    Building a Gin Empire: Sometimes You Just Have To Start! | Tea with Tommy G - Ep2 w Kate Griffin

    Tommy G Talks - Episode 146: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP2] w Kate Griffin - Wessex Spirits & The Gin Palace. Episode 2 of Tea with Tommy G brings you a very open and honest conversation with Kate Griffin, the Founder of Wessex Spirits and The Gin Palace in Andover.  I have been getting to know Kate and her fantastic business well over the last few months. We at Tide 55 have been working with her and her team to help grow online bottle sales and local footfall into the amazing venue that is The Gin Palace.  I wanted to share her story with you. But not just the story she tells everyone that comes in for a drink. I wanted to dig a little deeper into the WHY and the HOW she came to be where she is now.  So in this episode, you will hear how Kate went from being a Teacher, to throwing out her teaching books, having no "job", with 2 young children to look after, and an idea to start making her own gin. Local business is really important and I hope that this helps bring the awareness up for the people and the businesses that are out there flying the flag for Andover, our local community. (as well as the wider economy) You can see more from Wessex Spirits and book a gin tasting session or drop in for a drink at the Gin Palace here: https://www.wessexspirits.co.uk/ Make sure you tag @ WessexSpirits in your answer to Kate's amazing question.  Like the content?

    Your Pain Can Become Your Power | Tea With Tommy G - Ep1 w Harri Pereira

    Tommy G Talks - Episode 145: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP1] w Harri Pereira - Mindset X   It's time to step it up a bit.  I've had a podcast for a few years now, but I feel we need to take it up a notch.  I have launched on a project that I have wanted to do for a few years now.  Introducing: Tea with Tommy G - My new and improved way of bringing you guest interviews that consist of real talk, real challenges and real confidence.  We talk about life, death and all the ups and downs along this amazing journey. In this very first episode, I connect with a man that shares a lot of parrallels and similarities to me.  Not just in terms of interests and career path, but also in terms of things that have happened in our lives that we would much rather didn't.  I am all about transforming "challenge into confidence" and with Harri, he has (and continues) to do just that. I wanted to do an episode on "seasonal grief" the pain that we feel when we are reminded, or we miss someone that has passed away.  I knew that Harri would be able to help me get to the levels of conversation that this topic deserves.  I really do hope you enjoy this chat. In honour of you and to those that are no longer with us.  Remember to tag us both when you answer his question to you at the end!  LINKS  Harri's IG : www.instagram.com/mindsetxcoaching Harri's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harri-pereira  My IG: www.instagram.com/tommygentleman My LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommy-gentleman  My company Tide 55 Digital Marketing: www.tide55.com  Professional requests to made via my website: www.tommygentleman.com  The Jamie G Sporting Trust Website: www.jamiegsportingtrust.org

    Do Kids Need To Feel Failure? (The Importance of Youth Participation in Sport)

    Tommy G Talks - Episode 144: Do Kids Need To Feel Failure? (The Importance of Youth Participation in Sport)   “Kids need to learn how to lose…and sport gives them that lesson.” As Chairman of The Jamie G Sporting Trust, I am always championing the importance of participation in sport for young people under the age of 18.  Sport can expose us to and teach us so much at an early age.  I believe that it is essential for children to understand that they don't always win.  It’s beneficial to a young person to know that they can and will fail. That things won’t always go to plan.  Within the safe frameworks of sport, this allows for resilience to be built and the ability to look inside. To notice how they feel about certain outcomes when they don't go they hoped/intended, and then what steps/actions/practice needs to be done in order to improve.  To learn that we can only ever control and account for our own efforts. Because it’s actually not about winning and losing as such…it’s more about self improvement, skill progression, expression, teamwork, dealing with pressure and building discipline. To feel good about it. To enjoy the experience, and to develop self belief.  A valuable lesson indeed. We also have the more obvious benefits such as the physical and mental health advantages and the social relationships and skill development too.  Participantion is on the decline. We must recognise the value and increase our effort and energy to ensure these lessons are being learned through schools, clubs and organisations.  By creating safe spaces for self expression, not hinging everything on the W/L outcome, but instead the lessons learned from “the taking part”. As adults, parents, coaches…what can we do to improve? How can we set a better example? How can we help to facilitate more positive exposure to sport at a young age?    What do you think?   Let me know and share your thoughst via Instagram   www.instagram.com/tommygentleman
