In this episode, we chat with Richard Carleton, CEO of the Canadian Securities Exchange, who provides a modern and efficient alternative for companies looking to access the Canadian public capital markets With qualifications in law and history, Richard and the CSE team have positioned the exchange to take a leading role in the provision of public capital to entrepreneurial companies; since 2014, the CSE has set a series of records for new listings, capital raised by issuers, and trading turnover. Richard shares his thoughts on the fluctuations in commodity prices and why it's affecting our industry, speaks about the geopolitical tensions that we are experiencing today, the progress being made toward addressing abusive short selling, carbon and DEI reporting requirements, and encouraging public pension plans to allocate capital to Canadian small caps and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The CSE serves as a modern and efficient alternative for companies seeking access to Canadian public capital markets, particularly for early-stage companies in sectors like mining, technology, and life sciences. Fluctuations in commodity prices significantly affect funding for exploration and development companies. The ability to secure investment is closely tied to the perceived value of the underlying minerals, and there are concerns about potential manipulation of prices that could hinder investment in Canadian resources. There is a growing recognition among Canadian provincial and federal governments of the need to support mining infrastructure, including roads, rail, and refining capabilities, to enhance the country's position as a reliable supplier of critical minerals. The CSE is working with regulators to address abusive short selling practices in the junior mining sector. Changes to rules and the clearing and settlement system are expected to reduce the prevalence of short selling, improving the market experience for junior companies. There is momentum behind encouraging Canadian public pension plans to allocate capital to small-cap companies, particularly in the mining sector. This shift is seen as crucial for providing the necessary funding for exploration and development, which has historically relied on retail investors. BEST MOMENTS "What we don't have... is in the infrastructure required to move the ores to refining and smelting capability." "I think it's fair to say we've seen that impact across the board. It's my sense... that the world price is being manipulated." "Mining is a provincial responsibility... it's really up to the provinces to provide the permitting, the rules, the regulations around exploration and mining development." "There are still a significant number of brokers that do provide advisory services to the mining industry specifically."

Today, Neil shares four essential secrets that have contributed to his success as a superhost. He emphasises the importance of understanding and solving the three types of problems that guests face: physical, emotional, and cognitive. Neil also discusses how to create a welcoming environment that prioritises guest comfort, addresses emotional concerns, and simplifies the guest experience through clear communication. KEY TAKEAWAYS As Airbnb hosts, the ultimate goal is to create happiness for guests, which leads to positive reviews, repeat bookings, and referrals. Understanding that guests are looking for comfort and reassurance is crucial. Hosts should proactively identify and address potential physical, emotional, and cognitive problems that guests may encounter during their stay. This includes ensuring comfort, providing clear instructions, and creating a welcoming environment. Guests often arrive with emotional concerns about safety and comfort. By treating guests as friends and providing a warm welcome, hosts can help alleviate these worries and create a positive first impression. To reduce cognitive friction, hosts should make information easy to absorb. This can be achieved through clear signage, labeled areas, and even video instructions, which help guests navigate the property without confusion. Building loyalty through excellent guest experiences leads to long-term value. By solving problems and creating memorable stays, hosts can increase the likelihood of repeat guests and referrals, which can significantly boost bookings. BEST MOMENTS "What do you actually get paid for? The answer is for solving other people's problems." "Guests won't always remember what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel." "When you stop seeing hosting as just renting a room, and instead, you start seeing it as solving physical, emotional, and cognitive problems, then everything changes." "Anticipate the problems before they're voiced and actively address them." "A guest with a need may not say, but their problem could ruin their stay."

Eventually, Neil transitioned to Corporate Event Team Building, eventually founding his own venture in 1999.

In this episode of The Wealth Whisperer, Hazel delves into the realities of achieving financial freedom, inspired by a recent discussion within the Freedom Club. Drawing from personal experience, Hazel encourages listeners to reflect on what they would truly do with their time if they were financially independent. KEY TAKEAWAYS Understanding Financial Freedom: Achieving financial freedom involves not just the financial means but also a mental shift in how to spend one's time. It's essential to consider what life would look like beyond the traditional work structure. Potential Challenges: Many individuals may feel lost or bored when they gain time freedom, as they are often conditioned to follow a structured routine. It's important to recognize these feelings and plan for how to fill the newfound time meaningfully. Social Connections: Financial independence can lead to a sense of isolation if friends and family are still working. Building a network of like-minded individuals is crucial for maintaining social connections and finding fulfillment in activities. Exploring Interests: With financial freedom, there is an opportunity to explore hobbies, travel, and engage in activities that bring joy. However, it's important to ensure that there are sufficient financial resources to support these pursuits. Positive Mindset: Instead of focusing on what one is escaping from (like work), it's vital to envision what one is working towards. This positive outlook can serve as motivation and help create a fulfilling life post-financial independence. BEST MOMENTS"What would I actually do with my time if I was financially free or could retire early?" "The reality may in fact be quite different to the dream." "If you have a feeling that it would be a little bit negative, that could actually end up holding you back from becoming financially free." "What would you spend your time doing if you had more time?"

She and her husband built a successful, multi-million-pound property business, next to their own careers, but soon realised that true freedom doesn’t JUST come from being financially independent… Having meant so much to her family, it has been her passion ever since, to inspire, educate and empower others on their journeys towards this 'Holy Grail'. During one particular property mentoring session back in 2009, she had a powerful recognition of exactly how to facilitate this. Nicknamed now, The Wealth Whisperer, she has a unique way of getting to the crux of what is needed to help fulfil this quest. CONTACT METHODS WebsiteInstagram

In the episode, we chat with Adrian Dance, Principal Consultant at SRK Consulting, an independent and international multi-disciplined mining consultancy focused on providing advice and solutions to clients, mainly in the earth and water resource industries. They offer services from exploration to mine closure and are specialists and leaders in fields such as due diligence, technical studies, mine waste and water management, permitting, and mine rehabilitation. Adrian’s expertise is in metallurgy and mineral processing and he's worked for the likes of Mount Isa Mines, Highland Valley, and Bisha Mining before joining SRK back in 2010 and is going to be talking about technology in mineral processing, using XRT over traditional sorting methods, AI, SRK’s partnership with Base Metallurgical Labs and why grade engineering plays a critical role in resource extraction. KEY TAKEAWAYS The mining industry is slow to adopt new technologies, which can significantly improve efficiency and processing. Embracing advancements like X-ray transmissive sensing (XRT) and AI can lead to better decision-making and operational flexibility. Implementing pre-concentration techniques to reject waste material early in the processing stage can enhance the economics of mining operations. This approach allows for the removal of waste before it enters the processing plant, reducing costs and environmental impact. The concept of grade engineering emphasises the need to actively manage and improve the quality of ore being processed. By utilising various techniques, such as differential blasting and sorting, mining operations can optimise the value extracted from their resources. Future mining operations will require more flexible processing systems that can adapt to the variability of incoming material. This includes the ability to make real-time adjustments based on the characteristics of the ore being processed. There is a need for the mining industry to break down silos between different disciplines. By fostering collaboration and sharing knowledge, companies can improve overall efficiency and innovation in mining practices. BEST MOMENTS "What we really need to be considering now more than ever is improving the quality of the material coming in to really improve the economics." "We are losing expertise; we are not really getting a lot of traction of people coming to the industry." "If you take somebody outside of the mining industry and say, we're going to process 99.999% waste to get to that .001% valuable, someone would say, check your head." "The biggest thing we want to do is to avoid people from shooting themselves in the foot with this technology."

Doug interviews Dennis Franczak, a transformative c-suite executive who shares his journey through burnout and recovery. Dennis opens up about how his single minded focus on business success cost him his marriage and nearly everything else until he hit rock bottom. Now, as CEO of Bright Matter, he helps other executives avoid the same pitfalls through his 12-week program. This honest conversation is all about vulnerability, legacy building and the importance of maintaining a healthy relationship with work before it's too late. KEY TAKEAWAYS Burnout often manifests as stepping out of important routines, falling behind on communications, and feeling disconnected from your organisation. These are all warning signs that executives frequently ignore. High performing executives resist showing vulnerability, which prevents them from seeking help; Dennis recommends watching Brené Brown's TED Talk on vulnerability as a starting point for leaders who need to break this pattern. Dennis's 12-week program works in three phases: understanding personal motivations, examining the relationship with work, and defining legacy, helping executives develop a North Star that guides decision making. Creating a legacy focused goal helps transform leadership from being self focused to purpose driven. Dennis aims to positively impact 100 people through each executive he works with, creating an exponential ripple effect. Self care practices like journaling and meditation can help executives process emotions and make better decisions by creating space between feelings and reactions. The fear of appearing vulnerable prevents many struggling executives from seeking help; acknowledging you're off your game and talking to someone you trust is the crucial first step toward recovery. Tracking daily feelings alongside self care activities using a simple scorecard helps identify which practices most effectively contribute to productivity and wellbeing. Practicing gratitude can give perspective during difficult times, remembering our finite time on earth and focusing on making a positive impact can transform how we approach challenges. BEST MOMENTS "What happens is when you start to get burnout, you start missing your goals... all the little fuses were starting to trip. Yet, I didn't notice them until the whole darn fuse box blew up." "High performers and executives don't have an opportunity to really think about their legacy when they're in the grind day to day." "The loss of the marriage was my fault because I was completely out of whack with my work life balance... I became very selfish in that and it cost me my marriage and my wife for years tried to bring me back to reality." "I go by this thing called a rule of 100. For every executive that I work with, I want my work to have a positive impact on 100 people in their lives.” "We only have a limited amount of time on this planet... be grateful for what you have, the people you have in your life. And the experiences you're having that are going to allow you to be the best version of yourself."

