    #365 Stephanie Mason - The Hidden Side Of Building A Successful Business

    Today’s conversation is with Stephanie Mason - entrepreneur, founder of Global Brand Connect, host of the Cutting Through The Noise podcast, and the woman who built and exited Showpony after 14 years of growth. In this conversation, Stephanie shares the journey of building Showpony from the ground up, the entrepreneurial influences that shaped her from a young age, and the lessons she learned scaling a brand into a business attractive enough to be acquired by Kevin Murphy in 2023. But this conversation goes much deeper than business growth. We explore what happens after achieving a major goal, including the emotional challenges many founders face when the thing they've spent years building is suddenly gone. We discuss identity, purpose, reinvention, and the phenomenon known as "Gold Medal Syndrome" - the emptiness some people experience after reaching the achievement they believed would finally make them feel fulfilled. Stephanie also opens up about suffering a serious pelvis injury just days after exiting Showpony, why it felt like the universe was testing her, and how she navigated the transition into a completely new chapter of life and business. Now, Stephanie helps brands scale intentionally through Global Brand Connect, supporting companies with distribution, logistics, strategy, and growth while continuing to build a life she loves in Mallorca. Expect to learn: The entrepreneurial lessons Stephanie learned growing upHow Showpony was built and scaled over 14 yearsThe key moments that proved the business could become something specialWhat it's really like selling a company you've built from scratchThe emotional challenges founders face after an exitHow Stephanie rebuilt her identity after leaving ShowponyThe lessons she's learned helping brands grow internationallyWhy relationships and the right support matter more than pretending to know everythingWhat younger Stephanie would think of the life she's created today This was a fascinating conversation about entrepreneurship, identity, purpose, growth, and learning that success is often about who you become along the way rather than the milestone itself.

    #364 Scott Weir - From Survival to Success

    Today’s conversation is with Scott Weir - entrepreneur, property investor, founder of Pillow Partners and Pillow Safe Havens, and a Krav Maga instructor. But Scott’s story starts in a very different place. He grew up in an incredibly difficult environment raised by a single alcoholic mother, often living without electricity, stealing food to survive, and surrounded by people heading down dangerous paths involving crime and drugs. In this conversation, Scott shares how he escaped that environment by joining the Royal Navy at just 16 years old, saving his wages while at sea, and buying his first buy-to-let property at only 17. We discuss the mindset required to break generational patterns, the importance of environment, and how Scott navigated seeing childhood friends fall into crime and heroin while he pursued a completely different path. Scott also opens up about being diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, how that completely changed the way he viewed himself intellectually, and why he now sees his neurodivergent brain as both a superpower and something that nearly destroyed his business twice. We also dive into martial arts, Krav Maga, business growth, building Pillow Partners over the last 20 years, adapting a company to survive modern economic pressures, and his outspoken views on UK politics, property ownership, and the future of entrepreneurship in Britain. Expect to learn: How Scott’s childhood shaped his early outlook but did not define his futureHow he avoided the dangerous paths many around him fell intoWhy he joined the Royal Navy at 16How he bought his first property at 17The impact being diagnosed with dyslexia had on his confidence and identityWhy neurodivergence can be both a gift and a challenge in businessHow Scott built Pillow Partners into a major property management companyThe lessons martial arts and Krav Maga taught him about discipline and leadershipHow he’s transformed the business to make it “bulletproof”Our concerns about UK politics and the future of property investingWhat success looks like for him approaching 50 This was a powerful conversation about resilience, escaping your environment, reinvention, entrepreneurship, and creating a completely different life from the one you were born into.

