Later, award-winning actor Eddie Marsan sits down with Emily and Jon, talking about the power in community, growing up in the East End in the age of the National Front, and his message to Tommy Robinson.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/

When we visit the doctor, we routinely measure blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, weight, and heart rate.  For years, we've known that early life experiences—especially stress and adversity—leave long-lasting marks on the nervous system. But we rarely stop to ask: How can we see those marks?That's where the eye comes in. Why the Eye Reveals the BrainThe corneal nerve plexus is a dense network of sensory nerves at the front of the eye. It's part of the peripheral nervous system, which connects directly to the brain.Emerging research shows that these corneal nerves reflect the state of the broader nervous system, including:Stress loadInflammatory markersNeurodegenerative changesIn other words: When we look at the eye, we're not just seeing vision structures—we're seeing a living map of how the brain and body have been shaped over time. I had the fortunate opportunity to do study leave at UC Berkeley in the School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, a research project with Drs Katie Edwards and Luisa Holguin Colorado  and Kerri Gillepie at QUT and Dr Suzanne Fleiszig  and Dr David Evans at UC Berkeley.Why Isn't Nervous System Analysis Routine?Here's the bigger question.When we visit the doctor, we routinely measure blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, weight, and heart rate. But the nervous system—the control center of our entire body—is rarely assessed in standard care.Why?We know that chronic stress increases risk for mental illness, metabolic disease, cardiovascular conditions, and cognitive decline. We know that early life stress reshapes neural pathways and immune responses. Yet we lack accessible, affordable, and scalable tools to routinely check the health of the nervous system.That's what makes the eye so exciting. It offers a non-invasive, real-time window into nervous system health—and a chance to shift medicine toward prevention and early detection, rather than just reacting to crisis.In this episode we discuss:How the eye reveals hidden stressWhat we're learning about the links between early life adversity and neural healthWhy public engagement is critical as we develop these new toolsThis is a conversation not just for scientists, but for everyone who cares about mental health, brain health, and the future of healthcare. I'd love to hear what excites or concerns you about this emerging field. When we truly see how early life shapes the brain, we can no longer treat people as just symptoms or diagnoses.It opens a new kind of care: Asking what happened to you? not just what's wrong? Making nervous system health part of routine care Prioritising prevention, resilience, and healingBy measuring the hidden imprints of experience, we can design treatments that help rewire the brain, not just manage symptoms.This isn't just science. It's a transformation in how we care for people.Let's build that future, together. Support the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

Belinda says she learned the hard way about the need to prioritise her mental health; from eating well, exercising, getting enough sleep and knowing when to seek professional help.This even meant requesting to work part time when she was a GP registrar, in order to cope with the workload. Something, which was unheard of at the time.Dr Bell grew up, studied and interned in country NSW, before eventually settling in Warrnambool, where she is regarded as ‘the GP to see' for mental health support.In this episode, you'll hear how Dr Bell turned her perceived ‘weakness'  of being a highly empathetic person into a doctor's super power.

In today's episode, I'm chatting with Lana about her gorgeous Southland wedding!A few things we cover:

“Faith doesn't ignore the facts - it feeds on the promise.”In this message titled Prioritising the Promise, we revisit the life of Abraham through Romans 4 and rediscover what it means to live by faith in a world obsessed with performance. Abraham's body was failing, Sarah's womb was barren, and yet he believed - not in himself, but in the God who "calls things that are not as though they were."This message invites us to shift our gaze from performance to promise, from history to hope, from our ability to God's. Because faith is not about having it all figured out—it's about trusting the One who does.Whether you're questioning the future, caught up in the past, or just tired from trying to perform - this message will breathe fresh faith into your journey. There is a promise over your life. Feed it. Trust it. Live it.