Jeannette is joined by Eleanor Mills, bestselling Harper Collins author of 'Much More to Come' and founder of Noon, a community dedicated to empowering women in midlife. Eleanor shares her personal journey of transformation after leaving her long-standing role at The Sunday Times, discussing the challenges and opportunities that arise during midlife. The discussion also delves into the concept of midlife as a chrysalis rather than a crisis, emphasising the importance of self-discovery, authenticity, and the power of community. KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of midlife should be viewed not as a crisis but as a transformative period, where individuals can shed old identities and emerge as their true selves, embracing new opportunities and possibilities. Building a supportive community, like the Noon Circle, is essential for women navigating midlife transitions. Sharing experiences and stories in a safe space fosters connection and encourages personal growth. Taking the first step to engage with new experiences, whether through retreats or community gatherings, can be daunting but is crucial for rebuilding confidence and discovering one's voice. Acknowledging that you are enough as you are, without the need for external validation or societal standards, is a powerful step towards self-empowerment and authenticity. BEST MOMENTS "What we see with the women in the community is this sense of a huge shift into purpose... you really haven't got so much time to kind of waste or to kind of mess around with." "I think that when we really speak up and we say what we really mean and we're not afraid, that is what can change the world." "I think that there's also a massive opportunity, a kind of liberation to step into one's power and into a new and different version of oneself."

Nick welcomes business maestro, Dan Sullivan, the founder of Strategic Coach. They delve into Dan's extensive journey in coaching, which began in 1974, and explore his transformative philosophies, including the concept of the "Four Freedoms" that entrepreneurs seek: freedom of time, money, relationships, and purpose. Dan shares insights on the importance of structured workdays, emphasising the balance between focus days, buffer days, and free days to enhance productivity and personal well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS Entrepreneurs prioritise freedom over money, with the four freedoms being freedom of time, freedom of money, freedom of relationship, and freedom of purpose. Achieving these freedoms sequentially allows entrepreneurs to focus on their true purpose in life. A structured approach to time management includes focus days for productivity, buffer days for preparation and learning, and free days for rejuvenation. This balance helps maintain high performance and prevents burnout. Cash flow is crucial for entrepreneurial success. Establishing a business model that ensures upfront payments can prevent financial strain and allow for sustainable growth. Effective entrepreneurship requires a shift from a control mindset, which focuses on maximising existing resources, to a leadership mindset that emphasises creating new opportunities and inspiring others within the organisation. BEST MOMENTS "What drives entrepreneurs and how they measure their progress is how much freedom they have." "I had to change the way I thought about things. I had to think about my identity in a very, very different way." "The job of the entrepreneur is to create a new future for the company. So you're a trailblazer." "The greatest courage required in our program is for people just to give themselves a whole day. They're not looking at their cell phone."

We are all being lied to about the cost of living crisis and in this episode, Rob reveals the things you need to know and learn to protect yourself and your money. He explains why the central banks need you to be financially dependent on them and how the money system works against the average person. He also shares the real cause of the financial difficulties in the UK and why it’s not what we are being told. KEY TAKEAWAYS The system wants and needs people to be financially dependent. The central banks need you to be in debt so they can make money from your interest. Schools do not teach the money education that would make people financially independent because it does not serve the system. We are not in a cost of living crisis, we are in a government debt crisis. Governments are knowingly creating debt and this is then passed on to the general population via loans, increased taxation and quantitively easing. Previous governments have wasted a lot of money on things like lockdown and poor buying choices. The only way to beat the system is to learn how the system works Money does not make you rich, you need assets and other ways to build wealth through investing. BEST MOMENTS "What matters is what you know, I believe the more you learn the more you earn as long as you are learning about money” “The central banks make money from debt” “Governments create debt, it’s a strategy” “We've got a debt crisis not a cost of living crisis" "The only way to beat the system is to learn how the system works" 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.

Rob examines the complexities of green energy policy and its implications for individuals and property investors in the UK. Emphasising the need for a cleaner and greener environment, the discussion highlights the potential economic burdens that may arise from the government's aggressive decarbonisation goals by 2030. KEY TAKEAWAYS The current green energy policies in the UK are viewed as unsustainable and potentially harmful to the economy, leading to higher energy bills for households and property investors. The goal to decarbonise the electricity grid by 2030 is seen as unrealistic, with significant changes required that may not be suitable for the population, potentially resulting in increased costs. Nuclear energy is presented as the cleanest and most reliable baseload energy source, necessary for achieving a greener grid, especially as wind and solar are intermittent and cannot solely meet energy demands. The push for green energy and the associated subsidies will ultimately lead to increased standing charges and energy prices, affecting lower-income households the most and creating a cycle of financial strain. BEST MOMENTS "What the government in the UK are trying to do is not sustainable and not suitable, and it really is making us all poorer." "To decarbonise the electricity grid in five years is, in my opinion, not good." "Nuclear really is the answer... if you want a greener grid and an abundance of electricity, nuclear is the way forward." "We're making ourselves poorer by design... all of those investments, all of those subsidies get passed along to us through a standing charge." "When you tell them it's gonna cost them hundreds and possibly thousands of pounds per person, that's when you're gonna get resistance."

Accept that what you say plays a role in what action they will take. Think of speaking to others as a privilege, something you get to do, rather than have to do. Be creative in the way you communicate. Preparation is essential, think about what you want your audience to know, think and feel.  Be clear in your mind what actions you want them to take after listening to you. What are you trying to motivate them to do? Using the right structure for your presentation is vital. In the episode, David explains how to use the Pentagon model to overcome any doubts your audience may have. Use what-ifs to persuade people of the importance of implementing what you are suggesting. Focus on the outcomes you want. Involve your audience in your presentation. David provides some examples of how to do this. Avoid using accusatory language. The way you pace your delivery matters. BEST MOMENTS “What you're doing with communication is you're helping people to achieve a better state, helping people to learn, helping people to understand.” “It´s not about you, it´s about them (your audience)… see it as an act of service.” “The meaning of your communication is the response that you get.” “Use examples in your talk to enliven all senses and then ask questions to empower them.” “In your delivery make sure you are empowering people.” ABOUT THE HOST David Roberts is a highly regarded CEO, mentor, and investor with 30 years of experience across multiple sectors.

Angela shares practical tips for downregulating the nervous system amidst the busy period of the holiday season. Emphasising the importance of integrating small, manageable practices into daily routines, Angela highlights techniques such as post-workout relaxation, diaphragmatic breathing, and the benefits of Zone 2 training. KEY TAKEAWAYS Incorporate short practices throughout the day, such as deep breathing or lying down for a minute after intense exercise, to help downregulate the nervous system and improve overall well-being. Engage in moderate-intensity activities, like casual walking, which can benefit the endocrine and immune systems without the pressure of high-intensity workouts. Taking short breaks (e.g., 10 minutes) between meetings can help maintain calmness and reduce stress, allowing for better focus and efficiency. Alternate between high-intensity cognitive tasks and low-intensity activities to optimise productivity and reduce cognitive fatigue. Avoid excessive task switching to prevent attention residue.

This state allows individuals to connect with their innate intelligence, wisdom, and creativity, fostering a sense of peace and purpose. Question your beliefs and consider the possibility that your perspectives may be illusions, which can lead to greater self-awareness and understanding of others. The world is undergoing a consciousness shift, with more people becoming aware and seeking positive change. This collective awakening can be catalysed by challenges and suffering, prompting individuals to reflect and grow. By cultivating inner peace, individuals can contribute to a ripple effect that positively impacts families, communities, and the world. BEST MOMENTS "What we're watching is ego versus ego. Both sides striving to win over each other." "Your ego has been conditioned to believe you are separate, so you're not connected to everyone and everything." "Real transformation comes from within. It comes from listening, deep, genuine listening." "What if we held the possibility that our beliefs might be illusions?"

