In this episode, Joel, and Andy share their top marketing and mindset tips, for 2023. Tips, techniques, and strategies you can use to give yourself an edge. They cover investing in yourself in different ways to set yourself up for success, mindset, branding, reaching your audience, keeping them engaged, making sales and much more. KEY TAKEAWAYS The most successful people set themselves long-term goals. You can't succeed if you are stuck in the micro. A to-do list is not a goal-setting tool. It's just a to-do list. You need a long-term goal, the steps you need to take, and when by. If you don´t nurture your email list, it will die. You need good titles, regular emails, and offers that your subscribers actually want. Get 8 hours of sleep each night and exercise and/or walk 10,000 steps. Social platforms come and go so do algorithms, but the principles of marketing never do. Use them for whatever you do. If your branding is high quality, you will attract more quality clients. Use the fundamentals of design in your branding. Do whatever it takes, within your values. BEST MOMENTS ‘Have a clear 12-month goal, broken down into 90-day actionable game plans. ´ ‘So, if you're not prepared to send an email of interested in value to your database, at least once a fortnight, don't bother or get asked.' ‘Remember market, message, media.'   EPISODE RESOURCES Get a ticket for the next available Stay Hungry Live Event - https://tickets.stayhungrylive.com/ Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker / https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-We-Sleep-Science-Dreams-ebook/dp/B06Y649387/     VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.fixmymarketing.co.uk/ The Codebreak Club: https://www.facebook.com/groups/codebreakclub/about/ Stay Hungry podcast series Stay Hungry Bestselling Book Marketing coaching: www.andyandjoel.com Done-for-you marketing: www.codebreak.co.uk     If you're fed up with wasting your time and money on marketing that doesn't generate enquiries and sales - hop on a Codebreak discovery call.   After all, getting lots of 'likes' on your Facebook page ain't gonna make your boat go faster.

This week Dawn and Alex discuss energy. This includes the energy you feed yourself, how you get more energy, but also how you spend your energy. With self care, socialising, yoga, exercise, sleep and breath work as just a few of the topics covered on this episode, it certainly offers a lot of food for thought.

Welcome back to Let's Talk Health with Mairi! This is episode 30!! I have been doing the podcast for almost 7 months! Can you believe it?! A little bit of a change of plan for this week's podcast (find out more in the podcast). This week I'll be doing the book review of ''Why We Sleep?" by Matthew Walker. A fascinating and incredibly important book educating us on the importance of sleep. I wanted to get this information out to you and fast as it is vital. Jacob will be coming on next week to talk about AMFMH and the ironman he completed last Sunday! If you struggle to sleep or want to learn more about sleep and how to improve it, this podcast is for you! You will be shocked and fascinated by what Walker discusses in this book. Sleep and most importantly good quality sleep is fundamental for good health and living a long, healthy life. Link to by this book ( I would highly recommend reading this in full - there is so much amazing facts and discussions in this book.)  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-We-Sleep-Science-Dreams/dp/0141983760/ref=asc_df_0141983760/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310834580283&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10401039924029548272&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1007358&hvtargid=pla-395333668264&psc=1&th=1&psc=1Get in touch with me :)Email: gardnermairi12345@gmail.comInstagram: mazzag57 The 12 Steps for Healthy Sleep (for your reference - screenshot or copy to help you with your sleep): 1. Stick to a sleep schedule.  Go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. We have a hard time adjusting to different sleep times and this can impair your sleep. 2. Exercise is amazing but not before bed or late in the day. It is important to get at least 30 minutes of exercise every day but no later than 2-3 hours before bed. 3. Avoid caffeine and nicotine. These substances are stimulants and will impair your sleep.4. Avoid alcohol or drink in moderation and not before bed. This can result in lighter sleep and less REM sleep.5. Avoid large meals or beverages before bed. This can interfere with sleep and cause frequent waking throughout the night. 6. If possible, avoid medications that delay or disrupt sleep. Speak to your doctor. 7. Don't take naps after 3 pm. Naps are great but not before 3 pm as it may disrupt your sleep later on.8. Relax before bed. 9. Take a hot bath. This can help reduce your body temperature which is necessary for sleep.10. Dark bedroom, cool bedroom and a gadget free bedroom. 11. The right sunlight exposure. Daylight is essential to healthy sleep. Get plenty of daylight during the day. When the sun goes down limit light exposure, especially LED powered lights. Listen to podcast for more tips. 12. Don't lie in bed awake. I discuss these steps in more detail at the end of the podcast. Thank you so much for listening :) Mairi 

