Tommy G Talks - Episode 151: Avoid Burnout At All Costs   What is the cost of Leadership? Is it BURNOUT? It doesn't have to be...   Yet so many of us are burning the candle at both ends, trying to "hustle hard" and please everyone elses expectations at the demise of our own self respect. Business life doesnt have to equal burnout. It's not working right if you're in a burnout cycle. Time to change it.   TG

Tommy G Talks - Episode 150: Modern Day Leadership - Why the old way just doesn't cut it anymore   Welcome back to Tommy G Talks.   Leadership isn't about job titles, suits and ties or bossing people around.   It's about bringing out the best in yourself in order to do the same for other people. Overcoming challenges on an internal and shared level through confidence, communication, clarity and empathy. The old way just doesn't cut it anymore. Modern day leadership is the way forwards.   Like this episode? Let me know! @TommyGentleman on Instagram  

Tommy G Talks - Episode 149: TAKE Your Opportunities & NEVER Give Up - Advice To Teenagers (Recorded Live)   This episode is a recording of a live talk I delivered in front of 200x 15-17 year olds. I was asked to go in and deliver this talk to 5 different age groups at a local secondary school, as part of their careers day.   It's always an honour to deliver talks like this, and I hope that you can take at least 1 thing away from this very honest and open presentation around taking opportunities, saying YES, challenging yourself and then being resilient enough to keep the journey alive.   Don't give up on your dreams.   TG

Tommy G Talks - Episode 147: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP3] w Perry Cocking: Football Coach: Don't Ruin The Parent/Child Relationship! (Ways to support your sporty child)   I've known Perry for just over 15 years. We played football together, we've worked on a few projects together and I have seen his Coaching business and journey evolve to the stage of being one of the most influencial, leading voices in the Youth Football coaching space!   In this episode, we dive deeper into some of the challenges, and hidden problems that can arise by "trying to do the right thing" by supporting your sporty children...But creating the opposite. A negative emotional experience and potentially damaging your relationships.   If you've got a sporty child or you're a youth coach yourself, this is the conversation for you.   As always, let me know your thoughts. For more info on Perry's Book "Did you win, did you score?" go to Amazon and give it a search.   Thanks for listening.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 146: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP2] w Kate Griffin - Wessex Spirits & The Gin Palace. Episode 2 of Tea with Tommy G brings you a very open and honest conversation with Kate Griffin, the Founder of Wessex Spirits and The Gin Palace in Andover.  I have been getting to know Kate and her fantastic business well over the last few months. We at Tide 55 have been working with her and her team to help grow online bottle sales and local footfall into the amazing venue that is The Gin Palace.  I wanted to share her story with you. But not just the story she tells everyone that comes in for a drink. I wanted to dig a little deeper into the WHY and the HOW she came to be where she is now.  So in this episode, you will hear how Kate went from being a Teacher, to throwing out her teaching books, having no "job", with 2 young children to look after, and an idea to start making her own gin. Local business is really important and I hope that this helps bring the awareness up for the people and the businesses that are out there flying the flag for Andover, our local community. (as well as the wider economy) You can see more from Wessex Spirits and book a gin tasting session or drop in for a drink at the Gin Palace here: https://www.wessexspirits.co.uk/ Make sure you tag @ WessexSpirits in your answer to Kate's amazing question.  Like the content?

Tommy G Talks - Episode 145: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP1] w Harri Pereira - Mindset X   It's time to step it up a bit.  I've had a podcast for a few years now, but I feel we need to take it up a notch.  I have launched on a project that I have wanted to do for a few years now.  Introducing: Tea with Tommy G - My new and improved way of bringing you guest interviews that consist of real talk, real challenges and real confidence.  We talk about life, death and all the ups and downs along this amazing journey. In this very first episode, I connect with a man that shares a lot of parrallels and similarities to me.  Not just in terms of interests and career path, but also in terms of things that have happened in our lives that we would much rather didn't.  I am all about transforming "challenge into confidence" and with Harri, he has (and continues) to do just that. I wanted to do an episode on "seasonal grief" the pain that we feel when we are reminded, or we miss someone that has passed away.  I knew that Harri would be able to help me get to the levels of conversation that this topic deserves.  I really do hope you enjoy this chat. In honour of you and to those that are no longer with us.  Remember to tag us both when you answer his question to you at the end!  LINKS  Harri's IG : www.instagram.com/mindsetxcoaching  Harri's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harri-pereira  My IG: www.instagram.com/tommygentleman  My LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommy-gentleman  My company Tide 55 Digital Marketing: www.tide55.com  Professional requests to made via my website: www.tommygentleman.com  The Jamie G Sporting Trust Website: www.jamiegsportingtrust.org

