Smash The Box

A personal message from me to sign off this podcast series. In this final and 100th episode I pay tribute to all 99 of the amazing and inspiring guests that have appeared in the series, as well as those who have helped to make it happen. I also share some of my personal journey, the purpose behind starting the podcast and the reason for ending it now. I cover grief, coaching and the effect of the pandemic. As well as reflecting back, I also look forward to 2021 with optimism, excitement and patience(!) as I share my future direction and new creation; HOLISTIC ADVENTURES (holistic-adventures.com). If life is a book, then Smash The Box has been an incredible chapter. Thank you above all to YOU, the listener for taking the time out to spend with me. Whether you’ve listened to all the episodes, a small section or even just one, my hope is that the impact has been a positive one. I for one, have learnt so much from my guests. Stories make the world go round. The aim was always to share stories from all walks of life with a view to inspiring others and effecting positive change in people. To give airtime to stories that deserved it and might not otherwise have been heard. I think we achieved that. Wishing you all love and positive energy for the year ahead. Mark Pitcher shall return in 2021…with HOLISTIC ADVENTURES. Part Holistic Retreat/Part Coaching Workshop/Part Adventure Camp, Holistic Adventures is for anyone on a healing journey. Because not all healing has to take place within the confines of a white walled therapists office. For any initial enquires, contact; mark@holistic-adventures.com. Watch this space...

Inspiration is a word that comes up a lot when speaking with Cleo McLaren. Not only is she an inspiring human being, a practising lawyer, certified coach and podcaster, but she is also role model to single Mum’s everywhere. Cleo takes her own inspiration from her mother, who raised her on her own and gave her strength. Cleo also cites her primary school teacher who gave her confidence at an early age. “She chose me to be Dorothy in The Wizard Of Oz” and it started there! There is a realness to Cleo that is palpable through the way she talks and it carries over into her work; “My coaching is not just a bag load of mantras to repeat 10 times a day until you believe it, because life isn’t that simple”. She coaches from the heart and encourages clients to dig deeper. "Blips happen in life. We all experience hurt and joy. I want them to be able to bounce back, because there is always a way forward.” Her new podcast; 'Conversations With Cleo' is part-inspired by her brother whose achievements, despite an ongoing battle with cancer, have motivated Cleo to get his story out there NOW, rather than later. Cleo talks openly about her own health battles and how she has completely reframed her approach to fitness in a way that is calmer and now prioritises her own emotional well being. “My purpose is to share the love and light that I have with as many people as I can so, they may be uplifted and elevated in their lives. For more on how Cleo lives this purpose, tune into this warm, emotional and yet gritty and real episode as we cover coaching, family, the law and life/work balance.

Carolyn Ball is in a hurry. She’s in a hurry to help save the world for her children and future generations. She is acutely aware of the seismic task ahead of her and is smart and humble enough to know that she cannot do it alone. Always passionate and talented, Carolyn finally found a creative outlet for her dream and Save The World At Lunch was born. She is the first to admit it’s a personal passion project; “I am documenting something, rather than creating business”, she says humbly. It’s a project though with which she is determined to make an impact. A mini-movie series is about to launch; one for adults called and one for children, with a first trail coming in December 2020 called ‘An (In) Edible Inheritance'. The project centres around the importance of people making food and drink choices that serve the wider world and everyone in it. One aim is simply to inspire other families to also do things differently, which otherwise might not have and to see the results of that. Small steps lead to giant leaps. Carolyn sees much of the inertia that paralyses people due to the enormity of the challenge and is attempting to present something very accessible and simple, starting with her own family, that we can all apply in our own lives. Carolyn has always loved the food and drink hospitality sector and still passionately works the day job for Restaurant Associates. She also needed a creative outlet though, to express herself through and an idea was born. Listen in to this warm and wonderful podcast and you won’t help but be infected by Carolyn’s warmth, enthusiasm and passion for her subject, as we talk sustainability, food and drink, ice baths and roller skates!

“It’s taken me some serious ups and downs to work out what my purpose in life is; to give people the permission to live their life with real clarity of who they uniquely are”. So says, Author, Publisher, Mentor & Personal Brand Strategist, Jo Baldwin-Trott. In this inspiring and deeply reflective podcast, Jo openly shares the sadness and challenges of her personal story, and how she has come from a dark place of despair to a place of triumph and meaning in her life and work. We go deep into identity, confidence, vulnerability, equality, mental health and the difference between the sexes in how these issues are addressed, or not in some cases. Not afraid to skirt the big questions, Jo gives some great positive examples of those who are getting it right and others who are not. The world needs more honesty according to Jo and she sees many positives in a post-Covid world. “It’s very exciting time for equality. Everyone (on zoom) is the same size. It doesn’t matter how tall you or small you are, or what car you drive or how big your house is. And I love that about these times.” I only started publishing in lockdown. I’ve got a lot to say and so have many of my friends. The books I publish are for the greater good, for the social consciousness. Jo’s latest book ‘Being Fine: The Other F Word’ is out in December. It covers men’s mental health and features 15 (mostly male) contributing authors - including the host of this podcast. “So many people have asked me why are you, a woman, publishing a book with all these men in it?!” To find out Jo’s answer and a whole lot more, tune in to this enlightening podcast.

In amongst a sea of motivational speakers and coaches, John Ball stands out. A self-proclaimed ‘Edutainer’ and Coach, John helps people to create impact and have influence, in a way that is both ethical and ecological for themselves and their audience. We discuss the positives and negative of the art of persuasion and how it can be used for both good and bad. When it comes to leadership, John is very clear that public speaking and communication skills are a pre-requisite of being a leader, and not a ’soft skill’, as they are so often deemed. “I work with a lot of people who have been in business for years but never received any formal leadership or communication skills training. They are just expected to know it.” We cover a range of topics including female empowerment, the impact of Covid 19, vulnerability, self care and John’s own podcast; Speaking Of Influence. John explains something called ’Spiral Dynamics’; “The idea is that we have to pass through different values levels as part of our personal and societal evolution. You see this being played out in global politics”. John also covers some of the basics of creating impact when presenting over zoom and other online tools, including voice tonality, where to look, and camera angles.

Caner Veli is an action taker. His passion and pursuit of a work that serves the greater good has served him well, as well as others. “I’ve always challenged systems and processes with ‘why’? Why things are done a certain way.” After dropping out of university, Caner’s entrepreneurial curiosity and drive for success led to him being approached by Dragon’s Den in 2016. He prepared meticulously and received one of the largest investments given by the Dragons, in this case Touker Suleyman, as well as a standing ovation. His must see episode (easily found on You Tube) involved him standing in a paddling pool of water in a suit whilst pouring red wine all over himself, to promote the eco-friendly Liquiproof - his then business. After later successfully exiting that business, and always with a passion for the environment and sustainability, Caner has since gone on to form Kind Community - a movement and service that helps brands and citizens to put sustainability at the heart of what they do in a way that is both authentic and impactful. “It’s very hard for some businesses to pivot away from their traditionally profitable and often non-eco friendly models to something new and more sustainable. We help them do this.” It’s a very accessible community that’s growing fast. Whether you’re a conscious consumer or a conscious brand; “All are welcome”, says Caner. “We are simply a community of good people doing amazing things; making the sustainable attainable.

