In this short, punchy Beyond Just Business episode, Paul and Andrew tackle a surprisingly universal word: “should.”
We all have a list of things we should be doing – how we work, live, parent, eat, and even queue for coffee. But what happens when “should” becomes a form of quiet self-sabotage? When it keeps you doing what’s expected rather than what’s right for you?
Through relatable stories (including a memorable detour involving dog walks, mushrooms, and societal expectations), Paul and Andrew unpack how “should, have to, and need to” reveal the fears and obligations driving our behaviour.
They explore why people struggle to question long-held beliefs, how social conditioning keeps us colouring inside the lines, and how to start replacing obligation with genuine choice.
This one’s equal parts humour, reflection, and gentle challenge – the kind of conversation that makes you pause mid-walk and think, “Wait… why am I actually doing this?”
