This week, in what might be the funniest episode yet, Molly and Emese are joined by co-stars Amy Schumer and Brianne Howey. They get candid about motherhood, career evolution, and their new film, Kinda Pregnant —which unexpectedly led to Amy’s latest health discovery. Amy opens up about how public criticism led her to uncover her Cushing syndrome diagnosis, what it’s like to navigate comedy and Hollywood as a mom, and the importance of sharing birth stories without shame. Brianne shares how becoming a mother has shifted her perspective on work, how Ginny & Georgia ’s Georgia Miller compares to real-life parenting, and the power of female friendships in the industry. We also go behind the scenes of their new Netflix film, Kinda Pregnant —how Molly first got the script, why Amy and Brianne were drawn to the project, and what it means for women today. Plus, they reflect on their early career struggles, the moment they knew they “made it,” and how motherhood has reshaped their ambitions. From career highs to personal challenges, this episode is raw, funny, and packed with insights.

A productivity principle I’ve been following for years now is to always identify my ‘next action’ related to the projects and clients I’m working on.

This is something I discussed in episode 243 of my podcast which I’d like to revisit as it’s such a simple, yet powerful concept that can really help you to be more organised.

The concept of a ‘next action’ was first introduced to me in David Allen’s book, Getting Things Done. I don’t follow GTD strictly, but when I’ve certainly adopted this concept from the book. According to David Allen, the next action is the most immediate activity that YOU can take to move a task or project forward.

PMP #310: No goals for 2025 6:45

πριν 6 weeks6:45

Last year was a big year for me and my family. This is why, in 2025, I'm going to take my foot of the accelerator, slow down and I'm not going to set any specific goals for the year. When you're constantly chasing the next thing, you don't do justice to the hard work you've done to get to where you are and the relentless pursuit of self-improvement can get tiring.

How you start your day and the habits and routines you adopt genuinely have a big impact on your effectiveness throughout the day. I’m also a big believer in consistency and when you do the same thing each day, these small habits can have a big impact over time. With that said, here are some of the things I do on a daily basis to look after my health, set up for the day and get my work done.

PMP #307: Get it out of your head 12:08

A crucial productivity mantra that has continued to stick over the years is: “Get it out of your head”. This is an idea I first came across in David Allen’s book Getting Things Done . He nailed it when he said, “Your mind is for having ideas, not holding them.” That quote really hit home for me, and it’s shaped how I use tools and technology to reduce my mental workload.

When I first started my business, like most business owners, I was focused on making money. That’s the goal of any business, right? And for me, I simply wanted to earn enough to replace my full-time salary. However, over time, how I view money has evolved. As I’ve talked about before, I now put a lot of my effort into making the business more efficient; optimising our time and the energy required to do our work.

Knowing what your ideal client looks like is critical if you want to attract the right customers to your business and have successful outcomes. This is not to say you shouldn’t work with clients who don’t exactly fit the profile you’re looking for. But having a customer ‘avatar’ helps you to focus your marketing and filter potential prospects.

PMP #303: The Power of Transparency 7:06

I recently enjoyed this conversation with Ed Sheeran (one of my favourite musicians) on the Theo Von podcast. During the interview, about 58 minutes in, Ed talked about how he always tries to be as honest as he can with people concerning what he’s thinking or feeling. And this is something I’ve always tried to do. Whether I’m on a sales call, helping a client, or talking to a friend or family member, I usually try to be as transparent as I can.

PMP #302: Whats your focus? 5:52

A focus is more than a priority. Every day, we have high-priority tasks that we’re working on. A focus is bigger than that. It’s your north star. It’s more like your number one goal. But where you can have multiple goals, I only ever have one focus. Your focus is the main area you're putting time and energy into for the quarter or even the year.

PMP #298: Do you have to invest in your business? 8:28

In his book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad, author Robert Kiyosaki describes three types of income: 1) Earned income (e.g. from your salary or business income) 2) Passive income (Income that doesn’t require active work to generate e.g. income from a rental property) 3) Portfolio income (e.g. capital gains from owning an asset that appreciates in value). If you’ve earned an income from your business, you could reinvest it to grow your earned income further. But why not invest it in an asset that’s going to generate a passive income or capital gain?
