robmoore.live/money Dave Ramsey says that all debt is wrong. In this episode, Rob and Brandon challenge this notion and also question the normalisation of certain debt in society. They also discuss the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ debt and how debt can be used in creative ways. KEY TAKEAWAYS Dave Ramsey’s comments on debt are probably in regards to the most common forms of debt for the average person, such as credit cards. Some debt is necessary, including to acquire property. If we avoided all debt, then business would be almost impossible as most businesses need loans to exist. Bad debt is when you use it to buy things you don’t need. BEST MOMENTS "They’re wanting to access a level of lifestyle they can’t support with their finances” “I don’t like the consumerist mindset, I don’t like buying things that don’t have much of a value to them” “It would be almost impossible to transact in a business without a loan” “When you use debt to go out and acquire things that will get you more money, that’s a good thing” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In this episode, we chat with Gordon Stein, CFO of CleanTech Lithium, whose mission is to be a leading supplier of clean battery-grade lithium for the global energy transition by advancing direct lithium extraction (DLE) technology, supplying green lithium to the EV and battery manufacturing market. Gordon has over 30 years of expertise in energy, natural resources, and other sectors in both executive and non-executive director roles. A chartered accountant who has worked with start-ups to major companies, including board roles of six LSE companies. He discusses the history of the company, the DLE process and technology behind CleanTech and financing options for technology companies and the Lithium market in general. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cleantech Lithium is advancing DLE technology, which allows for the extraction of lithium from brine sources in a more efficient and environmentally friendly manner compared to traditional methods like evaporation ponds. This process can extract lithium in just two days, achieving a recovery rate of 99.7%. The demand for lithium is projected to increase by 20% to 30% annually, driven by the electric vehicle (EV) market and battery storage needs. This growing demand highlights the importance of developing cleaner and more efficient lithium extraction methods. Successful financing for DLE projects requires a strong operational strategy, including demonstrating a viable resource, conducting independent economic studies, and securing government support. Establishing partnerships with car manufacturers and battery producers is also crucial for securing funding. The capital markets have become more receptive to DLE technology as successful projects emerge, such as those in Argentina and Germany. Investors are increasingly recognising the economic viability of DLE projects, even in a low lithium price environment. BEST MOMENTS "They set up Cleantech with a view of finding assets in Chile where they felt it was a good mining jurisdiction." "Direct lithium extraction... you can clearly see in every analyst it's going to be a dearth of supply over the course of time." "We will use 100% renewable power... and we will re-inject the spent brine back into the aquifer area." "Nobody is going to fund your project unless you've identified and delivered a resource." "The markets have been skeptical, but I think now they'll start to look."

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BUYTOLETPOD Kevin talks openly and factually about whether you should be selling or buying in the wake of the further BOE interest rate rise! KEY TAKEAWAYS  The BOE has increased increase rates again, the base rate is now 4%. The majority of people who decide on rises are in agreement that this is close to the highest they should go. The 2007 crash was for completely different reasons to the struggles we are seeing now. As fewer people are buying, particularly amateur investors, that presents opportunities for experienced investors. Property investing should be about the long term, house prices will always increase in the long run. You can easily waste time waiting for the ‘right' or ‘best' property, meaning you'll miss out on a lot of great investing opportunities. Everybody needs to use creative techniques and other people's money to build a property portfolio. BEST MOMENTS   ‘They are talking about it being pretty close to the top of the interest rate rises' ‘If it stops people spending money it also stops people buying property' ‘Less buyers, prices start to go down' ‘We know fundamentally that property prices in 2024, 2025, will be significantly higher than they are today' ‘Whilst many people are waiting for the best property, they miss just doing deals that work' VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

On this episode Kat is joined by Richard McCann, international keynote speaker, to talk about his inspiring story of overcoming adversity and how he is using his experience to positively influence others. KEY TAKEAWAYS It doesn't matter what role the audience I'm speaking to has in life, what car they drive, we're all human beings and we've all been through some challenges and experiences. That's the way I get over any nerves, I know they've been through some stuff and they'll get something from what I have to share. You can only join the dots in the future, not at the time, but all those incidental things are absolutely vital in taking you down a certain path. My sister stabbed her boyfriend and it was that that made me think about starting to write my book which then led to my first speaking engagement which led to me travelling round the world as a motivational speaker. When I was 5 my mum went out drinking and didn't come home, me and my sister were sitting at the bus stop waiting for her at 5:30am, it's heartbreaking to think about. But, she didn't come home because she'd met Peter Sutcliffe, a serial killer who went on to murder 13 women in the UK after my mother. That's when my story changed in ways I didn't know were possible and what equips me to speak about resilience. When I was in the army in West Germany, a magazine was published about mum's killer and I had a nervous breakdown. I was discharged from the army, started taking drugs and ended up in prison. After getting out, me and my sister entered into a suicide pact, but I ended up saving her and that incident was the turning point because I decided that life was worth living and I began rebuilding my life.   BEST MOMENTS “They say you can't please everybody, but I'd like to please as many people as possible.”“I was told my story wasn't ‘conference material', but I've spoken over 3,000 times. We've got to be careful who we listen to.” “Before he was arrested, I thought my mum's killer was going to kill me, especially because he also killed one of our babysitters. I had a very challenging childhood, but it wasn't all bad.” “When I share my story I talk about the importance of two words: ‘I can' which, coincidentally, are in my name. Don't just believe it, do it.” ABOUT THE GUEST On a cold and misty morning in October 1975, Richard McCann woke to discover his mother was missing. He was just five years old. She was the first victim of the notorious serial killer, Peter Sutcliffe. Having lost his mother to one of Britain's most notorious serial killers, Richard was raised in poverty by his often drunk and violent father on a tough council estate in Leeds, England, and was on the at-risk register before he could even walk and talk. What followed was foster parents and time in a care home, and he left school with no qualifications, stumbling from one mistake to the other until he eventually found himself with no prospects after a spell in prison. The same prison as his mother's killer! When he was released, he had few prospects and entered into a suicide pact with one of his sisters. He had reached his rock bottom.By learning to accept full responsibility for his life, embracing his authentic self and adopting an iCan attitude, he went from no-hoper to Sunday Times Bestselling Author and internationally renowned award-winning motivational speaker. His first book, ‘Just a Boy', sold almost half a million copies in the UK alone and has been translated into more than 10 different languages. Other books followed along with a speaking career that has seen him deliver over 3000 keynotes across the globe.Learning to think positively is a skill that every young person will find invaluable throughout their life. Richard's story demonstrates what can be achieved with a Growth Mindset and his presentations and interactive workshops will help your students, staff and parents discover their true potential.Today, Richard has delivered over 3000 presentations around the world, inspiring audiences with his story of overcoming adversity, and sharing his powerful iCan approach. In 2009 he founded the iCanSpeak Academy, training individuals and teams to enhance their presentation skills and communicate their message authentically and with confidence, so they achieve more effective results. Website ABOUT THE HOST Kat started her career as a teacher, before moving into Tech where she worked in different executive roles within teaching and consulting working across the globe, both in the public and private sector. Despite appearing 'successful' on the outside, she paid a heavy ‘life' price. In 2016, her whole world collapsed. The reason? The compound effect of years of unhealthy and toxic habits that destroyed her health, relationship and career. She suffered a severe breakdown and lost everything. In the middle of this she got headhunted for her first CEO role. She rebuilt herself by changing just one small habit, and built a series of positive habits which has transformed her professional and personal performance, resulting in becoming the healthiest and happiest version of herself. She is a positive habits international keynote speaker and teacher, giving talks and delivering high impact programmes to organisations across the globe. LinkedIn Instagram

