He chats about why he wanted to open his restaurant's doors to dogs at a time when the concept of ‘Dog Friendly' hadn't reached the mainstream. Proud of his decision to incorporate special ‘six-leg' menus and events for dogs and their people to enjoy, the space at the Victoria flagship restaurant lends itself perfectly being so spacious, it can easily accommodate a Christmas party of rover 80 Guide Dogs - just one of many events he's hosted in aid of charity, and offering great fun for all alike. He explains why it is not ‘illegal' to invite dogs into a restaurant, so long as common sense prevails and there's space to offer those not dog friendly to also feel relaxed. He also chats about his Labradoodle, Hudson, who left his legacy on the restaurant, always remembered through some artworks, and branding as being Martin's inspiration to be so #DogFriendly. His young Labradoodle, named Wilbur and Mr Binks enjoyed meeting and recording in person too!M Restaurant Instagram: @mrestaurantsThank you to Pawable for their support and get 10% off your first order of collagen for your dog with the promo code ADOGSLIFE10.

Kate Molleson and Kevin Le Gendre dive into the lives and music of John & Alice Coltrane Coltrane is a name you're likely to have heard, even if you know little to nothing about jazz. More than half a century after his death, saxophonist and composer John Coltrane is hailed as a giant of American cultural history, and one of 20th-century music's greatest visionaries. But he's not the only Coltrane. His wife, Alice, was an accomplished keyboardist and harpist who made revolutionary music in her own right, and whose contribution to John's late output has not always been fully recognised. As soulmates and fellow seekers in sound, John and Alice both transcended cultural and genre boundaries, helping to pioneer avant-garde and spiritual jazz. But following John's premature death in 1967, Alice began her solo career and would take forward their journey of creative and religious expansion. This week, Kate Molleson is joined by journalist and broadcaster Kevin Le Gendre to dive into the lives and music of these monumental figures, and explore their contributions to the jazz world and beyond. Music featured: Straight Street (from Coltrane) Blue Train (from Blue Train) Miles Davis/John Coltrane: So What (from Kind of Blue) Giant Steps (from Giant Steps) Syeeda's Song Flute (from Giant Steps) Naima (from Giant Steps) Rodgers/Hart: It's Easy to Remember (from Ballads) Up ‘Gainst the Wall (from Impressions) Rodgers/Hammerstein: My Favorite Things (from My Favorite Things) Blues Minor (from Africa/Brass) India (from Impressions) Alabama (from Live at Birdland 1963) Bessie's Blues (from Crescent) Terry Gibbs: Sherry Bossa Nova (from Plays Terry Gibbs feat.

Welcome to Day Five of the Sprint to Freedom. Today, we're diving into two crucial topics: faith and your assignments. When it comes to building your business mindset, having faith is key. Shifting from an employee mindset to that of an employer is a faith journey. You've got to believe you can achieve what you're setting out to do. Building your business isn't just about the practical work, it's also about nurturing your faith during the hours you're not actively working on your business. It's easy for our minds to lead us astray, making us believe we're not cut out for something before we even attempt it. Sometimes, we disqualify ourselves before giving the situation a fair chance, fearing failure or rejection.  But in this 30-day journey, the mantra is clear: stay in the fight, don't disqualify yourself, and don't quit when things aren't moving as fast as you expect. Building faith is crucial because it gives you the strength to persevere when you feel like giving up. Faith, as mentioned in the Bible, is the evidence of things not seen. It's what you hold onto before clients, customers, and success manifest in your business. It's a process—holding onto that unwavering belief before seeing the tangible results.  Your words and thoughts play a significant role in building this faith. Speaking success, growth, and abundance rather than focusing on lack or failure helps shape your reality. Yes, it might seem odd or mystical, but consider how we accept things as truth simply because we've heard them repeatedly. Apply the same principle to your business: speak success into existence.  Change your self-talk, consume positive business content, and take action. Faith without action is fruitless. Engage in the daily challenges, work on your sales funnel, and keep moving forward. By Day 15, aim to have your lead magnet and offer ready, two-thirds of your sales funnel. Remember, this journey requires persistence, positive self-talk, action, and the unwavering belief that success is on the horizon. It might seem strange initially, but as you persist, watch how your reality begins to align with your affirmations. Thank you for joining me today. I'm Martin Williams, and I'll catch up with you soon. Keep speaking your business success into existence and taking those crucial steps toward your goals. https://gameplanplaybook.com/sprint-to-freedom/
