    Chris Sheldrick what3words | Ed Prow TEKEX | The Founder Who Changed How Humans Describe Location

    This week, we sit down with Ed Prow, founder of Potting Shed and TEKEX, and Chris Sheldrick, co-founder of what3words, to explore what it really takes to turn an idea into a globally recognised business. Chris shares the remarkable story behind what3words, from a career-ending injury as a classical pianist to building a platform now used by emergency services, global brands, logistics companies and millions of people worldwide. He opens up about the challenges of changing human behaviour, raising capital, building a team and staying committed when many people believed the idea was simply too crazy to work. Ed discusses the power of branding, innovation ecosystems and why smaller jurisdictions such as the Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey have enormous untapped potential for entrepreneurship. Together, they explore creativity, risk-taking, AI, founder mindset, failure, resilience and the importance of executing ideas rather than simply talking about them. This is a conversation about ambition, innovation and the courage to pursue ideas that others don’t yet understand

    Jorge Wylde | “Why Your Diet Keeps Failing”

    In this episode, we sit down with Jorge Wylde, founder of JW Coaching, to talk about fitness, fat loss, bodybuilding, mindset, business and the reality behind lasting transformation. Jorge opens up about his own journey from golf and football, to gaining weight, trying extreme diets, losing six stone, putting it back on, and eventually discovering the structure, discipline and knowledge that changed everything. What makes this conversation powerful is that Jorge does not sell quick fixes. He talks honestly about why diets fail, why people regain weight, why lifestyle matters more than the hour in the gym, and why building a proper structure is the only way to make change last. We also explore bodybuilding, control, pressure, confidence, presence, entrepreneurship, and the mindset required to leave a secure job and build something of your own. This is a conversation about far more than training it is about identity, discipline, self-awareness and learning how to take ownership of your life. If you have ever struggled with weight loss, motivation, confidence, consistency, or knowing where to start, this episode will give you practical lessons and a different way to think about fitness and personal change

    Nikki Arthur & Orran Smith | What happens when you run for 52 hours

    In this episode, we sit down with Nikki Arthur and Orran Smith. Nikki is one of the Isle of Man’s leading ultra and fell runners, to explore how a former boxer and Muay Thai fighter found her way into some of the toughest endurance events in the UK and Europe. Nikki’s story is not just about running long distances it’s about identity, resilience, pressure, community, and discovering what you are capable of when the body starts to break down. From the disappointment of missing Commonwealth Games selection in boxing, to finding freedom in ultra running, Nikki talks openly about the highs and lows of pushing beyond normal limits. We discuss the brutal reality of races like the Spine Challenger North, Ultra Trail Snowdonia, the full Spine Race, and the unique psychology of the Backyard Ultra, where runners complete 4.167 miles every hour until only one person remains. This conversation goes deep into the mental side of endurance: sleep deprivation, hallucinations, pain, problem-solving, race planning, community, and why ultra running often becomes less about beating others and more about finding out where your own ceiling really is. A powerful episode on grit, identity, and what happens when you keep moving forward.

    Larraine Datta, David Bennett | OPX Studio | Why Most Brands Fail

    In this episode of M Word, we dive deep into the real meaning of brand beyond logos, colours, and surface-level design. Joined by the team at OPX Studio, we explore how brand identity is built from the inside out shaping not just how a business looks, but how it behaves, communicates, and ultimately performs. From working with global institutions to early-stage startups, they break down why most businesses misunderstand brand, how culture and leadership directly influence it, and why authenticity is now non-negotiable in a world driven by content and immediacy. This conversation goes beyond marketing and into identity, decision-making, and the uncomfortable reality of change required to build something meaningful. If you’re building a business, leading a team, or trying to stand out in a crowded world this episode will change how you think about brand.
