Podcast appearances and mentions of jim lawless

If you're wondering why this episode is called thank you and good night it is because it is the final episode.I've had an absolute fantastic time. I've met some incredible people hosting this podcast since it first started in August 2019 not just as guests but as listeners and also at all the runs I've taken part in. It was only meant to help me complete the Classic Quarter which I did in May 2021 so it should've finished over 3 1/2 years ago .But here we are at episode number 173 and of course it was almost by sheer chance that this whole journey started.Back in February 2019 I was invited to speak at a business conference. The headline speaker was a guy called Jim Lawless who talked about a concept he had created called TamingTigers which essentially was about setting yourself challenges way beyond your comfort zone.Whilst listening to Jim, I was conscious that I was just over two years away from a landmark birthday for which I had been thinking about running a third career marathon, the previous two being in 2005 and 2010. Listening to Jim I realised that wasn't a Taming Tigers enough challenge.For some reason the name Classic Quarter popped up into my head and I looked it up over lunchtime to discover that it was a coastal path run from Lizard Point, which is relatively close to where I was living when my children were growing up, to Lands End. Undoubtedly the Taming Tigers bit was discovering it was 44 miles!I started calling the challenge 44 at 60 and as I already had a business podcast I decided that the best way to learn how to take on this challenge was to start a podcast so I could record all the great advice I knew I would be given.The first episode which was basically an introduction episode went live in August 2019, with episode two being my first ever coastal path race -  the White Rat. My first guest was the fabulous Andy Goundry who told me ultrarunning was an eating competition not a running competition and to make sure that I walked up all the hills in the race, but to run up all of them in training and keep smiling! Without doubt this podcast was a massive factor in achieving my goal of finishing the Classic Quarter and along the way raising over £7000 for the children's hospice Southwest and postrace writing the book 12 business lessons from running an ultra marathon.So many fantastic guests, so many great running adventures and so many great running community friends. I feel very privileged to have been able to do this. Thank you everyone - it's been a blast! Send us a textThe Running 44@60 podcast began as a learning / motivational tool for host Trevor Lee in his quest to run a first ever ultra - the Classic Quarter in 2021 - here's the story of Running 44@60 The first episode was broadcast in August 2019. The final episode - number 173 - went out on January 31st 2025.Trevor wrote a book on the back of the Classic Quarter: 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon - all proceeds go to the Children's Hospice South West

Jordan is off dealing with a health issue (good vibes, please!), so it's Jim Lawless and guest host Jim McKinney for this episode. They talk about the coaching change on Stadium Drive, Bronco hockey and soccer... oh yeah, soccer... McKinney is our resident World Cup resident, so they delve into that.

In this episode of #TheSpeakerShow, Maria Franzoni interviews Jim Lawless. Record breaking freediver and voted #1 Motivational Speaker outside of the US in the 2021 Global Guru rankings, Jim Lawless has inspired over a million people on five continents through his presentations and playbook for change ‘Taming Tigers'. As CEO of transformation architects Symmetry, my guest and his team have been instrumental in the adaptations of international organisations, fast-growth companies and Olympic Teams.  Author of the international best seller ‘Taming Tigers', he became a televised jockey (and lost 25% of his bodyweight) within 12 months of sitting on a horse. He also became the deepest free diver in British history within 8 months.  Both of these ‘impossible' adaptations were experiments to test and validate the playbook he shares. Both were done alongside his day job - as most transformations are. Outside of his work as well as being a Dad, he is a helicopter pilot, kundalini yoga practitioner, free diver and classical pianist. In this fascinating episode, we discuss: Is Resilience Redundant?

On this week’s episode of ScaleUp Radio we hear from Ben King from Bold Type.   Bold Type are a marketing, brand and design agency that’s still relatively young - at the time of recording they have only been in operation for 18 months - but they are already having a big impact within the industry.   One of the words that comes up again and again in Ben’s vocabulary, is ‘commitment’. As you’ll hear, it’s not just how he approaches all aspects of running the company - but it’s also what he looks for in those people that he chooses to work with.   This is a fascinating conversation that I know you’ll be able to take something from. We covered quite a bit of ground, including:    - Allow the whole team to be involved in as many aspects of the business as you can  - The process of not just thinking about the next stage of the scale up journey - but spend time thinking of the stage you’re at now; the values and culture too.  - Why you should always recruit for attitude, not for skills  - The benefits of sharing the responsibility of the future of the company throughout the workforce.   One of the great things that I took from this conversation, is just how Ben thinks of his staff. It’s by no means unique - but it’s incredibly refreshing and I’d love to know what you think.   I know you’re going to enjoy this episode.     Ben can be found here: linkedin.com/in/bendesigner https://boldtype.agency/ hello@boldtype.agency     Taming Tigers by Jim Lawless - https://www.waterstones.com/book/taming-tigers/jim-lawless/9780956081506   The ScaleUp Challenge We'd really appreciate your help...

