Got anything good?

Hey, this is the Christian O'Connell Show podcast.

Let's give this a go. This might not work as I hoped it would.

I just want to flag that up now.

Already just there's a buzz of frantic hysteria that doesn't need to be present.

Okay, this is the intention.

The impact, often in life, is very different than intention, but the intention is pure. So here's the thing, right? There's a guy on reception here who's called Josh, and he's been here a couple years, and that is his role, that is his title. And that is what we do in the world, isn't it? We reduce each other to titles and things like that. Because the dullest question you've asked somebody is, what do you do for living? It's such a

boring question. Because then you grade it. And you finally says, you should go, you should go and talk to that guy. He's a doctor. Yeah, yeah, you can, somehow he's better than a receptionist. So Josh is, he works on reception, but he's not a receptionist.

calling he'd be happy to take a call and he'll help you and he'll reassure you he's like that

every single day he's the most positive kind-hearted soul in this station. And so when I was

thinking about next year and the show and what I want on my team, he embodies what I'm looking

for. And that's why I've hired him to join our team. Now, on paper, that's a crazy decision. He

has no radio experience. And actually what we're doing in January with the national show, it's a big moment in history. It's a big moment in all of our lives. We're getting to break new ground, the first ever national breakfast show in this country. But Josh will bring something to this team. He will, you know. And he reminds me of, when I hired you, you had no radio experience, but I hired you

because you had this in your own way, what Josh has. He is a ray of light. Like as soon, if you can be
