    347) Charlie Johnson - Why Playing It Safe Costs You More Than You Think

    Today’s conversation is with Charlie Johnson. Charlie is a fitness entrepreneur, business coach and founder of a global coaching brand with hundreds of thousands of followers across social media helping men get jacked and coaches build successful businesses. He’s transitioned from a personal trainer in the UK to building a multimillion-dollar fitness empire, scaling coaching clients internationally, and now focuses on helping fitness professionals and entrepreneurs grow their businesses to consistent 10s and 100s of thousands per month and beyond. In this episode, we go deep into the strategies, mistakes, mindset shifts and systems that have allowed Charlie to scale both his own performance and his business. We explore why investing heavily in mentorship transformed his thinking, how he uses AI and paid ads to scale, and the biggest misunderstandings fitness coaches (and business owners generally) make that hold them back. We also talk fatherhood, legacy and what success looks like as he plans forward to 2030.

    346) Steven Pettigrew - The Harsh Truth of Why Businesses Fail

    Today’s conversation is with Steven Pettigrew. Steven is a business investor, turnaround specialist, and AI partner with deep, hands-on experience across business growth, mergers and acquisitions. He grew up inside a large family-run business, went on to build and exit his own company, and now specialises in acquiring and fixing businesses that are underperforming as well as integrating AI to scale already successful business.  This is a grounded, no-nonsense conversation about why so many UK businesses struggle, what actually breaks when companies stall or fail, and how disciplined operators think differently about growth, acquisitions, and value creation. Expect to learn: What growing up inside a £35m+ family transport and waste business really teaches you about operations, people, and pressureThe biggest lessons Steven took from working in a multi-fleet, asset-heavy industry from a young ageWhen and why Steven decided to build — and eventually exit — his own transport delivery businessWhat selling a business teaches you that running one never willWhy Steven prefers acquiring businesses rather than starting them from scratchThe different ways to buy a business — and which methods actually work in the UK marketThe most common reasons UK businesses fail long before they run out of moneyWhat Steven focuses on immediately when he steps into a struggling businessHow AI can be used as a partner, not a gimmick, inside real businessesWhy most owners misunderstand scale, margin, and operational leverageSteven’s parting advice for anyone looking to get started in business acquisitions Invest with Fink using CAMBRO - https://fink.money/academy/  Get my LinkedIn Guide - https://click.convertkit-mail2.com/qdux4r4dq8u7h4dxgxvalh89p0rkkb4h86ng9/08hwh9h22xp4z6tl/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb2xjYW1icm8ua2l0LmNvbS9wcm9kdWN0cy9saW5rZWQtaW4tcGVyc29uYWwtYnJhbmQtZm9yLXNlbGxpbmc= Shop Notox Skincare using COL15 - https://www.notoxskincare.co/  Get 20 lessons from 330 CamBro Conversations - https://colcambro.kit.com/60ed1b527b  Get my Sales Support - https://colcambro.kit.com/d0dceeb5ff Connect with Steven LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevenpettigrewinvestor  Insta - https://www.instagram.com/stevenpettigrewinvestor/  Connect with Col Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/  Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0c  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/ColCampbell

    JAN 18

    345) Dan Lawrence - Your High Performance Playbook

    Today’s conversation is with Dan Lawrence. Dan is a performance coach known for his relentless standards, consistency, and long-term approach to excellence. His work sits at the intersection of training, nutrition, recovery, and mindset, and he’s become one of the most trusted operators in high-performance circles - from elite athletes to business leaders who want to operate at a higher level year-round, not just in January. In this episode, we unpack what high performance actually looks like in real life - beyond buzzwords, hacks, and short-term motivation. Dan shares how his own personality has shaped his drive, where he’s had to slow down to reflect, and how he helps clients build systems that compound over time rather than burn them out. Expect to Learn Why high standards and consistency matter more than motivationHow Dan works on reflection, not just relentless forward momentumThe 4 pillars of Perform 365: training, nutrition, recovery, and mindsetHow Dan uses data and testing with clients — and what deficiencies show up mostHow environment design shapes behaviour more than willpowerHow Dan reframed his relationship with running  and why “start where you stand” mattersWhat made the difference between Connor Benn’s loss and subsequent winThe biggest misconceptions about high performance in JanuaryHow Dan reviews the year and resets before going again Most people don’t fail because they lack ambition - they fail because they chase intensity without structure, data without context, or goals without identity. This conversation is about building a system you can live with, not one that looks good on Instagram.

