My guest today is Carolyn Creswell. As Australian listeners probably know, Carolyn is the founder of Carman’s muesli, which is in pretty much every supermarket in Australia and is exported to 32 countries around the world. Over the last 25 years, Carolyn has built Carman’s into a $100 million dollar business.

But there is so much more to Carolyn that just delicious tasting muesli. She has given so much thought to the way she works and this interview is full of really practical gems. We talk about:

Her morning routine
Why she doesn’t do coffee meetings - and what she does instead
Her trick to making new year’s resolutions stick
Her annual self-reflection ritual
The role self-discipline plays in her life
Why Carolyn doesn’t listen to the news
Carolyn’s happy place
How she plans her year in advance
Why she books all her hair appointments for the whole year in January
How she protects family time
Why Carolyn never eats lunch at her desk
Her favourite productivity apps
Carolyn’s novel way of using to-do list software
Why you will never catch Carolyn in a lie
Carolyn’s approach to giving feedback
