Abbie and Ryan are joined by our great community friends Bill and Jason.
We talk about the importance of values and how knowing our own values as individuals and as community leaders can help us create, find and belong to communities that support our values.
On episode 261 I am joined by Braxton Kilgo, founder of DigiCast and I Believe In You.
In 2017, Braxton delivered a powerful speech to 1,200 middle school students, gifting them "I Believe in You" stickers with the encouragement to pay it forward. The stickers went viral & sparked a wave of kindnessthroughout the school and community.
Recognizing the impact, Braxton transformed the stickers into bracelets, designed to be worn until one is inspired to give them away. The initiative quickly took off, with 16,000 bracelets sold across the US and 11 different countries.
The stories that emerged from these bracelets being shared ranged from brightening days, empowering dreams, and even saving lives.
After receiving hundreds of heartwarming stories of people giving and receiving bracelets, the IBIY team developed a first of it's kind mobile app to capturethese stories for everyone to see.
Each bracelet connects to the mobile app, allowing users to leave a positive message on their bracelet and watch the chain reaction of kindness unfold as bracelets travel from person to person around the world 💙

Those people who truly accept themselves do not require the acceptance and affirmation of approval.
As heart-centred leaders we are called to love ourselves and our neighbour, building a greater capacity to accept others as we no longer reject ourselves.
Let this be our heartprint.
On episode 248 I am joined by John Eldredge. John is an author, a counsellor, and a teacher. He is also president of Wild at Heart, a ministry devoted to helping people discover the heart of God, recover their own hearts in God's love, and learn to live in God's Kingdom.
John grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles (which he hated), and spent his boyhood summers on his grandfather’s cattle ranch in eastern Oregon (which he loved).
John met his wife, Stasi, in high school (in drama class). But their romance did not begin until they each came to faith in Christ, after high school.
John earned his undergraduate degree in Theatre at Cal Poly, and directed a theatre company in Los Angeles for several years before moving to Colorado with Focus on the Family, where he taught at the Focus on the Family Institute.
John earned his master’s degree in Counselling from Colorado Christian University, under the direction of Larry Crabb and Dan Allender. He worked as a counsellor in private practice before launching Wild at Heart in 2000. John and Stasi live in Colorado Springs with their three sons (Samuel, Blaine, and Luke), their golden retriever (Oban), and two horses (Whistle and Kokolo).
While all of this is factually true, it somehow misses describing an actual person. He loves the outdoors passionately, and all beauty, Shakespeare, bow hunting, a good cigar, anything having to do with adventure, poetry, March Madness, working in the shop, fly fishing, classic rock, the Tetons, fish tacos, George MacDonald, green tea, buffalo steaks, dark chocolate, wild and open places, horses running, and too much more to name.
In this episode you will hear:
00:00 intro
02:58 why don’t need another men’s book
04:48 the stages of the masculine journey - the boy, cowboy, warrior, lover, king, and sage
08:08 the two fundamental needs of little boys
10:08 it is important to discover for yourself that you have got what it takes
14:08 a cry for a father's engagement
18:38 Ryan’s testimony
23:08 why can’t we trust men?
26:58 the cure for the narcissistic life
28:48 Christ the Warrior
32:38 the tools of the enemy
38:58 you need to tell each other your story
42:08 getting hooked up to the one who knows you best and loves you most
45:38 God heals trauma
50:18 John’s Heartprint

JohnEldredge #WildatHeart #Masculinity #JesusChrist
Note to my younger self... the hierarchy isn't the problem. The spirit of the leader is the problem.
Let's be the types of leader who uses our power to protect people rather use our power over people.
As heart-centred leaders, it is not defeat that should concern us, but success.
Defeat is an inward opportunity to grow.
Success is an inward opportunity to ground.
Men need a balance between their heart and mind. A lover and a warrior. A warrior with grace, mercy and compassion.
For good things do not come from a man armed with a sword who can't dance.
Kahlil Gibran -
Then the priestess said, Speak to us of Prayer.
And he answered, saying:
You pray in your distress and in your need; would that you might pray also in the fullness of your joy and in your days of abundance.
For what is prayer but the expansion of yourself into the living ether?
And if it is for your comfort to pour your darkness into space, it is also for your delight to pour forth the dawning of your heart.
And if you cannot but weep when your soul summons you to prayer, she should spur you again and yet again, though weeping, until you shall come laughing.
Can we grateful in the valleys? Grateful in the darkness? or as Brandon Lake says.. sing through the fire and worship from the lions den... even when it doesn’t make sense.
Pour your darkness into space and delight in pouring forth the dawning of your heart.
Men don’t do face to face talking. They do it shoulder to shoulder. They talk alongside each others. Get yourself a brotherhood to walk alongside. www.abty.co.uk/akira
Heart-centred leaders who lead with love need to ensure they lead from love and no for love.
They need an awareness of the hidden power dynamics at play in their leadership.
They need to be aware of their needs and the needs of those they lead.
The leader needs to make sure their followers do not look to them as the source of love but are instead directed inward to themselves as the source of that with which they seek.
At our stage of heart-centred development do not be surprised if worldly success doesn’t concern you.
There comes a point in the evolution of every soul where the main concern of the soul no longer becomes the survival of the body but growth of the spirit.
No long are we driven by worldly attainment of success but by the realisation of self.
Life isn’t about what we do with our body. It’s about who we being.
We’re not here to say do things in order to be happy but to be happy while we are doing things.
We are here to do two things... BE who we are and to CREATE who we are.

On episode 245 I welcome Dr. Deboarah MacNamara to the podcast.
Dr. Deborah is a counsellor and scientist; storyteller and teacher; guide and Mother. Deborah makes sense of kids for adults who care for them believing this to be the path for transforming families and communities, society, our world as a whole.
Deborah serves as a leading international expert who provides counselling and educational services to support parents, professionals, and educators. She is also a professional speaker who has presented to the United Nations and The Dalai Lama Centre for Peace and Education.
Deborah specialises in the relational-developmental approach based on the work of Dr. Gordon Neufeld, empowering parents to become the expert on their children with everyday questions and practical strategies. She came to this work as a new mother herself, curious and confident that his approach could shift not only her children’s futures forever, but also her professional approach to supporting and helping others. Today, she serves on Faculty at the Neufeld Institute.
Deborah is the author of the best-selling book, Rest, Play, Grow: Making Sense of Preschoolers (or anyone who acts like one) which has been translated into 14 languages and the children’s picture book, The Sorry Plane, which is available in three languages.

In simple terms, the Cameron and Quinn's Competing Values Framework identifies four main types of values that compete within organisations:
- Collaboration (Clan Culture): This value emphasises teamwork, cooperation, and a friendly work environment, similar to a family.
- Innovation (Adhocracy Culture): This value emphasises creativity, adaptability, and a willingness to take risks. Organisations with this value prioritise innovation and experimentation.
- Results (Market Culture): This value emphasises competitiveness, achievement, and a focus on external factors such as customers and market demands. Organisations with this value prioritise getting the job done and achieving results.
- Control (Hierarchy Culture): This value emphasises stability, rules, and a structured environment. Organisations with this value prioritize efficiency, consistency, and a well-controlled work environment.
These values can often conflict within an organisation as different departments or individuals may prioritise one set of values over another. The Competing Values Framework helps organisations understand these competing priorities and work towards a balanced approach to achieve their goals.
In the Competing Values Framework, the values directly compete with each other when they are positioned opposite to one another on the model. Specifically:
- Collaboration (Clan Culture) vs. Control (Hierarchy Culture): Clan culture emphasises a friendly and collaborative work environment where teamwork is highly valued. In contrast, Hierarchy culture emphasises a structured and controlled environment with a focus on rules and stability. These two values often compete because a highly collaborative environment might conflict with the need for strict control and adherence to established procedures.
- Innovation (Adhocracy Culture) vs. Results (Market Culture): Adhocracy culture values creativity, adaptability, and risk-taking, encouraging innovation and experimentation. On the other hand, Market culture emphasises competitiveness, achievement, and a results-oriented approach. These values can be in direct competition because a strong focus on innovation might sometimes conflict with the immediate need for delivering measurable results and meeting market demands.
In real-world organisational situations, these competing values can create tensions and challenges as different departments or teams may prioritise one set of values over the other, leading to conflicts in decision-making and resource allocation. Balancing these competing values is essential for effective organisational management.
David. R Hawkins says if we focus on one aspect of our development with purpose, intention and intensity, making our thoughts, decisions and actions conscious, we will transcend the ego. You don't have to do ALL the things. Just the one thing, with intensity.
On episode 240 I welcome Dr. Michael Gervais to the show.

On episode 239 I welcome Richard Rudd, founder of Gene Keys to the show.
A teacher, mystic and award-winning poet, Richard’s inner journey began early in life as he experienced strange energies rushing throughout his body, culminating in a major spiritual experience at the age of 29. Emerging from what he calls ‘a field of limitless light’ that lasted 3 days and 3 nights, Richard was entrusted with a sacred teaching – the wisdom of the Gene Keys.
A born explorer, Richard has studied with great teachers in the East, travelled through the Himalayas, the Pacific, the Americas, and the Arctic. Earning a master’s degree in metaphysics and literature from Edinburgh University, he went on to work in the film industry in Australia, trained as a teacher of Chi Kung inThailand and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean on a small yacht. During this time, he lived in Manhattan, Oregon and Hawaii before finally returning to the UK in 1998, where he met Marian his wife.
Over the following years they had three children and moved to Devon in southern England. Throughout his adventures Richard has explored his love of writing and in 2006 he won the FISH international poetry award in Ireland.
All Richard’s travels and studies coalesced into a synthesis in 2002 when he began to write and conceive the Gene Keys. It took seven years to write the book and understand its teachings and applications.
Today Richard continues to expand the wisdom that he was gifted, remaining always a student of the Gene Keys while teaching all around the world.
In 2019, Richard was named on the Watkins list of The 100 MostSpiritually Influential Living People.

CARE is a wonderful ingredient of heart-centred leadership.
It is not something we have to force. It is a byproduct of intimately getting to know people. It's why we root for underdogs.
Be sure to check out the HEARTWORK of Olivia Coleman (Celebrant) here: https://www.instagram.com/notthatoliviacoleman/
Care is definitely an ingredient of her heartwork and we felt it.

Many people say discipline is better than motivation and I agree. But discipline without being tethered to devotion can be pointless.
Connecting with your vision, mission, purpose and values can be the life source energy that sets the context and meaning to your disciplined actions so that you may be a follower of your heart.

Connection. Only Fans gives the illusion of connection with the creator. But they'll never find what they are searching for until they connect with their creator.
I got to observe two people at work. One flipped pancakes with love, passion and joy. The other just fried egg after egg.
It's not about what you are doing it the world. Its about who you are being while you are doing it that matters most.
Bring love, joy and passion to your work over the next few weeks and see what that makes possible.
Forget self advancement. Trust that we rise by lifting others. This is how we become great. By using what we have in the service of others. For what we do for ourselves will be forgotten. What we do for others will be remembered forever.

Your purpose isn't to make something of yourself. It is to place yourself. The treasure is buried within. Take the time to discover the gifts you've been given and commit to bringing that to the world in the service of others.
Being heart-centred isn't a trend or a title. It's the way you love people. We can tell a heart-centred leader by the way they love people.
Ever find yourself saying you haven't got time? You're right. You haven't got time. So play.

There's a battle for the attention of our children. We have to protect them the best we can. Their wellbeing and the future generation of our workforces depend on it. Parents are the last line of defence and the most important people when comes to who our children can depend on.
I believe there are three pathways to purpose. Passion. Pain. Possibility. If you’d like my help in discovering your purpose, simply DM the word “purpose” on Instagram or email connect@abty.co.uk
My #1 takeaway is that I became someone who believed it was possible.
I can help you become who you know you can become.
Simply email connect@abty.co.uk to get started.
On this episode of Community Conversations Abbie and Ryan talk about:
- the meaning of the word community - to come together as one.
- what it means to be one
- why there's something within all of us that is needed and of value to a community
- a discussion on the @everyone facebook tag

I have started to see the possibilities love creates. Here are just a few:
Leadership - your ability to choose love
Wisdom - your willingness to surrender to love
Strength - your capacity to give love
Resilience - your capability to return to love
What would you add?
Unity. Connection. Understanding. Compassion. Hope. Improvement. Growth.
So many possibilities fuelled by love!

Heartset knows oneness.
Mindset perceives duality.

Here's a summary of what you can expect from ABTY throughout July!
https://abty.co.uk/blog/f/coming-up-in-july
It's great to be back.
Team Hartley are off on a family holiday. There will be no new podcast episodes for two weeks. Use this time to catch up on previous episodes. Come and stay connected in the ABTY community and we'll be back on 5th July with fresh energy.
The online space frequently refers to an #abundancemindset

Be careful who you listen to. The marketing bros and hoes just want to exploit your desires and will lead to your lack. A small act of defiance is to need nothing and love the life you have.

You’re only a #leader if people choose to #follow you.
People will only choose to follow you if you make them feel safe enough or inspired enough.
Relying on your position or title is the lowest form of leadership. People do things because they have to.
True leadership has people contributing because they want to.
This is why leadership requires heart.
Are your first line managers leading with heart? They are the ones making the biggest difference in your company as they interact with the most amount your people in a day.
If they’re not leading with heart, do the majority of your employees show up because they want to or because they feel they have to?
Perhaps it’s time to invest in the heart of your company and the heart of your leadership?
💌 now to start a conversation
💙
leadership #followership
Being confident in your body, image and knowledge is the same problem as not having confidence in your body, image and knowledge - because your confidence is being placed in something external and temporary.
Attach your confidence to who you are.
How would your life change if you were an exceptional leader?
How would the lives of those you love change if you were an exceptional leader?
Who suffers from your inability to lead?
What’s one thing you can do to work on you leadership capability?
How can you practice consistently?

I start the week having a Whatsapp conversation with a friend about heart and love in corporate leadership. Here are a couple of reflections on that conversation.
Email podcast@abty.co.uk
Don't bring your whole self to work... this is the opinion of a guest of mine recently (episode coming soon).
Here's my reflection on that idea.
Spirituality isn't yoga pants. Its doing things that nurture your spirit so that you may be more loving, peaceful, forgiving, kind, faithful, good, gentle and controlled.
When you do rituals that nurture your spirit, know you are leading yourself to being more of you.
Being you is spiritual.

I messed up recently. Here's a reflection on how I used the divine masculine to resolve it.
Love is metaphysical gravity. If it isn't the source of your leadership, you won't be the best leader you can be.
How would our workplaces be different if leaders were motivated to serve rather than be served?
Your heartwork simply requires you to do what you can with what you’ve got right where you are.

I heard this lyric over the weekend in a Santana track (Smooth)... you are my reason for reason.
It got me thinking - what is your reason for reason?
Reason meaning why and also meaning the consciousness state of reason (logic, clarity, decision making etc.)
Why do you want to be a more conscious human being?
In a world that leaves us wanting more, learn to appreciate all that you have (without having to lose it first).
Create for the love of it. Creation doesn't have to be good enough once we realise is it good for us.
We don’t FALL in love. We fall FROM love.
Then… we RISE in love.
Please do share this episode and let me know your perspective!

There was a heartwarming moment after the football the other week. Darwin Nunez gave his shirt to a young fan and he was overcome with tears of joy. It was heartwarming... until you read his sign.
"Nunez, it's my birthday. I love you more than my Dad. Please can I have your shurt"...
Here's what I thought about that moment... and its not the way the rest of the world saw it.
I will share a full account of my five days of fasting at a later date. Here's one insight that relates to your heartset and your heartwork.

I love the way the eastern philosophies counter western culture.
Consider not chasing your dream and instead, show up in love and leave space for miracles.
For your dreams are limited by what you can only imagine.
Your true authentic self is not a product of your mind, it is an expression of your heart.

At Tim Gray's Health Optimisation Summit, Paulo Pacifici said breath meditates you. If you have ten minutes and have to choose between breathwork and meditation, choose breathwork because breath is the gateway and breath meditates you.
I also believe nature meditates you.
Sometimes the closest people to us reject our heartwork. It's ok. It simply allows you to be you.
Everything is spiritual, right?
It's not a practice or a label.
Is it possibly the synthesis of heart, mind, body and soul at the level of the body?
What do you believe?

You are the paradox of being both perfectly prepared for this moment, and perfectly unfolding into the person you are becoming.
Let's walk the paradox together at www.abty.co.uk
If you were granted all your wishes but didn't get to wake up tomorrow, would you take it?
If not, how can you start living a life you realise is far more valuable than having everything you've every wanted?

write a 3 minute podcast script on heart centred leadership
[Intro Music]
Hello and welcome to today's podcast. Today, we're going to talk about heart-centred leadership and why it matters.
Leadership is often seen as a combination of power, influence, and control. But what if we told you that there's a better way to lead? What if we told you that leading with your heart could be the key to creating a more productive, positive, and inspiring workplace?
Heart-centred leadership is a term that's gaining popularity in the business world. It's a leadership style that puts people first and focuses on building relationships and trust with employees. Instead of focusing solely on the bottom line, heart-centred leaders prioritize the well-being of their team members and the organization as a whole.
So, what does heart-centred leadership look like in practice?
First and foremost, heart-centred leaders lead with empathy. They take the time to understand their team members' needs and concerns and make decisions that benefit the team as a whole. They're not afraid to show vulnerability or admit when they're wrong.
Heart-centred leaders also prioritize communication. They encourage open and honest communication within their team and create an environment where team members feel safe to express their thoughts and ideas. They actively listen to feedback and act on it.
Another key aspect of heart-centred leadership is a focus on personal growth and development. Heart-centred leaders invest in their team members' growth and development, both professionally and personally. They encourage continuous learning and provide opportunities for their team to grow and develop.
Lastly, heart-centred leaders lead with purpose. They have a clear vision and mission for their organization and are committed to making a positive impact on the world. They inspire their team members to connect with that purpose and work towards a common goal.
So why does heart-centred leadership matter? Well, research has shown that heart-centred leadership leads to higher levels of employee engagement, job satisfaction, and overall well-being. It also leads to better organizational outcomes, such as higher productivity, profitability, and customer satisfaction.
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business world, heart-centred leadership is more important than ever. It's a leadership style that prioritizes people over profit, and creates a positive and supportive work environment that benefits everyone involved.
So, if you're a leader or aspiring to become one, consider adopting a heart-centred leadership approach. Your team members, organization, and the world will thank you for it.
Thank you for listening to today's podcast. Join us again next time for more insights and ideas on leadership and personal growth.

Define the current reality, and ask if more of the same is acceptable... this is what creates the context for change. Not your inspiring vision.
I heard this one liner this week and it said... is your ultimate losing to your immediate.
If you were to reflect on your last 24-48 hours has your efforts been focused on your ultimate or your immediate?
If you are having to convince anyone that heart-centred leadership is the right thing to do, you're in the wrong room.

Courage is not having all the information. That would be called logic. It's about showing up in alignment with how you genuinely think and feel. It's courage because it carries the risk of rejection and ridicule. The world needs more people with the courage to express themselves rather than hide behind the views and opinions of a faceless narrative. The conversation has to make space for disagreement. And that is ok. Here's to having the courage to express ourselves and the humility to keep learning.
Will you have the courage to stand on your hill?

I gave a talk this morning on the topic of permission to lead. Here is a short insight from that talk. Rather than seeking permission, go and make things possible.
Nature has a way of letting you know know you’re in the right place doing the right thing with the right people. Take inventory. Curate your life. podcast@abty.co.uk
Brooke knows where her beauty is. Being beautiful isn't about the way we look its about our way of being full of beauty. You are full of beauty. Allow that to shine through and let go of the untruth you've be led to believe.
You can't be a prophet in your own home. Keep showing up in the world for those who believe in the possibilities you can create for them.