Julie Hogbin joins Doug in this episode. Julie is a multi-published author and founder of SuccessSuite.io and shares her story towards entrepreneurship, revealing personal setbacks that changed her perspective on success. From challenging limiting beliefs about writing books to creating an all-in-one AI platform for authors, Julie demonstrates how reinvention is possible at any stage in life. Their conversation on goal-setting fundamentals, delayed gratification and creating multiple income streams might just change how you approach your own goals and dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS Julie emphasises that we're all inherently goal driven, but many entrepreneurs abandon structured goal setting when leaving corporate jobs, only to realise after about five years that they need clearer direction to achieve meaningful success. Leadership starts with self-awareness, understanding your personal style affects everything around you, yet many resist examining themselves deeply. Julie experienced this firsthand when she "unpicked" herself, didn't like what she found, but ultimately redesigned who she wanted to be. io is Julie's new AI-powered platform that streamlines book writing, publishing, marketing funnels, and podcast creation all in one place. It’s designed to help entrepreneurs establish authority and create recurring income streams. Publishing books establishes authority in entrepreneurial spaces. Some people earn substantial recurring income through strategic book publishing and marketing, with Julie mentioning individuals making £13,000 monthly through Amazon book sales and ads. Our goals are often unconsciously inherited from parents, caregivers and generations before us. True goal setting means unpacking these inherited beliefs and consciously creating your own mission and vision. Delayed gratification is Julie's golden nugget for successful goal achievement. Prioritising long-term benefits over immediate rewards in financial decisions, health and relationships creates sustainable success and stability. Julie completely transformed her life at age 52, age shouldn't limit reinvention. She proves that with hustle and working smart rather than just hard, change is always possible. BEST MOMENTS "If we don't have our own goals, we will achieve somebody else's. We don't know whose goals we are achieving. They are indoctrinated into us as we grow up and we carry generational goals with us." "I unpicked myself once, didn't like what I saw, got confused, and then changed bit by bit by bit to design me and I'm really happy with who I am." "In this entrepreneurial world, we've all got a book inside of us, all of us. We've all got more than one book inside of us... Having a book gives you an authority stamp." "The biggest thing, and I'm sure you will have spoken about it before and it is not earth shattering, I've had to learn it, it is one of the most important things to learn to achieve something that you truly want, and it's two words, delayed gratification."

This week, I dive into what makes a truly effective salon manager in today's rapidly changing business landscape. I've titled it "The 9 Traits of a Modern Salon Manager", and I've consciously used the word 'Modern' because, like everything else in life and business, what worked yesterday may not work so well today.I explore the nine essential traits that modern salon leaders need to cultivate to build successful teams, create thriving businesses, and adapt to the evolving demands of our industry. While certain principles remain timeless, other elements of management and leadership become more or less important over time.Whether you're a salon owner looking to strengthen your leadership skills or a stylist with ambitions of salon management, this episode offers practical insights to help you develop your management approach. And, If you're serious about elevating your management skills, be sure to join me on my FREE Masterclass: The 4 Essential Lessons in Salon Management - Save your seat here  IN THIS EPISODE: [2:00] The importance of your role as a manager and leader [2:52] Why the "hands-off" management approach often fails [4:55] Trait 1: Having a clear vision for the future [5:42] Trait 2: Understanding that leadership is about developing people [6:23] Trait 3: Building relationships and showing empathy [7:07] Trait 4: Offering flexibility in the workplace [8:23] Trait 5: Driving productivity through goal-setting and accountability [9:35] Trait 6: Embracing technology in salon management [10:01] Trait 7: Creating and protecting your salon's culture [10:51] Trait 8: Prioritising effective communication [11:36] Trait 9: Embracing and adapting to change [11:57] Final thoughts on continuous learning as a manager   Want MORE to help you GROW?