Tommy G Talks - Episode 144: Do Kids Need To Feel Failure? (The Importance of Youth Participation in Sport)   “Kids need to learn how to lose…and sport gives them that lesson.” As Chairman of The Jamie G Sporting Trust, I am always championing the importance of participation in sport for young people under the age of 18.  Sport can expose us to and teach us so much at an early age.  I believe that it is essential for children to understand that they don't always win.  It's beneficial to a young person to know that they can and will fail. That things won't always go to plan.  Within the safe frameworks of sport, this allows for resilience to be built and the ability to look inside. To notice how they feel about certain outcomes when they don't go they hoped/intended, and then what steps/actions/practice needs to be done in order to improve.  To learn that we can only ever control and account for our own efforts. Because it's actually not about winning and losing as such…it's more about self improvement, skill progression, expression, teamwork, dealing with pressure and building discipline. To feel good about it. To enjoy the experience, and to develop self belief.  A valuable lesson indeed. We also have the more obvious benefits such as the physical and mental health advantages and the social relationships and skill development too.  Participantion is on the decline. We must recognise the value and increase our effort and energy to ensure these lessons are being learned through schools, clubs and organisations.  By creating safe spaces for self expression, not hinging everything on the W/L outcome, but instead the lessons learned from “the taking part”. As adults, parents, coaches…what can we do to improve? How can we set a better example? How can we help to facilitate more positive exposure to sport at a young age?    What do you think?   Let me know and share your thoughst via Instagram   www.instagram.com/tommygentleman  

Tommy G Talks - Episode 143: How To Stop Overthinking   Let's talk about OVERTHINKING.   We all struggle with this. Some more than others, but when we do, it often leads to negativity and in some cases depression.   Today we will explore the topic a little and then look at ways to understand, control and overcome otherthinking.   These methods are not your usual "think positive" and "talk about your feelings" type tips. Although that stuff comes from a good place, we need to dive a little deeper into the way we think and talk to ourselves.   These are some strategies and tips I have picked up along the way.   I hope it helps.   Connect with me here: www.instagram.com/tommygentleman

Then we will find ways to get out of the rut and stay out!

  Tommy G Talks Episode 136: Everything Changes! - What Happened To Tommy G?   First of all I am still here... Second of all, thank you for being here too.   I have always believed that this podcast should run parallel to my life.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 135: Why is SLOW success always best? Contrary to popular belief, it's OK to make small, slow but steady progress! Because slow success is real success.   It doesn't happen overnight. For anyone. Do not let anyone inform you otherwise. They are likely misleading you for their own gain.   This episode is a reminder of the 3 main areas of life that we are constantly managing and navigating.   If we have fires in 1 or more of the 3 areas, we will struggle to make any progress. That's reality. It's tough and we get challenged.   Which is why we must be realistic and show the courage required to make progress. Steady progress.   What do you think?   Share your opinion with me on social   www.instagram.com/tommygentleman www.twitter.com/tommygentleman  

Tommy G Talks - Episode 134: Are we addicted to our phones? (5 Things Learned From NO PHONES ALLOWED Secret Cinema!)   Last night I went to "Secret Cinema" and as part of the experience, they take your phone away from you, lock it in a bag and then give the locked bag back to you...But you can't open it, touch or use your phone.   At first, I had a mild panic, but eventually, I started to realise some really cool things. 5 of which I share in this episode.   What do you think?   Share your opinion with me on social   www.twitter.com/tommygentleman www.instagram.com/tommygentleman   Tommy G

Tommy G Talks - Episode 133: Interview With Brad Burton - The UK's Number 1 Motivational Business Speaker   Brad Burton. If you know of him, you'll know what I mean when I say he "packs a punch." If you don't know who he is, buckle up and get ready...   I wanted this episode to happen for quite some time. In fact, I promised myself that I would only kickstart my podcast again once I had a guest that was worthy of the "come back" for.   Brad is that guy.   He's been at the top of the motivational speaking scene in the UK for years now. Not everyone likes to admit that though, because he has done it HIS WAY.   He doesn't play to the same tune as a lot of the other guys and girls on the scene. Myself included.   He doesn't rely on "who you know" or circles of "experts" that you'll regularly see on your social media feed. Some of which I have crossed paths with in the past.   Brad is honest and raw and holds no apologies for his unique style.   I hope you enjoy this conversation between 2 guys that probably weren't too keen on each other at first, but have a mutual respect, understanding and likeness to each other and are both Warriors in the same war.   If you enjoy this episode, please let me and Brad know via my social media pages below   Thanks,   Tommy G   www.instagram.com/tommygentleman www.twitter.com/tommygentleman  

Tommy G Talks - Episode 132: Is it the taking part that counts? Really?   It's been a while...But let's get stuck in.   We have all heard the saying "it's the taking part that counts."   But what does that actually mean? and is it really a cop out or a sympathy vote for someone that didn't win?   Let's dive into it a bit today.   Sport has done wonders for me in my life. i have learned so much from "the taking part" when I have won and when I have lost.   Because the thing is, without the taking part, neither are possible and all growth is off.   I hope you enjoy this episode. It references a speech I gave recently at a local secondary school. I was asked to give an "inspirational speech" for their end of year sports awards, and this is the theme I went with.   Let me know your take on it and come say hi on Instagram @Tommygentleman   www.instagram.com/tommygentleman   Check out my charity The Jamie G Sporting Trust www.jamiegsportingtrust.org