For this episode, David is joined by Christa Steizmuller the CTO Chief Technology Officer of CharityWater. She explains how they bring clean water to people. They discuss why transparency, trust, and technology are so important, particularly in the context of Charity Water's 100% model. A way of working that means one set of donors covers all operating costs, while 100% of what small donors give is spent directly on water projects. David & Christa discuss how non-profits work, what for-profits can learn from them and how they can collaborate more closely. To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min KEY TAKEAWAYS Over 700 million people are living without clean water. 10 years ago, it was 1 billion. Water infrastructure is expensive; many countries can´t afford to build it, so many use private water companies. The water points are fitted with sensors to spot issues early. CharityWater always looks at existing simple tech first to see if that can be used and improved. Use your data to tell compelling stories. Non-profits work under a lot of constraints; this makes them very innovative. Stick to your mission, and continually pivot to achieve it. Take care of your team, in particular, their mental health and don´t overwork them. BEST MOMENTS ‘They are safe in knowing that 100% of their donation goes directly to projects.' ‘These sensors didn´t exist, we had to build them ourselves.' ‘Every single piece of information that we have is an asset.' ‘How successfully you can continue to pivot is what ultimately drives your success.'

Mark gives a news review, focusing on Rachel Reeves plans for the October budget and what he thinks the rest of Labour's plans will be for the UK. Mark also talks about the voting share from the election, UK rental affordability and the impact the continued drop in interest rates is having on the housing market.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Labour already knew the financial situation but they are now behaving like they didn't, revealing the drastic measures they may take.  Labour will likely look to change inheritance tax and pensions to try and ‘fill' the gap in finances. Only 20% of the population actually voted for labour. This outcome is really about the conservatives performing so badly. The government's control over the sentencing of rioters is concerning, they shouldn't be able to have this much direct impact on the sentencing of individuals. Rental tenants are paying 70% of their income on housing in the UK. This is a direct consequence of the changes made by the previous government, that impacted demand and mortgage rates.  Interest rates are continuing to go down, which will cause more people to buy houses rather than rent, this can already be seen by the slowing growth in the rental market.    BEST MOMENTS   "They're saying capital gains tax should be the same as income tax, which of course is not right” “I think she is probably going to try and get most of the bad news out this autumn” “I think they will repeal the section 21 which will make it harder to evict tenants”   VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.youtube.com/user/progressiveproperty https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk/the-progressive-co-founders/ ABOUT THE HOST Mark has bought, sold or has managed around 1,000 property units for himself, Rob, his family and his investors since 2003.

In David Roberts´ 47th episode of his CALM leadership series, he looks at how to create a win-win in a sale, or a relationship. How to provide your buyers with something that helps them on a human level, while delivering business improvements. He covers how to identify those needs and business improvements. To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min KEY TAKEAWAYS Nobody is really happy when they have given their time or money and gotten back less in return, over the long term. That is why creating a win-win is important. Win-wins create trust and long-term partnerships. Delivering a personal win while improving business results for your customer is the golden ticket. It is the type of sale that is a big win. You need to meet the human needs of each buyer, e.g. a wish to impress and be promoted or less stress. Delivering better business results for the buyer like better productivity or reduced costs is a big motivator for potential buyers. User buyers are looking for reliability and improvements in productivity. Ask open questions and build rapport to work out what each type of buyer is looking for. Never guess what wins each buyer is looking for. When you demonstrate that you look for a win-win potential buyers trust you and buy repeatedly. BEST MOMENTS ‘They might want to stay in power, achieve a promotion...get more time for leisure or less stress.' ‘There will be perhaps a stronger connection to a personal win for the coach than for a business result.' ‘If there is a business result and a personal win, you're into that golden ticket territory.' ‘Are you in a win-win with all of those buying influences?' ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better.

Growing up, many of us have been conditioned to rely solely on dentists for our oral care, but Nadine Artemis, a pioneer in holistic dentistry, challenges this norm. In this enlightening podcast episode, Nadine shares her journey into the world of oral care and the importance of teeth and gum health. She discusses the gaps in traditional dental practices and offers insights into natural and holistic approaches to dental care. From the significance of vitamin D to the potential risks of root canals, Nadine delves into various aspects of oral health, providing practical tips and strategies for successful self-dentistry. With a focus on the eight essential steps for optimal oral care, including salt rinses, tongue scraping, and gum brushing, this episode offers a comprehensive guide to achieving healthy teeth and gums.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The podcast highlights the importance of oral care, emphasizing the impact of teeth and gum health on overall well-being. Nadine Artemis discusses the concept of holistic dentistry, focusing on natural approaches to oral health and the potential drawbacks of conventional dental practices. The risks associated with root canals are discussed, including the potential for bacterial infections and their impact on overall health, such as correlations with cancer. Various preventative measures are suggested, such as vitamin D supplementation, tongue scraping, and mouth taping to promote proper breathing habits. The eight steps of successful self-dentistry are outlined, including salt rinses, tongue scraping, and gum brushing, to maintain optimal oral health. BEST MOMENTS "They said: Dentistry is an art, not a science."  "What happens is you get bacteria trapped in that dead root canal tooth that's now sealed off from the body, in the sense that white blood cells can't get to it and fight infection, but yet it can squirt bacteria into the bloodstream and it basically becomes this necrotic nest, this bacterial breeding ground of disease." "So what this does is an EMS device, which means electrical muscle stimulation. It sits on your tongue and then it's basically working at your tongue, doing muscle contractions with your tongue and then your tongue gets stronger." "So it's really good to do if you haven't done it and it just helps even with fresh breath and everything because that all contains stuff we don't want in our mouth."   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.SimoneGisondi.com  HOST BIO Meet the remarkable Simone, a seasoned coach, published author, and the dynamic host of The Confidential.

Join Michael in this episode as he delves into the experiences of two individuals, who faced racism and isolation in predominantly white environments. The episode highlights how their struggles with racism, lack of support, and the pressure to fit in led to feelings of anger, aggression, and a constant state of vigilance. The episode challenges the societal ignorance towards racism and the need for empathy and recognition of its pervasive nature.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Impact of Racism: The episode highlights the significant impact of racism on individuals, particularly young black individuals, leading to feelings of isolation, aggression, and a constant need to defend oneself. Lack of Support: Both individuals discussed in the episode felt alone in their experiences of racism, lacking support from their adoptive parents and others to discuss their struggles. Mental Health Implications: The experiences of racism and isolation without support can negatively impact mental health, contributing to the higher rates of mental health issues among black individuals. Expectation of Racism: The repeated experiences of racism lead individuals to expect and prepare for it, creating a constant state of anxiety and vigilance that undermines their well-being. Persistent Wounds: Racism leaves lasting wounds that are often not addressed or resolved, leading to ongoing anger and emotional burden that individuals carry with them for years. BEST MOMENTS "They didn't like me because I didn't fit in. And do you know what? I didn't want to. They were picking on me because of my difference." "I was fighting every day in school, and to be fair, I held my mum and stepdad responsible for this because I did not want to move." "But when you fight back, you get a reputation and you don't have to do anything anyway to get hassled by the police." "Racism is insidious. It permeates this society and many others. It survives because the whole society don't really recognise it or their part in continuing it."