On this episode of the Scouting For Growth podcast, Sabine VdL talks to Dawn Herndon, a visionary leader at the forefront of artificial intelligence innovation. With a profound passion for technology and its transformative impact on society, Dawn is spearheading IBM's efforts in embeddable AI and the groundbreaking watsonx platform.  Her work is revolutionizing how organizations across industries integrate AI into their products and services, enabling real-time data processing, decision-making, and automation directly within applications and devices. Dawn will share her insights on the challenges and opportunities organizations face when integrating AI, the importance of trustworthy and responsible AI, and her vision for the future trends in our rapidly evolving landscape. KEY TAKEAWAYS I have the best job in the company, every day I get to talk about emerging technologies and right now it's all about AI. Pert of what makes this an exciting topic is that it's a bit unknown to people, and organisations and companies are trying to figure out what to do with AI.  What excites me most about AI technology is the innovations that comes from companies take advantage of these technologies and the ability they have to leverage it to drive real and tangible outcomes for their business. These can be enhanced productivity, attracting new clients, getting to new markets, driving their products, services, and solutions into new market categories. My passion lies in helping drive that innovation with the companies that we work with by providing thought leadership or co-creating with them. Embeddable AI has evolved not only so a company can leverage NLP/speak-to-text/text-to-speech technologies in the AI space but has expanded into the production of the “what's next platform.” IBM's platform provides not only machine learning technology and advanced analytics but also an overall studio for organisations to incorporate large language models, train them, fine tune them, provide governance around the models, and ways for organisations to take advantage of IBM's AI technologies to drive productivity, efficiency, and optimisation. You can't have AI if you don't have data. If you have large sources of data and you don't know where it came from then you have risk and exposure. IBM believes that data should be trusted, that you should know the data and, if you're working with our AI technology, that you own the data, we don't use your data, you use it to accomplish the outcome you're driving in your business. More than that, we have a keen focus on governance, risk management and compliance – AI ethics. BEST MOMENTS ‘What is your company trying to solve and how can we work together to leverage technology that helps you solve that initiative and helps you drive that outcome you're trying to achieve?' ‘We want to make sure it's tangible for an organisation and we do that by using an AI assistant, which doesn't just provide a conversational AI-based interface but integrations to back-end systems.' ‘Once a person joins an organisation and becomes an employee, watsonx orchestrate provides that ability for a manager to take action on anything to do with employee relations, like processing a salary increase.' ‘Productivity is an ambiguous word that can be applied to so many different situations within companies, AI can improve that productivity across your enterprise.' ABOUT THE GUEST Dawn Herndon is an experienced global business leader with over 25 years at IBM, showcasing expertise across various functional areas, general management, and building strategic partnerships. Currently serving as the IBM Vice President of EMEA Build Ecosystem and AI Partnerships, Dawn is at the forefront of the evolution of AI, focusing on embedding AI and watsonx.

In this special highlights episode, Ishreen takes listeners on a compelling journey through the transformative landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). She discusses the powerful benefits organisations can reap from embracing DEIB as an integral part of organisational culture, including enhanced creativity, employee loyalty, and cultural awareness. Ishreen also addresses the uncomfortable reality of organisations that actively oppose DEIB and poses challenging questions about accountability.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Ishreen emphasizes the need to shift diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) from a compliance-driven checkbox to an integral part of organizational culture, promoting a mindset of shared responsibility. This new approach focuses on creating real opportunities and fostering community engagement, as exemplified by Metro Bank's partnership with the English and Wales Cricket Board, which aims to support women and girls in cricket. Organizations can gain ten powerful benefits from embracing integral DEIB, including improved creativity, decision-making, employee loyalty, and cultural awareness. However, many companies are still not fully utilizing these benefits due to outdated compliance-led approaches. The evolution of DEIB requires a cultural shift where every employee feels they belong, moving beyond mere targets for diverse hires to creating an environment of inclusivity and support. Ishreen raises the question of whether companies that actively oppose DEIB should be named and shamed, highlighting the importance of accountability in the pursuit of meaningful change in the face of resistance. BEST MOMENTS "What if we could reframe DEIB to benefit everyone?" "It's not about avoiding getting caught. It's about fundamentally shifting mindsets and embracing a culture of shared responsibility and growth." "DEIB isn't just good for humanity, it's good for business." "Should we name and shame these companies? Should they be held to account for their retrogressive actions?" "It's time to stop viewing DEIB as an optional add-on. It needs to be integral, unshakable."

Hello and welcome to another episode of the Perception Podcast with me your host Caroline Partridge. In today's episode I'm joined once again by relationship expert and trauma specialist Sally Baker. Sally breaks down the not so obvious downside of online dating, the red, amber and beige flags to be aware of, exactly how the phenomena of ghosting, cuffing, breadcrumbing and firedooring diminish our self esteem and ultimately mental health, and the ramifications of the Covid pandemic on dating trends. She shares why you shouldn't start dating in autumn or winter months, and discloses the dating trend that is throwing online dating sites into mass panic. So please join me as we look a life through a different lens.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Online dating platforms are seeing a downturn in subscribers due to user dissatisfaction with behaviours like "breadcrumbing" and "ghosting," which negatively impact self-esteem and mental health. There's a growing trend towards meeting people in real life through shared interests and activities, providing more authentic connections and context. The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted dating trends, relationship dynamics, and people's overall approach to socialising. "Cuffing season" occurs in autumn and winter, when people lower their standards for companionship during colder months, often leading to spring breakups. Slow dating, which gained popularity during the pandemic, involves taking more time to get to know potential partners before meeting in person. Meeting people out of context through online dating can be risky; using intuition and being aware of red flags is crucial for safety. Doing personal growth work and developing self-worth before dating can lead to healthier relationships and better partner choices. Shifting focus from internal to external landscapes by engaging in volunteer work or group activities can improve overall well being and increase chances of meeting like-minded individuals. BEST MOMENTS "What's happening in the world of online dating is that all of the dating platforms are seeing a downturn in the number of subscribers. So their business model isn't growing exponentially as it was. It's diminishing." "My first word of advice is never do it in autumn and winter. It's too cold, it's too dark. Wait till spring." "It's about having, having a big life, and having a big life. And you're right, lots of people are, their, their friendships. Groups are established and those people are often in couples and I would actually encourage my friends to pimp for me." "We've become very fearful and we've made our lives much smaller." "When you shift focus to the external landscape, and that's the world around you, that's connection, that's when you thrive." ABOUT THE GUEST Blog Sally Baker APAQAM Sally is a highly experienced licensed and accredited award winning therapist, writer and speaker.

On this episode of the World Game-Changers podcast Paul talks to Sharon Griffiths about the things she didn't know that he now knows and thinks the world should know. KEY TAKEAWAYS I didn't know how many people would still be with me or would have left me in this world, and I didn't know how I'd feel about each one. I also didn't know what I'd be doing now, or that my husband would say this on a regular basis: You've got an amazing talent, Sharon – pointing out the obvious! The mind is full of stuff we don't know about, and suddenly up pops a thought. As a child, I rarely found adults to answer my questions, so I became very curious, and I'd have discussions with myself to get clarity on what I wanted to do and achieve. I didn't know that was normal and that other people did it. If you have a challenge, it's obvious that by stepping into that challenge/problem/issue, that's where the solution is. You cannot think yourself out of where you've acted yourself into. By stepping into the challenge, you've acted yourself there. The only way to get out of it is not the way that took you there, it's a different way of thinking. BEST MOMENTS ‘What may appear chaotic, confusing or something I may not know about, I either point out the obvious to myself or I ignore it because it's not relevant to me.' ‘If people talk to me about their problems, I used to get myself in trouble because I'd point out the obvious, and I learned to keep quiet because it wasn't for me to do that to people..' ‘I would often self-sabotage, I wasn't aware that I was doing it but it was obvious from the outside and I was often told I was my own worst enemy.'

Don´t be too fast to judge. Give people more grace, very few people are truly mean. Start networking before you set up your business. BEST MOMENTS “What will get you a deal, help, or the capital is you sitting down and knowing your business and being able to talk about it.” “Think of all the things that can make your idea unsuccessful, if you still see the market, then full steam ahead.” “I wouldn't say I have encountered people that are just downright mean, they just don't know, they're ignorant.” EPISODE RESOURCES https://startupjunkie.org https://startupjunkie.org/podcast https://www.instagram.com/claudiapscott https://www.facebook.com/claudiapscott claudia@startupjunkie.org ABOUT THE SHOW People with purpose make a difference.

