One of my favourite podcasts is Missed Apex. It’s a Formula 1 podcast made by a bunch of garden shed pundits. Literally. After each race, they sit in their respective garden sheds and record a podcast.
What I love about them is they’re knowledgeable, opinionated, and aren’t beholden to any company or stakeholder. This allows them to avoid the middle-of-the-road neutrality that plagues the larger podcasts. They have a small but respectable listenership in the tens of thousands, meaning it feels a bit more like a community. For example, they organise a simulated racing league which I race in, and they also doing in-real-life karting events!
I give this context because I want to talk about how they sign off each show. It’s a simple motto that I’ve come to love:
“Work hard. Be kind. Have fun.”
In six short words they sum up a lot of “good egg” behaviour. It’s a simple, pithy, and inspiring way to think about turning up each day.