If an individual or team are incompetent this cannot be put off. People can progress and change under new leadership, so assess if this is possible in a reasonable timeframe. High performers can be detrimental if they feed into or create a toxic culture. Culture is more important in the medium to long term of a companies success. Personality counts. If there are team members that can't work cohesively and collaboratively then you need to make some changes. BEST MOMENTS "They don't necessarily show potential” “High performers can be assets but they can also be liabilities when they fail to adhere to the company direction” “Culture is really what is going to make the different in the medium-long term” “CEOs are probably taking too long to make a decision” VALUABLE RESOURCES Like the show?

One day Kirstie connects in with the soul of a whale who asks her to locate him in physical form. This sends Kirstie on an adventure, travelling halfway around the world to swim with the whales as part of her spiritual mission. Having never swam in the sea before, this proved to be quite a challenge mentally, emotionally, and physically.

And he showed it like webs of light is all connecting up and then hearing their sounds and their music and their dialects that they did was very, very emotional, very moving.”“The second week I was working on balancing the energies between the feminine and the masculine on the collective.”“It was related back to off world stuff, previous lifetimes and then the trauma of coming here and leaving my planet, my family, and all of that.”“I had surrendered my life a couple of years ago to the divine and I'd surrendered free will and I lived by divine will every day. And when I realized that remembering came back in, I thought, yeah, even if I throw up every single day, I'm getting back on that boat and I am completing my mission.”“You have to remember and dive back into all the emotions and all the darkness and all the tragedy and the heaviness and what you went through.” HOST BIODebbie is a seasoned therapist whose journey from being a primary school teacher to an adept therapist has been fuelled by her fascination with the intricacies of human nature.

Welcome, Keto Vegan enthusiasts! In today's episode, your host Rachel brings you an extraordinary guest whose journey into the realm of plant-based living is both fascinating and inspiring. Rachel had the pleasure of interviewing Paloma, a remarkable individual hailing from the picturesque landscapes of Switzerland. Paloma's unique perspective on veganism was ignited at the tender age of 10 when she realized that animals were not mere commodities but her friends, leading her to make the compassionate choice of adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. Over the years, her commitment deepened, and she embraced the path of veganism. What sets Paloma apart is her extraordinary ability to communicate with animals, allowing her to understand their needs on a profound level. Join Rachel and Paloma as they delve into the intricacies of a keto vegan lifestyle, exploring the intersection of compassion, health, and the remarkable connection between humans and the animal kingdom. Key Takeaways Paloma became vegetarian at 10 years old. Her parents didn't understand her choice and forced her to eat meat at least once a week which she found incredibly distressing. Paloma always had animals in her life and when she was a young adult she heard a horse communicate with her. Best Moments “They thought I needed meat in order to grow properly and healthy.” “That was the animal's feelings that went into the meat and you ate them.” “We don't want to address what is actually happening until it hits us in the face…” “The horse comes up to me, puts its nose in one container, doesn't drink, puts its nose in the other container, doesn't drink, looks at me, and I have the feeling I hear a ‘thank you'.” Valuable Resources For an extensive list of foods with their carb, fat and protein count, go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how For a keto-vegan start-up menu and shopping list go here: https://www.rachelgtherapy.co.uk/1-what-why-and-how   About Paloma Since 2001, Paloma Bärtschi has held the keys to an enchanting world where humans and animals converse on an extraordinary level.

Simon provides an update on the autumn statement 2023, specifically focusing on the government's plans regarding house prices. While there were no major changes to stamp duty or other taxes, the government announced an increase in the LHA housing rates from April 2024, which is beneficial for landlords renting to tenants on benefits. Simon also discusses the current state of the property market, with inflation halving but still above the Bank of England's target. KEY TAKEAWAYS The government plans to increase the state pension, minimum national wage, and benefit system, which will put more money into people's pockets and potentially help the economy. The LHA housing rates will be increased from April 2024, benefiting landlords who rent to individuals on benefits and potentially aligning the rates with private market rents. Interest rates are expected to remain unchanged until at least quarter two of 2024, making it difficult for buyers and property investors to secure mortgages and potentially favoring strategies like HMOs and service accommodation. A new permitted development will allow the conversion of a normal house into two flats without requiring planning permission, presenting a significant opportunity for property investors and developers, particularly in expensive locations. However, local councils may choose to withdraw these permitted development rights through Article 4 directions. BEST MOMENTS "They announced that actually from next year there's going to be a new permitted development where you can take for the very first time a normal house and turn it into two flats without having to get planning permission."  "This is going to be a huge opportunity and most people are not aware of this yet."  "So you might want to start looking around for opportunities."  "I believe this only really works in expensive locations because the cost of conversion is quite expensive."

Ash and Kane are joined by special guest and all-round podcast expert Adam Roche who is also the creator and host of The Secret History of Hollywood Podcast. They talk about the current update with Patreon and the complications and issues it has made for many creators on the platform. Adam talks about his experiences with Patreon over the past 8 years as a creator and offers insight into what works well and what doesn't. He also reveals what he would do differently if he were to start using a membership site today. KEY TAKEAWAYS There was no warning for the current updates to Patreon, they are notoriously bad at communication. The free tier Patreon has introduced is impacting paid subscriber numbers and potentially causing existing members to downgrade. Patreon has been losing money in recent years, this may explain the changes they have been implementing. Instead of trying to transform Patreon into social media, they could instead create their own ‘version' of something like TikTok and have it feed into the Patreon platform, without damaging creators. There are some great features Patreon have added including the collections tab and the shop function but these have usually been in collaboration with creators. Patreon needs to give the control to the creators, they are the ones who know their audience they simply need the platform to create the tools so they can reach them. BEST MOMENTS “They don't update it [Patreon] in forever and all of a sudden they change everything” “They are devaluing the original offer” “Out of all the platforms in the creator space, they [Patreon] have always been creator first” “I don't understand either that a platform that is basically just a website and an app, it's basically just a service” “They don't get paid unless I get paid” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.attaboyclarence.com/the-secret-history-of-hollywood-a-modern-guide-to-the-golden-age-of-hollywood https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-roche-62478897/?originalSubdomain=uk   EPISODES TO CHECK OUT NEXT Podcast Production - The Cost of the Wrong Choice How to Launch a Number 1 Podcast - Part 1 ABOUT THE HOSTS Kane Baron & Ashley Morris run the UK's first and largest Podcast Agency, Progressive Media.

It can be hard to not help people we see are suffering but, giving cash to people is not the way to improve things. Instead, listen to Rob about why education and support are the ways to help those struggling as well as talk about the scams you may fall victim to and what we can change to improve our society. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are many beggars on the street who aren't actually homeless. The solution is to not give them cash. We can support those who are actually homeless with other versions of support such as food banks, soup kitchens and education. Most people on benefits or welfare want to work and want a job to support themselves, they just need the right help. There are some simple things the government can do to turn around many of society's current issues with homelessness and the workforce including reallocation of capital, changing the tax system and making the benefit system about incentivising people to work.  BEST MOMENTS"They make £150 a day” “There are two types of homeless, the homeless and the shameless” “You assume people sitting on the street are homeless but they're not, they're professional beggars” “Imagine if the government took our money and used to to train people on the streets, help them back to work instead of just giving them money” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Listen in to this episode to hear from, Darren O'Reilly, a SA Delegate who thought he could do it alone but then realised and recognised the many benefits of the network and support from Progressive. Learn why he chose rent to rent for his core strategy, how he is making 9k cash flow a month and the lessons he has learnt along the way. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Darren learnt his initial knowledge around property from his parents, who believed in never selling anything you owned and saving. After attending a SA course, Darren almost signed up but was put off by a nervous person on the course talking negatively. Darren later realised how much money there could be made and how investing in the right ways could and would accelerate this and went back to be coached by Progressive. Ongoing support and mentoring can make a big difference when implementing a new property strategy, it provides tailored and 121 support that a course cannot do. SA is a hospitality business as well as a property strategy, it comes with its own unique set of problems and challenges. If you are willing to work hard, there is significant money to be made in SA, it's a formula that works.