When you have spent your entire life with dogs, eventually something gives. Jim Lawless wanted to find out what his best dogs could do. He put his best dogs together and... well listen up and find out what he has come up with!!!  

On this episode I interview Jim Lawless; motivational speaker, author of the book Taming Tigers and living proof of why we all need to act boldly as time is limited. As a result of an unfulfilled job as a corporate lawyer and unsure about what the future looked like, Jim decided to act boldly and left the city to explore what would give him greater purpose in his life. Jim shares his story and how Taming Tigers came about. As a result of taking on a bet from one of the audience to ride a horse in a televised race, Jim embarked on training to become a Jockey. First of all it's worth pointing out that Jim had never been on a horse before in his life. People laughed of course and some of the videos of Jim (learning to ride) are hilarious. Taming Tigers is centred on Ten rules; 1.Act boldly today - time is limited 2.Re-write your rule book - challenge it hourly 3.Head in the direction of where you want to arrive, every day 4.It's all in the mind 5.The tools for Taming Tigers are all around you 6.There is no safety in numbers 7.Do something scary everyday 8.Understand and control your time to create change 9.Create disciplines - do the basics brilliantly 10.Never, never give up! Furthermore in this episode, Jim shares some of the risks that he's taken and how he sometimes feels confidently lost (similar to Gavin Oattes on episode 14). He talks about his own vulnerability and turning up messy. Some final words of wisdom from Jim; "Enjoy it. We're not here forever. Don't get down about it; let's enjoy today."

Learning REWIRED's FLASH INSIGHTS is a short and sharp distillation of key takeways from our podcast series. In this episode, the highlights of our interview with Jim Lawless, author, speaker and adaptability expert: Why we need to let go of industrial era thinking before we can access sustainable adaptability The interplay between risk and organisational culture Adaptability Intelligence (AQ) and metacognition Meet our guest: https://www.headspringexecutive.com/podcasts/leadership-adaptability-skills/ (Jim Lawless)

20 years into the 21st century and it has become almost platitudinal to observe that what got us here in the past will not get us where we need to go in the future. By now, we all know that we are living through an age of unprecedented rates of change. We are all well versed in narratives about landscape shifts, industry disruptions, strategy redundancies. However, familiarity with the challenge does not necessarily equal a solution. What do we as individuals need to navigate these waters? What skills do leaders especially need to develop to keep their organisations relevant and successful in the 21st century? These are some of the questions we recently posed to Jim Lawless, author, speaker and adaptability expert. Meet our guest: https://www.headspringexecutive.com/podcasts/leadership-adaptability-skills/ (Jim Lawless)

If you don’t already know Jim Lawless, his expertise is elite human and team performance, transformation and wellbeing. For two decades, Jim has worked internationally with people who choose to - or have to - enter a period of rapid disruption where the outcome is not guaranteed. Performance under stress and in situations of uncertainty, risk, fear and anxiety is a key part of that work. And being able to access high quality rest and sleep is a vital skill - whether or not the day went well. The following mental skills for sleeping were developed during a disruptive time in Jim’s own life and then used to help him train for his UK freediving record. He has taught the skills to many high performers since that time. We hope you find them useful in getting a good night’s sleep. And, obviously, only listen to this when it is safe for you to sleep.

This is Taming Tigers, from Jim Lawless and Stuart Williams. You are writing the story of your life. What’s the next chapter you are going to write? http://jimlawless.com

Meet Jim Lawless, a leading authority on what he calls AQ: developing organizational AdaptAbility skills to deliver bold, fast change. Jim works with senior leaders to build cultures that can adapt and deliver. He has contributed to bold, fast change in global organizations, government, Olympic teams, and business schools for two decades. He has inspired and educated over half a million people on five continents through his mind-set shifting keynotes and even more through his bestselling book, Taming Tigers. What’s fascinating about Jim is that he tested and developed the AQ skills personally. He became a televised jockey within a year of starting to ride and became Britain’s deepest freediver after just eight months of training. Both done alongside his day job – a key element of AdaptAbility.   Episode Highlights In this interview, Jim and I discuss: His definition of the fear algorithm and the role it plays in organizational change The importance of creating a safe environment for people to embrace change How leaders inadvertently prevent their team members from moving away from the old patterns of behavior CEO’s and other leaders’ role in evolving a culture The importance of giving people the “permission” to change The reasons why behavioral changes need to be linked to the goals people care about The roots of resistance to change in our teams and the value of testing the data we have available The most effective ways of managing our self-limiting internal dialogue Making space on our calendars for change to take place

