Gav Scott
Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds is very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilizing, influencing, impacting, and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues, and the wider public.
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Joel Salomon about his journey from hedge fund manager to becoming a master prosperity coach.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My dream in 1993 would have been to be a hedge fund manager, managing other people’s money. It took me 15 year to achieve that dream, mostly because when I asked people how to become a hedge fund manager they gave me massive doubt, a ton of rejection. Final I found one person who gave me his route & I followed it mostly. But along the way I still had a lot of doubt. Now, when I coach my clients, I teach them #doubtthedoubt, have faith in your dream, not your doubt.
- It doesn’t need to take you 15 years. That’s why I’m here; so my long road can lead to your short cut. My big ‘why’ is to help at least 100,000 people become financially free. That’s what gets me up in the morning. I visualise & meditate every morning, b ut then I get out into the world & take action, I meet people, because I believe the only way to help is by taking action.
- The shortcut is mindset. Not just visualisation & meditation. It’s when you believe in your mission, your purpose, yourself & others you will come at your work from a completely different point of view. What do you believe about money? Can you be spiritual & rich? Do you have to work really hard to be rich & successful? You could be creating resistance when you think you have to do all this stuff, it’s better to be in the flow.
- You have a relationship with money whether you know it or not. I met a woman last year who told me: “I don’t care about money.” If you don’t care about money, I’m pretty sure it doesn’t care about you. Think about it as a person. It’s not going to flow to you if you use those words, so care about it. You don’t have to be greedy, but it’s good to be rich. If you had $10 million you could give $1 million away to your favourite charity or create your own charity.
BEST MOMENTS
‘There are a million ways to become rich, not just options, it could be stocks, real estate, even your own business.’
‘Work out your passion & your purpose & I believe you’ll be more prosperous doing those things than by doing something you feel you’re required to to pay the bills.’
‘I don’t know any billionaires who sit at home all day & meditate & visualise. They visualise their dreams (& I’m sure most of them do meditate), but they’re also getting out into the world & taking inspired action.’
‘Money is just energy. By putting it out there it will come back to you.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Many people I work with on their voice, including me, have some kind of trauma that held them back or kept them small & not free to express themselves. For me it was growing up in a house of oppressive silence. When I started to explore my voice, I was freer & able to move forward. I love helping people discover the true version of themselves.
- Take clips from Steve Carrell or Jim Carey films and mimic them to get yourself out of your comfort zone & play with your range. Before you’re going to do some public speaking go up and down your range to get out of your monotone. Record the first paragraph of your signature speech & play it back to yourself. Listen to if you’re monotone, & really be critical. If you can do that and listen from the point of view of your audience. It’ll feel weird, but try it.
- You sound better than you think. It takes practice, but you’re allowed to be as ‘big’ as you want. Be the character of a person that never had trauma, who was never told not to sing or quiet down. That’s the version of you you’re allowed to get to.
- Everybody is unique, it’s one of the things I love about the voice & the work that I do. I don’t know who the true version of that person is, once we find that & let it out into the world it’s so exciting. Find your weirdness and greatness and watch the world open up to you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s all about bringing the full version of you to the table every time you show up, & your voice is that key.’
‘My background is in music so I like to bring a sense of musicality to your speaking voice.’
‘We get silly to get serious results.’
‘Music connects people & breaks down boundaries.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Esther Apoussidis to talk about what energy alignment is and how she uses it in her role as a holistic coach.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most people function from their headspace, they’re very analytical, they overthink things, they’re in a crowded mind space, they find it difficult to get things done & often reach burnout. That’s an energetic imbalance. When we reconnect back to the heart centre it sends more electrical signals to our brain that the brain sends to the heart. I use a unique methodology called the ‘energetic alignment method’ which uses the body sway to get feedback on that energetic imbalance.
- It’s very uplifting to see how this changes people. It’s very powerful. We really get to the root/core of the problem very quickly – often in one session, sometimes longer. But, once we get into alignment we can use it to tap into our higher selves in terms of getting more lucid decision making that sits in alignment with their purpose.
- It’s a gradual progression, it takes time to stretch the muscle of self-belief, but once you do you’ll find that people are magnetised to you & they will reach out. But it all starts from the idea that you need to start thinking that not everyone else’s way is the better way, start focussing on who your are & feeling into the core of your message & connecting to that.
- We forget that we are part of the world and the cosmos, it is an abundant environment, we are led to believe it’s scarce because we’ve been brainwashed or indoctrinated to believe that. But, you have to take the steps forward while being in alignment and the universe will meet you half way & offers such great pickings.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The heart is the source, or the centre, of our intuition (it’s 5000 more powerful than the brain).’
‘I get people out of the doldrums, from low frequency to high frequency energy which makes all the difference in the way you feel, move through the world, & how you think & feel.’
‘A lot of people don’t really understand who they are & why they’re here which brings self-doubt. Once you get clarity it’s a game changer & helps you move your business forward.’
‘The heart knows, follow what you feel is right.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- 3 years ago, the world shut down and everyone was forced into a digital space. I took it very seriously that my clients weren’t going to be victims of the unexpected, which is why you build networks; to have the resources you need when the unexpected happens.
- You could call it networking, but networking is an activity, like cooking or running, something you do to accomplish a greater goal. The purpose of Crusaders Networking & being a strategic connection coach is the greater goal and the multiple paths that you can get there, which is not after-hours mixers, passing a business card, listening to sales pitches and drinking… not that there’s anything wrong with drinking!
- There are 4 goals that professionals need on a consistent basis for long-term success. 1) Creating & maintaining relationships. 2) Finding & leveraging opportunities. 3) Attracting strategic partners & mentors to help introduce you to larger rooms. 4) A measurable action plan so you can pay attention to what is working & needs more of you time, & what is not working & needs less or to be adjusted.
- You see people who are ‘natural’ or ‘comfortable’ doing something & you think ‘I could never do that’ when the reality of it is it’s a skill & they’ve practiced it for so long that it looks like art. But, at some point they were students learning it. Making mistakes is natural & normal.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I create environments where businesses can come to get to know each other, become referral partners, & grow.’
‘When times are good, it’s easy to dismiss the necessity to build network, but when times are bad it’s too late, you already needed it in place. That was the seed that created Crusaders Networking.’
‘The best way to find the results that you are seeking is to go into it with strategy, intention & the right mindset.’
‘Be true to who you are. When the person you are on the inside shows on the outside, it’s like a beacon and brings in your tribe – your vibe attracts your tribe.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Wendy Caverly excels at consulting, strategy planning, as well skills training for individuals & groups. She sees what makes people amazing & loves sharing them with others. Wendy doesn't want her clients becoming copies of her, but she strives to give them the ingredients of their success & encourages them to find their own combination to become the best them possible.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It starts with recognising where you were in your life, where you are now & where you want to go. It’s that simple. By recognising the thigs that have held you back in the past, why they’ve held you back, how you can change them to help you move forward & shift your mindset from lack, complaining, worrying to one of abundance, appreciation, looking for opportunities instead of looking for problems.
- When I was 10 years old I had a tragedy in my life that affected me for the next 40 years. My brother Michael was hit by a school bus & died from his injuries. I realised that my parents were distraught & I took it upon myself to make sure my parents were always happy. That was my defining moment, I became a people pleaser that day.
- As a people pleaser, I took things personally, & I was a control freak with a short temper. I needed the recognition & approval for the things I was doing to please the others. For the next 40 years I would try to please everybody, & you can’t, but I would rationalise that I was doing it for the greater good only to come back later to recognise that the word ‘rationalise’ is really two words: ‘rational’ & ‘lies’. You lie to yourself that it’s rational to do things that go against your core belief because you want to please somebody else or your ego. Now, I ask myself if what I’m doing is telling a rational lie.
- We are all living in instant gratification mode of life, we want things to go from A-Z overnight instead of recognising you’ve got to go A-B-C-D. I didn’t lose 65lbs in 1 day, that first month of working out was a killer, but my ‘why’ was big enough that I wanted to change where I was going. Every time you say “I can’t” you’re admitting to yourself that you’re not worthy instead of saying “how can I?”
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’ve yet to meet somebody who hasn’t had adversity in their life.’
‘In 2008 during the financial crisis I went broke overnight, I lost everything, I stopped paying my mortgage, my car payments & I got repossessed. It took me about a year to recover from this, emotionally & mentally.’
‘Take care of yourself first as long as you’re not hurting anybody else.’
‘You have good as well as things that are holding you back. Recognise what’s what.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I lost my entire family at the age of 13. I realised that as much as I was hurting over the loss of my family I was about giving back & that I was hear for a reason & a purpose. I was very lonely, of course, it was devastating but I kept asking god/source/whatever you want to call it what was next for me & what I could do to make an impact and a difference.
- Grief is all around, it’s inevitable, everyone goes through it. It doesn’t matter how it happens, but it’s a shock to the nervous system so the nervous system needs to be validated, but most of all cared for & gently taken care of.
- Letting go has to be first a step in the direction of allowing yourself not to feel that it’s going to be the end for you. I believe when I first gealed through my shamanism background that letting go made me feel like I was freefalling and nobody was there to catch me. Because I’d lost my entire family I went through that lonely period wondering who was going to support me & the best person to support myself was me. Only I could pick myself up & I had to look outside of myself for love, approval, compassion & support that wasn’t superficial & was long-lasting.
- I knew that I was here for a mightier purpose & that I was saved for a reason & that my deeds here on Earth were not done. I realised that I was the gift to them that I was still here, & that the trauma in my past was my ability to become the catalyst to help others heal. I turned my pain into purpose & I became a messenger to other to not be a mess but a victorious survivor thriving in a world where letting go is not always that easy or supported. Finding peace within was the journey that I went on and what I speak of in my books.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I always thought that if I touched 1 life & made a difference my purpose on Earth was fulfilled. Now I’m on a mission to save a million lives from the downward spiral that grief can cause.’
‘Our loved ones aren’t suffering, we don’t need to be suffering, they want us to live on in their legacy that they weren’t able to live on.’
‘You have to heal yourself in order to get out there and help heal others.’
‘I help to shed light on the power of forgiveness & the power of letting go as well as leaning into self-compassion.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We think that everybody else can have faults or can screw up sometimes, but us? No. I asked my partner to do something, he texted me back saying: “It might come across nicer if it were more of a suggestion rather than a command”. I thought, oh no, I’m a terrible partner, an awful communicator, I suck. I suggested having these conversations face-to-face rather than by text & it was a totally different experience.
- I don’t allow myself to make mistakes, that’s how I learned to be safe as a kid. But now I’m learning, at the age of 61, that I get to make mistakes, or even make them mad (not on purpose) & I’m still loveable.
- Spirituality is bringing in the highest good through my inner knowing, through what my body tells me. My intuition comes through me auditorily, I hear my voice. I’ve had to build up that. There’s a whole lot of knowledge & intuitive knowing in me more connected to spirit than all the wonderful theories I’ve learned, but using them both together will be a lot better for everybody. It made me much better in all aspects of my life.
- I used to hate affirmations. It was like trying to prove or make ourselves think a certain way. When I first graduated and was studying them, I would say “I am wealthy!” but I was over $50k in debt. My whole body went: “liar” & I felt it tense because there was nothing in me that could hold on to any of that as true. What I discovered was that when I practice gratitude or say about getting more of something in my life, I will tweak it ‘til it makes me feel a little expanded, hopeful & good. I can totally get behind saying: “I want to get out of debt or have more money”.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Something I say to myself and my clients every day is: “I’m allowed to be human”.’
‘So many people work with me & think that I’ve got everything figured out, but oh no!’
‘Not once have I ever followed my intuition & regretted it. When we listen to our intuition, it can actually save us a lot of time & trouble’
‘There are 6 gazillion experts out there that want to tell us what’s good for us & what they’re really sharing is what’s true for them, it may or may not work for us.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most change in transformation is spiritual. Any time you’re healing through something, dealing with something, going through something, it changes something in you not only cognitively, but it changes you in that deep place that’s hard to explain. Spiritual life coaches tap into that, we focus on it, what is changing? Do you feel more inspired, motivated, like you’re waling in purpose?
- I was young when I knew who important purpose was. I sat around people who would say: “I remember when I was young and I used to play sports/dance/sing” and their eyes would light up. They’d walk around angry, frustrated and bitter all the time, but when they talked about this thing, something came alive in them, and I thought you myself: I never want to live life without that thing.
- I’m probably not going to stumble accidentally into living in purpose, I may stumble into discovering what’s included in my purpose or reveals a part of your purpose and think “Oh my god, I love this!” But, living in your purpose is about daily habits, daily mindsets, daily interactions, it’s about the small things.
- Sometimes you see clients really want to change/transition, but what happens is they leave something (addiction/bad habits) but don’t go towards new habits/life/meaning. That’s always going to leave you empty.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Things that you would do without getting paid to do are probably pretty close to your purpose, the things to which you add value and meaning, and they add value and meaning back to you.’
‘You do need relief and release from this pain, the question is what relief or release.’
‘My mind is my greatest critic telling me what I can’t do or be & what I’m going to screw up.’
‘If you’re only 1 drink away from courage, it’s not that far away. You just have to figure out how to reach in & get it to come out without alcohol or whatever you turn to.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you don’t have a healthy body it prevents your soul from fully shining. That’s why the prevention of abuse is so important, because when a child goes through abuse, neglect, or trauma, they put barrier up and never get to experience full pleasure in life. If we can protect children from that that’s a huge help towards happiness.
- My latest book, ‘Don’t Read This Book’ teaches children how to recognise the voice in your head that’s trying to get you to do the wrong things and use its tricks to bring you happiness in life. It took me many years to realise that that voice doesn’t want you to listen to it, it wants you to overcome it.
- We’re just here for a little while on this Earth to do the best with the souls that we were given. We have one job here: To experience gratitude. This world was made for our enjoyment, we’re here to enjoy all these blessings as much as we possibly can, but we’ve come so far out of the garden that we’ve forgotten what we’re here for.
