In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, host Kevin Brent sits down with Mark Crane, the founder of Evolution Risk Group and CEO of Coachd, to explore his entrepreneurial journey, dive deep into his sales strategies, and share insightful leadership lessons from his experience in building and scaling businesses. Mark is a dynamic leader who brings a wealth of knowledge to the conversation, particularly around effective lead generation, hiring for startups, and leveraging technology to enhance business operations. Here are some key topics covered in the episode: Evolution Risk Group: Mark's independent insurance brokerage, designed to disrupt traditional insurance practices by focusing on personalised service and client problem-solving. The business faced early challenges with recruitment but has since achieved steady growth. Coachd: A coaching business targeting mid to high-tier professionals seeking career, sales, and mindset coaching. Mark provides both one-on-one and group sessions, sharing how his coaching style empowers individuals to invest in their future success. Sales Strategy and Lead Generation: Mark shares his structured approach to lead generation, dedicating a minimum of 2 hours daily to calls and tracking outcomes meticulously. His goal is to have 60 meaningful conversations from every 100 calls, and he emphasises the power of persistence, follow-ups, and multi-channel engagement using LinkedIn, email, and WhatsApp. Recruitment and Team Building: As a startup leader, Mark explains how he shifted his recruitment focus from experience to cultural fit and attitude, partnering with specialist recruiters to find adaptable candidates willing to perform diverse tasks. He discusses the importance of using tools like Monday.com to track team efficiency and inform his hiring strategy. Leveraging Technology: Mark highlights the tools that drive efficiency in his businesses, from Dialpad's call transcription and action point features to HubSpot's CRM system, and the use of WhatsApp for nurturing prospects. These tools have been instrumental in streamlining operations and improving sales efforts. Personal Development: A strong advocate for self-improvement, Mark recommends The Chimp Paradox for mastering mindset and draws inspiration from sales experts like Andy Elliott and Grant Cardone.

VYS0027 | Batchelor of Dark Arts - Vayse to Face with Douglas Batchelor Pt. 2 - Show Notes This is the second part of a two part interview - if you haven't yet listened to the first part, give it a listen before you dive into part two. *You can find part one here: * VYS0026 | It's a Wand-erful Life - Vayse to Face with Douglas Batchelor Pt. 1 (https://www.vayse.co.uk/vys0026) Thanks to Doug for making it through 3 hours of Vayse interrogation and thanks as always to Keith for the show notes! In the second part of Hine and Buckley's interview with the indefatigable Douglas Batchelor, creator and host of the luminous What Magic is This? podcast, the dark side is calling. Having explored his guiding principle of positivity and kindness in the previous episode he now explains how his thoughts, philosophies and understanding of magic play out when applied to the spookier side: Hexes, curses, love spells, necromancy, black magic and the left-hand path. Doug also answers some weird questions about ancestor veneration, synchronicity, what books are currently inspiring him and which deadly non-human-entity may be the one that eventually ends each and every one of us...

My friend Zoë (hi Zoë!) is taking a course on learning design. In it, she heard about Behaviourism, Cognitivism, and Constructivism, and while she said that she found it confusing, her main takeaway is that "you need a bit of each". I recorded this episode to help her have a clearer sense of what these three words really mean, and that "a bit of each" is emphatically not the right message. I thought that others might benefit from the same summary. This is a frequent topic in education courses, and I think it generally gets a pretty poor treatment. Hopefully this will clear things up for a lot of people. Enjoy the episode. *** RELATED EPISODES Note how the distribution of episodes reflects the importance of topics. Behaviourism is important to know about but it really isn't current as a way of thinking about learning, it's more of a historical relic with some lasting applicability to animal training. Constructivism is a mistaken and misleading theory that keeps negatively affecting educational practice and never seems to go away, so I keep having to talk about it. Cognitivism is a really effective approach which deserves to be known more widely - it took me a long time to find out about it, hence why the episodes about it tend to be more recent.

