Crypto is the currency of the metaverse and this episode is a great way of understanding more about how it works and how anyone can be a cryptopreneur in both short term trading  and long term investment   KEY TAKEAWAYS Bitcoin is becoming more valuable as it's used more There are lots of exciting uses for bitcoin and its where people are storing their wealth With Crypto, you are your own bank and you need your own security protocols Crypto has been designed with decentralisation and safety in mind A bank can be hacked more easily than a blockchain There may be controls introduced to regulate it but it won't be possible to centralise it The exciting thing with crypto is the metaverse and this will be the driver for it developing further It's the ecosystem of the virtual world and it will grow Start with the big exchanges and  the top hundred coins Buy at the bottom and sell at the top For long term investment research, the coin you are looking to buy and don't worry about any dips in value    BEST MOMENTS ‘People say it's just a bit of code but money is just a bit of paper' ‘It's definitely the future ‘I mainly trade on price now, if you buy at support and sell at resistance you can make money'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series      ABOUT THE GUEST Andy Tully I am a cryptopreneur I have made my fortune by buying and selling cryptocurrency and it's what I currently do full time to this day. I'm super passionate about crypto as it has given me the freedom to be able to do what I want, when I want, with whoever I want.   Now my mission is to try and get as many people enjoying crypto as much as I do. So I teach total beginners how to start investing into crypto to give them a solid portfolio and investment plan. I teach people that already know about crypto how to streamline their portfolios so they are able to get a steady income stream. I also run an investment fund as not everyone has time to learn so I invest for them.   I wasn't always a cryptopreneur. I used to be an electrician and had my own electrical contracting company. For about 20 years I've been trading the financial markets as a hobby/side hustle this was used to pay for my holidays, renovations, etc   I became aware of crypto in 2015 and purchased my first Bitcoin in 2016 but didn't really think it was something that would stick around but I have always dabbled in it and kept an eye on it as it started to get more and more mainstream.   March 2020 came and Bitcoin was about $4k. Covid 19 was here and we were all in lock down, this is when I really hit it full time. I had temporarily closed my electrical company and just did crypto, this is when I started teaching people over zoom and how to get in and trade crypto.   So at the moment my son runs my electrical business and I just eat, sleep and breathe crypto and I am truly living the dream.   ABOUT THE HOST Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange, and interest rates to operational risk from the world's top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS, and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).

Everyone wants freedom in some way or another, from time freedom, financial freedom to freedom from pain and chronic illness but where do freedoms come from? Alex reflects on the crucial role of building discipline if you want to create freedom of any sort and explains how when you begin your day with three key habits you will be setting yourself up to be disciplined throughout your day. He also shares the tactics that when implemented mean you can achieve high levels of discipline across all your daily routines and ultimately more freedom   KEY TAKEAWAYS Freedom comes from discipline the more disciplined you become the more freedom you will have Waking before dawn doing a workout and completing the least desirable tasks first will create more discipline throughout the day As soon as weaknesses arise get angry at them Radio silence mode is about always having a plan that is understood well enough to be completed in silence doing what you need to do When you get into the habit of laughing Silence can help you concentrate fully on successfully completing detailed tasks Laughing at challenges makes them less powerful and when you make this a habit and discipline it makes it easier to move forward   BEST MOMENTS ‘Discipline begets discipline' ‘Follow the key morning habits to create the discipline you need to build freedom'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series    Discipline Equals Freedom by Jocko Willink   ABOUT THE HOST Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange and interest rates to operational risk from the world's top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).

Alex looks how as life is finite for everyone finding a way to do the things that really matter and experience them completely is the way to achieve what really counts and brings you joy With the average life being made up of around four thousand weeks managing your time in the best way should be what's really important but often we become overwhelmed and make choices that are about being busy instead of meaningful. Alex has great advice listen in and hear more   KEY TAKEAWAYS The average life is around four thousand weeks To remove existential overwhelm make a list of  your twenty-five life goals in priority order and then focus only on the top five Concentrate completely on the first five goals on your list You need to create vacancies on the closed list before you move anything from the open list Adopt  strategic underachievement and concentrate on doing a few things really well Focus on doing well the things that are meaningful When you slow down and eliminate being busy all the time everything becomes more meaningful Everything becomes more meaningful when you experience it as if you are doing it for the last time Get lost in the time and feeling of the experience and it becomes more meaningful   BEST MOMENTS ‘You can get caught in the efficiency trap.