My wife is doing more heartwork this year. I hope she suspends expectation and judgment and leaves space for the miracles.
I hope the same for you. I hope your 2023 dreams don't come true for they are limited by your imagination. Instead I hope things happen beyond what you imagine possible.
The world has got greatness wrong. Greatness isn't about being better than average or being someone important or distinguished. It is about having the humility and willingness to serve others. That is greatness in this moment. That is greatness manifesting itself through you. You don't need to be fully equipped. Your willingness makes space for you to be equipped along the way. Just answer the call to serve.
The world needs your heartwork. But the enemies will make you doubt that, distract you from bringing it and deceive you of being capable or needed. Speak truth to the lies and know that if you are experiencing the enemies, you are close to bringing something the world needs.
The enemy only succeeds when you don't bring your heartwork to the world.
Darkness is not an entity. It is simply the absence of light.
Nothing can stop heartwork when you show up and serve with devotion and discipline.
Speak truth to the lies. Your heartwork is needed.
On episode 205 I am joined by Chris Wark. Chris is a young adult cancer survivor, bestselling author, and patient advocate.

Six years later, in 2010, Chris began sharing his story of faith, courage, and determination, and his message of hope that chronic diseases like cancer can be prevented and reversed with a radical transformation of diet and lifestyle.
In the last decade, Chris has become one of the most well-known cancer survivors on the planet and reaches millions of people per year as a blogger, podcaster, speaker and global health coach through his books, social media and his website ChrisBeatCancer.com
Chris is the author of the national bestseller Chris Beat Cancer: A Comprehensive Plan for Healing Naturally, Beat Cancer Daily: 365 Days of Inspiration, Encouragement, and Action Steps to Survive and Thrive and his third book, Beat Cancer Kitchen: Deliciously Simple Plant-Based Anticancer Recipes.
Chris is also creator of the SQUARE ONE Cancer Coaching Program, which has been shared with over 1 million people globally since 2017.
This episode isn’t out to create fear or offend anyone. Quite the opposite. It is about sharing Chris’ story and opening up the possibilities of hope, love and healing.

How to be more rich... desire less. Appreciate all you have, without needing more or having to lose it first.
This weekend I watched Russell Brand on the Joe Rogan Experience from 2017. In it, Russell told a story about how the services rich people get isn't about the person but in fact a symptom of people making money out of them. I found that fascinating. It keeps us humble. The most meaningful things of this world are not things. So please do bring more of your heartset and your heartwork this year.
Before Christmas I was invited to give a talk on what it means to be a modern man. Here's a few highlights from that talk.

Come to the world as an expression of who you are. Partner with love and bring your creation to the world. Use it to serve others. You will benefit. Others will benefit. This is the beginning of your heartprint. Know that creation cannot be judged. It is simply for those who need it. And forget about perfect. As Rob Bell said, find me a straight river. Nature is perfectly imperfect. So are you.

Here is one of my favourite take-aways from episode 198 with Dr. John Demartini.
Be careful not to put people on pedestals or in the pits. Instead, put them in your heart.
Don't put yourself ahead of the needs of others. That's careless.
Don't put others first to the detriment of yourself. that's careful.
Instead, come together as something greater.
I think we need to understand the values of the next generation and what's shaped them.
Seeing you burned out and your home broken is probably enough for them to not value progressing in the corporate world... certainly not at the expense of their health, wellbeing and relationships.
Once we understand our people better, we will find plenty of opportunities for them to feel like they belong, like they matter and can do their best work.

I asked ChatGPT what style of leadership was needed in the future.
In short, as leaders you'll need to navigate the grey, be values based and take people with you.

Mrs H has started to make space for creativity. Her willingness to partner with creation is serving her well.

do the ones you love get the best of you or the rest of you?
So often success outside of the home comes at the expense of the home.
Don't let that be true for you.
Let's talk: www.abty.co.uk/connect
Suffering leads us to truth. Suffering leads us to God's full expression through us. Suffering leads us to love in ways that wouldn't be otherwise possible without it.
"Zeus has led us on to know,
the Helmsman lays it down as law
that we must suffer, suffer into truth."
- Aeschylus’s Agamemnon
8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to relieve me of this.
9 But he answered me, “My grace is always more than enough for you, and my power finds its full expression through your weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12: 8-10 TPT

Watch Free Solo on Netflix to see an incredible human achievement. In it, Alex said that when he’s on the rock face it isn’t about overcoming his fear, it’s about expanding his comfort zone. How will you expand your comfort zone today?

Our Good Fathers have been in relationship a total of 105 years, and yet we are still trying to learn more about what makes our partner feel loved and how we can help them when they are stressed.
You can learn too by:
A. taking your love language profile: https://5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/love-language
B. taking your life language profile: https://abty.co.uk/gift
C. join cohort two of Good Fathers in January: https://abty.co.uk/good-fathers
Leadership is influence - John C. Maxwell (there’s nothing wrong with influence. But the influencers you see aren’t influencing. They are attention seeking. They are draining your light to make themselves shine brighter. True influencers leave others shining brighter).
I don't believe we SHOULD be better than yesterday, but rather show up and do our best and being better will simply be the result. But what if you're not bringing your truest expression of yourself to the world? Then no wonder you judge yourself. Because you know you can do better. Question is, will you?
When you look at the number of ancestors who have gone before us, I don't think it is random or an accident. The odds of us being here are so small that we have to start lives worth of such significance and meaning. Just think of all the "chance" meetings, the love stories, the struggles. All those moments, leading to you being here today.

there's so much on, that there's nothing to watch... sound familiar? That's the paradox of choice.
Start to filter things through your value, purpose and who you want to become and things will start to make more sense.
Email me at podcast@abty.co.uk
If Men don't assume responsibility for something in their life and give it meaning, they'll become Peter Pan and just pursue pleasure. Having things easy makes men weak and self serving. We need men full of purpose and heart. We need Men to take responsibility.
If we know 1,000 people, who each know a 1,000 people, we are only ever 1 person away from a million people and 2 people away from 1 billion people. Your heartprint isn't found through speaking to all of them at once. It is found in loving the one in front.
You don't have to force caring about your team. Simply connect with the human being in front of you. Love will take care of the rest.

Those who long to leave a footprint will never fly - Sadhguru
What does this mean in the context of heartprint?
Simply be inspired by your heartprint being the result, and always show up and do your best to love the one in front.
Lets talk: www.abty.co.uk/connect
This weekend, I encourage you to walk slower. Here are my observation when I walk slower. I wonder what possibilities walking slower creates for you.
True belonging doesn't require you to bring the best of you. It requires you to bring all of you, and have that accepted.
I hope you can find the intentionality in your heartset to choose and accept your team and all of what they bring, the good, the bad, the strengths, the weaknesses, the desirable and less desirable.
If love is the synthesis of thesis and antithesis, then your heart-centred leadership has the power to create more light in the world by choosing to love and accept all of it.

It's easy to lead when the going is good. The true mark of a leader is how they show up under pressure.
Heart centred leaders find ways of still being loving, kind, appreciative, serving and willing to sacrifice.
Don't be the type of leader who lets sh*t role downhill.
Serve and protect your team and they'll turn up for each other, not in on each other when pressure inevitably hits.
Lets talk: www.abty.co.uk/connect
Some leaders take our hope. Great leaders give us hope.

Gary Vee shared this idea of Document not Create. I have taken this concept to heart and it has revealed so many possibilities. Forget this as a business concept... i'm inspired by the fact I am leaving a #heartprint with those who i'll never get to meet.

On episode 194 we revisit episode 88 with Austin Hatch. Austin is a motivational speaker and survivor of two plane crashes.
On Labor Day of 2003, Hatch and his family were flying home from their vacation home in northern Michigan. As they were preparing to land, the aircraft crashed and burst into flames. Hatch’s dad threw him out of the plane, saving his life and went back into the flames to get his mother, sister and brother, but tragically, was unable to. His mother, sister and brother did not survive.
Hatch and his father grieved their loss but became each other’s lifeline through the grief, pushing each other to overcome the loss, as he knew his mom, sister and brother would’ve wanted. Hatch’s dream was to play for Michigan. On June 15, 2011, Coach Beilein offered him a full scholarship to play basketball at The University of Michigan, which he accepted.
Nine days later, on June 24th, 2011, Hatch's father and “second mother” were flying to their vacation home to have a weekend of celebration. As they were preparing to land, the aircraft crashed and Hatch’s father and second mom were killed on impact. Hatch suffered severe injuries and nearly lost his life. After being in a coma for two months, he had to relearn how to walk, talk, eat and basically how to live his life, once he woke up. With the help of many, many people and against the odds, Hatch persevered and was able to make a solid comeback to take the place at university that was held open for him.
Seven years later, Hatch became a graduate of The University of Michigan and is working at Dominos’ corporate offices. Hatch is married to an absolutely, incredible woman named Abigail who pushes him forward, making him better every single day. He considers himself to be blessed – with an incredible family and with his wife, looking forward to building one of their own in a few years.
Hatch believes that in part, the reason he survived two plane crashes, endured tragic losses and made it through an amazing road to recovery, was to help others. He has been sharing his story of encouragement to help inspire others to work harder and get better in the years since.
In this episode you will hear:
03:00 surviving a plane crash at 8 years old
05:00 a tragic second plane crash
08:00 overcoming odds of 1 in 11,560,000,000,000

Happiness is fleeting. It is situational, circumstantial and conditional. We have been conditioned to believe it is OUT THERE and the very pursuit of it reveals its absence. Happiness is not a state of being. But JOY is. The state of joy is always available. It just first you requires you to connect with your heartset.

Can you develop a heart and mind of unconditional positive regard for those you lead? Free of judgment and full of acceptance? See what happens when you love people unconditionally. People grow where they are loved.
Love seeks your potential. Fear seeks your performance.
the paradox is that unconditional acceptance will leave you and those around you better.

My good friend Jason Johnson sent my clip of Simon Sinek talking. In it, he was asked "how do I get more out of my people". In this episode, I expand on his response. This is #heartset

The world needs your heartwork. This is God's expression through you.
The only way the enemy can stop that is to have you doubt your beliefs and believe your doubts.
If you are experiencing doubt, know that you are the closest you have ever been to bringing your heartwork to the world. It is needed.

If all we have ever known is conditional human love, why would we expects anything different from self love?
Self love isn't supposed to be hedonistic. Nor is it supposed to be conditional. This is why self love needs to be experienced through a higher power. Allow God to show you how wonderfully made you are. Love isn't blind. Love sees all and chooses to love anyway.
I hope this helps you in find unconditional love in someway.
Can you imagine if more organisations and senior leaders took part in reverse mentoring?

Emotions are a feedback mechanism. They are sensory equipment. Learn to understand what they are telling you and you will begin to master your Heartset. this is how you lead yourself to higher outcomes. Remember, your emotions are nature's way of letting you know whether you're in the right place with the right people doing the right thing... or not.

Last week I shared an insight from Jonny Wilkinson, so it only fair I share an insight from the other candidate for greatest fly half of all time. At the age of 28, Dan Carter, was in his prime. He got injured in the training camp prior to the 2011 world cup which was based in his home country of New Zealand. Remembering the goal he set himself, instead of wallowing in self-pity, he focused on doing what an All Black great would do... which was to be a great team mate. This is a reminder that in this present moment, we can benefit from the wisdom, guidance and accountability of our future selves. Take a moment and focus on who you are becoming and then ask yourself, what would they do in your current situation?
This month, our topic for ask me anything is leadership.
I am joined by Nathan Todd (www.instagram.com/therealnathantodd)
If you have any unanswered questions please DM me www.instagram.com/alwaysbetterthanyesterdayuk or email podcast@abty.co.uk

As a World Rugby Consultant, Craig travels the world, supporting the development of growing Rugby Nations. He is now actively involved in supporting Fiji in their quest for success at the Rugby World Cup in 2023
Craig is also consulting for Harlequins in the UK Rugby Premiership. The role allows him to give advice on leadership, culture, interpersonal skills, and high-performance.
In 2016 Craig created an organisation called Men Without Masks dedicated to supporting the lives of men, empowering them to live a life of purpose. We run men's retreats and offer private coaching. The retreats are incredibly humbling and sacred to him.
Everyday, Craig is learning more about himself, his place in the world, and how he can share his gifts with others. He is happy to say that he still knows nothing. For, he will always have a beginners mind. Learning never stops.

To encourage your heart-centred leadership, here are some reflections on the difference between leading with love and leading with fear. I hope this reassures you that the world needs your heart and motivates you to want to bring more love to the world of leadership.
Servant leadership. I believe there is no leadership without service. Here are 5 reflections from John C. Maxwell's book Developing the Leader Within You 2.0 that can nudge your servant leadership higher.
Jonny Wilkinson has recently come out and said that when he was the best in the world, he was mentally unhealthy. Be careful who you put on a pedestal. Remember there is so much you are not aware of. Especially the consequences. So make sure you focus on your journey. Sure be inspired and learn a thing or two along the way. But add it to what works FOR YOU. Never sell your peace for prizes.
This episode contains my reflections on the book of Ecclesiastes and why King Solomon was still depressed even though he had the best of every visible delight.
On episode 189 I am joined by retired Royal Navy Commanding Officer and author Ryan Ramsey.
Ryan was on active duty in the Submarine Service from 1991 until 2014. He served onboard four diesel submarines and six nuclear powered attack submarines. His leadership and teamwork has been tested in the most arduous of conditions during an operationally focused career (seventeen patrols, of which six were in command).
He has also worked for the Royal Netherlands Navy, US Navy, and Counter Terrorism forces. The zenith of his military assignments was as captain of the nuclear-powered submarine HMS Turbulent (2008–2011), where he was privileged to serve 484 men, leading on covert clandestine missions worldwide.
Thereafter he was selected as teacher-commander of the world-renowned submarine command course Perisher. There he was responsible for teaching the next generation of nuclear submarine captains to deal with the challenges of leadership, risk-taking, and decision-making in the twenty-first century.
Ryan has completed master’s degrees in defence studies (King’s College London) and science and technology (Kingston University). He is alumni of the Windsor Leadership Programme and uses a variety of leadership training and experience to assist others for no profit.
Married to Corrinne, with two football-obsessed children, he has cut back on maintaining his skills as a qualified pilot, diver, and advanced driver to hone his skills as a football referee, which satisfies his need to manage conflict!
In this episode you will hear:
02:30 Submariner - love it or hate it!
03:30 Developing your own leadership style
07:00 the hardest part of being a captain
09:00 HMS Turbulent deployment context
10:30 troublesome to our enemies
11:30 acknowledging the whole family sacrifice

34:00 mental agility, decision making, timing, consistency and leadership
37:00 what business leaders could take from the Perisher command course
39:30 training to your limits
43:00 post command blues
45:00 know yourself, understand the context and be kind
47:30 Ryan’s Heartprint

Your affirmation to meditate or moralise upon today is: I CREAT POSSIBILITY
Allow your subconscious to reveal the possibility you create.
This will give you a clue as to what your heartprint is.

I was the odd one out. The seemingly unwanted. I nearly had my last name changed to fit my step-dad and my siblings. Fortunately I didn't. It gave me the perfect opportunity to start shaping for my own family what it means to be a Hartley.
I hope this empowers you to continue to create your own identity.
Liver King has captured my curiosity. You can check him out here and make your own mind up: www.instagram.com/liverking
He shared some wisdom on the Diary of a CEO podcast which you can watch here: https://youtu.be/78_jmynAjLw
Here's a one liner I took that I think is gold and something which I think we should all be reminded of in business, leadership and parenting.
Model it. Teach it. Preach it. In that order!
On episode 188 I am joined by human and animal soul whisperer, Ginny Jablonski.
Ginny was forced to retire from her career in international security due to health issues which were further compounded due to the prescription of opioids, which ultimately led to her second NDE where her brain forgot to tell her lungs to breathe.
During this second NDE, Ginny was reminded that she has important work to do and instead of walking off hand in hand with Jesus, she returned back to her physical body, regretfully, but with advanced levels of consciousness.
As an Intuitive, Ginny helps both humans and animals understand how past trauma is affecting their lives. The experiences of her own life compelled her on a journey of exploring the complexities of consciousness through the study and understanding of multiple esoteric traditions and modalities.
She shares what she has learned on her journey to self-awareness with others in easy to understand language that is both practical and highly esoteric in nature. Her greatest passion is to promote the evolution of interspecies consciousness, allowing us to deepen our bonds with our animal friends.
In this episode you will hear:
01:15 Protection Agent
05:00 Opioid crisis
09:00 bedridden during children’s formative years
10:30 my brain forgot to tell my lungs to breathe

Bradley Garrett said this on the Russell Brand Podcast - "if you don't emerge from the bunker, it is a tomb".
It was said in the context of the last few years. Here's my perspective on what it means for leaders.
This is a short episode inspired by Callum Johns, (Graphic Vibes... not Marine Vibes as I mistakenly said!) https://graphicvibes.co.uk/
I don't hope good people like you and Callum have your dreams come true. I wish for greater blessings than you could ever imagine.
Given that Callum is about to go on board a super yacht, I throw in a few Moana references and metaphors... you're welcome
Questions to consider:
How far will you go?
How will you ever know, how far you'll go if you never go?
The only way to never know is to never go. So how long will you give yourself permission to find out?
Betari's Box - a model for understanding conflict. You can read more about it here: https://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newCS_82.htm
I also refer to Power vs. Force by David R. Hawkins
If you want to see more love in the world, make sure you are bringing more love.
Your attitude affects you behaviour which in turn affect the attitude and behaviour of those around you. They become a mirror of your consciousness. Raise your consciousness and you will see and experience a more loving world.
Fear and faith both belief in an unseen future. Fear may keep us safe, but faith will leave us better. Faith is not naive. It is leadership.
On episode 187 I am joined by Bethan Laker, director and owner of The Leisure Experts, founding member of the Always Better than Yesterday community and AKA The Blonde Biker.

If you have been affected by issues of depression, grief and loss, I hope this conversation helps you in someway. If you have questions or comments for Bethan, please do email podcast@abty.co.uk

Men need not fear heart centred leadership. Men connected to their heart brings out the best in their leadership. They become willing to serve and sacrifice when tethered to their purpose and values. Toxic male leadership come from an absence of heart and a lack of love. The world becomes a better and safer place with men who lead from their heart. Please help me continue to encourage good men with good hearts.
This month the AMA topic is focused on purpose. I was joined by friends Heather Parady and Nathan Todd live as I answered questions from our community about purpose.

Katerina:
What does 'purpose' mean to you?
How do you live with purpose?
Is purpose the same as 'mission' to you?
Ann C
How do you find / know what it is?
Grace:
How do you know if you have found your purpose? What does that feel like? Xx
Debora:
When finding purpose, can it be an uncomfortable experience?
Joni:
How can you help someone find their purpose when they have no idea what it is?
Hayley:
How to maintain it when others make you question it?
Please do share, subscribe and leave a review if you found this useful as this will help us reach those who might also enjoy it too!
Here are three questions for you to ponder today:
- What is something you'd like to do this year?
Don't hope for it. Plan it.
- What did you do today that made you feel proud?
Reflect on this. Do it more often.
- If you could live in anything, what would you choose?
Dare to dream a little. Use these conversations to build connection in the moment.

Your need to be right will affect your ability to be relational. Your perspective may not be incorrect, but it may be incomplete. Suspend your need to be right and instead learn to ask better questions to gain better perspective. If you waste energy trying to reinforce your perspective, you're a fool.