- There’s an emptiness in all of us and the more we feel that emptiness, the more we try to fill it with external things but it just makes the hole get deeper and deeper. It’s not a physical hole it’s a spiritual hole that needs to be filled up with gratitude.
BEST MOMENTS‘We’re spiritual beings that need spiritual nourishment every day as much as we need physical nourishment.’
‘Life is but a blink, so leave a lasting impression.’
‘Any moment that we’re being grateful is a moment we’re not being miserable.’
‘I’m not really writing these books, I’m just taking dictation. I’m just a vessel, it really channels through me.’
ABOUT THE GUESTBracha Goetz is not your typical Harvard grad - she's the author of 42 picture books that help children grow spiritually, inspiring each uniquely beautiful soul to shine.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The body and the mind share all kinds of signals. If you’re having depressing feelings, if your sleep starts to be worse, if you’re super tired even when you’ve had a good rest, these are all signs. Burnout is dangerous and can take years to recover from, so it’s super important that you check in with yourself and ask if what you’re doing is sustainable. We’re not robots.
- Be intentional about the thing you’re creating as well as the life you’re living and how you want to feel in the process. It’s not just about building your business as big as possible, it’s about why do you want to build this business and how to do you want to feel during the journey. If you ask these questions to yourself constantly it’s really hard to derail.
BEST MOMENTS‘It was shameful to have to step away from the business for 5 months and be a nobody. People didn’t understand, it wasn’t common to have burnout and be open and vulnerable.’
‘In 3 years I experienced the things that most entrepreneurs usually experience in 10-20 years.’
‘In business no one is really going to save you but yourself.’
‘Co-founding a business is like being married, so it’s really important that you align on values.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I help people close the gap from where they are to where they want to be, and I do that by helping them codify their knowledge, experience and expertise into a signature programme so they can stand out – be outstanding.
- Most people have gone through experiences, they’ve had challenges, trouble, they’ve created errors or errors have been created for them and they survived through it. There are other people out of the 8 billion people in the world who are probably, right now, in the same direction, on the same path but not as far along. The people who have been there and done that can teach others who are just beginning on that journey.
- Being where you are is not as important as where you’re going. To be going someplace you’ve got to be learning. Think about what you like to do, want to do, and where you’re passionate, what would you not get bored with if you had to study in that area 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, then research it and become an expert in that topic/niche. You can learn just by watching YouTube or taking a course, you don’t have to spend a lot of money, begin where you are and go forward from there. Talk with friends and family, find a coach or mastermind group, there are free and low-cost groups out there, and just talk and work through it. Then find out how to make money with it.
- Some people are risk takers and some aren’t. To start your own business you have to take on a little bit of risk. You can mitigate that risk: If you’ve got a corporate job and you’re financially stable then you have a good base to start from, so start part-time, don’t leave your corporate job thinking your idea is going to catch on and that you’re going to replace your income, that’s very risky. Start part-time, get it going, find out where the kinks are refine your system. When it takes over and you’re making money and it’s going forward then it might be time to go full-time. But, it may also always remain a part-time activity.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Everyone is an expert in something.’
‘You’re always learning, and challenges are opportunities to learn.’
‘The world is always changing and you need to keep learning to keep up with it.’
‘Become the best at whatever you want to be, there are people who will pay money to learn from you.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you’re working in McDonalds you probably can’t say that job + savings = wealth. But, maybe that person is doing a different sum which can equal C. Why do we think it has to and can only be one outcome? What about different factors that can shortcut or supplement that result, like investments, inheritance, lottery wins?
- If you look at it logically with your mind, it can’t be anything other than 100% right. But, what if we use our imagination, creativity, and what if we created an alternate reality? One where a slightly different outcome to one where our mind is accustomed to determining exists. This is basically manifestation.
BEST MOMENTS‘If you don’t have people in your friends and family that you can consult with, that’s a rotten thing because those are the very people that we should be able to be open with, vulnerable with, and courageous with our thoughts, ideas and perspectives.’
‘A + B = C is natural. How do we become supernatural? By not signing up to the ideology, programming, conditioning of the mind.’

- The people who are just themselves without thinking or being float through life like a ballet dancer, with grace and style. Doesn’t that sound good? Wouldn’t we all like that?
BEST MOMENTS‘How often do you simply just honour yourself, honour your being? It’s a practice and something we need to practice much more frequently – almost daily.’
‘What do you do to honour yourself? Honour who you are?’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- For my cross channel swim I had to put on weight to protect from the cold. Whilst it was a necessity for the goal I wanted to achieve, it wasn’t a healthy one. I was back in the world of not caring about my body and making the right decisions, I was having double hamburgers and stuff like that. Ever since that swim challenge, I’ve found it tough to take weight off.
- My half-hearted desire is that I was on medication for hypertension and one of the side effects was that the chemicals were bloating me and blowing me up. I’ve had my medication changed recently and I don’t feel like that anymore, though there’s always the chance things could change in weeks or months.
- I don’t mean to judge people on their weight, but it happens when you look around and I’m trying to train myself out of it. But then I think, if that’s how my eyes recognise them, how do their eyes recognise me? Now there’s a body image issue. Because I have the awareness I have the ability to change it.
BEST MOMENTS‘It’s a lot easier to put weight on than take it off.’
‘We need a full heart to fulfil any desire.’
‘There’s eating for the sake of eating, eating out of habit, eating to fuel emotions – which is probably the number one thing that I do.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Less than two weeks ago a law firm in London was put into liquidation because two of the partners had syphoned money from a client’s account to the tune of £60 million. The staff that work there are now faced with a sense of insecurity by now not being able to provide for their loved ones or having the safety that job gave them. There’s no professional fulfilment because it turns out they were working for crooks.
- Time is the one thing we don’t get back. Time is the most valuable asset we have and there’s a lot of senior directors and executive board members out there I know that who want more time in their lives. One of the things I help people do is create time. However, if you allow for these instances to occur you leave yourself helpless.
- We all think that it’s a great thing that we have so much ability though the tip of our fingers through technology, but trust me, when it comes to running a company, if you’re new to this, make sure you have an accountant involved, make sure that they’re liable, make sure that they have insurance, and make sure that you have 2 factor authentication.
BEST MOMENTS‘If you are in any leadership position, regardless of if it’s just a directorship, the company structure, the ability, agility, adaptability that someone alone can have is frightening.’
‘It can seem like it’s arse-covering, and I think that’s why there’s a lack of enthusiasm and a sense of reluctance to use 2 factor authentication, but it’s there to benefit us all.’
‘It’s a checks and balances.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We’re having to postpone because there aren’t enough participants. Postponing isn’t such a bad thing, however about 4-6 weeks ago I decided to put everything in the bucket: Health, wealth, you name it. What happens when we throw it all on the bucket where 2 things can happen; they can sit there or they can overflow and get out. Flow is what we really want from this bucket.
- I’ve looked back at year and seen I’ve literally just thrown it all in the bucket. I had hope, belief and faith, I was manifesting. Sometimes when you manifest it comes, but not in the way that we thought, perceive, expect or anticipate. I’m not beginning to experience the tiredness that comes from throwing it all in the bucket. I’m literally exhausted. But the lessons I’ve learned are beautiful.
- Time isn’t the relevance, your actions and how you do it are. Just remember: Consistency over intensity always in order to build yourself up from a strong foundation and not let yourself fall below your own expectations. Little and often is steady and fast. If you put it all in the bucket it’s no better than a 50/50 outcome.
BEST MOMENTS‘A little bit often will get you further than a big bit once in a while across all things in life.’
‘Do we want 50/50s in our lives?’
‘Basically, do not put it all in the bucket.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Like many coaches I burned out really badly with stress while struggling to climb the corporate career ladder and I realised I was on the wrong path and needed to make some changes in my life – not just work but how I showed up in my own life and dealt with my circumstances. That brought me to coaching and wanting to help people change their lives for the better
- A problem with corporate burnout is that the middle management are all super stressed. What happens physiologically when we’re swimming around this stress cocktail for a long time is that we lose our capacity to think long-term and see the broader picture, we get into tunnel vision. I believe we have to find a big solution, because it’s a structural problem in our part of the world. The problem is here now, and we need to empower employees with individual practical strategies, so they know how to cope with their day-to-day stress. Stress is a circumstance that we need to deal with.
- We’re talking about stress as though it’s a disease and it’s not, it’s a natural response that we all have every single day. Stress in itself is not a problem as long as we have the capacity to process the stress response in our bodies. You may not be sick from stress, but you’re still affected by it and your performance is affected by stress long before it becomes a problem where you get the symptoms we think about when we think about stress. We need to change the narrative about what stress it.
- On an organisational level we need to talk about stress more as a preventative thing and including this talk into how we increase performance and teamwork so that it becomes a integrated part of how we talk about business. Maybe we shouldn’t use the term “stress” and instead use “well-being”, maybe that would make it easier to talk about in that way.
BEST MOMENTS‘You can’t outrun a negative pattern or something painful. It will always come back and with more intensity and scream louder until we have to listen.’
‘It’s about knowing ourselves, self-awareness, and understanding how is my own behaviour right now making me feel even more stressed, and how can I relate to the fact that I have a huge workload and organisational changes in a way that is more caring for myself?’
‘I believe most companies do want to reduce the levels of stress, but there’s not a ‘how’.’
‘I was totally in denial until I burned completely out with stress. That’s what happens; the more stressed you are the more counter-intuitive it is for you to slow down, that’s the tricky part.’
ABOUT THE GUESTRebekka Andresen: It is my joy and passion to support women in creating a life and career without burning themselves out like I did BIG TIME some years ago while climbing the corporate career ladder.
Today I’m a certified coach, building my 100% online business where I support women that are deeply committed to doing their best to create results and value for other people.
But despite doing well they never feel good enough or fulfilled.
Instead, they feel exhausted and trapped by their current circumstances...
They struggle to be present, and enjoy what they do because their minds are so busy going through endless mental to-do lists…
They often feel guilty for not doing enough and feel selfish if they even think about saying no or putting their needs before others.
I teach these women that putting themselves first and standing up for what they want does not make them selfish bitches...
It means they are embracing their own power, taking full ownership, and taking the freedom to create and live life on THEIR terms...
My mission is to inspire as many women as possible, It benefits not only the individual woman but also the people in her surroundings...

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I gave been in the people development space for about 26 years (all of my career). I began in corporate doing personal development and after 12-13 years I decided that there was more to life and around that time coaching was starting to emerge. Little did I know that I’d actually been doing it all that time, it just hadn’t been called coaching. I can tie in my purpose to it and support people.
- I don’t think you need to worry about finding a purpose. Just keep doing what lights you up and I think that’s your purpose. I also don’t think there’s one purpose, just like there’s not a job for life, you can have many purposes in one lifetime as long as you just keep following what gives you joy and lights you up in that moment you’re living your purpose.
- Listen to what makes you happy. Have a non-negotiable about walking the dog every day, doing a sport or hobby that you really enjoy, dating your partner, spending time with you kids. What that does is allows you to remember what it feels like to follow joy, feel good and not too busy in the moment or juggling too many balls. It’s about re-training yourself to look for what actually makes you happier and re-connecting with yourself.
- Most CEOs or managers I’ve worked with love people who are enthusiastic about heir work or are motivated. They want an organisation that’s full of people like that because they’re great to be around, they’re great for culture, they’re great for everything. Don’t let the assumption that “it’s not allowed” or the people around you dictate that, you get to behave how you want.
BEST MOMENTS‘It’s easier than we think to find our purpose.’
‘Once we feel better we stop doing the thing that made us feel better, we need to commit to the fact that we want to keep feeling better, why would we compromise on feeling great, positive, motivated and all that good stuff?’
‘Between home and work you are the common denominator: If you can do this at home you can do it at work. You need to set the intention.’
‘Celebrate every single piece of success, it doesn’t have to be huge: I sent that email today, I landed that new client, I made this much money today. Celebrate the heck out of them because it’s all about the journey not the result.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Barbara NixonI’m here to help ambitious Business Owners and Leaders, get out of their own way, and get the results that they really want in their business, and life.
Over the years I’ve had the absolute pleasure of working with thousands of people from business owners at the very start of their journey through to CEO’s and Managing Directors and everyone in between, and I know from experience that sometimes we can make things a lot harder than they need to be.
Whether this is getting super busy so it feels like everyday you’re running on a treadmill, to over thinking and second guessing there are loads of ways we can get in our own way.
But the thing is that it doesn’t have to be this way.
Your version of success is absolutely yours for the taking

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We, as human beings, are already connected spiritually and yet we have so much trouble making connections with other human beings. It fascinates me that we meet people at an event and we get awkward and we start interviewing them right away about what they do for a living for example. Our hearts and spirits are already all connected, all we have to do is remember we are and to connect casually, sensitively, softly, and then we can take it wherever we want.
- My 3 words are connection, collaboration, and community. At the start of a workshop I say it takes a village to raise a child, but do you know that it takes a community to grow a business? We’re not going to get very far trying it on our own. A lot of us have tried and we didn’t get very far. Community is a big moving force in today’s world. If an entrepreneur doesn’t understand the value of community I believe they will feel left out and isolated and fallen behind and stay in this loop, like in Groundhog Day.
- One of my clients was very good financially but had started a business that just wasn’t getting off the ground. I asked her why that is and why she was investing so much money into something that wasn’t bringing a return on investment? We looked at her other businesses and I realise she hadn’t activated this business, she was going by her own agenda and what she thought the world needs and how she wanted to be perceived in the wider market, her visibility, reputation and image. Is that what the clients need? SO I asked her to find 1 client and talk about their needs, then start doing this on e a 1-2-1 basis with 5 clients then come back and tell me what they need rather than starting with her. Within months she was making tons of money on a course and picked up many more clients.
- For me, getting to know your customer and their needs is all customer service is. Many times we transform the meaning into today’s meaning, which is looking good, having an imagine and the customers will come. They aren’t customers. They’re simply people that are curious, so what? It doesn’t mean that you’re going to convert them to a customer. Are you looking for more eyes on you or are you really looking to serves?
