We recently sat down with Michael Serwa, the UK's top life coach - who is brutally honest, unapologetically confident and will kick your backside into transformation. As a life coach of 22 years, Claire followed Michael's inspirational rise to success during that time. A chance meeting at James' book launch meant she finally connected in person and we invited him on the podcast.Born in Poland, Michael arrived in London 20 years ago speaking barely a word of English. After six years in retail he started his coaching business with 5K credit card debt and no idea what he was doing. Now he's perched in a penthouse overlooking London's poshest area and is proof that he doesn't just talk success, he lives it. Michael's worked with CEOs, Olympians and high-achieving go-getters and has been featured in countless national newspaper and TV interviews. Michael doesn't mince words - he says the “F word a LOT (you've been warned!) - but his raw honesty, zero sugar-coating and transformative results are infectious - but not for the faint hearted.Connect with Michael here: https://michaelserwa.com/Ibiza Retreat: https://themidlifementors.com/retreats/The Midlife Male Handbook available now:AmazonWaterstonesWH Smith Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

Confidence can make or break your career as a speaker, professional, or entrepreneur. Today, I sit down with Juan Bendana, one of the most sought-after keynote speakers in the corporate circuit, to discuss how to build unshakeable confidence from the ground up. Juan shares his proven system for developing confidence in any area of life. Juan's journey to becoming a world-class speaker is remarkable. He went from bombing his first speech at a Rotary Club breakfast (literally wanting to run out of the restaurant) to becoming a bestselling author and speaking for companies like American Express, Zillow, and AT&T. In this in-depth conversation, Juan reveals his four-step "Confidence Cycle" that transforms fear into fuel. He also shares why rejection has become his secret weapon and explains how to show up authentically on any stage.  If you've ever felt terrified to step onto a stage, paralyzed by impostor syndrome or the fear of rejection and failure, Juan's journey will inspire you to take action today. "Confidence is not made for the select few who feel more confident than others. It is a choice that is accessible to anyone in any context at any time, but it does take a little bit of work." ~ Juan Bendana In This Episode: - Juan's journey of building confidence as a keynote speaker - Overcoming impostor syndrome and learning to handle rejection - What are the qualities of a great speaker? - How to develop the confidence to be authentic on stage - Handling criticism and haters - The inspiration behind Juan's book: the confidence flywheel - How to build confidence after a failure - The fresh start theory: create your fresh start - How to order Juan's new book, Confident by Choice Don't miss Jen's FREE Get Paid To Speak Challenge!

Imagine training every day for a decade… and still losing. Then figuring out one question that changes everything. Olympic gold medallist Ben Hunt-Davis didn't win because he trained harder, he'd been doing that for years and kept losing. He won because he and his crew started asking one question before every decision: Will it make the boat go faster?  In this conversation, Ben shares the messy reality of chasing big dreams. We talk about missing teams by one place, eating 7,000 calories a day, and why sacrifice isn't always sacrifice if you're doing what you love. Then we jump into how that gold medal shaped his career as a performance coach, why bounce-back ability matters more than talent, and how to apply “filters” to shut out distractions in business and life. 3 Actionable Takeaways: Ask better questions to unlock better results - ruthlessly align your decisions with your real goal Build resilience by treating failures as fuel - treat setbacks as data, not drama Identify and repeat your successes consciously - Start every review by shining a light on what worked. Listen in and steal the mental frameworks that took Ben from last place… to Olympic champion. ---- COMPETITION - 2 months of free coaching Get mindset or business coaching from Sam.

The Queen of the Olympian gods is swallowed whole by her father at birth and then marries her brother Zeus, who turns himself into a cuckoo to seduce her. Hera, or Juno to the Romans, has her triumphs. She adds the eyes to the tail feathers of her sacred bird the peacock by plucking them from the hundred-eyed monster Argos. And in the Iliad she dons a magic bra given to her by Aphrodite to persuade Zeus to support the Greeks against the Trojans. Her loyalty to the Greeks begins when Trojan prince Paris doesn't choose her as the most beautiful. She then devotes her life to persecuting him and his people. Perhaps a slight overreaction. But is Hera a monster or just mistreated by the undisputed worst husband of all time?At a packed out solo show recorded at the Hay Festival Natalie puts the case for and against.'Rockstar mythologist' Natalie Haynes is the best-selling author of 'Divine Might', 'Stone Blind', and 'A Thousand Ships' as well as a reformed comedian who is a little bit obsessive about Ancient Greek and Rome.Producer...Beth O'Dea

