Welcome to another inspiring episode of ScaleUp Radio! I'm Granger Forson, and in today's episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Rob Malin, CEO of When in Rome Wine, a company that's shaking up the wine industry in the most eco-friendly way possible. Rob takes us through the remarkable journey of When in Rome, a business born out of a passion for both great Italian wine and environmental sustainability. Starting from humble beginnings at a Bath farmers market, When in Rome has grown into a significant player, now selling its innovative, low-carbon footprint wines across major UK supermarkets and even on British Airways flights. The episode dives deep into the challenges and triumphs of growing a business committed to a clear mission: to decarbonize the wine industry by moving away from single-use glass bottles. Rob shares how they've embraced alternative packaging like cans, bag-in-box, and paper bottles to reduce their carbon footprint. He also opens up about the creative strategies they've employed to change consumer perceptions and build brand awareness on a limited budget. But it's not just about the wine. Rob passionately discusses the importance of company culture and how When in Rome's dedication to sustainability has been the driving force behind attracting the right talent and keeping the team motivated. With a small but mighty team of six, they've managed to scale the business while staying true to their core values. Join us as we explore how When in Rome is making a significant impact in an industry traditionally resistant to change.

Imagine a work of fiction set in Colombia where the line between real and unreal, fact and fiction no longer exists...this is what you get when you read author Lachlan Page's debut novel, Magical Disinformation. Think Waugh, think Greene and then a smattering of de Bernieres and you know what you're in for, a romp of a read which brings a smile to your lips as you enjoy this fast moving tragicomedy. Oliver Jardine is a spy in Colombia, enamoured with local woman Veronica Velasco. As the Colombian government signs a peace agreement with the FARC guerrillas, Her Majesty’s government decides a transfer is in order to focus on more pertinent theatres of operation. In a desperate attempt to remain in Colombia, Jardine begins to fabricate his intelligence reports. But the consequences soon take on a life of their own. In the era of ‘fake news’ in the land of magical realism, fiction can be just as dangerous as the truth. Buy the book! www.lachlanpageauthor.com

This episode features a coaching demo around weight-loss and fitness during lockdown that I did during a recent masterclass, "The Language of Insight & Transformational Change". I start by talking about the six 'languages of transformation' before diving into one of them, the language of connection.   You'll hear me coaching my client, Angela on her topic, weight-loss and staying fit and healthy while working on her online business. And as I work with her, you'll hear me demonstrating the language of connection to 'get her world' and find my way into a deeper connection with her. Angela's one of the people on my current Thriving Coaches Blueprint programme, so she's already had some breakthroughs in her coaching practice. So she decided to be particularly brave and dive into a topic that she's never discussed publicly before.   So here's the episode...   PS So a few days after we recorded this coaching demo, Angela sent me a Facebook message. Here's what she said:   My Experience Of The Coaching was that it felt easy and simple and the realisation re 'do what you love' was bloody obvious doh! But I heard and felt it deeply...as if I was listening underwater. TBC...    Other realisations I've had since are:    1) SELF CARE listen to my body, ie. listen to wisdom about my body... If I need rest, rest. If I want to go out with the dogs do that. Feeling tired isn't telling me about anything other than feeling tired.   2) it's OK to feel under par and still do stuff and be OK with that eg keep commitments then rest afterwards.   3) BREATHING: I've noticed I've started to breathe diaphragmatically, Which creates more room in your lungs and the long out-breath tightens the core!   4)overall I feel an underlying deep sense of love, peace and well being... I'm reminded of this by Louis de Bernieres...   "Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any fool can do.  Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."   I know this is usually quoted about romantic love, but to me, I'm just seeing more and more deeply that to Love Life means to love and care for mySelf as well as others.   **re Louis de Bernieres... The similarity is with being in love with the principles, or the idea of them, now the 'Whoop whoop' has settled down and what I'm left with IS love.   And a more tangible difference... After 2 days of rest at home with my lovely other-half, open fires, and food that I enjoy, I had the energy to go to my paddock where I  trained/played/ran around with the pup. It was easy and fun.   The way it seems to me is it's like a balloon has been popped... And all the air inside has been released into the world. The air is now light and free to move wherever the breeze takes it. And the balloon no longer exists.   As you can imagine, that was a beautiful message to read. And if you want to increase your ability to have this sort of impact with people, it's one of the things we'll be exploring on The Language of Transformation, a six-week course I'm kicking off in December. We'll be diving into all six of the languages of transformation, all in the service of creating greater engagement, connection and impact. And it starts with the 2-day Conversational Transformation Bootcamp on 12 and 13 December, followed by six weeks of learning modules and group-coaching - we'll be focusing in on one of the six languages of transformation each week.

