    Ep141 - Spectacularly Direct - Brad Burton

    This week I sit down with the UK's No1 Motivational Business Speaker, Brad Burton. https://www.bradburton.biz He's the highest-rated motivational business author on Amazon. The UK's No.1 Motivational Business speaker. The author of 4 best-selling books. The founder of the largest business network in the UK. In 2022, Brad sold his business, after 16 years at the top of the networking scene. But Brad's life wasn't always rainbows and butterflies. As a kid, he grew up on a council estate. Had no qualifications. Spent years on benefits. By 31 he was in £25,000 worth of personal debt and delivering pizza. How did he go from 31-year-old pizza delivery man to the distinguished businessman he is today? Mindset. He changed his life with his mindset. Now, he helps global organisations, CEOs and their teams to do it at the highest level. He's humble. Hilarious. Human. But more importantly, he's a specialist at using the lessons from his life to move audiences. Renowned across the UK for his dynamic and energetic presentation style. Brad's approach and delivery is unlike anything you've ever seen or heard before. He is one of the most powerful speakers you'll ever have the pleasure of watching. Followed by inspiration to make change, take action, be better. That's the Brad Burton effect.