My son saved my daughter from going in the nettle bushes but ended up going in himself. So often we have leaders who not only let us fall in the nettles, but they throw us there in order to save themselves. I'd like to see more leaders willing to serve and sacrifice a little to ensure the safety and wellbeing of their people. Would you like to see and experience this too? Maybe you already are... be sure to thank your leader for their heart. If you aren't, then it's your time. Email me at podcast@abty.co.uk and i'd love to be a source of encouragement for you.
Ever find yourself wanting the research or the evidence before you do something? Please don't forget that YOU are the most important data point. As a human, try things and reflect back on them to see if they left you better or worse. Do more of what helps, less of what hinders and that's how you become better than yesterday as opposed to being more average than yesterday. You are not average. There is no average human. So focus on being the best version of you.
In research methods we were taught that for every experiment where there were hypotheses being tested, we should always state our null hypothesis.
The next time you feel compelled to act, say something, have made an assumption or created a story and narrative in your head, remember your null hypothesis and know that you may not need to act, say anything, or assume correctly. Be sure to question your perspective and always seek to broaden your perspective.
Not all information requires action.
There's a lot of focus on flow states at the moment. I don't believe you can separate flow from mastery, pressure and meaning. Clyde Brolin once reported that F1 drivers such as Schumacher and Hamilton would drop 10% if they were intellectually thinking about their braking spots and when to turn in. What's the 10% you're losing by being in your mind too much? Create more flow states by surrendering intellectual control and embodying your mastery.
On episode 185 I am joined by Dr. John Gray. John is the author of the most well-known and trusted relationship book of all time, Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus.
USA Today listed his book as one of the top 10 most influential books of the last quarter century. In hardcover, it was the #1 bestselling book of the 1990s. Dr. Gray’s books are translated into approximately 45 languages in more than 100 countries and continues to be a bestseller.
John helps men and women better understand and respect their differences in both personal and professional relationships. His approach combines specific communication techniques with healthy, nutritional choices that create the brain and body chemistry for lasting health, happiness and romance.
In this episode you will hear: (I will update these)
01:30 The more aware you are of your feelings, the more you take things personally
03:00 hormonally its an addiction
08:00 advice for Fathers without a male role model

Past version of you for getting you here
Current version of you for all that you are and the
Future version of you that is worth showing up for in this very moment
Everything in your life is your responsibility, once you realise everythign in your life is your responsibility - Dr. Bruce Lipton
Why? Because it regains the power for you to be able to respond rather than react.
Your chimp response becomes replaced by your chosen response.
This is self leadership.
Do you have a hierarchy of emotions?
My encouragement to you is to judge your emotions less, be more curious and to feel it all.

If you aren't at your #best right now, consider this...
What helps you be at your best? Write a list of all the things that help you come to the world as the best version of you.
Then ask yourself, when was the last time you did any of those things? #Consistently
My #encouragement to you is to do this simple formula. +1/-1
Do 1 more thing that helps you be at your best.
Do 1 less thing that stops you from being at your best.
I hope you get to experience how much more you are able to be your best for those who need you when you look after yourself.
Always love Ryan

Thank you for being part of our heartprint. Keep leaving your mark friends.
Spirit - the quality of courage, energy, and determination.
Spiritual - not concerned with material values or pursuits.
Heartset is spiritual.

Last week I spoke to an assembly of 7-11 year olds and told them I believe kindness is in our nature.
I also said that if they struggle to be kind, then to HALT.
It’s harder to be kind and focus on others if we are:
Hungry 🍔
Angry 😡
Lonely 😭
Tired 😴
As leaders, if we are feeling and acting unkind, we simply need to halt (reducing the likelihood of leaving a negative #heartprint ) and seek to give ourselves what we need.
When we feel like we have all that we need, we are naturally able to look beyond ME and focus on WE.
This is the importance of self care and self leadership.
Leading people is hard. So give yourself what you need and come to the world, better for those who need you!
How will you be #kind to yourself today?
How will you be kind to others today?
Get your KINDNESS tees from Jonathan Darling, MBA !
Have a great week friends.
Always love

As someone who is inspired by creating a better future, I’ve usually had a good relationship with change.
Being young in service, I often got frustrated by those who resisted or feared change.
The more I’ve grown as a heart-centred leader, the more I’ve come to realise that it isn’t always a “fear” of change but more a desire for things to remain the same.
Not everyone sees the need for change. Some people are happy with things the way they are now.
💡 Little tip for change managers:
If you want to take these people with you on that journey of change, forget trying to convince them of the need for change or the benefits of that change, just simple let them know what aspects will remain the same.
Less frustration. More compassion.
Are you responsible for change? What are your thoughts on this? What works well in your world?
💙

I believe the world needs more female leaders. But only if it means they get to lead doing that they do best. I believe the world does not deserve more female leaders if it requires they change themselves to fit in, advance and succeed. The world needs more heart centred, nurturing, caring, serving and sacrificial leadership now more than ever. Few do this more naturally than women. But the world of work does not deserve these leaders if it sends them home worse for those who need them. We have a lot of opportunity to create an incredible and inclusive world where we all get to contribute of ourselves without losing ourselves. But if it requires us to change who we are, then I'd prefer we all didn't play that game.

On episode 181 I am joined by David Bryan, CEO of Keyturn PBC, poet, love warrior and entrepreneur for humanity.
After becoming a father at 21, David Bryan began working in the supply chain of construction where for over a decade he experienced pervasive non-payment of wages owed and abusive treatment by bosses. In 2014, David founded www.keyturn.comand dedicated his life to the mission of improving how people experience work and how value is exchanged between people in business.
Keyturn’s success attracted investors from the halls of Harvard Business School to Goldman Sachs, to top real estate investors, to Mark Cuban.
In 2019, after years of working 16 hour days pursuing his mission and feeling the pressures of investor funded entrepreneurship, David burnt out. He was disconnected from his three kids, his company was out of money, and so was he.
Through love, grace, meditation, the Wim Hof Method, training at Tony Robbins events, and yoga, he found freedom, renewed purpose, and inner peace. He began the process of rebuilding his life and relationships with his kids and hasn’t stopped since.
Today, David’s primary purpose and mission is not business. It is becoming a heart centered present man and father to his kids.
In this episode you will hear:
01:00 “we’re all just walking each other home” - Ram Dass
04:00 another way to do business
08:00 learning how to “BE” again

Be a leader who focuses on unity. When you attain unity, you will attain an awareness of self and the wonderful things about your heart and mind that the WE requires you to contribute.
It's not what they say about you that'll defeat you. It's what you say about you that'll defeat you. What you say about you will also equip and empower you.
Those who attain a level of greatness do not point to themselves as great but instead as a channel of greatness. How can you start to see yourself as a willing participant of greatness?

From my heart to yours.
"Good Good Father"
(written by Pat Barrett and Tony Brown)
Oh, I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like
But I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you're pleased
And that I'm never alone
You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching
For answers only you provide
'Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word
You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
'Cause you are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
Oh, it's love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love
You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You're a Good, Good Father
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
You're a Good, Good Father
(You are perfect in all of your ways)
It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are
And I'm loved by you
(You are perfect in all of your ways)
It's who I am, it's who I am it's who I am
Sometimes out hearts can become heavy. Mine has been over the last couple of weeks. Here are a few reflections on how to keep leading with a heavy heart.
If you are trying to change people for the better, you might believe you are doing it out of love right? Wrong. Love is unconditional. Drop your desire to change people. Instead love them unconditionally. People grow where they are loved.
when you feel pleasant inside, you do pleasant things - Sadhguru
This episode expands on what that means for heart-centred leaders and the importance of self care.
Happy Monday. I share a few reflections from our time at a football tournament this weekend. Does pressure get the better if you or the best of you. Does losing leave you bitter or does it make you better?
Let's not make enemies of fear, hopelessness, anger, frustration and despair. Instead, honour your heart, learn to dance under all weathers, and love yourself back to joy.

Once you start to see the 20% of things that bring about 80% of your happiness or misery, you'll know what to do.
Pareto's Law: for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes.
Eustress : beneficial stress.
Too little stress, we don't show up. Too much stress, we don't show up.
An optimal amount of stress brings out the best in our performance and can leave us better, physically and mentally.
The world is wrestling with improving equality, diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Here's a solution, but are we ready for it?

On episode 178 I am joined by Shaman and Author, Ya’acov Darling Khan,
Ya’Acov is the author of the best-selling Jaguar in the Body, Butterfly in the Heart – the Real-Life Initiation of an Everyday Shaman (Hay House 2017), and the recently released 'Shaman – Invoking Power, Purpose and Presence in the Core of Who YOU Are' (Hay House March 31 2020), is known for his blend of down-to-earth strength, humility and uplifting humour.
He is acknowledged as a practicing shaman by the people who work with him world-wide and by many indigenous elder shamans and communities from the Arctic to the Amazon.
His work is inspiring, contemporary and practical, and Ya’Acov’s audience includes people from all walks of life. In a time in which western society has become disconnected from ancestral and natural wisdom, much of his work is about education and removing the unhelpful mystique of the term ‘Shaman,’ meaning traditional healer.

38:00 1+1=3
41:00 always on the edge of what’s known to us
43:30 a prayer for us all
I hope this interview inspires your own personal evolution and leads you to trying one or two new things that will help you in your journey.

Say goodbye to Simon Cowell, Beverley Knight and Irene...
Let's stop making idols. Let's stop the doubt and judgment. Let's stop the obsession with self.
And instead realise we are all equal, take the lessons and move forward, while serving others from the overflow.
Like this one? Let me know podcast@abty.co.uk
Too many business focus on growth and new customers over looking after the ones who have already committed their time, attention and resources to our products and services.
I believe heart-centred leaders should focus more effort on nurturing their community rather than solely focusing on growing it.
This is what Abbie will be doing with our community. I hope you feel the benefit.
Thank you for being here with us.

On episode 174 I am joined by John David & Ana Gabriel Mann, co-authors of The Go Giver Marriage.
John and Ana have been dreaming about cowriting The Go-Giver Marriage and bringing its message to the world ever since the first draft of John and Bob’s original book came sliding out of his desktop printer in early 2005.
For more than a decade, readers of the bestselling Go-Giver series have been clamouring for a book on how to apply the philosophy at the heart of The Go-Giver to their personal relationships. From the original story’s coauthor and his wife, a clinically trained therapist, this long-awaited sequel shows readers how to unlock a deeply satisfying, abundant relationship based on simple, everyday acts of generosity.
Over the years since the original book’s publication, the term “go-giv-er” has become shorthand for a defining set of values that has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world find greater professional success. Now, with its charming fable-within-a-parable, followed by an in-depth practical guide, The Go-Giver Marriage brings the personal side of The Go-Giver to life.
John David Mann is coauthor of more than thirty books, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers; his classic 2008 parable The Go-Giver (coauthored with Bob Burg) earned the 2017 Living Now Book Award’s “Evergreen Medal” given for its “contribution to positive global change.”
Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A. earned her degree in clinical psychology before going on to serve as a celebrated educator, therapist, corporate trainer, speaker, and coach. She currently coaches Go-Giver Marriage clients and leads the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches Training Program, training coaches from around the globe.

34:00 the intangibles in a marriage

Teach them early, what we learn late
and...
Remain open hearted and open minded to learn from anything, anyone at anytime.
Following on from last weeks Evolution is Collaboration episode. I want you to consider who loses if you do not win? When heart-centred leaders get better, it is because they have helped those around them get better. Who isn't having the opportunity to reach their potential without your help?
We've romanticised the David and Goliath story. It isn't an underdog story. It is a story of courage and strategy.
Goliath's greatest strengths were his greatest weakness.
David's great weakness was his greatest strength.
Like a game of paper, rock, scissors. David's victory was strategic.... and it also took courage to go and face up to the warrior.
Life has a way of letting us know what is right for now. Our job is not to fight it but to learn to adjust to it.
Some of you are doing 70 in a 30 - learn to adjust
Some of you are doing 50 in a 70 - will you give more?

Competition requires winners to create losers.
Collaboration creates as many winners as possible.
There's been a recurring theme in a couple of my recent interviews and it revolves around the word BUT.
Stop using it after saying something positive, or after I love you or after I am sorry... because it invalidates everything you've said up until that point!
If you have to use the word, use it after saying something negative, or that you don't want to or like and it'll help you move forward with gratitude and appreciation.
Carrying on from our episode earlier in the week, I share insights from a business perspective.
Should our team and organisation follow its heart or mind? Can we justify following our heart?
It is both. Heart first then handover to the mind to do what it does best.

Should I follow my head or my heart. My advice is if we connect with our heart first, they will both say the same. There are risks in following the mind first as I explain in this episode.
Perhaps the greatest flaw in our thinking is to think there should be no flaws in our thinking.
I believe we should pay attention to those pressured situations that bring the best out of us rather than get the better of us. In this episode I reflect on my daughters first appearance on the stage and what I think it reveals about our heartset.
In this short episode I share two pathways that you can explore. Character based confidence and competence based confidence.
I hope it serves you well.
On episode 170 I am joined by Jennifer Thomas, PhD, a clinical psychologist, consultant, TEDx speaker, author, and master facilitator for The 5 Love Languages.
Jennifer is the co-author of The 5 Apology Languages along with Dr. Gary Chapman, author of The 5 Love Languages. (Watch Dr. Gary Chapman on Ep 112 here: https://youtu.be/x9XkKFzhzCI )
In The 5 Apology Languages, Chapman and Thomas share their research on the importance of apologising effectively, explain how people speak differing apology languages, explore whether it’s possible to forgive without an apology, share how to learn your primary apology language and that of other people, and tell how to make your efforts at apologizing most productive. The languages they explore include:
• Expressing Regret: The power of “I’m sorry”
• Accepting Responsibility: Admitting “I was wrong”
• Making Restitution: Trying to repair what went wrong
• Planned Change: Making a plan to do things differently
• Requesting Forgiveness: Asking for forgiveness demonstrates sincerity
In this episode you will hear:
02:00 the British habit of constantly apologising
03:00 have we lost the art of a sincere apology?
04:00 when sorry isn’t enough
05:15 the Five Apology Languages
11:20 can you find it in your HEART to forgive me?
13:30 great leaders give great apologies
15:30 keep your BUT out
18:30 use all five and stop - don’t even bring in extenuating circumstance to your apology
20:15 why leaders should apologise in person
23:00 a letter from a daughter to her father - the more you admit you are wrong, the more respect I have for you
28:30 call off the forgiveness police
29:30 Sorry Not Sorry
31:30 an epidemic of negative attribution
34:00 encouragement for a new generation of leader
37:30 sharing your language with others
I hope this interview inspires you to be a leader who can sincerely apologise to those who need to hear it.

Day one is all about HEARTSET.
I hope it inspires you to connect with and lead from your heartset.
Join us tomorrow where we will explore HEARTWORK.
Always love
Ryan
Sometimes we can hold ourselves back. Its like we have our own handbrake one.
These two mindsets will help release that handbrake.
-
I'll figure it out - confidence is often the result of doing the thing you're not doing because you're not confident yet
-
Why not me - put yourself in the space and place to make the most of opportunities. You can't grow if you don't go.
It's a journey. Keep showing up!
I love this one liner from Will by Will Smith
"It is respectable to lose to the universe. It is a tragedy to lose to yourself" - Will
I hope you enjoy my reflections.
Keep showing up, have fun, do your best & leave space for those miracles.

Don't be like Timon. Either ask the question and want to know the answer, or don't ask the question.
What's the question?
How are you?
My favourite oner liner on the podcast comes from Dr. Deborah Rozman who said "we don't say I love you with all of my mind".
Here's what I think about that and how you can use it to your advantage.
I'm reading Will Smith's memoir "Will" which is really good and gets to the heart of Will the human. His Daddio taught him some important lessons as a child. Here's one that I think represents the ABTY mindset. Don't focus on the wall, just lay the next brick. I add some caution to this advice, but in the main, it is very applicable.
On episode 167 I am joined by our great friend, Heather Parady. Heather is a mental health therapist turned online entrepreneur where she helps outside the box leaders bring their services online in order to scale their impact.
She is the host of multiple top-ranked podcasts including Unconventional Leaders, Happy Brain and NFT’s for Newbies which she co-hosts with Rich Cardona.
Heather has been featured in Forbes, Pop-Sugar, and most importantly the front of her mom’s refrigerator.
Heather is an incredible community builder and it was a pleasure to be able to honour the impact she has created with Unconventional Leaders, as she moves into a new chapter. We talk about the process of letting the UL community go and having the courage to step into her calling and much more…
In this episode you will hear:
03:00 time to close a chapter
05:30 how Heather came to the decision to archive Unconventional Leaders
09:00 community building real talk
13:30 it feels so weird, but let’s just try it
15:00 NFT’s for Newbies
20:45 NFT’s are more than just a jpeg and it’s implication for community builders
28:00 community building on Discord demand presence
30:00 Heather’s lessons from hosting Happy Brain
31:30 we need your voice now more than ever
I hope this interview inspires you to pursue your calling and have the courage to try something new.

We've all heard the song. But have we taken a moment to connect with the power in the words?
Freed from desire - Gala 1997
For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it 1 Timothy 6:7
BE > DO > HAVE
We do not need to have more and do more in order to become more.
Make your moments matter.
Leave your heartprint.
Get your tickets to our 5 year celebration here. We would love to celebrate with you!
I have finally finished Karma by Sadhguru
He said this... "if unconscious, you will go places, but will you be able to decide where?"
We are able to decide where when we use our heartset to guide the way.
Always love
Ryan
Hope isn't a strategy. It isn't meant to be. But it is a heartset.
If we want to create a better future for ourselves, our future and the world, we have to have hope.
Without it, we perish.
Hope is a heartset.

As a psychology specialist, serial entrepreneur and successful businessman, Tim founded and invested in multiple 7-figure businesses, including several digital marketing agencies, and London’s first private Hyperbaric Oxygen Clinic.

Last week while on holiday, Liza and I binged Love is Blind Season Two. We loved it. Hear are some of my insights and reflections on whether love is blind and why heart to heart connection is powerful, but is it enough?
I love that as humans we search for meaning. But sometimes that can hold us back. Stop searching for meaning in these instances.
Your greatest form of influence is through who you are not what you done or the titles you have.
Here's some more wisdom from a children's book. This time it comes from A squash and a squeeze by Julia Donaldson, author of the Gruffalo

Who do you want to be when you grow up?
"Kind" says the boy. From the boy, the mole, the fox and the horse
I hope this short episode inspires your freedom.
How do we know what is heart centred?
Here are a few concepts i've leaned along the way.
What have you learned along your way?
More inspiration from the world of sport post match interviews, this time from the youngest NFL Superbowl Champion Head Coach Sean McVay.
He said his team have been focusing on competitive greatness - being able to give their best when their best is required.
Here are my thoughts on that. I'd love to know yours!
Welcome back to part two of episode 163 where I am joined by Dr. Bruce Lipton. Bruce is a cell biologist, lecturer and an internationally recognised leader in bridging science and spirit.
Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University. He is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, The Honeymoon Effect, and co- author with Steve Bhaerman of Spontaneous Evolution.
Bruce received the 2009 prestigious Goi Peace Award (Japan) in honour of his scientific contribution to world harmony.
There is so much heart and mind expanding content that I have made this a two part special episode which will give you plenty of time to let the wisdom sink in.
Bruce shares his 50+ years experience of science and cell biology and there will no doubt be things you hear which may be new to you or counter to the world view that many people will hold. I invite you to listen to this episode with curiosity, an open mind and I extend a continued invitation to seek your own experiences.
Nothing you hear in this episode is medical advice.
In part two you will hear:
01:30 It’s the environment stupid! The status of your health is a reflection of what’s going on the outside.
07:00 leading like a nobel gas
13:00 we live 95% of our lives based on programme we gained before the age of 7

What happens when conversations don't go the way you intend it to go? You put yourself to oneside and be who the other person needs you to be in that moment.
It’s might not be our PHALT but it is our responsibility. Look after yourself. Tend to your pain, hunger, anger, loneliness and tiredness and come back to the world better for those who need you.
On episode 163 I am joined by Dr. Bruce Lipton. Bruce is a cell biologist, lecturer and an internationally recognised leader in bridging science and spirit.
Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University. He is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, The Honeymoon Effect, and co- author with Steve Bhaerman of Spontaneous Evolution.
Bruce shares his 50+ years experience of science and cell biology and there will no doubt be things you hear which may be new to you or counter to the world view that many people will hold. I invite you to listen to this episode with curiosity, an open mind and I extend a continued invitation to seek your own experiences.
Nothing you hear in this episode is medical advice.
In part one you will hear:
03:30 – 23:00 The Future of Leadership is Mammalian. A movement into evolution. Why corporations do not care about you. A wake-up call to take our power back.
24:00 – 30:25 challenging the church of science
30:45 – conscious control over our immune system Stress hormones shutting down growth and maintenance of the body.
38:00 90 per cent of illness is due to stress
42:00 a lack of knowledge is a lack of power

Join us next week where Bruce and I continue the conversation and you will hear about the new science of Epigenetics, the importance of the environment on our health, why we should learn to lead like a nobel gas, the implications of what we learn in the first 7 years of our life and Bruce’s final thought on the future of our humanity.

