In this enlightening podcast, we delve into the critical topic of preventing end of life thoughts among men in midlife by fostering positive habits and mental wellness strategies.
It is a discussion with Vicky Midwood, a health coach and addiction eliminator on her โRaw Chatterโ podcast.
Thereโs a discussion around the decline in male hormones, particularly testosterone, which typically occurs around ages 40 to 55, leading to what is sometimes called the andropause.
We emphasise the importance of recognizing and addressing the changes and challenges men face during this period, which are often overlooked or downplayed by society.
Thereโs a personal reflection from me about my own midlife dip, and how it nearly ruined me.
We also discuss the societal stereotypes associated with middle-aged men and the lack of empathy and understanding surrounding the andropause.
Overall, the conversation sheds light on an often-neglected aspect of men's health and aims to promote awareness and support for men navigating midlife changes.
Don't miss out on this empowering discussion aimed at promoting hope, healing, and a brighter future for men in their midlife journey.

How do you get the most out of the 86,400 seconds you have today?
What about the fact that you, on average, have around 4,000 weeks to do the things you want to do in life?
In this podacst. which is part of a masterclass workshop with members of the Midlife Mastermind, I talk about actionable strategies and transformative mindset shifts that can propel you towards a more productive, and healthier life.
I also champion the mindset of David Goggins, and how his self driven pursuit of "Stay
Hard" is admirable, but equally, not for everyone.
These principles will give you the "Quantum Leap" you need as Price Pritchett describes in his book You Squared.

How do you help someone who you think might have a Mental Health challenge?
Statistics suggest 1 in 4 adults experiences at least one diagnosable mental health problem in any given year.
But... research suggests that 90% of people that experience mental health problems say that they face stigma and discrimination as a result.
This needs to change, and in this video, I talk about how we can do that with Patrick Melville of Melville Mental Solutions.
Whether you are an employee or a C-Suite Director, the real challenge is accepting that a culture of Mental Health at Work can help ensure that anyone can feel comfortable when it comes to "I'm not OK".

In this episode, I discuss the concept of mindset with Christian Hoyle, Mindset & Performance Coach.
We talk about how to build and apply a growth mindset.
Christian challenges us to say everyone can change the way they think. But it takes everyone to change their state, to change their emotion.
We also focus on how to maintain the change, and confront the nayslayers.
Thereโs reflections on how our internal narratives drive our ability to make progress.
Whether you are a business owner, in a career, a student, coach, parent, teacher or simply someone seeking to improve at something, this episode provides numerous thoughts and techniques for how to adopt a performance enhancing mindset.

Want to have a better relationship? Then listen to this...
It can be hard to know what we really need from a relationship. But the task becomes much simpler if we keep in mind that every relationship requires effort, trust and respect. This is the philosophy that professional and personal relationship coach Nicholas Rion recommends.
Long lasting relationships need work, discipline, and effort to get results.
Also, as the relationship continues, you and your partner grow individually and to grow together takes work and strong communication skills.
It's fair to say it is not just love you need to make a relationship work.

There are so many takeaways from this conversation, Iโd really urge you to grab your earphones, and take a walk, and listen.

And why is that sometimes happiness can't be a constant?

He came up with his "Happiness equation" and writes about it in the book "Solve for Happy".

Problems are not always something you have to fall victim to.
This reflects why I wanted to interview NADIO GRANATA.
In the early part of 2021, Nadio was in the midst of a battle with throat cancer.
He demonstrated vulnerability, honesty, fear and personal highs and lows with his compelling blogs which you can read (link in the messages)
In my spare time I complete these interviews and this one is an emotional roller coaster. As Nadio writes in his last blog:
โIf you are reading this as a cancer patient, then Iโll not dress it up.
If you have been treated for cancer and you are reading this as a โsurvivorโ, then youโll know what I mean. And if you are related to someone who is heading into treatment, Your emotions will no doubt be all over the place.โ
Thank you Nadio. This is your mountain, and you definitely climbed it your way.

Find, Convert and Keep Clients like a Habit
Have you experienced marketing that is not honest, or even manipulative?
Perhaps itโs time to consider โEthical Marketing?โ
Ethical marketing tries to avoid:
ยทย ย ย ย Over-exaggeration of a product or service
ยทย ย ย ย Making misleading comparisons
ยทย ย ย ย Claiming something is factual without verification
ยทย ย ย ย Providing something without scientific evidence
ยทย ย ย ย Stereotyping around gender or race
This year we have seen โGreen Washingโ and โWoke Washingโ.
Listen in to this educational and fascinating conversation with Chris Thornhill, Co-Founder and CEO of Growth Animals.
He gives more explanation on:
โ
What is Ethical Marketing
๐ How can we market without being manipulative?
๐ฎ Can consumers influence marketing to be more ethical?

โ His non-negotiables when it comes to marketing ethically
๐ Examples of brands that have embraced ethical marketing
How do you feel when you experience content that over-promises? ย
Creating compelling content is part of the process of making your prospects aware of you.ย Great content then makes them interested in you.
But it's important to make sure marketing, sales and operations are all in alignment with content.ย Imagine over-promising and under-delivering.ย It destroys trust. ย