  4. 344) Ewan Dudding - My Path to Becoming Scotland's Biggest Landlord & Finance Broker

    JAN 11

    344) Ewan Dudding - My Path to Becoming Scotland's Biggest Landlord & Finance Broker

    Today’s conversation is with Ewan Dudding. Ewan is a property investor, mortgage broker, and one of the most active figures in Scotland’s investor community but his journey didn’t start with capital, contacts, or confidence. It started in Lochgilphead, with a grounded money mindset, long hospital shifts while studying, and a willingness to figure things out earlier than most. We go right back to Ewan’s upbringing and early relationship with money, how he balanced university with work, and the influences that first pulled him towards property. He shares the reality of buying his first property as a student, how he approached getting a mortgage at that stage of life, and what it was actually like managing and renting out a property while living in it himself. From there, we unpack how his portfolio grew step by step, why he initially trained as an independent financial adviser, and what ultimately gave him the confidence to leave that path and move fully into mortgage broking. Ewan explains the natural overlap between mortgage broking and property investing in Scotland, how he built a team to manage deals end-to-end, and what it really takes to scale beyond the first few properties. We also get into the realities of leverage - including borrowing over £15m in bridging finance, how that experience has sharpened his advice to investors, and why cash flow pressure is often the hidden cost of growth. Along the way, we discuss Stirling as his chosen city, the importance of community through networking and project tours, and where he sees the biggest opportunities in UK property right now. This episode is a grounded, honest look at building a serious property portfolio without shortcuts — and what success might look like heading towards 2030.

    JAN 4

    343) Mackenzie Haldane - The Truth about Making Money Online

    Today’s conversation is with Mackenzie Haldane. This is Mackenzie’s second appearance on the podcast after episode 251 in May 2024, and this conversation picks up well beyond tactics and surface-level wins. We talk honestly about what success actually feels like after making money young, how that reality differs from the imagined version, and whether early financial wins accelerate maturity or quietly delay it. Mackenzie shares what he’s learned from building and scaling e-commerce businesses, working closely with others launching dropshipping stores, and spending years refining systems, ads, pricing, and sales psychology.  Expect to learn: What success actually feels like now versus what Mackenzie imagined early onWhether making money young accelerates growth or delays emotional maturityThe biggest mistakes people are making in e-commerce right nowThe unseen sacrifices required to build a serious online businessTraits Mackenzie sees repeatedly in people who succeed with dropshippingHow to think about opportunity cost beyond just money - time, energy, and missed leverageThe highest-ROI daily actions most business owners overlookCore sales fundamentals that consistently drive results in e-commerceHow effective ads frame problems rather than productsWhy paid ads should be viewed as an investment, not a costWhat most people get wrong about investing in themselvesHow Mackenzie handles negativity now that he’s more visible onlineWhy so many people still assume making money online is a scam This episode is about separating illusion from reality, replacing luck with systems, and building businesses that actually compound both financially and personally.

    342) Ollie Ollerton - You're Capable of More

    Today’s conversation is with Ollie Ollerton. Ollie is a former UK Special Forces (SBS) operator who served on high-risk operations across Iraq and Southeast Asia, including covert counter-narcotics and counter-terror missions. He’s also a bestselling author, the founder of BREAK-POINT performance training, and a familiar face to many as one of the lead instructors on SAS: Who Dares Wins. This conversation goes far beyond the TV persona. This is a raw, grounded conversation about pressure, responsibility, and learning how to live a good, free life. Expect to learn: • What Ollie means by a true “breakpoint” and how finding a second wind under pressure applies far beyond the military • How a traumatic childhood experience shaped Ollie’s life for many years • Why you must always be willing to explore new levels • The real reason so many people feel stuck right now & what to do next • The mindset scripts Ollie uses to live a good life • How emotional control is developed under chaos — and what that looks like in relationships and business • The moment Ollie realised the “military version” of himself wasn’t sustainable in everyday life • What he had to leave behind to grow into his next chapter and why what got you here won’t get you there • Why he chose to move to Dubai and what that change has unlocked personally and professionally • The tolerant nature of Dubai while maintaning strictness This episode is about resilience without bravado, strength in mind and body, and learning how to live freely.

    340) Solo Q&A - Building Confidence, Fleeing the UK, & Cancellation Threats

    Today, the guest is me and it’s time for a solo Q&A where I answer the Questions sent in by the listeners over Instagram, on my new Patreon and on my email list. In this episode, I dive into a wide range of topics including cancellation culture, my perfect day, my top non-negotiables, the qualities I look for in the people I spend time with, and what would genuinely surprise people about me from my early adulthood. Expect a real mix today: my thoughts on discipline, confidence, decision-making, politics, Rangers, crypto, food cravings in a deficit, the biggest mental shifts since becoming self-employed, why I’ve turned down sales, and what all of this says about identity and growth. We also get into the frameworks behind staying present in a busy life, the role of logic and intuition in big decisions, what a “successful day” actually looks like, and what drives me to work as hard as I do.