I get the sense people have two dreams. One with their mind and one with their heart. Give your heart's dream every chance of being realised.
I recall a story from a couple of year ago when I offered a lady a lift home and relieve her of the terrible weather conditions.
Lead yourself | Lead others | Leave a heartprint
Leadership is a verb. It is the act of putting your own needs to oneside to serve others. It is the act of overcoming your chimp response. It is the act of choosing a better response. It is the act of getting the best out of yourself. It is the act of getting the best out of other people. It is the act of getting the best out of situations.
It leaves a heartprint where those around you are left better than yesterday.
Less focus on memorising knowledge and instead seeking heartset connection and experiences that help us serve others the best way possible.
On episode 162 I am joined by Stu Semigran, Co-Founder and President of EduCare Foundation.
Stu has more than forty years’ experience as an educator, teaching in urban public schools and subsequently developing and facilitating training programs for youth and adults in educational settings worldwide.

Once you open your heart and mind to opportunity, your eyes see it everywhere. Remove choice, start with the end in mind, work your way back and be specific.
I recently read these words and they haunted me. I hope they give you the shake you need to bring more of yourself and your heart to this world.
The only thing worse than getting old is not.
Don't wait for one of life's great tragedies before you start living with intention, meaning and purpose.
Life everyday now, with heart.

If you're familiar with goal setting your goals are probably SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and time Based) but are the PURE.
I invite you to apply the PURE test to your goals. Your goals are PURE when they are:
P - Positively Stated
U - Under your Control
R - Relevant (to your heartset and heartwork)
E - Ecology (understanding who is affected by you achieving your goal, positively and negatively)
Hope this helps in someway.
Always love
Ryan
These four cartesian questions will help you with your next tough decision. They will open your mind to possibilities and perspectives that will really help you make an intentional decision and help you move forward with confidence.
-
What will happen if I do this
-
What will happen if I don't do this
-
What won't happen if I do this
4 What won't happen if I don't do this
Hope this helps in someway! Share it with your team?

When we learn the paradox that the gap presents, we can learn to love all that is now and be inspired by all that could be.
The Shamrock Principle
-
a mentor
-
someone you mentor
= a peer
These three people will absolutely help you be better than you were yesterday.
On episode 160 I am joined by Nick Elam, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership at Ball State University and creator of the Elam Ending, a new basketball format.
Nick Elam, Ph.D. is a career-long educator. He prepares aspiring school leaders to serve in the field. Elam previously served as a school principal and math teacher. Along the way, Elam has served in a variety of roles in the sports world.
In 2007, Nick devised a new format for basketball, whereby the final portion of the game would be played without a game clock as a way to preserve a more natural and exciting style of play. After years of researching and promoting this concept, the Elam Ending was finally implemented for the first time by TBT: The Basketball Tournament in 2017.
Since then, the Elam Ending has grown rapidly throughout the basketball world, being implemented at the NBA All-Star Game, Canadian Elite Basketball League, and dozens of grassroots-level leagues and events.
Dr. Elam has shared his research and story in over 300 outlets, including schools, businesses, academic conferences, written articles, and podcast/radio/TV programs.

Create clarity on these six questions and you will be amazed at how much it helps you, your team and your organisation be better than yesterday.
- Why do we exist? (Purpose)
- How do we behave? (Values)
- What do we do? (Products & Services)
- How will we succeed? (Strategy)
- What is most important, right now? (Goals)
- Who must do what? (Roles & Responsibilities)

If you want to empower your next generation, open your heartset and mindset to consider them the present generation.
Insist on their contribution. Be unconditional. Ask questions. Learn from each other. Embrace conflict. Foster commitment. Leave them feeling valued. Have great innovation and improvements.
All because you had the courage to lead differently.
What we do for ourselves will be forgotten.
What we do for others will be remembered forever.
Darkness is the absence of light. Light is love. Be someone you love and do more of what you love and you’ll inspire others to bring their light to the world too.
On episode 159 I am joined by Jane Finette. Jane is the Founder and Executive Director of The Coaching Fellowship, a nonprofit organisation dedicated to the development of young women leaders in social change.

She has dedicated her life to achieving equality for women — empowering them to create impact and build the world of tomorrow, today.
Jane is the author of Unlocked: How Empowered Women Empower Women a book that was inspired by the decimation of women in the workforce and the lost generation that is unfolding before our eyes.

Words have energy. They have power. They can lead us better or worse, more positive or negative, more connected or disconnected.
Here are 5 examples
-
Good
-
But
-
Yet
-
Always / Never and the story I am telling myself is
-
You make me
Hope they help you consciously choose words that bring the best out of you and those around you.
Always love

This one is for those of you who are the first generation of change makers, the first in your family to seek to be better than you were yesterday.
I hope you feel encouraged by this message and reminded to give yourself grace and space along this journey.
You are changing the destiny of your future generations and will meet great resistance along the way.
This is your heartprint. Here for you always.
Always love
Ryan
Your heartwork cannot be judged. It simply requires you to bring it to the world in the service of others.
It is not for everyone, but it is for someone.
Please do share this with someone who's heartwork you wish to encourage.
Always love
Ryan
Make conscious choices this year to surround yourself with people, places and things that bring you energy rather than exhaust your energy. Be someone you love and do more of what you love. One experience at a time.
Always love
Ryan

Let's throw out the expectation we get from the noun balance and embrace the verb definition.
noun: a situation in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions.
verb: counteract or equal the effect or importance of.
p.s. practice makes progress
So we've set goals and intentions but life can be distracting. Hopefully this mindset tip will help you check in with yourself and emerge more intentional.
Hope it helps.
Here's to being better than yesterday in 2022. Be sure to contact me if you'd like support connecting to your heartset and bringing your heartwork into the world.
Always love

A goal is a personal promise to your future self. Bring the best of you now and be inspired by who you'll become.

A spider caught in their own web is a tragedy of life. A human caught in their own mind is also a tragedy of life.
Your responsibility as a parent is not to help your child do more and have more. It is to help them become more.
On episode 158 I am joined by Leanne Ayin, CEO of All Heart.
Leanne has always had a keen interest in sport and social change and enjoyed senior roles within the charitable arms of Harlequin FC, Manchester City FC, Fulham FC and the Premier League. After 14 years working in the professional sports industry Leanne felt it was time to give something back and built a business that had been a dream of hers for many years.
Now the Founder and CEO of All Heart Leanne gets a huge amount of satisfaction in supporting players and athletes to use their power wealth and influence to have as much impact in the world as possible.

I truly hope this isn't the case, but are you brave enough to consider what if?
How will you show up differently?
Book: Karma by Sadhguru
Peace is on the other-side of accepting life for the way it is. Purpose is fuelled by the way life could be.
In Hold on to Your Kids by Gabor Mate, he says that parenting techniques do not work unless there is attachment. I believe the same to be true in leadership. Our people need to FEEL that we care and have their best interests to heart before any techniques we might learn on a leadership development course become effective. So leaders, make sure you are tether to your heartset first.
On episode I welcome back Matt Hill to the show having originally been a guest on episode 49! Matt is the founder of The Systema Academy, Father, Husband and former Parachute Regiment Captain.
We have an amazing conversation about the power of Systema to help with the mind, body and spirit. We cover the origins of Systema, being able to control and release stress and the importance of practicing breathwork, especially with all that is going on in the world at the moment.
In the episode you will hear:
04:00 cultivating a character of wisdom
07:00 equipping people for uncertain times with Systema
10:30 why we don’t breathe properly
15:00 using breath work as a form of stress control
17:50 your body is the map of your emotions
21:00 learning more about yourself through camps and expeditions
24:00 controlling your inner world and influencing your outer world
30:00 how families can benefit from Systema breath by breath
34:00 catching people’s imagination with the history of Systema
37:30 you can’t hide stress
40:30 exhale
I hope this conversation inspires you to explore Systema and the many ways in which you can improve your health and wellbeing in this season.
Thank you for listening and please do share with someone whose health and wellbeing you wish to inspire too.
Always love

Here's why that matters! Internal values enable us to come to the world as an expression of these values. External values are the things we'll pursue in order to find acceptance.
Too often people think they need to wait to feel more energised before they do things. They're wrong. Here's why its better to create your energy (and how) rather than waiting for it to appear.
Recently, Susan David Md. posted her views on the difference between sympathy and empathy. She believes empathy to sound like "I can imagine what this pain feels like". I don't think that fully captures the heart of empathy. This short episode gives my view on what empathy looks like, sounds like and feels like. I hope it helps you empathic heart-centred leadership.

On episode 156 I am joined by Sylvia Farbstein, speaker, Mother and Business Manager for Brandon Farbstein.
Sylvia has spent the last 2 decades learning how life presents us with unexpected twists and turns that can shake us to our core, stop us in our tracks or provide a catalyst for exciting change. Her professional world took a leap from the predictable and defined realm of private banking in New York City to one of few answers and no blueprint when her son, 22-year-old Brandon, was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism. Their experiences navigating a world not built for somebody like him prompted them to seek out ways to neither be confined nor defined by limitations, perceived or otherwise. This has lead to an entrepreneurial career path for both mother and son that has impacted millions of lives.

For the vast majority of us, we don't magically discover our purpose. We don't even go on a journey of finding it. We discover it and we define it. Once defined, we lead with it intentionally, applying it to all sorts of situations that help us refine it and get to the heart of what our purpose, our heartset and our heartwork truly is.
Inspired by @jaozolins
Left foot, right foot. Learn/plan and then implement. Reflect, adjust and keep moving forward.
We are constantly perceiving stress and our minds and bodies are suffering. Do these things to choreograph stress to help reset your nervous system and grow in the mastery of performing under pressure.
The world is far too intellectual right now and its causing a lot of distress. Connect with your heartset, develop your mindset and use your skillset to serve from love and not from fear.

meraki [may-rah-kee] (adjective) This is a word that modern Greeks often use to describe doing something with soul, creativity, or love -- when you put "something of yourself" into what you're doing, whatever it may be.
When we are in states of love, we emit light. This is what that means for leaders.
For more, see Dr. Fritz Popp - biophotons
If you want a collaborative and innovative culture, make sure you're not overly focused on "personal" performance targets. Because given the choice, your people will choose self over service because their "survival" depends on it.
We know the old science lesson - fuel + heat + oxygen = fire
Well, your inner fire = your passion + serving others + encouragement

Will today's actions help you become who you want to be and what you want to achieve tomorrow?
On episode 151 I am joined by Brendon Prince, founder of water safety charity Above Water and the first person to ever paddleboard around mainland Britain. Brendon left the UK south coast on 27th April 2021, eventually returning home 141 days later on 12th September having paddled 4,000 KM, earning 5 world records along the way.
Brendon has devoted his life to teach water safety. In October 2014, Brendon was involved in trying to save the lives of three surfers who got into trouble in big waves. As an off-duty Lifeguard, he did everything he could, both in and out of the water, but all three lost their lives in front of their families that day. In Brendon's mind, not a day passes without seeing the wife of one of the drown surfers pleading with him to bring her husband back.
Brendon made a commitment that day to do whatever was needed to stop accidental drowning in the UK. Accidental drowning is a catastrophic event for the family and the local community but in so many cases could have been avoided through an understanding of water safety and drowning prevention techniques.
The Long Paddle 2021 is about more than breaking world records and raising money for charity. There isn’t nearly enough education around water safety here in the UK, especially considering we’re an island nation.
Brendon is fundraising for the development of the world’s first-ever water safety app – an innovative, gamified app that will teach children and young adults about water safety.
In the episode you will hear:
01:15 the first person to ever circumnavigate mainland Britain and four other world records
02:30 EIGHT MILLION paddle strokes
05:20 Audience Question from Corey - what time would you get up and get on the board everyday?
07:15 losing three souls in front of their loved ones and the motivation behind the Long Paddle 2021
14:30 Audience Question from Abbie - did you get lonely and how did you deal with it?
17:45 without thinking
20:00 no one else is going to come and do it for you
21:00 cruising with Killer Whales
25:00 the Long Paddle team getting through a 141 day expedition and nothing went wrong
28:00 fuelling the body, pre-empting your needs and learning to sleep anywhere
30:30 up to 30km/19 miles from land
32:45 we are an island nation with such diverse coastlines, conditions, wildlife and cultures
35:30 the good, the bad and the ugly of our coastlines
36:20 the Torbay homecoming after 141 days
38:00 taking a knee to the Lord for keeping him safe
39:30 the legacy of the Long Paddle 2021 and getting a solution for 9 million children to be taught water safety
43:00 the highlight of the expedition were the people met along the way
46:00 challenge your mindset when you’re next around water
We have been able to play a small part in donating to Brendon’s cause. If you would like to contribute too, please donate at: https://thelongpaddle.co.uk/donate/
Thank you for listening and please do share this so that many many more people can hear Brendon’s story and make this life saving education a closer reality.
Always love

It is not what happens but our perception of what happens that makes a difference to our health and leadership.
On episode 150 I am joined by Claude Silver, Chief Heart Officer at Vayner Media. Claude says her life’s purpose is to be of joyful service and unlock emotional optimism in all.
Claude believes cultivating Emotional Optimism is the most effective tool in revealing the greatness that resides within people. It is the answer to the question of how can I make the people around me be better; how can I make the people around me do better? And the key lies in the heart.
Claude is the first-ever Chief Heart Officer. She takes her calling seriously and it has led her down a path of working with and working for close to 1,000 employees at VaynerMedia to integrate heart into their professional lives and become the best version of themselves and best leaders they can be.
As a motivational speaker, thought leader and industry trend setter, Claude focuses on teaching people and organisations how to disrupt the traditional HR model with the use of emotional optimism and heart-centred leadership to develop elite performance, create cultures of belonging, empower teams to be purpose-driven, efficient, and strong, and infuses companies with empathy, humanity, and joy.
In the episode you will hear:
04:15 all that matters
05:00 learning the heart of leadership in the wilderness
07:45 leading without titles and lighting people up
09:30 what isn’t the ROI of making your employees feel like they matter?!
11:15 scaling a people first culture of care and empathy
12:50 the difference between Gary Vee and Gary Vaynerchuk the human being
14:20 being paid to learn and unshackling perfection
15:30 where Claude Silver shines
16:30 Nana and Heart
17:45 emotional optimism and the hope of a better future
20:20 whatever you put in your backpack you gotta carry
21:15 being in touch with the heartbeat of your culture
23:30 when they leave the Greenhouse
23:45 fuelling the power of connectivity and overcoming toxic isolation
28:00 people will never forget how you made them feel
I really hope this conversation inspires and encourages the heart centred leader within you. Please do share it with someone you know has a heart for leading this way too so that you can be an encouragement to them!
Thank you for being here for the first 150 episodes. I look forward to bringing you more inspiring hearts and minds over next 150 weeks!
Always love
Ryan

It's subjective. Therefore it cannot be judged. So bring your light in to the world and allow those who need it and value it to find it.

The best leaders will navigate life's paradoxes and grey parts by leading with their values and principles.

My sister got married this weekend. It reminded me on the concept of perspective blindness. Here's how you can avoid it!
Do your people work for you or do you work for them? Your words reveal your heart. Make them matter. Use them to show your people matter.
Is your heart or mind leading? Do you feel pushed to do more to become more or do you feel pulled to express your gift and reach your potential?
On episode 143 I am joined by New York based Brazilian journalist and host, Pedro Andrade. After leaving Rio 20 years ago, Pedro’s career has taken him all around the world. In his latest six-part documentary, he returns to his home country and explores the Amazon.
‘Unknown Amazon’ is a sobering six-part documentary series following Pedro, as he ventures into unknown corners of the Amazon basin, a region vital to our planet’s biodiversity, meeting groups of people and cultures who share first-hand accounts of the environmental destruction they have witnessed to their regions and the issues they face as a result of climate change.
I love how Pedro seeks to humanise the stories of the people who live in the Amazon as well as posing some solutions to the issues of deforestation, gold mining, palm oil and soy farming, animal trafficking and overtourism.
In the episode you will hear:
04:00 leaving Rio and travelling the world
06:15 returning to Brazil and the Amazon
07:30 if the Amazon was a country, it would be the sixth largest country in the world
08:00 humanising headlines
10:15 what really is happening in the Amazon
12:30 what happens in the Amazon will have consequences globally
13:00 giving a megaphone to Amazonian communities
15:00 as resourceful as the Amazon is, the most important resource is the people
23:30 finding hope
25:45 falling in love with the people of the Amazon and connecting with their voice
28:30 travel is more than going from A to B
I hope this conversation inspires you to find out more about what’s really going on in the Amazon and the things we can do to help.
Always love
Ryan

On episode 142 I am joined by Justin Court, love activist and founder of the Spread Love Movement. The Spread Love Movement is a community of over 300k like hearted humans and it is Justin’s mission to help raise the level of consciousness in humanity. Justin is also the host of the Spread Love Movement Podcast, of which I was fortunate to be a guest on episode 37. Through the podcast he hopes to help shift the collective consciousness of the planet to be more loving, kind, peaceful, happy, empathetic, understanding, and accepting. He believes this can only be achieved together. It starts with each and every one of us, realising we are one, and Justin encourages us to start acting that way.

When dolphins get sick, others take in turn to push it to the surface so they can breathe. Here's what this means for us.
PEOPLE DON'T CARE HOW MUCH YOU KNOW UNTIL THEY KNOW HOW MUCH YOU CARE. HEART FIRST. MIND SECOND. INTANGIBLES FIRST. INTELLECT SECOND.
On episode 141 I am joined by Danielle Gillespie, founder of Ideas Last. Danielle Gillespie is a tech geek who thrives on building rock solid products that people love.
Her success is based on one central theme: Ideas Last.
Danielle has over 25 years of experience developing tech products. Her experience covers a variety of industries including hospitality, health and wellness, manufacturing, retail and first responders.
One thing that products in all industries have in common: the best products focus on customers first while downplaying “idea”.
Danielle has worked for start-ups of various sizes and stages for the majority of her career. She founded her own company, has held various product development roles and actively advises a handful of start-up tech companies.
In the episode you will hear:
01:00 accidentally falling in to software development
03:00 when you realise your solution can solve other problems elsewhere
04:30 a lot of entrepreneurs are being fleeced
05:00 the flaws behind an ideas mindset
08:45 get 5 people who love your product and see how they interact with it
13:00 adding significant value by doing what you’re good at
16:00 the long term success is not about the idea
17:30 the intersection of the idea and the playground
I hope this conversation inspires you to show up in the leadership playground.
Always love
Ryan

Doing your best is situational, based on the time, energy and resources you have available, right where you're at.
Inspired by Charlotte Worthington's BMX Gold Medal at Tokyo 2020, I hope this encourages you to dream, focus on the process, let it go and be in the moment.
On episode 140 I am joined by Jeff Cochran, author of the Next Level Leader (NLL) and host of the NLL podcast.
Jeff and I have a great conversation about his 17 years of leadership experience within the church, how he became inspired to take his own leadership to the Next Level and how he shows up in the world doing that every day for others.
In the episode you will hear:
07:30 next season of ministry is helping leaders take the next step

British Olympian Adam Peaty spoke incredibly well at the Olympics in Tokyo, becoming Olympic Champion once again. When you get run down and battered, remember why you do it. Let that fuel you rather than burn you out.
Be, do and then have. Yet somehow marketing has convinced us we need to fo more and have more to be more. Not true my friends. They keeps fulfilment a mirage.
To leave our next generation better. to do that, this generation need to lead themselves. To make conscious choice that take us closer to our potential.
Apostrophes reveal that there is more to see. Leaders intuitively know this and are able to connect with their people on a heart level to bring out the best in everyone.
On episode 139 I am joined by Jeff Baietto, host of the Injoy Success Podcast and COO/Co-Founder of Injoy Global.
We have an awesome conversation about redefining success and how we can help our teams and cultures develop their success mindsets. We also hear about the great work Injoy Global are doing to help coaches, authors and speakers serve their audience through gamified challenges that are both fun and get your audience engaged.
In the episode you will hear:
04:45 I know I’m successful when…
06:40 a clinically diagnosed bad attitude
09:15 feeling unconditional love for the first time
11:00 parental leadership and creating the environment where people flourish
12:30 Injoy Global
14:00 supporting coaches and authors with challenges on a Global scale
15:15 gamification challenges
17:30 fully engaged human beings
19:00 ethical gamification
21:15 why the likes of Tony Robbins and Russell Brunson use challenges
25:00 content is not the problem
29:00 connecting the dots backwards and paying attention to what moves you
31:00 the very best and the very worst things that happen to us are very often correlated
32:30 up-levelled self-care
35:00 if we all made this our priority
37:30 developing a success mindset in our culture
40:30 incremental improvements that feel doable
I really hope this conversation helps you in some way and that you feel there is someone you know will help too. Please do share this them.

