Sam Plant, Chief Legal Officer at Müller UK & Ireland, brings a refreshing mix of humility, insight and honesty to this episode of Lessons I Learned in Law. From risk-taking in legal advice to speaking up about gender inequality, Sam shares three candid lessons that challenge the status quo.Leading the legal and compliance function across one of the UK's best-known consumer brands—yoghurts, milk, desserts, and a vast B2B logistics network—Sam reflects on a career shaped as much by mistakes as by milestones. He explains why embracing the right kind of mistake can sharpen commercial judgement, and why lawyers who never get it wrong may be playing it too safe.Sam also offers a counterpoint to the classic “say yes to everything” career advice. In his view, learning to say no—to roles, responsibilities, and scope creep—is essential for long-term success and team wellbeing.In a standout third lesson, Sam shares how he became more aware of his own privilege and began advocating for gender equity in law and beyond. His honest reflections on male allyship, everyday bias, and building trust with women in the profession are as powerful as they are practical.Guest Recommendations: • Book: Doppelganger by Naomi Klein • Podcast: Origin Story by Ian Dunt and Dorian LynskeyAbout Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

Father's Day is less than a week away, so I thought this would be a wonderful time to share a story about my father. I have lots of cherished memories to choose from, but this is one of my all-time favorites. I'm sure that, in the midst of the childhood crisis I was experiencing at the time, my dad never dreamed what a lasting and long-reaching effect of his response would have in my life, but it did.

David Flavell, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at PepsiCo, shares practical, hard-earned insights from a legal career that has spanned the globe—from Melbourne to Shanghai, Dubai to New York—culminating in one of the most senior legal roles in the Fortune 50.Now leading a global legal function of 500+ professionals, David speaks candidly about how in-house lawyers can step into a more strategic mindset. He explains why legal leaders must go beyond technical skill and embrace being seen as commercial operators—riding potato trucks (literally), working side-by-side with business teams, and asking the questions no one expects lawyers to ask: “How's the business doing?”David unpacks what it really means to be a strategic partner, how to balance legal risk with business ambition, and why “being liquid and filling the gaps” is one of the most valuable habits a legal leader can develop. From navigating cultural differences to crisis management and AI readiness, this episode is packed with practical guidance for lawyers who want to lead, not just advise.About Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

Have you ever felt like your business is taking too long to take off? Divine timing in business is something I've come to deeply understand through my recent journey into motherhood.After going 42 weeks pregnant and experiencing a birth that looked nothing like my plans, I discovered profound parallels between birthing a baby and birthing a business. Both journeys asked me to surrender control, trust my intuition, and allow something bigger to move through me. I'm currently on maternity leave, yet I'm on track to make half a million dollars - without taking a single coaching call! This wasn't by chance. It's because I learned to create space for what matters, build systems that work without me, and trust in perfect timing.If you're in the in-between - no longer where you started but not yet where you want to be - this episode will remind you: you're not behind. You're right on time.Topics covered in this episode:What my 42-week pregnancy taught me about divine timing in business.What it means to actively surrender and why it's essential.Why nothing seems to be happening right before your biggest breakthroughs.What it actually looks like to create a business that runs while you're on maternity leave.How to build a business that honors your natural rhythms and energy.Resources from this episode:The Universe Has Your Back: Transform Fear to Faith by Gabrielle BernsteinTherapreneur: A Therapist's Guide to 3x Your Therapy IncomeTherapist to Coach Accelerator program

These are lessons that I'll be applying to album creation ~ recording an album of original songs ~ and lessons that you, too, can apply to that creative project that's on your heart.

In this episode, I reflect on a powerful lesson I learned from none other than Click and Clack, the Tappet Brothers. These two radio legends taught me that authenticity and laughter are just as important as information. Their ability to be themselves—unfiltered, funny, and real—reminded me how grateful I am for the mentors who influence us without ever knowing it. Tune in as I share how their example shaped my own voice and approach to podcasting—and why I'm thankful for every lesson wrapped in a laugh.#Gratitude #ClickAndClack #Podcasting #TheDaileyGrateful #LifeLessons #BeAuthentic #RadioInfluence
Jane Hyde, Group General Counsel and Company Secretary at RWS Group PLC, shares a refreshingly non-linear legal career that took her from City law to investment banking, via a sabbatical in wine tasting — all the way to the executive team of a global AI-enabled language services business.In this unfiltered episode, Jane reflects on the pivotal moments that shaped her leadership journey. From leaving Freshfields for the trading floor at JP Morgan, to taking a career break and topping the global wine diploma charts, Jane's path is anything but typical. Her lessons emphasise the value of learning outside law, the importance of clear, human communication (especially in a tech-heavy world), and why ownership and accountability matter more than ever for in-house lawyers.Listeners will take away practical insight on integrating legal with the wider business, contributing meaningfully to executive discussions, and building credibility through sound judgement—not just technical skill. Jane also shares how side roads, like compliance and PSL roles, helped refine her leadership approach, and why your next move doesn't always need to be part of a five-year plan.Guest Recommendations:The Rest is History — A wide-ranging, witty take on historical moments with Tom Holland and Dominic SandbrookThe Rest is Entertainment — A pop culture spin by Marina Hyde and Richard OsmanAbout Heriot Brown: At Heriot Brown, we help lawyers find fulfilment in their careers.