 It may come as a surprise to learn that many CEOs suffer from imposter syndrome. In this episode, Andrea talks about this topic and the 4 main factors that contribute to the feelings of imposter syndrome and reveals a game-changing solution if you are feeling this way. KEY TAKEAWAYS CEOs have a large amount of responsibility but often no one to confide in or seek support from. Excessive standards for yourself, particularly around being professional can be detrimental to self-esteem and provoke feelings of inadequacy. CEOs and leaders can overly rely on external validation as they are held accountable for so much and spend a lot of time receiving feedback. Comparison and self-doubt can build up to create imposter syndrome. BEST MOMENTS"They might feel as if they don't deserve their success” “The future self is the result of your thoughts” “You are better than the circumstances, you are better than what you see right now” VALUABLE RESOURCES Like the show?

In this episode, Kenneth once again sits down to speak with his very popular guest Stefan Tribble. This time it is the pros and cons of frozen coffee concentrate that they are here to discuss - including sharing the results of the experiments that they have recently carried out using Comeeter´s frozen coffee concentrate, which at the time of recording was the only large company offering this product across the US. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Comeeter buys coffee from carefully chosen roasters, brew it, concentrate it, then flash freeze it. Because the coffee is a capsule when it is flash frozen, the taste is not impacted by any kind of chemical reaction. It is shipped in dry ice. The capsules are aluminum, so they are fully recyclable. The capsules will fit into a K-cup brewer. Use six ounces of water to create the best flavor balance. BEST MOMENTS‘They use liquid nitrogen to basically flash freeze those capsules that the coffee is in. ´‘That then gave a TDS that was around 1.8 to 1.93, which I thought made a really good-tasting cup of coffee.'‘It ends up being about $2 a cup.'

In this episode, I'd take the opportunity to share my love for older buildings and how they can be recreated to provide very inspiring workspaces. I talk about the controversy surrounding the Marks and Spencer building on Oxford Street in London, which was slated for demolition to make way for a new glass tower. There are arguments for and against preserving older buildings, but the super important issue from an investment point of view is the finite supply of historical spaces and the growing demand for quirky, grounded, and emotionally resonant environments. KEY TAKEAWAYS Older buildings have a unique charm and sense of history that cannot be replicated in new constructions. They  a sense of wonder and curiosity about their past uses and alterations. Older buildings offer a finite supply of space, unlike new constructions that can be replicated. This scarcity can make them highly desirable, especially in areas where there is a growing trend for historical and quirky spaces. Enhancing and bringing value to older buildings is crucial for their sustainability. They need to generate income to cover maintenance and reinvestment costs over the years. While not every older building is worth preserving, once a building is demolished, it is gone forever. It is important to carefully consider the environmental impact and potential for reinvention before deciding to demolish and rebuild. BEST MOMENTS "They don't build them like that anymore." "The resource is finite." "You can't build an old building, but you can always build another glass tower." "You can't build properties with history and life. It only comes from reinventing and enhancing the past." "A big glass tower may take time to procure, but you can always build another. You just can't build another 200 year old warehouse."

Today we're diving into a less than odd comparison: What is the difference between WeWork and Premier League football clubs? Actually on some levels, not a lot. Think WeWork's all about tech? Think again. I'll unravel its serviced office reality, and talk about some of the financial challenges it faces – from wild valuations to debt struggles. But it's not all doom and gloom. We'll explore how WeWork's moves affect everyone from clients to staff to landlords, shining a light on the human side of business. Despite the uncertainties, let's give credit where it's due. WeWork has shaken up the flexible workspace scene big time. So, while their story's a rollercoaster, remember, it's our own focus on growth and success that matters most. KEY TAKEAWAYS WeWork, despite positioning itself as a tech company and co-working space, is actually a serviced office company with private offices and shared spaces. WeWork had a high valuation point of $47 billion, despite not owning much property. WeWork's financial position is currently unstable, with a debt equity ratio of -82% assets to liabilities. Whilst WeWork does own some real estate it has built massive growth in locations through rent-to-rent and management agreements, which have allowed for that fast growth but at a price. The flex space industry can learn from WeWork's successes and failures, and there are plenty of opportunities for other operators to stand out and succeed in the market. BEST MOMENTS "They position themselves as a tech company and they're generally seen as a co-working company, but actually they are a serviced office company." "Is profit secondary to winning at all costs? Yep." "And does the financial model seem completely implausible from the outside? Certainly looking in, it has seemed that way." "The fundamental thing is eventually the music will stop." "The flex space industry is on a fantastic growth trajectory with plenty of ways to stand out from the crowd."

Shaz talks about Grade 2 listed buildings. Host Shaz Nawaz, an award-winning chartered accountant and property investor, shares his love for these historic buildings and dispels the notion that they are overly complicated to work with. He emphasises the beauty and architectural significance of Grade 2 listed buildings and highlights the potential investment opportunities they offer.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Grade 2 listed buildings offer a unique investment opportunity due to their historical and architectural significance. They can be attractive to buyers and renters alike. Working on grade 2 listed buildings requires a different approach and careful consideration of the building's infrastructure and features. It is important to work closely with the local authority and obtain listed building consent before starting any work. The maintenance of grade 2 listed buildings should be factored into the costs. Using the right materials and ensuring compliance with regulations is crucial. Ignorance is not an excuse, and failure to comply can result in costly consequences. Grade 2 listed buildings may not be able to meet the government's energy efficiency requirements, such as achieving an EPC rating of grade C by 2028. Exemptions may be possible, but it may require compensating in other areas to meet the overall energy efficiency standards. It is advisable to work with experienced professionals, such as specialist builders or mentors, when working on grade 2 listed buildings. Their expertise can help navigate the unique challenges and ensure a successful project. BEST MOMENTS "They don't make them like they used to, Shaz." "You've got to make sure you get listed building consent before you start work and make sure you know what you can, what you can't change." "Sometimes the big stuff is you think here there's no real reason, you know, but most of the not, to be fair to councils, most of them are the eye-finding exposure with both for my clients and myself." "But if you're going through a grade two listed building, some things you can't change. Key features like the windows a lot of the time, you can't change doors, you can't change." "Enjoy the competitive advantage you get of being one of the few people that will go through great listed greater listed buildings and look to work with them, work on them."

When emotionally out of control with frustration or anger, we have very little control over the words that come out of our mouths and consequently very little is communicated of any value. In the stressful environment of the family courtroom, it can be all too easy to succumb to this situation. Michael details how you should stay in control and control what you say. KEY TAKEAWAYS When giving evidence be clear that the point of your communication is not to let off steam or discuss trivial, unrelated matters. You must have a clear goal in mind when giving evidence and give tailored and specific information illustrated with examples when necessary. In the witness box everything you say should be carefully weighed and considered before you decide to express it.   BEST MOMENTS ‘They are talking incessantly but their words have no real value or meaning. No real thought has been given to what they are saying. They are angry, frustrated and impulsive and they don't care if the world knows it.' ‘The quality of the words you use, the tone you use when expressing yourself, the use you make of speaking concisely and of silence, as well as the overall attitude you adopt throughout answering questions all colour the way you come across to those listening to you.' ‘Think of the end result first. How do you want to feel after you have completed giving your evidence?'   CONTACT METHOD familycourtcoaching@gmail.com Instagram: michael240656 Linkedin ABOUT THE HOST Michael Watson is a qualified social worker and author with over thirty years of experience working with children and families.

