According to Simon Platt, every one of us, regardless of our age, job, title or background, has it within us to inspire others – even if we don't always realise it. Simon lived in the same village as Sir Captain Tom Moore, and observed close at hand how a simple idea lifted the nation's spirits in lockdown and raised £39 million for NHS charities. In this uplifting BA Brew, Simon talks to the Crew about the skills, traits and beliefs that can help us inspire ourselves and others in the BA community and beyond. The Brew crew are also joined by Simon's colleague Charlotte Neill who is running a workshop with Simon at the IRMUK BA Conference 2025. They are hoping that by BA's sharing their stories in the workshop, others might see themselves in them or realise they've been inspiring people all along without even knowing it. Topics touched upon include: What comes first, motivation or inspirationPractical steps to inspire yourself and othersThe lasting impact of role modelling and ‘paying forwardTangible actions we can all take in our day to day lives. Simon Platt is Principal Business Analyst at Whitbread, a Neuroinclusivity Advocate, public speaker and podcast host.

Beau Williams Talks About One year with My Soulmate Our Seek Reality guest is Beau Williams, who knows how to begin his book with a bang! Beau was half of a lovely couple, and as One Year with My Soulmate begins, he tragically discovers that his beautiful young beloved, Melanie, has just shot herself in the chest with his shotgun. Oh my god! But fortunately, Beau's engaging book gets much better from there! Beau was born in Palo Alto, California, where he was a four-sports athlete in high school. He took a postgraduate year at Phillips Andover Academy in Massachusetts, where he first discovered his passion for acting and playwriting. He went on to attend the University of Colorado, where he played tight end, won a Big 12 Championship, and earned a degree in Communication. It was there that he took his first screenwriting course, and he began to write screenplays. Beau moved to Los Angeles in 2004 and became a writer and event producer, with experience in both film and live entertainment. In 2009, he founded Martin Entertainment Group, or (MEG), which has hosted thousands of events across Los Angeles's beach communities. He wrote, produced, and starred in the feature film Americons, released in 2015, and later he licensed the rights to Bestival, producing Bestival Bali in Indonesia in 2017. Beau's debut memoir is One Year with My Soulmate, which is the first book in his Sunflower Signals series. This book chronicles the transformative love story between Beau and his late partner, Melanie. It's a journey through intimacy, grief, spiritual awakening, and post-loss reconnection. This book was written across four countries—Indonesia, the United States, Spain, and Northern Ireland—and guided by signs, synchronicities, and a deep commitment on Beau's part to honouring Melanie's life that was cut so short. In October of 2025, Beau will launch a new event in Bali that was inspired by Melanie, called The Butterfly Effect—a healing experience that incorporates the same breathwork, movement, writing, and spiritual practices that he used to help himself to recover from her loss. Beau's website is http://sunflowersignals.com. Learn more about Roberta here: http://robertagrimes.com https://seekreality.com

In this conversation, the speakers explore the humorous aspects of parenting, particularly focusing on the language and behaviors of children. They discuss the evolution of language among kids, the pressure to conform to social expectations, and the influence of social media on their perceptions. The conversation also touches on the challenges of instilling confidence in children, especially in sports, and the quirks of childhood behavior that often lead to misunderstandings and laughter. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various themes surrounding childhood diagnoses, parenting styles, the impact of AI on scams, and humorous reflections on historical moments. They discuss the evolving perceptions of autism and ADHD, the importance of discipline in parenting, and the rise of AI-related scams. The conversation takes a playful turn as they explore the idea of scamming the scammers and reflect on significant historical events they wish they could witness. The discussion wraps up with a light-hearted take on time travel and the potential to change history. In this conversation, the speakers explore the impact of choices on life paths, the reimagining of historical events, and the implications of the butterfly effect. They discuss hypothetical scenarios in history, the consequences of wealth and power, and the changing value of money. The conversation also touches on the risks associated with sudden wealth and the legacy of wealth and its influence on future generations. In this conversation, the speakers delve into various conspiracy theories, focusing on the Rothschild family and their alleged influence over global affairs. They discuss the implications of wealth and power, the controversies surrounding the moon landing, and speculations about alien life and technology. The conversation also touches on the potential political shifts in Canada and the broader implications of these theories on society. Takeaways: Humor often stems from overdoing a joke to the point of absurdity. Children's language evolves rapidly, influenced by trends and social media. Confidence in children can be fragile, especially in competitive environments. Miscommunication can lead to humorous situations, especially with kids. Parents often find themselves correcting their children's misconceptions. The pressure to conform can lead to kids adopting silly behaviors. Social media plays a significant role in shaping children's beliefs and language. Children often misinterpret facts, leading to humorous misunderstandings. Instilling confidence in kids requires patience and understanding. Childhood behavior can be quirky and often reflects their innocence. Autism is increasingly diagnosed in children, similar to ADHD.

In this week's episode, we recap our spontaneous day trip to Washington DC and all the unexpected chaos that came with it. We dive into the bizarre story of hundreds of redheads gathering in the Netherlands for a Ginger-only celebration, and we can't stop thinking about the woman who discovered a snake in her margarita... yes, really.We contemplate using a shrink ray to ride around in a Matchbox car like it's Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. Then we get a little philosophical discussing the Butterfly Effect and how tiny choices can lead to wild outcomes.Want BONUS CONTENT?