Three time author and uber-experienced HR Specialist Debra Corey is a rebel with a big heart. Recently named in the Top 100 Employee Engagement Influencers, Debra’s career spans 20+ years in the retail, hospitality and leisure sectors. Debra recently co-authored the Rebel Playbook For Employee Engagement with Reward Gateway CEO, Glen Elliott. “I’m in the 3rd curve of my career; my rebellious curve; my ‘pay it forward’ curve” she asserts. Debra talks about something called ‘the engagement bridge’ that leaders and managers need to cross. “Many leaders don’t understand the implications of their actions. 70-80% of managers are promoted because of their technical skills and are not prepared for management.We need to equip them, help them”. Having moved from the US to the UK - “my 2nd curve” - Debra talks about the contrasting leadership styles between the 2 countries. “It’s more in your face in the US than in the UK, although it is changing”. For those interested in leadership, management and employee engagement, this episode is a masterclass. Debra opens up her pandora’s box of wisdom and tips for aspiring leaders; “We need to talk more about ‘job design’. Many people are forced into management because it’s the only to get more money”. You are invited to join the revolution and learn Debra’s top 3 tips for leading and engaging. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Caroline takes us on a wonderful journey in this natural health focussed episode. A homeopath, wellness coach and author of Bird Is The Word (out Spring 2021), Caroline’s love for bird watching is more than a matter of passion, it’s a matter of health. We cover the health benefits of getting out in nature and spending time watching and following these beautiful creatures. Caroline takes us via some wonderful places as she opens up on a healing journey that has led to homeopathy and natural medicine. She explains the chakras, the effects of menopause and ‘perma culture’. A 10 Day Detox six years ago was one of several pivotal moments. “I got to Day 8 and thought ’this is how we are meant to feel all of the time'”. It was another turning point. “I got into natural health through my children” she reflects, and gets emotional as she recites some of the powerful dreams she experienced whilst living in Western Australia. There are name checks for a few of those that have been a major influence on her physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Healing energy frequencies, the rhythm of the planets and essential fatty acids -it’s all here. Tune in for a spiritual and personal journey through nature and natural health that will fascinate and inspire many. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

A self-proclaimed “northern pirate”, Michelle Minnikin is a Chartered Psychologist and Co-Captain of Work Pirates. “We’re like the A-Team, but for organisations”, says Michelle. The business is every bit as cheeky and rebellious as Michelle herself and her heart is clearly in it. Pirates don’t do ‘rules’ but they do have 'a code’ and so does Work Pirates. Happiness at work, life/work balance (in that order), loving work and helping organisations to help themselves - these are some of things that Michelle and ‘her crew’ are fighting for. Pirate analogies aside, Michelle speaks with a candour and an honesty about herself that is refreshing many will resonate with. Inspired by the book; Be More Pirate by Sam Connie Allende; “I loved every word”, Michelle not only adopted its principle but tracked down the author “I dragged him up to my house in Newcastle” she smiles and received his blessing to start putting his principles into practice. Michelle has that rare and wonderful knack of being able to simplify everything into a language that all can understand. Her superpowers? “I am able to put myself in others shoes and understand what makes them tick. And “I’m not afraid to have difficult conversations”. Coaching, psychology and laughter abound as well as a quite brilliant and insightful history of pirates (did you know that pirates invented cocktails?!) in this swashbuckling episode!

After growing up in a family of scouts, Stephen Brown has always had a passion for the outdoors. He spent his early years working as a Kayak Instructor for various adventure tour companies before taking the brave step to go out on his own. After one false start, Stephen decided to boost his confidence by attending his first fire walk; “You never forget your first fire walk experience”. So profound was the experience, Stephen then qualified as a Master Fire Walk Instructor and was soon running his own events. He created Firewalking Ireland and Firewalking International. Firewalking has taken him as far as Bali and The Sahara and launched him into the world of personal development. “I love the depth work of getting people outside their comfort zone and experiencing new things”. Stephen has a wonderful calmness and depth about him that engenders trust. It is one such quality that lends well to his co-career as a Practioner of Compassionate Enquiry. Under the expert tutelage of Gabor Mate ("In The Realm of Hungry Ghosts" & "When The Body Says No”), Stephen helps people overcome addictions and other issues resulting from a childhood trauma. Noble work from a noble human. Just like Stephen’s own purpose, this episode is enlightening, enriching, educational and helpful on every level.

Born out of her own lived experience of trying to parent and help her daughter, Sam with first Anorexia and then OCD, Lynn Crilly created Hope With Mental Health. She describes it as "a community for sharing hope & opening up the conversation around mental health.” Lynn has already penned three books; Hope With Eating Disorders, Hope With OCD, Hope With Depression and a fourth; Hope With Anxiety will be released in November 2020. After giving up her job, Lynn now devotes all her time to the community as well as running her own private counselling practice. Sam’s battle with mental illness started 15 years ago and has taken her to some dark places. After a family intervention, Sam has been supported unconditionally by her family and particularly her twin sister Charlotte. She is now well into recovery, yet still has to be aware of triggers that might re-awaken her illness. In this no holds barred episode, all three speak with a candour and honesty that reveals the true havoc that these debilitating illnesses can wreck on lives. Sam has since found new purpose and therapy in drama and poetry. In fact, her own book Hope Through Poetry has just been released. During the podcast, Sam reads aloud a poem called 'Dear Suicide…’ - a powerful moment. As well as supporting Sam, Charlotte is the talent behind the You Tube Channel and strong social media presence the community has built up. The core themes here are to never give up and to always be communicating as a family. "Trust your family more than the illness” says Sam. Honesty, vulnerability and laughter abound in this brave and inspiring podcast. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Nathanael Zurbruegg has been chronically ill for over 30 years. He has undergone 4500 life saving treatments, battled depression and hearing loss. Nathanael is a self-described Victorious Mindset Mentor. As the Founder of Unlimit You -his own personal development business - he is also an accomplished International Speaker and Coach. After losing his kidney’s to a life threatening illness as a child, Nathanael has spent his whole life receiving dialisys. Written off by doctors after falling into a coma as a child, the miracle of Nathanael’s story began when his life support machine was turned off. “My parents were told there was nothing more that could be done and were told to come into the ICU to say farewell to their son. The life support machine was switched off, and at that moment I started to talk”. It hasn’t been plain sailing - a bout of severe depression as a teenager brought dark thoughts. Nathanel cites the support of his family on a practical and emotional level as one explainable reason for helping him survive this lowest point. He also cites an “unexplainable spiritual relationship” with his faith as being instrumental - something which continues to drive him to this day. “Looking at a situation with an optimistic mindset builds hope and momentum. We all have a choice to look to the mountains, to the sun and not down into the valleys where the deadly snakes are.” If ever there was an living example of never giving up, Nathanael is it. Through his work, Nathanael talks passionately about the 4 pillars that he practices and teaches to help and inspire others on their journey. To find out what they are, tune in to this deep and heartfelt episode for his full story. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