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s appalling to see these wonderful entrepreneurs doing the card game – exchanging business cards – and listening to some of the coaches tell them it takes 7-12 touch points before you make a connection or get a sale. Who’s got time for that these days?!’
‘It really depends on the level of connectivity you have with a human being as to what sort of relationship you will develop, and whether or not you make a sale is irrelevant to the relationship.’
‘When any one of us is stuck in a loop nothing happens, there’s no fizzling or sizzling happening around us and we wonder what’s keeping us stuck. It’s simply a pattern in our own mind that’s keeping us stuck because of some memory of something I couldn’t do or didn’t happen.’
‘My word for this year is: Activate.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Rosabelle Lokaisingh: For the last 20 years, I have been known as a Connector, teaching networking skills, and bringing people together with synergies, which is what led me to become the Matchmaker. Most of that time has been about building networks for professionals, entrepreneurs and communities so that everyone wins.
Being a Business Matchmaker is not much different from being a Relationship Matchmaker. Success is all about relationships. Who you know, who you need to know, and who you don’t know yet, but will need to know soon will all show up when you learn how to make the right connections at the right time and you leverage your network, as if you’re mining for gold.
And that’s where I come in…

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I did a shamanic journey and I followed my one of my power animals, the main one, which is a bear. I was running after it through the woods, came to a knoll and there was a Native American guy whose name was Running Bear (interestingly enough), and he told me to use the name Dancing Bear for myself and my company.
- The spirit world – whether that’s an aspect of you or to me it’s real but is anything real? – knows what to do and what to say to the client. They know what the client needs. I’ve done a lot of tarot readings, though I’ve stopped because people wanted me to give them answers, and the advantage of this over tarot readings is that you get very specific details and you see it, feel it, experience it, and in some cases (if part of their soul was taken by a trauma and you know who took it) sometimes you have to help the person who took it to heal in order to get the soul part back.
- Humanity’s energy has changed, the energy is shifting, everything is different, all those old energies including reiki are obsolete, their energy is wrong, I need a new energy system. Instantly I got it and it’s called divine source light, I created a web page divinesourcelight.com and on my podcast I show people how to use it. You don’t need empowerment for it, but if you want one there’s another episode of my podcast that will help you with that. The connection between humanity and the mind source is now very, very strong and can be used for everything including chakra balancing.
- I like to study people because everybody’s the same and everybody’s different – and I’m one of those people that’s really different. Less than 1% of the population is like me, that’s how different I am, and I’ve know it all my life that I didn’t fit in. I’m not a human design specialist or do the readings, but if you find out what your type of human design is it will help you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘More [power animals] will come to you in your life if you need help. But, when I’m doing healing it’s always a bear.’
‘I’ve noticed lately that I can look at someone’s nose and I can feel the type of [power] animal.’
‘Because I can’t do needling through the internet, I do essential oils and flower essences and show people how to rub it on acupuncture points.’
‘Space and time is fluid, and if you really understand that internally and you believe it, you can connect to the energy at the time the session was live.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about trying to keep the peace between two young brothers who wanted to play different games and how the conversation led to a conversation around manipulation and how this links into our perception of being rewarded.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- He was holding us hostage to play the game he wanted to play. By holding us hostage that’s manipulation, but he said: “You manipulate us all the time: Dad says if I don’t eat dinner I have to go to bed, or if I don’t do my homework I don’t get to eat my dinner, or if I don’t play nicely with my brother I don’t get to see my friends at the weekend.”
- On my journey to the local street music festival today I took a 15 minute scooter ride which cost me €6, I then had to walk up a hill which cost me some sweat and calories and I noted how I went to the gym this morning and that I shouldn’t be doing this walk right now and that therefore I should be rewarded for doing this walk. My mind was manipulating me. How long has this programme been playing out for?
BEST MOMENTS
‘My eyes see it [the open supermarket], thinks “I’ve done all this work, I must be rewarded”, either because when I was younger I held my parents/brothers/school teachers hostage or they held me hostage.’
‘I’m constantly learning, I’m not perfect, I share my journey as I go through my journey in different ways, like in these solo episodes of my podcast.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My mission for it is to spread decentralised philanthropy throughout the world (especially along this route) which provides the opportunity for people who have had that desire to give, or serve, or get involved in something that they care about but haven’t known what to give, how to give or what to get involved in. Along the route I’ll be interacting with different communities and groups and when I come across certain people or areas that need help, service, assistance, I can hop online and do a massive livestream crowdfunding project.
- I’m not really too concerned with the safety aspect. For this moment in my life this is part of my mission, my purpose, my assignment, it more or less came to me and inspired me and the more pieces and connecting the dots that I did the purpose for this walk really helped me realise that it’s a much bigger thing than me. I’m not naïve either, I know there are dangerous areas and a lot of contingency planning that will go into the planning, but I’m not as concerned with safety as I could be because I’m not really planning on dying I’m focussing on the adventure, the purpose and the end objectives.
- I see a transition about to take place and we have two choices. We can either let the rulers govern in the way that we perceive being able to experience life, or we can change the rules, step into who we were created to be and walk. For me, that’s taking ownership of my life and doing what I’m called to do rather than just thinking about what would be fun/nice/cool to do. This is why I’m here.
- The biggest challenge will be mentally staying in it. I can do a lot of things because the human mind and body is capable of a lot of really, sometimes, incomprehensible things. But the other side of the mind, the side that fights with you on things or you get caught up in your own thoughts, that’s probably going to be the most challenging part; staying in it, staying focussed, keeping moving forward, and just remembering why I’m there.
BEST MOMENTS‘The road I’m walking is about 14,000 miles from Cape Town in South Africa to Magadan in Russia. It’ll take about two years.’
‘If I could go tomorrow I totally would.’
‘My purpose is my why and my why is my purpose. Having a concrete foundation of this is what my life is meant for is a very propelling driving force for me moving forward.’
‘Start asking questions. When you start asking questions your mind comes up with answers. But, keep in mind that if you ask a question that is easy to answer, it’s probably the wrong question.’
ABOUT THE GUESTTravis Robbins: I absolutely love a good adventure story. I've always had a very active and vivid imagination, so when I was younger I imagined myself going on adventures all the time; still do.
I joined the Marines a couple years after high school and quickly realised it wasn't for me, so once my contract was up I was happy to move on.

I talk about looking at an old photograph of myself before swimming the English Channel and how healthy I looked and how after the swim made me feel less healthy and physically fit.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’d love to tell all of you that I look and feel healthy, but I don’t. Ever since I swam the English Channel the physical game has become a bit of a battle and it’s been sliding downhill: Injuries mounting, laziness increasing, maybe even living in past glories.
- I’ve been looking at things quite differently recently. I’ve been letting my hair grow, I’ve got a longer beard than I’ve ever had. I don’t see this as a bad thing or a dirty thing, the hair is quite unruly and has a mind of its own! I’ve been thinking about getting clean-shaven and cutting my hair so that I’m more in line with the person that I was, but the funny thing is that on the other side of that point, I could be that same person, just with a long beard and long curly hair.
- Why do I want to cut my hair and be clean shaven? It’s not because I think people will respect me more or look at me and think “he’s a good guy. It’s simply because I look at a representation of myself from the past and think “yeah, I want to align to be that person”.
BEST MOMENTS‘Looking at this photo jump started something in me, it made me feel something and now I’m inspired by it and committed to it.’
‘What is it that makes us think that if I do this action, I will be closer to that outcome? Is it grasping at straws? Is it desperation? Is it spontaneous action?’
‘To not be open minded means that you are not allowing something to flow in your life, there’s a dead end, a perception, a choice.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Esther Apoussidis, a holistic coach who focuses on, and explains what energy alignment is. You can donate to Gavin’s JustGiving page for The Ocean Cleanup by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3DRZefO
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most people function from their headspace – they’re very analytical, they overthink things, they’re in a crowded mind space, they find it difficult to get things done, they often reach burnout, which is an energetic imbalance. When we reconnect back to the heart centre (which is 5,000 times more powerful than the brain) it sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends signals to the heart.
- The energy alignment method that I use works in a way that uses the body sway to get feedback as to what’s going on with the energetic imbalance – what we often call resistance (block), whether that’s sabotage, patterns, old backgrounds or paradigms of thinking and believing, and dislodging those and bringing to the light what they really are: That they’re a hinderance. I then use a form of auto-suggestion/affirmation to align to empowerment energy and high frequency emotions.
- Because of your vibration in the energy field, literally you find that outside patterns change, people change their response to you, you find that situations become more benevolent and supportive of you, and it also provides you greater clarity and insight as you tap in more to your higher wisdom.
- Surrender is key, a faith that you’re on the right path. The universe supports you. When I’ve felt the desperation, the lack, and the needs, I tell myself the universe is abundant, I am part of this abundant universe, just look at the number of grains of sand on the seashore or the stars in the cosmos. We forget that we are part of the cosmos and there is an abundant environment. We’ve been led to believe it’s scarce because we’ve been mass-brainwashed/indoctrinated.
BEST MOMENTS‘The heart is actually at the source, or the centre, of our intuition.’
‘It’s very uplifting to see how it changes people.’
‘A lot of people don’t really understand who they are and why they’re here. Once you get clarity on who you are, why you’re here, and who you’re here to serve, it’s a game changer and helps to move your business forward.’
‘The heart knows, follow what you feel is right.’
ABOUT THE GUESTEsther Apoussidis is a reflexologist, a Zone Face Lift practitioner as well as an Energy Alignment Method Mentor.
“I’m a firm believer that when we embrace calm, positivity and self-compassion, regardless of what symptoms the body is showing us at any particular time, we can mitigate suffering, improve well-being and even facilitate a recovery. My therapies are very much geared to and in alignment with creating that calmness and upliftment that helps transform from within.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I could take two weeks off as a holiday, or I could change somebody’s life, I could do some good with the time. So, while I’m in Malaysia on a business trip, I’m going to extend my stay to see some people and I’m going to go to Bali to do a leadership retreat which I’ve been preparing for a couple of weeks.
- Last week I got a feeling that I wasn’t going in the right direction with it. And, rather than doing a big event like someone like Tony Robbins would do, we’re going to do a home-made version. It might come across a bit unprofessional if you’re a bit stiff or corporate, but it’s going to be genuine, authentic and will allow me to connect with the people that need it most, the people viewing it.
- A lot of people are saying “it’s never going to work, you’ve never done one, nobody knows you, you’re not a known name”, guess what; those people started somewhere and they were convinced that they offered value and that someone was going to buy what they were offering. I have the same feeling.
- If you allow negative people to imprint their negativity, their thoughts, their ideas, their strategies, their processes, or their stress onto you then that is how you will think. I am karate chopping left and right anyone that’s coming in with negativity, telling me I can’t.
BEST MOMENTS‘You manifest things sometimes and you don’t really know you’re doing it.’
‘What does the world need now? It needs better leadership across the board, in all areas.’
‘I’m not a global superstar… yet. I will be.’
‘I wonder what other parts of my life people are trying to imprint upon me ideas, beliefs, values, thoughts, considerations, processes, strategies? It’s opened up a whole kingdom for me to personally develop and excel in.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by high performance coach Majbrit Bottger to discuss what high performance means to her.You can donate to Gavin’s JustGiving page for The Ocean Cleanup by clicking here: https://bit.ly/3DRZefO
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most people when you say “high performance” they say: “Are you nuts? I have enough on my plate as it is, you don’t need to put any more on it”. That’s not what it’s about. The definition is to deliver or perform above standard norms consistently and successfully without compromising your health and relationships. The first part is easy, most people can do that, and those are the ones who burn out. But the last part most people forget and you need to stay in optimised health and close with your relations and keep making new and deeper relationships.
- How do you spend your time? Do you spend your time on the things that really matter? Do you spend time on things that move you forward? Are you stuck in a toxic environment with negative people or in negative self-belief? These things keep you from moving forward. It’s all about becoming the best version of you where you can deliver at a top level in business and in your personal life without feeling that you are spread so think you’re about to fall apart or without feeling guilty.
- When you feel guilty all the time (about not being with your family while you’re at work and vice versa) this is not a way to live because you just feel like you’re in survival mode and you’re caught in a hamster wheel. High performance is not about that, it’s about living fully and vibrantly with joy and happiness and gratefulness every day.
- Most of my clients come to me because they feel frustrated and they don’t know why or they’re feeling good but they know they have more inside and they don’t know how to get there and activate it. I wish they would come a little earlier, rather than burning out or their marriage about to crash, because the work for them wouldn’t be as hard.
BEST MOMENTS‘Like a stool you need to have a professional, a personal, and a social leg. If you remove one of them the stool is going to fall over.’
‘There’s always a next level, and if you ever go to find a coach, make sure that coach has a coach. You cannot be a good coach if you don’t have a coach.’
‘Nobody else can do it for you. If you want to win in life something new needs to get out of you. You can be inspired by something coming into your life but you need to generate it. Some people can do it alone, but most can’t, most need someone to guide them and tell them where to start.’
‘You are in control of your life, you should love getting up in the morning and when you go to bed at night you should say: “This was a great day”. Live for every day, not just for the weekends – there are more weekdays than weekends.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the problems he’s been having buying a new car in Spain and a hire car that has 6 gears and the change in driving style required to control the car which highlights that habits he’s fallen into over the years as well as how practice makes perfect and can lead to greater success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve been looking for a new car and I’ve been going out of my mind because, in Spain, you can agree with someone, shake their hand, think that you’re going to buy the car only for them never to show up. A few days later you get a message from them saying: “The car is sold”.
- Because I had friends coming over I hired a car, and it has 6 gears. On the motorways there are times when you need to slow down and I’m used to slowing down with the gears rather than always using the footbrake to save the brake pads. But, I couldn’t work out if the car was slowing down when moving from 6the to 5th, I just wasn’t comfortable with it, so I had to go from 6th to 4th.
- This happens to us probably 20 times a day in different areas of our lives, this sense of awareness that is the pathway to consciousness, to better outcomes, to greater success. All that is needed is for you to start practising your inquisitiveness, curiosity, and understanding.
BEST MOMENTS‘Every culture is unique and has their ups and downs, positives and negatives.’