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. One thing you will discover if you begin reading around the subject of time management and productivity is the importance of planning your week and day.  Every successful person i have come across, or read about, never fails to plan their days and week. Every person who is struggling, and not achieving their goals are not.  Instead, they find excuses. “I'm too tired”, “I don't have time”, “I have more important things to do”, etc, etc.  Yet, there's more to it than that. It's not just about having a plan for the day and being clear about what needs to be done. it's also about protecting time for the important, but not urgent work, and knowing when to say no, when to push and when to pull back and take some rest. In essence, it's about understanding yourself and knowing your limits. So with that said, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice, for this week's question. This week's question comes from Tammy. Tammy asks, hi Carl, I'm trying to understand what I need to do to become more organised and productive. I know it's holding me back, but there's so much conflicting advice out there that I am confused. Can you help? Hi Tammy, thank you for your question. As I just alluded to, the best place to begin is to understand yourself.  This means knowing when you are at your most focused, when you are prone to distractions and how much sleep you need.  The chances are, if you stop and step back, you will already know this information. Perhaps you find yourself being able to get quite a lot of work done in the morning, but struggle in the afternoons. Or, you may come alive around 3 pm and can get a lot of work done then.  This knowledge, allows you to better structure your days. You can avoid meetings, where possible, at the times you are at your most focused, and rely on human connection to keep your energy levels up by holding meetings when you are less focused—there's something about human interaction that raises our energy levels. You can also ensure you are getting enough sleep, and that means being consistent when you wake up. As I recently learned, it's not the time you go to bed that matters, it's waking up at roughly the same time each day as that starts your 24 hour sleep/wake cycle.  If you mess around with your sleep/wake cycle, you will feel dreadful, and that destroys your productivity.  Once you have the basics locked in, you can then move on to structuring your days.  A couple of years ago, I wrote quite extensively about some famous authors. This was inspired by the book Daily Rituals by Mason Curry. In that book, Mason Curry wrote about incredibly productive people and how they got their work done.  One person, not featured in the book, I wrote about was author Jeffrey Archer. He writes a book every year, and he has his year structured to allow him to take care of writing the new book, promoting the book he wrote the previous year and dealing with his publishers, book cover designers and much more.  Archer also loves cricket. So his year is structured so he can reduce his workload in the summer when the cricket season is on.  This works brilliantly. Jeffrey Archer is consistent. Everyone who works with him knows he will be in Majorca between 27th December and the beginning of March writing his next book. They also know he will be available for meetings, promotions and events between March and June. From July to October, Archer is less available, and from October he's happy to do book tours, interviews and anything else his publisher needs him to do.  It's simple, consistent and makes working with Jeffrey Archer easy. Now, I know it's unlikely you are a multi-million selling author. It's likely you work in a place where there are multiple demands coming at you each day from bosses, customers and colleagues.  Demands such as wanting to know how you're getting on with this or that. If you dig a little deeper, though, most of these demands are because people don't trust that you remember that you committed to doing something for them.  What's the most common reason you chase someone up? It's most likely because you're worried they've forgotten they said they would do something for you.  Why is that? The most common reason is because most of the people we work with are inconsistent. And, yes, sometimes things fall through the cracks and get forgotten and we need to chase them up.  So, if you want less interruptions, which equals more time to do your work, be more consistent.  Consistent with your focus work times. Don't throw your hands up in the air and say “I cannot do that in my job”. You can. You just have to figure out how to communicate your focus work times.  As I was taught, if someone else can do it, so can you. If an airline pilot or surgeon can do their focused work without allowing distractions, so can you. Find the way. What do you have to do to resist interruptions?  So how do you become consistent? You put in place a structure for your day and for your week.  How much time do you need to stay on top of your communications each day? Most people tell me if they could have an hour daily dedicated to responding to messages and emails they would be on top of it. So schedule it.  The alternative is not good, is it? If you don't spend an hour on your messages today, how much time will you need tomorrow? If you skip tomorrow as well, now, how much time will you need? I'm sure you can find one hour a day, but to find three? That's verging on the impossible.  If you were responsible for sending out proposals to clients, how much time would you need for proposal writing to prevent a backlog?  You won't be accurate with your times; you don't have to be. You are using averages. If you get five proposals to write each day, and each proposal takes around thirty minutes to write, that means to prevent backlogs from appearing you need about two-and-a-half hours each day.  The only way you will be able to take care of your responsibility to send out the proposals would be to schedule two-and-a-half hours each day for doing the work. How else will you do it?  Now look at that from your colleagues's perspective? If they know you are consistent and are getting the proposals out on time, how likely will they be chasing and interrupting you?  That's what consistency does. It builds trust with your colleagues. They know once they send you a proposal to write, it will be done. So, they don't bother you asking if you've done it, yet.  My favourite all-time rugby player is Ellery Hanley. He was the greatest player of his generation. What made him so special? You could guarantee that if you made a break, he would always be right next to you, backing you up. This is what made him so good.  Sure he was tough, as all rugby players generally are. He was also fit and strong. But what made him so good was he consistently backed up his players. You knew if you broke your opponent's line, Ellery Hanley would be right there with you to take the ball and score.  Let's say you are that person responsible for writing proposals. You need two-and-a-half hours each day for proposal writing and an hour for your communications. That's just three-and-a-half hours you need to protect each day for your important work.  That still leaves you with four to five hours for anything else you may be required for. Is that impossible?  The final part to this is to plan your week and your day.  Planning the week is about looking at what you have to do and deciding what you will work on the following week. This will be influenced by your deadlines and what you have promised to others.  It will also be influenced by your personal life and your commitments there. If you have kids, they will have a big influence on your weekly plans too.  On a daily level, how many and when are your appointments for the day? what are your must do tasks? Must do tasks are non-negotiable. They must be done. Now, this means you do not want to have too many of these. I generally advise people to have no more than two.  By not allowing more than two must do tasks for the day, you are forced to prioritise. Prioritising is a learned skill. The more you practice it, the better, and faster, you will get at it.  I would also advise using a simple set of tools. A calendar, naturally, and a task manager. If you don't have a task manager now, choose one that's built into the devices you use. That would mean Apple Reminders if you use Apple tools, or Microsoft ToDo if you use a Windows system.  Once you have these tools—a calendar and a task manager, learn to use the tools. I see a lot of people regularly switching their tools in an erroneous belief that they will find the “perfect” tool. They won't the “perfect tool” does not exist.  The real secret is not the tools. It's how you run your day.  Make sure you plan each day, you are consistent doing the work you are employed to do and you get enough sleep.  Just those simple basic practices will improve your overall productivity. I can promise you it works every time.  Thank you, Tammy for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