Rob discusses the ongoing issues surrounding cladding in UK housing, particularly in light of a recent fire in a tower block in Dagenham. Drawing parallels to the tragic Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, he highlights the alarming safety concerns related to building materials and the potential negligence in planning approvals.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The recent fire in a Dagenham tower block has reignited discussions about cladding safety, highlighting ongoing issues since the Grenfell Tower fire in 2017, which resulted in significant loss of life and raised questions about building regulations. Eyewitness accounts from the Dagenham fire indicate that fire alarms and sprinkler systems may not have functioned properly, raising serious concerns about the safety measures in place within high-rise buildings. There is a growing demand for accountability in the housing market, particularly regarding how buildings with potentially unsafe cladding have been approved. Trust in builders and the housing market is crucial for future developments. Residents of buildings with cladding issues may face increased insurance costs, difficulties in selling their properties, and rising service charges, which can lead to financial strain and decreased property values. BEST MOMENTS "What's alarming is that people... were trying to set off the fire alarms... that either the fire alarm sprinkler system wasn't working or the alarms weren't working." "If cladding has been faulty or incongruent with the building itself or building rules and regulations, then there has to be some accountability there." "This is one of those expenses that is... necessary, because you're dealing with people's livelihoods here." "If you're going to do something, do it properly, and ideally do it right first time."

In this episode, Ash and Kane outline what to do once you have secured your podcast sponsor and discuss contracts, scripts, remaining authentic, sales and more! KEY TAKEAWAYS Ask your sponsor, what is it they want you to pitch, is there anything new they want you to focus on for example? Think about the tone of the ad you want to put in your episodes, where will it naturally fit and what angle works for your content. It's good to have features and benefits in your ad read for your sponsor, but scripts can feel unnatural and unauthentic. Larger companies will usually write up their own contract for you to sign, ensure you read through it and understand it properly before signing. Ensure you work with the sponsor to decide whether they want dynamic or baked-in ads and if they have preferences for where in the episode the ad appears. Be clear on what their expectations are from the partnership, is it purely brand awareness or is there a target of sales they are looking at.

In this episode, Christina considers the power of asking the simple yet impactful question, "What can I do for you?" She emphasizes how this question shifts the focus from oneself to the person being asked, making the conversation more about them. Christina discusses how asking this question in various contexts, such as sales, marketing, and personal relationships, can lead to more personalized and tailored interactions.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Asking "What can I do for you?" is a powerful question that shifts the focus onto the other person, making the conversation about their needs and desires. This question can be used in various contexts, such as sales, marketing, relationships, and even with family members, to show genuine interest in helping and supporting others. By asking this question, one can tailor their services or assistance to meet specific needs, creating a more personalized and impactful interaction. Acting on the answer received from asking this question not only feels good but also demonstrates authenticity and selflessness in helping others. Incorporating this question into conversations can empower the dialogue, create intentional support, and ultimately strengthen relationships and connections. BEST MOMENTS "What can I do for you? It shifts the focus from you to the person you're talking to. It makes the conversation about them." "If someone does something for me, I'm asking, you know, it's one thing to say thank you, but to follow that up with, is there something I can do for you?" "It's massively powerful. Business-wise, asking that question can just empower the whole conversation that you're having and is something I invite you to do." "It's so powerful in terms of building relationships with people, not just your clients, but all of your contacts, even with family members." "It's massively powerful.

Ash and Kane combat some of the biggest challenges podcasters face in this episode. They talk about how to manage your time as a podcaster, monetisation, how to get guests, how to eliminate common tech problems and how to ensure you have niched your podcast down effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS Create a bank of content, so if you do find yourself with less time you can still put out episodes. You can use AI to give you content ideas or you can use your audience by asking what they would like to hear. Not having enough of a niche. Think about your strategy or/and your demographic and niche down as much as possible. A spreadsheet is a good way to organise researching and contacting guests, you can keep track of when and how you reached out to them and all info needed and continue to use the same sheet when a guest is on your show. Recording in a studio can make the whole process more enjoyable for you as a host but also eliminates tech problems.

In this episode, Ash and Kane debunk common podcasting myths and answer questions on everything from sponsorship to the true cost of podcasting. KEY TAKEAWAYS Brands don't know you exist. You have to let them know about you, you don't necessarily need high listener numbers for them to see potential, just a loyal following. What do your audience spend money on and what problems do they need solving? Then look for the brands that align with this and approach them for sponsorship. Interviews are good for building authority but solo content is where you build real rapport with your audience. It's not difficult to get guests for new podcasters, most people's favourite topic is themselves and they are happy to be interviewed on your podcast.

Alex is joined by Dr. Nicholas Perna to talk about nasality. They discuss and unravel the mysteries of the nose's role in vocal production, from debunking myths about nasal resonance to exploring the benefits of nasal airflow, Dr. Perna's insights will challenge your assumptions and expand your understanding of vocal technique. Whether you're a singing teacher or a curious vocalist, this episode offers a fresh perspective on an often misunderstood aspect of voice production. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nasality in singing is often misperceived; what we think sounds nasal is usually twang or high spectral energy, not actual nasal airflow. The soft palate's movement in singing is more of a backward motion rather than an upward lift, contrary to common teaching cues. A mild amount of velopharyngeal opening can positively impact resonance stability, especially in the passaggio range for tenors. The term "nasal resonance" may be misleading, as the nose neither amplifies nor enriches sound in singing. Contemporary singing styles often rely on audio processing and EQ adjustments, which significantly affect the final sound beyond the singer's raw vocal output. Good scientific research seeks to disprove itself, challenging researchers to remain curious and open to new findings. Singers and teachers should focus on the journey of learning rather than believing they've reached a definitive destination in understanding vocal technique. Exploring velopharyngeal opening in musical theatre singers, particularly in mix and belt techniques, is an area ripe for future research.   BEST MOMENTS "What nasality is does not often coincide to its perceptual characteristics. And equally, studies have demonstrated that there isn't really this general consensus amongst singing teachers about perceived nasality." "Good science seeks to disprove itself. Staying curious means that you have an awareness that you are probably wrong." "The likelihood that that sound includes nasal airflow and that the soft palate is relaxed is very low because what the nasal passage does it has very thick mucous membranes. It's moist. There's other structures up there, typically hair, et cetera. And those things, dull sound, particularly high spectral energy." "I propose that we eliminate the term nasal resonance, nasal resonance altogether, because the nose neither, if we think of resonance as a definition of amplification and enrichment, it is neither amplifying sound, nor is it enriching sound." "The easiest observation you can obviously make, just to know whether there's anything happening or not, is to simply sustain a tone, pinch your nose shut, and see if any, you notice any difference.” EPISODE RESOURCES Voice Study Centre (Podcast) Singing Teachers Talk: Ep.151 How to Sing with Twang with Kerrie Obert (Podcast) Singing Teachers Talk: Ep.

Today, David is joined by entrepreneur, prolific author, and disrupter Rob Moore to talk about The Money Matrix. A system that whoever controls the central banks, and the governments has created as a powerful monopoly to maximise profit. Doing so in a way that benefits the shareholders of whoever owns the world, far more so than it does ordinary people. Rob explains how to escape the money matrix and create your own mini-monopoly. A system that benefits you and generates the wealth and security so many of us seek. KEY TAKEAWAYS For every £10 you earn £7 is swallowed by the system. The central banks and government exercise a lot of control. You can use money to gain freedom. Having enough money means being able to live freely and comfortably while always beating the inflation rate. Becoming an entrepreneur enables you to create money that the system can´t control. Tax is your biggest expense. For an employed person, starting a side hustle is step one of controlling tax expenditure. Do what the banks do keep your money moving, keep investing and earning.  How you invest depends on how much money you have and how dependent you are on it. Back yourself. Start by investing in what you know. BEST MOMENTS ‘What can you do without money, nowadays? Virtually nothing.' ‘The main way that you can create freedom is to have money and have money that the system can't control.' ‘Money enables a better delivery of your purpose.' ‘In 10 years, that is going to be worth half, so it´s not enough money anymore.'

This time, I talk about the importance of market research and due diligence when entering a new market location. I'll share six vital numbers that investors should know, including local area square foot rates, competitor occupancy levels, operating costs, build-out costs, market capital costs, and cap rates. I also provide methods for gathering this information, such as online searches, talking to agents, reviewing competition, checking out developments, and networking.  KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to gather information about the local area, including the square foot rate or desk rate, competitor occupancy levels, operating cost per square foot, build-out costs, market capital costs, and cap rates or yields investors are seeking. Methods to gather this information include online research, talking to agents, reviewing competition, checking out developments in the area, looking at the requirement list, placing ads, and networking. It is crucial to physically visit the area and observe what is happening on the ground and where investments are going. Negative or positive findings about an area should not immediately rule it out, as problems may lead to better opportunities. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to gather and analyse the information to make informed decisions about investing in a new market location. BEST MOMENTS "What are the steps to ascertaining market demand in a new market location that you haven't owned anything in before?"  "Nothing beats getting in the car or on your bike if you're that way inclined, and taking a look about on the streets. Only then do you see what sidenof the tracks are better and where the investments are going."  "If an area is up and coming, there are developments going on, but maybe not too much, then you know those are some big ticks ✅ in the boxes."  VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI-Network of commercial property investors, who are working, learning and supporting each other on the Get in The Swim Membership https://commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/get-in-the-swim/Property Investing, Commercial Real Estate, Strategies, CMO, Lease, Licence Agreement, Cashflow, Vacancy rates, Agents, Best Commercial property podcast, how to buy, Valuations, ROI, residential, assets, Flexspace, office space, How to get started: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/

