What is Manifesting Agency?

Conversations with people who get sh*t done.

Ian: 00:00

So we're finally doing this then.

Esther: 00:03

Yeah.

Ian: 00:03

It's been a while.

Esther: 00:04

It's been a long while. But I feel like we needed the time.

Ian: 00:09

Well, better get on with it then.

Ian: 00:21

So should we introduce ourselves?

Esther: 00:23

Probably. I'm Esther.

Ian: 00:26

And I'm Ian. What's all this about then?

Esther: 00:30

It's about getting things done.

Ian: 00:33

So our tagline is “Talking to people who get sh*t done”, and we've actually made a really great list of some of those people that we're gonna be talking to as we progress through the 1st season of Manifesting Agency. And, some of them have even agreed to do it.

Esther: 00:50

Have they?

Ian: 00:51

Oh, yes. We've got at least 2 that have agreed to do it. So we'll build on that. But I think what we're saying is that you can expect 8 episodes of people who get stuff done and have a track record of doing it, and they'll tell us what it was like. We'll get their stories.

Esther: 01:09

And maybe that will help us, you, we. No, not we. Us get things done.

Ian: 01:18

So we'll talk to these people, find out what makes them start things, and how they kept going when it got difficult. We already have episode 1 lined up. We're going to be talking to Kath Steward. So why are we talking to Kath?

Esther: 01:33

Because she's my Mum.

Ian: 01:36

Okay.

Esther: 01:37

The reason we will be talking to Kath is she has initiated a lot of local projects and not only has she started them, she has been successful in delivering them, in in following through and and the whole process.

Ian: 01:54

Yeah. Because that's actually the hard bit, isn't it? Is it's not starting things. It's it's finishing them. It's it's it's delivering them.

Esther: 02:01

Totally. Yeah.

Ian: 02:03

So I think, it's gonna be great to to talk to Kath and hear what she has to say about how she's done that. Fantastic.

Ian: 02:16

Awkward eye contact. Are we finished yet? Are we there yet?

Esther: 02:20

I'm really bad at ending things.

Ian: 02:29

Well, I think we're we're good.
