Gordon Mac founded Mi-Soul Radio in 2012 providing listeners with a tasteful selection of old soul, R & B, Reggae and soulful house sounds.
You will notably recognise him as the figurehead that launched Kiss FM in 1985, being the first individual to take a pirate radio station legalised alongside the likes of Capital and the BBC.
Music has always been a stable diet in his life and at a mere age of eight on a family holiday in Bognor Regis, he experienced that wow moment where music captured his heart forever. Gordon arrived on the DJ scene back in 1972 and listening to the words of his Dad – find the job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life – and quite frankly he’s never looked back.
today Gordon says happiness is not about money. He notes, ‘It’s only in the past 10 years where I’ve found true happiness and life success with piece of mind’.

Stories to make your hair curl, equally living a wonderful life…this is Gordon Mac.

Jonathan Sattin founded Triyoga in 2000. He now has 5 studios across London offering yoga, Pilates and providing a selection of wellbeing treatments, their ethos is all about ‘creating spaces where everyone can belong.’

Growing up in Hertfordshire in the East of England, Jonathan never had his heart desires on entering the health industry, since the influence of his father encouraged him to embark on practising law.

It wasn’t until 1997 he experience an epiphany and explains- ‘I had to learn to stop and look in the mirror. It’s a bit like driving down a motorway, stuck in the fast lane and you miss the signs of life. One day you see the sign and realise you want to get off’.
This is a man who used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day, drink 14 cups of coffee a day with at least two sugars, which within 3 months he stopped both and Triyoga was born.
Jonathan describes himself as someone who is entertaining and complicated.
He firmly believes the golden rule in business is to Never Give Up and it’s apparent that Triyoga was created as a way of life not just as a business.
Jonathan quotes: Meditation is the effort we make to turn our attention inwards.

Here is a story of a multifaceted individual and testimony that a business can be a result of doing what you love.