When you lead from your character, you realise that leadership looks and feels different based on who you are. Leading from the shadows is incredibly undervalued. If this is your way of leading, let me encourage you to keep leading from the shadows and to keep being the greenhouse, creating environment within which people thrive.
I am a flawed human being. But you already knew that. But there is freedom in being flawed. Here's why.
On episode 138 I am excited to be joined by Commando Dad, Neil Sinclair. We were fortunate enough to have Neil join us back on episode 2. Neil is the author of the Commando Dad series of book which have the Royal seal of approval from the Prince’s and also sir Andy Murray.
Since being on episode 2, Neil has published a Commando Dad Cookbook and most recently, forest school adventures.
We have a great conversation about parenting and why pursuing perfection in parenting will only bring us stress. I hope this episode will inspire parents to not just survive the summer holidays, but to thrive.
In the episode you will hear:
06:45 Commando Dad and the Royal seal of approval
11:00 improvise, adapt and overcome
13:00 striving for perfection in parenting causes stress
16:00 provide for what?
20:30 get in to nature
23:20 the importance of backup support
27:20 Forest School Adventures - get outdoors with your kids
35:30 getting our little troopers off of tech and outdoors
41:00 using what nature gives us
44:30 bangers and mash every time
50:00 be kind to yourself and go and do good things
I really hope this conversation helps you in someway or that you feel there is someone you know who it'll help. Please do share this them.
Always love
Ryan

Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars - Serbian Proverb
Believe in your future. Understand there is purpose in your pain. Your pain is not permanent.
Be who you are not who you think you should be.
Have you words and actions be an external representation of what you internally think and believe.
On episode 137 this week I am joined Brian Formato, CEO of Leadersurf, a leadership development company that helps leaders be more self-aware and service orientate through the power of surfing retreats.
Brian was previously a guest on episode 27 several years ago and it is great to have him back. I love that I get to share his incredible organisation with our ever-expanding ABTY community.
In the episode you will hear:
06:10 Corporate leadership programmes not delivering sustainable impact
09:30 the ocean as teacher
10:00 leave your ego at the beach otherwise the ocean will pound it out of you - Erik Logan CEO world surf league
11:00 focusing right in front of you and scanning the horizon for what’s coming

15:00 balanced leaders are self-aware of their superpowers and their kryptonite

38:15 in order to cross an ocean you have to have the confidence to lose sight of the shore

Please do share this with someone whose heart and mind you wish to inspire too.

Just start sharing your heart and mind with what you have, where you’re at on a platform you enjoy using.
In his book Leadership is Language, L.David Marquet articulates two systems, red and blue. Both require different leadership languages. If you only have the language for one of the systems then we run the risk of being effective only 50 per cent of the time. I hope this episode helps you advance your blue leadership language.

Here are two keys that I think have been crucial in growing our community. What would you add to the conversation?
100 cold showers in 2021
In the last few months I’ve shared why and the benefits I’ve experienced.
Here are two more reflections.
The first one sucks. They suck less the more consistently you do them and the benefits far outweigh the suck.
The longer you leave it until your next one, the more it’ll suck.
Length doesn’t matter. Anything within 30 seconds to 2 minutes is good. Anything longer than three doesn’t provide any further benefit (in my experience).
Start now. Build the habit now while it’s warmer. That way I hope you’ll keep going throughout the winter.
I’m already looking forward to the winter river dips
Do it for your health my friends.

It's not about the what next. It's about enjoying the process of becoming someone who thought it was even possible.
On episode 135 this week I am joined by Dr. Deborah Rozman, CEO of HeartMath Inc. Deborah is founding executive director of HeartMath Institute and a key spokesperson for HeartMath and the HeartMath System around the world. Along with helping develop, oversee and conduct HeartMath training programs since its inception in 1991, she has 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur, business executive, educator and author.
Over the last year, I have had several mentors who continue to point their insights back to the research of the HeartMath Institute. The likes of Jon Gordon (Episodes 77 and 113), Dr. John Amaral (Episode 133) and Dr. Joe Dispenza in his book Becoming Supernatural.
Having spent time learning about the HeartMath solution, exploring my own Heart Intelligence and using the InnerBalance technology to bring about my own Heart and Brain coherence, it was an honour to share space with Dr. Deborah and bring this amazing work to your attention.
The mission of the HeartMath Institute is to help people bring their physical, mental and emotional systems into balanced alignment with their heart’s intuitive guidance. This unfolds the path for becoming heart-empowered individuals who choose the way of love, which they demonstrate through compassionate care for the well-being of themselves, others and Planet Earth.
In the episode you will hear:
00:30 a Behavioural Psychologist following her heart
02:00 the heart being the centre of intelligence
03:00 the heart is limitless
03:40 HeartMath research findings
04:50 we don’t say I love you with all my brain
07:30 coherence connects us with our heart’s natural intelligence
09:00 HeartMath and Dr. Joe Dispenza
10:00 Heart coherence is a global activator for higher potential - health, learning and performance
11:45 Heart synchronisation with our pets
13:30 an uplift in people pursuing heart, meaning and connection with spirit in 2020
16:00 got to your heart for answers
16:50 responding to suggestions HeartMath is a pseudoscience
19:00 Heart Rate Variability, Inner Quality Management and creating a heart-based culture
23:30 using HeartMath to lead ourselves
26:00 a planetary pause and an opportunity to create a new normal
28:00 creating a workplace that is conducive to coherence
30:00 the Global Coherence Initiative and the belief we are all connected
34:00 shift to your heart and have compassion for yourself and others
I know this interview has the power to exponentially expand your heart and mind, just like it has done for mine. You may need to listen to it a few times and even follow up with some additional research (YouTube has plenty of great videos from HeartMath). Let this be the start of a life long pursuit of connecting with your heart and the hearts of those around you.
I know this will inspire you.
Please do share this with someone whose heart and mind you wish to inspire too.
Always love
Ryan

Here's a story from RAF Cranwell when I went from feeling completely insignificant to realising that leadership is and only ever will be about people.
Inspired by James Nestor's Best Selling Book Breath, I have been inspired to tape my mouth shut while I sleep. Take a listen to find out why.
I believe that vulnerability is an attribute of the heart and that strategy is an attribute of the mind. Let's not confuse the two. Let's make sure they are on the same team and let's make sure we are not manipulating people with vulnerability.
Take some time to reflect, give yourself what you need, look to the future and let's step together.

This week I am joined by Nick Bailey, Husband, Father and former Detective Sergeant. After serving 18 years as a Police Officer, Nick is now a speaker, talking with organisations about mental health and resilience.
On Sunday 4th March 2018, an assassination attempt was made on former Russian KGB officer Sergei Skripal. Nick attended the Skripal home address and unknowingly became contaminated by the nerve agent Novichok. Nick battled through intensive care but the fight wasn’t over. After leaving hospital he and his family were told not only would they not be able to return home, but their possessions would also need to be destroyed.
This is an incredible story of a family showing resilience and pulling each other through.
In the episode you will hear:
03:30 getting caught up in an assassination attempt
06:00 the events of Sunday 4th March 2018
12:30 a tsunami of fire

38:50 dragging ourselves through adversity
43:00 we make time to talk
47:44 it’s counter productive to give yourself a hard time
I know this will inspire you.
Please do share this with someone whose heart and mind you wish to inspire too.
Always love
Ryan

Vulnerability has become a popular term, probably to do with the no weakness allowed performance cultures that have been created. Let's simply commit to being more human.
The world doesn't need to know how great you are. They world needs someone who can shine a light on the greatness within others.
This week I am excited to have Bob Burg back on the podcast. Bob was originally a guest on episode 71 and is the co-author of the Go Giver series of books.
Bob shares how a subtle shift in focus is not only a more uplifting and fulfilling way of conducting business but the most financially profitable way, as well. For 30 years he’s helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals.
The Go-Giver, a Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, has sold over a million copies. Since its release it has consistently stayed in the Top 25 on Porchlight’s (formerly 800-CEO-READ) Business Book Bestsellers List. The book has been translated into 30 languages. It was rated #10 on Inc. Magazine’s list of the Most Motivational Books Ever Written, and was on HubSpot’s 20 Most Highly Rated Sales Books of All Time.

20:30 true social media influencers

24:30 Question Two from Callum - why Bob pursued speaking and writing
27:00 Question Three from Bethan - consciousness of influence
31:30 Question Four from Cheryl - how to say no with kindness and respect
The Go Giver has had such a positive impact on the way that I lead. I hope that this sparks something similar in you as you continue to grow in your leadership and influence every day.
Please do share this with someone whose leadership you wish to validate or inspire.
Always love
Ryan

If we change ourselves based on where we are or who we are with and do not have a firm foundation of who we are, as leaders we can lose ourselves.
Lead from who you are and adapt yourself to be more effective where you are and who you are with.
This week on Ep 125 I am joined by Damon West. At 20 years old, Damon was a starting quarterback at the University of North Texas, when he suffered a career ending injury. He turned to hardcore drugs to cope with disappointments of life. After graduation, he worked in the United States Congress, was a national fundraiser on a U.S. Presidential campaign and eventually trained to be a stockbroker for United Bank of Switzerland (UBS). One day at UBS, he was introduced to methamphetamines; he became instantly hooked and the lives of so many innocent people would forever be changed by the choices he made to feed his insatiable meth habit. Damon, “The Uptown Burglar” was sentenced to 65 years in prison.
After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today.
Today, Damon lives a life of recovery and service, going to meetings and sharing his story all over the country with schools, church's, athletic teams, corporations, conferences and inside correctional facilities. Over the past few years, he has been sharing the Coffee Bean lesson with dozens of college football teams such as Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas, and countless schools and businesses. His #BeACoffeeBean message has inspired thousands from Walmart to the US Army to the NBA.
Damon’s story has been featured both nationally and globally. His second book, The Coffee Bean, co-authored with best-selling author Jon Gordon, became an instant best-seller and a part of Forbes’ “Top Twenty Books You Need to Read to Crush 2020.”
In this incredible episode you will hear:
05:30 Damon’s story is one of the most transformational stories Jon Gordon has ever heard
06:15 Damon’s incredible story
09:25 “we got the Uptown burglar”
09:50 Ten minutes to find Damon guilty and sentenced to 65 years in prison on May 18th 2009
11:15 Mother’s tough love before going in to jail
12:20 Mr. Jackson’s life changing advice
13:25 Fear and Faith both believe in a future
14:10 you don’t have to win all your fights but you do have to fight all your fights
14:40 a carrot, an egg and a coffee bean
16:45 changing prison from the inside out
20:15 a powerful prayer and the serenity prayer
26:00 the fork in the road days
28:30 becoming a coffee bean maximum security prison - the 5 rules to being a coffee bean
34:20 the hardest place to do time is in your mind
36:50 the longer you’re in the hot water the stronger the coffee
38:00 you get to choose
I really hope that hearing Damon’s story and simple life lessons inspires you to create your own transformation and that you become your own Coffee Bean.
Please do share this episode with someone you know will love to hear the message too.
Always love
Ryan

This powerful paragraph from Jon Gordon's book The Carpenter reveals all you need to know about what it means to be Always Better than Yesterday.
Hope you enjoy the words.
Always love
Ryan
Thank you again for letting me test new ideas that are on my heart and mind.
Once we push our comfort zone, we will need to overcome the four horsemen.
Here's my take on Pestilence, War, Famine and Death.
Love to know what it speaks to you.
Always love
Ryan
This is a new concept I am exploring and I appreciate the opportunity to learn and grow with you. I hope it speaks something to you.
For me, if new levels bring new devils, we must pursue love. Love God, Love who we are, love what we do and love those we serve. Listen to find out why.
Always love
Ryan

In 2020 I shared an episode on how to lead with love. You can watch that full video here: https://youtu.be/6cQVo3YnxJ0
The 5 ABTY hallmarks of leading with love are:
-
create safety
-
willing to sacrifice
-
servant heart
-
love tough
-
leave a legacy
This year, I return with an advancement on How to Lead with Love and turn the focus towards leading teams. This episode will help you create a team that leads and succeeds together. It will help you lead a loving team that leads a legacy.
Caveat – this is hard! You have to lead yourself first before you show up and lead your team. Again, there’s a podcast episode on how to lead yourself which you can listen to here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/how-to-lead-yourself-love-empathy-accountability-development/id1424969217?i=1000469985674
The principles outlined in this podcast are:
-
LOVE: UNCONDITIONALLY
-
LOVE: BELIEVES
-
LOVE: SERVES AND SACRIFICES
-
LOVE UNITES
-
LOVE: LOVES TOUGH
-
LOVE: OVERCOMES
-
LOVE: DOES HEARTWORK
-
LOVE: LEAVES A LEGACY
This podcast contains a WHY for each of these principles and most importantly, HOW you can develop and implement this style of loving leadership.
I hope this talk inspires something in your leadership.
If you would like my help and support on a 1:1 basis or maybe come in and speak with your team, your organisation, or even deliver training, simply email me at ryanbhartley@gmail.com to start the conversation today.
Head to our facebook community www.facebook.com/groups/weareABTY and be sure to subscribe to our channel for further content that exists purely to help you be better everyday for those who need you at your best.
Keep leading with love and you will leave a legacy.
Always love

Here's my reflections on early mornings or late evenings and which one is better for my heartwork and leadership.
If we show up in the world with a lack of love, we will find it in all the wrong places.
This week I am joined by David Florence, wellness consultant, breath work coach and host of “The Evolution of Dave” YouTube channel. On a night out with his work colleagues, David got a bang to his head that left him out of it for six hours but this served as a catalyst for change as he began to search for better mental and physical health.
David began documenting his journey on his YouTube channel as he experimented with many tools and techniques to improve his health and as the channel nicely describes, as he evolves, his community evolves too. His channel has amassed almost 1 million views.
In this episode you will hear:
03:15 evolutionary guinea pig with NAD boosters
05:45 a bang to that head that led to wanting to be a better version of Dave
06:45 cold water therapy and breathing to wake up dormant parts of my brain
09:45 vodka Dave found at the side of the road
14:10 The Evolution of Dave - as Dave evolves, so will you
18:45 giving the tree a good feel
21:15 developing heart coherence
22:30 slowing down our pre-frontal cortex
26:35 breathe before you speak - Dave’s top tip for stressed and anxious leaders
30:15 binaural beats and helping your brainwaves be more positive
34:15 encouraging more flow state experiences
38:45 in-flight checks
41:35 excited by life-enhancing activities
42:30 hacking the mind to enjoy a cold shower
44:55 the more you experience the present moment, the more life is going to flow
I hope this conversation inspires you to be better in your heart and mind in someway and would be grateful for you sharing it with simply one person who you’d like to help be better too.
Always love
Ryan

What impact odes you leadership have?
Do you make things work or do you make things worse?
Do people get bitter or do they get better?
MatthewMcConaughey #Podcast #Interview
On episode 116 I am joined by Academy Award-winning actor and best-selling author Matthew McConaughey.
Matthew’s book Greenlights is up there with one of my favourites of all time and it was an honour to spend time with him discussing stories and experiences from his life.
Matthew is married and a father of three. He co-founded with his wife the just keep livin’ foundation in 2009 which helps at-risk high school children be better in their mind, body and spirit. In 2019 Matthew became a professor of practice at the University of Texas, as well as the Minister of Culture for the University and the city of Austin. McConaughey is also a brand ambassador for Lincoln Motor Company, an owner of MLS soccer team Austin FC and the co-creator of his favourite bourbon on the planet, Wild Turkey Longbranch.
There is such wisdom in the book Greenlights and is testament to the depth Matthew went to connect to his life experiences. A life that has evidently been well lived thus far! Be sure to get your copy of Greenlights, physical and audio – both are equally special in their own way.
In this episode you will hear:
04:15 Matthew David McConaughey introduces himself in a way only he can
06:20 Matthew’s Love Letter to Life - Greenlights

Thank you to Pastor Tommy and Jonathan Darling for having me as part of the Warrior ONE:3 men's group and helping me grow in God's Word.
You and your people are an extension of your team and organisation. Therefore your views and their views are not their own... that disclaimer doesn't work!
I hope this advice from Jay Leno to Matthew McConaughey helps you in your heart and in your mind.
Nervous? Just want to be here.
Don't love yourself so much you become an island. Love yourself so that you can lead from love and not for love. So that you can be better for you and those who need you.
On episode 115 I am joined by radio presenter, voice over artist and Hackney Hand Model, Samantha Clinch. Samantha has also come to the realisation that she is a Mindset and Winning Expert, because she wins everything! In this conversation you will hear: 03:15 I’m just that person that wins everything! 05:00 getting in to radio 07:00 if we become so authentic, we start to come through and people relate to that 09:00 brought to life under pressure 11:00 why we should embrace curiosity if we want to ask better questions 13:00 I say I am, therefore I am... a hand model 17:00 when you’re down, you just have to shout LEARNING or GRATEFUL! 18:30 surround yourself with frequency raisers 23:30 I don’t queue so find a fun route! 26:30 if you don’t know who you are, the world will tell you who you are 28:15 kindness coming from a place of stillness 29:50 when ABTY can be a trigger 31:30 Twitter is too negative 33:30 Heart, mind and hands
I hope this conversation lightens your spirit and inspires you to do something positive. If it does, be sure to share that with one you love. Always love Ryan

I found this really hard. But when I started, I began to experience so much awe and wonder.
Be careful not to fall into this trap. This story comes from Matthew Syed's Black Box Thinking.
Today we are having a day off of the interview sessions. Here's some interesting numbers to reflect on! We can't wait to share some amazing conversations over the next 12 months!
It is a story of strategy and intelligence. Turning weakness into strengths and taking your opportunity.
This week I am joined by Clyde Brolin, Formula One journalist and author of Overdrive and In The Zone. Clyde has spent the last decade asking thousands of elite performers about their experiences of being “in the zone”, a heaven on earth state that he first discovered through listening to Ayrton Senna describe his infamous qualifying lap around Monaco in 1988. In this episode you will hear: 04:25 Ayrton Senna Monaco Qualifying 1988 06:40 In the Zone moments 07:55 Heaven on Earth 10:25 Lewis Hamilton is a fascinating case study 13:10 Michael Schumacher at his highest level of focus 15:10 you have to love it if you want to get to the high level otherwise you wouldn’t have the commitment required 18:25 Travis Pastrana’s pursuit of the oh shit I’m going to die moments! 21:40 if you’re going to be in an accident - stand up! 23:40 Romain Grosjean looked death in the face 26:00 the pursuit of the zone 29:25 what’s it’s like when the interviewer gets in the zone 30:40 we are dream machines 31:50 conceive, believe, achieve 34:10 Michael Phelps the master of visualisation 35:30 Felix Baumgartner couldn’t practice his free fall so he had to visualise every aspect of the sky dive 37:10 being the first to do something is really hard! 39:20 teams in the zone and why we should all do the Haka before work 42:45 takeaways from Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi the Godfather of Flow
I hope this conversation inspires you to show up, do more of what you love and seek to consistently get better every single day. Always love Ryan