“I’ve always been interested in how people do work rather than the official descriptions of what people do”. So says Alex Soojung-Kim Pang. After moving to Silicon Valley in the late 90’s and working as a futurist and forecaster for several venerable think tanks, Alex has managed to create a 2nd co-career as a writer. The author of 3 books; The Distraction Addiction, Rest and the latest; Shorter. Shorter deals with how organisations and companies can re-design their workdays to allow more rest into the lives of their people without reducing productivity. As founder of Strategy & Rest, Alex has always been interested in creativity and how people gain insights and new ideas. He is keen to illuminate the role that downtime, leisure time can play in this. He examines activities that 'don’t look like work’ and are ’seemingly unimportant' and seeks to prove this is not true! Creating space for rest, for hobbies, for “deep play” can foster the creative process. "We need to pay attention to this stuff”, he asserts. Alex cites the proven and documented stories of Darwin, Beethoven and Ernest Hemingway and the role downtime played in their creative genius. The latest book also deals with busy professionals who are in 24/7, "always on” industries and how reducing their ‘work’ hours can actually improve productivity. In this fascinating and insightful and up to date episode, we cover the effects of Covid-19, 4 Day Weeks and technology. Alex further cites William Gibson; “The future is here, it’s just not evenly distributed yet” and adds; "The 4 Day Week is already here. It’s just buried under a pile of rubble of outdated thinking. You just have to grab it”. Tune in to here the future of work! Smash The Box is a personal development business.

“I had never travelled outside of the USA before age 23” says Sarah Dodd, when describing a nomadic journey that has since seen her travel alone to 123 countries and counting. A Self-Mastery Coach and Keynote Speaker, world travel has proved to be something of an awakening for Sarah and you really get the sense that the journey has been as much internal as it has external. Coming from adverse circumstances, Sarah always dreamed of a better life. “I knew there was something missing" she says. She changed her life in a lunch break one day, quit her former job as a nurse and swapped Arkansas for Spain, which she now calls home. Always challenging herself out of her comfort zone, she quickly learnt the language and delivered a TEDx Talk in Leon, in Spanish in 2016. Through her travels, Sarah has picked up a sizeable 100,000 followers on Instagram and set herself a target of 196 countries. What happens then? “I will never stop travelling” says Sarah and you sense she’s talking metaphorically as well as literally when she discusses the future; “I don’t believe in destinations, only journeys” . Sarah blogs and vlogs her experiences whilst travelling alongside positive coaching and personal development tips. “Wealth to me is freedom and peace, not just financial” she reveals as she lays down a challenge for everyone; “Get a coach, find your purpose, push past fear and whatever you want to do, just do it” Listen in to find out more about Sarah’s life and journey.

Rob's message to girls is simple; “Whether you like football or have never kicked a ball in your life, it doesn’t matter.

By day Ellie Steele is a Marketing Manager for the beautiful Georgian House Hotel in London’s Pimlico. By night she dons her cape and is Food & Lifestyle Blogger; “Just for fun”, she says. Ellie has always had a strong emotional connection with food. Ellie was influenced by her environment growing up; “I was raised on home grown organic ingredients and my mother was always hosting and cooking for friends”. In a world where we are bombarded by health information, fake images and fad diets, Ellie brings a breath of fresh air, common sense and responsibility via her Instagram Blog; “ellies_eats16” ; "My want is to find the correct balance between the enjoyment of food and understanding what I am putting into my body and the impact of that”. Ellie talks openly and honestly about the time it took to adjust to life in London and then the early realisation that despite having a great time, the almost mandatory after work partying and socialising wasn’t actually making her happy. Preparing and sharing healthy food choices became part of the small things each day that improved her mental and emotional wellbeing as well as her physical wellbeing. She expands on the concept of mindful eating and is full of praise for her employer; she learnt about mindful eating via the ‘Wellness Wednesdays’ that are an important part of her company’s culture. Whether she knows it or not, Ellie is a great role model for young women who love food and want to enjoy it, whilst making healthy choices and understanding why they eat.

There are three things that Simone cannot live without; one is speaking, one is basketball and one is playing the digeridoo. These days a successful entrepreneur, podcaster, three- time author and motivational speaker, his business - GTEX - turns experts into authorities by providing a framework business model to enable passionate entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs to get their voices heard and make income as well as impact. It was not always thus. “I am a very driven person. I am all in or nothing.” Simone explains the pivotal moments in his life and how they shaped him and still do. After his parents split at 14, Simone was determined to take responsibility for himself and help provide for his mother. An all-in detour via hospitality saw him go from waiter to managing a Michelin starred restaurant aged 19. A self-initiated stint living out of a backpack and effectively being homeless for two years led to an activist phase, helping to set up Occupy London, outside the London Stock Exchange. Today he is paid up part of the capitalism that he used to rebel against. “It’s an interesting paradox that there I was shouting “screw capitalism!” and now here I am running three businesses” he laughs. Whilst creating change and making an impact has always been a core theme, Simone has changed his approach; “I was living in a world of conspiracy theories. Activism is about destroying and I realised I prefer to impact through creating something positive, something new.” Simone's passion is infectious as he invites us all focus on the positive and explains how what you focus on expands.

Steve Bode wants to start a revolution; a revolution in how we use our minds. The author of the fantastically titled ‘Enlightened Master Seeks Apprentice’ , Steve is also founder of The Nudge Club. “The premise of the book is that your future self is writing a book to the universe - giving you lessons that you will learn - hoping that your present self gets it now.” Steve addresses the power and potential of the human mind and the fact that as social creatures, we often want to be like the people we see succeeding, which means that we often miss out on our own unique potential in our pursuit to emulate one another. Steve also describes the book as a way by-pass potential trouble and assumed truths through this relationship with your future self. In this fascinating interview, Steve explains in simple everyday language some of the reasons why people get stuck in life. “People get stuck in thought loops. We have between 50-70,000 thoughts everyday and 98% of them are the same thoughts as we had yesterday and the day before”. Steve is interested in the developing the other 2% - the creative future thoughts - that embrace the uncertainty of the future that many of us fear. “There is a difference between having a thought and talking to yourself”. Steve offers tips on managing thoughts, time and how to to stop thinking and start doing. All of this and more in this refreshing and enlightening podcast.