From four-time Olympian to Fortune 500 advisor to record-breaking masters athlete at 62, Joetta proves that reinvention has no expiration date. After hanging up her spikes in 2000 following 28 straight seasons of middle-distance running, Joetta built a thriving business helping corporations apply athletic principles to achieve excellence. Then, 25 years later, her daughter's simple request—"Mommy, I want to see you run"—sparked an extraordinary comeback. "There's a difference between being healthy for someone in their sixties and competing at a level again," Joetta reflects. But compete she does, crushing records in the 100 and 200 meters, winning national championships, and showing the masters circuit what excellence looks like when you refuse to slow down. The daughter of the late Dr. Joe Clark (immortalized in the film "Lean On Me"), Joetta learned early that "anything associated with the Clarks has to be excellent." This mantra has driven her from Olympic tracks to corporate boardrooms, where her signature "Joetta Effect" transforms organizations through what she calls the three S's: understanding skill sets, developing strategy, and building staying power. "I'm a four-time Olympian, but I tried out six times," she shares. "I had to have staying power those other two times to get to the third time, which was my first time making the Olympic team." Now, as CEO of JoTyme Fitness and a sought-after speaker, Joetta doesn't just preach wellness—she embodies it. Her mission extends beyond personal achievement to lifting entire communities, especially youth who need to understand that success in sports extends far beyond going pro. In this powerhouse episode of Inspiring Women with Laurie McGraw, Joetta also reveals: The "reverse role play" technique that transforms toxic workplace dynamics Why your "why" must outweigh your "how" to achieve any goal The direct connection between physical wellness and professional productivity How to build a personal brand that stands alone (think Madonna, Oprah, Socrates... and Joetta) The critical difference between being a leader and "merely taking a walk" Her "Garden for Success" framework featuring rows of peas, squash, lettuce, and turnips From urban to suburban to rural communities, Joetta's message resonates: "It's not about being an Olympic champion. I don't have a gold medal from the Olympics, but I got the Gold Medal of life." Her approach to continuous reinvention challenges conventional wisdom about aging, retirement, and what's possible when you know your purpose. "When you wrap yourself around yourself, that's a small package," Joetta explains. "But when you wrap yourself around more people, that's a big package, and that's the gift I want to give." Whether she's breaking masters records, advising Fortune 500 companies, or mentoring youth about the billion-dollar sports industry beyond playing professionally, Joetta Clark Diggs exemplifies what happens when you plant good seeds and refuse to stop growing. At an age when many are slowing down, she's just getting started—again.

It might at first sound like it would be nice to be the lover of the king of the Olympian gods, attended by divine spirits, and living in a luxurious palace among the clouds.  But this happily-ever-after turns sour after Princess Semele asks Jupiter for the gift of immortality.  After a bit of intrigue amongst the gods–not least among them Jupiter's resourceful and ruthless wife Juno–disaster strikes the princess Semele and her dreams are reduced to ashes. An “English opera” from the later career of Baroque master, George Frideric Handel, Semele teems with engaging arias as well as sumptuous choral pieces. Inspired by a tale told by Ovid, Handel and his librettist, William Congreve crafted a work of art that beguiles and entertains supremely.

Click here to listen to the full episodeWhat does it take to have the mindset of an Olympian? In this episode, Brian interviews speed skater Apolo Ohno to find out how we can unlock our inner potential and be inspired to achieve at the highest level, even in challenging and uncertain circumstances. Apolo describes how he developed his talent over time, how he managed his drive so that it didn't consume him and how he learned to pivot and reinvent himself when he retired.YOU WILL LEARN:Why consistency and hard work trump talent.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:Buffini Coaching LiveFree Business ConsultationINSPIRATIONAL QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE:“Don't allow one or two negative thoughts to detract away from the way that you communicate and interact with your family, with your loved ones, with your work and with the goals that you set forth on January 1.” – Apolo Ohno“If you've been derailed, that's OK. But you have within your control to get back on the wagon, to reassess the situation and to go on the attack that's going to best suit what you're seeking. And unless you do that, and take control, you're just going to be a passenger in the speeding train versus being the conductor.” – Apolo Ohno“I had the raw talent, but talent alone, unfortunately, is just not enough in the last 5 percent. It is merely just the starting line.” – Apolo Ohno“There's a competitive inner drive and a fire in all of us. I call it that high-performance mindset. So, when that's switched on, you are very sharp, you're very hungry and it's time to get work done.” – Apolo Ohno“Always continue to learn, and always stay hungry no matter what. We as human beings have the capacity to always grow. And we can change our neural chemistry through that system. We're understanding how that works now. So, the mindset, to me was always the single greatest tool.” – Apolo Ohno“Hopefully I can help people unlock their own inner potential in a way that they become more confident, more resilient, better relationships with their family, and they're getting what they believe they both deserve and what they seek.” – Apolo Ohno Hosted on Acast.