In an inspiring conversation with the Journal of Biophilic Design, Nick Grayson, Birmingham's former climate change and sustainability manager, reveals how cities can revolutionise urban living by putting nature at the heart of decision-making.Nick's journey from a curious child fascinated by understanding "how all this works" to becoming a pioneering urban transformation expert is a testament to the power of vision and persistent innovation. His most powerful message resonates clearly: "Cities are themselves generating 80% of global emissions and 75 to 80% of nature loss around the world." The turning point came when Nick realised that urban spaces needed a fundamental mindset shift. "Nature isn't something we add on or allow to exist in cities," he explains. "We need to recognize how wholly dependent we are on it, both at an individual and global scale."Birmingham's transformation became a global blueprint for urban regeneration. Nick's shorthand for a biophilic city is deceptively simple yet profound: "Cities that put nature at the heart of their decision making." His approach was revolutionary. By creating ecosystem assessments and climate risk maps, he made the "invisible visible". These visual representations showed stark inequalities - demonstrating how green space availability directly correlated with life expectancy and quality of life. "Every city in the world should do a climate risk and vulnerability assessment," Nick argues. By combining multiple data sets, cities can illustrate existing crises - economic, social, and environmental - and understand how these interconnect."We aren't short of money. We're short of imagination and proper governance," he says. "There isn't a single example of a sustainable city anywhere in the world…The biggest failure of our time is saying we haven't got any money."Nick's vision extends beyond Birmingham. He highlights the urgent global challenge: approximately 20 billion cities of a million people are being created due to rapid urbanisation. "Are they all being done to a sustainable model?" he challenges.His advice for designers and urban planners is both practical and inspirational. "Ask 'why'," he suggests. "Consider what elements of change can be achieved through whatever you're planning. Make it as rich as possible and involve as many players as possible."The ultimate goal, according to Nick, is creating cities where every person can engage with nature daily. "A biophilic city regenerates human consciousness," he explains, "making us more aware of our connections and the richness of planet Earth." Listening to him, we can all take the practical steps he recommends including - Engaging local communities- Creating green infrastructure master plans- Developing fair park standards- Prioritising funding for underserved areasNick's work proves that transformation is possible. Birmingham, once considered a concrete jungle, is now part of a global network of biophilic cities alongside San Francisco, Wellington, and Oslo.His parting vision is both simple and profound: cities where nature is integral to daily life, where people feel connected to the land, and where human consciousness is regenerated through meaningful environmental engagement.For urban designers, planners, and citizens alike, Nick Grayson's message is clear: change is not just possible, it's imperative. By reimagining our relationship with nature, we can create cities that are not just sustainable, but truly alive.As Nick poignantly states, drawing inspiration from astronauts viewing Earth from space, we need a perspective shift - one that sees our urban environments as living, breathing ecosystems where humans and nature coexist in harmony.The future of our cities depends on our willingness to embrace this vision.