The root problem of every personal and professional relationship is manipulation. It is also a vice that is deeply rooted in the business world. Most entrepreneurs manipulate their customers to push sales, which is why most fail within the first three years. It is, therefore, important to learn how to make rational decisions that are not manipulative if you want to stay long in the game because your business is only as good as its name in the market. Manipulation is the easiest way to destroy your reputation. Join this conversation with Noah Revoy as he shares the effects of manipulation and how to know when we have crossed the line. Know the tips for approaching a manipulator as an entrepreneur. It is both an art and a skill that you must master. Noah Revoy is a personal and business relationship strategist who teaches individuals and organizations how to identify and resist manipulation. Noah mentors couples, professionals, founders, executives, and investors to build a sustainable, win-win relationship. Let's jump in! Key Highlights From The Show [00:01] Episode intro and a quick bio of the guest; Noah Revoy [01:39] A bit of Noah's backstory [04:21] The common problems in society that every person faces [05:54] Everyone experiences imposter syndrome [11:02] What is “manipulation” from the context of Noah's book [13:58] Maintaining your business clients without manipulation in sales [14:45] The easiest way to destroy your business reputation [16:09] How to know if you are being manipulated [22:28] Effects of manipulation on entrepreneurs and how they can escape it [23:37] Why entrepreneurs need to master the science of emotional intelligence [24:22] Ways you can approach a manipulator [29:27] More examples of manipulation among entrepreneurs [33:08] What does it mean to be an entrepreneur, according to Noah [36:32] What has Noah learned about himself since he became an entrepreneur [40:42] How to reach out and connect with Noah [41:28] Ending the show and call to action Notable Quotes All the problems of life come from a need of the human spirit. It is not advisable to make long-term decisions when you are exhausted. Many people are manipulative because they have needs and do not know how to address them. The root problem of every personal and professional relationship is manipulation. Reputation is incredibly important for continual in business. The easiest way to destroy it is through manipulating your customers. Entrepreneurs who have a manipulated mindset will find it difficult to succeed. However, they can escape that by developing an instinct against manipulation. No matter how well you do in your business, the place that will help you the most is your spouse and children because if your family life is chaotic, you cannot give your all to the business. If something makes sense to you, then it is a calling.

In this interview, I have the honour to speak with Professor Christian Lebiere, researcher in cognitive architecture, co-author of The Atomic Components of Thought, and one of the main developers of the ACT-R architecture. We talk on a range of topics relating to cognitive architecture, cognitive modelling, and psychology. My questions are listed below, by theme. A note on cover art: this is a diagram of ACT-R version 2.0 from 1993. More modern versions of ACT-R contain somewhat different components, but we discuss this diagram in the interview so I have shared it here. OVERVIEW. What is cognitive architecture? What is ACT-R? Why should we care? EVIDENCE. What evidence is there for ACT-R? How much evidence is there? What sort of human activities can it model? Can it model non-goal-driven behaviours such as daydreaming, for instance? Has ACT-R been tested with people of different ages (children vs. adults vs. the elderly)? Has it been tested with people of different cultures? SCOPE & ELEMENTS. ACT-R version 2.0 had no working memory component - why not, and what were the circumstances that led to it being introduced? How does ACT-R deal with consciousness? How is ACT-R being extended to deal with emotions? APPLICATION. When did ACT-R become mature enough as a theory for you to move from basic science and theory-building to application? What are the educational applications of ACT-R? PUBLIC RELATIONS. It took me over 7 years before I found out about cognitive architecture as a field. Nobody in education, or in the general public, seems to know about it, and it seems to never be mentioned by the vast majority of psychologists either. Given its achievements in modelling human cognition, why do so few people know about it? Enjoy the episode. *** RELATED EPISODES 79. What learning is 80. The Chimp Paradox by Prof Steve Peters 82.

I have recently discovered the field of cognitive architecture. I have been reading around the area for the last couple of months, and I would like to introduce it to my audience. It's an area of study with incredible achievements which revitalises my belief in psychology as a field, but which for some reason is not at all well known, even in education circles where it deserves to be known to all as the most impressive set of theories of cognition and learning ever produced. I particularly focus on one theory known as ACT-R, though I have also been reading about other architectures such as Soar, LIDA, EPIC, and CLARION. I will be able to go into more detail about some of these in later episodes of the podcast. For the moment, the biggest takeaway is what a cognitive architecture is and how impressive the achievements of the field have been so far. Cognitive architectures aim to describe human thinking and learning through analysing the mind into parts, and clearly specifying the role of each part and its interaction with other parts. It then makes predictions of how people would behave in a given situation based on these models - predictions that often achieve startling levels of accuracy, over a wide range of scenarios. The field is now mature enough that the architectures are routinely used by some psychologists to explain the results of their experiments, and the architectures are also used in technology as a basis for robot cognition or for computer game AI characters.