I’m thrilled you’re here for this episode - you are in for an incredibly inspiring conversation. My guest is none other than Olympian and silver medal-winning high jumper, Nicola Olyslagers - a remarkable woman whose story will uplift you, whether you’re an athlete, a dreamer, or simply navigating life’s ups and downs. You might know Nicola for leaping over impossibly high bars on the world stage… but what you may not know is that between those jumps, she pulls out a journal and writes. Her journaling practice is simple and powerful - a ritual that helps her reset, stay calm under pressure, and keep her focus exactly where it needs to be. Here are just a few gems you’ll take away: The surprising link between letting go and achieving your biggest dreams - and how surrendering control opened the door to Nicola’s greatest achievements. Why journaling can be your secret performance weapon, whether you’re chasing Olympic gold or simply trying to stay grounded through life’s challenges. How to turn tough moments into opportunities for growth, so you can move forward stronger and more inspired. The importance of enjoying the journey now — not just when you hit the big goal. Nicola’s story is a masterclass in purpose, resilience, and joy. It’s about living intentionally, staying true to what matters, and finding strength in unexpected places. So, grab your favourite drink, pop in your earbuds, and let this conversation remind you that whatever your “Olympics” is - in sport, business, or life - you can pursue it wholeheartedly while loving the process along the way. As always, I’d LOVE to hear what resonates with you from this episode and what you plan to implement after listening in. So please share and let’s keep the conversation going in the Dream Life Podcast Facebook Group here. Have a wonderful weekend

Whether you're into windsurfing, foiling, or stories of resilience and global adventure, this conversation captures the passion, strategy, and supportive vibe of the sport's rising stars.Island Upbringing to Global Racing: Growing up in Curaçao with school-to-beach routines, starting wind sports at age 8 with her brother, and adapting to Dutch winters, public transport, and wetsuits after moving at 16.IQ Foiling Essentials: A deep dive into the Olympic one-design class, including 7.3m sails for women, foils on 95cm masts, racing formats like upwind courses, downwind slaloms, and new upwind slaloms in winds from 6 to 45 knots—hitting speeds up to 50 km/h.Extreme Race Experiences: Thrilling recaps of events like Kiel with massive winds, waves, rain, and crashes; strategic racing at 80% effort to avoid time-sucking falls; and the chaos of 45-knot blasts where everyone swims but laughs about it later.Olympic Aspirations and Prep: Path to 2028 via upcoming Panam Junior Games in Paraguay (light winds on a current-filled lake); visualizing medals; recent wins for confidence; and competing in fleets of 25–79 girls against top Olympians.Training Grind and Family Bond: Daily routines of gym sessions, biking, rowing, and on-water practice; balancing university studies; traveling and pushing limits with her brother (who just scored a race win at Worlds); and the supportive, fun women's fleet that bonds off-water but competes fiercely on it.Life Lessons and Thrills: Reflections on pushing fear boundaries for growth, the excitement of high-stakes racing, how sport builds bonds and changes perspectives, and embracing the "easy" surf life amid hard work.Follow Zara on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/zara_surf/ for more of her foiling adventures, training updates, and Olympic journey.Looking to learn about new gear at AWSI?

Pilates has stood the test of time — but in our distracted, hyper-stimulated modern world, do its core principles hold new relevance?In this episode, Matt is joined by Heba Abdel Gawad, a leading international Pilates educator, co-owner of Dubai-based Bodyhack Fitness Education, and former Olympic synchronised swimmer.

