Entrepreneurship, Creativity and Exercise: Recent Episodes
Pieta
..with Ominipreneurs Dee Gibson ( Award Winning Interior Designer & Hip Hotelier kalukandahouse.com ) & Pieta McCrum ( Wellness-Nutrition Professional & Founder of BODYHIIT Fitness bypieta.com ) - Join our open conversations about the link between creative thinking and exercise. How do we get the balance right?
Dee ( award winning Hip Hotelier & interior designer ) and I ( online fitness-wellness business owner ) discovered each other via instagram during lock-down and not only did we become fast friends ( and online fitness client-companions ) we share the same values and vision to help empower women to feel strong and help care for the planet in the process. It's no wonder, as omnipreneurs, we have naturally found ourselves collaborating on our 2022 debut RESTORE Retreats at Dee's boutique hotel in Sri Lanka, but also Clubhouse Podcast co-hosts..
We know first hand how magic-dynamic collaborations can be for not only business ( and our soul! ), but to help other like-minded minds and brands grow & evolve too..

This week we discussed “Mind Over Matter” and asked the question - does it work? Two incredibly inspiring stories of Herculean human achievement to contradict medical odds suggest it does. It is clear that mind and body are in symbiosis and we need to tune into both but how do you dig deep mentally to overcome life threatening and life changing situations? Tune in to listen to Tim Wootton and Pieta McCrum telling their inspiring stories.
Guest Speaker Tim Wootton was born in 1971 and has lived in South London for the last twenty years and is married to Katie with a son Felix. Tim is a marine energy communications manager, award-winning author, international public speaker, blogger and podcaster and has played field hockey for England. His eyes and heart have been opened by his health struggle with cystic fibrosis (CF) and CF-related diabetes which has been a huge factor in his life, but not one that defines it. He fully understands the power of the mind to overcome life challenges and utilises 'the Gift' of resilience, calm and joy.

She is the founder of international online fitness & wellness business BODYHIIT bypieta.com. Her story of Mind Over Matter is deeply rooted in how her own health challenges pivoted her direction to stay true to her purpose-led passion, her loyal community and drive to help more people. Pieta tells us her story of suffering with spinal disc degeneration & chronic pain and how she not only rapidly reduced her recovery time to become stronger than ever, but in parallel how it grew her business and opened up a bigger opportunity.

This week we talk to guests about their entrepreneurial journey from inception, through pivots, hardships, breakthrough moments and beyond. Entrepreneurs are innovators although many may not see themselves like that before they start. Life changes can trigger an entrepreneurial journey and we hear from a few inspiring people about how they ended up being wellness gurus, property investors, international gaming inventors, PR experts and more. Tune in for 60 golden minutes of raw, un-edited story sharing that might just help you to make that leap. Warning: be prepared for a bit of swearing and a lot of inspiration.
Guests this week include founders Andy Johnson (www.andyjohnsonwellness.com), Amanda Fitzgerald (www.AmandaPR.com), Chris Duke (Pendennis Axis Properties) and Elizabeth Cowper (www.womonetwork.com E: Elizabeth@womonetwork.com IG: @womonetwork), Tracey Liot ( www.xtrapotential.org.uk )
Chris Duke lives in London with his family and, along with his wife Catherine, runs Pendennis Axis Properties, which offers clients investments in properties that leverage better returns than traditional banks and pensions replacing incomes and providing secure futures for clients. Chris’s background is in technology marketing, including over a decade at Apple, and whilst he has left corporate life, he still uses his wealth of experience in product messaging to assist SME’s with creating their product story for websites, presentations and advertising.
Chris is keen on sport and fitness, playing hockey, coaching junior hockey, an average golfer, a cyclist and a regular gym-goer. If you are interested in property investing or need help with your companies messaging, get in contact with Chris: chris@pendennisaxis.com

We explore the mindset, science and strategy behind food and exercise...
Come listen in!
This week we explore “Traits of an Entrepreneur” - conversations about the link between creative thinking, pro-activity, courage, confidence, vision and SWEAT!
Does building a stronger physical body really make an impact in how we think, how we “entrepreneur” our way through creation, business badassery and succeeding in life?
What traits best define an entrepreneur? What are their daily habits? What’s the belief system behind the omnipreneurial mindset? How do we become good entrepreneurs in the first place?
What do our guests say and share?
Listen in!
Dee & Pieta open the floor with the topic of "Stress & Exercise" in relation to the impact it has on our sanity, creativity and hormones! Hear their invited guests share their view and experiences too.
