He was once perhaps the most influential lobbyist in the country. Prime ministers, premiers, and more than a thousand chief executives listened attentively to his advice. In fact, at one point, someone referred to him as the ,de facto prime minister of the country,, and it wasn't meant as a compliment.

On this episode of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by David Taylor and Clair Carpenter, the co-authors of the book ‘BLISS: How to Be Truly Happy For the Rest of Your Life', to talk about happiness. David and Clair come at the world from very different points of view, David sees it through the lens of possibility, potential and purpose, Clair sees it through the rigour of science and robust research. But, both are looking for what we should be focussing on to find happiness.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It's time to put aside people's differences on psychology and psychiatry and focus on find out what works for individual people. The biggest parallel virus to Covid is mental health and we're absolutely dedicated to getting people to living the rest of their lives pretty happy. Western schooling systems are all set up to test you against a completely fictional thing that you're meant to have achieved and then you're made to focus on the bits you're not so good at. This entire way that our society is engendered and hard wired impacts the way individuals see things, and it filters into science and psychiatry. There's nothing ‘wrong' with individuals you're trying to ‘fix', it's all about playing to their strengths. We judge things from our experience, education and imagination and because we don't immediately remember everything that's happened in our lives, imagination plays a big part, and if there's a 50/50 leaning on something we tend to lean to the negativity for the protection of ourselves. It's very difficult to switch it the other way, but Clair has given a working EMBR (event, meaning, behaviour, reaction) model that gives a level playing field for real life, real people in real life situations that they can apply a gap of infinite possibility: is this definition you're giving going to help you and other people, or is it not? When we feel in the thick of a very powerful emotion, sometimes we become that emotion, rather than feel it, acknowledge it, put it to one side and take a step back and time to breathe. What if it didn't have this meaning? What if I could interpret id differently? What if I stepped into somebody else's shoes and saw this information from a different point of view? I thin those two things can really help recast and reattribute meaning. What we've all learned through lockdown is the magic of human connection, and we've all been missing that. It's enabled me to get to a point where I really value that rather than take it for granted. Rather than looking back over the last 18 months and thing “haven't I missed a lot?”, I'm coming forward from today and thinking “I've really gained a lot”. The mind is everything, what you think you do become.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Psychology is a lot of the answer that we can make life extremely happy and blissful.' ‘No event has any meaning other than the meaning you choose to give it.' ‘One of the most powerful questions we can ask ourselves if “what if?” Go and make a cup of tea.' ‘If you address the happiness of those who need help first, that's when other things happen, especially in corporate environments.' ‘We achieve success every single day, if people recorded their successes from the moment the woke up, you'd get into an abundance mindset. Celebrate everything you do.'   VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind PodcastTo get 20% off at Knowable, go to www.knowable.fyi and enter the code GAVIN Get your copy of Survive And Thrive NOW at https://www.surviveandthrive.cc Keep Your Boat Afloat – https://survivetothrive.biz/keep-afloat gavin@gavinpreston.com    GUEST RESOURCES Clair Carpenter is the founder of The Naked Psychologist, and main psychology adviser to Naked Leader, stripping away the hype, jargon and mystery from behavioural science.

The UK's economy shrank by 20.4% in April - the largest monthly contraction on record - as the country spent its first full month in lockdown. The Office for National Statistics said the "historic" fall affected virtually all areas of activity. The contraction is three times greater than the decline seen during the whole of the 2008 to 2009 economic downturn. Nick Robinson spoke to a panel of former Government advisers about the way forward for the UK economy. They were Sir John Timpson, chairman of the shoe repair chain, who led the Government's High Streets Expert Panel, Bridget Rosewell, an economist who chaired an independent review into Planning Appeal Inquiries and Stephen Kelly, Chairman of Tech Nation, formerly the Prime Minister’s Business Ambassador for technology.

I couldn’t be more excited to introduce you to Sam Dubs of Bluetek IT Solutions for today’s business highlight video. Let’s check out what they have to offer! I’ve worked with Sam Dubs for about 15 years, since around the time my company was just starting, and I’m so excited to introduce you to him and highlight what his company, Bluetek IT Solutions, is all about. Bluetek provides IT services to small businesses, and their goal is to eliminate your technology headaches and increase your business’ profitability.  As a business leader, there are things that keep me up at night if I’m feeling vulnerable. It’s lonely sometimes, especially if you don’t have anyone to turn to for some of your business problems. I asked Sam about some of the challenges that he loses sleep over, as a business owner himself. When Sam started consulting for local businesses, he was just an IT geek with a business. As his company grew, he found he couldn’t do it all anymore, and he had to hire technicians to replace him. The problem was that his clients hired him and wanted him to help, so his toughest challenge was finding technicians who could fill his shoes and earn the trust of his clients. As a real estate agent, I can relate to Sam’s challenges there. I then asked him what he’s most excited for in the years to come. “Reach out to Sam and his team for a free business technology assessment.” Sam is really excited about Bluetek’s all-inclusive IT package. With this package, they’ll come to your business and provide all of your IT support, including security and everything you need to keep your business running smoothly for one monthly price that’s easy to budget. We also spoke with a couple of Sam’s employees, Craig and Jake, who do a little bit of everything, from taking inbound calls to going on-site to help people solve their IT problems, which Craig and Jake say are their favorite parts of the job. As I said, I’ve been working with Bluetek for around 15 years, and our business wouldn’t be what it is now without the help of Sam and his team. If you’re a business owner or you know a business owner, reach out to Sam and his team at (717) 502-2144 for a free business technology assessment—and tell them Dave Hooke sent you! They’ll look at all of your tech needs, including data, storage, software, and more to give you a comprehensive evaluation and show you where you can develop efficiency in your business that will go straight to your bottom line and allow you to concentrate on doing what you do best: serving your clients. If you have any questions for me, don’t hesitate to reach out to the Dave Hook Team. We’d be glad to take care of you.

