About Awesomely Off-Topic: Books, Brands, Business and Everything Else We’re Not Supposed to Say Out Loud

🎙️ Awesomely Off-Topic is the podcast that dives headfirst into the business of being brilliantly, messily, unapologetically you. Hosted by award-winning speaker trainer and business and personal empowerment coach Taz Thornton, alongside publishing powerhouse, book mentor and content coach Asha Clearwater – expect bold conversations about building a business and life that actually fits you, not the other way round. We’ll talk personal brand, visibility without the ick, microbooks with major impact, ADHD-friendly approaches, messy launches, business flops, spiritual sidequests and all the stuff no one told you you were allowed to say out loud. We’re doing this on a shoestring – raw, unedited and totally unscripted. No fancy studio, no big budget, no gatekeeping. Just hit record and go. Real talk. Tangents. Swearing (probably). Useful insights. And a whole lot of permission to do it your way. It’s chaos. It’s clarity. It’s Awesomely Off-Topic.

   🎙️ S2 E32: THINGS THAT GO BUMP IN OUR LIVES – Ghosts, Childhood Encounters and Scary Stuff We Can't Explain

   Halloween gets noisy with pumpkins and party bags, but the older story is quieter and stranger. We’re talking Samhain, the Gaelic marker of winter, when folklore says the boundary between worlds feels thinner and the night air carries different kinds of meaning. We also trace the real origin of the Jack O’Lantern back to Ireland and Stingy Jack, a hollowed-out turnip, and a warning light for a man who could not find a home in either heaven or hell. From there, we move from myth to memory. We...

   🎙️ S2 E31: It's Time We Talked About Time (Just One More Hour)

   The clocks go back and suddenly we all get an extra hour. Sounds like a gift, but what do you actually do with it when the afternoons go dark and your energy is all over the place? We start with the UK winter feeling, compare it to the late-night coffee culture we love in places like Greece, and use that contrast to ask a bigger question: who decided time has to work one way for everyone? We then get honest about our own work lives. We have never done a classic nine to five, and it makes us ...