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. My guest this week is a pioneer in the fields of change and performance shift and the author of the bestseller “Taming Tigers”. He always tests his ideas on bold fast change on himself first. He adapted from an overweight non-rider to televised jockey in 12 months and from non-free diver to the first Briton past 101m in 8 months - both whilst doing the day job. He embraces the lessons of neuroscience in delivering adaptation and change - ideas he first experimented with in his deep diving.  He confesses that when he was at school all he ever wanted was a job, he was terrible at sport and is a huge fan of Luke Bisson. Bio Jim Lawless is one of the world’s leading motivational speakers and a pioneer in the fields of change and performance shift. He has inspired and empowered over half a million people on five continents. Jim’s message is that change involves risk and uncertainty. The human’s evolutionary Fear Algorithm is designed to keep us away from risk and uncertainty. The Fear Algorithm: has an operating speed 20x faster than that of our conscious goal-planning brain has a hotline connected to our bodies’ hormone system is populated with data to help us survive in the old, industrial workplace It is essential to understand and manage our innate Fear Algorithm and challenge the old data.  Otherwise, we will “resist“ and “fear” making the changes that we wish to create. Author of the bestselling ‘Taming Tigers’ (Random House), Jim has taught the skill of change in Global and Fortune 500 companies, Olympic and Paralympic teams, business schools and government for two decades. A strong believer in walking his talk, Jim Lawless tested his approach to bold, fast change by becoming a televised jockey in just 12 months. At the outset he was 36, unfit, overweight, couldn’t take time off work and couldn’t even ride. To test his ideas on managing the neuroscience and physiology of fear (and fundraise), he took the British free-diving record in just 8 months. He is now the first Briton to dive deeper than 100m on a single breath of air. Jim started his career as a City solicitor. After a decade of lawyering with the name “Lawless” he had perfected the trademark wit and humour he brings to the stage. Over the past two decades, Jim Lawless has evolved to be one of the most in-demand motivational speakers in the world delivering over 100 major conference keynotes each year. What differentiates him, besides having proven his highly effective methodology personally, is his immense personal 1-1 connectivity with people in audiences of all sizes. He brings passion, energy, interactivity and amusing elements to the stage creating an engagement that transforms mindsets with ease.  Recorded: 27th June 2019  Links: More about Jim Lawless More about Maria Franzoni Ltd Connect with Maria on Linkedin Connect with Maria on FaceBook To book any of the speakers featured on the Speaking Business podcast, click here Listen here: Libsyn  Itunes  Soundcloud Stitcher Spotify

If you've got itchy feet there are lots of ways to transition out of your current job in to something you'd love a lot more. But I'm not sure whether the best way to do it is to take a bet! Today's guest, Marc Hogan, took a £1 bet that he couldn't put on a one hour show at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival within 12 months. This was 10 years ago and on today's show Marc explains how this changed everything for him. The bet was placed by my former business partner, Jim Lawless, who had taken a similar bet a few years prior to that when an audience member bet him a pound that he couldn't become a jockey. Anyway, even if taking a bet isn't the way you want your new adventure to begin there's lots in here for you - The concept of “The Editor” - the voice that gets in your way and tells you that you can't. Facing your fears and the importance of, sometimes, having your back against the wall with no other option but to go for it... despite your reservations! Some of the tricks to becoming a professional speaker and what the life of a pro speaker is actually like What you'll need to get started as a speaker (including the importance of your showreel) The difference between being an internal speaker and an external speaker The universal lessons learnt from becoming a comedian that would help us all make our dreams a reality For more information about Marc visit his website, follow him on Twitter and connect with him on LinkedIn.

Jeremy is Head of Life Planning for Serenity Financial Planning – the UK’s largest Financial Life Planning firm. Originally from a banking background, after becoming an Independent Financial Adviser in 2004, and seven years later, he experienced an life changing moment at the PFS Conference in 2011, when he was so inspired by talks from Tina Weeks, David Scarlett and Jim Lawless to make major changes to both his life and the way he worked with his clients. In 2012, Jeremy attained Registered Life Planning status with the Kinder Institute, and in 2013, joined his inspiration Tina Weeks at Serenity. A key driver for Jeremy is helping his clients find or regain direction, purpose and enthusiasm for life. A particular poignant point has been working with one client whose husband suicided in 2013. Together, in May 2017, they arranged a charitable concert in Cornwall, attracting an audience of 900 people, and raising just under £20,000 for Cornwall Search and Rescue Team and Carrick MIND.