Beachy head is the most notorious spot for suicide in Britain. The famous white cliffs of chalk were formed in the Late Cretaceous era between 66 and 100 million years ago when the entire area was submerged under the sea. On Easter Sunday in 1981, a local photographer set his camera on a tripod close to the cliff-edge at Beachy head. He was hoping to take some stunning photographs of the South coast of England, when a 19-year-old boy approached him, pointed at the camera and said: “I hope you’ve got that loaded”. The boy then walked away, turned on his heel, and ran at the edge, yelling madly as he jumped to his death.’ “This beautiful place openly invites us to die,” wrote novelist Louis de Bernieres in an essay on Beachy Head. “All about are the wisps and traces of broken hearts, cancelled dreams, abandoned expectations.”  ‘High among the chalk crags, where the wind always howls, dwells the most malevolent spirit in Britain,’ writes John Maklin. ‘It is an evil influence that, it is claimed, has hurled more than 100 victims over the edge to their deaths on the cruel wave-lashed rocks below. Many people have positively stated – some under oath – that they have felt the evil influence on the cliffs. They claim that they had to combat violently a power that attempted to force them over the edge to their doom.’ The unexplained lure of Beachy Head with special thanks to Ed Parnell for audio production The post Unexplained Lure of Beachy Head appeared first on Tales of Mystery Unexplained.

Cephalonia, a Captain and a Cop

This week Caroline Wilson is joined by Anna Barry (aka Anna from the Op Shop) and Caro’s husband Brendan Donohoe, state political reporter for Channel 7. We discuss the fall-out from last week’s leadership spill and journalist Chris Uhlmann’s brave accusations of media meddling. Brendan gives us his expert opinion on how a change of PM may influence the upcoming Victorian State Election. Anna gives us the inside scoop on the rather bizarre donation of human skeletal remains that saw her op shop make headlines last week, plus tells us about some of the more unusual offerings she’s seen come into the shop over the years. Caro has the latest news in AFL including recent revelations of ‘nanny business’ between Gillon McLachlan’s family and Peter Dutton. Anna has a ‘Crush of the Week’ for The Interchange Bench – Bob Dylan, who she saw live in Wollongong recently.  Find out more about The Interchange Bench HERE. In “BSF” – Anna’s been reading ‘So Much Life Left Over’ by Louis de Bernieres (available here) and Caro’s been enjoying the latest novel from Joanna Trollope ‘City of Friends’. Caro’s been off to the movies to see an extraordinary film ‘Keep The Change’ and we share a recipe for Annabel Crabb’s ‘Persian Love Cake’ (recipe below). Anna’s grumpy about the AFL finals fixture and the seeminly annual crash of the Ticketek website. In “6 Quick Questions” – Brendan defends his collection of dozens of baseball caps, we chat about the commercial nature of Father’s Day, question whether women are treated differently to men when buying a car and Brendan gives us his verdict on Essendon’s season. Plus Brendan shares a “GLT” perfect for podcast lovers.   Don't Shoot The Messenger is produced, engineered and edited by Jane Nield for Crocmedia. Email the show feedback@dontshootpod.com.au   Persian Love Cake Ingredients 360 grams (3 cups) ground almonds 220 grams (1 cup) raw sugar 220 grams (1 cup) firmly packed brown sugar 120 grams unsalted butter, softened 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon freshly grated nutmeg Finely grated zest of one lemon 2 eggs, lightly beaten 250 grams (1 cup) Greek-style thick natural yoghurt 100g of pistachio nuts, unsalted, coarsely chopped Method: Preheat oven to 180ºC or 160ºC fan-forced. Grease and line a 25 cm (10″) spring form tin. In a large bowl, combine ground almonds, both sugars, butter and salt. Rub with fingers until coarse crumbs form, or pulse in the food processor. Put half the mixture into the prepared tin and press down gently with your hand to evenly cover the base. Add eggs, yoghurt and nutmeg to the remaining almond mixture, and mix well until smooth. Pour over the top of the prepared base, scatter the pistachios around the edge. Bake for approximately 40 - 50 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. It’s done when the top is deep brown and the edges look caramelised. Cool on a wire rack, then carefully remove from the tin. Serve with more yoghurt and a few orange segments if you like. Rose petals are nice too (make sure they’re not sprayed).