Don't be fooled. Leading with love is not weak. It is tough, it is messy and it strong.
It is so good to have Gemma Hunt back on the podcast. Gemma was originally on Ep 8 when we discussed her career as a children's TV presenter here in the UK with the CBBC.
Gemma has been working in TV since 2003 when she graduated with her First Class Media Performance Degree from The University of Bedfordshire. Having met an agent through a careers day at the University, Gemma's showreel was sent to CBBC who met her for an interview, invited her for a screen test and then offered her a contract with CBBC, all before she had graduated.
Gemma started working exclusively for CBBC in July 2003 before going freelance in 2007. 2013 saw Gemma join the CBeebies family on BAFTA award winning pirate gameshow 'Swashbuckle'.
Gemma also presents 'Together' - a BBC Learning School Radio show downloadable for school assemblies.
You can see Gemma presenting live at Festivals around the UK, including Big Church Day Out and co-presenting the new Alpha Film Series for alpha.org.
Gemma also runs workshops in presenting skills and enjoys working with children, leading storytelling sessions and birthday parties.
In this episode we discuss:
03:50 an interesting couple of years
05:00 shattering the illusion of the public pedestal
07:30 we all need hope and hope has a name
10:15 this season will pass
11:15 Online Alpha - enabling more people to journey together and ask questions about faith, life and meaning
13:30 counsel of Saints
15:00 plans to give you hope and a future
16:45 a daily choice to surrender
19:00 using our gifts to be salt and light in the dark place
27:00 don’t let people look down on you because you are young
30:45 off to the mountains
32:00 holding 2021 lightly
I hope this conversation inspires your journey in someway. Make sure this is a two way conversation and be sure to email me or DM me your questions.
Always love
Ryan

We love inspiring you to grow in your heart and mind and love to share a good life lesson from Disney.
If you want more inspiring content, see our channel, be sure to subscribe and enjoy hours worth of help.
In this episode I share with you 9 life lessons from Disney PIXAR's SOUL.
The story follows Joe, a middle-school band teacher whose life hasn't quite gone the way he expected. His true passion is jazz -- and he's good. But when he travels to another realm to help someone find their passion, he soon discovers what it means to have soul.
9 Life Lessons
1.In the zone
-
The importance of self discovery
-
Can't crush a soul
-
You never asked
-
HALT
-
Lost Souls
-
Just regular livin'
-
I have no purpose
-
Given a second chance
I think the film is trying to say to us to come live. To seek joy in the everyday. To enjoy the highs and lows of life. To be grateful for the sparks in our life but to not be defined or dictated by them. To take pressure off finding our PURPOSE. And instead to live, discover and appreciate life and all its beauty – that’s what gives it meaning. Not the highlight reel.
How will you live?

I really discourage the use of the word but. However, here are two occasions when you using the word BUT might help.
This week I am joined by Lisa David Olson, speaker, creative coach and author. Lisa has a 20 year background in comedy and her serious-toned message reveals the power of humour to heal and connect. A writer and performer of sketch comedy, parody songs, and improvisation for decades, Lisa’s energetic style and determination always leaves joy in her wake.
03:50 humour being the beautiful escape from trauma
04:30 the thrill and ripple effect of improvisation
06:45 there is a time and a place for comedy, although we’ve all got the giggles in an inappropriate moment
09:00 pretending to be someone else
11:00 the best kind of humour is the one that connects
12:20 seeking comedy is boundless
15:45 people just want to be heard
18:00 are you gonna sit in the mud until it hardens on you?
19:40 serious selfies with strangers - my project in bravery
23:00 the foundation is listening - hear and know your people
29:00 counter-clockwise community
30:30 the impact reminder
32:30 looking out the windshield not the rear view mirror
34:00 stay weird
I hope this conversation makes you smile and encourages more humour in your life and leadership.
Always love
Ryan

Focus on giving and helping not getting and having. We already have more than enough. Time to focus on those who need it more.
Jocko Willink says Discipline Equals Freedom. I love that message and it's really helped me.
However, discipline is a matter of the mind.
I believe devotion is the matter of the heart.
My view is therefore is that DEVOTION EQUALS FULFILMENT.
This episode was recorded while live on Instagram (@ryanbhartley)
Don't misunderstand this. The more we show up for ourselves, the better we can show up for others.
This week I am so excited to bring to you an amazing conversation with Dr. Vanessa Lapointe, Registered Psychologist, author, parenting educator, and mother of two.
Dr Vanessa has developed a keen understanding of the powerful connection between healthy child development and the parent-child or “big-person”- child relationship. Through this lens it is her experience that we can understand everything about the growing child from behavior to anxiety to brain development. And all the in-between stuff too. It is Dr Vanessa's singular goal that parents, teachers, caregivers, and all the other big people are able to connect with their own expertise and intuition in finding a way through.
In this episode you'll hear:
04:00 and then I became a mother!
05:00 showing up as the big people who help our little people become all they are intended to be while we become all we are intended to be
05:45 parenting is leadership in the home - safety and connection
08:30 unconditional love - kids need to know they are loved no matter how they show up
11:30 parenting pop culture enthused with generational biases - it’s behaviourist in mentality and yet goes against everything we know about the importance of connection and compassion based child development
14:20 it takes a village - advice to men who have never had the male role model
18:10 if you had just one person show up, you’ve got the neurological template
18:45 connecting without ourselves before connecting with the our children
22:00 how old are you when you’re feeling? - all over reaction is an age regression
25:00 discipline without damage
27:30 parenting like Crush
29:00 don’t retire too soon - be incredibly available
32:00 we are never one step behind or in front, we are exactly where we are meant to be, always stepping forward - the heart beats on leading us to better tomorrow’s
33:10 you really do have this in you
Please do share this with a parent or caregiver you'd love to inspire. We hope it helps in your leadership in the home in some small way.
Always love
Ryan

We don't do New Year, New Me here at ABTY.
Instead, make a commitment to being an even better you. Make a commitment to leading yourself. Because when you get better, everything around you gets better.
Is how you show up. Don't put anyone on a pedestal. What matters most is how you show up.
This week I am joined by Eddie Ilic, founder of Eddie's Street Cut, a community based project that cuts hair for the homeless in Bath and Bristol in the UK. This is an inspiring episode with a strong message of HOPE. Eddie himself has recovered from drug and alcohol addiction and in his recovery, has started giving back, using his skillset as a barber.
In this episode we discuss:
- Addiction
- 12 Step Recovery Programme
- The importance of community, human contact and connection
- Service and giving back
- The impact of a haircut
- Eddie's message of HOPE
We hope this inspires you in your heart and your mind. We also hope it inspires you to look after yourself, to seek help if you need it, to reach out and help others if you can.
Please do share this with one person you think needs to hear Eddie's message.
Always love
Ryan

If you've ever listened to me speak about how we create a world that is always better than yesterday, you'll know that the master key to making that happen is leadership. Because when leaders get better, we get better, our families get better, our communities get better and you see where I am going with this...
Well, the best way to help a leader get better is firstly help them become more self aware.
This is why I have spent the whole week on Zoom being trained as a Communications Coach that is certified to use the Life Languages™ tool. Although tired, I am so excited to be able to start using the Kendall Life Languages Profile™ (KLLP) to be able to help leaders (you) learn more about themselves and others.
When we learn more about ourselves and others, we become more intentional with our words and our actions and as a result, make more of an impact and become more influential.
If you're curious and want to learn a bit more, you can use this link to take a free mini profile.
If you resonate with what you see and what to explore it in more detail and see how it can transform your relationship with yourself and those important people around you, we can talk!
Love you guys, hope it helps and share your primary language in the WE ARE ABTY community!

You know you're leading from love and not for love when you're able to lead people based on their needs and not your own.
Ever wondered what happens after you die? Well, hold on tight.
This week I am joined by David Ditchfield, author of Shine On. In the book, David documents the events of being dragged under a speeding train and his journey to the afterlife. Not only has David been able to recall the vivid experience, he has been able to express this through paintings and writing a symphony - and he didn't have the skillset to do either before his accident!
In this episode you will hear:
04:00 the story start with David living in London, leaving school without any qualifications
07:00 the ordeal of being dragged under a speeding train
11:50 the passengers on the train carriage come together in prayer for David
13:30 connecting with faith
15:00 the moment David thought he had died and journeyed to the after-life
18:00 love and healing
19:00 the vivid description of what it’s like being in the middle of the universe
20:45 seeing an intense tunnel of love and white light which David knew straight away was the source of the universe. It was God.
22:25 Death is not to be feared - being healed and prepared for the next stage of the afterlife
24:30 Being sent back for a reason - determined to paint what he had seen
29:00 “David, Christ was with you”
32:00 the punk rocker thrashing his way through life to writing a symphony for an orchestra
39:00 Question from Sarah
42:00 create heaven on earth by pursuing love and be in the moment
Please do go to David's website to find out more about his incredible story.
The music in the intro to this podcast is one of 3 pieces of music he wrote. This and the other two pieces are also available to listen to on his website.
I hope this conversation inspires you, sparks your curiosity, gives you peace and encourage to live from a place of love.
Always love

You know the one with the mad button pushing to help you run faster. Well, people and situations are always pushing our buttons. We have to imagine walking around with a track and field power bar above our heads and do what we can to keep it as empty as possible!
In 2017 I read a book which really inspired me as I was leading on a project to transform the culture of an emergency contact centre. That book was written by today's guest, retired Captain L. David Marquet. It was called Turn the Ship Around! a true story of turning followers into leaders. Simon Sinek described David as the kind of leader who only comes around once in a generation.
Student of leadership and organisational design, former nuclear submarine Commander, and named one of the Top 100 Leadership Speakers by Inc. Magazine. David is the Author of the Amazon #1 Best Seller: Turn the Ship Around!, and The Turn the Ship Around Workbook. David’s recently released book, Leadership is Language, is a Wall Street Journal Bestseller.
David imagines a workplace where everyone engages and contributes their full intellectual capacity, a place where people are healthier and happier because they have more control over their work–a place where everyone is a leader.
In this episode you will hear:
05:00 a confession - I like being in control but here’s how to practice relinquishing control
08:30 it’s difficult to organise humans without hierarchy - the problem is HOW we use hierarchy
10:25 Turning the Santa Fe Around! an incredible story of turning followers into leaders
16:00 the legacy of creating leaders not followers
18:45 what would it sound like if… we lived the 7 habits of highly effective people by Stephen R. Covey
20:00 Leadership is Language - how words have tremendous influence over our thinking and interactions with people
22:00 highly effective teams do not follow the industrial model of leader and doers - the language of doing is different from thinking
23:40 the language of vulnerability and curiosity
25:50 when someone gives you feedback and you want to punch them in the face! The moment you’re triggered is the most important time to be curious.
27:15 the El Faro and the out dated playbook
32:00 prove vs. improve - why expecting people to prove themselves before we trust them is backwards
35:25 the one and only step to create engagement - give your people the authority to make decisions
36:50 creating a learning and competence factory
38:30 why leaders should start their questions with HOW
41:00 the “be good” self and the “get better” self
43:00 Leadership Nudges
Be sure to read the books, check out the Leadership Nudges and keep advancing in your leadership journey.
Please do let us know what resonates with you, either sharing on social media or emailing me at ryanbhartley@gmail.com
Until next time, Always Love

As a leader, your role is to serve your people. To be able to do that the best you can, you need to get to the GEMBA - the actual place where the work is happening, where your people are operating, where the processes and problems are taking place. A better understanding will help you make better decisions and take better actions to help your people be more effective at serving your customers and community.
Always love

We have the awesome Craig McHugh join us for this week's episode of The Darling Hartley podcast. We talk about a few different things but an area that Craig covers is the thought that we are predisposed to focus on negativity. And as he says, negativity is just a survival mechanism to us. We will focus more on the bad rather than the good as the bad can harm us. For more information, visit: www.ryanhartley.co.uk www.impactleadership.com www.livingyourlearning.com
Here we go, episode 100. No fanfare because we are on a mission that never ends - but we do tip our hat in acknowledgement to a milestone enabled through devotion and consistency.
In this episode I am joined by Dawn Marie Bornheimer, a heart centred leader who is making a positive impact everywhere she goes.
In this episode you will hear:
02:45 the outspoken big hearted middle child
03:45 amplifying the empath
06:45 not letting young people lower the bar
0:40 love or fear
10:15 building self belief
12:50 not elevating ourselves but lifting other - leading from any seat
14:30 IMPACT
18:00 everything I needed to know I learned in kindergarten

20:30 leading myself
22:15 FOR PURPOSE
27:00 Look around and make the best next decision
28:45 don’t judge yourself with the information you have today for the things you did in the past

LEAD WITH LOVE: Father & Son Special
This week is Corey's 8th birthday!! I cannot believe I have an 8 year old son and so, to celebrate, I decided to bring him onto the podcast and create a special 4-part father and son series!
All 4 episodes will be released this week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday) so make sure you're following me on social media to see when they are released!
Aim of this series
It was really special for me getting to spend this time with Corey and talk all about life. In this 4-part series, we are just chatting in the hope to help people from 8 to adult work on their mindset and lead with love. Within this comes discussion on doing what you love, being someone you love and helping others along the way.
It has been so nice speaking to Corey about such a mixture of things and just seeing his outlook on the world, it really makes me feel so proud!
We cover quite a few different topics throughout the series, two of the main points that I have taken away from this experience are:
Importance of Words
We talk quite a bit about the importance of words. The words that we speak to each other but also the words that we speak to ourselves, aloud or in our heads. The importance that they have on our actions, behaviours and attitude in everything that we do.
When we spoke about doing your best, Corey says “I think doing your best or being at your personal best, although there is no personal best there, you can always be better”. And I love that he said personal best.
We can always do our best, for now, knowing that our best for now is not the best we could ever do. Sometimes we have bad days, bad mornings and so we might not be at our absolute best. But, we can always do our personal best in every moment.
Perfection Doesn't Exist
The strive for perfection in this day and age can get a little foggy. What is perfect? Does perfect even exist? Your perfect and my perfect could be completely different things so I like to say “practice makes progress” because at the end of the day, progress should be the goal.
No matter what it refers to, maybe its work, attitude, or in Corey's case, video games, practice makes progress. No-one is good at something straight away. You see other people, friends, family doing amazing things but you often don't see what has gone on behind the scenes, the path that has got them there. The practice.
On top of this, it has been eye-opening for me to see and listen to Corey and see what things I do that he might take away from me. Things that I can do better (explain games in more detail and calm down mainly).
It has been so much fun having Corey on the podcast with me, let me know if you watch the episodes and what you think!
Rock stars connect with their pain and in their expression of their emotion, we see ourselves and our own experiences.
This live podcast recording was with Paul McGee, motivational speaker and best selling author also known as the SUMO guy.
Paul joined us 18 months ago on ep 32 and am honoured to have had him return to talk about the release of his new book for teenagers (and others as you'll hear).
You will hear about the SUMO secrets and the legacy Paul hopes this book will leave.
Please please please do share this with someone who needs to hear Paul's message.
Much love
Ryan

Ep 96 is with Dr. Garland Vance. Garland has been helping people and teams get clarity about their life and leadership for over twenty years. He is an author, speaker, and consultant. Along with his wife, Dorothy, he cofounded AdVance Leadership to help high capacity leaders and organisations live and lead with Purpose, Productivity, and Peace. He has helped his clients (which span from Fortune 500 Companies to nonprofits) stress less, accomplish more, and fulfil their highest priorities.
He is the author of Gettin' (un)Busy, which Forbes named as "one of the seven books everyone on your team should read."
As a former Leadership Development Pastor and Director of one of Chick-fil-A's nonprofits, Garland has poured into influencers at all levels. He’s helped thousands of people discover and live out their life purpose, enhance their clarity and productivity, and impact the world around them.
Garland earned a Doctorate in Leadership and Spiritual Formation from Denver Seminary. There, he researched the effects of busyness on leaders and how to overcome both individual and organisational overcommitment.
As much as he loves to work, it's not his highest priority. Garland enjoys reading, watching movies, drinking coffee, trying new food, engaging in deep conversations, running, and East Tennessee hiking. But most of all, he loves spending time with his wife, Dorothy, and their three children.
We hope this conversation serves you well and would love for you to share it with someone you'd like to help get UN-busy.
Much love
Ryan

HERE"S WHY I THINK WE CRAVE AUTHENTIC PEOPLE AND LEADERS AND HOW YOU CAN BE MORE AUTHENTIC.
In this episode I am joined by MITOS founder Naomi Trentham.
Einstein is believed to have said, “Great spirits have always encountered opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express their opinions courageously and honestly.”
MITOS was founded to help individuals and organisations thrive, by finding their voices, their purpose and - by understanding emotion and utilising personal and collective wellbeing - to change the impact of such opposition.
In this episode you will hear:
- learning to empty myself
- Moving in the Opposite Spirit
- Faith and science

- stepping out
- is it possible to predispose a generation to succeed?
I hope that this conversation help you in your heart and your mind in some way. Please do share this with one person who you think needs to hear what Naomi has to say.

If this Russian psychologist is right, here's the three things we need to do:
-
Unlearn the bad stuff
-
Get clear on who we are at our best and who we were made to be
-
Surround ourselves with people who reflect who we are, who we want to be and who bring out the best in you

HELPING BREEDS HELPING. KINDNESS BREEDS KINDNESS. LEADING WITH LOVE BREEDS LEADERS WHO LEAD WITH LOVE.
THE FINAL BOOK THIS WEEK IS LIFE IS GOOD BY BERT AND JOHN JACOBS. LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU TO BRING HUMOUR INTO YOUR LEADERSHIP.
TODAY'S INSIGHT IS ON MORALE FROM THE BRITISH ARMY'S MANUAL OF LEADERSHIP - SERVE TO LEAD.
This week I am joined by motivational speaker Austin Hatch, survivor of two plane crashes.
On Labor Day of 2003, Hatch and his family were flying home from their vacation home in northern Michigan. As they were preparing to land, the aircraft crashed and burst into flames. Hatch’s dad threw him out of the plane, saving his life and went back into the flames to get his mother, sister and brother, but tragically, was unable to. His mother, sister and brother did not survive.
Hatch and his father grieved their loss but became each other’s lifeline through the grief, pushing each other to overcome the loss, as he knew his mom, sister and brother would’ve wanted. A year later, Hatch’s dad met a lovely woman named Kimberley, who had three kids of her own. The couple was married about a year after meeting and together, they had a wonderful blended family. Meanwhile, Hatch worked hard on athletic skills and began to have success on the basketball court. Hatch’s dream was to play for Michigan. Then on June 15, 2011, Coach Beilein offered him a full scholarship to play basketball at The University of Michigan, which he accepted.
Nine days later, on June 24th, 2011, Hatch's father and “second mother” were flying to their vacation home to have a weekend of celebration. As they were preparing to land, the aircraft crashed and Hatch’s father and second mom were killed on impact. Hatch suffered severe injuries and nearly lost his life. After being in a coma for two months, he had to relearn how to walk, talk, eat and basically how to live his life, once he woke up. With the help of many, many people and against the odds, Hatch persevered and was able to make a solid comeback to take the place at university that was held open for him.
Seven years later, Hatch became a graduate of The University of Michigan and is working at Dominos’ corporate offices. Hatch is married to an absolutely, incredible woman named Abigail who pushes him forward, making him better every single day. He considers himself to be blessed – with an incredible family and with his wife, looking forward to building one of their own in a few years. The couple lives in Ann Arbor, Michigan where Abigail works for the Michigan Athletic Department.
Hatch believes that in part, the reason he survived two plane crashes, endured tragic losses and made it through an amazing road to recovery, was to help others. He has been sharing his story of encouragement to help inspire others to work harder and get better in the years since.
In this episode you will hear:
-
1 in 11,560,000,000,000
-
blessed is he who perseveres under trial
-
Overcome It
-
"I can't wait to coach you" - Coach Beilein showing his leadership integrity
-
GRIT
-
An example is always better than an opinion
I hope this episode positively impacts you in some way and inspires you to show up and keep moving forward. Please do share it with someone you care about.
come and join a webinar with Austin on Wednesday 9th September where he will be sharing his story, his principles to help you overcome adversity and answering your questions.

