    Embracing change and staying true to personal values: Dr. Herb Ricardo

    Dr Ricardo (or Herb as he prefers to be called), grew up in the UK but moved to America at just 16. What followed was a 30-year journey across some fascinatingly different worlds — from consulting at Disneyland to mental health services, from his MBA and Doctorate to becoming a university business professor in Florida. In this episode, Herb shares the struggles of starting again in a new country as a teenager, the turning points that shaped his path, and what straddling two cultures has taught him about identity, resilience, community and purpose. A powerful conversation for anyone wondering what their next chapter could look like.

    Executive Assistant to Entrepreneur: Building a Global Personal‑Development Brand

    My guest Nicole Lancashire shares how two redundancies after a 20-year career as an executive assistant pushed her to build an online personal-development business and move from Australia to the UK. She explains how skills developed from supporting leaders—operations, project management and emotional intelligence—helped her become an entrepreneur, and how a daily routine of journaling, gratitude and study fuels her self-belief. Nicole also talks about home-schooling her children, developing audio stories for kids, setting boundaries, and practical advice for anyone facing redundancy: visualise two-year outcomes, commit to consistent action, and take the leap.
