If you've been following this podcast from the beginning, we will have explored together the stories and insights of incredible individuals who have reached that magical tipping point of moving from striving to being in flow.

Over a hundred episodes have featured interviews with inspiring business owners, philanthropists, thought leaders and game changers. The wisdom shared by these amazing guests became the foundation for my third bestselling book, Be Brilliant.

However, along this journey, something interesting happened. Many of you have reached out and asked for more. More of my story, more of my business journey and more of what I have learnt. Surprisingly, there has also been a demand for more solo episodes.

Although it’s much easier to put the spotlight on someone else, I’ve decided to take the advice of a wise individual who once told me to "do it scared." So here I am, doing it scared, with a simple intention to serve you by sharing what I have learnt.

Buckle up, my friends. It’s going to be a wild ride as I share the messy, beautiful journey of how I got where I am. Here's to doing it scared. Here’s to the unexpected. And here's to unleashing the brilliance within each and every single one of us.

    Are you stuck in the waiting room of success?

    Are you stuck in the waiting room of success?

    Today, I want to shine a light on a common trap many of us fall into—the proverbial waiting room of success. It's that place where our dreams and aspirations are put on hold, often indefinitely. 
    But not today. 
    Today, I’m inviting you to learn how to leave that waiting room behind for good.
    Transforming "I wish" moments into "I will" actions starts with a shift in mindset—from passive to active, from dreamer to doer. It’s about replacing "I can’t" with "How can I.” 
    Where could you be if you actually took action today? 
    Do you want to still be sitting in the waiting room of success this time next year? Or do you want to be out there living your dreams, celebrating your successes, and building your life and business by design?
    In this episode I break down three actional steps you can make today, to move you towards that success that you’re chasing.
    Let me remind you, it might feel safe to wait around, but it won’t bring you closer to your goals. No one is coming to rescue you. Achieving your dreams is about being brave, committing to action, moving beyond your comfort zone, and really making those dreams a reality.

    Is Your Business Meeting Your Essential Needs? with Angela Raspass

    Is Your Business Meeting Your Essential Needs? with Angela Raspass

    As business owners, we strive to serve our clients in a way that adds the most value to their lives. For the majority of us, that’s the reason we started our businesses in the first place.
    However, in order to create the lives we want to lead and the successes we’re hoping to achieve, we must ensure we’re taking care of ourselves and prioritising our own needs as well. 
    Today, I’m joined by the incredible Angela Raspass, an influential mentor and facilitator for business owners, who is here to share with us the six essential needs that when met, help a business not only survive but thrive. 

    We explore the personal and professional elements that will support you to love the clients you work with and unlock profit in a way that aligns with how you want to work.

    Angela introduces the six essential needs – certainty, uncertainty, significance, love and connection, growth and contribution – as crucial components for a well-balanced life and successful business. We also hear some practical tips on making incremental changes in our businesses to find more alignment, and we discuss the importance of building a supportive network, both personally and professionally. 

    The conversation is packed with so many gems, and I know you’re going to be as inspired as I was to recalibrate in your business and focus on what leads to the most sustainable and rewarding life possible - both at work and home.

    The ONLY 2 Things You Can Control in Your Business

    The ONLY 2 Things You Can Control in Your Business

    In the unpredictable tides of life and business, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by factors beyond our control. However, there are two elements that are always within our grasp: our effort and our attitude. 
    I was recently inspired by the words of sporting mindset coach Mark Zimmerman, who says, “You can't control the weather, the opposition…or even your teammates' performance, but you can always control the effort you put in and the attitude you bring.”

    Now, I believe this philosophy isn't just vital on the rugby field, but crucial in the business arena too. With all of the external pressures we face daily, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But remember, amidst this chaos, our effort and attitude are the only two things we really can control. 

    Today, we’ll explore how mastering these elements can lead to significant success,  helping us perform better daily and take control of our response to everyday challenges. 
    I’ll share practical strategies to harness their power, including practising gratitude and crafting a 90-day plan. 

    While we can't control every aspect of our environment, we can always control our response. I hope you're inspired to take control of your effort and attitude, transforming your challenges into stepping stones for success.

    5 Ways To Deepen Working Relationships

    5 Ways To Deepen Working Relationships

    Have you ever stopped to think about what you truly know about the people you work with?
    Beyond the daily tasks and project requirements, how much do you actually understand about your colleagues and clients? It’s easy to get caught up in calendar commitments and project plans, but shifting your focus towards truly knowing the individuals around you can be incredibly powerful. 
    At the end of the day, people buy people. People want to work with people. And it’s the people who make our work worth doing and give us the energy to keep going every day. Let’s dive into five ways you can deepen your working relationships that will help you both now and into tomorrow.
    Today, we’re exploring how to create genuine connections so that we can deepen our working relationships and create the influence and impact we truly desire through our work. 

    I’ll also take you through practical ways to intentionally connect with those around you:

    1. Shift your focus from deadlines and deliverables to the people executing them
    2. Show genuine interest in other’s lives 
    3. Be fully present
    4. Celebrate both the big and small wins of your colleagues 
    5. Offer support during challenging times

    By focusing on these strategies, you can create deeper and more meaningful working relationships. Remember, it’s about the people you surround yourself with that enrich your professional life, give you purpose and provide the energy needed to thrive every day.

    Unreasonable Excellence: Going Above and Beyond in Business

    Unreasonable Excellence: Going Above and Beyond in Business

    If you could be unreasonable about something in your business or in your career,  what would it be and why?
    Now, when I say unreasonable, I’m not talking about an unwillingness to cooperate. I’m talking about unreasonable excellence, the area in your business for which you go above and beyond the call of duty. The special something that really sets you apart.

    The reason I'm asking this question is because whilst in New York recently, I had the pleasure of experiencing the renowned Eleven Madison Park, a restaurant with many accolades and the reputation for unreasonably outstanding hospitality. 

    From the spectacular plant-based menu, the intentional connection from each member of staff, to the dedication to ensure each guest had a special experience, it was apparent why Eleven Madison Park has become legendary.

    And it got me thinking - how can we follow their lead and show up in an equally extraordinary way in our own businesses?

    Today, we’re talking about recognising what sets us apart in business, and making the choice to show up in an unreasonably excellent way that’s unique to each of us. We’ll also explore the power of connection, and how being intentional with it can create a ripple effect that transforms lives. 

    So, ask yourself: what changes might you need to make to really show up in your business in a spectacular way? Chances are you’re already sitting on the answer - it’s all about following through and embracing the authority you have to let your gift shine.