We are mixing it up with this episode, and let's just say that things get a little bit spicy! If you haven't subscribed to our YouTube channel yet, then now is the time b/c you will want to watch this one there for sure. In this episode, I (editor Chris) join as host to take Des and Kara through the Hot Ones challenge, using the hot sauce line-up from Season 27 of the show. Hot Ones is the show with hot questions and even hotter wings, but since we recorded this in Austin, we swapped in smoked brisket for hot wings, with all of the same sauces from the show. To start, we cover fun running questions and then get into deeper life stuff as the bites getting hotter. Des and Kara hang in there pretty well until brisket bite #8, when things drastically fall off the rails as we hit the infamous "Da Bomb" sauce. Des starts sweating dramatically from the sides of her nose, and suddenly Kara can't form a coherent sentence. In addition to the hilarious spectacle of it, you learn some fun stuff along the way including their post-long-run food of choice, their alt Olympic sport from another life, some very questionable road-trip hygiene choices, and how they remain authentic in the public eye (plus so much more). How will these two Olympians handle the challenge?!? Tune in to find out!

From being inspired by her grandfather to run to becoming an Olympian to finding fulfillment in post-Olympic life, long-distance runner Kara Goucher has lived a life marked with many accomplishments — as well as challenges that she's risen to meet with vulnerability and courage.   In this episode, Goucher, who's featured in the July/August 2025 issue of Experience Life, opens up about her career and the struggles with self-confidence that she faced throughout it, as well as her time at Nike's Oregon Project and what it took to stand up and share her experiences with emotional and sexual abuse.    She also talks about her commitment to advocating for others and clean sport, and how she stays connected to the sport she has such a passion for now that she's retired from competitive running.   Find the episode highlights, get related resources and view the transcript for this episode at https://experiencelife.lifetime.life/podcast/running-the-long-race   Have thoughts you'd like to share or topic ideas for future episodes?

Dr. Haley Perlus is a renowned mental performance coach, author, and speaker who has made her mark as both an alpine ski prodigy and a “Performance Whisperer” for Fortune 500 leaders, Olympians, and everyday high achievers. With a PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology, she draws from her own athletic journey and her deep belief in human potential to help individuals master their mental game, transform pressure into power, and achieve their personal gold standards. Dr. Haley is the author of Personal Podium,creator of the #MentalToughnessMoments series, and a passionate advocate for self-belief, personal growth, and mental wellness. Takeaways: Mental toughness is a skill, not a trait—it can be developed by focusing on motivation, confidence, focus, and anxiety control, making it accessible to anyone willing to put in the work. Preparation trumps natural talent or pressure—the best performers build on their strengths and prepare thoroughly, enabling them to confidently “want the ball” during high-stakes moments. Grace isn't an excuse for inaction—you should give yourself compassion on tough days, but never let yourself off the hook completely. Doing something, even if it's not your best, is always better than doing nothing.  Sound Bites: “I do believe people can grow. I do believe people can change. I do believe we have more control than we give ourselves credit for.” “Goals are great for vision, but standards are what you control and uphold daily—they become your benchmark for mental toughness.” “Winners want the ball because they're willing to risk, to grow, to challenge themselves, and to see what they're truly made of.” Quote by Mick: “You don't rise to the occasion, you rise to your level of preparation.

Many of us have our own muse – someone who’s inspired us in a profound way. Such people can be seen as the descendants of the original Muses – goddesses who inspired great accomplishments in music, dance, poetry – and astronomy. The Muses were the daughters of Zeus, the king of the gods of Olympus, and Mnemosyne, the goddess of memory. And they were the great grand-daughters of Uranus, one of the Titans – the gods who came before the Olympians. The Muse of astronomy was Urania – a name that means “heavenly.” She inspired people to look at the stars, to draw maps of them, and to create stories about them. She was also said to be able to see the future by “reading” the stars. In classical artworks, Urania often is shown looking skyward, and wearing a cloak that’s covered in stars. In some pieces, she also has a halo of stars. Because the stars were important for navigation and mapping in the ancient world, her symbols were a globe and a compass. In the 16th century, Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe named his observatory “Uraniborg” in her honor. A half-dozen other European observatories have also borne her name. And she’s in the official seals of the U.S. Naval Observatory and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada. So the mythical Muse who inspired people to watch the sky in ancient Greece is still an inspiration today. Script by Damond Benningfield