‘If you ever wanted an example of our conditioning, our subconscious programming, here is an example of the highest quality.’
‘Practice makes perfect. Nobody ever achieved anything incredible without some sort of practice.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- To live at Godspeed you need to live an inspired life with steps given to you directly from God. This is a concept that a lot of people have a hard time believing in, but when someone starts to take the steps and actually walking with God on a daily basis and asking God for inspiration and coaching on their business, their body, and their relationships, they actually start getting revelation, those coaching pieces from God and their lives will never be the same.
- I’ve always been a businessman and have always been successful. It started with my mowing the lawn at 13 years old at my house in Ohio which my Dad would pay me for. I noticed I liked cutting the grass, so I went and cut my neighbours’ lawns and I expanded my territory until I started Dan The Man’s Lawn Service which operated all in cash, the IRS is probably still looking for me! In 2006-7 I was making hundreds of thousands of dollars a month through my mortgage company. All of a sudden in March 2008 the faucet was turned off when the market shifted an turned upside down. It was painful, I had to file bankruptcy, I lost my house, my wife and kids, my cars, I then got evicted from my rental because I couldn’t pay the rent. I moved back in with my Dad for 2 years and turned to drinking.
- On 7th July 2010 I walk to the liquor cabinet, but I passed it and walked into the back yard and had a conversation with God. It was the most frightening and exciting thing I’ve ever experienced. I heard a voice saying: “Son, you’re done drinking, don’t drink ever again”. I looked around for my Dad, but it wasn’t his voice. I kept hearing the voice and I realised it wasn’t from me, it was from something bigger than me. I’d been trying to give up drinking for years with no success, but the voice was both booming and calming and there was certainty with it, so I listened and as a result lots of things have happened in my life and it’s been pretty remarkable since then.
- I got back into the mortgage business again but this time I was sober and connected to God. I wasn’t walking with Him every day, but I’d get little hints or ideas that weren’t from me. I took on that stuff and created a business that was 5-10 times better than the one before. I started feeling myself selling myself into feeling good, I asked God why I felt like this and His voice entered my mind again and it was one of the most important conversations I’ve ever had. He said: “You’re done doing mortgages, get out of the business, don’t closed mortgages ever again.” I started pacing the office wondering how I’d get out, I was leveraged. He said: “You’re built for way more than being a mortgage guy helping just one family at a time.” Then every client started saying no to me, which never happened. He then told me to delete my database, what?! But I did and then I started walking with God the next morning and asking him questions, the more I asked the more information He gave me and I built up a connection. I did all the stuff He told me to and everyone won.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I walk with God every single day… once you give it a shot you won’t believe what happens.’
‘If you’re religious that’s great, if you’re not religious that’s great. This has no rules, this is just an opportunity for you walk directly with the creator and ask for revelation, for coaching and you can get those directly.’
‘I always believed in God and I went to church from time to time but I wasn’t very religious.’
‘The God Walk app is an app that actively shows you how to channel God, His revelation and His voice.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Recently I’ve been walking places, to the gym, into the city, along the beach, up in the hills for a short hike, and there isn’t one place I’ve been where I haven’t seen man’s waste: Cans of beer, bottles of pop, wrappers of cookies, diapers, bottle tops, the list goes on and on and on.
- This disturbs me because when I grew up there may have been the odd bit of litter, but litter now has become 20-, 30-, 40-fold. As much as our community services are trying to help to keep our communities clean, they are simply unable to satisfy the demand.
- Awe need to bring this to the people’s attention, not demand it but inspire change. Change our habits, change the products that we buy. Ultimately, if we don’t change things then nothing is ever going to change. Is that what you want? Vote on the post for this episode.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I had a vision just yesterday; if it’s been 20-30 years since it was just a few wrappers or the occasional bottle to now being bottles and wrappers everywhere, what will be the case in 20-30 years’ time? Will we be wading through the streets?’
‘Why is that where we’re heading? Because people are so accepting of the current wasteland that we have created. Who wants to live in wasteland?’
‘We’re going to need a group of people stand up and let their dissatisfaction be known. If we don’t do that it’s unlikely things will change.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We often forget that we’re not limited to a box, a category, our education, our experience, the crazy and amazing stuff that’s happened to us. There’s so many other options, infinite possibilities, infinite options, infinite connections, there’s so much in the infinite space that we forget. Within that space I want people to remember that when they say “my mind” they’re relating to the embodiment of infinite energy.
- Through infinite energy we’re boosting the power of the conscious mind but also your awareness of your subconscious. Within the subconscious the unconscious parts of your subconscious, and then tapping into the infinite universal energy which is when you tap into the super-consciousness. That is where possibility is, and healing, and tapping into magical manifesting comes in.
- The minute you begin to connect to yourself you’ve automatically created a channel between the higher consciousness, your conscious awareness and your subconscious. All of that is literally going back to yourself, connecting with your higher self, your soul, the inner voice, all that’s suppressed and repressed, memories and sitting in the question and openness.
- Once you connect to your higher self it anchors you into your next step, it anchors you into understanding what is your capability of your mind, body, soul, energy and creating a beautiful life for yourself.
BEST MOMENTS‘Infinite energy can’t ever be fully described because it’s infinite.’
‘There is so much beyond what I know and what I’ve been exposed to, how do I bring that into my life? This is where infinite energy begins to scratch the surface.’
‘A beautiful life is just understanding the frequency of joy, and joy is happiness.’
‘It’s not an easy process, you have to form a relationship with your soul, drop layer on layer of belief system, of limiting thoughts, of all the insults you’ve picked up over the years, all the layers of compensation and defence mechanisms, then you step into the soul role and you begin to fly.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- So many of us are so accustomed, attached, instinctively leading without mind. When we lead with our mind we lead with conditioning and subconscious programming. That’s where we get stuck. So much energy is reduced when we don’t lead from our heart’s space.
- When you look at who you were as a child, a teenager, and now as an adult and see who you wanted to be, that’s a question for the heart. I guarantee that you would come from a different space and energy and to a different outcome. Why? Because the energy is different.
- Some of the best decisions that we make are from the most uncomfortable of places. When you lead with heart you drop expectation and attachment to the outcome and those are great things to let go of because they welcome flow. Let it go and just flow.
- We’re so determined to control things: our lives, events, direction but we actually can’t control anything. The moment we let go of that idea and the moment we let things flow and lead with heart, I promise you, you will see big, big changes.
BEST MOMENTS‘When it comes to decision making, if we make decisions from the heart they can’t be wrong.’
‘If you want different outcomes you have to make different decisions.’
‘Whatever it is you’re feeling today that you feel you could do better at or want to change, look at the two decisions: From the logical mind and from the heart space. Sometimes they might tie up, but more often than not they don’t. Explore that heart space.’
‘It’s so easy to get carried away in the rush… but from all the things I’ve done and studied, making a decision from the heart might not always get you where you want to get immediately – there are no shortcuts in life – but it’s going to take you in the direction that you seek and at the speed that you desire.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It’s a journey of pain and struggle that has created this brand. I had a hard childhood because of a dysfunctional relationship with my dad, I never felt loved or acknowledged. I thought there was something wrong with me because I couldn’t live up to his standards. Hungary has a really harsh school system where they want you to achieve 100%, which confirmed that I wasn’t good enough. But I went to play basketball and my team became national champions when I was 12. I took up marathons, but nothing impressed my dad. Eventually I moved to Ireland and got into banking, but saw the burnout on the people working there, so I travelled the world trying to find answers about me and speaking with spiritual gurus.
- 5 years ago, my life crumbled after losing my wife and family. That brought me to my knees, but I found a mindset specialist who was able to unlock my potential. Ever since I’ve been helping others (business leaders) to thrive and get what they want in life. I now have a voice.
- What are you avoiding the most? That’s a breakthrough right there. The mind has a tendency to avoid things it can’t deal with and that leads to addictions: working hard, substances, TV just to resolve it in some way. Left to its own devices the mind is only the effect of the programming. It’s a computer that is mostly not run efficiently or with updates.
- If you commit, and that’s the only thing you have to do, to make a commitment to take the journey and actually seek help, because you won’t be able to do this alone. You’ll wish you could with seminars and books, but unless it’s zeroed in on your specific limitations you might end up spending $150,000 like I did going to seminars, telling yourself you’re working on it, walking on fire, snapping arrows with your neck, but the underlying pattern is not going to shift. Your mind is wired to avoid it, when it gets uncomfortable and negative emotions are coming up, the mind is wired to go to a safe space to resolve it. Your mind is against you and will trick you in hundreds of ways to create a story that you are working on and really elevating your life. It all comes down to commitment.
BEST MOMENTS‘I was always looking for every possible reason for why I wasn’t having happiness or satisfaction.’
‘10/10 commitment is a must for making change happen fast.’
‘Standing out from the crowd really makes a difference… it’s all about the energy the person has and unlocking that life force.’
‘It does not need to take 34 years that it took me, there are shortcuts. Probably it’s a 6-12 month journey.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A lot of us are stuck in a mindset that when something appears it’s happening to you not for you, or “why is it happening to me? It shouldn’t be happening to me. Why am I the only one feeling like this?” You’re not the only one feeling like this.
- So many people have resistance and blocks that they can’t see beyond. It’s not seeing beyond that will take you beyond, you need to take action and create a strategy or plan, create progress in the right direction to see flowers everywhere. You need to seek help, find a teacher, find a way in which – when you do get those flowers – you will be able to nurture them and look after them.
- One of the greatest hurdles that we go through is having the awareness to change our perception and belief systems. Do you want change? Do you want different things? Do you want a better life? If so, we have to create change.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When you look for flowers you find flowers, when you look for solace you find solace. Life isn’t always what you seek. Life gifts you what you need at the time.’
‘We really can determine how our life will be.’
‘Consciousness is all about you, your mindset, and ability to change the programming and conditioning that we have subscribed to.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A soul mentor is somebody who helps people understand the language of their soul and how to live a life led by that part of us that really wants us to evolve and has our best interests at heart.
- As humans we have so much noise going on, here’s always something distracting us, calling for our attention, there’s constantly an inner narrative going on round and round telling us how to behave, how to show up, what we should and shouldn’t be doing, what we could be doing, what our parents and society told us. That’s often a louder voice for most of us and a driving factor. Yet, we all have this other part of us (a voice or feeling) that sits behind it and is there to encourage, motivate, and push us outside of our comfort zone that we often find ourselves in.
- I started my working life selling cars in a high-end showroom which had its own experiences and opportunities, and I had fun and learned a lot. It certainly ticked some of the boxes of what I “should” be doing in my life. For me, the job wasn’t all about getting the sale, it was the human-to-human contact. I was asked in training once: “If you weren’t in this job what would you be doing?” I said: “I help make people’s dreams come true.” What I do now is make people’s dreams come true, but in a very different way – helping them understand who they are.
- My grandma was a hypnotherapist, so that gave me a different understanding and curiosity about life. But, I was very grounded and wanted to know in a business sense, I prided myself on my intellect and wit, because I was told that was important, so I went down the route of coaching. It wasn’t until I learned reiki that things really started to change. I could feel an energy coming through my hands and it made me wonder that if I was so cynical towards lots of the esoteric things presented to me, what else have I missed out on. This started a deep dive into all things energetic: The law of attraction, karma, past-life work, energy, entanglement, shamanism, tarot cards, psychic reading, mediumship, angelology, I trained in all of it. A couple of years ago I consolidated it all and did a diploma in spiritual counselling.
BEST MOMENTS‘How your soul speaks to you is always going to be a language you understand because this is your soul, it’s not something outside of you. Although sometimes it can feel like that because we’ve not listened to it for so long.’
"We are energetic beings here in physical form, science has definitely proved that now, we’re more space than we are physical. There are different ways to spend, exchange and receive energy and our intention is always the main driver of energy.’
‘If you can learn what is supportive for you, and what is and what is draining your energy, then you can start to make better decisions and you can start to create better intentions around things.’
‘When we see things from other people’s viewpoints we’re stepping into their energy and giving them a bit of ours which gives them a boost.’
ABOUT THE GUESTMelissa Amos: I started off just like you. Unsure, going about my day-to-day life in the standard eat, work, sleep cycle, until a series of mystical and magical coincidences started knocking at my door.
Fast forward a few years – a few energy upgrades, a few life-changing workshops, a few eye opening moments, and a whole tonne of inner work, when I find myself here, with a heap of tools and a beautiful ability to connect with your Soul, your guidance team and tap into your timelines!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- After a weekend of late nights, staying up beyond my years, I went to salsa class with a lady. We danced together, not brilliantly, and at the end of the class I told her my brain was gibberish and my body was jelly. She wasn’t too accepting of it. I went home in the heat, which takes it out of you. When I got home I had trouble sleeping and didn’t get to sleep until 2 or 3am.
- The next morning I had to give a massage to a client/patient but I don’t think I did a very good job. I could have done better with more sleep. Then, my ego started playing with me and act up because my mind was tired. It was saying: “Why did you leave last night? You should have stayed on dancing with that girl. You should have danced with other girls and created opportunities. Why did you go in the first place, you know that you were so tired you were always going to make a fool of yourself.” This is not a good thing to be listening to
- When I go out into the world for a period of 4 or 5 days, would I like to be seen and known as ‘fun Gav’, a little bit inebriated? Of course I would. Who wouldn’t? But then the days that follow, the lack of neural efficiency, compatibility, the physiology, how your body feels. Did I want to get out of bed this morning? Hell no! Are you actions the right ones for the outcome you want?
BEST MOMENTS
‘When you do not sleep well your emotional vibration changes, your confidence pattern changes, your decision making ability changes, the way your body is able to process nutrients, vitamins and hydration is different.’
‘Make no mistake about it. Sleep is one of the most important actions in our lives that we can take: Regenerative, rejuvenative, restorative.’