John speaks to Kira Markoff (LCSW-C,CCTP,YTT200) owner and operator of Connections Mind-Body Wellness, author, yoga, social work, mental health therapy and well-being expert. Kira is passionate about learning and then transforming what she has learned into something that she can share with others through Connections and her book ‘Mindfulness and Me: A Practical Guide for Living'. She hopes to bring peace, hope and positive change to as many as possible with practical applications of meditation, yoga practices and mindfulness as a method of empowerment.  John and Kira discuss the main skill set required for successful relationships, the true power of mindfulness, the considerable components of mindfulness within relationships, the important factors to be actioned first and providing children with good guidance on relationships early.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Two of the skill sets that are most predictive of success in a romantic relationship are partner responsiveness and emotion regulation.  Knowing your partner's responses, sensitivities and when is a good time to communicate can improve smooth communication.  The five components of mindfulness are observation, description, awareness, being non-reactive and non-judgmental. Feeling safe is the most important and actionable need to be considered. BEST MOMENTS ‘They talk a lot about the word attunement which is just being able to hold space, listen to your partner and hear the needs and the emotions underneath of what they're saying.'-Kira  ‘We have reactions, everybody has reactions, we can't stop it. Honestly, the more you try the bigger they get because you've been holding them back.'-Kira ‘That's what we are hoping for, that wanting to engage in a space where you are able to offer something of yourself to make your partner feel better rather than worrying about how you're feeling.'-John ‘It's almost never just about the shoes on the floor. Most people are able to say objectively that that is not a big deal.'-Kira ‘From an early age I didn't have the words to describe it the way I'm describing it to you now but I knew the kind of people that I wanted to be around.'-Kira  VALUABLE RESOURCES Links: www.johnkennycoaching.comThe Bicycle Affect: https://youtu.be/oO7XZGvdWnoRelationship Video course and 1-2-1 coaching: Relationship Ready Online Programme - John Kenny (johnkennycoaching.com)To get in touch - email – john@johnkennycoaching.com or book a complimentary call –https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minIf people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offerWant to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30minThe Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy  ABOUT THE HOSTI am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.

Education around money isn't taught in school and in this episode, Rob tells us exactly why this is! KEY TAKEAWAYS The system wants us to be products of the system, to be consumers and be forced to rely on the system. If you pay interest on loans and mortgages then you are paying into the system and are reliant on the system. If it took money to make money then no one would have any!

How can you escape the systems that are in control of your money? In this episode, Rob outlines the many ways the systems make a profit from you and the four ways that you can gain independence from them!   KEY TAKEAWAYS The systems want you in debt, so you are more reliant on them and the more profit you make for them in the form of interest. Have location independence or freedom: make it so if things happen that don't work for you, financially or otherwise, that you can move with ease. Have financial independence or freedom: Money gives you freedom and choice. Have a free or independent mind/thought process: Question everything, challenge authority and build your own systems. Control the media you consume: Be conscious of the bias and propaganda in media and build and control your own media where possible. BEST MOMENTS “They use governments, central banks, political systems and world leaders to gain the most benefit to them” “People who say money doesn't make you happy, probably doesn't have money…money gives you freedom and choice” “Escape the matrix, beat the system” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Are you planning on selling your product business in the future? Do you want to have a better understanding of how it could be valued, what you should have in place, and what you need to know? If so you're in luck because today Nicole is joined by Mark Fitzgerald Cooke, MD of Intelligent Business Partners, a UK based company who act as a broker for businesses that want to buy and sell companies from startups to multi million pound brands.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The top things Mark looks at when valuing a business are turnover, gross and net profit, and the ownership structure. The reason that last point is so important is because the more valuable an owner is to the business, the less valuable that business is.  As a business owner looking to sell, you should make sure your business can run without you by having the right key staff in place. If you are the one doing a large part of the work, then whoever buys your business will have to replace you, making it a riskier investment.  The value of the brand has to stand on its own and not be attached to you as an individual when you're looking to sell your business. In cases where this does happen, there may be a period of time that the owner stays with the business after the sale.  Before selling your business you need to make sure the following are addressed. Firstly your mindset, take a step back because it will be a huge change in your life. Secondly, make sure you know your finances, get them in order before looking to sell. Thirdly, look at your contracts, make sure your staff, HR, compliance, GDPR, client contracts, etc are all secure and up to date.  Broadly speaking you're looking at a timescale of six to eighteen months for your business to sell. This can obviously vary depending on industry, size of business, etc.  BEST MOMENTS ‘They will want to know the finances before they even meet the owner' ‘97% of people will never buy or sell a business and most will only do it once' ‘Remember that you can only sell what you can evidence' ‘One individual doesn't scale'  ‘The number one killer of deals is time' EPISODE RESOURCES Company website  https://www.intelligent.co.uk/ Email Mark mark.fc@intelligent.co.uk Linked in https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-fitzgerald-cooke-a693662/ ABOUT THE HOSTBuying & retail expert Nicole Higgins spent the last 18 years sourcing & developing products from all over the world, building strategies for blue chip businesses, and increasing bottom line sales and profit, adding over £40 million in incremental business to the bottom line.

FREE DOWNLOAD How YOU Can Make A FORTUNE From Buy-To-Let https://bit.ly/BTLReport-POD Kevin talks openly and factually about whether you should be selling or buying in the wake of the further BOE interest rate rise! KEY TAKEAWAYS  The BOE has increased increase rates again, the base rate is now 4%. The majority of people who decide on rises are in agreement that this is close to the highest they should go. The 2007 crash was for completely different reasons to the struggles we are seeing now. As fewer people are buying, particularly amateur investors, that presents opportunities for experienced investors. Property investing should be about the long term, house prices will always increase in the long run. You can easily waste time waiting for the ‘right' or ‘best' property, meaning you'll miss out on a lot of great investing opportunities. Everybody needs to use creative techniques and other people's money to build a property portfolio. BEST MOMENTS   ‘They are talking about it being pretty close to the top of the interest rate rises' ‘If it stops people spending money it also stops people buying property' ‘Less buyers, prices start to go down' ‘We know fundamentally that property prices in 2024, 2025, will be significantly higher than they are today' ‘Whilst many people are waiting for the best property, they miss just doing deals that work' VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk   ABOUT THE HOST Kevin McDonnell is a Speaker, Author, Mentor & Professional Property Investor.