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to reflect on important aspects of mental health, work to alleviate its burden, and reduce the stigma associated with mental health problems. After an unprecedented year in critical care with the COVID-19 pandemic, these topics are more relevant than ever. In this episode of Critical Matters, we will discuss the topic of clinician well-being. We will discuss the impact of COVID-19 on clinician well-being, the relationship of burnout with mental health, and end with a focus on some actionable steps within our control to promote clinician well-being.

Why should you look to get sleep? How does it benefit you in terms of resilience and immunity? Leanne goes through 5 reasons why. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Why sleep should be your first line of defence Key Takeaways: At any point in the year, under any circumstance, resilience and immunity are two things we should be concerned about. Resilience -- from a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual sense, and immunity -- to life’s hardships, the challenges, the rigours of daily life, and specifically to the viruses, infections, and the various illnesses that can sometimes befall u Thinking about the next phase of recovery and coming back to the office has put greater emphasis on the need to have good immunity. 5 reasons why sleep should be your first line of defence: When we sleep, we produce cytokines, which protect us against inflammation and infection. Sleep can help flush out various systems of the body. Sleep is anabolic. The process of sleep not only helps us with growth and repair, but it’s when we download the day’s activities, consolidate learning, and lay down memories. Sleep is linked with energy Action Steps: Get a solid night of sleep (7-8 hours). Introduce a few, little steps into your daily routine that’ll help you get better sleep. Look after your gut: Personalise your diet. Minimise stressors. Manage your stress levels. Have a regimen of prebiotics and probiotics.

Are you having sleep issues? Giles Watkins shares insights from his book Positive Sleep and talks about what triggered his own sleep issues and how he overcame them to become the sleep expert he is today. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode.   Topics Discussed in this Episode: What prompted Giles to write a book about sleep How sleep issues impact health and fitness The link between diet and exercise and sleep Why people don't prioritize or give enough value to sleep Good habits around sleep Good sleep discipline or sleep hygiene for children Sleep and performance for leaders Sleep in the workplace Tips to sleep better   Key Takeaways: There's been very little education about the benefits of sleep that people think it's something almost disposable. Naps taken at the right time of day for the right amount of time can really help you if you're having sleep problems. Your higher-order mental skills are extremely well-benefited by a good night's sleep. The reverse is also true. If you sleep poorly, your executive functions are affected much more so than your physical functions. There are four areas in terms of leadership behaviour that get affected when you don't get good sleep: Results orientation Problem-solving Seeking different perspectives Supporting others   Action Steps: Practice mindfulness techniques that can help you sleep better. Caffeine interferes with the natural system around sleep, so reduce if not completely cut off your caffeine intake. Teach your kids good sleeping habits and instill sleep hygiene. Keep phones and tablets away from your kids before they go to bed as well as first thing in the morning. Take Epsom salt baths.   Giles said: "[Naps] are more than just a sticking plaster, they genuinely can help you." "Before long, the impact of short sleeping and the dangers of it for people driving will be even more lethal than alcohol-related driving incidents."   Thanks for listening!   If you're interested in finding out what your health IQ is, take the Health IQ test to find out, and get a free 39-page report built around our six signals, which are sleep, mental health, energy, body composition, digestion, and fitness.   If you've enjoyed what you've heard on this episode and it's added value to you, share the episode with someone you think could benefit from it.