‘It’s the quality of sleep that matters.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A lot of people, whether they’re entrepreneurs or they’re behind a cause, or running a nonprofit, whatever they have a passion for, they sometimes shy away from being visible because of the level of confidence they have about their message, how much impact they can make with that message, or a combination of the two. Sometimes they’re just lacking the strategy and don’t know how to get out in front of more people. Other people are visible but they aren’t converting their views, followers, listeners into buying customers. I often bring people back to their foundations of why they’re in their business, what is the main impact they want to make, and what kind of person they want to help. Understanding why and the basics is often something that we lose when we become multi-passionate.
- A lot of people chase numbers thinking that if they do that they’re more likely to get results. Have in mind that you want to stand out, have something that’s valuable to your target audience, give them a taste (lead magnets, freebees, free events) so they know what it’s like to work with you.
- People relate based on who you are. Showing them a little bit of your authentic self in addition to being known for one main thing about your business, that combination creates a memorable impression in people’s mind, so when the time comes for them to look for someone to help them with this or that they are going to remember you because you’ve established that connection on a level different than just being in the directory of their service provider. There’s something more real to it.
- I started with a video podcast/YouTube show which inspired the rest of my business. The reason I started that channel was because that’s how I was healing from traumas that I went through. I was literally turning to YouTube for every answer. The information I found, the people I connected with and followed, and then joining the groups behind these thought leaders really helped me get from a place of being stuck to inspiration and potential. Initially I was attracting guests on my show that were helping me heal, every interview was a little coaching session for me. As I was healing, I was attracting guests that were more about mindset, business, and positivity.
BEST MOMENTS‘Even if there’s no demand for your service, or people don’t resonate with your brand, at the moment, as long as they remember you one primary thing they will likely try to find you when that need arises.’
‘We have shiny object syndrome as entrepreneurs; we learn a new skill, we want to add it to our portfolio. It’s irrelevant: Pick something you want to be remembered for’
‘You’re the only you, so authenticity comes with that.’
‘As we transition out of the pandemic into more online business models we’re really underestimating the power of our about sections on our social media profiles that really replaced our business cards.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I believe my life is a continuous series of lessons and realisations as I go through it. I consider myself an everyday life philosopher because I do truly believe that everything that happens to you, if you add a little bit of introspection, is a vehicle for transformation.
- Academic education is about facts and knowledge, when it comes to personal growth and transformation your knowledge doesn’t change anything. You can know all you like but unless you change the way you see and perceive the world, your framework, all your knowledge won’t change anything, it’s knowledge plus experience that gives you the transformation. This is why I think every single day of my life has potential for growth.
- Being awesome is not just being awesome or loving yourself despite your flaws, I don’t even use the word awesome very much in the book. It’s about self-love and self-acceptance, but I venture to go deeper and to go beyond the idea that I’m flawed but I’m still good at encouraging people to see that it is exactly the things that they’re ashamed of or they shrink from that hold the most unique value for the world. It’s about finding strength in the things which you might think are your weaknesses.
- The one “dragon” that a lot of us have is perfectionism. I think this is not usually the scary one though, people usually use it as a “show-off” flaw: What’s your biggest flaw? I’m such a perfectionist! It’s a challenge to live with perfectionism but it’s not the dragon that we’re ashamed of. The dragon we’re ashamed of are usually a little more personal and intimate and create slightly more intense emotions. As a woman, one of the dragons I’ve had a hard time taming was the desire to be attractive no matter what. In a professional setting women are expected to tone down that side of them, which is hard to come to terms with.
BEST MOMENTS‘I hope my book is going to be an individual and personal journey for every single person who’s going to read it. A journey back to yourself is a very unique destination and I cannot know where it takes.’
‘Authenticity is binary, you’re either authentic or you’re not quite true to yourself. Honesty has degrees related to the rest of the world, but it’s binary with your relationship with yourself.’
‘Your relationship with the world is a reflection of your relationship with yourself. It’s easier to be more tolerant and patient with the world if you are tolerant and patient with yourself.’
‘People should stay true to themselves, what “staying outstanding” means to each and every person is up to each and every person to decide.’
ABOUT THE GUESTKristina Mänd-Lakhiani: As an entrepreneur, writer, speaker, philanthropist, and mother – I’ve been engaging in the personal transformation industry for over 19 years, collaborating and playing with leading thinkers and teachers in consciousness, relationships, human performance, and life optimisation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- At some point during the game this girl made a serve and it was just awful. It became apparent to me that she had never been taught how to serve. My team decided that was a point and it was our turn to serve, but I thought: What sportsman, what person, wants to take a point from someone that doesn’t have the ability, that is trying to learn?
- We give her the ball back and four or five times she re-takes the serves and each time the technique is non-existent. More out of luck than anything, on serve six she hits the ball over the net and makes a fantastic serve and everybody cheers her. The smile on her face was like the Cheshire Cat.
- It doesn’t matter how good or how bad you are at something, by demonstrating to somebody that you are willing to give them a second chance you are showing that you have patience, tolerance, kindness in your heart, forgiveness, encouragement. Giving someone a second chance isn’t about winning, it’s about encouraging others to better results, and when you do that, surely you’ll find your own results become better.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you don’t encourage that person to learn and enjoy the sport, it’s more likely than not, after a period of time, that they will give up and go about life not liking beach volleyball.’
‘Even the good people started not getting their first serves in and people began to chant and shout “one more, one more” in Spanish. They followed on from my lead.’
‘Why not give somebody a second chance?’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Avadhi Dhruv to talk about his career as a spiritual business coach and how those two things intersect.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve seen people who are heart-centred and really passionate about making a positive impact in the world but not able to necessarily implement that in a sustainable way. Then I’ve seen the business world where there’s competition and people feel like they have to cut each other to win and it’s all about revue, sales and marketing to make more money, and a lot of times it’s at the cost of the person’s health or the world’s health. Bringing spirituality and business together is best for both worlds.
- A lot of people think that they are tired of their job and if they could just become their own boss that somehow their problems would be solved and they’d have more freedom and more of a say in how they go through their day and live their life. This is true, but what they don’t realise is that before they can learn to balance their lifestyle in a way that is really sustainable for them, they fall into this trap of not putting the right structures in place and fall into burnout. Often a lot of entrepreneurs quit at that point because they don’t know how to sustain themselves in a healthy way.
- A lot of burnout comes from having a lack of clarity, confusion and overwhelm for an extended period of time. It causes chronic stress that leads to burnout, health issues, relationship issues, or financial issues. To bring clarity you must invest in yourself and understand that entrepreneurs/business leaders/executives are the biggest asset in their business/career that they need to take care of.
- Scarcity and lack can cripple a person and their mind in a very big way. When someone is in scarcity and lack sometimes it’s a blessing in disguise in a way, because it does sometimes take you to hit a really low point in order to prepare you to commit to something bigger than yourself that you’ve never done before. Hitting rock bottom isn’t a bad thing in the long run if the person chooses to make that a bouncing point. Choosing to stay there and keep struggling can be really painful , but can turn into a mindset and a habit that keeps people in a trap.
BEST MOMENTS‘Burnout is a big problem in today’s world. In a nutshell, we can solve it by turning the perspective from outward to inward, which is why I bring the spirituality angle to the business world which is very focussed on outer world results.’
‘I help my clients to take a look at the inner world aspects to create more balance and harmony from the inside out so they can achieve and enjoy the results in the outer world that they are bound to receive once they are in harmony and alignment.’
‘Surround yourself with a support system of like-minded people through masterminds/groups. Investing in yourself can help bring clarity and confidence, and truly cure that burnout problem from the root.’
Ask yourself: “Am I willing to accept mediocrity for the rest of my life, and am I OK with that? Or, am I willing to commit to the greatness within me at a level that I’ve never done before?” Truly listen to what your answer is from within and reach out for help, start reading books, listening to podcasts, etc.’
ABOUT THE GUESTAvadhi Dhruv: I’m a spiritual business coach and author who helps entrepreneurs and business leaders reconnect with their own magnificence.
As a spiritual business coach, I am passionate about helping entrepreneurs realise their “why” - their purpose for being in business. I help heart-centred entrepreneurs who are longing for sustainable business income, create a personalised strategy for unlimited growth in their business and freedom in lifestyle without burnout.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Just because things aren’t always easy it doesn’t mean that we should not accept them or not want them. It doesn’t mean that it’s a bad thing to experience this. Why? Because this is the human experience. We are souls in mind and body. So, for us to simply say “as a soul, I don’t wish to experience what the mind and body does” is a practical impossibility because whether you like it or not you’re in this mind and body
- A lot of spiritual people will tell you to always be positive and affirm. Don’t cry about your pet dying, they had a great life with you, you shared great memories with them, they’re not in pet heaven and they’re no longer in pain. To me this is absolute nonsense. You should feel those emotions, a sense of loss, why shouldn’t you?
- I was asked recently on a podcast: What would I tell my 10-year-old self? My answer was to learn to direct my emotions. If you allow your emotions to lead you allow your ego to control. That’s not the best or the most conducive path to living as progressive life. One of the best ways to control emotions is to welcome them when they’re coming, accept them, express them , and let them go.
BEST MOMENTS‘In today’s world of spirituality and spiritual sales, a lot of people do not know what spirituality is, or they are merely suggesting it so that it enables their sales.’
‘We really must wake up to the fact that things are not perfect.’
‘Do not feel shame or guilt in experiencing human emotions. These are things that we really need to do because then we don’t carry them forward with us, we release them and let go.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A truth seeker is someone who finds freedom from within to be who they are authentically, to be their true self. There’s many different teachings, religions, philosophies, and theories about life and the universe and about being ourselves as humans. For me, the truth is about walking my own path, following my own path in order to figure out that truth and that’s the path of a truth seeker for me.
- I’m a nomad, living a free zen lifestyle, travelling everywhere to be wherever I want. This lifestyle has taught me a lot about myself, not just the freedom it’s given me but all the challenges that I had to go through and the lessons I had to learn from it to know who I am. It’s like building muscles but for your courage by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.
- I had to overcome my fear of shame, failure and anxiety. The first stage I had to go through was to embark on a completely different lifestyle. It felt like being on the ground floor and having to deconstruct and reconstruct myself again and it was really difficult. I also had to overcome the fear of loneliness. Living the zen lifestyle, I often stay in remote places and find myself in nature which has helped me be independent without relying on my friends to have company. But it also helped me to be in a relationship with other people authentically.
- I left my corporate life in the US with a background in engineering and decided not to go back to that lifestyle in order to do something I’m passionate about, which is travelling. Asian families have really high expectations for their children and I’d achieved the degrees and had got the career, but then I lost it. I was afraid to go back to Vietnam having ‘failed’ and spent so much money to do so, so I stayed in the US for as long as I could before I was living there illegally.
BEST MOMENTS‘You can learn from other people, but you don’t necessarily have to follow their exact footprint or path to find your truth because your truth is unique to you, you decide what is true and what is not.’
‘If I can make my tiny space like home then I can feel at home anywhere. Home is really within yourself, it’s not outside of you.’
‘Following your heart is the compass that will guide you home within yourself.’
‘The key for me to make progress is making little changes, 1% at a time so I don’t get overwhelmed and shut down, because then I’ll quit and I’m not moving forward.’
ABOUT THE GUESTVi Vi Thai is a writer, truth seeker, healer and fearlessly determined to live a free lifestyle regardless of others’ opinions.
She uncovered her true life’s purpose after going through a dramatic and stressful time at the end of her stay in the US. During that time, she achieved a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering at Texas A & M University and a Masters of Biomedical Engineering from Cornell University. At the end of 2017, she started a new life in Canada as a new immigrant, where she embarked on a one-of-a-kind van life adventure.
Living her life purpose, Vi helps others to find their path of freedom to live their authentic selves because only then can we all be living a fulfilled life of happiness. She believes that, as we find our own inner freedom, that is when the world can be free and liberate itself to evolve to a better place in the cosmos.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Her friend used ChatGPT to take an exam and surprise, lo and behold, he failed. People are using these things for all sorts, and some things they work on and some they don’t. Sooner or later we’ll work it out, but in the meantime things are happening.
- From an NLP perspective you can ask it to write ‘in the tone of’, but you can’t ask it to write in the tone of Gav Scott because it doesn’t know my tone. Maybe one day it will? It’s left me concerned that the next generation is getting lazy. What we need is an educated society. I believe the institutional education system is broken.
- A friend told me that ChatGTP was asked to create a code for a financial model, which I’m sure is happening all over the world. But on this occasion they created a deep fake image of a politician and there was an explosion outside of the Pentagon which brought the US stock market down 3%. Was this deliberately done for financial gain?
BEST MOMENTS‘I’m not perplexed that these people used chat modelling as a shortcut, I’m perplexed that they were willing to rely upon it.’
‘There’s no authenticity if AI comes in.’
‘Education is one of the most important things.’
‘I’m not sure we can be trusted with such powerful tools.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The quality of a leader’s thinking is paramount because it will dictate how they see the world, and the actions and results that they get. Leaders can have the greatest strategy, but they can be hijacked by their thinking. Over the last couple of years I’ve been looking at how our survival instinct can play out way more than we believe and are conscious of.
- Survival thinking can impact in five ways: 1. You can think you’ve got imposter syndrome which can definitely trip leaders up when they step into a more senior position. 2. The challenges of defensive mindset, where leaders aren’t great if there’s a mistake made or they get negative feedback. 3. The challenges of ego and the need to protect self, which can be damaging to the leader themselves, but certainly damaging for the people around them. 4. Negative self-talk, often a lot of the thoughts we’re constantly having aren’t productive if they’re doubtful or negative. 5. Tribal behaviour, which can manifest in a number of ways including an ‘us and them’ mentality between managers and workers, or blame culture in different parts of an organisation, or you can get breakaway tribes where people that are potentially toxic can start to influence other people.
- Get a better grip and understand the way that you think and your ability to have greater control over that. That’s been the greatest life lesson for me: that ability, as a human being, to raise your level of consciousness above your thinking to be able to disconnect from your thinking and be able to make better choices with your thinking.