Paul Mumford is a man of many talents. He describes himself as “Fitness Chap, Radio Presenter, Filmmaker”. As a former Breakfast Radio presenter on SGR, Paul is these days a qualified personal trainer, nutritionist and resident health expert for BBC Radio Essex. He is also the author of a book called The Accumulator, which he has documented into a program and video series. All of this as well as being a “bare foot runner”. In this wide ranging and refreshing podcast, Paul expands on his varied career and talks about 'the breaks that fixed him’ and why he used to be known as “Frankie”…”I like to have a certain amount of control but then see where life takes me”. He is inspired by the movie; Sliding Doors. After always wanting to be on the radio, Paul started as a DJ in clubs, then hospital radio and was the “flying eye” presenting travel news, before getting his first big break as a breakfast radio presenter. During this time he developed a back problem which led him down a physiological and fitness route. He soon developed a passion for it and when things changed at the radio station, he simply thought “what else do I enjoy?” And qualified as a personal trainer. Another break. Video production (Paul’s videos are great!) is another passion and one which he also turned into a business. His own podcast - The Big Little Business Show - aimed at entrepreneurs, is also about to launch. “I just say yes to things. I’m in my 4th career now”, he smiles.

Pam Lidford is not just a Confidence Coach. She is THE Confidence Coach. Aged 7, Pam wanted to save the world. She didn’t. She did what most of us do and got a job. Never feeling fully satisfied, she moved into Adult Education and started to feel like she was making a difference to people’s lives. However, endless restructures, moving goal posts and ever more bureaucracy, again left Pam feeling unfulfilled. That’s when Pam discovered the power of coaching and she’s never looked back. A full-time coach and trainer in her own right - for both personal and corporate - and a cornerstone trainer for The Coaching Academy, arguably the UK’s leading coaching school. Pam knows her stuff. As a client, I can vouch for this! We cover Coaching, Mentoring, Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Tapping (EFT) and other modalities - all of which Pam has in her locker. Pam is a master at eliciting people’s real values (not their aspirational ones!) and at helping people overcome limiting and negative beliefs that might have been holding them back. “We get in life what we deserve we believe, not what we want” she says profoundly. "Coaching is for people who are ready OR are interested in finding out if they’re ready to become the person they need to be to achieve what it is they want”. “75% of people are motivated by what they don’t want,” she adds. Pam opens up on some the personal benefits coaching has brought to her own family, aside from any professional goals. Whether you are interested in coaching, in becoming a coach or are open to learning more about it, this podcast is a true masterclass. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

After only just surviving an horrific car fire in 1970, at the tender age of 18, James Partridge describes his journey through life and the affects of growing up with facial disfigurement. Now a two time author and social entrepreneur, James puts an enormous amount of time and energy into helping others, who have also suffered similar disfigurements. “It took me 5 years to adjust to a new reality. (The accident) completely changed my life. I was a Guernsey dairy farmer when the first book came out. Social entrepreneurship didn’t really exist back then" James describes his latest book; Face It, as ‘part memoir, part self help manual, part manifesto for change’. James cause is not helped by how Hollywood often portrays people with facial imperfections as unfriendly villains (think James Bond), as well as some of the myths surrounding plastic surgery. In this incredibly honest and vulnerable podcast, we cover the stigma and prejudices of growing up with facial imperfections, and also James’s own self-imposed prejudices and limiting beliefs about what was attainable from life. James set up the charity, Changing Faces in the early nineties, to help others deal with the psycho-social challenges of navigating life with a facial imperfection. “Face-ism,” as James calls it is also dealt with in the 2nd part of James’s latest book. “People need help to deal with themselves, and to deal with the rest of the world.” This podcast is a profound invitation to learn, to liberate oneself of and adopt facial equality.

“In my family, if one person does something, we all do it” says Paolo Ben Salmi. Paolo is on a mission to get kids off their iPads and into the world. Already a published author, podcaster and youngest ambassador for the not-for-profit Water To Go, this would be impressive for most people, yet Paolo has achieved all of this aged only 11 years old. Together with his 4 siblings, Paolo has benefited from home schooling and active encouragement from Mum, Sabrina. With positivity, personal development and creativity abound, Paolo comes from talented stock. Paolo sees his life as two journeys; the self discovery journey and the external journey. The self-discovery should be practised daily, according to Paolo. A natural born speaker, Paolo refers to his self-discovery as an adventure. “It should be fun,” says Paolo. Using stories and analogies that bely his 11 years, it is hard not be captivated by Paolo’s enthusiasm and positivity. He has even created his own personal development course aimed at kids and young teens. In amongst all of these mature pursuits, Paolo still finds time for play and is an ardent Arsenal supporter. "I want to be the director of my own movie” says Paolo confidently and even has some questions of his own for the interviewer! Tune in for more in this pint sized podcast!

As success as professional footballer, notably for Brighton & Celtic, Adam Virgo has won his fair share of battles on the pitch. These days, Adam is a familiar face and voice on BT Sport where he commentates on National and European leagues. He also writes for a number of football publications. It is off the pitch however, where Adam has had to fight probably his toughest battle. That is working with dyslexia. After challenges at school, a professional football career meant that dyslexia was not much of an issue but now with a career in the media and public speaking engagements and interviews, it has reared its head again and Adam outlines some of the obstacles he has had to overcome in order to get where he is today. “I practice talking to myself every day and especially before a (commentary) game." At the time of recording, this podcast interview is only the 2nd time that Adam has talked about his dyslexia in public and by doing so draws awareness to this much overlooked and underestimated disorder. "Even my employer has no idea of the challenges I have before each game”. Adam reflects on his time at schoolchildren are more protected these days but back then I was bullied and ridiculed a lot. I wanted to learn and paid attention in class but my dyslexia prevented me from translating my learning to the exam. I was always at the bottom. Yet at sport, I was an A star pupil". At such a young age, Adam couldn’t understand why kids who weren’t good at sport were not ridiculed yet if you struggled academically, you were.” These days Adam goes the extra mile when researching and making notes for his commentary on games. “Because I want to and because I have to,” says Adam. “Football is a spontaneous game. I always have to be prepared for the unexpected”. The last thing Adam wants is sympathy and worries that the school model has not advanced much over the last century in terms of how information is delivered and that the experience if you’re dyslexic is much the same today as it’s always been. Adam is as compelling to listen to as he was to watch as player and I have now forgiven him for scoring all those goals against my own team back in the day! Adam talks proudly about the Academy he has created for aspiring young footballers in Brighton. “Hard work will always pay off in the end, “ he imparts.

“After bonding over Maslow, Amy & Sam quickly discovered they had a lot in common. They pooled their experiences - both personal and professional - to create their own People Consultancy, called Maslow’s (what else..!). Their aim is to shape culture, help people and teams to fulfil their potential both professionally and personally. “Happier people, better business success” summises Amy. “It extends to hiring, management and flexible working models…” adds Sam. In a world where we have become hyper-connected and the lines between work life increasingly blurred, stress levels have reached an all time high. This observation acted as a further catalyst for Amy & Sam to create the business and turn their ideas into action. We cover the effects of Covid-19, purpose, employer branding, self-actualistion, diversity, inclusion and why sometimes an employee leaving your business is the right thing - for them and for you. As concern for wellbeing and mental health in the workplace become more normalised, Amy & Sam emphasize the need for companies to take a more holistic approach to the welfare of their employees, if they are to have a chance of surviving and thriving in the long term and also de-bunks some of the myths around managing millenials. “If you are aware of diversity in general across people, rather than simply their ages, you are going to foster a culture where everybody feels included.” Listen out for Amy’s ‘airbag story’ and why self-actualistion is as relevant for business teams as it is for individuals.