What kind of relationship does burnout have with resilience? In many aspects of my professional life, burnout comes up as a subject. And closely linked to that is resilience. In this episode, I talk about what is resilience and how we can be more resilient.   Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode.   Topics Discussed in this Episode: The definitions of resilience What causes a lack of resilience The 9 causes of depression and anxiety The importance of sleep The sleep staircase How to develop better resilience What makes a resilient human being   Key Takeaways: Two official definitions of resilience: It is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. It is the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape or elasticity. For Leanne, resilience is the ability to recover from stresses and challenges, both anticipated and unanticipated. It's your fitness for the rigors of daily life. What causes a lack of resilience and depression and anxiety in society now is that we've become incredibly disconnected from important things. The 9 causes of depression and anxiety: Disconnection from meaningful work Disconnection from other people Disconnection from meaningful values Disconnection from childhood trauma Disconnection from status and respect Disconnection from the natural world Disconnection from a hopeful or secure future Changes in the genes Changes in the brain When you have a good foundation of sleep behind you, it's easier to go out and do the things that you want to do or need to do to stay resilient. It's a fact that 99.99% of people need between 7 and 8 hours of sleep each night. Having a good social network, from a mental health perspective, is going to be critical for your resilience. If you have good levels of energy and you're clear on how you can pace or ration that energy out, that's going to be key for resilience.   Action Steps: Make sure you get enough sleep and have good quality sleep. Look after your mental health. Practice meditation. Incorporate lots of low-level movement throughout the day. Eat a diet that is personalised to you so you're not getting causes of inflammation through poor food choices. Make sure you've got really strong social connections. Maintain good energy levels Gets lots of access to natural light. Make sure you're not sitting for prolonged periods and that you're out and about more often. Make sure that you're regularly moving your body in the way it's designed to. Practice heartfulness. Get into your discomfort zone.   Leanne said: "I think resilience could also be defined as personal sustainability. To what degree have you got the tools that enable you to cope with the pressures of daily life, the rigors of daily life?"   "When you get yourself into your discomfort zone, remarkable things happen. You demonstrate to yourself what you can achieve, you push past all your barriers, you defy what other people think you can achieve as well. And you develop enormous amounts of energy and strength from that."   Thanks for listening!   If you're interested in finding out what your health IQ is, take the  Health IQ test to find out, and get a free 39-page report built around our six signals, which are sleep, mental health, energy, body composition, digestion, and fitness.   If you've enjoyed what you've heard on this episode and it's added value to you, share the episode with someone you think could benefit from it.

How can you use your DNA as a tool to unpick some of the guesswork around what type of diet suits you and what type of exercise is best for you? Let’s deep dive into a personalised approach to health, fitness, and wellbeing by taking a look at our unique DNA. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: What is the DNA test and why you should be keen to take it How I transformed my diet What happens when you’re carbohydrate-sensitive Sensitivity to salt, caffeine, and alcohol The upshot of having a personalized diet Key Takeaways: It’s when you lose weight very slowly that it’s sustainable because you’re just making little lifestyle changes, and once they’re embedded in you, you move to the next one. Someone who has celiac disease cannot have any gluten in their diet. Sensitivity to alcohol is not about how much you can drink alcohol or how well you process alcohol in terms of a hangover.  It’s about your sensitivity to alcohol in relation to cholesterol and whether you’re a fast or a slow metaboliser of alcohol. It’s prudent to be careful of sources of food that contain salt, but we’re now understanding that salt is not necessarily the culprit behind hypertension. Antioxidants help combat free radicals, which are cell-damaging molecules. A study has shown that increasing your portions of vegetables by just two and a half gives you extraordinary benefits in terms of reduced mortality. Action Steps: Remove some of the guesswork around your health, fitness, and wellbeing by taking the DNA test. Be mindful of how much salt you consume. Consume foods that are rich in antioxidants. Take a vitamin D3 test and see where your levels are at. Increase your portions of vegetables by two and a half. Leanne said: “It’s always best, I think, to do whatever you can to take the guesswork out of health. If you can do a simple little blood test to find our what your D3 levels are, do it before your supplement… Vitamin D3 toxicity does exist.” “The DNA is my genetic blueprint for good health. The blood gives me some real-time information about what’s going on.” Thanks for listening!

