This is episode 39 of Hello You Podcast, and gosh, does AI come in for a shaking...

Not before we dig into octopus blooms, throw a reference to Jungian Sovereignty or consider our common humanity of course!

This is another riotous episode of the unfurling conversation between two friends, thinkers and thought partners. And we'd love to have you along for the ride.

Check out the shownotes here (https://helloyoupodcast.wordpress.com/2026/09/10/s3-ep3-tentacles-ai-and-nearing-40/) or jump straight in for a listen. The HYP Salon is open!

Welcome! Grab a coffee and pull up a chair for an hour of chat on things preoccupying us as a couple of early millennials. For a skim through what we chat about (complete with links and references) read the shownotes here : https://helloyoupodcast.wordpress.com/2026/07/22/s-3-ep-2-to-see-all-our-language-in-a-grain-of-sand/ .

Oh. Wow. It's been not just a minute but OVER A YEAR since Louise & Neil got behind the mics in their respective countries.

A lot has been happening in that time, as you'd expect.

• Louise has launched some brilliant Sparkle Sessions for female founders
• Neil's burnt himself on hot tea (three times). He's also been working on a White Paper for the Institute of Internal Communications (out in June/July 2026)

We talk about clothes as empowerment or armour; radical presence in conversation; being vulnerable; and the fact that one of the early incarnations of the Emperor from Star Wars was played by a woman.

It might have been a hot minute since the last episode but we're back. And, like riding a bike - it all comes back to us. The training wheels are off!

Yes folks, we're back on schedule!

This episode is heavy on systems thinking - Louise has been doing some work in this area & Neil's just a geek who can't get enough complexity.

Reflections on travel are woven in, we explore systems of meaning as well as healthcare systems, Louise asks probing questions about AI and Neil gets giddy.

Please pull up a chair and dive into the unfurling of Episode 36 of this great HYP experiment! And if you want some shownotes, you're in luck - here's the link for the shownotes so do have a quick read through for the inside-ish track on what we talk about!

Welcome back to Hello You Podcast! It's been a hot minute since Louise & Neil last took to the microphone.

However, we are now back and our delight-filled 35th takes in Portuguese unicorns, why we should listen to our gut instinct and an improbable number of birds named Martin.

It all makes sense in only the way that HYP episodes can - so please, draw up a chair and listen in! You can also read through some shownotes to get a flavour of the chat before you join the listening crew!

Welcome in and pull up a chair for episode 33. Louise is planning and packing for her move to Portugal, while Neil has been Story Slamming.

A theme of owning our stories and holding space emerges and we explore the delight of seeing other people stepping into their stories. We are all about aliving here! (Yes, that word will get plenty of mileage with us)

We invite you to HYP33 and please drop us a note here on Spotify or on LinkedIn to let us know what landed & resonated with you!

From working at home and being nosey about people's backgrounds, to adding new words to the English language and connecting with others - it can only be the latest Hello You Podcast episode!

Nature and wonder feature heavily in this hour of frequently random chat. Men fall in ponds, cicadas sleep for a prime number of years and we talk about how a practice rooted in Aikido can enrich our worklives.

Shownotes and links are available (https://shownotes.helloyoupodcast.com) - so please pull up a comfy chair because the Salon is open!