We look at the new PanPan Kids Smartwatch, see more about the device here. PanPan Kids Smartwatch, parent-controlled wearable, reviewed There is definitely an interest and a desire, among parents, for a product like this. In local schools there are parent's whatsap groups discussing forward looking policies for their children beginning their educational journeys with the looming challenge of screen time, and the competition for their children's eyeballs. The PanPan smart watch is definitely aiming to tackle the most pressing concerns by parent. First up, the set up process by the company was effective, efficient, and impressively turned around quickly. Our testers were impressed by this and it is a definite plus for the device. The watch looks good, which is a plus, and seemed to be pleasing and agreeable for the kids which is important. The one question, which is always hard to know after a few weeks use, is how durable they will be, especially when you have preteens using them, bumping around with them on. With that caveat, they deliver a good service, and without the landgrab of data, audio, visual and anything else that's going that smartphone based products are inclined to do. If you are going to take this product on, you do need to factor in the cost of the app also. Naturally this is the way of things these days, but just consider it when you are pricing this up. Especially if you are giving this as a gift to someone else, it might be strategic to budget in covering those costs, rather than giving a gift that then requires the receiver to immediately take on a financial commitment. Overall our tester enjoyed putting it through it's paces, and, as this product is a relatively early mover in this market, it would be one that they would be happy to recommend to parents aiming to both be safe but wanting a better option than just handing their child a smartphone with all of the drawbacks that that entails. See more about the PanPan Kids Smartwatch Tunstall Emergency Response and Pandu have partnered to launch the PanPan Kids Smartwatch, a wearable device designed to keep children aged 7 - 12 years safe and parents connected without the need for a smartphone or internet access. Prioritising safety, privacy, and ease of use, the PanPan Kids Smartwatch provides peace of mind for parents while allowing children to explore with a sense of independence. The PanPan Kids Smartwatch is built with safety at its core, featuring: No Camera, No Recording Function - Designed for enhanced security and privacy compliance, making it suitable for schools and aligned with GDPR policies. Full Parental Control - Parents have complete access through the app to customise settings and manage features. Geo-Fencing for Extra Security - Parents can set safe zones and receive instant alerts if their child moves beyond them. Two-Way Calling - Parents and children can communicate easily, ensuring peace of mind and instant connection when needed. Seamless Communication - High-quality, crystal-clear audio enhances two-way conversations for reliable interaction. Equipped with a built-in SIM card, the PanPan Kids Smartwatch enables two-way calling, so kids can easily reach their parents in any situation. It also features a dedicated SOS button that, when pressed, sends an instant alert to the parent's app, along with the child's real-time location. These features, combined with GPS tracking, activity monitoring, and optional 24/7 support, make it a comprehensive safety solution for families. Parents can feel confident knowing their child is safe and secure - whether at home, school, on a playdate, or a school trip. The built-in GPS tracker allows parents to check their child's location in real time, while the two-way calling feature ensures kids can always reach their parents, and vice versa. What Parents Are Saying Louise Rawlins, a mother of two young girls, shares her experience: "As a parent, safety is my top priority. I want my daughters to have ind...