Being half Greek, half Swiss, Konstantina lived in various countries, got a BA in Film Studies & French and ultimately taught  kindergarten.  It’s there where she witnessed children indulging in their dreams and acting in all their magnificence.  What she realizes now is that a coach does exactly what kids do naturally. They inspire you, they speak their truth, challange you and love unconditionally.  Konstantina is passionate about assisting her clients to see their own magnificence and potential! She strongly believes that we all have a unique individual system like no other and it’s our birth right to go beyond our wildest expectations and explore and expand on it!! In 1928 her grandfather established their family Business, now in it’s fifth generation.  His commitment, ability to create something from nothing, and build on opportunities, has always inspired her to do the same. After she attended a Harvard course, introducing her to Family Business concepts in 2007, Konstantina participated in several international Family Business forums. The impact her grandfather’s journey, as well as this course, had on her was profound and led her to pursuing a career in coaching. Her vision is to spread the principles of Family Business Coaching and make CTI’s Co-Active® Model accessible to more people. At the heart of this is an intention to take Co-Active® coaching into schools and organizations so that it can empower future generations to speak their truth and come together in new collaborative ways.  

Each week I invite one of my speakers to talk about their life, work, passions and leisure so that you can get to know the person who is the speaker behind the mic. This week is a really special edition of the Speaking Business podcast. This is special because it is not very often that you get a guru of this stature to be a guest.  This is why we are going out today on a Monday when normally we wouldn’t because he has been available only this morning.  My guest says of himself ‘I am a succeedor in a long line of succeedors, Julius Casear, Abraham Lincoln, Tim Henman and Phil Collins all undoubtedly used my methods.  L. Vaughan Spencer or L.Vo as he is known to the hip, is a self-help guru and gangster motivator.  No longer will you be a success-a-phobe. 2004 business speaker of the year for Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire L.Vo always came top in the northern hemisphere motivator of the year under 40 middle weight section.  Although not long ago he had just 19p to his same.  As he says ‘somehow only when you are in the gutter, you can only see where the pavement ends’.  He turned his life around, so can you.  In his book ‘Don’t be needy, be succeedy’, the president of the Republic of Success, explains the alphabet diet, how to rethink your buzness card, how business can become buzness and how to embrace the new virility whether you are identifying as a man or a woman.  Ladies and gentleman, you will be astounded by the brains and wisdom of this incredible person, please enjoy this podcast Bio L.Vaughan Spencer has recently returned to his native Britain after a lengthy sojourn in Canada where he has built a huge following and massive reputation as a personal growth guru. L. Vaughan Spencer was named the 2004 Business Speaker of the Year for Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and came 12th in the Northern Hemisphere Motivator of the Year (Under-40 Middleweight Section). He is Business Ambassador for the South East England Tree Fellowship, editor-at-large of Success & Succeediness and is the Kall-Kwik Visiting Professor of Succeedership at the University of the Isle of Wight. He is a member of the Board of Governors of Skybrook Primary School in Stevenage. He is the chief executive of the L. Vaughan Spencer Foundation, a not-for-much-profit organisation dedicated to its betterment and of Succeeder Solutions who provide "bespoke solutions to tricky problems". He is Chair of the Succeeder Institute, a think-tank on important things which is trying to advise the government. He is considered one of the world’s leading trendologists. Having looked at Generation X, then Generation Y, he is firmly focused on the prospects for Generation Z. What comes after that remains unclear. He is a global force and helped organise the famous Motiv-8 Event in July 2005, held near Wembley, and at locations across the world and Hertfordshire. Leading lights in the personal growth industry attended and so did someone from the European Union. In 2006, he was appointed a Senior Fellow at the Advanced Seminar on Succeederology (ASS). It is now offering a new course, The Two-Minute MBA. As one of the UK’s leading thinkers (he has been acknowledged as one of the top ten thousand influential people on management issues in the Home Counties), he does a lot of thinking, often about Leadership, and is in demand internationally as an inspiring speaker, renowned for his passion and dress sense. His insightful and skilful story-telling mean he can make the Big Picture seem even bigger. He sits on the European Cheese Council, and plays tennis. L. Vaughan Spencer was recently awarded the Gold Star Lifetime Achievement Award by the Personal Development Association of Newfoundland for his services to humanity and sales of his videos. He has been married and lives not from far from London Luton Airport. L. Vaughan Spencer's mantra is that if you don't aim the arrow right, it will never land where you want it. And you must pull the bow back.