Do you sometimes feel like you're not in control of your emotions? If so, you're not alone. Emotional mind management is a term used to describe the process of understanding and managing emotions. In this week's episode of The Hack, Our hosts Leon and Paul, along with guest host Sam Cawley are joined by Glenn Mead - a coaching psychologist who specialises in the neuroscience of decision making. Glenn explains how emotional mind management can help us get the better out of ourselves and other people and talks about the importance of accepting our emotions. EMOTIONAL MIND MANAGEMENT Glenn Mead is currently a Coaching Psychologist and Director of Face Value Performance Psychology Limited. He specialises in individual and organisational performance at all levels, using techniques and approaches grounded in neuroscience and occupational psychology. With services ranging from individual executive coaching, and small group facilitation to masterclass workshops and keynote talks, he aims to help clients to improve effectiveness and efficiency through team engagement and retention, reduced stress, and increased resilience, communication and leadership. Glenn has previously worked with Steve Peter's company Chimp Management Limited as the Director of Corporate Programmes. His role was to help improve performance and change organisational settings for big companies, Supermarkets, NHS etc., by explaining how to use emotional mind management to get the better out of yourself and other people. Building on the “Chimp paradox” developed by Prof Steve Peters in “The Mind Management”, Glenn compares the independent emotions of our “inner chimp” generated within the limbic system of the brain that leads to an initial uncontrolled emotion or reaction with the executive, logical and learned responses that come from the frontal cortex. It is essential to recognise, know and “reflect” on your “natural” CHIMP, what triggers it, know your reaction and be prepared to articulate and control it. He knows how to communicate with employees and, during the podcast, explains that "it's normal to have emotions. If you can understand where they're gonna come from and what the triggers are, then you can work out your options. When you're in a calm mind, you'll be better off when the moment does happen. And it's important to accept it and accept that's the way we are; we are human beings-We do get emotional." To get the better out of ourselves, we need to understand and manage our emotions; this is where emotional mind management comes in. Emotional mind management is a process that helps us to understand our emotions and how they affect us so that we can control them instead of them controlling us. Full Blog - Think Cloud

On this week's episode of ScaleUp Radio, I speak to Helen Bower from Adder Bookkeeping. If you listen to some of the panel discussions that we've had in the past you might already be familiar with Helen's voice - but we've never heard about her particular journey before. Helen started Adder Bookkeeping after doing a degree in Languages and found herself working in Exports. In 2000, life took a hand and she discovered a love of bookkeeping - and Adder Bookkeeping was born. It's clear from our conversation that Helen is such a fun, lively character - but that doesn't detract from the fact that she is a passionate, committed business owner who has her clients and her team at the heart of everything that she does. As always, there is plenty to take away from this episode, and we covered an awful lot of subjects including: - What the one question is that you should ask yourself before setting up your own business. - The difference between doing a profession as part of a company - and making that profession, that role, the root of your own business - The process that changed the business into one that works only in cloud accounting. - How social media isn't just there for marketing, it can be used for successful recruitment too! Don't worry if you're not a bookkeeper, an accountant or work in finance - there's an awful lot in this conversation with Helen that will help you and your business, no matter what industry you're in.

How the Brain Learns is one of the first books I bought about education, all the way back in summer of 2014. It sat on my shelf for seven years before I finally got round to reading it. Now, with the benefit of knowledge gained from so many years of investigation, it is much less impressive to me than it would have been when I started. After introducing some basics of brain anatomy, the author starts to describe learning, covering a lot of ground that we've already seen in this podcast in a generally acceptably accurate way. As usual for books about learning with "brain" in the title, it feels as though this word is maintained largely for the purposes of hype, as references to brains in this book, as in others, do little to help us understand the nature of learning. The book does have several important flaws, most striking of which is the author's apparent lack of understanding of the concept of working memory, perhaps the most important learning concept to grasp. The author seems to think that cramming for a test only keeps information in working memory and doesn't allow for transfer to long-term memory, which suggests that crammers have miraculous working memories that can hold far in excess of the pruported limit 2-7 items of information, and that they hold this information in there for days (presumably there is nothing they can divert their attention to in the meantime). How the Brain Learns does contain a few interesting nuggets, and there are a number of ideas that it explains more or less correctly. This puts it way above its apparent cousin Brain-based Learning, put still far behind Why Don't Students Like School? and other books on this podcast for helping us understand how learning works. I do not recommend it, but I've seen worse. Enjoy the episode. ### RELATED EPISODES 53. Brain-based Learning by Eric Jensen - a similar, though considerably worse, book about learning and brains. 79. What learning is - about the modal model of memory (cognitive architecture: working memory and long-term memory), the most important thing I've learned in six and a half years of researching this stuff. 85. Why Don't Students Like School? by Dan Willingham - the classic cognitive science book for teachers. 80. The Chimp Paradox by Prof Steve Peters - a model very similar to the modal model of memory.
In today's episode, we go through the Chimp Paradox by Prof Steve Peters. This book characterises your mind and its processes in evocative bizarre ways.Topics include; Taking control of your Chimp, How you are not your feelings, The Computer, then a summary of the Chimp, the Human and the Computer.Whether reading that made any sense or not, you're in for a treat.Enjoy!