- A lot of our psyche is set up to make us feel not good enough. A lot of that originates from survival thinking because we are continually tracking and monitoring for things that can go wrong and we look internally at where we’re weak, vulnerable, and flawed. That leads the majority of people to spend too much time in that place where they’re not good enough – as an employee, business owner, leader, parent, husband, wife – and a lot of people under the surface are battling with that. You need to get to a place of self-love or where you feel good enough as a human being and contentment with yourself
BEST MOMENTS‘Open your eyes to all the possibilities in front of you and don’t be uncomfortable making some mistakes and failing.’
‘If you’re having thoughts or behaving in ways that make you unhappy, why would you choose to do that? There isn't a clear choice going on there, you’re either making poor choices or you’re reacting in an unconscious way to what’s going on.’
‘People can get way too focussed on results and material success at the expense of the more important things that are the bigger things, in my opinion.’
‘A lot of our thinking is past- or future-focussed, and we spend a very small amount of our time actually being in the moment.’
ABOUT THE GUESTTony Brooks is an Inspirational Speaker, Leadership Psychologist, Coach, Author and Psychology Academic with a proven track record in delivering strong results for leaders, businesses and organisations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Muscle doesn’t float, so for my cross-channel swim attempt I put on 20 kilos of fat and I went to extraordinary lengths to do so : double/triple meals in the evening, double/triple patty burgers, not being able to eat but pushing it down. I cam out of the experience thinking that the best way to deal with it was a quick fix: do intermittent fasting for three months, a juice detox for a month, do certain things at the gym. Very quickly I began to realise that this wasn’t the right way, that I had to do it consistently and slowly.
- At the moment I’m at the gym five times a week, largely to do with rehab for the tendon in my shoulder from the swimming. I do wonder what would happen if I wasn’t rehabbing, would I relax out of the gym and go swimming full-time? When I do go back to swimming it’s got to be 65% swim and 35% rehab in the gym.
- Once you have the awareness that there is something that you’d like to do, something in your life that you’d like to change, it doesn’t matter what it is: the way you look, the amount of money you earn, the type of person you date, whatever it is. Once you have the awareness you can change the strategy, the action, the language, and you get different results.
- Instead of looking in the mirror and having that judgement against self, whatever that judgement is, if you change that and instead say to yourself: “I am loving this journey, I am one remarkable human being, I share my value with the world, and my greatest gift is to myself.”
BEST MOMENTS
‘In the fitness world there’s a phrase: Consistency over intensity. I’m more of an intensity over consistency guy. This is something I’m correcting on my journey.’
‘I haven’t always struggled with weight but I’ve gone through phases, 5-10 years where I was overweight, 5-10 years where I was at a good weight. People always, always – it’s a human thing – judge.’
‘There’s no substitute for a strong foundation.’
‘If we take judgement upon ourself, how can we expect others not to take judgement upon us? We have to release, remove that shame, that anger, that frustration, that guilt, and love, simply love ourselves for who we are now.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Mindset allows you to control all of your thoughts and the direction of your actions. Because it’s something I’m so practised in I had nothing else to think about which is why I looked so calm. All the questions that could come into my mind at the point of jumping off the boat, like am I warm enough, is it going to be cold, they didn’t even enter my mind.
- The first hour went really quickly, but there were moments I didn’t feel like I was going anywhere. Towards the end of the hour my shoulder started to suggest that it might be something more than just a scratch. I couldn’t see much of the boat, especially for the first four hours in the dark, because half your face is always in the water and half the time you’re facing the other way.
- After 4 or 5 hours of swimming alone and facing my own demons and challenges on m y own. Then you jumped in and because we’d swum together in training all of a sudden I left the timing and speed up to you, I was released of a burden. We breathe on opposite sides so we were looking at each other while we were breathing and smiling at each other. But once you got back on the boat after your stint, you got in your chair, had a cup of coffee and a biscuit and under layers with a hat on and you fell asleep. I thought: You bastard, how could you do that to me?!
- I didn’t feel cold at any stage until I lost the use of one arm. I wasn’t going to let anything stop me from making that swim, but I got to a point where my arm just wouldn’t rotate and I then started going 25% of my speed and I began to cool down and get cold. The crew ran to the side of the boat, which was a concern because they don’t do that for no reason. We had 6 miles left and they said it would take about 6 hours, but with the tide changing, 9 and adding another couple because of the speed I was going. I could have been my old, immature, brash, childish self and carry on but at this stage it was obvious that I was going to encounter symptoms of hyperthermia within 6 hours, it didn’t matter how strong or determined I was, the body wasn’t going to be able to fight that off and I didn’t want to put anyone else at risk. I was very proud to make the mature decision to retire due to injury and live to fight another day.
BEST MOMENTS‘My mindset was: Get in. Start Swimming. Don’t stop ‘til I hit land.’
‘When the idea came up about the depth below me I thought, that’s a fascinating idea, it’s quite childish, let’s grow up, and I pushed the thought to one side and didn’t think about it again.’
‘Success at the highest level of professionalism is so acute, you can change it by a millimetre and lose or you can change it by a millimetre and succeed.’
‘The day was a success, I don’t really have any regret, frustration or resentment. The only thing I’ve got is the burning desire to build bigger, better, stronger to successfully, in a single attempt make it to the beach in France.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I had a pretty normal, angsty relationship with my dad for the first 20-something years, we had tough roads to haul through, but in the past 32 years we’ve had a breakthrough. He passed away recently, but we had 20 years where we were really honest and vulnerable which was hard for him because of his upbringing. We buried our stuff and had 20 good years.
- As children were never really taught to have empathy for anybody let alone our parents. When I recognised that it was difficult for my dad to be honest, affectionate and vulnerable because of his upbringing but I also recognised changes in him in the last 5 years of looking after his mother – who was not a nice person – where he became her best friend, I think it gave him the OK to share and be vulnerable.
- I’m very passionate about community. The biggest thing about community is that people should feel like they belong. For people to feel like they belong they have to be accepted from where they’re at, not from where you want or expect them to be. My goal is to always meet people where they’re at, try to find myself in that and work through that space to build relationships.
- Now we don’t have barriers and boundaries that keep us from seeing people. I’ve facetimed with my dad from halfway round the world. It’s so simple and there are no excuses holding us back from the technical side of things. The question is do we want to do it for our own benefit and the benefit of others. Life is about choices, do you want to make the choice to go out there and build relationships?
BEST MOMENTS‘We have to make a choice every day whether to be empathetic to people.’
‘There’s not just two sides to every story, there can be four, five, or six sides, we just don’t know what other people are going through.’
"We need to be slow to be offended, if you make the attempt to contact someone and there’s no reciprocation you can’t get offended by that. Take people for when they can and want to engage.’
‘Train your brain into thinking the best of people rather than the worst.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Historically, my relationship with technology has meant that I have not been compatible, which is a bit of a problem in today’s world where we have to use technology all the time. I had all my podcasts on my hard drive which was getting slow, so I moved them to the G drive and deleted them from the laptop. When I opened the G drive, the files weren’t there. Luckily the files were in iCloud. I moved those files onto my G drive and now they’re not on the G drive or the cloud.
- For the last two weeks I’ve been really disciplined and stayed away from my television, laptop, and mobile phone. I got out some pastels and paper and started creating this piece of art. Whilst it might not be the most incredible piece of art you might ever see, it is a piece of art, it’s something I’ve created, and it’s something that has brought me a lot of joy and satisfaction. I’ve been happy.
- We really need to get in touch with who we genuinely are, not who we think we are or who society moulds us to be, but in our soul. The best way to do that is to get quiet, listen, understand, welcome, and appreciate.
BEST MOMENTS‘I may have lost a great deal of content.’
‘Any time I’ve connected with technology my brain has started melting.’
‘I’m in a renewed state. I’m more grateful for the technology, for its ability, for what it enables me to do.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I went through years of sexual trauma from my biological father, starting at the age of 8, then it stopped for a long time until I was 14, and I didn’t realise until I got older that I didn’t love myself, I was a people pleaser, I was always comparing myself to other people. I felt like I had no identity of my own, and it caused me to have a lot of bad relationships.
- When you come from sexual abuse you don’t know how to say “no” because you want to be obedient to this authority figure in your life. I became very promiscuous, would always say “yes, I’ll do it”, and didn’t know how to set sexual boundaries for myself or other people. Some people will get into alcohol, doing drugs, or start prostituting themselves, it all depends on that person’s mindset and what they want to do to numb the pain.
- I put a picture of myself as a little girl on my phone. Every time I made a decision I looked at that little girl and say: “Hey, is this good for her or not?” I was in a process of saving that 8-year-old little girl and that’s what helped me to set boundaries for myself. And it worked, I did it!
- I was in a marriage for 12 years and couldn’t understand why my husband kept cheating on me. It was excessive, he had three children with three different women outside of our marriage while we were married. I kept taking it but I was frustrated and I kept asking myself what was wrong with me and I’d blame myself. But, if I hadn’t been in that relationship I’d have never done therapy, which I did for 8 years and she helped my to understand that we were just two broken people in a relationship and that in order for me to understand myself, I had to go back to my childhood and deal with the sexual trauma and abuse and even having a child by my biological father. I’d suppressed so much and I had to re-learn a lot of things and the warped thinking I’d inherited from my father.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We were taught as children that “what goes on in my house stays in my house”, you didn’t talk about things like that and you didn’t hear other people talk about it.’
‘I can extend my hand and say “I’m not comfortable with a hug, but I will shake your hand” as opposed to me having to hug because that person wants to hug.’
‘It’s easy for you to forgive others, but it is so hard to forgive yourself.’
‘When you normalise abuse you don’t know what your triggers are. Once you begin your healing process then you’ll start to see what’s triggering you.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Latarsha Haughton: Founder of Breaking the Silence Healing the Pain, I endured decades of trauma – including sexual and emotional abuse. With the help of God, prayer, and trauma-informed therapy after 30 years, I broke my silence. Today, I’ve transformed that pain into purpose, and now I create community for other survivors.
My entrepreneurial work includes this transformational life coaching practice, guiding people as they release wounds and embrace their power. I also serve as CEO of an assisted living community in Baltimore, We Care First Assisted Living, LLC.
I currently sit on the board of directors at Women and Warriors on Route to Higher Heights Ministries (W.O.R.T.H.H.) and Journey to Joy Ministries, where I’ve received training in prayer ministry and abuse recovery. I hold an award for “Choosing to Live” from The Standing Still Alliance, an organization focused on domestic violence advocacy and awareness.
I believe that remaining committed to studying biblical principles and rooting my ministries in the compassionate love of Christ is the key to my success as a transformational life coach. I currently reside in Tampa, Florida with my husband and my son.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Why does happiness have to have conditions attached to it? Why can we not be unconditionally happy? When you create a sense of awareness around the things that you want to improve, tweak, and change – it doesn’t happen overnight, but with a sense of awareness, each time things will get heightened.
- I’ve always been an explorer, an addicted adventurer towards travel. I love to see new sights, smell new things, have new cultural exchanges, I just love travelling. Recently, I’ve looked back over the years and thought perhaps there were times where I wasn’t happy and I went travelling to fuel my happiness. I’d then come back and work and nothing really changed, I was still in the same state of happiness as before I went travelling. I was fuelling the dopamine hit of happiness by going off on adventures.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Forget every single thing that’s going on in your life and around you to be happy.’
‘We have to look at things to uncover and discover the growth gems and beautiful things that we couldn’t once see. We have to look back at things differently and how we acted then and in what circumstances.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When I was little I never knew who I was, I was always in the shadow of my sister and my parents. While I was writing my memoirs I processed a lot and it was very therapeutic. I went from flying an aeroplane to an air balloon. I was in the Air Force training new recruits in boot camp for five years and eight years in the Navy where I helped train Marines, so there were a lot of experiences there.
- Depression runs in my family. I got made bankrupt because I wasn’t looking after my finances. I lost everything, didn’t have any money left, I had no job and no way to pay the rent, and I considered suicide at one point. But, apparently I’m meant to be here for some reason and now I help other people, answering questions on Quora and teaching stress classes to the senior citizens in my senior community as well as volunteering.
- To beat stress is easy: Just take a few deep, slow breaths with your eyes closed and concentrate on everything around you. As you inhale and experience all the love that is around you and coming into you, when you exhale you give that love back to the world and the cosmos. It’s easy to do and you can do that any time, anywhere.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I was born with a pencil in my hand, I write stories, I design cartoons, a whole bunch of stuff.’
‘I wanted to prove myself to my mother, when I was younger I kept having to move in and out of her house. I wanted to get out and support myself.’
‘I like to be left alone to create, that’s not to say I don’t like an audience, but I can be by myself and entertain myself and do what I like doing.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In the most integral part of our society there is planted this seed of doubt and it is endemic. The seed of doubt arises so often. You could be building a relationship with someone (personal or business) and at some point in time the person seeking something from the other has doubt in their mind. Rather than give the other person/their business/their client the benefit of the doubt, having confidence, belief, and faith in them, 99.9% of the time that person is going to make a decision based on doubt. When we do that we don’t get the best from the situation/scenario.
- It’s natural to doubt other because you’re reacting on past experiences and from the many experience you’ve had, you have reason to have doubt. But, in society today, it is endemic to go into a relationship with doubt. You doubt that person is genuine, you doubt that person has you best interest at heart, you doubt that it will all work out, you doubt that the person won’t effectively make you feel good. There’s doubt everywhere.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m not saying don’t look after your own interests, certainly in business you must put your own interests first. But, at some point we must put our own interests first.’
‘Squeeze your lemons more. We’re not getting the most out of our interactions in society because we’re going in with a taking mentality not a giving mentality. We’re going in with doubt, not with confidence.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- At the age of 22 I had just started university studying molecular genetics to become a doctor, I was in the best shape of my life and I figured the world was my oyster. But the world didn’t give me pearls; it gave me arthritis, intense pain in every single joint. There were nights I would sip dinner through a straw because my jaw was so painful and swollen. Eventually I learned to build my pain tolerance so I could get out of bed, through college, get a job and have a life, but there was pain all the time and my range of motion deteriorated.
