It's a bit of a ramble through the seed sowing and planting out of the early season as Mike and Al catch up on their recent efforts. The second segment comes with our usual health warning: listening may lead to expanding your plans beyond your original scope.
Rob Law MBE is the mastermind behind Trunki, the ultimate ride-on suitcase sensation for kids. Rob's ride on the entrepreneurial roller coaster has taken him from the jaws of rejection on BBC Dragons' Den in 2006 to leading a squad that's completely redefined the world of kiddo travel gear. Since then, he's been on fire crafting innovative solutions that are like magic wands for families on the move.Since Trunki (Magmatic) rolled onto the scene in May 2006, over 4 million of these sweet suitcases have zoomed their way to more than 100 countries. Parents the world over have forked over a whopping $200 million to hop on the Trunki bandwagon. But skyrocketing to popularity comes at a price–Trunki's design was copied by another brand. The dispute ended up in court, and things didn't quite go Rob's way. On this episode of Sound Advice: Entrepreneurs Unfiltered, Rob lifts the lid on how to protect your product, and what it's like to have copycats come after your design, take it to court, and end up on the wrong side of the verdict.

In this episode, Gavin talks to James Burtt, the founder of the Ultimate Podcast Group, and the man behind the legendary Building The Brand podcast. James is multiple iTunes Top 50 Podcaster, a certified performance coach, and has helped hundreds of clients to build their own brand through podcasting and media training. James talks about how he has grown his podcasting empire, how it can benefit businesses and individuals seeking to develop their brand, and how to make your podcast stand out from the rest! KEY TAKEAWAYS There is no substitute for experience. Coming from a broadcasting background, James found the transition to podcasting a natural one. New podcasters take a long time to learn the techniques that broadcasters already know. The coaching space is too crowded with people who promise much but who cannot deliver. When selecting a guide for yourself, look to the people with a proven track record. We discover our worth when we create a service that benefits others. In James’ case, his podcasting expertise add tremendous financial value, allows freedom and changes lives. There is nothing wrong with following a trend. Many have joined the podcasting space to build their brand. The mistake being made is that they are not doing anything different or iterative. Look for ways to stand out! BEST MOMENTS ‘A coach, a mentor or an expert is only as good as the results they can help the client to get’ ‘I understand that a business is there to make money’ ‘I help people to create revenue-generating, ROI-inducing podcasts!’ ‘Podcasting was the catalyst for me changing my whole world' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Business Mastermind Podcast Get your copy of Survive And Thrive NOW at https://www.surviveandthrive.cc Keep Your Boat Afloat - https://www.survivetothrive.biz/keep-afloat ABOUT THE GUEST James Burtt is a multiple iTunes Top 50 Podcaster, a certified Performance Coach and having launched 100+ podcasts for clients, an in-demand Media Trainer.

Stevie was slumped on the living room sofa when his mum and dad returned home from the shops. Their raised voices drowned out the old gangster movie on the TV. “It’s junk,” Stevie’s mum snapped. “No it’s not,” his dad retorted, “it’s an antique. And a bargain. Only 30 quid!” Stevie slid down the sofa.The Cat in the Trunk is a short story from TallAndTrue.com, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead. At the end of the episode, Robert provides a writer’s insight into the story, which he wrote for a competition in England in the early 1990s. The show notes include links to The Cat in the Trunk on Tall And True and the podcast's theme music and sound effects.Support the podcast: supporter.acast.com/tall-and-true-short-readsWriter’s Insight into The Cat in the TrunkI wrote The Cat in the Trunk for a writing competition in England in the early 1990s. The short story had to be 2000-3000 words long and based on the theme Curiosity Saved the Cat.I was (and remain) fascinated by the possibilities of space-time travel, whether it be real-world, hypothetical or the stuff of dreams. Looking at my original notes, I borrowed the old travel trunk from another plot idea. In that one, the boy was transported to different places by polishing its exotic stickers. He cleaned the dust off a sphinx sticker, hopped in the trunk and ended up in Cairo.For The Cat in the Trunk, I added Stevie’s arguing parents, the gangsters and, of course, the curious cat. And though I left the dusty stickers on the trunk, they no longer set the travel destination.Did Stevie dream about Jerry and Daphne after watching the old movie on TV? Or did he travel inside the trunk to the gangster’s hotel room, in the same way as Tom-Tom had escaped to the shed? I’ll leave that to your imagination.I hope you enjoyed The Cat in the Trunk as much as Stevie enjoyed finding Tom-Tom in it.

The Trunki needs little introduction; since its invention in 2006 over 4 million of the animal-shaped ride-on suitcases have been sold and it has become a design classic. What many people don't know is that the majority of the Trunkis have been made in the UK since 2012. Rob Law MBE is the founder of Trunki. He was born with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease which killed his twin sister at the age of 15. Rob’s illness, and the death of his sister, played a large part in his determination to make the absolute most of his life, and it is this determination that I am sure has helped to contribute a lot to the success of Trunki. What you'll discover in this episode: - Rob's background and design education - How the design of the Trunki came about - The false start the company had and how Rob overcame it - The challenges that Trunki had with manufacturing in China - Why Rob decided to reshore the production of a the Trunki to the UK - The Trunki's infamous Dragon's Den appearance - The importance of design and understanding your customer - Why you should iterate your ideas - How a mentor helped him learn essential business and leadership skills - The challenges of running your own factory About Trunki Trunki Website 65 Roses and a Trunki: Defying the Odds in Life and Business - Rob's Book I’d highly recommend reading Rob's inspiring book.

