- Educación
Hi, My name is Carl Denne and I run and own a Hastings Kickboxing Academy, in Jan 2020, I started my own podcast channel, “Kickstart Your Confidence” after being inspired by other likeminded positive people. My aim for this podcast is to share and discuss real life topics, covering mental health, pressures and stresses of life, running and owning your own business, with other business owners and real life people who have walked the walk and lived to tell the tale, in hopes that you, yes you reading this right now, can relate and find guidance in some way.

Are You The Problem?
Carl shares great advice on why you should say yes and get things done.

The Power of Education
Carl reflects on how he is now, re-educating himself on how to have a better business, a better life and how he can be a better version of himself.
Many people think their education ends when they leave school but if you want to get the best out of life for you and your family learning can be a lifelong process.
Working with a good mentor means Carl is learning how to play a bigger game and grow and in this episode, he shares how this really is the game-changer.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lots of people feel their education ends when they start a job
I’m constantly learning and going on courses but didn’t see it as education
Kickboxing for me has never been a business it’s just what I love doing
Learning about business has been a game-changer
Being part of the Mastermind group and discussing business with other like-minded people is what has made a difference
The power of being around people who are further along in their journey has really helped me play a bigger game and grow the business
We’ve moved the business and grown in size
My mentor is a life coach helping me to be a better me. He is educating me on a better life, a better me and a better business
It’s about having a good plan and strategy
Effectively I’ve had to go back to education to learn how to have a better business and a better life
Never stop learning and educating yourself
BEST MOMENTS
‘For me and lots of others, education ended when I finished school’
‘Working smarter is definitely better than just working hard’
‘Learning can look different but can continue throughout your life’

ABOUT THE HOST
Hi, my name is Carl Denne.
I was born in Hastings in 1980. Married, father of two beautiful daughters, Bethany and Leigha.
My daughters, the wife, and gym ARE MY LIFE.
IF I’M HONEST, I pretty much failed at school. Heavily dyslexic, I was dismissed for being a “naughty kid” that didn’t want to learn. I was heavily bullied for having shit clothes and ginger afro hair. I didn’t have many friends.
When I say bullied I don’t mean called a “poo-poo head” and being looked at in a nasty way. I mean thrown downstairs, and hit with chairs and tables. Clothes were stolen whilst in the shower. That kind of bullying…
Oh, how things have changed…
Martial arts, and specifically Kickboxing, have changed my life, and now I am much happier and change other people’s lives for the better on a daily basis.
I am a complete adrenaline freak, so In my spare time, track days, jumping out of planes, sitting on top of them, rage buggies in the desert… The higher, the faster the better for me. I’m always looking for the next thing to get my blood pumping, so if anyone has a challenge I’ve not found yet, please feel free to share.
I do like a Saturday night movie night, Chinese, Netflix, lots of chocolate with my three little ladies. I love being around my friends and family. This is why I love the crazy HKA family so much, as this is my extended family.
I left school with pretty much nothing! A few sad GCSE’s C - D grade, BUT I did have a shit-ton of energy and passion to achieve and to prove all the teachers and people that looked down on me for all those years, wrong. So, after a few jobs here and there, I settled on working for Openreach (BT) as a cabler/jointer copper and fibre optic multi-skilled engineer with HGV.
I left this in 2015 to chase my dream of running my own Kickboxing Academy and working with the future of today, rather than a job that just paid the bills.
I’ve trained pretty much my whole life: Karate, boxing, Judo, from the age of 9, and of course, I’ve now done over 29 years of Kickboxing. I’ve passed many Instructors and coach -
Fair Exchange
Carl explains how fair exchange is a part of everything we do in life and why although we may have different perceptions of good value we all part of a process of exchanging value every day.
When you understand more about fair exchange it’s an opportunity to offer more value and when you do, value will come back to you.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Fair exchange is in everything we do in life
Everything we do comes down to value
It can be work, relationships or training it’s everywhere
Everything we do has a value
We all have different perceptions of good value
Your work is exchanging your time for a salary
If you have high-value relationships you need to be able to bring high value to the relationship
People value their time in different ways
It’s about what you want and need, people often put more value on what they want than what they need
If you want to have better experiences you need to give better value out to others
It’s always about achieving the right balance
BEST MOMENTS
‘Everything we do in life is about fair exchange’
‘There is value and exchange in everything we do’
‘Give value in your life and it will come back to you tenfold’

I’ve passed many Instructors and coaches courses, attended many training courses and seminars, grading up through the syllabus. I passed my 4-hour hell-on-earth 3rd Dan black belt in July 2018 with the ICO.
If I’m honest my real passion and skills have come from learning the hard way; through being in the trenches. I know how it feels to be on your arse. I know how it feels to have to pull yourself out of the pit. I’ve been through

She Said Yes, What's The Worst That Could Happen?
Carl reflects on the importance of really living your life and making sure you are in a position to go with the opportunities in life.
It can be much easier to not ask when we are fearful that the answer will be ‘no’ but we all create the lives we have and if you overcome your fears and ask the answer could be ‘yes’
Everyone is on a journey through life and everything you do creates your memories going forward so don’t put things off until tomorrow, stop and ask yourself ‘why can’t I do it today?’
KEY TAKEAWAYS
You should just tell someone if you like them
It can be easy for the fears to come to the forefront but you need to push through them and take action
Often we fear the worst but nine times out of ten it doesn’t happen
You have to ask the question
Be prepared for the answer and be prepared for the worst
You might get a ‘no’ but you may get a ‘yes’
Everyone has the same amount of time in the day it’s all about how you use it
Whatever you do in the present is creating a memory
You are creating your life
The more you work and fully commit to what you are doing the more opportunities will open up to you
Don’t put off things today until tomorrow
Ask yourself ‘can I get it done today?’
BEST MOMENTS
‘He is so excited because she said yes’
‘Your life is your choice and you have to live it’
‘People ask me how I get through so much’