Delilah Sullivan has a gift. It is a gift that allows her to channel energy from both spirit and land. And the earth is absolutely calling her right now. "It’s about having a two way conversation with the energy, a deeper way of listening and communicating, it’s powerful. Delilah reveals how her past work was human led, whereas now it’s the bigger picture in nature. "It was sparked by the trees. The trees are in crisis. We risk reaching a tipping point where we lose all the trees because they’re all interconnected. So the fires on the other side of the planet will affect the trees in our back garden. They’re all one and they’re all linked.” Delilah believes it’s possible to reverse this by helping trees to grow and heal and appreciating them more. "Rather than planting 100,000 trees, it’s about getting 100,000 people to appreciate and wish to plant just one tree” she offers. Delilah emphasises that it's the energy behind something that is most important. It’s the intention which carries everything; "It’s how we approach the world and ourselves and how we communicate and our intention behind it” Delilah talks about creating a heart centred life and doing whatever you have to do to keep your heart open, as a way to shape your life; "Any answer that comes from the head is not the truth. It’s useful and needs to be incorporated, not dismissed but my work is encouraging us to become more heart-centered, more grounded. That’s a very different experience of the same reality” Delilah encourages and invites us to create our actions from within, to be in the body rather than the head, to feel and go with our instincts.

“What I do for a living is inspire people to be amazing everyday,” says Aquila CEO, Tim Dingle. Tim finds these current times (of lockdown) very interesting and invites us reframe it and understand that despite one might feel that we’re in crazy times or thinking things are difficult, there is a capacity within us, a resilience, to change the way we look at the world and ourselves to become more positive and become a better version of ourselves. A former Headmaster, with a background in education and leadership, Tim has held senior roles within England Schools Rugby, the RFU and MCC. These days, Tim is a Coach, Trainer & Speaker as well as being CEO of The London Ghost Bus Tours. "I can only do very few things and those things mainly revolve around the capacity to put a lot of thought into stuff and then transmit it verbally. It’s the feedback that you get from people in reality that’s vital”. Tim tells us that our future is unwritten, to not be bound by past mistakes. The key, he says is asking better questions of ourselves. Tim had his own moment of enlightenment whilst on the beach - "All the stuff that had happened to me… the good & the bad… the experiences and knowledge… were irrelevant. I needed to try to put it into a still, heat it up and distill it into one drop of wisdom. Tim reveals the one common denominator that links all of the people that inspire him the most; “The number one with all of them is passion. It’s an attitude… we can learn to be productive and be happy or we can give up. Passion always wins." Tap into Tim’s own passion and amazingness by listening to this podcast!

Rachel Allan dances every morning for women on Instagram. One of Rachel's many super powers is that she is not easily labelled. Part creator, part connector, part coach and now podcaster, Rachel is above all else wonderfully human. In this wide ranging and open podcast, we cover women, spirituality, vulnerability and purpose. Rachel has recently launched the 40 For Tea Podcast where she shares other people’s stories and experiences of what it’s like to be human. “There are 7 billion unique perspectives in the world. What if we can hold multiple perspectives by listening to other peoples. Get curious. Talk to strangers,” encourages Rachel. Rachel’s ability to search deep inside herself and share vulnerabilities make her insights and wisdom really authentic and well worth listening to. There are no angles or sides. She speaks simple truths that allow for a deep sharing of knowledge and experience as she encourages us all to own our own experience of life as well as our emotional response to it. She reveals how the dancing is her meditation. How it came from a low place and became something joyful; “ Dancing is connecting to my own truth. It’s a moment in time that I’m not thinking about the external world.” Many of us catch ourselves in victim mode, saying things like “I have to do this”. “No you don’t”, says Rachel. Choosing our mindset. Choosing to enjoy an experience rather than be a victim of circumstance are central to her message. “ When do we ever get the chance to really question who we are in the world?” , she muses.

I want to work, I want to have a career and have something for myself…but I want to be an amazing mother.” Jill has decided, it’s no longer a balance for her, it’s a work-life blend.”I try hard now to be present wherever I am. It’s not about making money. It’s about being great wherever you are.” We talk about the universal challenge of sharing feedback with others, not just in business, but in all areas of life. “My key to success in business has been sharing with people in a truly honest, compassionate, caring and brave way” Jill laments the fact that in our world of work, we’ve come to believe that feedback has to come with a cello, a curtain, a big audience, a form, a lawyer. “No! The right thing to do is to give very specific feedback It’s more simplistic and less of big deal”. We take in the effects of Covid-19 in America as well as the UK, and I particularly love Jill’s take on having People Director’s on company boards; “Any company that wants to be successful has to have a people strategist on their board. The only companies that shouldn’t are the ones without people”. Tune in for more gems like this! Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Patti Dobrowolski helps you draw your future. As a self-styled creative activator, visual thinker and live illustrator, she coaches businesses and individuals through change. Patti founded the brilliantly named Up Your Creative Genius 11 years ago. Shortly after, her first TED Talk (she’s done 5) went viral and it’s been a busy time since. Much in demand, Patti has spoken all over the world and worked with some of the world’s biggest companies. A ball of energy and charisma, not even Covid-19 can stop Patti and she has adapted her workshops and classes to work online and continues to coach and deliver. “When you draw, it changes your body chemistry. When you think about the future, it sends serotonin into your body…dopamine…the elixir of life so, you feel more confident and excited. The more you can excite yourself about the future, the more you link yourself to that future self.” Through drawing, Patti encourages us to take three bold steps; “the first step should scare you, the second step should be somewhat technical, the third bold step is a mindset shift. Creative genius is not a person. It’s a way of being and it’s accessible to everybody.” Patti also encourages us to take action with our picture and put it somewhere where we can see it everyday so, it imprints on our brain. “People who draw their future create a 42% better chance of success for themselves”, says Patti.