On this episode of ScaleUp Radio, we’ll be hearing from Ann Robinson of Henwick Vets. Ann started the practise in 2013 after spending 20 years working for another vet. The business has grown significantly in the past 7 years and, as you’ll hear, there is potential for the business to scale up even further. One of things that stands out in this conversation - and Ann freely admits it herself - she isn’t a natural business person. Everything has been a learning curve for her - she has brought her work ethic and expertise in the veterinary business, and everything else has been learned. Ann’s story is a fascinating one, but we still manage to cover an awful lot of ground, including: - Calculating your rates on what you think the client *should* pay, rather than what you think they *would* pay - The effort that’s needed to make your business a workplace that people want to be in. So, having a good work culture - but making it fun too. - The benefits of having an HR consultant and a solicitor on a retainer What is so admirable about Ann, and this comes across in our conversation, is her desire to do right by her staff and her customers. As always, there is plenty to take away for any level and size of business owner.

"I have been in situations in the workplace where it was just a toxic environment. How do we protect workers from entering into that type of scenario? How do we help companies to make better decisions when it comes to hiring to help them to retain staff, to create a better and more collaborative environment. But also how do we match?" "How do you find that match between a person and an organisation?" Aoife O'Brien Are you happy at work? In this week's episode Aoife and I explore the concept of happiness at work - globally only about 15% of people claim to be fully engaged at work. We talk about the shift that is going on in workplaces towards the knowledge that you can actually do something that you really enjoy and feel the sense of contribution to the world as well. We discuss the importance of understanding your values. We talk about bullying, toxic workplaces, imposter syndrome and psychological safety. Aoife shares many stories from her own career. She also talks about her recent dissertation on workplace fit and in particular we discuss the concepts of autonomy, relatedness and competency. Aoife O'Brien has 20+ years of identifying and solving business problems in a global context. She helps companies to drive productivity and profitability through people analytics. Aoife believes that everyone deserves to be happier at work and that this can be done by increasing overall 'fit' in the workplace - understanding work culture and hiring for that culture. She is based in Dublin, Ireland, and works online with people all over the world.

Hey Everyone,Welcome to episode nine of the Two Coach Confidence podcast. Our aim with this podcast is to bring fun and interesting guests from all areas and walks of life to share their knowledge, stories and experiences of this mystical and subjective topic we refer to as confidence.In today's episode we have a first on the show, not only do we have two guests joining us, but the guests are brothers. Mark and Rob both have a great deal of experience when it comes to working with the topic of confidence. Mark is currently the Head Coach of Loughborough University Men's Basketball, Assistant Coach of Leicester Riders, Assistant Coach of Great Britain U20 Men's Basketball Team, and a Loughborough University Coach Developer.Rob has played an instrumental role as a PE Specialist working on the development of a programme called Sport Education, which led to him being asked to speak at a number of conferences to share his work. During his 10 years at Loughborough College creating a number of high profile elite athlete programmes, Rob was recognised for his outstanding work and contribution to the college and students alike. In this episode,We dive straight into asking each of the brothers to share their definitions of confidence and how those definitions have changed over time.Rob shares his thoughts on how confidence is a very complex part of being a human and how he believes it can fluctuate.The conversation moves into discussing how powerful confidence can be whilst at the same time is something that has a very real sense of fragility about it.Mark beautifully articulates how understanding what confidence MEANS to somebody is crucial in order to be able help them. We take a brief journey into emotional intelligence, and the relevance that understanding your emotions has on confidence.We discuss how protecting your joy has a HUGE part to play in creating more confidence and how comparison is the biggest thief of joy.We look at something we've not covered before, and that's the potential to be overconfident caused by people constantly telling you you're great even when you're not!Rob and Mark talk us through how it's common for people to give their power away which leads to giving their confidence away, even before an event has happened.We look at how overthinking about a situation, building it up to be much more than it is, can actually deconstruct our confidence.What an episode! There is so much wonderful content and dialogue for you to think about in this episode. Kerry and I were literally fizzing with energy for days after. The dynamic and energy of having four coach's all with different experiences, beliefs and understanding was fantastic. We explored a lot, so much so that Kerry and I have invited Mark and Rob back for a part two.

