Are you so focused on building a better future that you’re missing the life happening right in front of you?

In this episode of Listed & Living, Michael Carter explores why the people we love sometimes get the least of us, how “I’ll be happy when…” keeps us chasing tomorrow, and what it actually means to live in the present.

From putting your phone down to making that overdue call, this is a reminder to chase your ambitions while appreciating the ordinary moments you might one day give anything to have back.

Because leaving nothing in the tank should apply to more than your career. It should apply to loving your people and living your life.

Have you ever looked at your vision board and felt further away from the life you want?

We’re good at picturing the house, the career and the freedom. But we don’t always picture what we’ll need to do to get there.

In this episode, I talk about why a vision board can start to feel discouraging, and how to turn one of those big dreams into a step you can actually take this week. We’ll also look at what to do when motivation fades or life gets in the way.

Keep the dream. Give it a next step.

Because the law of attraction doesn’t work without the law of action.

Why do we say “we won” when we weren’t even on the field?

In this episode of Listed & Living, Michael explores the psychology behind our emotional connection to sporting teams, and why a win or loss can affect us far more than it probably should.

But this episode isn’t really just about sport.

It’s about tribalism, our deeply human need to belong, and how the groups we identify with become part of who we are. From football clubs and friendship groups to workplaces and training communities, the people around us are constantly influencing the way we think, behave and see ourselves.

It raises an important question: if we naturally become more like the people around us, are we being intentional about who those people are?

A light-hearted but thoughtful conversation about sport, identity, friendship and finding the kind of tribe that brings out the best in you.