- I tried medication, supplements, diet changes, acupuncture. Everything worked for a little while and then it just stopped and I could figure out why. This took up about 20 years of my life. Finally, my father found a place in India where they do ‘combined therapy’ and they’ve had successes with multiple illnesses. I went and the man there talked to me for two weeks asking me questions about my entire life. At the end he said “Here’s the problem, you believe you’re responsible for everyone in your life. You don’t think so consciously, but from everything you’ve told me, you’ve created a belief that started when you were 8 years old.”
- I was told if you’re in constant pain and lying in bed with it, you don’t have to be responsible for anyone and no one can judge you for it and you don’t have to feel guilty for it. If you believe deep down that you’re not responsible for anyone but yourself, you don’t need the arthritis. I woke up the next morning with no pain, no inflammation, more mobility and I could even breathe better. I freaked out! The damage was still there, but the pain was gone and I could do more.
- This isn’t just about illness, this is why you don’t have the relationships you want, this is why the money isn’t coming in, this is why the success isn’t coming in. That problem you think you can’t overcome or the thing that happens over and over to you, that’s a solution for something else. I’ve learned to help people find out what the actual problem is and when you remove the actual problem the problem you were trying to fix disappears and it feels like reality itself shifts around you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Most chronic illnesses are the solutions for problems people don’t realise they have.’
‘You create your world largely out of the avoidance of bad emotions and you’re willing to put yourself through financial or physical troubles to avoid those feelings of primarily guilt or shame.’
‘Those emotions are choices, people don’t realise it because in the moment it feels like I just reacted, I felt guilty or sad, but it’s all based on programming growing up how you’re going to react to situations, what emotions you’re going to feel and you can train yourself to react differently.’
‘I can tell when your conscious beliefs match your unconscious beliefs. You think you’re telling the truth but there’s a part of you saying no, I don’t want to do that. Once we know there’s an incongruence there we go down and try to figure out what’s happening.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about attending a business workshop/retreat recently where the day began with meditation and visualisation which was the most interesting part of the day for Gavin as he discovered a message for self-expansion.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When we did the visualisation one thing most people experience is a sense of clarity as to how to go about creating or generating business. For me, the business side was very clear, I didn’t have any insight into how to grow, how to reach a big audience, how to change my strategy, etc. The message I did get was of self-expansion.
- I’ve just started working for a local property company and other people have told me when you start it will take time to get your name out, get properties listed, and to make sales. They’re impressing upon me the belief that I will be able to create ‘x’ or make ‘x’ in a certain amount of time. If I allow myself to lead with the belief that they are correct, then I can’t make more sales or deals than I’m allowing myself to believe.
- A lot of people believe manifestation to be a magic wand. Whilst it is magical, it’s certainly not a wand. We manifest and things turn up in a certain way. Not necessarily the way that we originally intended or interpreted, there’s an element of faith that you have in your ability and in the universe guiding and supporting you and in this faith you must have trust.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Self-expansion is taking the idea of who you are and growing that. For example, your belief that you can achieve ‘x’, why not increase that belief to ‘x, y, z’?’
‘We’re capable of so much more than we believe, or we lead ourselves to believe.’
‘Anything is possible for all of us. We are infinite intelligence, we are limitless wisdom.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Septemics is a philosophical science based on the fact that many phenomena related to human beings occur in a sequence of seven levels. Septemics comprise a selection of scales or sequences each of which breaks down various human phenomena into a hierarchy of seven steps. There are 35 step scale which span the spectrum of human experience – there is no situation that is going to arise for a human being to which one (or more than one) of these 35 scales will not apply. It’s universally applicable.
- Each of the 35 scales has seven levels and each one is an axis of human phenomena. In order to correctly evaluate a person, there are many axes to measure a person. Some people are high on one scale and low on another, for example: Einstein was a genius, that’s level one on the scale of human ability, one the scale of basic purposes he was not at the top of the scale he was at maybe level two or three possibly level four.
- I worked for decades as a human development engineer very successfully, my clients were very happy with the work I did for them, some of them I worked with for hundreds and hundreds of hours over a period of years. As I was doing this I started to observe that when they would improve, they would improve in ways that were predictable to me. I never said that to them, but I noticed these facts and after a while I had these various scales of various lengths that had been written down. When a person moved on a scale as a result of our interaction, I would know what level he was going to go to because I could see what level he was at.
- I worked on this book for 25 years in consultation with some very brilliant associates of mine. I started passing round the transcript to my students, my clients, friends of mine and getting feedback. The feedback to this from day one was astonishingly positive. They were blown away by this. I was helping people in the hundreds as a human development engineer, now I’m helping people in the millions with this book. Anyone who reads English reasonably well can use this book alone because it has everything in it you need to improve yourself, your life and the people around you. Each of the 35 scales provides the user with an infallible way of determining the salutariness [sic] or the beneficialness [sic] of any group activity or individual.Combined, they empower one to understand, predict and manage human affairs to a degree hitherto unattainable by most.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Every one of these scales will blow the mind of the reader because this is getting into a whole new subject that apparently has been unknown until I stumbled across it.’
‘One of the axioms of this project is that you can only move to an adjacent level. Sometimes it may seem that you’ve skipped a level but that is impossible – you can go through levels quickly and easily, but you went through them nevertheless.’
‘This solves a problem that has been the bane of human existence since the beginning of society: What is the gradient? It’s impossible to lose 100lbs, but it’s possible to lose 1lb 100 times, this is true for everything – you have to have the right gradient in order to succeed.’
‘I have a hard science background, I took 26 semesters of math, when I saw this appear mathematically I knew that I was looking at natural law.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the times when we’ve learned something new, made an achievement, when we have experienced success and got to the point where we’ve ‘made it’ or ‘got it’. But there is always room for growth, not just materialistically but in terms of consciousness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I gave myself a scale from 0-100 to visualise for staying outstanding, which I deem to be staying about 70%. When I stayed above 70% for an elongated period of time and made it a habit, I took the 70-100% and made it 1-100 again. When I achieved 70 and above I did the same and I continue to keep collapsing the framework and reframing it in a way that allows me to keep growing.
- If you finish reading a book your rational mind might think there’s no point in ever reading it again, I’ve learned everything I have by reading it. You’ll know that’s not true, if you read the book again you could pick out other points that were beneficial, points that you hadn’t recognised. It’s the same with re-watching films, you notice different things in them the more times you watch them.
BEST MOMENTS‘This idea that there is always room for growth is an attitude that we should adopt. It’s a way of life, a sense of awareness, it’s a habit, it takes 21 days to form a habit.’
‘When we question things we begin to see or create loopholes or new ideas or belief systems. So it’s really important to know there’s always growth. Without that sense of awareness how can you encourage yourself to new levels of growth?’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I joined the army at 16 and left at 26 and did four months of odd jobs before I started my own business, an IT company, where I started out building computers but progressive to working with corporates as a consultant. Over the years I’ve had a number of businesses and partnerships from property to mediation to motorcycle and vehicle repair. Some have been profitable, and others have been money pits, but it means I’ve done the hard learning, I know what it’s like to get a repossession letter.
- About three years ago I had a bit of a burn out, I stopped exercising and began seeing a therapist who said I was good at talking and suggested I should become a life coach. SO I researched life coaching, more for my own benefit than anything else, but I realised that I could actually do it and so I started helping a couple of people I knew. During covid a lot of my other businesses halted overnight, and I concentrated on the coaching. Then, I spoke to a friend who was coming out of the military who wanted to start up a business and I talked him through the process.
- When we’re an employee we’re paid what our employers think we’re worth. There will always be a cap on it because they want to make money out of us. One of the things about freedom is you need time and money. A lot of people look at money as being a bad thing, but it’s a facilitator, and time is the most valuable resource we have in the world, we can never get it back. Wealthy people are not people who are financially rich, they’re people who have time to do what they want to do when they want to do it. They set their alarm clock not because they have to but because they want to.
- There are no quick fixes in life, if there were I’d be a billionaire! It all depends on the individual. We’re all individuals and for that we are graced. We all have the ability to do whatever we want in life. I took my law degree at 42, my masters at 47, I’ve learned to fly, paraglide, dive, all these things I learned in later life or re-learned how to do. You can too, you have to ask questions of yourself to unlock the blocks.
BEST MOMENTS‘Work for yourself not somebody else, make yourself rich.’
‘Having one source of income can be dodgy because you never know when you’re going to lose that source.’
‘I’m passionate about helping other people, I enjoy talking, I’m also a good listener which is what’s helped me when working with other people to make changes in their lives that are drastic enough for them to live a limitless life.’
‘Time plus money equals freedom.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I was swimming and one of the things my coach taught me and used during our training sessions I never really used even though I thought I was. For a swimming technique I’ve learned where there are tiny pauses between the phases of the stroke. I’ve been swimming a lot in preparation for the English Channel swim, and before that the aborted Strait of Gibraltar swim, and only last week did I realise that the pauses were important. All of a sudden I got into a graceful flow.
- The way to tell your stroke efficiency is how many strokes you do per length. In a 25 metre pool someone of my experience should be achieving under A decent swimmer: 21-23 strokes. I’ve not been below 21 strokes the whole time, but on the very first length after figuring out the pauses my stroke count was 19. It makes me wonder if I’d have reached France that day. I will do it again some day.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When you say things out loud, it changes things.’
‘I stopped, I smiled, I pumped my fists in the air and I’m so happy.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We all grew up with the word fear and failure as something to be scared of, but I see fear as: Face Everything And Rise. Same as fail: First Attempt In Learning. It’s all about programming and mindset to really thrive and not give up because there are great things ahead of us.
- The majority of news on TV is bad news, we don’t hear a lot of good news. Only you have the control and the power to programme your mind and not let it be programmed by others.
- No book idea is stupid, there’s a market out there for anybody. I like to target people who are in real estate and minorities – people who look like me – because there are many people out there who want to do things but don’t know how to do it or have never seen someone like them do it before.
- These shit holes and roadblocks in life, slaps in the face, punches in the stomach had to happen multiple times in my life to get where I am today. That’s a combination of losing loved ones, being racially discriminated against, people not treating me fairly, hitting 430 on my credit score which is really bad in the US, I was completely broke and sleeping in my pick up truck while working two jobs, when my family went negative towards my decision making. All these things have molded me into who I am today, but at the end of the day it’s just you, you know yourself the most, you remember those downs and those ups. Any leader has to be a target, make sacrifices, feel alone at some point and I’m happy I went through that at a young age and understood those lessons in life. Now I teach other people about those and it’s kept me motivated, mature and strong in will and mindset.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The most important thing in your entrepreneurship journey is not giving up.’
‘Give before you receive – leave education and provide as much content as you can to educate people about what you do and how you help them.’
‘If you’re looking to change the world and impact the world it’s baby steps but your idea matters and you matter.’
‘You are your worst enemy but also the best advocate for yourself. If you say you can do it you can do it.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A buddy of mine, Dave, and his 5-year-old kid, Max, came to stay with me while they went skiing. Max was a speed demon on the slopes and he had no fear. When he fell down he got straight back up. I was in awe and admiration of the way a 5-year-old sees the world and deals with what’s happening to them.
- I got into a situation at the swimming pool where I was doing some maintenance swims and was out into a lane with some slower women when I should have been put in with some faster people. It was run badly and I wanted to get out and tell the lifeguard/swimming coach. But I thanked my ego for raising its ugly head and that this wasn’t the right way to deal with the situation. The right way is to be grateful to the opportunity the universe has provided me to understand that today I need to slow down and work on my technique, to use the time wisely and not be concerned with speed.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s remarkable what happens when you challenge your normal way of thinking and being and you change your actions that you once may have executed.’
‘You will be in awe of who you can become and what you can achieve. I want that for all of you, for the world at large.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being a mindset coach, for me, means overcoming limiting beliefs, having emotional intelligence, understanding that there are certain things you can control and that’s what you worry about, don’t worry about the things you can’t control. I help people overcome their limiting beliefs, improve their self-esteem, build up their self-confidence, and really give them the ability to go for what they want in life, and design a life they don’t need a vacation from.
- Expectations are a dangerous thing. If you expect things to go well all the time you’re going to be highly disappointed when things don’t go as planned. You should aspire instead of expect, because you’ll put in the work to make something what you want it to be and you’ll understand that it’s not always going to go as planned.
- Vulnerability is a strength. When you’re vulnerable and you’re willing to actually open up and share some of your story, you’re willing to let people know that you’re not actually OK and you need help, it allows you to really go out and get the support you need. We’re very sociable creatures, it’s one of the things that makes us great and different from other species. Get help and let people know how you’re feeling, do not try to take everything on yourself – it's a losing game. Have people around you (friends or family) that you can talk to who will give you an unbiased opinion, who will listen to what’s underneath what you’re saying. Challenge yourself to do something different and is challenging for you each day. When you challenge yourself and you do succeed you’ve set a new baseline for yourself and you’re not the same person you were yesterday. It takes small incremental things.
- When you feel down you need to really identify things that bring the joy back in your life and focus on them, this will be your solitude or the thing you do to bring you back to where you want to be as a person. Every day, when you suffer from things like PTSD, they can hit you out of nowhere with no warning. When that happens you need to be mindful of how that manifests; do you feel a certain way physically when you know it’s happening? Do you know your triggers that bring you to these situations? Affirmations, journalling, singing, whatever it is, you should have some go to tool that will help your mood, help you get back up, you have to have habits when certain situations happen and you start to feel down or not like yourself.
BEST MOMENTS‘Emotional intelligence is really just having control of your emotions, understanding empathy and compassion, really being able to regulate/calm yourself and respond to things in a rational way.’
‘Appreciating the opposite of joy makes you grateful for all the good times, makes you thankful for your partner.’
‘It’s not the outcome we need to focus on so much, it’s the journey, learning along the way, being open to what’s going on.’
‘Stay calm, understand that it is not a permanent thing, it’s temporary. When we understand that the discomfort and pain is temporary, we know we can take steps to get out of there and move forward.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about a friend of his that recently got injured through sport and has started smoking marijuana to unhelpfully fill a void and to deal with injury depression, something Gavin has some experience with.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My experience with injury depression has always been two steps forwards, five steps backwards. Each time I get injured I get depressed, and I fall off the wagon. It’s something I’ve recognised and become aware of, and I’ve now relinquished the idea of injury depression. But in my friend’s case, that change is so drastic that if I was to be able to show that he was replacing one thing with another to fill a void, and that the thing he’d chosen to use or to do wasn’t the healthiest, I’m sure he’d probably take different action.