"When faced with personal challenges and business challenges, it's going to take a lot of energy to overcome them. So why not use that energy wisely and focus on the things you can influence and forget about the stuff you can't?" Rob Law, aka Trunki Daddy, has faced more personal and business challenges than most. In this conversation he talks about living with cystic fibrosis (or '65 roses', as children often put it), his extraordinary journey as an entrepreneur, and the power of writing as a way of sense-making personally and professionally. Inspiring, challenging, and, as you'd expect from the Trunki Daddy, huge fun.
Rob Law MBE, is the founder and CEO of Trunki, a ride on suitcase for young kids which launched in 2006. Trunki has been trading for over 14 years and in that time has sold over 4 million items worldwide. His rejection from Dragons Den is one of the most famous.

Na co należy zwrócić uwagę podczas podróży z dzieckiem. Podróży z dzieckiem samolotem. Czy warto w ogóle? Z Soraiyą podróżujemy odkąd skończyła 4 miesiące życia. Szkoda, że nagrywać z podróży zaczęłam tak niedawno... Byliśmy z nią już wielokrotnie w Polsce rzecz jasna ;) dwukrotnie w Indiach, raz w Stanach (NY), w Singapurze, Indonezji, Tajlandji, Turcji, na Sri Lance, we Włoszech, na Węgrzech, wielokrotnie w Niemczech, Hiszpanii, UAE i w Taipei, choć tu akurat to tylko na lotnisku... i na pewno o czymś znów zapomniałam... Odkąd skończyła 2 lata, wraz z niestety płatnymi już dla niej biletami, przystąpiła do programu frequent traveler linii lotniczych :P Zbieramy wszystkie jej karty pokładowe do specjalnego kartonika. Kiedyś je policzę ;) Póki co czas pomyśleć nad wznowieniem jej paszportu, bo i miejsca zaczyna brakować na wizy, a i po zdjęciu już ją trudno rozpoznać, co mi ostatnio dobitnie dała do zrozumienia pani kontrolująca paszport gdy wracając z Niemiec opuszczałyśmy strefę Schengen.

I really enjoyed shooting this pod with Rob. I hope you enjoy it and pick up some useful ideas from the content. As always, please let me have your feedback... Reece
Absolutely honoured to have Rob Law MBE on my podcast this week, the inventor of Trunki. I knew Rob in the very early days of the Trunki journey when I sold them in my company, Truly Madly Baby. Trixie and Terrance went down a storm and were best sellers. I shouted at the TV when Rob was thrown out of the Dragons' Den and I now smile and celebrate that today he runs an extremely successful and inspirational business. I loved our catch up where you get a taste of the magical Trunki journey, but don't underestimate how determined and driven Rob has been and the adversity he has overcome to get to where he is today. A real inspiration and delighted to have had him on my podcast. Follow Trunki here... https://www.instagram.com/trunkitravels/ https://twitter.com/trunki https://www.facebook.com/TrunkiTravels/

Thank you! ::: The Family Home Exchange Marta Correale is originally from Rome, but resides in Ireland with her husband and two kids. They live, work and go to school in Dublin, but travel regularly through family home exchange. What's a family home exchange? It's exactly what it sounds like: two families in different parts of the world switch their houses for a set period of time. Everyone gets free accommodation and a new way of seeing the world. We've talked about home swaps before. A family home exchange is the same thing. Typical Family Home Exchange Questions As you might expect, the idea of letting strangers stay in your home while you're away is quite disconcerting to some people. When ideas like this come up, many people ask questions like "Isn't that a risk?" or "Aren't you afraid?" It's true that a family home exchange is not for everyone, says Marta, but for her family, it's been a fantastic way to explore the world with their kids. A family home exchange is built on mutual trust, she says. After all, in most cases, you're in their house at the same time as they're in yours. This "mutual vulnerability" is something that she's accustomed to, and they've never had problems. How to Do a Family Home Exchange In our conversation, Marta explains many of the steps they go through to do a family home exchange: from pre-trip research to preparing their home before they leave. She also relays a few tips on where to find family home swap partners, setting up your family home exchange profile and how to interact with potential house exchange partners.

Dragons' Den: it's nerve-wracking enough if you get investment - but what happens if you're rejected? We're joined by Trunki founder Rob Law, who was spectacularly rejected by the Dragons but whose product has gone on to become a ubiquitous sight in airports everywhere, and Kirsty Henshaw, whose business, Kirsty's, got backing from Peter Jones and Duncan Bannatyne. They discuss what happened behind the scenes on the Den - and whether publicity alone is enough to make the grueling pitch worth it.