This time, I address a common question: what is the best commercial property investment strategy for beginners? I share my own experiences in the world of commercial property investing, dispelling any glamorous notions and highlighting the practical challenges i've faced. I also discuss the importance of taking action and getting started, even if it means starting with a simple buy-to-let property or a small-scale mixed-use development, and encourage you to tailor your initial investments to your comfort level and goals KEY TAKEAWAYS The best commercial property investment strategy for beginners may vary depending on their comfort level and aspirations. Starting with a simple buy-to-let property with a tenant already in place can provide confidence and help get things moving. Consider exploring more interesting options, such as small mixed-use developments or commercial multiple occupancy, to add value and gain experience. Overcoming inertia and taking action is crucial, even if it means starting with a safer and less risky investment. Building a network, earning street cred, and gaining experience are valuable benefits that come with taking action in the commercial property market. BEST MOMENTS "What is the best commercial property investment strategy for beginners?"  "Baby steps might be the right answer."  "A straightforward buy to let with no tenant will give you that ability to add value."  "The most expensive thing though, the thing that will cost you the most is actually probably doing nothing."

Dan Eaton hosts the podcast in this short episode where he talks about how you can get started in commercial conversions this year. If you have wanted to get into property development, particularly around converting unused and unwanted buildings then this is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS  From old banks to closed-down offices, there is a huge opportunity to convert into much needed residential accommodation. There is a whole host of building types that have permitted development rights and these are what you want to focus on. Permitted development is easy, it's as simple as putting in the application form and waiting for the council to accept. Leveraging the expertise of others is essential in the strategy including builders and investors. Conversions may not cost as much as you expect. Commercial conversions rely on finance and investors you cannot save your way to pay for a conversion. BEST MOMENTS   "What type of buildings do we need to convert?” “We can take those buildings and convert them into residential use without the need for planning permission” “I don't know how to build things but I do know how to ask people who do” “We use other peoples money to do these types of conversions” VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE GUEST Want to Connect with Carole?

Podcast Summit Join Ash and Kane as they talk through the practical steps you can take to get started on your podcasting journey in 2024 as an independent creator. From deciding on your content to how to get accountability, they cover everything you need to know to just get started in podcasting without wasting precious time or breaking the bank. KEY TAKEAWAYS Before you do anything else, nail down exactly who your audience is. Once you know who your listeners are you can figure out what your message is, the problems you want to solve and therefore the content you want to create. Regardless of what you might think, you need to differentiate yourself and being niche is one of the ways to do this successfully in podcasting. If you properly commit to something, by taking a step and creating accountability, you are much more likely to continue and follow through. Once you have started to create content, you can then make artwork etc to match this. Your ideas for the branding will change once you start to record episodes. Your branding, name etc can evolve and change over the years, what you decide on now doesn't have to be what you keep forever. You don't need a perfect podcast to launch, it's most important that you just get started. Perfectionism usually comes from fear of failure. The most important thing for success in podcasting is simply creating great content. BEST MOMENTS "What are you talking about, who are talking to and what problem are you solving?” “You need to differentiate” “It changes and evolves naturally” “90% of it [podcasting success] is content” “The longer you wait to create your content the more people that are going to have a head start on you” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/all-up-in-your-biz-with-yvonne-tchrakian/id1710512693 Website 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.

Join Rob in this excerpt from his recent interview with Former host of SAS Who Dares Wins Ant Middleton. They discuss why tax in the UK is out of control, the dangers it poses and the solutions to living in the current system as a high earner. KEY TAKEAWAYS There is very little keeping the wealthiest in the UK, there aren't many direct benefits to the amount of tax they pay. Ant has no issues with paying taxes but the amount now for high earners is extremely high, sometimes over 50% once everything is calculated. The UK government has a part to play for there being a lack of billionaires and corporations in this country, they don't want to be based here because of the tax implications. It doesn't matter what you own, if the government want to they can take it from you. Whilst Ant knows he could live on £30k a year, he also now knows he is capable of earning more, so why would he not go out and do so? BEST MOMENTS "What am I getting from the government that's going to keep me in this country?” “Two to three quarters of what you earn is spent on tax” “I can't change the system but what I can do is work my way into a better one, a better way of life” “Nothing actually really belongs to you” “Money is just numbers” 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.

Simon shares valuable hints and tips for effective goal-setting, beginning by discussing the importance of setting goals and shares his personal experience of achieving goals he initially thought were impossible. He challenges the traditional advice of setting achievable and realistic goals, instead encouraging listeners to set big, stretching goals that may seem impossible at first.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting goals is important for achieving success in various areas of life, including property investing. It is beneficial to set big, stretching goals that may seem impossible at first, as they push you to think and act differently and can lead to greater results. Don't limit yourself by setting only achievable and realistic goals; instead, focus on what you truly want to achieve and why. Writing down your goals increases the likelihood of them becoming a reality. Building a network of like-minded individuals can provide valuable resources and support to help you achieve your goals. BEST MOMENTS "What would you do if you knew you could not fail?" "By setting impossible goals, it gets you to realise you need to do things differently." "Don't set achievable and realistic goals just because you want the satisfaction of achieving your goals." "If you set realistic goals, you have to do things that you know you can achieve and that means you do what you've always done."

Rob examines an interesting law change that could potentially double council tax for second homeowners in Bath and North East Somerset, UK. As he explains, it is primarily a means for the council to generate more revenue, and Rob questions whether doubling the council tax will actually incentivise second homeowners to bring their empty properties back onto the market, as the affluent nature of the area may mean that the increased tax is easily affordable for most... KEY TAKEAWAYS The council in Bath and North East Somerset is considering doubling the council tax for second homeowners in an effort to bring long-term empty homes back onto the market. The council believes that there are 858 homes in the area that would be impacted by this tax increase, which could generate an additional £1.84 million per year. However, it is unlikely that doubling the council tax will have a significant impact on second homeowners in Bath and North East Somerset, as the area is relatively affluent and most homeowners can likely afford the increase. If the tax increase does not incentivise second homeowners to sell their properties, they may instead choose to rent them out or use them for short-term rentals like Airbnb, which would not result in any additional council tax revenue. BEST MOMENTS "What the council were trying to do, apart from make cash, which they won't admit, but let's be honest, that's what they're looking to do."  "If the council tax were to be doubled and there's no restrictions in those areas, i.e. let's just say there's not an Article 4 restriction or whatever, these people might then decide to rent out the property."  "The council probably just needs to turn around and say, look, we're a bit short on cash and we're going to do other videos about other councils that have gone bankrupt in a future video and episode."  VALUABLE RESOURCES GET YOUR DEVELOPMENT FINANCE HERE: https://propertyfundingplatform.com/WharfFinancial#!/borrowerinitialregistration SOVEREIGN MAN PREMIUM INTELLIGENCE MEMBERSHIP https://dash.sovereignman.com/a/smc12m995/tpnpodcast SOVEREIGN MAN 4th PILLAR https://dash.sovereignman.com/a/4pmain/tpnpodcast ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone is the author of the Amazon best-seller Buy-To-Let: How To Get Started as well as 101 Top Property Tips and Property FAQ's.

In this episode, Dr. Dunni explores the concept of letting go. She encourages listeners to reflect on what they are holding onto that may be harming them or keeping them stuck. Dr. Dunni shares stories of an elephant, a snake, and an ugly duckling to illustrate the importance of examining our beliefs, emotions, and identities. She emphasizes the need to challenge limiting beliefs, release negative emotions, and redefine our true identities. Through practical strategies and the power of self-reflection, Dr. Dunni guides mothers towards enhancing their overall wellbeing of body, mind, soul, and spirit. KEY TAKEAWAYS It is important to regularly evaluate and challenge the beliefs that are holding us back and keeping us stuck. These beliefs can be acquired from various sources such as parents, society, or religion. Emotions like anger, fear, and worry can have a negative impact on our well-being if we hold onto them for too long. It is crucial to recognize and let go of these emotions that are not serving us. Our identity is key to our well-being. We need to remember that we have the power to evolve and redefine ourselves, regardless of past experiences or labels placed upon us. Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves. Holding onto grudges or unforgiveness only harms us in the long run. Letting go and forgiving ourselves and others can lead to a positive shift in our well-being. Taking time to reflect on our beliefs, emotions, and identities is essential for enhancing our well-being. This can be done on a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis, depending on individual preference. Using techniques like self-reflection and declaring our desired identity can help in this process. BEST MOMENTS"What belief are you holding on to that is keeping you stuck?" "The beliefs that worked for you last year might not work for you this year." "Some people are afraid of success." "Unforgiveness is just like you drinking poison and wanting another person to die." "You are evolving. You are super."  VALUABLE RESOURCESThe burnout checklist- https://forms.gle/Re3E2FeEjuLEMvWJ6The Working Mothers handbook: 8 keys - www.drdunni.com/handbook bit.ly/w4mclub https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers  Ig- https://www.instagram.com/druwa.lifecoach/ YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg CH- https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa FB- https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy Twitter- https://twitter.com/Druwa8 Patreon - https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers  HOST BIOYour host Dr Dunni is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a super mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

