I’m challenged of late - I know so many people that are great at things. They’re not great at everything but they really excel in some areas. For example in just the last few days

  • Simon Dodson - just relaunched his blog after a break and I'm reminded of how he's a great designer. He's really great at it.
  • Ash Punch - He's a music/culture nut - he some how finds music and other cultural things that I jsut love getting into. He's like a cultural rudder and he's great at it. Plus he's a great friend, that's just an added bonus.
  • The Programming Team at Bunbury Hot FM/Radiowest - These guys, the whole team are really freaking great at making captivating radio, the kind of radio I love to listen to.
  • Mike Penny - Mike's my boss at Radiowest Esperance and he's simply a great manager, he runs a profitable radio station that isn't a bore to work at either.
  • Scott McDonald - Scotty makes great radio on 96Five in Brisbane, the kids of Brisbane love it because he's great at it.
  • Dom Knight - I was lucky enough to chat to Dom on my show a few weeks back and just got my copy of Comrades, his new book. He's a great writer. A great comedy writer but also author.
I could sit here and name so many people, I had to stop myself otherwise I'd be blogging all morning, but my point is that I'm good at many things, not so good at some, better at others. But I'm not great at one thing.

I do website design, but it’s nowhere near as creative, original and inspiring that Doddo, Tea Brennan and other web designing mates do - I’m humbled when I see their work. I also walk away humbled listening to my mates on radio, they do a bloody amazing job but every morning I sit in my Esperance studio stumbling my way through hoping that I get to 9am without falling over. Then I’ll try to write something that’s not about me and I get three words, most probably clichés to boot.

I think I’d like to be great at something.