In our current era we fully accept that the Narcissistic personality is amongst us affecting us in all walks of life, but especially in our relationships. In this episode John advises on how you can spot a Narcissist before they attach themselves to your life and begin to apply their self serving, toxic methods.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Narcissists aim to make a great first impression and come across as arrogant or pretentious.   Bragging about achievements, a tendency to finger-point at others for their failures can be signs of a narcissist.  ‘You're just too sensitive' and ‘I know you're upset but don't blame me', are the kinds of things a narcissist will say.  Asking questions and then ignoring your reply and speaking only about themselves is another danger sign.  Narcissists may use illnesses to create practical explanations for shortfalls in their personalities, perhaps to explain away irritability or lack of interest.  BEST MOMENTS ‘They will hide under a charismatic veneer with the aim to manipulate you into believing that you can trust them, that they have your best interests at heart and are highly moral individuals.' 'The narcissist has a tendency to communicate differently to others as their words are tools and weapons and are disingenuous.'  ‘Keep an eye out for them trying to isolate you within your relationship, turning you against your family and friends as though they are the only ones that truly care about you.'  VALUABLE RESOURCES links: www.johnkennycoaching.com The Bicycle Affect:  https://youtu.be/oO7XZGvdWno Video Course with 1-2-1 coaching - https://the-relationship-guy.teachable.com/purchase?product_id=3607138 Video Course –  https://the-relationship-guy.teachable.com/purchase?product_id=3607134 Link to my workshop -   https://www.johnkennycoaching.com/5- things-you-need-to-create-a-healthy-loving-relationship/ To get in touch - email –  john@johnkennycoaching.com  or book a complimentary call –  https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min If people want to order a copy of the book then they can just pay postage of £4.95 (RRP £8.99) - www.johnkennycoaching.com/podcast-book-offer Want to be able to address the relationship issues in your life? - Why not book in for a complimentary call and we can discuss how you can get the new started with some new types of relationships - https://calendly.com/johnkennycoaching/30min The Relationship Guy Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/the-relationship-guy         ABOUT THE HOST I am John Kenny, Award Winning Relationship Coach.Coaching people to experience healthy loving relationships.

Congratulations! Whether you realise it or not, you are doing the most important job in the world. As a coach, you are providing the finest investment in young people's education and well-being that is available to an economy. Your job educating and creating skills and attitudes in developing young people will benefit the person themselves, their team, their community, their society and their country. Rob is here to point out the far-reaching ripples of your influence. KEY TAKEAWAYS You only have to listen to people that have been involved in sports to hear the amazing influence that their mentors had on them in their early years.  It is not all about the sport. It is also about how you guide people mentally, spiritually, psychologically and socially. The team dressing room does not need an HR style, whitewashing perfection-based approach. Know your mind, do not think you know everything. Choose your battles. If you wholeheartedly believe in it, give it everything you've got. BEST MOMENTS ‘They talk about somebody in their life who is very often a sporting coach who absolutely made such a drastic difference in their life in such a positive way.'   ‘The other 50% comes from understanding people. It's about people.'  ‘Team dressing rooms do not operate under the rules of some stuffy, hierarchical, rule driven, probably the latest media driven philosophies. HR does not rule a football dressing room.' ‘Nothing is too big, too great, too established, ever not to fail. There are too many examples in history and in life that go against that.' ‘What is real, true self improvement? That, my friends, is being a better man or a better woman.'

Sometimes things are just out of your hands, one of those things we can't control is time. Today we're going to be talking about the issue of timing and how it affects the likelihood of success and the impact it has on the ability for you to be successful. Nana is joined on Build Value By Choice by guest Mark Pierce, co-founder of Cloud Peak Law Group to discuss this topic and more.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark believes timing is one of the critical and most essential points of a business. If you don't have the right timing then you won't have much of a chance of success. For example Tesla, they did not have a unique idea but they came around at the exact right time for that idea to work.  The best way to get your timing right is to know the industry. The more experience you have in a marketplace the better you can understand how that market will change in the future and you can plan for that change.  The size of windows vary by industries, some may be months and some may be multiple years.  You can watch new industries grow before they boom so you can get in at the right time, but you need to already have those contacts in place beforehand. You need to have done your research on the technologies involved and been to the conferences.  Get involved and you will see opportunities as they come up. If you're not involved then you'll miss out on them. Get involved in your community, local politics, whatever it is that is going on around you.  BEST MOMENTS ‘They teach you the person who gets there first with the most will win'  ‘The harder you try, the further you can fall behind' ‘You'll see the time coming if you've been paying attention' ‘It's like playing cards, you should go slowly and get a feel for the table' EPISODE RESOURCES  WyomingLLCAttorney.com Outliers: The Story of Success VALUABLE RESOURCES Productize ebook Leave your comments on the show's facebook community page: https://www.facebook.com/Buildvaluebychoice Get your free valuation here: https://bit.ly/get-free-valuation Podcast website: https://infhorizons.com/podcast/ Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and share it.

Host Helen Lee continues with the third and final part of her conversation with Maxim Dondyuk, Ukrainian photographer and visual artist, and his wife and Artistic Manager Irena Dondyuk about how the Ukrainians are responding emotionally to the war, the strengthening of Ukrainian culture and language in the face of Russian aggression, how Maxim and Irena cope personally with the experience, how the frontline war must be faced with humanity first, the importance of national and intellectual freedom, and Maxim and Irena's unwavering hope for the future of Ukraine.  As mass consciousness is raised globally, and we allow the highest aspects of who we are to lead us and our lives, we will operate from a much higher level of intelligence - spiritual intelligence or SQ which has to be and will be the foundation for IQ and EQ, and we would have eradicated all possibility of war, pandemics, poverty, hunger and all manner of injustice and inequality. Our task is to conscientiously and consciously move towards transforming and thriving en masse now, release all old programs, old ways of thinking, emoting and behaviour that are lower vibrational, that smacks of lack and limitation, fear and scarcity, aggression and domination, greed and need to control AND shift towards endless possibilities and abundance for all, love and peace, caring and collaboration, sharing and giving, justice and equality.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   Maxim and Irena keep themselves positive about their future and as is the case with most Ukrainians, they relentlessly push to end the war, driven to protect their country and people, their identity and freedom at the same time.  The Ukrainians feel much anger during this time which motivates them in their fight against Russia, but more importantly their love and pride for their country drives them forward.  Before the invasion, many in Ukraine used the Russian language but now using Russian is shameful. Russia's refusal to acknowledge Ukraine as a country and accept its own unique culture has resulted in widespread rejection of everything Russian.   Because of his time in the frontline, Maxim can feel hopelessness creeping up, especially when parted from Irena for months at a time. He can feel anger at both sides, especially those intent on continuing the war but never witness the destruction wrought on the frontlines of battle.  If you don't respond emotionally when working on the frontline, in Maxim's case as a photographer, then it is psychologically worse as suppression can be damaging. Firstly, Maxim helps all that need help, both humans and animals, and then, secondarily, takes pictures that can be used to document Ukraine's plight.  Maxim recently won the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for his work Ukraine: 2014 to 2022. This funding is important in many countries as it is currently, mainly in richer countries that steady sponsorship and support can be secured, so grants are essential in those underfunded areas of the world.  It is not only important for nations to achieve their own freedom, but vital that we all have freedom within our own minds. Freedom of thought and freedom of ideas. In many countries, the population do not have this freedom and Russia is one example.  Competition between countries leading to eventual aggression comes from internal weakness. Diplomacy is strength, understanding is strength, communication is strength. Russia respects only power and that is their weakness. A quote from Helen that she has been advocating for decades is: "True power is NOT power over others but power over our own fear and ego-based minds". By raising our consciousness and connecting with our deeper spiritual selves, we can all make the need for war obsolete. When we align with soul and spirit, we think differently and lower vibrations like fear, hate and greed which motivate war are replaced with much higher vibrational energies.    BEST MOMENTS ‘They speak openly and honestly about the emotions of the Ukrainians and their own as well. They are also very clear about lots of things including what's necessary to keep themselves sane and balanced while they are dealing with the stresses and constraints of war.' – Helen ‘They gave me great hope for the quality of human beings we would like to see in our world. Kind, genuinely loving and caring people. Gentle, honest and open beings that emanate a higher intelligence and consideration for humanity and animals.' – Helen ‘It's not possible for Russia to invade our country because even women and children take pictures of Russian tanks and give their position to the Ukrainian army.' – Maxim  ‘Sometimes I feel so much anger in me. Sometimes I feel hopeless, sometimes I feel sorry for the Russian people because they are so miserable with everything they do. It's a great mix of feelings in myself but with each new missile from Russia, with each new death that comes from Russia, I feel more anger and pity for them.' – Irena  ‘A soldier knows what they do. They are ready to die. But when it's a civilian, it's hard. First of all I'm a man not a photographer and if I can help people, if somebody is dead or injured or they need food, or they're homeless, dogs and cats everywhere I share all my food and everything I have because I can do it. First, I will be human and second I will be a photographer.' – Maxim ‘And, as you (Helen) say, it's really important that freedom is not only for nations, but it's really important to have freedom inside of our own minds. Sometimes, we do stupid things because we have no freedom, because somebody controls our mind - in some countries.' – Maxim ‘I hold an unwavering intention and pray that Ukraine and all nations will have their freedom and sovereignty very soon. That there will be abundance and freedom, justice and equality for all living things, all humans as well as all fauna and flora, and all that live and breathe, including our planet, can flourish greatly. I know that this can be so, as the level of human consciousness is raised.' – Helen     ABOUT THE GUEST Maxim's professional career began in Ukrainian media as a photojournalist in 2007. He has been freelance since 2010, working on creating and promoting his own documentary projects, following the sociopolitical events in his country of Ukraine for years and expressing through the visual arts for well over a decade. He became world famous with his interviews on CNN and his publications in Time Magazine and is currently photo-documenting the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine and recording atrocities that are difficult to imagine or behold. His accomplishments include being a recent winner of theW. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography, a finalist in the Prix Pictet Photography Prize and Fotoevidence Book Award, and winner of the Prix Photo La Quatrieme Image, Ville de Perpignan Remi Ochlik Award at Visa pour l'Image, a Magnum Photos Competition ‘30 under 30' for emerging documentary photographers, and received Grand Prix ‘Best Global Health Story' of Becton Dickinson (BD)'s 'Hope for a Healthy World Photo Competition.'   ABOUT THE HOST HELEN LEE Founder & Principal Coach of Lee Heiss Coaching, Helen Lee coached thousands of clients worldwide and multinationals in Asia-Pacific in the last three decades.

