In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about how he hasn’t felt like he’s progressing in his swimming training, but this isn’t dampening his spirit despite the amount of microplastics her could see on the shore. He took it upon himself to clean up what he could from the beach hoping that others would do the same. Gavin puts out a call to action to set up a community to clean up your local area and get in touch with him to let him know what you are doing and hopefully we can create a global community working together to reduce pollution and littering.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• What is it that makes people not pay attention to the rubbish left on the beach? There’s probably an education problem, bad habits and more upsetting than anything, bad attitude.
• How many people, if they woke up and found pollution in the lounge and opened their front door to see a barrage of litter and pollution. Would their awareness be different than their awareness was down on the beach yesterday? I think it would be 1000% different, because they would be aware of it.
• It’s one thing to use plastics at a supermarket to bag your shopping, it’s another to litter it across our beautiful surroundings. What would you say if I called you up and I said “Hey, guess what I’m doing? I’m littering in my surroundings!” You’d probably ask if I was feeling alright.
• Just because people work to clear the bins doesn’t mean that you can litter the beach. We are responsible and obliged to change the action.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Lead by example.’

‘No one was batting an eyelid to the litter metres from the sea.’

‘It makes me feel angry.’

‘If we know thee is power in community then we simply must make more communities.’

ABOUT THE HOST

Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.

Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.

Why?

Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!

How?

Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