A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ENCOURAGING YOU TO FOCUS ON WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL AND DELETE (FROM YOUR FOCUS) WHAT YOU CAN'T.
Today's guest is Nicole Gibson, founder of the Love Out Loud movement and author of the Love Out Loud book.
Nicole has an incredible story which you can connect with at https://www.nicolegibson.com.au/about but in short, she has overcome her mental health challenges and eating disorder, to lead one super powerful movement, transforming people and communities through love. Nicole toured Australia for nearly two years, touching the lives of over 75,000 people with her non profit, Rogue and Rouge, providing mental and emotional health education. She was appointed the youngest ever appointed by the commonwealth, becoming influential on a national scale in the health space.
Love Out Loud is a cutting edge global movement that’s shifting humanities paradigm of fear and painting a possibility. With a vision to facilitate the world’s largest love-based movement in human history, we’re engaging 4% of the global populous by the end of 2020.
Love Out Loud makes self-love, love for others and leading a meaningful life, practical, accessible and proves that love is a practicable skillset that can be learnt by anyone.
In this episode you will hear:
05:30 the mirror of vulnerability
06:20 a life changing vulnerable conversation
09:20 an act of sacrificial love
13:30 truth without compassion can feel like brutality
15:20 love isn't finding the perfection, it is the unconditional permission to explore the imperfection
21:50 I need to change the world through love - a heart centred mission or continuation of insanity?
25:50 when people doubt you, if you continue to back yourself, humbly and gracefully, people will eventually begin to doubt themselves
26:50 the youngest commissioner ever, influencing national decision making and a 40 million dollar budget
29:50 there's more that unites us than divides us
31:50 LOVE OUT LOUD
I hope this has inspired you to have a little more love for yourself and others and would love for you to share this with at least one person who would benefit from hearing Nicole's message.
Much love
Ryan

Those people that are going to LOVE you tough and give you feedback and opinion that is going to help you IMPROVE.

In the police, leaders would ask; what keeps you up at night? They would ask this as a way of trying to understand what people were prioritising, whether they were focusing on the right things, and subconsciously making a judgment as to whether they care enough about what needs to be done.
Well. Might I suggest we ask a different question?
Instead of what keep you up at night, ask you people, what must absolutely go right for this to be a success?
See what difference that makes.
Much love
Ryan
This short episode was inspired by a conversation last night in our Master Heart and Mind Group Coaching programme.
Rather than look at others and compare yourself, just seek to understand where you are right now.
Are you;
PREPARING - yourself for success?
PRACTICING - to make progress?
PERFORMANCE - and getting results?
REFLECTING - on how to improve?

What do leaders need to know about one of the most famous social psychology studies?
That EVERYTHING rises and falls on leadership.
Here’s why.
The Stanford Prison Experiment (Zimbardo 1972) found that when ordinary people assumed roles of either prisoner or guard, their behaviour changed in line with the expectations and stereotypes of those positions.
In 2014, leaders at Wiltshire Police were brave enough to look under the stone of their culture following a heavily target driven regime.
They found that good people often did unethical things because of the pressures and expectations placed upon them.
When people show up to workplaces, they do so with positive intentions. No one sets out to be unethical.
But when leaders create cultures that rewards target delivery over values based leadership, over time you naturally see more behaviours that exist purely to hit those targets, some of which will become unethical and the results will be rewarded.
This means, leaders not only ignore the behaviour, they condone it.
Culture is so important for humans in the workplace. As social creatures, we have an innate desire to belong. So we look to those around us for clues on how to behave, to not only fit in but also to grow and progress.
Great leaders show focus on values based cultures that stand for something, are seeking to make the lives of others better through their product or services and have this delivered by teams who are connected and focused on we rather me.
Leaders should reward effort and behaviour, values based leadership, courage and grit rather than simply results.
Because if we purely value results without caring HOW they are achieved, your culture will crumble from the inside.
And THIS, is the responsibility of leadership.
Thrive or crumble through your culture.
You, your team and your organisation will rise or fall based on your leadership.
Think perverse behaviours “will never happen here”?
Being a small force, Wiltshire Police could have thought that too. But they had the courage to look. They found. Then did something about it.
Over to you.
Much love
Ryan 💙

In 2016, reading the Go Giver Leader spoke to my heart. It gave me a frame of reference for leadership that I had always felt was possible, but had never come across material describing it the way the authors in this book manage.

12:15 Character traits of a Go Giver Leader

p.s. Happy Birthday Adam!
In these times it is really important to surround yourself with good people. That's what I did and got on a call with previous interview session guests Jonathan Darling (Ep 22) founder of Impact Leadership and Leyla Bakali-Laughton (Ep 55) founder of WE ARE UNDRESSED.
During the conversation I thought it would be valuable to share our discussion. What you will hear is how three leaders who lead with love are all facing different challenges in the present times and are responding in different ways.
Leyla has sped up which has brought opportunities and challenges while Jonathan has slowed down, bringing equally unique challenges and opportunities.
I hope this proves insightful and gives you some inspiration for how you might show up during these times and look back and reflect on your leadership.
Much love
Ryan
Here, I share my framework for leading yourself.

How do you respond under pressure?
Do you go to mush?
Do you harden and crack?
Or do you have a purpose, are you able to sacrifice and can you transform the environment around you?
Give it some thought.

02:30 what happens when you stop trying to be good enough and simply start doing what you love
04:00 change - is it through desperation or inspiration?
05:00 what it means to take a leap of faith
07:00 focus on the internal
09:00 anxiety is normal and provides us a message

12:30 positive mental health

In this episode I am joined by a man after my own heart. Joe Ferraro is the host of the 1% better podcast. Even though Joe is teacher, what you'll hear from the richness of this interview is that Joe remains very much a student and this shows in his learnings around self awareness, personal development and leadership. We talk about what it means to be 1% better and how closely that ethos aligns with being ABTY. We discuss how taking imperfect action is better than perfect inaction. We talk about leadership and culture and how great leaders ask the simple question of "what do you guys need from me?". Joe and I also bond in our admiration from James Clear - author of Atomic Habits - a book that perfectly describe what we represent. I think you will really enjoy this conversation. Please let me know if that's the case. Do share it with someone you feel needs to hear it! My favourite quote Joe shared was from Pria Parker - "every time we are together is a chance to practice a world we wish existed". How amazing is that. ABTY, that's what we strive to do. Create the world we wish existed, for ourselves and others.

In this week's episode I speak with Liam McKelvie, motivational speaker and founder of ZeroLimbits.
At the age of 2, Liam sadly had his four limbs amputated because of meningitis.
In this conversation we cover, motivation, resilience, depression, gratitude, persistence and purpose.
The one thing that resonated with me most was the fact that Liam said his positive mental attitude has been developed because he simply had no choice. Can you imagine what we all would be capable if we considered that we had no other choice and that quitting was not an option. Powerful thought.
Please do share this with the one person you feel needs to hear Liam's message.

Ep 62 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was recorded with Athena Melchizedek Sananda before Christmas.
Honestly, I’ve held off publishing this one because I’ve been spending time trying to work out how I feel about this interview in light of my ever developing Christian beliefs.
But I’ve had to check myself and remember that this podcast isn’t about me.
It is about my guest, my listeners and the sharing of perspectives to help people learn and move forward.
This lady is incredible. A beautiful soul who it was a pleasure to meet at an event last year and share space together on this interview.
Sorry for delaying. Hope you enjoy Ep 62.

In this podcast I reflect on how much of a challenge 2019 has been.
I have learned:
-
Love is REALLY important to me
-
I have the courage to do whatever it takes
-
Even in my hardest times, I still have the strength to serve and look after others
-
There is so much out of our control, just focus on what you can control and that's how we show up and how we lead
-
God has a plan for me and I am learning to trust in that
-
The right people can make such a profound impact on your life - positively or negatively. Choose them wisely.
-
Prioritise your physical and mental health
I'm grateful for it all. I wouldn't be entering 2020 as powerful and purposeful without the pain.
What has 2019 taught you?
What is your focus for 2020?
My focus is to lead with love and serve with purpose. Everyday.
Much love and thank you

Ep 61 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Senior Leader, life coach and military veteran Chris Middleton
Chris shared his story and the things this man has had to overcome in his life so far is nothing short of inspiring.
A story of such pain and loss, purpose, meaning and giving back.
The man has a huge degree of humility and recognised the various people he had in his corner that helped him become the man he is today, showing the importance of who you have around you really matters.
We also touched on his experiences with StrongMen and how powerful the bond has become between people with shared understanding and experiences.
Such a powerful conversation that I hope you will share with someone who needs to hear it.

In this short episode, I share with the ABTY community how I had to admit I was breaking before I could start doing what I needed to do to rebuild stronger.

This week WE ARE ABTY hit two years old.
This community that started and that we’ve created together has been a place of safety, connection, love and inspiration for not only me but hundred of people all around the world. 🌎
We held a Facebook live together and shared stories of what being part of ABTY means to us.
This is what matter most. True impact. Not numbers.
Numbers will only look to advance the group and show it and me as successful (or not).
For me, it’s more about the stories and hearing how the community has helped others be more successful.
That’s the true value of our community.
We rise by lifting others.
Through love, non judgment, empathy, service and accountability.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey either watching or taking an active part and a special thank you to the 50+ people who have contributed their time, energy and love to help others be better than yesterday.
Much love

Hearing Emma-Louise talk about her story and the challenges she’s overcome in her life, I couldn’t help but be inspired by what she shared.
One thing I love that she now does as a result of her challenges in the past is to never miss an opportunity to tell people how much they mean to her.
Hopefully hearing this episode will inspire you to make the most of that before we have to experience loss in our life.
I also enjoyed how Emma-Louise is showing up with Emari in a way that is true and consistent with her values and beliefs.
Another practical tip that was shared were the 7 questions she asks herself daily. My favourite of this were have I loved enough, what have I learned and have I made a difference.

Ep 56 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with elf love expert and manifesting Queen Gina Swire 👑
Gina is on a global mission to help a billion women fall madly in love with themselves.
After struggling with her own self-worth and image issues, Gina quit her career as a plus sized model at the height of her fame in order to embark on her own journey of transformation.
This was such a powerful conversation.
Gina’s transformation happened from the inside out. At the levels of her identity and her beliefs.
Once she begun to love and accept herself her friends began to notice on the outside.
“I chose to love and accept myself”
I also loved Gina’s commitment to remove things from her life that no longer served her. A true testament to self love and creating healthy boundaries.
There was so much insight and value in this conversation. Be sure to check the interview out in full and head to GinaSwire.com for more content.

Ep 54 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Efrem Brynin, director of Strongmen, a charity that aims to tackle emotional and mental health issues brought about by the suffering from bereavement.
I was a little more nervous before this episode, mainly because I had heard Efrem speak at the Mind Yourself LYL event and it's safe to say I shed a few tears hearing his story.
It was at that event that I realised the power that one talk or one podcast can have on our lives. I realised it can be life changing. Perspective changing.
Sadly, in 2013 Efrem's son was killed on his second tour of Afghanistan.
In 2016 Efrem was #11 on SAS Who Dares Wins Series 2, an experience which likely saved his life as it was there he displayed symptoms that led to his cancer diagnosis.
Not only has he overcome cancer and now in remission, he has joined forces with Dan Cross from Series 3 of SAS WDW and Ollie Ollerton in setting up StrongMen.
There is so much in this conversation we can learn from. Perspective. Purpose. Leadership. Courage. Resilience. Health and well-being.
For me, i'm inspired to live more in the moment, make the most of the simple things and to focus on making the best out of life and situations.
If you are or know a man who is struggling with emotional and mental health issues as a result of bereavement, do share www.StrongMen.org.uk with them.
It could change their life for the better.
I'd love to know what you take away from this powerful conversation.

This week I started listening to Dottir by Katrin Davidsdottir 2x fittest woman on earth.
Just the foreword itself got me hooked. It was written by Katrin’s coach Ben Bergeron
Ben talks about building athletes from the inside out. It’s something I believe in too with mindset and leadership coaching.
He goes on to describe 4 character traits that he looks for when taking on a new athlete.
-
Coachable
-
Confidence
-
Positivity
-
Passion
I’ve given a quick summary of what these character traits mean in my latest podcast (Link in bio).
It’s a short 5 minute episode. Go check it out.
I’m a couple of chapters through the book. It’s so good.
I will be sure to share my learning with you and who knows, maybe one day I’ll get to interview Katrin and ask her all my curious questions about her mindset.

Ep 53 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Rebecca Case-Lawler of Lawler Sport and Performance Consulting LLC
Rebecca is a former elite tennis player, USCG and now a performance consultant.
Rebecca has a really strong sense of service which led her to joining the USCG after the events of 9/11 only to have to leave a few years later through injury.
Injury again cut short her professional tennis career.
What I loved hearing from Rebecca is that despite this adversity, she “chose to have a different outlook”.
It was also great to hear how her mindset from her tennis days of precision and execution, came in handy on an operation with the USCG.
Based on this conversation, I got a huge sense of hope, optimism, service, excellence and hard work are all core components of her mindset.
Summarised by the phrase “I can, I will”.

This weakness soon became his biggest strength. His ability to adapt.
He is the founder of the no label defines me movement. Having no label define you creates possibility he says.
Nathan has a powerful mindset that has helped him adapt and overcome physical adversity and now inspires others to take accountability and ownership of their own lives.

Ep 49 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with retired 2 Para Captain and Systema Instructor Systema Academy Matt Hill
I really enjoyed getting to know a bit more about Matt and his experiences.
It was great to hear how living in Japan for two years shaped his development and actually made his military training at Sandhurst a little easier. Mentally speaking at least!
As a former Captain I was of course curious to know more about his leadership learnings. Of course we discussed what it means to serve and to sacrifice. But his definition of leadership was one I hadn’t heard before and it speaks volumes.
Leadership is the communication of emotion - Matt Hill
Matt owns his own Systema academy in Melksham, Wiltshire. I enjoyed hearing more about Systema and it’s ability to help develop better people through body and mind techniques.
We also discussed a little about mentorship with Systema Vasiliev: Russian Martial Art
As a final thought Matt simply said “Don’t rush, savour the moment.”

Ep 47 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Heather Parady entrepreneur, podcast host and community leader.
It was great to hear how Heather has pursued her calling and entrepreneurship from an early age.
I enjoyed hearing what it meant to be an “unconventional leader” and in Heather’s words, some of the best leaders come from unconventional backgrounds and have developed great empathy, are purpose driven and impact focused. Something I wholeheartedly connect with.
There were lots of other practical things to note in our conversation, particularly the really strong habit of journalling which Heather has maintained for over 10 years.

Last night I revisited one of my favourite TV series Band of Brothers. I've learned a lot about leadership since I first watched it years ago.
It was incredible to watch the leadership style of David Schwimmer's character Captain Herbert Sobel.
In this short podcast I share my thoughts on why his leadership was soo poor that led people in his command refusing to follow him into war and what I think he could have done differently to get the best out of those around him.
I also know that Major Winters is the real true leader and can't wait to learn and be inspired by him in the up and coming episodes.
Love to know your thoughts!

The ABTY community absolutely loved Dan, and it wasn’t because he came on topless. It was because he was real, honest, raw and gave some great insight developing a mindset to manage and overcome anxiety.
We talked about how Headstrong Mentality came to be and that it’s all about helping you be the best you.
It was also great to hear about how #CrossFit has become a big part of his life, having a community of likeminded positive people challenge and support him be even better. Sound familiar?
Dan’s take on what it means to be ABTY is to focus on being 1% better everyday. One more rep. A little heavier. And to celebrate your wins!
This was one of the most engaged sessions so far. Head to Facebook | YouTube | Podcast to find out why.
Also, it’s very powerful and there will be someone in your network who needs to hear it. Please share it with them.
Much love

As this podcast reached 4K listens and my Interview Sessions reached 40 episodes, I shared my reflections on how I wouldn't be here right now if I didn't JUST START. Find your passion. Start small. Don't set out to change the world. Set out to change the world for one person. Much love Ryan

This episode was the pure definition of inspiring. Phil took himself from being left paralysed after a life threatening stroke to competing within a year. He achieved this through the power of his mind. No doubt.
His WHY - to be able to pick up his children again was just touching to hear.
There was so much to takeaway from this conversation that you’re just going to have to watch or listen to it to really feel the true power of it.

This podcast is taken from a mentor session delivered to the WE ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY facebook community.
I share my reflections and inspiration from the lyrics of Jess Glynne.
It's amazing what happens when you open your mind to learning. When you do, you will be able to learn from any person or situation.
For me, I share 6 lyrics that inspired me to think more about love, life and leadership. There will be countless more and I'd love to know what lyrics from either Jess or other artists, inspire you.
Feel free to share.

Ep 37 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Angela Ramel Holistic Feminine Embodiment Mentor.
This conversation with Angela was so intriguing. She described her family environment growing up as somewhere taboo subjects were easily talked about. Some of the content Angela shared, people might not be used to. But me being the curious person I am, I loved it.
A big part of Angela’s approach is to get out of the mind and into the senses. Embracing orgasmic, sensual energy.
There are a number of things Angela referred to that have helped her and how she now helps others, such as yoga, micro meditations, movement, yoni healing, anchoring, hypnosis and saying yes to pleasure!
Angela is intuitive and authentic and loves helping people to self love, self care and self pleasure. She believes that people who show up with this orgasmic energy are better for those people around them.

We had a great discussion about leading a family as well as a community and the importance of great teamwork in the home.

Ep 32 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with best selling author and speaker Paul McGee “the Sumo Guy”
SUMO was one of the best personal development books I listened to in 2018.
I saw Paul speak in December and he blew me away.
This interview, it’s safe to say was with one of my idols.
It was a brilliant conversation and full of so much practical and useful advice that can literally be implemented by anyone in their own journey.
The conversation almost never happened after many failed attempts. But we believed, persisted, never gave up and had an incredible conversation in the end.
I know this will be of value to go and I’d love to know which bit specifically resonates with you most.

Ep 31 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with young entrepreneur, mindset coach and community leader Luke Burrows
During our conversation we heard how Luke has pushed through anxiety through self development, finding his purpose and value to now building a business and community, helping others grow.
I admire Luke's attitude of “there must be more to life” and how he has used that along with “no regrets” to keep him growing and moving forward.
The standout quote for me was “I can do anything, but I might not be able to do everything”.
Luke is a passionate young man with a desire to help people win. He is a leader and it has been my pleasure to serve alongside him in his Grow2Gether community.

Personally, it's one of my favourite leadership books I've read.
It perfectly captures that leadership is about.. people, people, people.
Ep 30 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Nicole Termin communication wizard 🧙🏻♀️
We had a great conversation about Nicole’s mindset, what helps her show up as an entrepreneur, educator (Udemy)and someone who has grown a very large social media following.
We also talked about why communication is important and how developing leaders can develop their communication skills by learning first how to listen!

