Two practicing Humans and Coaches, the premise of our show is that we talk about everything from socks to self-belief, and all sorts in between.

    Episode 77 - In conversation with Stefan Thomas

    We had an absolute blast putting the world to rights with Stefan Thomas in this episode, so we hope that comes across and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed doing it. Stefan Thomas is the author of Business Networking for Dummies, the founder of Connect Network, and a professional speaker and MC. His clients include BT, Lloyds Bank, The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants, the Loo of the Year Awards and many more. He lives in Oxfordshire with his wife Sharon and between them they have five grown up children. Outside of work, Stefan is still a punk and has been to over 750 punk gigs in his lifetime - and has several already booked this year! In this episode we started by asking Stefan about his role as MC for the Loo Of The Year Awards, which is something he has a vested interest in as an ulcerative colitis sufferer. We loved his quote from Becky Wall, the owner of the awards, which is: "poo is the last taboo!". It probably is, and it really shouldn't be! Then we asked him - given his background as a veteran networker with huge expertise, has written books, coached people on speaking and networking etc - what brings him the most joy about networking. We finished by asking him how he feels he's making a positive difference in the world. Then it was time to turn the tables and let him ask a question of us, so he asked what changes we've seen in business along the way, both positive and negative. We came away from this one feeling really uplifted and, yet again, it's great to be able to shine a light on things that are still surrounded by taboo; something we love to do on this show!

    Episode 76 - Do You Believe?

    It's fair to say this is a really important episode for both of us, as it's about self-belief and confidence - a topic that is central to everything we do as Coaches & Speakers. We talked about how a lack of self-belief can hold you back, what gives us confidence, advice for constant self-doubters, examples of when our self-belief has been challenged, why self-love is such an important ingredient for self-belief and confidence, and go-to strategies when self-belief and confidence needs a boost. We absolutely loved talking about this, so we hope that comes across when you listen. We gave some shoutouts in the episode, so here they are: "Solve For Happy" - the fabulous book by Mo Gawdat. Available at all good bookstores and well worth a read, recommended by Rachel. "Squeeze The Orange" - the book by Sameer Lal. Available at all good bookstores and recommended by Jenny. Lisa Newport Funky Diva - Personal Style & Brand Mentor. Check her out on Instagram here. Stefan Thomas - Speaker, Corporate Trainer, Bestselling Author. We're so excited to have him on the show as a guest in the next episode, so don't forget to subscribe for notifications when the next episode goes live. You can find Stefan here.

    Episode 75 - In Conversation With David Foulkes

    This episode with David was so much fun and it was a great and eclectic mix of serious questions and really lighthearted ones.  It's a shame we didn't record the general conversation with David before and after the actual episode recording, because it was really great conversation and, quite frankly, we had a wonderful time chewing the fat with him. So, who is David Foulkes? He's a Presenter, Marketeer and a Memory Ambassador for new venture - Memory Makers. With many years experience as a local radio host as well as a background in customer care, David brings knowledge, kindness and an enthusiasm to the Memory Ambassador role. David works with both care providers and community groups to capture experiences that deserve to be preserved and shared. Memory Makers is a purpose-led, ethics-driven organisation built around human connection. They help people, families, and communities preserve the voices and stories that matter most through filmed interviews, reminiscence workshops, and digital storytelling. Their simple-to-use digital platform and UK-wide Memory Maker Partner Network enable communities to capture, record, and celebrate memories at scale, creating measurable social impact while maintaining a deeply personal approach. Working in collaboration with care providers, community groups, schools, and local organisations, they create structured opportunities for conversation and reflection that bring generations together and foster a sense of belonging. At its heart, Memory Makers is about connection, ensuring that every person’s story, however ordinary or extraordinary, is given the space to be shared and remembered. They’re building a connected national network, one that values human experience, strengthens intergenerational bonds, and helps communities safeguard their living history for generations to come. We talked to David about what it was that made him want to get involved in Memory Makers; about his life adventures so far; and where he would like to see Memory Makers go in the future. We then gave him the usual opportunity to ask us a question each, so have a listen to see what we had to say about 'binfluencers' and 'doomscrolling', it really was an insightful and hilarious conversation.