Welcome to episode 36, where our focus on productivity continues - this time, looking another of our core principles: play. This represents everything we do to recover and disengage from work and represents a useful complement to the ‘Pillars of Productivity’ we’ve covered in recent episodes. We also have a great interview with Dr. Ciara Kelly, exploring the role of our hobbies and passions outside of work. Play includes getting good quality sleep, engaging in meaningful non-work activities and whatever else we need to do to recharge our batteries and return to work enthused and refreshed. We covered the importance of sleep back in episode 18 of the podcast. But in this context Play means so much more. Remember when we discussed the importance of priorities how you’ll use your limited time, attention and energy in the various roles in life you have? Play is about ensuring you have something in the tank left for your non-work pursuits and responsibilities. As ever, there are no simple rules here, except to experiment and explore what works for you. So when it comes to play: think about how you manage your non-work life and its roles; consider how you both recover from work but also effectively dis-engage from work activities; think also about the application of your values so that you can make the time for what's really important to you. This comes back to understanding Purpose and Priorities.

This episode picks up the Emotion at Work in Stories theme I started earlier this year. This time it is with Karen Teago (@teago_emplaw) as my guest, we take a trip into how depression has been a part of her life for 15 years. I asked Karen to be on the podcast as she wrote a blog a few years ago (https://teagohr.wordpress.com/2017/10/10/this-is-what-it-looks-like/) and it affected me then and still does now.  Depresssion is one of the things that is both talked about and not talked about all at the same time.  With Karen being willing to be open and frank about her experiences it was important to me that I create a place and space to allow a depth of exploration of the topic.   This is a frank and honest episode and our conversation lasted for nearly an hour and twenty minutes so there is a lot to listen to.  If you are affected by anything in this episode then there are support options open to you: The Samaritans can be contacted here https://www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help-you or call them on 116 123 (it is free)  Mind can be contacted here https://www.mind.org.uk/information-support/helplines/ You can also call the NHS on 111 or make an appointment with your local GP Karen is happy to chat and you can find her on @teago_emplaw I am happy to listen and you can find me here or @philwillcox We explore her experiences with depression as a condition, with medication, with post natal depression, the important area of disclosure and how guilt has been a part of her experience too.  I (maybe unfairly) ask Karen for any advice or suggestions if anything in the podcast resonates with you and I add my thoughts too. At one point Karen talks about how she became aware of her condition by reading a case she was working on.    After we recorded the episode she found this paragraph from 'Notes on a Nervous Planet' by Matt Haig (@matthaig1) that she felt better explained her experience: "Later, doctors would offer labels.  'Panic disorder', 'generalised anxiety disorder' and 'depression'.  These labels were worrying, but also important, because they gave me something to work with.  They stopped me feeling like an alien.  I was a human being with human illnesses, which other humans have had - millions and millions of humans - and most of them had either overcome their illnesses or had somehow managed to live with them.  Even after I knew the names of the illnesses I had, I believed they were all stemming from inside me.  They were just there, the way the grand canyon was just there"  Here's a link to the full book - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Notes-Nervous-Planet-Matt-Haig/dp/1786892677 With this being a Stories episode there aren’t many references as such. There are some things we talk about and here are the links to those things: The unexpected yet innocuous question came from Margaret Burnside @margaretburnsid The book on sleep Karen references is https://www.amazon.co.uk/Why-We-Sleep-Science-Dreams/dp/0241269067 The Mind Website with details for resources for Corporate partners https://www.mind.org.uk/search-results?q=guidelines%20for%20corporate%20partners More information for breastfeeding and taking medication https://www.breastfeeding-and-medication.co.uk/  