Doug Gordon used to be a stressed out investment banker. That was until a near death experience changed his life and set him on a new path. Strong white lights, a strange biblical inscription appearing on his leg, a powerful energy and a strong message set Doug on a path of enlightenment. It’s been a deeply spiritual path that has taken him via several religions; “religions are like rivers - it doesn’t matter which one you go down as long as you get to the sea. Each river is beautiful in its own way.” He tried the Alpha Course before settling on his own path. These days he is a successful executive coach, speaker and host of his own radio show; Inspirational People/Inspirational Stories on 103.2 Dublin City FM (I was actually a guest on his show in September 2019 and it is great to be able to return the compliment!). Energy and intention are central to Doug’s work and teachings. “Energy” he says "is all around us, within us and it affects us". If you can get yourself into a high vibration state then you will perform so much better because you will attract high vibration people”. Much of Doug's work is with Sales Teams. He stresses that the intention for sales people should be all about creating a positive communication, a positive connection and a long term relationship. Not to make a quick sale. "When I visit CEOs, a lot of them do visualisation and meditation. They are actually quite spiritual, because they need to optimise their energy to optimise their performance. Doug’s mantra is ‘Make It Happen’. He has even built a program around it. Get ready to be blown away by this incredible story that has to be heard to be believed.

Maggie Murphy is the general manager of a football club. Maggie is doing much more than that however and this is not just any football club On one level, Lewes FC is a small community football club in the Isthmian League. The women’s team currently punches above its weight in FA Women’s Championship - the 2nd tier of the Women’s National League. They play their home matches at the amazingly named Dripping Pan, where the directors boxes are actually beach huts. On another level, Lewes are the first ever football club to pay and treat male and female footballers equally. Maggie’s business card actually says ‘Equality FC’ and that’s what they are. With a background in human rights and a passion for football, Maggie (and the club) are driven by strong values and purpose; "Everything we do is driven to create a better society. We believe in the power of football for good and we believe that football can create inclusive, diverse, happy sustainable societies. Therefore it’s easy for us to turn down sponsorship from a gambling company because we don’t believe that has a positive impact on society”. I used to have a lot of questions; Why was I always fighting for little scraps of money? Why did we only get a little tiny mention in the paper when we won the National Cup? Why did our kit not fit? All these questions hit me at the same time as the corruption scandal was coming out of Fifa. It was huge moment for me - 'That’s why I was struggling’, I thought”. Now Maggie (and the club) are dreaming and aiming big. Lewes FC vs Real Madrid in the Women’s Champions League? Don’t rule it out. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

James Routledge started a business at university and had been it for 4 years but he made more impact in one blog post than anything he had ever done before. At the tender age of 21, he wasn’t used to talking about his feelings. “I didn’t really have a relationship with my mental health". The post not only went bananas and had a positive impact on people, it also felt invigorating. James describes it as the best day of life. “I felt accepted.., heard…,seen”. It was the start of a culture that James has created, via his business, Sanctus, that gives permission around mental health. The aim - to put a mental health gym on the high street. “Physical health is a hobby for people so why can’t mental be? We want to position a space, more like a gym. It’s not a therapy room, or counselling. It’s coaching applied to a broader range of mental health. The world needs a mental health brand”. James calls for more regulation of the coaching industry and talks about the challenges the industry faces. Despite the success of Sanctus to date, James says that his mental health can suffer still and talks with an honesty that is raw and refreshing when it comes to his own struggles. Failure, self-deprecation, panic attacks, anxiety - it’s all in here and addressed in a very upfront and real way. James says that Sanctus is all about connection and community. This was the last podcast recorded in person before the lockdown and is a great one to tap elbows with! Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Women are more likely than men to start businesses which benefit society and the environment versus purely economic ventures. However, 60% of women with a business idea don’t pursue it because they don’t believe they have the right skills to be a business owner or the confidence.This is all according to Kim Sprague, who believes hugely in women-led businesses and is passionate about supporting them. Flamingo Life is Kim’s purpose driven coaching business aimed specifically at women who want to make a difference. There is also a podcast - Her Balanced Business - that supports it. After making it to the top in her field in PR/Communications, Kim found it didn’t make her as happy as she thought. “If you ask a lot of people if they would like to do something else, you’ll be surprised at the number of people who say yes”, says Kim. A near fatal labour experience and a detour via a yoga practice made Kim realise she wanted to make an impact but needed to balance this with income. “It comes down to balancing impact and income”. Find out Kim’s goal setting tips and more for women who want to make money they deserve for doing good in the world. Plenty for men to learn here too!

066 Extra Time & Penalties with Paul Armstrong by Mark Pitcher

n 2018, CEO & Author, Andrew Barnes boarded a plane from his home in New Zealand, armed with just a laptop, some papers and a copy of The Economist. He was the most dangerous man on the plane yet, when he arrived at his final destination of London, he was not arrested and walked effortlessly through security. He had fired an email to his HR Director (who promptly deleted it, thinking it was a joke!) and what happened next transformed his working life, transformed his business (Perpetual Guardian), the lives of his employees and is now starting to change the world of work. “You only get one chance to change the world and this is mine” he smiles. Already being talked about and adopted by businesses in 83 countries (the Russian government have added it to their policy manifesto), it will be interesting to see, post Covid-19, how many more businesses adopt his 100-80-100 model, as we move into a brave new world. Inspired and shocked by an article in The Economist that revealed that the average worker in the UK is only productive for 3 hours a day. It’s 2.5 in Canada, Andrew decided to immediately put this to the test his own business, starting with his own board. "Just because someone shows up and sits in an office from 9-5, actually they’re not necessarily delivering you anything in return. Commute, coffee, emails, surfing the internet… and then you get down to work…and then someone taps you on the shoulder”. On average you get disturbed once every 11 minutes and it take you 22 minutes to get back to full productivity. Andrew explains 100-80-100. “We will pay you 100% of your salary of 80% of the time spent at work, on the condition that we still get 100% of the output”. Sound crazy? Think again. Despite the mischievous, attention grabbing title of his new book; “The 4 Day Week”, this is not really about three day weekends or improving culture and balance for people - albeit these are amazing outcomes. This is about improved productivity and a happier workforce. In Andrew’s company’s case, productivity went up 25%, revenues went up and profits went up and staff retention went through the roof. The first objection Andrew often gets is “but that won’t work in my industry because…”. Andrew has an answer for you.

