In this episode, I share lessons from top business and marketing minds — and how we can apply them in the education space.It's easy to stay in our niche, but doing so can limit our growth. I explore what happens when we step outside and learn from others.We cover pricing, client experience, creative thinking, and standing out in a busy market.TakeawaysLoud voices don't always reflect the majority. Value justifies pricing — not what others are charging. Client experience leaves a lasting impression. Creative thinking and logic go hand in hand. We don't need to be everywhere to stand out. Plan for dips in motivation to stay consistent. Looking outside our niche keeps us fresh and relevant.Sound bites"Are we listening to the loudest voices or the right ones?" "People remember how we made them feel." "Emotions aren't the opposite of logic."Enjoy :-)Sumantha____________________

In this empowering solo episode, Tash and Becky dive into a conversation that might stir up some feelings — especially if you're used to being the shoulder everyone cries on. But what if there's another way to help the people you love? One that doesn't drain your energy or keep others stuck?They explore how to shift from taking on others' pain to instead, holding the vision of their highest potential — a heart-led, spiritually aligned approach rooted in viewing life from an expanded level of consciousness. This isn't about toxic positivity or bypassing emotion. It's about compassionate detachment — staying present, empathetic, and grounded, while refusing to add to the energy of disempowerment.✨ In this episode, we explore:⭐ The energetic cost of “moaning along” with someone — and how to hold higher frequency instead⭐ The difference between empathy and enmeshment⭐ What it really means to “hold the vision” for someone (without spiritual bypassing)⭐ How to support others without shrinking your own light⭐ Navigating relationships when you've awakened, but they haven't (yet)⭐ Living in 4D/5D and trusting that you are the creator of your reality⭐ How this approach actually helps others feel more seen, not lessThis episode is a game-changer if you're on a path of healing, empowerment, and raising your vibration. We get it — it's not always easy to straddle compassion and truth, but this conversation will help you find the balance.

In a medical first, a team at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Penn Medicine has successfully treated an infant diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder by using a customized CRISPR gene editing therapy. The work, led by Penn Medicine's Kiran Musunuru and CHOP's Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas, points to the potential to use bespoke gene editing therapies to treat others with rare genetic diseases for which no available medicines exist. We spoke to P.J. Brooks, deputy director of the Office of Rare Disease Research at the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, about the breakthrough treatment, how the researchers were able to move from diagnosis to treatment with great speed, and what it would take to scale such an approach.

David Forde is with us this week. For a bloke who has quit playing football countless times Forde managed to carve out a great career and cement himself as a Millwall legend. Forde has suffered with performance anxiety for large parts of his career and often found himself skipping training to travel to India to practice meditation to help him battle this and find a new form of focus. After getting a 2 week fine while playing in the Welsh league Forde was ready to quit football and move back to Ireland but in a very quick U-turn he got a move to West Ham and was training with his hero David James. In a career spanning across 20 years Forde has had his fair share of encounters with mavericks including Martin Allen, Di Canio & Stephen Bywater. While at Millwall he saw everything a Millwall legend would have; promotions, relegations, fights, smoking cigars at Wembley after winning in the play-offs and of course the elbow Jermaine Beckford.

Ravel Morrison joins the podcast this week, and might just be the most surprising guest we have ever had on Undr The Cosh. Ravel lifts the lid on the lies, rumours, and misconceptions so many people have about him and why he never lived up to his potential. From a young age, Ravel had eyes on him as he came through the ranks at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson, where he was widely regarded as the best talent in the academy. With a dressing room full of world-class professionals like Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, and Cristiano Ronaldo, it's hard to understand why so much of that talent went unfulfilled. Despite his raw ability, Sam Allardyce managed to get glimpses of his best including that unforgettable goal against Tottenham but after agent disputes, he was forced out the door and once again labelled a “bad egg.” After moving abroad, Ravel hit the lowest point in his career under Simone Inzaghi at Lazio before rediscovering his love for football playing in Mexico. And of course, in true Undr The Cosh fashion, we get the full story behind his obsession with tuna, the infamous incident involving Lee Clark's pond, and why Gary Neville once lost it and smashed his phone. Ravel opens up about the people who lied about him, his beef with Zaha and explains exactly where things went wrong and why a player with his level of talent never fulfilled his full potential.
