    The Man Behind Simon Squibb’s Dream Machine | Rich Hayes | S3 Ep 14

    Guest intro Rich Hayes is an entrepreneur and the creator of the Dream Machine, a mobile pitching platform built to help everyday people share their ideas, get practical support and find momentum. He has also played a key role in bringing HelpBnk’s mission to life alongside Simon Squibb, helping founders move from “I’ve got an idea” to “I’m doing the thing”. Episode summary Rich Hayes joins Jenny and Matt for a grounded, energising conversation about what it really takes to keep showing up for a dream. From a steady childhood in Milton Keynes and early ambitions to join the military, to working on luxury yachts in the south of France, Rich shares the twists, setbacks and moments of reinvention that shaped his entrepreneurial journey. He talks openly about the power of tenacity, why asking for advice often opens more doors than asking for work, and how the Dream Machine grew from one bold idea into a practical platform for aspiring founders. The conversation explores pitching, rejection, education, creativity, technology, brand-building and the difference between waiting for permission and simply beginning. This is an episode about movement: doing the hard things, staying in the game long enough, and creating opportunities for yourself and others before everything feels ready. What You’ll Learn • Why persistence matters more than polish in the early stages • How Rich turned rejection and uncertainty into a new direction • What entrepreneurs can learn from “dock walking” for opportunities • Why asking for advice can be more powerful than asking for a job • How the Doorbell of Dreams helps people sharpen their pitch • What makes some founders instantly memorable when they present • Why creativity and non-traditional paths matter in business • How technology is changing the way founders can build and grow • What brands really need to understand before seeking sponsorship • Why it is never too late to begin working on your dream Memorable lines • “The more doors you knock on, the luckier you get.” • “The most dangerous thing you can have this year is an idea.” • “Five years is still going to pass.” • “Please don’t wait. Just do it.” • “If you stay small enough, long enough, you’ll be big enough soon enough.” Guest picks Book: Greenlights by Matthew McConaughey Music: The Wanderer by Dion Quote: “If you stay small enough, long enough, you’ll be big enough soon enough.” Tool / Framework: Bring two solutions to every problem, then recommend the best one Connect links Rich Hayes / Dream Machine Instagram HelpBnk Website HelpBnk Insta About Leading BOLDLY Leading BOLDLY is the podcast for founders, leaders and change-makers who want practical wisdom, honest conversations and bold ideas they can put to work in the real world.

    How to Set Up a Charity: Steve Hampson - Successful Business Owner to Charity Founder | SPECIAL

    Steve Hampson is a successful business owner, investor and charity founder who has built an impressive career in business before turning his energy towards creating lasting social impact. As the founder of Star Trust, Steve is passionate about helping smaller charities access the support, visibility and funding they need to make a bigger difference. He brings a rare mix of commercial discipline, grounded perspective and genuine compassion to both business and giving. Episode Summary What does it really take to set up a charity that makes a meaningful difference? In this episode, Steve Hampson shares his journey from successful business owner to charity founder, revealing the lessons he learned along the way about leadership, resilience, responsibility and impact. Steve talks openly about his upbringing, the values that shaped him, and why building a charity requires more than good intentions — it needs clarity, structure, strong people and a real understanding of where help is needed most. Jenny and Matt explore how Star Trust was created, why supporting smaller charities matters, and what business owners can learn from stepping into the charity world. Steve also shares practical lessons from business that apply just as strongly to purpose-led work: know your numbers, understand people, build the right team and keep going when things get tough. A thoughtful, honest conversation about success, service and building something that lasts. What You’ll Learn What inspired Steve Hampson to move from business success into charity founding What setting up a charity really involves beyond passion and purpose Why smaller charities often need more practical support than larger household names How business skills can strengthen charitable impact Why knowing your numbers matters in both business and the third sector How resilience shapes better leaders and founders What Steve learned from his own upbringing and early life experiences Why strong relationships and networks matter when building anything meaningful How to think more clearly about legacy, contribution and impact Why great leadership starts with people Guest Picks Book: Prey by Michael Crichton Quote / Saying: “Live life for today” Tool / Framework: Strong financial understanding — especially P&L, balance sheets and trends Connect Links Star Trust website: Donate / get involved: enquiries@star-trust.org.uk LinkedIn: Steve Hampson About Leading BOLDLY Leading BOLDLY is the podcast for founders, SME leaders and ambitious people who want to build meaningful businesses and lives. Hosted by Jenny Jarvis and Matt Clutterham, the show brings together honest conversations, practical insight and bold ideas you can put into action. Enjoyed this episode? Share it with someone building a business, launching a cause, or thinking about how to create more meaningful impact — and explore the links in the show notes to learn more about Steve and Star Trust. The phrase “how to set up a charity” is strong for SEO, but the episode itself sounds more like a leadership and founder story than a step-by-step guide. So I’d just make sure the podcast artwork, description and social posts frame it as Steve’s journey and lessons, rather than a legal how-to.

