Benny Higgins is a Scottish Banker and Former CEO of RBS, Bank of Scotland and Tesco Bank. He is also the chairman of a portfolio of companies. He's a lover of Art and Poetry. He is also my good friend.Benny Higgins grew up in Toryglen tower blocks, captained Celtic's youth team, and became a defining force in modern Scottish business — from CEO of RBS during the NatWest takeover, to building Tesco Bank from the ground up. But what makes Benny different is the paradox: a numbers man with a lifelong devotion to poetry, art, and culture — and a Glaswegian accent that never moved an inch.We recorded this in Kelvingrove Art Gallery, a place that shaped Benny as a 10-year-old at his first ever art competition — and still represents the thread running through his life: curiosity, pride, and the desire to win.We get into Celtic, class, and leadership… the reality of boardrooms at scale… why he hires through trust over “perfect CVs”… and the stories you genuinely couldn't script: Maya Angelou, the Golden Globes, Soho, and a cocktail named after his fifth wife Sharon.Why Kelvingrove is symbolic to Benny's origin storyToryglen tower blocks: toughness, community, and confidence through footballCeltic youth captaincy and the first leadership lessons that stuck“I just wanted to win”: the mindset behind academic dominanceActuarial exams in 2.5 years (when the average was ~7)RBS context + how the NatWest hostile takeover happenedBuilding Tesco Bank from scratch: 140 people → 5,000 → 8m customersHiring “the best people I knew” and why trust beats processSocial mobility: money, identity, and why he treats everyone the sameSoho stories: tailors, members clubs, and the “Higgins No.5” cocktailThe Golden Globes: Jon Hamm photo… taken by Bradley CooperLunch with Maya Angelou: poetry, Burns, and an unforgettable momentWhat people think is true about him (but isn't)What's next — and the ambition that still drives himGuestBenny Higgins — former senior leader at RBS, creator of Tesco Bank, chair/board roles across culture and business.Subscribe on YouTube + hit the bellFollow the podcast on Spotify/Apple: https://open.spotify.com/show/6DV9tUfz5nGCmH0bfZUFrMJoin the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/davidmcintoshjrFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidmcintoshjr/If you enjoyed this give me a follow:Sponsor — Slater Menswear (Made To Order)Quick shoutout to Slater Menswear's Made To Order service — they've been part of some of the biggest moments in my own origin story: first job interview suit, first corporate role, big talks, and now sitting across from guests I genuinely admire.

EPISODE 606 - Claire Isenthal - Balancing Family and Writing, An Adventurous Duology Made to OrderClaire Isenthal grew up traveling all over the world with her family. She graduated from Purdue University and went on to live in Chicago where she worked in Digital Marketing and Ad Sales for over ten years. She has since relocated her family back to her Indiana hometown, but is still an avid traveler and loves nothing more than to lose herself in a good book. She still attributes her knack for structure and pacing to reading some of the Harry Potter books over 10 times. Claire is an International Thriller Writers (ITW) member and has a Substack for new authors — Rising Talent, Earning Your Space in the Publishing Industry. When Claire is not attending writer's conferences or classes, her evenings are spent with her husband, two children, computer or writers group. The Rising Order is her first novel.The Rising Order kicks off a series reflecting the rise of extremism and threats society faces in the digital age.Losing everything changed Wolf. Orphaned at a young age, he had no family, no home, and no future. Until a domestic terrorist organization seduced him into their ranks when he was eighteen. Over the next ten years, he's transformed into a merciless killer and discovers his life's purpose in the organization's mission of societal breakdown. Building a new totalitarian regime consumes him and it starts with collapsing Chicago's vulnerable electrical grid.Flynn is trapped in a soul-sucking job, recruiting at a renowned computing firm. When Wolf takes her hostage during a brutal attack on Soldier Field, she becomes a pawn in their mission to take control of the city. Forced to help Wolf infiltrate her company, right and wrong is no longer black or white. If Flynn refuses, he will murder every person she loves. If she agrees, Chicago will suffer unimaginable horror. Killing Wolf is her only solution. But, while searching for his breaking point, she discovers a glimpse of humanity she didn't know existed—a loneliness she also recognizes in herself. Now, it will take more than wit and willpower to stop him from destroying her city, it will take everything she has.The New Order lands readers right where Isenthal left them in book I — on the edge of a cliffhanger… Chicago has fallen and Flynn Zarytsky, an unwilling accomplice in the city's takeover by REDS, has gone into hiding. As she and her fellow Allies, rebels to the new terrorist regime, scrounge for supplies and survival among the darkened buildings, measures grow desperate. When a meeting gone awry sends Flynn across the path of a familiar face, she's flung once more into a troubled partnership that could determine the city's fate. Alliances are formed and tested as Flynn, Nate, and their comrades create an ambitious plan that could save the nation—or get them all killed. If they want any chance of success, they must learn to place trust and hope in unlikely places. Can redemption be found for those who have done the most harm but suffered the deepest hurt? Is forgiveness, empathy, even love possible among the broken pieces of REDS's new order? The action continues in this final installment of Claire Isenthal's thrilling series, a page-turning read not to be missed.https://www.claireisenthal.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

This question plagues many people and it's not actually all that difficult at its core if we commit to what is being asked of us.
The distorted thinking of the ego mind creates a lot of fears that hold us back from more easily embracing beneficial changes to our belief system.
We can't get to a better feeling place without diving into whatever is standing in the way of that.
Overcomplicating things is the ego mind's specialty especially when it comes to the spiritual journey.
The most important thing we need to do is probably the least desirable. But once we embrace it, big change can come.

The crux of our personal development journey is nothing more than releasing the ego thought system in favor of spirit's thought system. This seemingly big task can be accomplished with nothing more than a simple willingness to have our minds changed.
On what would have been my mother's 70th birthday I reflect on the three years she has been gone, this process and what may occur during it.
You are probably doing better than you think
The less we look to the outside world to give us anything, the more we will enjoy it.
Getting what we truly want isn't all that hard when we understand what it actually is.
The more deeply we understand the dysfunctional thinking that guides us, all the things that don't make sense start to very clearly. And this understanding is a game changer.
Synopsis Today we have a letter to read, written by Mozart in the middle of May in the year 1778. Mozart was in Paris, 22 years old, and had this to say to his father back in Salzburg: “I think I told you in my last letter,” wrote Mozart, “that the Duc de Guines plays the flute extremely well, and that his daughter is my pupil in composition. She also plays the harp magnifique. She has a great deal of talent, even genius, and in particular a marvelous memory so that she can play all her pieces, actually about 200, by heart. It is, however, extremely doubtful as to whether she has any talent for composition, especially as regards invention or ideas.” The Duc de Guines was the former French ambassador to London and believed by Mozart's father to be in the inner circle of the French Queen Marie Antoinette, and hence a contact well worth cultivating. De Guines commissioned Mozart to write a double concerto for himself on flute and daughter on harp. Mozart complied with a courtly Concerto in C Major. Four months after delivering the music, Mozart had to report to his father that he still hadn't seen any payment for his efforts! Music Played in Today's Program W.A. Mozart (1756 - 1791) Concerto for Flute and Harp, K. 299 Emmanuel Pahud, flute; Marie-Pierre Langlamet, harp; Berlin Philharmonic; Claudio Abbado, condcutor. EMI 57128