Kapil Gupta’s story is one of re-invention. He is a Transformation Coach and Founder of Nibana. “Nibana means liberation. To live in a prolonged moment of bliss,” says Kapil as he brings our attention to three main areas of life he believes we should be focussing on, practicing and learning; 1) Sensuality/Sexuality, 2) Material, 3) Values/Morals/Integrity. "Both sexes have both masculine and feminine in them. My purpose is to bring more feminine to the world”, he announces. In this deep and spiritual podcast Kapil explores what it means to be a man in a world where women matter. Kapil believes that both men and women have been conditioned when it comes to sexuality and intimacy. “When women own their sexuality and become empowered , many men do not know how to deal with that,” he proffers. Kapil works with men and couples to help them with connection and intimacy. After growing up in India, Kapil sees his life as having been split into two parts; “there was the traditional part - degree, career, marriage, money. And then the re-invention which has brought him to a deeper, more existential life. “No one trains you on how to be in a relationship. I realised I didn’t even know myself or how to show to up with others.” Losing his father in 2002 was a pivotal moment. Suddenly aware of his own mortality, Kapil started to ask himself some of life’s bigger questions. Now he asking others the same. Kapil’s lens on life is a fascinating one for those ready to explore life in a different way. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Sara Challice cares a lot. In fact, she cares for carers. Not professional carers but ordinary, everyday people who have dedicated their lives, or a large proportion of it, to caring for a loved one. Home carers save the NHS £132 Billion every year. That’s the cost of a second NHS. The fact is, says Sara, that 3 in 5 of us will at some point become carers and 75% of that number fall ill as a result. “That statistic needs to change” Sara asserts. Sara is speaking from experience. She cared for her husband Neil for 13 years before he passed away in 2015. Just six weeks into their relationship, Neil fell ill with a brain tumour. In this emotional and heartwarming podcast, Sara reveals the physical and emotional rollercoaster she experienced and the lessons learned from it. Her book; Who Cares will be published later this year and will help many who are suffering. Her business Who Cares 4 Carers also runs masterclasses and courses to help prevent others from losing themselves in the way that Sara did. "If you’re a carer, you are not a dogsbody. You are doing an amazing job. We need to stop the suffering.” Who cares? I invite you to care enough to give this wonderfully human story a listen. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Brendan Hall successfully skippered his team to victory aboard Spirit of Australia, in the 2009 Clipper Round The World Yacht Race. That doesn’t tell the whole story though. It would be easy to title and fill this narrative with sailing analogies. Yet, this is a story of incredible team spirit, of brilliant leadership, of failures, disasters, near death experiences. All of which came before that ultimate triumph. Brendan’s skills as a leader were tested to the hilt. Things went wrong on the very first leg; whilst Brendan obsessively focussed on the metrics, his volatile moods brought morale to a complete low. He vowed to only learn the hard lessons once. By taking blame out of the equation, he and the team were able to learn lessons in a productive way and communicate in a more constructive way. “I had to create from nothing this team culture…way of working…ethos…that was going to keep everyone safe. There was a realisation of how much we all wear masks. When you’re at sea…no one can keep that mask on.” In his book, Team Spirit, Brendan tells how he learned to re-frame the entire race; “this wasn’t a race of 10 yachts but a race of 10 teams.It’s 80% leadership, communication and teamwork skills and 20% hard sailing skills”. Some important lessons for business leaders here as Brendan emphasises the importance of trust. Find out how Brendan skippered not one, not two but three boats during the course of the race!

Former drug addict and reformed alcoholic, Kingston Davis has completed turned his life around through the help of yoga and personal development. Now the proud owner of his own fitness business; KTK Fitness, Kingston is speaking out for the first time about the demons of his past so, that he can help inspire others. Allowed to “get away with stuff” that he shouldn’t and neglected at any early age set Kingston on a path that led to him drinking a bottle of vodka every day.

It helped me to think clearly.” Since his recovery, Kingston has reached back to people from his past to apologise for some of his behaviours and is now passionate and focussed on helping others. He is dedicating his life to one of service. “I’m not doing this for the money.”His message to other addicts is simple; “You can change. No matter how lost you think you are, you can find your way back. Find the reason why you want to change.” he suggests helpfully. Kingston know sees opportunities everywhere. “Drink and drugs cloud you. You miss out on so much”. He encourages us to be mindful of our self-talk, especially at night, before going to bed. “Your brain is the most powerful tool in your body. The more positives you have in your life, the more that voice will be positive.” Oh…and "train hard!" An inspiration to all, find out how Kingston turned his life around from the depths of despair to one so positive.

Aneela Rose is an athlete and a Mental Lifter. Sport has always played a big part in her life. As well as being the founder/owner of her own successful PR Business, Rose Media Group, she is also a World Power Lifting Champion (AWPC 2018) and the 2019 ABPU British Powerlifting Champion and Record Holder. “I wired a little differently to others in my profession”, she smiles. “I embrace re-invention and change”. Inspired by her father and the London 2012 Olympics she picked up her old school javelins and started to throw them again. “The feeling lit me up again”. Acting on her inspiration, she embarked on a journey of strength training that gave birth to a second career as an athlete, specifically as a Power Lifter. “There’s a moment that happens and it affects you…you get palpitations, goosebumps. When you feel that, you have to act on it”, she buzzes. Aneela is one who always gives things a go, even if she doesn’t initially believe she can do it “It’s ok not to get it right first time. Once I’ve tried it my way, I can learn from that.” Wise words from an inspiring lady. Aneela touches on the importance of failure as a pathway to growth.”In the gym, I look for failure because through failure my muscles grow.” A big believer in the power of the mind, Aneela has strict routines for the beginning and end of day, shutting away her phone, calming herself down.”It sounds minor but it’s actually a really big deal for my frame of mind”. As well as diet, Aneela emphasises the importance of who you surround yourself with. "I have power words. I call myself a “mental lifter” because feedback affects my lifting. There’s only certain people I want to have around me now because they are the ones who make you feel a certain way. She talks of her “three cogs”; personal, business and lifting with her husband in the middle to support. Time to give yourself a lift by tuning in to this amazing lady!

Donald Sloan believes in the power of food and drink as cultural entities. As Chair & Founder of The Oxford Cultural Collective (OCC), Donald sees food and drink as being at the heart of who we are as people, how we think about ourselves, how others perceive us. “They are a sense of pride, identification”, he suggests. Donald feels that in the UK we have become distant from food. He talks passionately about the role of food in community, “Any community that is connected to where their food comes from, to the traditions surrounding the food will have a sense of connection with it and that will unavoidably strengthen that community”. He has created his own vibrant community (OCC) in which everyone can flourish, feel a sense of belonging to and connection with. OCC is something that people can input to and draw energy from. Formerly Head of The Oxford School of Hospitality Management at Oxford Brookes University, Donald became interested in organisational structures and consciously creating a positive environment where people can become the best version of themselves. Always using food and drink and hospitality education to positively impact individual lives and communities, there are plans for an academy to include gastronomy and food writing masterclasses. “Food is a particularly powerful emotional connector to where you and others before you came from, and a way to let others understand you”, Donald enthuses. "Food should be enjoyable and pleasurable”. Just like this podcast! Bon Appetit!

Cemal Ezel is a social entrepreneur with a big heart and a great cause. Working with homeless charities, Change Please is a brilliantly simple not for profit enterprise that takes homeless people from the streets and gets them into employment and back into society using coffee as a vehicle.

The enterprise focusses on a ‘job first’ model, to empower its people. As well as lifting people out of homelessness, Change Please allows people to do good everyday simply by choosing where they buy their coffee.

There is a massive focus on quality and taste tests have been hugely successful when pitted along side other more well known brands.