A short but very insightful episode where Alex explores the concepts and illusions around time. He focuses on the importance of using your time wisely and reminding yourself what a precious resource it is to us all. KEY TAKEAWAYS Depending on the context, time can feel like it is flying by or like it is 'dragging'. For example, if you are waiting in an airport 10 minutes can easily feel like an hour but in contrast, your wedding day whizzes past. Time is the finite of resources that we have. We are all given 24 hours in the day but we all use it differently. It's so important that we use it wisely and treat it like the precious resource it is.

Everyone has a life story but as Paul explains it's a story you can change if you want to, you just need to ask yourself ‘who do I choose to be?'   KEY TAKEAWAYS Whatever story we create in our lives it's just a story so you can change it if you want I'd gone from being a creative person to being a destroyer Whatever happens in my life I always stand and fight I built things up so that I could pull them down and was in a repeating cycle for this behaviour It's the higher self within you that is saying don't give in you can get through this The stuff we keep hold of from the past doesn't help us we need to learn from it and move on My own story defies logic but ultimately I'm so grateful for everything that has happened in my life It can be the question of “who do I choose to be?” Your path leads you to the place you are meant to be Every relationship consolidated  and built on my understanding of love and helped me to know that my purpose was to teach My values in life – without life there is nothing, it's sacred, Learning – be prepared to always learn and change your story, Loving – comes in many different ways, Legacy – a journey of self-discovery is about being able to share it, Loyalty – be loyal to yourself and learn to speak your own truth Part of the journey is finding out what your higher source so that you can serve it fully You need to bring together awareness and action to make changes Everyone is a world game-changer whether they realise it or not World game changers are global and its tribe is growing weekly   BEST MOMENTS ‘Leave the world a better place' ‘How can you reach out to others who are suffering from adversity if you haven't been there yourself?' ‘The world is big enough for difference and diversity'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series    http://www.paul-lowe.com http://www.worldgamechangers.org   ABOUT THE GUEST The Early Years The early, foundation years of Paul's life, were forged from a dark, desperate baptism of fire, that included from abuse, cruelty, neglect, alcoholism and attempted suicide; eventually emerging to become a successful, positive and inspirational man with a powerful message to share… this is at the heart of his coaching methods. He knows that others can achieve their true, full potential – despite their circumstances – because he's done it himself! His honest, real and grounded approach focused on achieving clarity around YOUR awareness, YOUR identity, and YOUR purpose is what helps Paul engage with any audience and change lives for the better…   Paul Today The Paul of today is a completely different proposition from the awareness, identity and purpose, he reflected for many dark decades. He spends most of his time in his beloved Spain, whilst occasionally returning to his native UK. His contributions to making a difference in people's lives, globally – is fuelled by his own commitment to be the very best he can be. His many books are also based on inspiring people to lead purposeful, prosperous lives; as is his ‘World Game-Changers' podcast.

Alex looks at how and when your sub-conscious forms and how your paradigm and beliefs determine your results If you aren't getting the results you want you can change your paradigm and Alex shares advice on how you can do this, effectively reprogramming your to achieve the results you want. Any change is dependent on action so listening to this episode and implementing Alex's advice is a great way to start.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are young you don't have any subconscious but as you grow everything around you is absorbed and becomes part of your paradigm Your operating system is set by your environment At 6-7 years you begin to develop your conscious mind As you learn to think and choose you learn what you will accept The subconscious mind doesn't separate the real and unreal Your body is vibration and your vibration is what determines your results through action Your paradigm controls your perception of situations and how successful you are. Your paradigm and beliefs will determine your results If your operating system has limits you won't take the actions to earn substantial money When there is a conflict between your conscious and subconscious mind your subconscious mind will always win. Changing your paradigm is what changes your results and this is achieved through repetition. It's about working smart and using specific knowledge. Once you have an awareness of your paradigm you can change it through the right actions Affirmations are a powerful way to change your beliefs. You need to reprogram yourself and have the faith to believe that the change is already here.   BEST MOMENTS ‘When you are very young you are an empty vessel' ‘Your subconscious mind will always drive your actions' ‘The universe will deliver opportunities if you are looking for them'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series      ABOUT THE HOST Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange and interest rates to operational risk from the world's top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).