Ever walked out of a meeting thinking, I said the words… but it didn’t land? This episode is for you. Voice coach Barbara McAfee joins Jenny and Matt to explore why voice isn’t just “how you sound” — it’s how you connect, lead, and create trust. Barbara shares how our relationship with our voice is shaped by stories, culture, and lived experience, and why most of us are using only a small corner of what our voice can do. You’ll learn her Five Elements Framework (Earth, Fire, Water, Metal, Air) and how each element supports different leadership moments — from setting boundaries, to expressing care, to speaking up in noisy rooms, to telling stories that shift a room. Expect laughter, a few truth bombs about “being appropriate”, and a powerful reminder: you have a choice about your voice. What You’ll Learn Why voice and identity are more connected than you thinkThe first question to ask if you don’t like your voice: “What’s your story about your voice?”How tone can undermine your words (and how to realign them)The Five Elements Framework and what each element is best forHow to use Earth to set boundaries without over-explainingHow Fire helps you take up space and communicate passionWhy Water builds intimacy — and why it can send audiences to sleepHow Metal helps you project without strain (especially when you’re hoarse)Why Air unlocks story, imagination, and future-focused leadershipHow speed, accent, and social conditioning shape who “gets to speak” Guest Picks Book: Community: The Structure of Belonging — Peter BlockMusic: Brandi CarlileTool/Framework: Barbara’s Five Elements FrameworkFavourite saying: “The voice is the muscle of the soul.” Connect Barbara McAfee is a voice coach, author, speaker, and performer with over 30 years of experience helping people unlock their full voice, blending practical vocal techniques with powerful tools for authentic, flexible, and unforgettable self-expression.

    The End of Antidepressants? The CEO Betting on Your Brain’s Electricity | Erin Lee | S3 Ep 10

    Depression doesn’t need another miracle claim. It needs better options people can actually access — with evidence, care, and honesty. Erin Lee, CEO of Flow Neuroscience, shares how her team is building an at-home depression treatment platform using a wearable headset and app, and why it’s not a “magic wand” — it’s a structured approach grounded in science, regulation, and trust. Erin draws on her experience at Google, Uber, and Babylon Health to explain what high-growth tech gets right (user experience, speed, focus) and what it often gets wrong when you bring it into healthcare. This conversation goes beyond the product. Erin talks about grit, the reality of building in a heavily regulated space, and how leaders stay steady when the mission matters and the pressure is real. If you care about the future of mental health — as a leader, founder, investor, or human — this is a powerful listen. You’ll come away with: • A plain-English explanation of what Flow’s headset is (and what it isn’t) • Why trust matters more than traction in healthcare • The leadership habits Erin leans on when the stakes are high • What “disruption” looks like when people’s wellbeing is on the line • Practical ways to reduce friction and increase confidence in your own offer A few lines you’ll want to steal: • “Healthcare is really sick care.” • “My goal is to be the dumbest person in any room — by far.” • “Don’t worry so much about money. It’s just units.” Erin’s picks: Grit (Angela Duckworth), John Adams (David McCullough), Fleetwood Mac The Dance (plus Enya for focus), Find out more about Flow Neuroscience Connect with Erin.- Linkedin Connect with Jenny - Linkedin Connect with Matt - Linkedin Q Branch Consulting Website