Tommy G Talks - Episode 126: Starting a Business During a Global Pandemic! (Lessons Learned) Ladies and Gents... I AM BACK! My podcasting efforts have been pretty poor so far this year, but one of the reasons for my absence is that I recently started a new company and it's been taking a lot of my focus and energy. (not to mention my 4 year old Boy and 2 year old Girl at home!)  I have also been looking within to really understand WHY I podcast.  This has always ran parallel to my life.  I've been a Personal Trainer, a Fitness Presenter, an Event Host, a Life Coach, a Motivational Speaker and now a Digital Marketing Agency CEO.  But you see, that's the thing.  Above all I am an Entrepreneur, that is doing his best to make an impact and enjoy the process.  I've made mistakes (and will continue to make more) but I am not afraid of that notion anymore.  I now know that mistakes hold the valuable lessons that can unlock the future.  So in this new episode, we have a brand new format and a new perspective..but the same objective... To help you transform challenge into confidence, one day at a time.  Let us know what you think of the episode via Instagram @TommyGentleman  Thanks for listening.  Tommy G

Tommy G Talks - Episode 109: How To Approach Life With a Positive Mental Attitude - w/ Grant Goes I REALLY enjoyed this episode.

He has presented on the big stage for Les Mills International, he has trained and inspired thousands of other instructors from all around the world and he has consistently innovated and achieved incredible things in his life, This guy’s positive mental attitude is insane. He is an inspiration to me, he is like a Big Brother. Grant and I lived together for just over a year in New Zealand back in 2008. This is where it all began for me, and Grant was there as a role model and a friend. This was a live broadcast from a BUNKER TALK session, and the first time I have had a live guest with me.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 105: BUNKER TALK 001 - Dealing with anxiety, not seeing loved ones & ways that people are coping   Welcome to "bunker talk!" Bunker talk is my way of being able to help you by adding positive perspective, inspiration and examples of what other people are doing to cope with the current challenges that we are all faced with. Bunker talk sessions are all filmed and recorded LIVE on Facebook and I always focus on YOU. I take the examples, the comments and the questions from my audience to help everyone else feel more positive, more at ease and more connected. Things that are very important in this time of isolation. In this one, we talked about anxiety, dealing with separation from loves ones and I also shared a few ways to cope with this better. This episode was technically the second ever bunker talk session, but I don't have good audio for the 1st, and this one is more on point!   How are you getting on?

Tommy G Talks - Episode 104: Ways To Cope, Grow & Evolve in Challenging Times   I have been a guest on a number of podcasts recently and I wanted to share this particular one with you. This is an episode taken from the Prime Life Project Podcast with Daniel James. Daniel did a great job with this one and as a guest, I was able to go to some pretty unique places with my content. I really want to share this with you as a subscriber of Tommy G Talks.   It was great fun recording this and I know that what we talked about will help you in these strange, challenging times.   Let me know your thoughts www.twitter.com/tommygentleman www.instagram.com/tommygentleman  

Tommy G Talks - Episode 103: Helping Kids Understand The Coronavirus w/Molly Watts AKA "Nurse Dotty Books"   My guest on the show for this episode is Molly Watts. Molly is a Nurse on the front line of the NHS here in the UK through this current COVID-19 Pandemic. She is also a writer and illustration artist.    When my 3 year old Son came home from Nursery on Thursday (for the last time in possibly weeks!) He was talking about "Dave the Dog" being worried about the coronavirus. When I questioned him, he told me of a book that they had been reading the kids in nursery. The book helps Children make sense of the virus and all the restrictions in place. I knew that I had to help and so I reached out to Molly and had her on my Podcast the very next day. I sincerely hope you are safe and that this helps you.   Let me know www.instagram.com/tommygentleman www.twitter.com/tommygentleman   For the book, go to www.nursedottybooks.com  

Tommy G Talks - Episode 102: Coronavirus: A positive perspective from China & UK - w/ Matt Thraxton The Coronavirus is very much here. It is causing concern, confusion and in some cases chaos. So what’s it all about? What’s the deal with quarantine and self isolation? What’s it like at the epicenter? I want to be lean to ward solution based thinking among all the noise, and help to install positivity, clear thinking and confidence in people. Yes, we have a right to be concerned of course, but HOW we think and act is more important THAN EVER right now. So I thought this would be the perfect time to catch up with my life friend, Matt Thraxton. This man is living in Shanghai, China and has been in isolation for 14 days. This is probably one of the most helpful and inspiring things that you will listen to relating to the COVID-19 outbreak. Listening to this will serve you far greater than any media headline or broken agenda. Let me know what you make of it and what things are like for you at the moment. With love, Tommy G www.instagram.com/tommygentleman www.twitter.com/tommygentleman