In this episode, Host Helen Lee continues to expound on her ideas of how we can individually and collectively move forward towards truly thriving together. It is crystal clear to her that we need to access and fully embody the treasures that lie within us. A primary asset is what she refers to as "Invincible Love" which is not a sentimental human love but the Creative Power or Higher Intelligence that exists in all living things. When enough of us can understand and fully align with this incredible Universal Energy that we all already have and have it lead us and our lives, humanity would become a formidable force capable of massively changing our world. And long before we can completely accomplish this, our lives would have become a whole lot greater and happier en route. KEY TAKEAWAYS When we raise our Spiritual Intelligence (SQ) and it becomes the foundation for our IQ and EQ, the Invincible Love and Creative Power that Helen speaks of, will expand. It means that our gifts and talents would grow and flourish, and we would naturally flourish and operate from much higher perspectives. It makes sense, therefore, for these ideas to be brought into our homes and personal lives as well as our offices and workplaces all over the world. It would mean that we can arrive at having a critical mass of humanity functioning and deliberately creating from a much higher level of consciousness rather than the level with which we have co-created the current crises we are facing. To Helen, spirituality is simply the understanding and optimising of who we all actually are, at a much higher level than is possible from the human mind alone. And her tried-and-tested methodology offers the world a systematic way to powerfully access, align and embody an increasingly higher SQ and move towards creating all that we want for ourselves and our world. She poses a series of evocative and pertinent questions to get us to look at key areas of our world and lives that we need to focus on transforming together. There is an increasing number of people who are wiling to stand up and be counted in this crucial time in the history of humanity. And we are all meant to step up and serve. But first, Helen and her team will support you - both individuals and organisations - to flourish greatly. This is the first time in the entire history of life on Earth that the future of the planet is in our hands and what we do or not do now "will determine whether we leave a depleted planet for future generations or whether we can survive sustainably." Every challenge, every hurt or wound helped us to grow. But we can now grow in a totally different way, from an inner state of far greater power, creativity and joy - and certainly, a far higher level of consciousness and intelligence. Helen and her coaches facilitate first hand experiences to achieve this for yourself and your family or team and organisation, going way beyond the human addiction to pain and struggle, and our repetitive patterns of behaviour and circumstances. We can masterfully reinvent ourselves and recreate our lives, both personal and professional or business. Helen offers a little exercise to support you to move away from compromising yourself and towards loving and honouring yourself more. Making this shift within ourselves and in our lives would help us not project onto others, take greater personal responsibility for what repeatedly shows up in our lives and step into our power to consciously create what we want instead. It is simply time for all of us to increasingly move towards being Master Creators and we can do so by aligning with ourselves internally, accessing and raising our Spiritual or Higher Intelligence, loving and honouring ourselves greatly and creating the results and life that we want. BEST MOMENTS "They form varying sizes of communities of people with different levels of consciousness, different thoughts, emotions and behaviours.' ‘Are we to carry on the way we have for decades and accept that’s just how it is and there is nothing we can do about it, except close an eye and be positive? No, there's PLENTY we can do now!' 'We need a critical number of us rising up and changing things in a big way. We are certainly moving in that direction and we can do so with love and peace in our hearts rather than rage or aggression.'' "We need to actually rise up and really BE the change we want to see in the world." And "to begin with, we need to become really good at loving and honouring ourselves greatly, because most of us do not know how to do this really well and spontaneously.' 'If we want a loving, peaceful, harmonious, joyous and abundant world, then, we must embody these qualities ourselves, first, and exemplify them in all our interactions and relationships. It doesn’t mean we need to be perfect at all of it but we need to honestly and diligently get great at it.' ‘Our expanded selves or our greatest selves already exist within us. So there is no becoming as such but a rising up to be what we already are.’ 'We need to, not so much change ourselves, as if we are flawed and need fixing, but more to take charge of our own life because we deserve so much better, and we have SO much available to us within ourselves that we have not as yet tapped into, let alone maximised or optimised.' ‘Yes indeed, we are all moving towards being master creators and we can joyously create for ourselves and together create a whole new world of which we can take charge.’ ‘Our current systems of operating have to and will change whether we like it or not.’ "If we know how to love and honour ourselves well, we would also not be projecting onto others around us, and we would make very different choices and decisions, at work and at home, in all areas of our lives. Our communication, interactions and relationships would be very different and of a much higher level of consciousness. We would run everything differently - our homes, our communities, our countries and our world.' 'I keep saying to everyone that loving and honouring ourselves greatly is the very basis of not only our own life and our own happiness, but the more we can devotedly and successfully do this for ourselves, the more we can do this for others, and our whole wounded world would heal and be elevated to an infinitely higher level of consciousness.'