    #363 Adam Power - The 4 Pillars of a Fulfilled Life

    Today’s conversation is with Adam Power. Adam is an Irish entrepreneur, founder of PWRD Media, and more recently PWRD University. Adam first appeared on the podcast back on episode 226, where we unpacked his journey from an under-skilled and unfulfilled 20-year-old into building a multi-million-pound business in Dubai. A lot has changed since then. Since our last conversation, Adam has moved from Dubai to Marbella, launched PWRD University, sold 40% of his agency, and gone deeper into the personal side of growth alongside the business success. This was a thoughtful and reflective conversation on growth, identity, purpose, business, and building a life that actually feels good while achieving success. Expect to learn: Why Adam left Dubai and moved to Marbella full timeWhat nervous system regulation actually meansThe framework behind “The Square” and IkigaiWhy life moves in seasons of intensityThe common traits Adam sees in elite entrepreneursHow success changes as you evolveThe role Christian faith plays in Adam’s lifeWhy giving first often creates the biggest opportunities laterThe difference between external success and internal fulfilmentWhat Adam wants life and business to look like in the next 3 years  Get 20 lessons from 330 CamBro Conversations - https://colcambro.kit.com/60ed1b527b  Get my Linkedin for Sales Guide - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/linked-in-personal-brand-for-selling Make Millionaire Money Moves - https://millionaire-fhcpmlvz.manus.space  Book a conversation about Private Medical Insurance with Lewis & Mark - lewis.mitchell@wpa-hcp.org.uk and Mark.McKenzie@wpa-hcp.org.uk  Connect with Adam:Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/adampower96/ YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@adampower6612  LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/adam-power-marketing/  Connect with Col:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0c Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColCampbell

    #362 Lee Mair - From Pro Footballer to Finance Broker. Building the Second Career no Footballer Talks About

    Today’s conversation is with Lee Mair. Lee spent over a decade in professional football, playing more than 300 games across Scottish football with clubs including Dundee, Aberdeen, and St Mirren - where he was part of the side that lifted the Scottish League Cup in 2013. But this conversation isn’t just about football. Since retiring from the game, Lee has gone through the difficult transition many professional athletes face: figuring out identity, direction, purpose, and what comes next after sport. After trying multiple career paths including coaching, personal training, and IT sales, Lee eventually found his footing in finance before launching Mair Finance in 2023 - a business that has rapidly grown and now works with companies turning over hundreds of millions of pounds. We unpack the realities of leaving professional sport, the emotional and practical challenges of starting over, the transferable skills elite athletes carry into business, and why relationships and networking have been the foundation of Lee’s growth. Expect to learn: What Lee’s ambitions were as a young professional at DundeeHis fondest football memories, including winning the League Cup with St MirrenThe teammates and managers who shaped him mostWhat elite sport teaches you about discipline and resilienceWhy the transition out of football can be so difficultHow lost many athletes feel after retirementLee’s route through coaching, PT, Herbalife, and IT sales before financeWhy he launched Mair FinanceHow networking and relationships helped grow the businessThe types of clients Mair Finance now works withThe biggest challenges of building and delegating within a growing businessWhat Lee would tell young footballers preparing for life after sport This was a really honest conversation about identity, reinvention, business growth, and adapting when the thing you’ve known your whole life suddenly ends.

He’s also completed 20 Ironman races himself, giving him a rare blend of lived experience and coaching expertise. In this episode, we explore the growing shift from strength training to endurance challenges, the systems required to perform at a high level, and how nutrition, hydration, and behaviour underpin both physical and cognitive performance.

    #359 Perry Wilson - I Thought I Was Financially Secure..I Was Wrong

    Today’s conversation is with Perry Wilson, of Stupid is the Norm and The League. Perry first came on the show sharing how, in his 50s, he went from minimum wage, debt, and no savings to building a property portfolio and becoming financially independent - documenting the journey publicly. Since then, everything has changed. A series of major life events forced Perry to rethink everything he believed about money, success, and the purpose of life itself. From business disruption and financial pressure to personal challenges at home, this episode explores what happens when the plan you thought would secure your future no longer holds. We talk about the shift from chasing wealth to prioritising security, why traditional ideas of success can leave people more vulnerable, and how Perry is rebuilding with a completely different perspective. Expect to learn: What has happened since Perry’s journey took an unexpected turnWhy wealth doesn’t always equal securityThe mindset shift from chasing money to protecting your futureThe three financial foundations Perry believes make you “bulletproof”Why societal definitions of success can be misleadingHow to think about security, retirement and financial resilienceWhat Perry would do differently if starting againHow he is rebuilding after significant setbacksThe philosophy shift that changed how he views life and meaning Get 20 lessons from 330 CamBro Conversations - https://colcambro.kit.com/60ed1b527b  Get my Linkedin for Sales Guide - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/linked-in-personal-brand-for-selling Get my Productivity BLUEPRINT - https://colcambro.kit.com/products/peak-performance-blueprint  Shop Puresport supplements with CAMBRO10 - https://puresport.co/CAMBRO10   Get clean skincare with COL15 - www.notoxskincare.co Connect with Perry: The League - https://jointheleague.uk/  Insta - https://www.instagram.com/jointheleagueuk/  Connect with Col Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0c Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColCampbell
