A lovely golf course in Dubai. A round with a mate. And a running commentary on everything that’s wrong.

“We can’t all be as positive as you, Gary.”

“Well, why not?”

In this Purposeful episode, Gary Robertson takes a little golf-course grumbling and turns it into a bigger question: how much energy are we spending on things we can’t change?

With a cheeky nudge at the “emotional vampires” around us, Gary explores gratitude, adaptability and the difference between what concerns us and what we can actually influence.

Then it’s down to business. Worried about competitors using agentic AI? Gary suggests taking a fresh look through a familiar tool: SWOT—strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. What could become possible if leaders and their teams approached change together?

Your purposeful challenge: Pick one thing you’ve been moaning about. What can you influence—and what’s one action you could take today?