Angela talks to Leslie Kenny, about the fascinating world of longevity and health optimisation. Leslie, a renowned expert in the field, shares her personal journey of reversing her biological age to 21 at the age of 59, focussing upon the importance of a multifactorial approach to aging that includes diet, movement, sleep, and social connection. Together Angela and Leslie discuss the often-overlooked significance of sleep and social interactions, as well as the role of the microbiome in health. Leslie also introduces the powerful compound spermidine, found in various plant-based foods, and its benefits for autophagy, immune health, and even hair pigmentation KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on diet, movement, sleep, and social connection to optimise health and longevity. Prioritising sleep is particularly crucial for reducing risks associated with Alzheimer's and dementia. Each individual has a unique microbiome influenced by their ancestry, which affects how they process different foods. Identifying and removing personal dietary "kryptonite" (foods that trigger negative responses) while incorporating beneficial foods is essential for optimal health. This compound, found in various plant-based foods, activates autophagy, a cellular renewal process. Increasing spermidine intake can support gut health, immune function, and even hair pigmentation by promoting the growth phase of hair follicles. Fasting can have different effects on men and women, particularly during perimenopause. Women may experience negative hormonal changes and stress responses from prolonged fasting, making it essential to find alternative ways to stimulate autophagy, such as through spermidine supplementation. BEST MOMENTS "Aging is a multifactorial problem, so it needs to be solved with a multifactorial approach. Focus on these four pillars: diet, movement, sleep, and social connection." "The more plants we can get into our diet, the better, both for fiber and because there are lots of polyphenols... spermidine activates that cell renewal process known as autophagy." "The greater the diversity of the gut biome, the healthier the person is, the more resilient the microbiome is and able to respond to challenges." "When we think about fasting... it isn't always suitable for women, particularly those in high-stress jobs or going through perimenopausal transition."

Refusing to accept this prognosis, she transformed her health by eliminating inflammatory triggers and supporting her body’s natural healing. Now 59, she has the biological age of 21, is autoimmune disease-free, and naturally conceived at 43. Empowered by her health journey, she returned to school, became a certified Bulletproof coach and began working with Oxford University scientists, helping them raise funding for their groundbreaking research. In a meeting with Professor Katja Simon, she discovered spermidine, a powerful, natural compound dubbed as an “anti-aging vitamin” and found to “delay aging in humans” through its ability to activate autophagy (cell renewal) and target key aging pathways. Recognizing its potential, she founded Oxford Healthspan, launching Primeadine®, a plant-derived spermidine supplement, with the highest quality, Japanese ingredients and the backing of top scientific and clinical advisors. She also collaborated with University of Oxford academics to co-found a non-profit organization, called the Oxford Longevity Project, dedicated to educating the public on easy, actionable ways to improve their healthspan and longevity. oxfordhealthspan.com lesliesnewprime.com oxfordlongevityproject.org https://www.instagram.com/oxfordhealthspan/ https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ https://www.instagram.com/oxfordlongevityproject/ ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

Now that the Open is advancing significantly fewer athletes to the next stage of the CrossFit Games—online semi-finals—will we see athletes shifting their training to become more specialised? Looking at the numbers, only a very small number of athletes will make it into the top 1% of the Open. This means even the best of the best cannot afford a poor performance in any of the three weeks of competition. Given the constraints of needing to complete Open workouts in an affiliate —most likely able to be done in regular classes—we can make some educated guesses about how these workouts will be programmed. With three workouts, and potentially up to four scored events if there's a two-part workout, the variety of movements will be limited. This means the weighting of any single movement could become disproportionately important—especially if one of the events involves a max lift, which would be scored on a single movement. It's likely we'll see workouts designed with progressive skill levels, such as moving from pull-ups to chest-to-bar pull-ups, and then to bar muscle-ups. These factors point towards a particular style of CrossFit workout that athletes may need to focus on in their training. For example, those who struggle with movements like burpees, wall balls, or rowing will likely need to dedicate significant time to improving in these areas. But is it worth making such changes to your training? Considering the Games season is still evolving and will likely continue to undergo smaller changes and iterations in the coming years, it's possible that next season could demand a different skill set. In this week's episode, we continue our discussion about competition and the changes to the season. We take a closer look at how these changes might impact athletes' preparation and the decisions they'll need to make about their training. Listen to find out more about how these changes could impact athletes' preparation, whether the Open now comes down to the luck of the draw, how to allocate training time for different competition styles, and the shift towards local events.