Elliot Kay works with Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, MD's & Investors to help them stand out when they are public speaking, pitching or looking to win business through public speaking.  In this episode, he talks about ‘being more giraffe' and rising above the crowd for the right reasons and why owning your purpose is key in moving forward. It can be easier to settle and not take action but making a determined decision about what matters to you will mean you can move towards the results you want and understand that any pain on the journey is hugely outweighed by the rewards you will achieve KEY TAKEAWAYS Anyone can choose to stand out, anyone can choose to make a dent and everyone can disrupt an industry. Not everyone is willing to take the hits and do what they need to do to get to where they want to be because it's a path full of rejection and negativity Being someone who chooses to stand out is about managing the anxiety every day. You are always on the edge and not everyone can deal with that Anybody can stand out and make a difference, it's the choice and bravery and the willingness to take what comes with it A lot of people  settle instead of taking action to achieve what they want If you make a determined decision the results and rewards outweigh the pain to get there If you are always stuck on the ‘how' you won't ever move. When things matter you find the time, space and energy and make them happen If it matters to you, you find a way With mindset, you have to find what works for you Mindset is an evolution it's a process that's never-ending It's better to start and learn as you go along because the results will outweigh doing nothing Fail forward, if you are going to fail do it moving forward and learn. Immediate results don't happen it's about working hard day by day and moving forward bit by bit Be more giraffe is about rising above the crowd for all the right reasons  BEST MOMENTS ‘Public speaking exposes every part of your life' ‘You can stand out in different ways and at different levels' ‘Stand out for being you, you will get judged so get judged for being the best version of you'  VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series    Speaker Express ABOUT THE GUEST ELLIOT KAY For the last decade, Elliot has worked with Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, MD's & Investors in order to help them stand out when they are public speaking, pitching or looking to win business through public speaking.  Elliot's unique and effective structures, impactful delivery training and teaching “language that lands” has helped them to hone their messaging, perfect their stories and thus win them more business.  Elliot's best-selling books include “Speak Influence Sell”, “Power To Succeed” and has also written, “It's Your Right To Be Wrong”.

In this episode Alex answers the question ‘is cash trash?' and explains why some people believe this. He shares great content on how you can invest wisely and break into success and the real difference between assets and their ability to generate cash flow.

In this inspiring episode, Alex talks to Angela Msonthi whose inspirational story is one of courage and enduring faith in the face of adversity and challenge.

As someone with enduring faith, Angela has moved forward intentionally in her life with the positive support of others and is sharing her story to encourage others to ask for help when they need it to overcome their fears   KEY TAKEAWAYS When I was diagnosed with breast cancer, everything changed on that day, I'm not the same person I was before There were many people around me praying with me and this positive support helped me with my fears It's been my faith that has kept me going and carried me through the challenges You need to have an awareness and if you think something is wrong you need to take action and get it sorted out When you don't understand something you should access all the information that you can to learn and understand more. I surrounded myself with people who were strong and had a strong mindset You need people around you who can help you to understand what's happening to you You need to reflect and understand  what your priorities in life are I try to be intentional in what I do and find joy in helping others A life challenge brings a new perspective on life and your prioritising You need to be intentional in your life and invest in yourself. I speak out now  because I want to help other people I want to do things that bring me joy and I'm passionate about. Taking small steps consistently is what makes the difference   BEST MOMENTS ‘I'm very strong in my faith and that has really helped my beliefs helped me to cope with the fear' ‘I reached out to people who were strong and could help' ‘I've learnt to open up and to weigh up each situation'   VALUABLE RESOURCES Business, Wealth and Mindset podcast series      ABOUT THE GUEST Angela Msonthi in her own words...   I am a wife to Grey Msonthi and we have two children a boy aged 17 and a girl aged 15. I was born in Malawi and have lived in the UK for over 20 years having trained as a registered nurse working in London. Here I share my experience of being diagnosed and living with secondary breast cancer.   I was 44 when I first faced breast cancer. I found a lump, went to my GP and was referred to the breast cancer clinic. Unfortunately, after all the tests I was diagnosed with breast cancer.  I had surgery and radiotherapy then went back to work a few months later. Sadly, 18 months later I started to experience pain in my hip and after a bone scan, I was told that the cancer had spread to my pelvis. I was treated with radiotherapy and monthly injections. But, in June 2020,  I received my third cancer diagnosis after a regular scan,  this time in the liver. I had surgery to remove the affected part of the liver and six cycles of chemotherapy.   I am so grateful to God and for all the support from friends and family. I  want to make my own cancer journey a positive/ hopeful one by sharing my experience and raising awareness about breast cancer in my community. I want to be the voice that prompted someone to check their body and remained hopeful when faced with a challenge.  I want to let people know that they should seek help and advice when they are concerned about their health. Even if I help just one person that will make me very happy and this message would have been worthwhile   ABOUT THE HOST Alex is a prize-winning chartered accountant with experience in financial markets from trading finance, capital hedging, structural foreign exchange and interest rates to operational risk from the world's top financial and advisory institutions including Deloitte, RBS and JPMorgan Chase Alex has been involved in property development programmes across different types since 2008, building and managing a portfolio that includes standard buy-to-lets, student accommodation and other houses in multiple occupancy (HMOs).
