 20% of your time is actually spent on your highest priorities (ouch), and how organisations are quietly burning out their teams without even realising it.

We talk practical fixes, bad email habits, smarter meetings, and how measuring what matters can transform your team’s output. Oh, and we get poetic too — literally. Mark shares his quirky (and surprisingly powerful) book The Poetic Path to Getting More Done and even drops a goal-setting rhyme that’s better than your last TED Talk.

How to think like a high achiever - with Dr. Christiane

nicholas@wunderbrand.com (Christiane Schroeter, Nicholas Kuhne, Wunderbrand) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 20:25:00 +0000

Guest: Dr. Christiane Schroeter – TEDx speaker, university professor, wellness coach, and author of the Petite Practice Method.

Background: Christiane grew up in Germany, earned her PhD in the US, and now juggles being a successful academic, podcaster, author, and mum — all without burning out. She’s the real deal when it comes to high-achiever life… minus the breakdown.

What this episode is about:
Why do so many high achievers still feel stuck? What happens when you do everything "right" — and success still doesn’t show up the way you expected? In this conversation, we dig into the mindset traps, comparison loops, and resilience hacks that define (or destroy) high performers. Plus, how to use The Petite Practice Method to build momentum from small actions.

Why listen?
If you’ve ever chased a goal, faced rejection, or wondered “what’s next?” after hitting a big milestone — this one’s for you. Christiane shares real stories (including her TEDx journey), failures, and mental rewiring tools that every high achiever needs in their toolkit.

“You just haven't found the right gallery for your art.”

Position your business and life with 7 words

nicholas@wunderbrand.com (wunderbrand, nicholas kuhne, ian chamandi) — Wed, 5 Nov 2025 19:00:00 +0000

Through his proprietary “Blueprinting” methodology, Ian transforms vague business direction into clarity that drives real growth.

In this episode, we unpack why most businesses don’t actually know what business they’re in — and how that confusion leaks into staff turnover, customer churn, and inconsistent growth. Ian shares how his seven-word purpose statements aren’t branding fluff — they’re powerful decision-making tools that guide strategy, hiring, marketing and even mergers.

You’ll hear how a retail shelving company landed an $800K Best Buy deal simply by reframing what they do in two words. If you’re running a business, building a brand, or stuck in confusion — this one’s your wake-up call.

nicholas@wunderbrand.com (John Hillen, Nicholas Kuhne) — Tue, 22 Apr 2025 07:30:00 +0000

Why listen to this episode?
Because most people confuse budgeting with strategy. In this episode, Dr. Hillen tears that myth apart and shows founders how to think like strategists, build companies that actually adapt, and lead teams that don’t wait to be told what to do. It’s strategic thinking made accessible – no overpriced consultants, no fluff.

This one's for startup founders, brand leaders and future Netflixes looking to play offence, not just survive.