Media, Marketing & PR Guru Nicki Bannerman is the host and co-founder of the Influential Women Podcast. We cover all things female, from high profile guest stories to the #metoo movement. Nicki has a passion for human interest stories & sits on the other side of the mic this time as she shares her own. “We actually have a lot of men listeners” she is quick to point out! Launched three years ago on International Women’s day, the Influential Women podcast is about women who have a story to tell, women who have overcome adversity, women who have come through something huge in their life. Some of the topics are hard hitting; grief, divorce, PTSD, abuse, fame, fortune. “I’ve interviewed a lot of celebrities but it’s not all about celebrities. If we can change one person's day and feel more able to deal with their life then we’ve turned our passion into something.” A background in broadcasting and radio, including training by the BBC set Nicki up well.

Radhika Nanalal has been on one hell of a journey. It’s a healing journey that is still going. A certified Yoga Instructor, "Radhi” is a creative goddess and the owner/founder of I Am Pylgrym - her own conscious clothing label inspired by travel, wellness and her own holistic lifestyle. Importantly, Radhi is a cancer survivor, who is now sharing her own story to help inspire others to wellness. A self-described ‘plant based foodie’, Radhi’s journey started in rural Australia, growing up in a Hare Krishna commune. This she swapped for a strict city Anglican girls school and has learned to process her experiences by revisiting them and can now articulate them. Radhi believes that whatever we have experienced in our past generally will show up in our here and now: We bring elements of our subconscious traumas, relationships, fear through into the present.” Her healing journey has been more than just one element; “I de-toxed on a profound level physically, emotionally and spiritually”. Radhi’s analogy is one of emptying 'rocks from your rucksack, one at a time’. She talks of the importance of pushing through and going beyond fear, and explains how the yoga mat became her mirror. “Yoga gave me clarity”. This is a calming, mindful and uplifting podcast. It is a story of despair, of recovery, of creativity, both on the mat and off the mat. Enjoy. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

A born and bred hotelier, Edward Griffiths is a Commander of The Victorian Order, something he expands on in this wisdom packed podcast. Edward is in the business of delivering service excellence via his own successful consultancy His pedigree is impressive. After some formative years with the Roux Brothers, Edward was notably Deputy Master of The Royal Household for 14 years, working for Her Majesty The Queen. These days he is a Founding Trustee of The Gold Service Scholarship Award and holds a number of non-executive director roles at high profile hospitality companies including Searcy’s and Portico. He describes Buckingham Palace as a beacon of excellence for service within the hospitality sector “You are invited to a home, not a hotel” reveals Edward as he imparts some fascinating facts and stories from his time in service to The Queen. Edward reveals that the secret to great events lies in the preparation, planning and reviewing, even if it's something you’ve done many times before. Such attention to detail means that it will take 2 days to lay the table for a state banquet. “…and only an hour to clear” he smiles. Edward is passionate about young people taking up the profession and the scholarship was set up for this. “It focuses on service rather than cuisine. Chefs have had a lot of focus over the years but there is an acknowledgement that every great experience in hospitality is a marriage of very good food and very good service.” Edward talks about The Queen as a great leader and the importance of happy employees. “A happy workforce you feel immediately” . Edward is a wonderful orator and this podcast is mesmerising. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Daniella Davis-Taylor describes herself as 'a Liberator’. The founder of Lifeforce World, Daniella is also the author of a new book called ’Through The Eyes of a Wounded Soul - 10 Steps To A Stress-Free Life’. Daniella describes powerful ups and downs during her upbringing which led to her taking the role of protector. Always very in tune with other people’s pain, Daniella found an incredible urge to liberate them from it; “I started putting my hand on people’s shoulders from about the age of 14. I could touch somebody’s shoulder and feel what they were feeling”. In order to discover who we really are, Daniella believes we need to go through uncomfortable pain. That this pain is powerful, that it can be an ally and be used to help others in deep ways. This is all despite our natural instinct to try and escape it, push it away and bury it. Daniella talks about the importance of processing emotional experiences properly to avoid resulting physical pain, illness and mental imbalance, if we don't. She sees stress as a sign that something needs your attention and how perception is projection. She says that people are thinking too much and are forgetting how to feel. “The only way to relieve stress is to work on an inward level” reveals Daniella as she encourages us to take more control of our lives and become the ‘driver of the vehicle’. “Pain is a power. If you drive it the right way, you will massively change your life”. Daniella is a true force for life and this podcast might just change the way you see yours.

Troy Townsend has always lived and breathed football. Today he is notable for being Head of Development for Kick It Out, a high profile not for profit organisation with the sole aim to kick racism and discrimination out of football. He is also Sports Columnist for The Voice newspaper and MD of his very own Towno10 Productions. His professional football journey started when he joined Millwall, followed by Crystal Palace. Being released twice at an early age however, had a lasting and damaging impact on Troy’s mental health. After being put on a pedestal by his peers early in life, he spent a number of years not knowing where he was going in life. He started to mix with the wrong crowd; “I didn’t like myself as a person” and a first seminal moment involving a fight and a firearm spurred him to change path. “I realised if I wasn’t going to change then things were not going to pan out the way I wanted.” He went back into football as a coach and found a new calling - to support & help people who, like himself, had a vision & a belief but who struggled in terms of family background. He helped shape a football academy and became a father figure to many young aspiring footballers. Success followed with several non-league teams, including a memorable FA Cup run. Football also brought tragedy however, when Troy lost his 18 year old son Kurtis in a car crash. This interview is the first time Troy has spoken publicly in an interview about this and unbelievably, neither Troy nor the interviewer knew of one another’s tragedy prior to this interview. Witness this raw emotional moment shared live on air. A dark period followed and rebuilding his life afresh, troy found purpose in challenging all aspects of discrimination in and around the game he loves so much. We tackle the big issues head on, including events surrounding the England national team’s recent match in Bulgaria, Rainbow Laces and a father’s natural pride in watching his son Andros Townsend play for Crystal Palace & England. “The Kick It Out generation is born from young voices. It’s time to provide them with a platform…” This podcast is proud to be part of that platform. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Holistic Wellness Coach Lauren Vaknine was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (JRA) as a toddler, Lauren has already fought multiple battles on her journey. Lauren’s mother rejected the recommendation to pump steroids into her then 2 year old daughter. Instead, she took herself to the library, did her one research and embarked on a journey #1 of homeopathy & herbalism. “She took an individual approach.” It worked, but only in part. Lauren and her mother had to become scientists & detectives as her disability came and went throughout her early years. By 18 however she was in a wheelchair full of drugs , unable to sit, talk or eat. “I lost it!”, she admits. A new avenue introduced Lauren to IPEC Therapy, revolutionary technique that improved Lauren not just physically but emotionally too. An amazing advert for the power of the mind, Lauren went from a wheelchair to riding a bike in 3 months. The story does not end there. Thinking she was cured and keen to make up for lost time, Lauren ignored advice to maintain the disability & partied hard. The disability returned. Cue journey #2, with Lauren making big life changes with a new mindset. Now a qualified nutritionist, author and schooled in genetics, Lauren is 7 years in remission and is now helping others. Dragons, fear, mindset and “taking ownership” are all covered in this rollercoaster podcast. Smash The Box is a personal development business.
