The Success Nuggets #61 - The Windows that Sold From Bonkers to Bankable by Chris Browne

Today we celebrate Chris Browne, Ted Baker’s first hire, and the method in the madness: aliens in the window that stopped a city, fish-in-a-bag, and condoms that sold shirts—all routed by systems that turn theatre into sales. We unpack Pattern-Break → Attention → Footfall → Conversion, plus the Gold/Silver/Bronze kill/keep and The Dogs one-pager that aligned stores. If you want retail stories that feel alive and prove out, this is your masterclass. Nugget of the day: Show me the funny - then route it.

The Success Nuggets #60 - Maria Dolares Dignity, Moral Courage and the Human Connection

Maria Dolores joins The Success Nuggets to zoom out on human history and zoom into daily dignity. From HR and crisis work to walking beside 3,000 caskets and attending 1,500 funerals, she shares how grief matured into a living framework she calls The Human Constitution seven promises: Body, Emotion, Thought, Power, Communication, Life, Collective. You’ll hear why presence beats perfect words, what moral (civil) courage looks like, and how rights pair with responsibilities in a “global–local” world. We touch AI anxiety, extinction fears, and the humbling truth that on Earth’s 24-hour clock, humans have been here only a few seconds.

Two powerhouse leaders, one liberating idea: don’t take it personally.

The Success Nuggets #58 - The Gift Of The Target by Rocio Perez

When there’s a target on your back, that’s not pressure—that’s power. In this punchy Success Nuggets episode, Rocio Perez turns fear into fuel: lifting cars, walking on fire, skydiving from sixty floors, and showing why curiosity + courage = expansion. We get real about rivals, self-mastery, and clapping for yourself when no one else does. Nugget of the day: “Only you can jump. No one’s pushing you. The leap is yours.” With thanks to One Golden Nugget and Maxwell Preece for editing, support and artwork

The Success Nuggets #57 - Everything Always Works Out by Simon Woodroffe

Simon Woodroffe (YO! Sushi, YO! everything) joins to talk about starting again at 47, treating fear as fiction, roaming instead of queuing, robots as theatre, and why execution beats visualisation. But behind the creativity was something deeper: fear, patience, failure, and the quiet belief that “if you wait long enough, things always work out.” In this episode, Simon shares how low self-worth can drive ambition, how to build courage when you’ve got everything on the line, and why comfort zones are there to be stretched, the 100-day rule → money, meaning, and learning at 74. 🎙 A conversation about curiosity, grit, and the freedom to keep reinventing yourself — no matter your age. Nugget of the day " If you wait long enough, things always work out. " With thanks to One Golden Nugget and Maxwell Preece for editing, support and artwork

The Success Nuggets #56 - The Grind Behind the Glory by Joshua Tate

Born in a shelter. Raised in chaos. Fed from trash cans. Joshua Tate’s story isn’t about pity - it’s about power. From dumpster diving in L.A. to walking onto a Division 1 football team, from losing his father to working 110-hour weeks, Joshua turned every struggle into a stepping stone. When life hit hardest, he chose faith, family, and purpose over fame. In this episode of The Success Nuggets Podcast, David Abel unpacks how Joshua built himself from the ground up — and why his greatest victory isn’t success, but fatherhood. 🎧 A must-listen for anyone who’s ever had to build without a backup plan. Nugget of the day " When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.” — Eric Thomas With thanks to One Golden Nugget and Maxwell Preece for editing, support and artwork

The Success Nuggets #55 - Jenlyn (En Jen to Heart) From Muchness to More

Former firefighter–paramedic turned cinematic brand architect, JenLyn (EnJen to Heart) brings a rare blend of lived resilience, neurodivergent leadership, and creative rigor. In this conversation we unpack how to stop asking for permission and start using it as a system: build safety, tell the truth, then express fully. We cover practical courage for people who don’t fit the mold, emotional intelligence you can use by Friday (awareness → resilience → agility), and the nervous-system tools behind calm in action - breathwork you can do in a minute, “first-hour” hygiene, and body care that keeps you present. JenLyn shares how daily artistry became meditation, why color and story cues reduce friction, and her mission to gather a million people around Sing Your Song, an immersive “living movie” movement. If you’ve ever been called “too much,” this episode shows how to turn your muchness into more for your life, your work, and the stories you bring into the world. Nugget of the day: “You don’t need permission to fit in; you need courage to be more.” With thanks to One Golden Nugget and Maxwell Preece for editing, support and artwork

The Success Nuggets #54 - Chiron Yeng From Immune Storms to Love-Led Leadership.

Chiron Yang grew up in “immune storms”—eczema, asthma, steroids—and at sixteen chose a different path. He became a detective of his own health, shifting diet and habits, exploring meditation, psychology, wilderness coaching, and using astrology as a reflection tool rather than a prediction machine. Nature became the classroom; forgiveness became the turning point. In this fast, practical conversation, Chiron maps how inside-out healing turns into love-led leadership. We unpack emotional intelligence as a daily practice (awareness, resilience, agility), why “conflict is inflammation,” and simple resets leaders can use by Friday: breathe well, protect your first hour, eat clean, hydrate, and build belonging. It’s part memoir, part playbook—calm in action—for anyone who wants to spot patterns, change what doesn’t work, and lead with care. Nugget of the day - “The present moment holds infinite possibilities.” With thanks to One Golden Nugget and Maxwell Preece for editing, support and artwork