Rob delves into the topic of heat pumps and their suitability for British homes,  highlighting the potential disadvantages such as increased bills and the need for proper insulation. Rob also address the issue of noise levels, stating that heat pumps may be too noisy for built-up areas and terraced houses. KEY TAKEAWAYS Heat pumps are considered too noisy for British homes, despite plans to install millions of them. This poses a challenge for homeowners and the implementation of heat pump technology. Heat pumps can lead to increased energy bills, especially if the rest of the home is not properly insulated or if the switch from gas to electric is made. This is an important consideration for individuals looking to install heat pumps. Terraced houses and older style properties may face difficulties in accommodating heat pumps due to limited space and potential noise issues. This raises concerns about the feasibility of heat pump installations in these types of properties. The UK's energy companies and the higher cost of electricity compared to gas contribute to the potential financial burden of using heat pumps. This aspect is often overlooked when promoting heat pump technology.

I'm joined by property investor Mark Homer, who discusses a fascinating commercial property project in Peterborough. The project involved the redevelopment of an 80,000 square foot department store that had been vacant since Marks and Spencer's moved out in 2015. Mark shares the challenges he faced in acquiring the property and navigating the planning process. He also reveals how the original main contractor went into administration, forcing him to create his own building company to complete the project.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Mark had to overcome challenges with financing and finding the right team to complete the project successfully. Mark emphasises the importance of understanding permitted development rights and leveraging them to maximise the value of the property. The initial investment strategy had to be adapted based on the local market and available opportunities. There were many setbacks that Mark had to face, such as the main contractor going into administration, but he was able to pivot and build the project himself with his own team. Mark highlights the importance of managing health and safety regulations and having a dedicated team to ensure compliance throughout the construction process. BEST MOMENTS "What sort of really got me into it was I saw these permitted development rights and the vendors, well, they didn't get that."  "I thought, maybe this is the thing to do. I said, yeah, that's where I was getting to. So that's what I did." "I've got a health and safety consultant every two weeks on site for a report. Every single thing on there that's amber or red, I'd want it all."  "I've had main contractors lying to me for years about all sorts of stuff and creating stress. Because they're that middle party. Everything then becomes more opaque."  "So we went to the first one's house, and his wife was there. I had his address from somewhere. I think I did a bit. I stayed at 192, you know, company's house, whole lot, got his home address, went round."  VALUABLE RESOURCES If you want to learn more about investing in Commercial Property why not consider joining the CPI-Network of commercial property investors, who are working, learning and supporting each other on the Get in The Swim Membership https://commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/get-in-the-swim/  Property Investing, Commercial Real Estate, Strategies, CMO, Lease, Licence Agreement, Cashflow, Vacancy rates, Agents, Best Commercial property podcast, how to buy, Valuations, ROI, residential, assets, Flexspace, office space, How to get started: https://www.commercialpropertyinvestor.co.uk/

In this episode of the Wellbeing for Mothers show, Dr. Dunni explores the concept of resilience and how what doesn't kill you can make you stronger. Drawing from personal experiences and examples of influential figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks, Dr. Dunni discusses the power of emotions such as sadness, fear, anger, and love in overcoming challenges and setbacks. She emphasizes the importance of self-love and the role it plays in building resilience. Listeners are encouraged to embrace their emotions, utilize them as fuel for growth, and prioritize their own well-being. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Embracing difficult experiences can lead to personal growth: The saying "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" holds true for many mothers who have faced challenging situations. By experiencing and learning from these hardships, they can become stronger individuals. It's important to give yourself time to grieve: When faced with setbacks or painful experiences, it's natural to feel sadness or defeat. It's crucial to allow yourself the space and time to grieve before moving forward. Emotions like fear and anger can be utilized as sources of motivation: Fear and anger, though often seen as negative emotions, can actually serve as powerful motivators. They can provide the energy and determination needed to overcome obstacles and achieve goals. Love yourself first: Prioritizing self-love is essential for personal growth and the ability to love others. Taking care of your own well-being and acknowledging your worth is a crucial step in building resilience. Resilience is built through self-care and self-empowerment: By practicing self-care, embracing emotions, and tapping into personal strengths, mothers can develop resilience and navigate the challenges of motherhood more effectively. BEST MOMENTS: "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger." "Crying that this has happened to you, or you've experienced something, it's not the end of it. It's what you do afterwards."  "You might be thinking, 'Oh no, do you want your child to be sad?' No, I don't want my child to be sad. But if that sadness is what's going to bring an awakening for my child, please my child, be sad to get that very much needed awakening."  "Fear can be utilized as a rocket fuel to help you be better and to achieve your goals."  "Love is a gift you give to yourself first, because only when you love yourself will you be able to love your neighbor."   The burnout checklist- https://forms.gle/Re3E2FeEjuLEMvWJ6  The Working Mothers handbook: 8 keys - www.drdunni.com/handbook  bit.ly/w4mclub  https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers   Ig- https://www.instagram.com/druwa.lifecoach/  YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9C1oJwHyISEuqiX8USaYKg  CH- https://www.clubhouse.com/@drdunni-druwa  FB- https://www.facebook.com/druwaacademy  Twitter- https://twitter.com/Druwa8  Patreon - https://patreon.com/wellbeing4mothers   Your host Dr Dunni is the award-winning mum empowerment coach, Family doctor, International speaker, Best-selling author of the book ‘Every Mum is a super mum' and a mum herself who is passionate about health and wellbeing.

Join Dr Irene Ching as she discusses the importance of balancing blood glucose levels. She explains the optimal blood glucose range and the potential risks of having levels that are too high or too low and delves into the negative effects of high blood sugar, such as damage to the mitochondria and long-term complications like heart disease and kidney damage. She also provides tips for balancing blood glucose and talks about the power of continuous glucose monitoring and its potential benefits for improving health and longevity. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Balancing blood glucose levels is crucial for optimal health and performance. The optimal fasting blood glucose level is around 85 milligrams per deciliter or 4.7 millimole per litre in the UK system. High blood glucose levels can lead to damage to the mitochondria, causing fatigue and difficulty in obtaining energy. It can also lead to long-term complications such as atherosclerosis, heart disease, visual deterioration, and kidney damage. Low blood glucose levels can result in symptoms like tiredness, brain fog, and confusion. In severe cases, it can lead to coma or even death. Lifestyle choices, including nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management, play a significant role in balancing blood glucose levels. Eating a smart breakfast with low glycemic index carbohydrates, proteins, and fats can help regulate blood glucose levels. Monitoring blood glucose levels using devices like Zoe or Libra, or continuous glucose monitoring, can provide valuable insights into how different foods and activities affect blood glucose levels and help improve overall health and longevity. BEST MOMENTS "What is good about Zoe or Libra? Non-diabetics are buying them to monitor their blood sugar, including Stephen Bartlett"  "Decreasing insulin is important for weight loss."  "This is what we call continuous glucose monitoring. And this has been used in type 1 diabetes for a long time."  Join Patreon : http://www.patreon.com/drireneching Instagram: irene.ching.777 Tiktok: @ireneching777 Youtube channel: Dr Irene Ching Twitter: @ireneching7777 Clubhouse: @ireneching1 https://www.facebook.com/irene.ching.735 LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/irene-ching-742623219 Dr Irene Ching is a medical practitioner who specialises in Family Medicine, Wealth and Life Coach, Property/ Business Investor, Speaker, and Podcaster : Be Happy, Healthy and Wealthy.

In this episode, David is joined by Christina Robinson, who is CEO of Green Umbrella Marketing, who, on occasion, can be seen in public with an inflatable giraffe. She is an award-winning entrepreneur, who is on a mission to help others to build million pound businesses. She helps other people to be more than they think they can be. Christina shares how she does this and provides some insights into how to grow on both a personal and work level. KEY TAKEAWAYS Purpose is doing the things that make you feel most alive. You naturally do these things with greater intent. Not being authentic does not serve you or others. To stay enthusiastic and energetic, you need to be in touch with what your purpose is. Most of the time you can conquer anxiety, by stepping back, settling, and focusing on your breathing. Don't work with people you don't like and choose projects that align with your values. When your intention is to help people, that drives everything else. Look back to the points in your life when you thought, “I love my life”, as a way of helping you understand what matters to you. Some of the best things happen when you find yourself in a place of uncertainty. BEST MOMENTS‘What is it that you would love? – Make it happen.'‘Somebody can't be 100% every friggin 'day.'‘If you've got crappy energy, guess what crappy stuff happens.' ‘There's always going to be someone out there that will buy.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Anyone who starts a business always wishes they had started sooner. There's always something to stall you. Find someone with an established and successful business and learn as much as you can from them before building your own business. Get all the knowledge you can but start now and perfect things as you go. A house is an asset but it's not always the best investment Jordan Peterson has leveraged his notoriety and specialist knowledge to make revenue, it's very entrepreneurial. Money isn't a moral dilemma; you can make money and do good with it. You can be valuable to society whilst making money. Everyone wants easy money so as soon as people realise you have it, they want it from you.

BEST MOMENTS “What he learnt working in these businesses helped him” “Start now, get perfect later” “You can learn from your failures but it's better to learn from others” “The first generation, the greatest gift was not the money but learning how to make the money, learning the skills and strategies to build fundamental and intergenerational wealth” 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.

Kian is the CEO and founder of a groundbreaking platform with AI skills assessment, Workera. Kian is also a lecturer and has created some of the most popular courses on AI and machine learning with over 3k views per video! Kian joins Ryan to talk about how AI intersects with learning and development and its role in helping workforce transformation; from employee skillset management to mentorship. KEY TAKEAWAYS Workera's key method for customer acquisition has mostly been via outbound sales Workera provides an open platform that helps companies understand their employee's talents, measuring skills and then use that skill data to empower them to make decisions; on everything from up-skilling and recruitment to project management Kian and his team knew they needed investment to begin and sustain Workera, because of how quickly they wanted to get things moving but also because of the tech-heavy side of the business. The gap many students are finding is not in content and information to learn but actually mentorship but this is difficult to scale, this is the first problem Workera wanted to solve and did so using AI and utilising existing psychometrics. Employee assessments, using psychometrics, are often a stressful task with poor UI. Workera have reinvented the testing, creating a much better user experience that is empowering and mentor-like with a feedback loop rather than just selection-based. A recommendation system will only work as well as the data it is given. You need good data that is rich and meaningful. Workera allows companies to utilise their employee's time by assigning the right tasks for their skills and putting them on the training they actually need. Benchmarks are helpful to employers but also the individuals, so they can learn what to focus on and what opportunities are there for them specifically. Identifying the ideal customer profile and providing value and thought leadership aimed at that profile is one of the main things Workera focused on to scale and gain market share. You don't train a tech person in the same way you would a non-technical person. You need to think about whether your employee is a builder or a consumer as well as what existing skills they already possess. Many individuals already have the right skill set for AI, they might even be better at some aspects of machine learning than people who have solely trained in it! BEST MOMENTS “What we want to achieve requires investment especially if we want to do it as fast as planned” “Everyone should have access to a mentor that can help them in their next stage” “We had to change the mindset of assessments, reinvent” “The recommender system will be as good as the skills data that fuels it” “Skills building becomes highly focused and intentional” Do You Want The Closing Secrets That Helped Close Over $125 Million in New Business for Free?"  Grab them HERE: https://www.whalesellingsystem.com/closingsecrets Ryan Staley Founder and CEO Whale Boss 312-848-7443 ryan@whalesellingsystem.com www.ryanstaley.io  EPISODE RESOURCES ABOUT THE SHOW How do you grow like a VC-backed company without taking on investors?

In this episode, Kenneth sits down with Matt Saperstone from Nilaa Coffee to talk about coffee to water brew ratios. They explain what brew ratios are, why they are so important, and how to get them right. During the episode, they share the best coffee to water ratios for drip, espresso, AeroPress, ristretto, lungo, and several other popular styles of coffee. Matt also explains what Nilaa Coffee is all about. Sharing why they are focused on serving coffee produced by farms working in under-represented markets like Myanmar. KEY TAKEAWAYS  In simple terms, the brew ratio is the amount of coffee you add to a certain amount of water. Coffee pros measure both the beans or grinds and water by weight. If you don´t get your brew ratios right, even the most perfectly grown, harvested and roasted beans can taste bad. The ratios you need vary depending on what type of coffee you are making e.g., Lungo is best at a ratio of 1:3 to 1:4. During the episode, they share the brew ratios for many other types of coffee. The more concentrated everything is, the more accentuated the flavor, body, acidity, etc. becomes. BEST MOMENTS ‘What are you talking about? You want me to weigh my coffee?  And I always say, 'yes, it´s one of the most important things you can do'.' ‘For an AeroPress at home, I personally like [the brew ratio] to be about one to six.' ‘We recommend certain brew methods based on how the coffee roasts.'

Join Thom, Kane and Ash for a discussion about production, including the different ways you can manage production and which may suit you and your podcast the most. KEY TAKEAWAYS You can manage production yourself, hire someone in-house, hire a freelancer or hire an agency to manage it. Freelancers: You must be good at identifying talent as there are many choices, and you also have to spend time managing it, often you will need multiple people to manage different tasks. It can represent a lot of work and time for you. Agencies: They immediately overcome the downsides to freelancers, but they come at a higher cost. Inhouse: They cost more than freelancers, but you have to manage them too. however, the upside is you have the ultimate control over their work. DIY: Perfect if your alternative is not doing it at all. But you only have so many hours in the day and you will be spending your time on non-income-generating tasks that you may not even be particularly good at. Freelancers aren't that accountable to you, which means they won't always be reliable.

On this episode of Build Better Brands, Danielle Clarke is joined by Mike Villiers-Stuart, course director at Birmingham City University. He has worked in the creative industry for over 30 years running digital marketing and creative teams for global brands, including the BBC and ITV.KEY TAKEAWAYSFamiliarity is really, really important for brands. If I had to refine it down to one other word it would be ownership. Those are two very powerful words, and that kind of sums it all up really. Literally branding is ownership, right from branding cattle so it couldn't be stolen. Fundamental mark making is super important, like the red tab on the back of your Levi's 501s.When you're looking after a brand, or starting one from scratch, it's important to know where it's come from. You've got to know what your product is and what its purpose is. Is there something special in the market or are you competing with lots of other brands? When you identify these things, you start to locate your brand amongst other brands where people are looking. You've got to position yourself in that competing market, so you have to find something to mark yourself out with which sets you apart as different.After you've found the core of your brand, you then need to ask who's interested in it? Who's going to buy it? Who's going to invest in your brand and believe you? Once you've identified your target market, you'll have a pretty good idea of who you're trying to reach and convert. Now you've got a brand and an audience that you understand and the next trick is to find the shared values between the two – what have I got that they want – and in the middle is the zone where you're doing it right.Designers say you're taking away the creativity when you say you want to protect the integrity of a shape/logo. But, it's not. Your job is to find ways to creatively articulate that message. It's about preserving the integrity of the shape and being creative around it. So, again, you need to understand the product, the market and how the product differentiates itself from other products in the market, that's where you find the creativity and make the difference.BEST MOMENTS‘What's the secret ingredient that you've got that makes you stand out? That secret ingredient is frequently called your “unique sales proposition”. Once you've identified it, that's the very core of your brand.'‘Emotionally charged moments between a customer and a product make superb pieces of content for marketing campaigns because it celebrates the values of the brand at the very core of the brand and it celebrates what's important to the user at the heart of their own experience.'‘The iconic shape of the 2 for BBC 2 and you own that as a brand guardian, it's a beautiful thing to work with. I work with that shape to protect the integrity of that shape.'‘You don't need to put badges on it, you don't need to put wheels on it, you don't need to turn it into anything that it isn't, just go with the integrity of the shape (logo) because that's what people recognise and buy in to, that's the shorthand that everybody recognises without even having to read it, they see it and they know what it means.'ABOUT THE GUESTMike Villiers-Stuart: I'm a university lecturer in the Birmingham Institute of Creative Arts where I work with talented colleagues in teaching bright, hard-working students of design, advertising and digital marketing communications.This follows 30 years in broadcasting where I worked with gifted and fun teams of professional creatives at the BBC, ITV, Al Jazeera and many more international TV, media and advertising agencies around the world to deliver fab briefs, get results and win awards.Now I'm standing on the shoulders of giants and sharing the view... with inspirational colleagues and students at Birmingham City University.Email: mikev-s@virginmedia.com PODCAST DESCRIPTIONThe Build Better Brands podcast is to inspire small business owners and help them realise that they don't have to be Nike to have a great brand, and the sooner they start to focus on making it better, the sooner they can improve their lives and the lives of others.On the show I'll be talking to business owners that have built brands from the ground up.

In this episode, Neil is going to take a look at your blind spots in business. These are all the things you constantly miss, action incorrectly or are unaware of. The only problem is, you cannot see your blind spots so your only option is to call for an extra pair of eyes! KEY TAKEAWAYS Usually, our blind spots are completely obvious to the people around us.  The outsiders' view is vital. If you are not as influential, successful, healthy and wealthy as you want to be, you have to admit you don't know everything. Put together a group of people, preferably with knowledge of you and your business, to take a look at what you do and how you operate to see if those extra eyes spot anything you have been missing. BEST MOMENTS ‘What are your blind spots? Well, chances are you don't know, because you're blind to them! The clues in the name.'   ‘Ask them the vital question, what am I missing? Ask them for their opinions. Don't ask them for feedback as that can get a bit cringey in my opinion.'  ‘My imaginary fiends gave me answers that were every bit as useful to me as real world counsellors.'  VALUABLE RESOURCES The Tutor Podcast  www.Neilcowmeadow.com ABOUT THE HOST Neil Cowmeadow is a maverick peripatetic guitar teacher from Telford with over 19 years' experience in the business of helping people.

Today's topic is going to be about financial planning, and our guest today is John Stoj, whose career in finance began on Wall Street nearly 25 years ago. He learned that the financial services industry is full of people interested in taking advantage of their clients. He watched the financial industry meltdown in 2008 and came to realization that working for the best interest of his customers is worth every penny of his fees. KEY TAKEAWAYS After it became apparent to John that the Wall Street that he knew and loved wasn't as lovable as he first thought, he just wanted to do a complete 180 and decided to open a food business. His business was in food manufacturing because he knew the high failure rate of restaurants. He might still be doing this today if it wasn't for the birth of his son meaning he had to ditch the late nights working. One of the most important things when building a business and eventually preparing to sell it is keeping a book of business that exists even after you walk out the door. It's the paperwork and the proof of cash flow, showing your contracts and clients, proving to buyers that you are worth buying. The second thing that John has learned and would recommend to you is to document everything. Make everything a process and record those processes. That way anyone can continue to use those processes to create the same quality output. BEST MOMENTS ‘What's the instruction book to run the company? And so if you provide that to them, they're going to be a heck of a lot more comfortable' ‘It's not just financial documentation that should be complete, but also the systems documentation for your business processes' ‘There's always pressures on your price' EPISODE RESOURCES John Stoj VALUABLE RESOURCES Subscribe to the podcast and send a screenshot to info@infhorizons.com to be in with the chance of winning some gifts and prizes Infinite Horizons Free Webinar 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. ABOUT THE GUEST John Stoj's career in finance began on Wall Street nearly 25 years ago and traveled from banks to money management to a hedge fund before landing at a sushi kitchen. This experience taught him that the financial services industry is full of people interested in taking advantage of their clients first and foremost. After stepping away from business to raise a child, he watched the financial industry meltdown in 2008 and came to a realization; that a financial advisory working for the best interests of its customers would be worth every penny of its fees.  PODCAST DESCRIPTION Hosted by Nana Bonsu of Infinite Horizons, this show aims to serve small business owners who want to grow their businesses while reducing their own personal involvement. We do this through a combination of interviews with industry leaders, and host presentations. We are certified value builder advisors and leverage a statistically proven methodology to help clients such as you scale or transition their business to the next...

Host Helen Lee speaks with Maxim Dondyuk, photographer and visual artist, and his wife Irena Dondyuk, his Artistic Manager. 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 having recently won the W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography, being 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.' Helen, Irena and Maxim talk about the conflict, the history of Russia and Ukraine's relationship, the nature of Russia's people, Russian propaganda and control and Ukraine's spirited and crucial response to centuries of Russian aggression.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   We need to raise our level of consciousness to be much more mindful of how we treat each other including all human beings and all that lives and breathes. The conflict in Ukraine affects not only those directly involved, but everyone worldwide, as we are all connected and also in terms of the rising cost of food, oil and everything else, as inflation rises globally and some countries such as Sri Lanka are hit badly. Maxim has a spiritual teacher, a Buddhist monk in Thailand who teaches him Vipassana meditation, the technique of seeing things as they truly are. Irena uses yoga, and although not currently practising because of the war, both are considerably centred and calm in the midst of the war and the unimaginable stresses of their occupation. Their work is divided between Maxim, who creates the projects and provides the content and Irena who deals with distribution and communicating his work to the world. Maxim's work often leaves him with only two to three hours a day to even sleep, so the work of communicating is not only logistically difficult, but also impossible to complete with the time available.  The Ukrainian army's strength and technology have angered Russia and increased their aggression in the conflict. Maxim feels the people of Russia despise Ukraine and this is not a war to gather resources or land, but to destroy and suppress Ukraine's individual culture.  Years of Russian propaganda and the assumption that Ukrainian Crimean territory is theirs mean Maxim and Irena feel that most of the Russian people are in support of the war despite the looming threat of conscription. Only those that perceive Putin's lies are against the war and they are very small in number. To them, Russian history is manipulated and shaped only to support Russian ideology so the people of Russia are fully behind the war. Information is rigidly controlled. During their three-year stay in Asia, Irena and Maxim found cultures that are much more in harmony with nature and connection with everything that exists in the world.    When we know who we really are, beyond the mere human personality, including the soul and spirit or pure consciousness that we all are, we would not only gain for ourselves the freedom that we are meant to have but will share this freedom with all living things as well.  Unity seems to be the key to dealing with the effects of this war as well as the war itself, but are human beings spiritual mature enough and ready to think "unity consciousness" and pull together? By abandoning our scarcity consciousness which makes us compete and war for resources, and loving freely by loving ourselves unconditionally and loving all living things as well, we can move away from war and deal with and prevent problems like pandemics and economic downturns together, in unison and harmony.    BEST MOMENTS ‘What is happening in the Ukraine is relevant not only for Ukrainians but for all of humanity and the whole world. All living things are connected and what happens to some people affects everyone else in some way or other.' – Helen ‘From time to time we have some difficulties, of course, during the work but in general, we just try to support each other in every step, whether Maxim needs my help or whether I need his help.' – Irena ‘It's like some angry man who tried to do something and somebody beat him. They're angry, but they cannot do anything in the frontline. They try but it's not possible because now, the Ukrainian army is stronger and stronger.' – Maxim ‘If now we just make some peace, after a decade they again start this war. They do it all the time. So, Russia is a huge country but it is weak because of big corruption and with their army, maybe not so professional.' – Maxim ‘They (Russians) are really happy about this war and they think that Ukraine as a country never existed and we are part of their country and we need to give back. They believe the things that the Russian propaganda says on TV and so on.' – Irena ‘For me, I am on the side of humanity rather than a nation. But, if one nation is committing these things, then it is against humanity and it needs to be corrected, basically, because we are moving towards a time when there has to be freedom and justice and equality for all, not only all human beings but even all living things.' – Helen ‘This is what we can see with the story of Chernobyl. It's 25 years have passed since the explosion and when you come to Chernobyl now, you can see a lot of  animals, a lot of birds, and thriving plants. But people still can't live there....we need to find a way to change our behaviour.' – Irena 'I'm sure this situation (war in Ukraine) ends immediately in one day, something happens and the next day, the war is finished.' – Maxim 'For us, we cannot go to another country. We don't have a choice. Even if we stop this war, my hometown is occupied, my house has been destroyed, my parents are homeless, and we decide to resist how long we can resist.' – Maxim "For us, we need to liberate (ourselves). They (Russians) occupy 20% of our area (country) for the second time. If now we just sign some peace, we know after five or ten years, they will try to occupy more area.' – Maxim ‘Together, they (Maxim and Irina) are raising the awareness of what is actually taking place in their country through Maxim's photographs and visual art.  And as the late Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh put it, “Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed."'  – Helen ‘I often talk about how we are all interconnected. For many, the pandemic has certainly proved that and now this war as well. So we need to be aware of what's going on and how it's impacting all of us as well as the role we can play in co-creating a totally different world from a much higher level of consciousness.' – Helen ‘If we can transform a ‘what's in it for me?' attitude to a ‘how can I help?' mindset, and change an exploitative perspective to one that is kind and generous because we have an abundance mentality and know that we always have more than enough...' – Helen    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.

No one actually cares about how hard you work, this isn't what your pay is based on, all they care about is simply the end result. Listen in to understand what three top line ways you can work, to make big and real money. KEY TAKEAWAYS  If your pay was based on your hard work, then you would be paid to according to how hard you work. This isn't true, demonstrated by how little labourers are paid. You are paid for production, value and service. People care about what they get, not what you do. You want to find the fair exchange sweet spot. Where your client gets value and you make profit. When you work hard on the low value tasks, you actively procrastinate on doing the meaningful tasks. You need to focus on the meaningful not the menial. Service is how you make your customer and clients feel. You can overdeliver on service when you can't compete as well on value and production. BEST MOMENTS “What you're gonna get here is overarching, overriding principles”  “I'm not saying it's fair. You don't get what's fair, you get paid for what you negotiate” “I like to hire lazy people because lazy people find the easiest and quickest way to do something” 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.