Ep 29 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Session was with Bodybuilding Champion, Personal Trainer, Mindset Coach, Entrepreneur and DJ Troy Brown
This was a powerful conversation and true to my being a life long learner, I took so much from this episode.
I took lots of notes from all the value that Troy was dropping 💣
We discussed what it takes to compete at the highest level. To develop discipline, to work with vision, persistence, purpose, curiosity, self improvement and service.
I love Troy’s approach to keep pushing the comfort zone, becoming comfortable with feeling uncomfortable.

-
Reflect on Jonathan's recent leadership speaking experience
-

Spoiler alert. Show you care. Put your needs to one side. Focus on others. Focus on the small things. Make a positive difference to the lives of others. Give more than you take.
Much love
JD and Ryan
Ep 28 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with UFC fighter John Gunther ( @followmeimblind )
This was a fascinating interview. One that I'd been dying to have since I saw John on the Ultimate Fighter.
John has a unique mindset and character. I really liked hearing his perspective on pain.
“Learn to enjoy pain and life will be wonderful”
It was also great to hear how he reflects on and learns from defeat and keeps moving forward.
We touched on confidence, how how much you learn and grow as a human in the octagon, recovering from injury and just loving what you do.
This was a really enjoyable conversation with someone that competes on a worldwide stage.
I hope you find great value and insight in the talk. Head over to Facebook | YouTube for the full video.

Ep 27 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Brian Formato founder of Leadersurf.
This conversation, when it finally happened, was well worth the facebook difficulties.
I loved hearing about Brian’s leadership retreat concept and how powerful an experiential learning environment is for developing leaders.
There was so much value in this conversation that’s it’s hard to pick my favourite parts.
I loved two parts of the leadersurf programme.
The self discovery and personal growth through reflection and surfing. Secondly, the humanitarian work to help leaders experience the power of servant leadership.
I am definitely going to experience this programme one day.

Esther has taken herself from rock bottom in her own life to now living a life she loves and helping others do the same.
We talk about mindset, self doubt, courage, mindfulness and much more.
Ultimately she summed it up perfectly by saying..

Episode 25 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Nahla Summers, coach, speaker, author, podcast host and founder of Sunshine People.
I found this conversation hugely inspiring and hope you will too.
Nahla sadly lost her partner unexpectedly in his early 40’s and I felt privileged to hear how Nahla not only coped during this time but used it as a way of living her life to the fullest since.
I enjoyed hearing how she is on a mission to spread kindness and also help develop emotional intelligence in young people and WHY these things are important to her.

I've always wanted to do a Fearless Motivation inspired track. I also wanted to mark the anniversary of a difficult period in my journey and reflect on the amount of growth you can have in a year.
In this podcast I combine the two in what I called Heart Felt Motivation. No notes and speaking from the heart on the topic of belonging.
I'm constantly seeking to push my comfort zone and aim to add some value in the process.
I'd love to know your thoughts.
Much love Ryan
Ep 22 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Jonathan Darling from Engage The Heart ‘an ordinary guy trying to make an extra-ordinary impact’.
Jonathan spoke with such passion and I loved hearing him speak. He is an ultra marathon runner, leadership speaker and self branded ‘Heart-repreneur’
I love Jonathan’s view on leadership which is all about making a positive difference in the lives of others and to him, being a heart-repreneur means he connects with the hearts of others, leading with love to build self belief and purpose.
We also took a dive into the mindset of ultra marathon running and becoming comfortable with being uncomfortable.
We also touched on community support and I love what he said about his own journey. By putting fear to one side and showing up, putting out what he believes, the right people have come into his life. This is something I can wholeheartedly relate to.
This interview was a lot of fun and I have a lot of love for JD.

In this interview we talked about leadership and culture.
Loni and I first met through our joint appreciation of the @allblacks culture described in the book #Legacy by James Kerr.
It was great to hear about how the Lady Raiders have focused on leaving the jersey in a better place this year.
We also touch on building trust, holding each other accountable and developing growth mindsets.
It was a great talk and if you are a leader of a business team or sports team, hopefully there will be something you can take away and implement in your own journey that will help you and those around you be always better than yesterday 💙
Corey, aged 6 gave a facebook live mentor session in the WE ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY community on growth mindset.

This week the WE ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY community turned ONE!
I started the community a year ago as a safe space for people (especially me) to come and be themselves, be inspired and the opportunity to be inspiring.
A community of likeminded people who believe in developing themselves and others to being better than they were yesterday.
I shared that in one year, we had 346 members who had asked to join (no spam adding!) of which 90% were active in the last week. This tells me its providing a meaningful space people want to come which I love. We span 10 countries and the connections between our members has been truly special to watch.
We had 33 WHY Wednesday’s, 29 Mentor Sessions, 2 WHY workshops, 2 book reviews, 1 group HIIT and 1 live find your WHY Session.
As I tried to thank the awesome 40 contributors, I was flooded with emotion. Truly grateful and blessed to be surrounded by some of the most incredible human beings I’ve ever connected with.
I shared my personal highlights and growth in the year and was joined live by lots of our members who did the same.
It was the best feeling ever. Words can not do it justice. I am truly thankful to the community and am excited to see the people we become by being always better than yesterday.
You can grow at lot in a year 💙
Episode 20 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Amanda Thomas, owner of the House of Harmony.
Amanda gave an incredibly vulnerable and inspiring WHY Wednesday in the ABTY community and was great to be able to follow it up with an interview and ask how she had turned her life around.
We dug a little deeper into her purpose and the story behind that. I also explored how Amanda nurtured and developed her intuition.
Being able to strip her old negative thoughts and feelings and replace them with a clear sense of who see really is, what she values and her daily affirmations have made a significant difference in her life.
Amanda is an incredible lady and I urge you to check out the full interview either on Facebook | YouTube | Podcast
You will definitely be able to take something away and find some value on applying it in your own journey 💙
Ep 19 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Sonia McDonald CEO and Founder of LeadershipHQ 🙌🏻
The audio my end was terrible due to Facebook issues but here’s the thing. I was not going to miss an opportunity to speak with an inspiring role model, mentor, awesome human being and one of the worlds top 250 most influential females. No no no. So I kept smiling and hoped to add as much value as possible.
Sonia wrote a book called Leadership Attitude which I love and was great to hear more about what inspired her leadership journey and what leadership means to her.
I hope the talk inspires you to think and reflect on your own leadership and to pursue your potential.
Brooke (Spidergirl) joined us toward the end and Sonia offered to send her a copy of her book Just Rock It. A book she wrote with her own daughter in mind.
Sonia, thank you. I’m sorry the audio was terrible. It was a great pleasure sharing the space with you. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🙏🏻💙

Ep 18 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Kim Lawless WFF Bikini Pro 🏆
During our talk we discussed Kim’s journey from being a loving and present Mother but losing a sense of who she was, to finding herself, her purpose and passion.
Kim has taken herself from having thyroid problems to being an international bikini competitor and champion.
We talked about passion, determination, discipline and time management.
Be sure to check out more of Kim’s content on her Facebook and Instagram profiles.

Ep 17 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Tedx speaker and entrepreneur Sara Gaver (@wheellifeconnections)
I thoroughly enjoyed getting to understand Sara’s mindset.
We talked about perceptions, positivity, leadership, self development and purpose.
Sara is a hugely empowering and inspiring leader when it comes to encouraging others to live with no limits.
I loved hearing Sara’s perspective on life. A pure example of leadership, courage, determination and ambassador for living a life without limits.
In total awe. Be sure to check out the full interview on Facebook | YouTube | Podcast 🙏🏻💙
Ep 16 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Team USA freestyle kayaker Katie Fankhouser 🇺🇸
During the interview I was blown away by the mindset that Katie has developed at 16 years of age.
We spoke about confidence, overcoming fear, training, competition, setting goals and being better than yesterday.
It was amazing how kayaking has given Katie confidence and how that has impacted in other areas of life.
I also loved the story Katie shared about the skippy rippy. A move she created whilst competing at the world championships. Innovation under pressure. True confidence 🙌🏻
Her final message was “do what you love” and I couldn’t agree more. 👏🏻
Katie was super inspiring and is definitely an interview you should check out and certainly share with any young people in your life. 🙏🏻
Head to Katie's Facebook | Instagram (Katie Fankhouser | @Katie.Kayak) for more of her content.
Ep 15 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Session was with my man Chris Phillips drummer of SCOUT KILLERS 🖤
During the talk we discussed Chris’ mindset when it came to pre show nerves, overcoming set backs and empty shows as well as diving into the creativity process of creating new material with his band mates.
The biggest takeaway though is the power of doing what you love.
Chris wouldn’t describe himself as naturally gifted and very rarely dedicated himself to getting better at anything growing up.
He always had a passion for drums so when he invested in his first kit, this started the process of Chris truly becoming better than yesterday.
It is by doing what he loved that motivated him to continually learn, practice, dedicate himself to his craft and keep going in the good times and especially the hard times on the road.
Head to ChrisPhillipsDrummer.co.uk to check out more. You can find Scout Killers on all music platforms and ScoutKillers.com
In this mentor session for the WE ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY community, I share my opinions on the subject of Leadership vs. Management.
You may pick up on my bias but I believe only one of these will change the world and only one of these will unlock the potential in others and that is LEADERSHIP.
I hope you find the rant useful and would love to hear your view, opinions and stories of great leadership and management.
Much love Ryan

Chris has an incredible mindset and a passion to serve others. It was a real pleasure to interview her and I’m sure it will give you something to take away and think about in your own journey.
In this live I shared within the WE ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN YESTERDAY community I talk about the concept of wallowing.
I recently read the book S.U.M.O by Paul McGee and in it, he talks about Hippo Time. We are human and to be human is to feel emotion. To feel the positive we must first know what the negative feels like.
In this short session you will hear that it is ok to wallow but to be mindful of three things.
- What you share
- Who you share it with
- How long you stay in wallow time
If this podcast adds you value, I'd love for you to subscribe and share it with the one person you feel would benefit from it.
In this mentor session I share with you 7 principals that I believe can help you be more positive.
- MIND YOUR LANGUAGE
- WHAT YOU FOCUS ON GROWS - SO FOCUS ON THE POSITIVE
- STAND FOR SOMETHING
- MAKE POSITIVE CHOICES
- SERVE WITH A SMILE
- ONLY POSITIVE PEOPLE ALLOWED
- LEAVE THE WORLD A MORE POSITIVE PLACE
As always, I'd love to know what resonates most with you. Do drop me a message or email ryanbhartley@gmail.com
Much love
Ep 12 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with @the_why_blog host @luke_fraz
What amazed me was that we both have been inspired on our journey by watching @simonsinek #TedTalk and it has led us to connect deeply through purpose, something which Luke passionately represents. 🙌🏻
Luke is a real life example of the vision I have for the future leaders I want to create. Purpose driven, authentic, curious, courageous, vulnerable and an ability to connect and inspire other human beings. 🙏🏻
There is so much in this conversation that people can learn from.
We dive deeper into authenticity, purpose and service as well as feeling the fear and doing it anyway, surrounded by great people pushing you to become more. 🔥

Ep 11 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with 2x Paralympic Gold Medallist and Motivational Speaker Stephanie Millward MBE 🥇🥇
After some technical difficulties, I had what was easily one of the most inspiring conversations I have ever had.
Asking @millward.stephanie my curious questions about her habits, her mindset and her motivation, I quickly got an insight into the person behind the achievements. In the episode you will hear the:
POWER of a DREAM POWER of POSITIVITY POWER of COMMITMENT POWER of DEDICATION POWER of VISUALISATION POWER of TEAMWORK POWER of PURPOSE
The audio quality is not perfect but the content and the message is priceless 🔥
The people closest to you will either hold you back or raise you.
In this mentor session, I help you understand how you can raise your average, increase your self belief and become always better than yesterday.
In this short episode, I share with you a story about a wonderful man I met in 2017 through my time with the Princes Trust called Tom.
Tom has Downs Syndrome. But this does not stop him from having a positive impact on everyone he meets.
My message here is simple. We can effect great change. It isn't about changing the world. It's about making an impact and a difference with every interaction we have.
One person at a time.
Ep 10 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Leadership and Business Coach Helen Packham.
During the interview, Helen shared her story, a story that involves telling her story through a @tedx_official she gave at the Brighton Dome and how she now helps leaders stand out by telling their own story.
It was great to hear a bit more about what it meant for Helen to BELIEVE and DREAM and also how vision boards and visualisation played a bit part in helping her along the way.
I particularly like the insight she gave into preparing her mindset before delivering her TedX talk. She used the Power Pose by @amycuddy as used a POWER word 🔥
Helen’s story and view on the world is an idea more than worthy of spreading as she now helps develop COURAGEOUS Leaders.

Episode 9 was with Swedish NLP Business Coach and Leader Anna Sandborn 💙
Anna talked about how surviving a serious car accident at the age of 15 has given her the perspective to live her life and to do the things she wants to do 🙌🏻
After a lot of success and achievement throughout her 20’s, Anna started to lose herself in her early 30’s.
What is unbelievable is that Anna survived another serious car accident. 😲
This gave her another reminder that she has to make the most of the life she has been blessed with.
Anna’s shared some lessons she’s learned along the way: 💙Look back at your achievements, progress and lessons to gain strength 💙Pain can take you to a better place 💙Show vulnerability and ask for help 💙Set healthy boundaries with things or people 💙Do I have to it do I want to? - do more of what you want to
It was a privilege to interview Anna. She has been a wonderful contributor to the WE ARE ABTY community and I’m very grateful for her support and friendship.
In this mentor session I share my take on developing leadership using my 3 pillars approach.
Pillar 1. Leading yourself Pillar 2. Leading Others Pillar 3. Leaving a Legacy
It wasn't scripted and came from the heart. I even went off topic and brought in a Finding Nemo reference.
I offer my thoughts on leadership to help support and inspire developing leaders to find their own views and identity as a leader.
I am passionate about developing confident and authentic leaders who lead with purpose. Find out how in this session.
In this session, my son Corey wanted to do his first ever facebook live to my community of nearly 300 people, to talk about coaching, confidence and to help them be happy.
:)
Its amazing what we can learn from curiosity, kindness and innocence.
I am super proud of him. He may not want to be like his Dad in future and be a coach and that's ok. I know that his values of service and kindness will mean that he goes on to make a difference wherever he goes.
In this mentor session, I shared some self development tips and tricks with the awesome Sassy Squad, a community of over 750 inspiring women, growing themselves and their businesses.
During the session I shared tips to help with creating clarity, developing belief, overcoming failure, setting goals and finding motivation.
One of my favourite mindset tips I shared was to "talk to yourself not listen to yourself". this one has helped me on many occasions.
I hope you enjoy the content and that it adds you value. do let me know what the most valuable takeaway was for you.
In this bonus self development mentor session I share the 8 habits I have developed that have help me be Always Better than Yesterday.
Habit 1. Self reflection Habit 2. Seek feedback Habit 3. Set goals Habit 4. Work on my mindset Habit 5. Surround myself with likeminded people Habit 6. Maximise my time Habit 7. Maximise my resources Habit 8. Practice self care

Ep 8 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with the inspiring Gemma Hunt 🙌🏻
I approached Gemma because I think she is a perfect example of what it means to love what you do and I think she is a wonderful role model for young children in her role at the CBBC ☠️
I really want to be able to show to young people that successful people are no different to them and that with the right attitude and mindset, anything is possible. 🏆
It was great to hear Gemma talk about how she found out what she loved to do from an early age which was to entertain children. However, had she listened to her career adviser and played it safe, she may have never ended up fulfilling her hearts desire, her potential and inspiring thousands of young people. 👏🏻
At the end of the interview I asked what her 3 big lessons in life were so far. Her response was beautiful. Here’s the short version: 1️⃣ follow your hearts desire 2️⃣ keep your cheerleaders close 3️⃣ always believe in yourself
Ep 7 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Reece Anderson
During the interview it was inspiring to hear how Reece went from being a fit and able sportsman to being crippled by panic attacks and mental health issues which lead him to attempting to take his own life 😢
It is amazing to see how he came back from being at his lowest point to now being someone that helps others overcome their own mental health issues. 💪🏻
Some of the key lessons Reece has learned along the way are
💡Take Ownership - you can have all the support in the world but until you admit “I’m not ok” only then can you start to take action
💡Don’t try and please everyone
💡Prioritise self care - not always the popular choice but looking after himself meant he was a better person to be around
We also talked about a toolkit he has developed to help himself with any struggles 🧠Checking in with his body, recognising triggers 🧠Meditation 🧠Tapping 🧠Pyrolle 🧠Eating well 🧠Moving the body
I Interviewed @davidavolpe in Ep 6 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions. 📽
David’s book @justathoughtbook is one of my favourite self development books and it was amazing to hear what inspired David to write it.
My favourite quote from the book was Mike Tyson’s “everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face”. 🥊
David’s favourite quote was “to live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist and that is all”.
David’s enthusiasm and passion shone through as he spoke and I highly recommend heading to my Facebook page to check out the full interview.
I am sure it will inspire you to check out his book. Many listeners already have! 📘
Ep 5 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with Craig McHugh, coach, trainer, speaker and owner of @livingyourlearning 🎥💙 After having Craig speak recently on #WHYWednesday within my community, I asked him a bit about his purpose which in short is about helping people, teams and organisations be BETTER at what they do 📈 When I first spoke with Craig I was instantly drawn to him, how he talked and what he stood for. It was only when hearing his WHY that the penny dropped. We are both on this planet to do the same thing, just going about it our individual ways! 🙌🏻 Craig talked a bit about what being Always Better than Yesterday means to him, how he is ABTY and how his consultancy LivingYourLearning helps teams and organisations be ABTY. 🤩 It was a fascinating insight into the great man and his mindset. Many live viewers fell in love with him (and his wonderful beard). 🧠🔥
Ep 4 of the Always Better than Yesterday Interview Sessions was with my friend and mentor @shaun_browne 💙
During our talk we discussed: 📚 Advice for school leavers 💤 Morning routines 🌀 Discovering who we truly are 🗣 Public speaking ☯️ Flow ❤️ Love and connection
I just love hearing the truth and passion with which Shaun speaks. Truly mesmerising.
We may even have sung a bit of Wonderwall at the end to keep pushing my comfort zone and being at peace with who we are.
It was my honour to interview South African Peak Performance Life Coach @michaelrodd. 💙
Michael gave us a great insight into his Peak Performance Framework 🏋🏼♀️ Physiology ❤️ Emotion 🎯 Action 🧠 Knowledge
What makes this framework great is Michael’s coaching philosophy. He, like I, prefer to focus his approach from the inside out. Exploring WHO we are and WHY, not just what we do. 🏆
Michael believes great coaches have a bigger purpose that drives them to want to help other people. For him, it was his childhood experiences.
His passion for helping people is contagious and I felt privileged to be able to ask him about his experiences ranging from;
🏋🏼♀️ being a top 10 body builder 👑 working with royal family in Monaco 🗣 attending Tony Robbin’s UPW 🧠 his personal development habits 📚 his top recommended book
In the words of Tony Robbins - “knowledge is potential power” and I hope that this helps others learn something new and feel inspired put that into action. 🙌🏻
Always Better than Yesterday Interview Session Ep 2 was with Neil Sinclair, ex commando and author of the @commando_dad book series. 📚
I absolutely loved our discussion about the books, what inspired them and his thoughts and advice on modern parenting. 🙌🏻
Neil gave great insight into; 🧠First time parenting 🧠Routine 🧠Self Esteem 🧠Mindset wobbles 🧠Asking for help 🧠Fear and anxiety 🧠Being present 🧠Getting outdoors 🧠Influencing teenagers 🧠School holidays and of course... 🧠Being always better than yesterday!
It was great to be able to share with Neil my experiences of parenting and how his books, especially Mission Adventure, have inspired me to do more with Corey and Brooke. 💚💜
Neil’s positive energy and passion is so contagious. Head over to my Facebook profile to check out the full interview for inspiration. 🌲⛺️