Join Rob in this inspirational episode as he discusses the importance of recognising the struggles, obstacles and challenges on your journey and the importance of owning your own pain. Discover why your journey is unique to you, why great leaders do not seek glory and why what other people think about you, does not matter.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Unless you are different from most people, you will have challenges in your life. You will have obstacles and you may feel anger, despondence and you may have felt like you would like to give up. This is all part of our own unique journey. You want to be a leader who facilitates great people. The greatest leaders are those who rise and help people become great and who do not even realise that they are being led. Great leaders do not want glory or limelight, they are just doing their job. Do not deny your reality. We cannot deal with stuff that we hide away, because it is our own struggle, we have to go within to find the answer. Everybody is called from within, it is just that some people do not hear. As it is our own pain, struggle and challenge we have to go through it and come out the other side. This is the road to glory, our glory. What other people think does not matter. We can all have wise councils and mentors and such things should be applauded. However, the answer is always to listen to the wise and filter what they say through yourself. Because ultimately, you are the one that hears it. Ask yourself ‘does this path have a heart?' If so, it is probably the right way.     BEST MOMENTS “They are your challenges, they are not mine, they are yours, they are unique to you.” “Without them, your life wouldn't have the meaning that it did.” “You want to be a leader who facilitates great people.” “Does this path have a heart?”    VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast The Stoic Art of Living: Inner Resilience and Outer Results - Tom Morris  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.

Join Rob today as he discusses the six leadership necessities taken from the inspirational workings of Sebastian Junger, a #1 New York Times best selling author. Rob discusses the ideal community size, why it is important to welcome adversity and why we need to be a part of a community in order to live a successful life.    KEY TAKEAWAYS  The greatest happiness comes from groups of people who live and work in numbers of 30-50. If you are looking to create something, you can create a community within your niche of this amount of people.  Welcome adversity. Adversity creates team spirit, unselfish and cooperative behaviour. People pull together to find a fortitude and put the group ahead of their own individual needs. That is one of the key things about a successful community.  It is morally courageous to stand up, speak your truth and look people in the eye and risk it all. It is not easy to do but it is the right thing.  You/We need a community. You cannot live successfully alone either physically or emotionally. We all rely on other people, we cannot do life alone. It is far better and far more successful when you work together.  BEST MOMENTS  “They put the survival of the group above themselves.” “The biggest businesses will not win going forward, the world is changing and it is changing at a pace.” “You can be victorious in your niche no matter how small you are.”    VALUABLE RESOURCES Leader Manager Coach Podcast The Stoic Art of Living: Inner Resilience and Outer Results - Tom Morris     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Ryles is a UEFA A licensed coach with a League Managers Association qualification and a science and medicine background.

What are the top three problems that occur time and time again in developments? In this episode Dan speaks with entrepreneur and speaker, Paul Abercrombie from bulletproof developments. They talk about Paul's experience in the development world, how to de-risk projects and how you to be successful in this field. KEY TAKEAWAYS Paul has vast experience as a development manager in various family run businesses. Over this time he has seen the same common mistakes made by developers again and again. This is one of the reasons he founded bulletproof development. The biggest problem he has found is that developers don't set risk management standards. Good developers have the same approach each time. Those who aren't experienced or have perhaps become too emotionally involved in a project, can find themselves making the numbers fit, rather than being objective. Once you know your GDV figure, be realistic and work backwards, don't be too eager and find yourself being optimistic. It might sound pessimistic, but it's important to have that buffer. When starting in talks with an investor, always calculate the interest costs based on the full amount of the loan for the term of the loan. You can balance your risk in development by diversifying your contractors. You can mitigate risk by using multiple contractors and having sub-contractors with various packages. Then if something fails, it is easy to replace just the one contract. When you add a design element into a contractor, it becomes more expensive because to them, it represents risk. Implement a document management system. Don't just use your emails, this can cause huge cost and delays if something becomes misplaced. It's something so simple but key to a successful project. BEST MOMENTS  “They can easily avoid mistakes before starting development”   “He's never seen a project that has gone on with no problems”   “They are the highest risk but the highest reward”   “Stick to what you know"     ABOUT THE GUEST Paul Abercrombie Entrepreneur, Speaker, and Founder of Multiple Businesses.

Discover today the many great traits that entrepreneurs all over the world possess. Join Rob as he discloses all the wonderful attributes millionaires, billionaires and successful people have which got them to where they are today. Rob discusses how curiosity, disruptive energy and self-belief are just some of the many traits a great entrepreneur has. KEY TAKEAWAYS   Curiosity is a trait of many entrepreneurs, especially billionaires. When you have conversations with millionaires or billionaires you may find that they are often asking you more questions than you are asking them. There is a perception that billionaires may be power-hungry or greedy but this is not always the case, they are often humble with a desire to learn.   They disrupt. They go against social and cultural norms and are prepared to do things that most people would disagree with or would resist.   Entrepreneurs have a burning desire, they have a passion and enthusiasm that never goes, despite the challenges that come their way.   Great entrepreneurs know how to surround themselves with smart people. An entrepreneur tends to be a generalist and they will surround themselves with specialists. They don't let their ego get in the way, they hire people that are good at what they do, they love to be around the very best as this inspires them.   Many entrepreneurs can push through when times are hard. The harder it gets, the more committed they are to push through and stay in the game.   Entrepreneurs have to have self-confidence and self-belief. When they start as an entrepreneur they are often not proven yet and there are no guarantees that they will succeed.   BEST MOMENTS “They are often never satisfied and they keep pushing and moving forward.” “They are seduced by the deal.” “They handle fear.” “Nothing is guaranteed as an entrepreneur.”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks        ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

There are two words that will ruin your life and Rob is here to tell you what they are. Don't miss today's podcast to find out how you can stop blocking all opportunity and growth from your life and how to open up your mindset to an infinite amount of success. Rob discusses how many entrepreneurs continuously block out solutions, how there is a misconception that the more successful you are the less problems you may have and to always remember that every winner was once a beginner. KEY TAKEAWAYS There are two words that will ruin your life. These two words will block all opportunity, solution and growth. However the majority of people's default setting is to say these two words. They continuously say these words, no matter how many solutions you offer. These two words are ‘Yeah but..' they are usually preceded by a suggestion or a solution to their problems. What ‘yeah but' is, is a lack of desire to solve the problem. Changing ‘yeah but…' to ‘tell me more' opens your mind to opportunity. Often people will say ‘yeah but it is alright for you..' suggesting that it is easy for those who are already ‘successful' to suggest a solution when they're not the ones dealing with it. Don't be naive, the more successful you are the bigger your problems become, it doesn't get easier it gets better. You can be a little bit skeptical about the solutions, but trust that they are there and verify the validity of them. Notice if you begin to say ‘yeah but it's alright for you', as it is really important to remember that every winner was once a beginner. BEST MOMENTS “They say them over and over and over again.” “It's a relevant time because at the end of the month, my new book opportunity comes out.” “Don't be a yeah but kind of person, be a ‘tell me more' kind of person.” “New level, new devil.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Have you ever been ripped-off, copied or had competitors nick your ideas? In today's Caffeine Cast Rob gives his balanced point of view on copyers, competition and how to deal with it. Listen in and learn the upsides of someone ripping you off, the leverage in someone copying your idea and the forced innovation that comes with competitors stealing your concepts. “They can copy what you do but they can't copy who you are” Rob dives into the positives of the competition copying you and how it pushes you constantly disrupt the market and become an industry trailblazer. Tune in now to hear more.  KEY TAKEAWAYS    If you're pissed off about someone ripping you off, remember that you've done it too. Otherwise, how do you learn? If you've been copied it's flattery. It means you're doing well, you're reaching people and others want to imitate what you do. Being copied is feedback that you're doing well.     Would you rather people copy you or copy someone else? Because when they're copying you it's perceived as a loss but it's also a gain and does your brand a lot of good. In a way, they act as mini affiliates or referrals. When you get copied you get shared, your reach increases and you can go viral.     If you're being copied take it as a challenge to reinvent yourself and if you think every idea has been done.  you can hybridize and fuse ideas together to form a new idea and new invention.      When people copy you, their copying you where you were and not where you're going.