Mendengar kata kata rutinitas, mungkin kita langsung tidak enak badan. Namun, jangan salah sangka dulu, rutinitas mempunyai peran terhadap kondisi orang yang mudah stres. Prof Steve Peters penulis buku The Chimp Paradox menuliskan pentingnya sebuah rutinitas, saat mood ada di pagi hari selalu berantakan.

This is a book with a terrible title and wonderful ideas. Isn't there a saying about not judging the quality of a publication's contents by the attractiveness of its external design? Many famous athletes credit Steve Peters with being essential to their success, including footballer Steven Gerard and rower Sir Chris Hoy. This book summarises his ideas in a way that makes them accessible to everyone. Our minds are modular. Sometimes we are "at war with ourselves" or we "don't know why we did something". There are different parts inside us that sometimes cooperate and sometimes clash. Professor Steve Peters goes into a detailed description of the three elements of the psychological mind: the Chimp, the Human, and the Computer. He then goes on to explain their interactions, the ways in which their misbehaviours can cause problems in our everyday lives, and how to deal with it. Understanding these three elements will, for the first time in your life, give you a fully working model of how your mind works (and how the minds of others work), as well as a way of thinking about what to do when things go wrong. One thing that strikes me about this model is how compatible it is with the information processing model of the mind and cognitive load theory, which are based on splitting the mind into two parts: working memory and long-term memory. It seems as though working memory is approximately the same thing as the Human, long-term memory is the Computer, and the Chimp is the emotional centre, which is not included in the information processing model. (The information processing model seeks to simplify thinking down to just its non-emotional elements.) Understanding the mind in this way is invaluable to people trying to understand learning. I hope you find this book as insightful as I have. Enjoy the episode.

Episode 22 discusses why there's a need to support black and minority owned businesses. Additionally, we debate on whether we'd support it regardless of the level customer service we receive. Daniel highlights an important point that living in the West, do we expect a Western level of customer service and therefore construe certain 'cultures' as a lesser level of customer service? Finally, Olu's book review starts with him asking us "are you a chimp?". Tune in to find out what he meant by that and what are answers led to. 1.

What Would Gavan Do? This is what you should be asking yourself if you want to be like the Speed Mentor, Gavan Wall. In this episode, learn how you can develop an unstoppable mindset just like any successful entrepreneur. Discover the infinite possibilities that can happen when you know what to control what comes in your subconscious mind. It's time to master the art of not letting yourself drown with resentment, fears, doubts, and rejections! Surround yourself with the right kind of stuff which will influence you to do better and to always aim for personal development. And lastly, don't forget to drop a review of this (and/or the other episodes) of The Speed Mentor Podcast. The first six listeners who send a screenshot to Gavan through his social media or email gets a copy of The Chimp Paradox by Prof Steve Peters! KEY TAKEAWAYS Your subconscious mind is your memory bank. Whatever happens in your life is stored in it, so what you should do is to take control of what you take in – the good stuff. The subconscious mind dictates what your behaviour, your attitude, or your reaction towards whatever is happening right now. Learn patterns with purpose. If you have bad habits, then most likely, you won't ever have improvements. Get committed to feeding your mind with the right stuff. For Gavan, he has to cut off the time he spends consuming news about politics and so on from his daily routine. It became very toxic and has not benefitted his personal development. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself every day. Explore more resources, interact more with people, and take a leap on every opportunity. BEST MOMENTS “If you don't challenge your mind, it won't stretch. If you don't nourish your mind, it won't grow. If you don't educate your mind, it won't develop.” “All your habits of thought and actions are stored in your subconscious mind; it memorises them.” “Complacency is the great enemy of creativity and future possibilities.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Chimp Paradox by Prof Steve Peters More info on Speed Mentor Retreat (May 18-19, 2019) at com ABOUT THE HOST Welcome to the Speed Mentor Podcast.