What is it like to witness an intensivist struggle?   And what can we learn from the shocking death of an intensivist?   This special Mastering Intensive Care episode is on a difficult and important topic. Rather than focusing on bringing our best selves to work, the focus of this episode is the ultimate tragedy of our profession, doctor suicide. I warn you that this is a sad and confronting story about the troubling situation intensivist Richard Harding went through, including dealing with a mental health condition as well as a medical complaint made against him, before ultimately taking his own life 8 months ago in New Zealand. Richard’s death is still under investigation by the New Zealand Coroner and the findings as to the final cause and circumstances of his death have not been released. In this podcast, his wife, Kate Harding, describes her observations and perspectives on what happened to Richard. I didn’t know Richard. I only came to know of his death when Kate wrote a blog piece in the British Medical Journal. It was sad and it was moving. When she published another article in the Guardian two months later, I figured that whilst Kate was grieving as she dealt with the aftermath of a serious life crisis, she wanted to tell her story to help others. Kate grew up in Brussels, went to medical school in Glasgow, and has worked all over the UK as well as in Australia and in New Zealand. She is primarily a hospice doctor, but also works part-time as a GP. Kate also enjoys writing and her engrossing articles are linked below. Richard and Kate emigrated to New Zealand with their teenage children in 2016 but after his untimely death in October 2017, Kate and her children have returned to the UK. She has a strong interest in mental health, as well as in doctors’ wellbeing, with a particular focus on the General Medical Council complaints procedure. Kate tells us that Richard’s depression and subsequent death were in large part triggered by the stress of going through his first ever GMC complaint, despite being completely exonerated from any wrongdoing. Kate and her children are adjusting to their new life back in Britain, while missing Richard desperately, as well as their community in Whangarei, NZ. Kate has started running, tries to attend her Buddhist group every week, drinks far too much coffee, and lavishes unhealthy amounts of love on her long-suffering cavalier, Mo. Mainly, though, she worries about her children. Work helps to ground her, as does the mountain of financial, legal and general paperwork that now rules her life. The main purpose of this interview is to help Kate in advancing the conversation about suicide, about mental health, about dealing with medical complaints and to discuss the simple fact that our jobs and lives as intensive care professionals are arduous. When our colleagues die in these circumstances we must reflect on what this means for us as a specialty. We need to reduce the stresses and pressures we all feel in our work and our lives and we need to ask each other if we are OK. Please help me to spread the message by simply emailing your colleagues, or posting on social media. You can leave a question or comment on the Facebook “mastering intensive care” page, on the Life In The Fast Lane episode page, on twitter using #masteringintensivecare and @andrewdavies66, or by sending me an email at andrew@masteringintensivecare.com. On this topic there are no easy solutions. Doctors have a significantly higher suicide rate than the general population. Whilst all situations are unique and individual, there seems so much we can learn to prevent our colleagues and our friends from going through what Kate is. It is a privilege to bring you my conversation with Dr Kate Harding. Andrew Davies   If you feel you need help, please call your national 24 hour hour crisis counseling service.

Nick Elvery is a Peak Performance Coach with an amazing back story. Having been expelled from school, he left at 17 and took on a series of odd jobs before sinking into a 12 year drug and alcohol addiction. After hundreds of failed attempts to get clean and sober, Nick had the tenacity to keep trying until he was able to overcome the destructive forces of addiction and get on with his life. It’s a great story, and his experiences inform a lot of the work he does now. Nick works with stressed out and overwhelmed entrepreneurs who want to get back in control of their business and their lives. In this episode we talk about Nick’s story, what kind of challenges his clients face and how he helps them solve them, and what it takes to be fit for the rigours of modern life and business. If you’re an entrepreneur, this is definitely worth listening to.

Hazel runs service design agency Open Change along with Mike Press and has spent a significant part of her career in education but according to her that might have been a little too long. She started out at Edinburgh University with her first degree but after 5 years working she realised that art school was calling. Hazel found herself in jewellery and metal work apparently attracted by the materials and the naked flames! I find it really strange that the smallest things can highly influence our career paths. Logically we should be looking to gain transferrable skills that will be needed in the future in order to make a living. Maybe high school teachers aren’t best placed to be advising or maybe we should be doing more education around career paths. A real trend of Hazel’s early career is proving people wrong when they say she can’t do something. An amazing attitude to have and there’s a real drive that you can see throughout everything she does. We first met at DJCAD when she began teaching design studies, what I didn’t realise at the time was how she’d just sort of picked it up! It also seems to be how she got into the world of service design, learning alongside Lauren Currie and seeing the real value in the profession. I know there is a bit of post-it note/whiteboard stigma around it sometimes but I don’t think you can fault the principles of the profession. There’s potential to have real impact within big organisations affecting how they operate and look to the future. Another interesting suggestion was a mandatory gap year. I could really get on board with this, not in the sense of going to Asia and trotting around with a backpack. More like a year to appreciate what working life is like to really appreciate the experience of university. We also touch on death, which I think is a fascinating subject we hardly ever talk about. Maybe it should form part of a roundtable discussion in the future. I just feel there are too many prerequisites that we just take for granted we should question everything more.