Spring time always takes me back to the year 2000 and remembering my mother. She passed away that year and at the age of 19, I had to figure out how to navigate the world without her.

I want to share 5 of the biggest lessons I learned from her and I hope you give your mom a big hug the next time you see her if she's still here or call her just to talk.

Welcome to a raw, real, and deeply personal episode of Shift with CJ. In this solo session, CJ opens up like never before — not to teach, not to inspire, but to document. To reflect. To process. This isn't about pretending life is perfect — it's about unpacking lessons as they happen in real time. In this episode, CJ reflects on six powerful lessons from a week filled with chaos, clarity, and deep internal growth.Key Takeaways:Solomon's Paradox & Self-Advice You're brilliant at giving others advice… but often blind when it's your own life. Learn to pause and ask, “If my friend were facing this, what would I tell them?”Confidence Is Contagious Confidence isn't something you're born with — it's built over time, and it multiplies when you're around people who believe in themselves. Who's in your circle?Persistence Beats Talent Most people quit three feet from gold. The ones who win are the ones who simply don't stop — even when it hurts, especially when it hurts.Storytelling Wins Whether you're building a business, pitching a product, or trying to connect with others — facts inform, but stories move people. Start telling yours.Pain Is a Teacher, Not a Punishment Instead of asking “Why is this happening to me?”, ask “What is this trying to teach me?” This shift alone can turn pain into power.Life Is Short. Really Short. Tomorrow isn't promised. Breathe deeper. Forgive faster. Hug tighter. Work hard — but live even harder.5 Things You Can Start Doing Today:Use the Solomon Strategy: Next time you're overwhelmed, stop and imagine it's your best friend with the same problem. What advice would you give them? Now follow it.Audit Your Circle: Spend more time with confident, grounded people. Their energy will shape yours. Confidence is viral — catch it from the right sources.Track Tiny Wins: Create a habit of writing down 1 small win at the end of each day. This activates your brain's reward system and helps build real confidence over time.Craft Your Origin Story: Whether you're a founder, coach, or just someone figuring it out — write down your story. Why did you start? What do you stand for? It will become your anchor and your amplifier.Reframe Setbacks Instantly: Instead of spiraling, try this: when something bad happens, ask out loud: “What is this trying to teach me?” That one line can save your day — and your mindset.This episode wasn't just a podcast — it was a moment in time. CJ shared his dopamine highs, personal heartbreaks, business challenges, and spiritual reminders, all tied together with one intention: to help you grow through what you go through.

In this episode, I take you along on my sourdough bread baking journey and reveal the surprising style lessons I discovered along the way. What began as a TikTok-influenced adventure quickly turned into a personal exploration of perfectionism, fear of failure, and finding my own path. I walk you through my complete bread-making journey, from the overwhelm of too much information to the joy of finding my own approach.Through my story of exploding dough and burnt bottoms, I extract five powerful lessons that can apply perfectly to your style journey.Here's some of what you'll learn from this episode:Why fear of failure keeps us stuck in our comfort zones - with both bread and fashion - and how to recognize when your inner critic is holding you backThe crucial difference between collecting knowledge and actually practicing - and why watching all the YouTube videos in the world can't replace hands-on experienceThe turning point that came when I invested in proper education instead of drowning in conflicting internet adviceWhy finding a style approach that matches your personality matters more than trying to follow everyone else's rigid rulesMy expensive mistake in thinking success starts with shopping - and why using what you have first always leads to better resultsI hope this episode helps you recognize that mastering your personal style, like baking good bread, isn't about perfection or following every rule to the letter. It's about having the courage to start somewhere, learning the basics, and then experimenting to find what works for you. Remember that confidence comes from mastery, mastery comes from practice, and practice starts with courage. Some people think what you wear doesn't matter, and that it's frivolous to care about style. And for them, that's fine. But if it matters to you, it matters. Your everyday deserves to be dressed for, no matter what anyone else thinks.Full show notes and resources: https://youreverydaystyle.com/lessons-from-sourdough

The Michael Yardney Podcast | Property Investment, Success & Money
Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn't it? Let me ask you a question… with the benefit of hindsight and knowing what you know now, if you had the opportunity to do so, would you have bought an investment property 40 years ago? I bet your answer would be yes, realising that the median property price in Sydney was $68,500 back then and that you could have bought a median-priced property in Melbourne for just $40,000. So today I share 40 valuable lessons learned from over five decades of property investment. Takeaways Hindsight's a wonderful thing, isn't it? Successful investors have a long-term strategy. Don't do what most property investors do. The biggest risk is not doing anything. Location will do 80% of the heavy lifting. Don't rely on the media for your investment strategies. A change in your thinking will lead to a change in your life. You improve at what you practice intentionally. Time spent worrying is time that you could spend identifying opportunities. Never give up, you need resilience.