- As a coach you can’t help someone who is not willing to help themselves first. I think in this person’s situation there are little things we can do, like breaking down habits. Every personal trainer I’ve ever worked with has said no matter how injured you are there’s always something you can work on, whether it’s working on the physical side of your game that you can do (the lower body if you’ve injured your shoulder, for example).
- My friend could do lots of little things. It is slightly difficult for him, his injury is deep in his stomach muscles, so any extensions use the core. But, to be physical we don’t have to do physical exertion. I put breathing in the physical exercise mould, he could be using his time to do breath work, to meditate, to better understand himself. When you have a better understanding of yourself you’re able to change things. You don’t have to throw the kitchen sink at it and make big changes overnight, just small incremental changes.
- We need to know what makes us tick, once we know that we can adapt our scenario/situation/outcome to something that’s more fulfilling. We’d all like to be able to go from zero to hero in a matter of moments rather than a matter of years, but that life journey, that path, doesn’t happen overnight, it’s something that builds up slowly through consistency. When you take these diversions of distractions you’re not helping yourself get there any quicker.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you smoke frequently it blocks the receptors in our brain and in our system.’
‘It’s so interesting that we can get distracted so easily and become unaligned and unhinged quicker than we see it happening. Eventually there will be a point where you feel it, and when you feel it you become aware of it, and awareness is the first port of any change.’
‘Go for a long walk. Get out in nature. Nature is the biggest healer, we really connect with ourselves in nature.’
‘The best way to get rid of a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Usually, all entrepreneurs know what it means to be the bottleneck in their business. In the first few years of starting a business all the decision making is tied around you. At some point that business model is not sustainable because you’ll get completely overwhelmed, you won’t delegate enough, and this is where you become a bottleneck. You and your business are stuck and not moving as fast as you’d like to.
- The first thing I do is sit down with entrepreneurs and ask them to tell me what’s going on. I don’t usually have a lot of experience in their business areas/industries, so I ask a lot of questions. During that process I ask why they did this and that and about how they’re feeling. Once we reach there and I have a full picture I explore what it is they want to achieve and what changes they’d like to see happen? We then select the best option and the most important step in any coaching conversation is to make a plan of action.
- There are a lot of examples of companies where, when the leadership is in difficulty, and the leaders are completely transparent about it, the staff will actually gather around the leaders and will work harder to keep the ship afloat. They may lack motivation and this is where leadership is really important, something needs to be done by the leader of the company to address the issues. They need to know that there is a captain and someone know what’s going to happen, even if that is: “I don’t know if everyone is going to keep their job, but I can guarantee that in the next three months I will do whatever it takes to ensure the maximum number of people keep their job, are you with me or not?”
- Over my years running companies I really enjoyed the interaction that I had with staff, especially training, coaching and mentoring them. When I see the sparkle in their eyes when they understand something or they have a breakthrough, that’s a big reward for me. When I reached the age of 40 I figured if I don’t do something for myself I will never do it, so I thought about what I really like to do, what makes me me, and I became a coach for entrepreneurs because I speak their language.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Being an entrepreneur starts in your head. It’s all about mindset. When, in your head, it’s not going well you become the bottleneck.’
‘Unlike a lot of coaches who just ask questions, I ask questions but also provide guidance. I have a little bit of experience running businesses that I can use, as well as interviewing successful entrepreneurs every week on my podcast.’
‘A big problem for entrepreneurs is keeping a balance between work and private life, that’s another way they become the bottleneck; they work too much and they burn out and they can’t make decisions any more.’
‘If you don’t take care of yourself first, there is no way that you can take care of others or your business.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My good friend Dave and his five-year-old son Max came to Spain to ski. The resort is an hour away from where I live, so they came to stay with me. Now they’ve left I’m left with a little bit of an empty feeling. It’s not a bad feeling, but it is a feeling, and we really have to use our feelings as a compass. In this case, they’ve left a void and I miss them, but I love the lifestyle that I lead, that’s what the move was all about in the first place.
- We’re really lucky with technology, you can reach out to those friends and family that aren’t near and you can still spend time with them. But of course it’s not the same as spending time with them in person.
- If there’s a void you need to fill, don’t just acknowledge it, take action. How do you fill that void? In this case, it’s incumbent on me to find a local community or group of people that I enjoy spending time with, and I have done that. But, it would be healthy for me to find people I really resonate with and have conversations about anything: deep conversations, conversations about sweet nothings. There’s an app called MeetUp that’s global and I suggest downloading it, there’s all sorts of things on there – sport, language exchanges, mindset stuff.
- I’m looking for deep connections. I find shallow connections unfulfilling. I wouldn’t say they’re a waste of my time, it’s a way to fill the void, but how do you create better relationships? Trying to grow the relationships you already have but perhaps aren’t as progressed as the ones where you just meet people for a night out. I think the pandemic has suffocated us in that way and the greatest effect of all of this will be on our mental health. Perhaps you feel more awkward now in social situations. You can deal with that by simply moving from a conversation you’re not enjoying to another one.
BEST MOMENTS‘When you have great friends that you’ve known for 20-30 years it makes it tough to live abroad.’
‘I watched the Man United game with my Dad over facetime. While he was watching the game my whole family had dinner and I felt like I was there with them, and it was a really joyous feeling.’
‘Just put yourself more out there in whatever capacity that may be.’
‘How can we create better conversations in our lives? We have to be courageous and vulnerable and willing to put ourselves out there. Just take it one little step at a time: Smile and say hello to people and slowly increase your interactions with them.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When I was in university I used to do case competitions – professional sports for nerds – while other guys were out playing sports I was doing presentations competitively instead. That’s where I learned how to speak. I started helping some of the younger students with their presentations because there were no communications professors there and a few years later I had the idea for the YouTube channel because none of this stuff was available on the internet and that turned into the coaching practice I have today.
- Momentum is so important because communication as a skill is very vague, unlike something like losing weight. What does being a great communicator even mean? Do you use less filler words? Do you smile more? Because that definition is very vague, we need something very small and specific that we can master over time so that we can see progress. So, I devised the random word exercise where you take a random word and create presentations out of thin air, it only takes one minutes to do and if you do it five times a day for a year you’ll have done it hundreds if not thousands of times and that is an easy trick to get started in communication, it puts you out of your comfort zone and will build your resilience as a speaker up in the shortest possible time.
- There are three types of people listening to this podcast. The first is listening passively and they don’t remember any of the exercises. The second is a really good note taker but after the podcast is over they don’t implement the things they’ve written down. The third is a very small percentage of people who are not just writing things down but are thinking about what their action step will be, how they will implement this.
- I don’t think it’s possible to remove the fear from presenting. There’s always a level where all of us are scared, including me. Trying to get rid of the fear of communication is a bad expectation to have because you’ll be haunted by it for the rest of your life. Communication is like a boxing match; on one side of the ring is your fear, on the other side of the ring is the message. The goal is not to remove the fear, it's that when your message and your fear meet in the middle of the ring your message wins the match. It should be so important to you that the fear is lost in the end.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s not about writing things down, the best way to speak is to speak. If you want to get better, challenge yourself. If you take that action step you’ll be much better than most people at communication.’
‘Practise your presentation like a puzzle. Start with the edges – the introduction, nothing else, 40-60 times. Do the same thing with the conclusion, make sure it’s perfect and then tackle the middle. If you practise this way, you’ll build momentum in your speech and you’ll be able to hook in an audience a lot more efficiently and effectively.’
‘After a few hours of being bombarded by 500 questions about your subject you’ll become bulletproof. Only a small percentage of questions you won’t have an answer for.’
Unlike sports, which you can practise and none of the parameters change, presentations are always different. Find one topic you can deliver a presentation on over and over again, including your movements, and master it.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
As an experienced speaker and facilitator, Brenden Kumarasamy understands that audience members need to walk away captivated, and above all, inspired to master the art of communication. It should be seen as something to look forward to rather than a burden that must be overcome.
Brenden speaks about many topics relating to communication such as presentation skills, storytelling and speech breakdowns explaining what separates the best speakers in the world from everyone else.
Brenden’s workshops focus on interactive activities between participants to practise communication in a tangible and entertaining way. By securing quick wins for his audience, he is able to quickly convince them that communication can be mastered at any level.
Brenden’s private coaching program is personalised to each individual that he coaches. He only takes 10 clients at any given time and each client goes through a vetting process to ensure good fit and results delivered.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In order to manifest something you need to come from the feeling, the vibrancy, the vibration, or the frequency of the end result. For instance, if you wanted to be a millionaire, rather than have your head stuck in your hands and pulling your hair, to act, to talk, to walk as if you already are a millionaire.
- To me, Stay Outstanding means staying at a frequency of 70% or more. If you could achieve that you could stay outstanding. As time has gone on I’ve managed to reach that and stay above 70%, I’ve then wanted to take the 70 to 100% to always play life at the highest level, to always be growing, to always get to the next level. The next levels are endless, there’s always a new level. Consciousness doesn’t just stop, it grows.
- To create awareness you could journal or use affirmations because as you say your affirmations you will feel it resonating inside you. The first time you say a new affirmation you might feel some resistance come up and your inner dialogue says it’s a fraud. But the more and more you say it the more and more you believe it and the more and more it becomes, and so you resist less and eventually the resistance will go away.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Staying Outstanding means that whatever you’re going through you can still feel happy, still feel joy, to be content.’
‘To me, the ups and downs in life are represented by the echocardiogram.’
‘Everything starts with awareness. We need to have an awareness of where we are so we can get to the next level.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A truth seeker is someone who finds freedom from within, to be who they are authentically, to be their true self. There’s many different teachings, religions, philosophies, and theories about life and the universe, but what’s the real truth? For me it’s about walking my own path and following my own path in order to figure out that truth.
- I’ve had to overcome my fear of shame, of failure and of uncertainty to embark on the van lifestyle. It felt like I had to deconstruct and reconstruct myself, it was really difficult. I also had to overcome the fear of loneliness because I often stay in remote places a lot of the time by myself in nature. This helped me become independent which was very rewarding because I can now be in relationship to other people authentically. The third challenge was figuring out all the little things in order to make my van lifestyle work and make it comfortable and feel at home with myself living in such a tiny space.
- I left a corporate life with a background in engineering and decided not to go back to that lifestyle and do something I’m really passionate about, which was travelling. It’s not a career path, but it led me there by doing something I love and am passionate about. It doesn’t feel like work.
- I think you feel lonely because you are dependent on other people, you want to constantly be surrounded by people because you’re uncomfortable being with yourself. You don’t know yourself, you don’t know who you are. When you learn to be comfortable with yourself and your own best friend you don’t have to be dependent on other people, you can entertain yourself. Now I love to be alone so much, it’s more of my comfort zone now than spending time with other people because when you spend time with other people you often have to compromise. You have to strike a balance.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can learn from other people but you don’t have to follow their footprints or their exact path to find your truth because your truth is unique to you.’
‘My lifestyle has taught me a lot about myself, not just the freedom it’s given me but all the challenges that I had gone through and the lessons I had to learn that helped me to know who I am. It’s like building muscles but for your courage by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone.’
‘Home is really within yourself, it’s not anywhere outside of you.’
‘Your heart is the compass which guides you home to yourself.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- An affirmation, more often than not, begins with “I am…”: “I am wealthy”, “I am healthy”, “I am intelligent”, “I am a good friend/partner”, “I am brave/courageous”, “I am happy to be here”, “I am alive”, “I am always learning”, “I am responsible”, “I am not in a race, there is plenty of time”.
- Affirmations help keep you motivated, they affirm who you are and how you want to feel, they keep your mind focussed on the goal ahead and they certainly influence your subconscious mind. They change the way you think and behave, they make you feel positive, energetic and active and therefore put you in a better frame of mind.
- There are so many different kinds of affirmations. It’s really important to tailor any affirmation to you, to the situation you’re going through. It doesn’t have to be about money solely. People that tend to yo-yo diet have some issues, if you have health you don’t have those issues.
BEST MOMENTS
‘An affirmation could be: “I am worthy” or “I am proud of everything I have created, am creating, will create”.’
‘We are changing the neural pathways, we are downloading and removing the old programming and uploading the new programming.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Above And Beyond is about bringing awareness to accessibility and inclusion within my community. It garnered so much success and notoriety that I got the opportunity to publish a book under the same name and things have catapulted from there.
- Accessibility and inclusion is so often overlooked and overshadowed, it’s often considered secondary or an afterthought in most worlds. I really wanted to bring that formidably to the forefront of the conversation because disability is the largest minority group worldwide and the only demographic with a fluctuation rate where it could happen to anyone situationally, temporarily, permanently, at birth, or what have you.
- The challenges we face, especially in my world, are educational and attitudinal barriers to access and inclusion. I’m often reminded of the quote “If you build it they will come”, but if you don’t build it with accessibility you are eliminating approximately 15% of the population worldwide. So, when we think of accessibility and inclusion, we need to think of that at the forefront of the conversation and build with accessibility and tangibly.
- Our biggest allies are youths because a lot of kids tend to be more curious and want to learn about disability and inclusion. They'll see my wheelchair and ask questions and I’m totally open to that. I want to be able to answer the questions because that leads to conversation, to understanding and to less ignorance. I know it’s not an overnight solution, or one for 5-10 years from now, but the fact that we need to build and maintain momentum on access and inclusion is important to the greater good of collective prosperity for everyone.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Transitioning from walking to using a wheelchair wasn’t a negative, it was an opportunity to be outspoken about gratitude and the importance of setting a path of access and inclusion.’
"We're often pushed back by a lot of ableism/discrimination on account of people not necessarily having the desire to change or amplify a community – and I say that with respect, but the results show it.’
‘We’re not there yet where inclusion is second nature, and I don’t think we’re ever going to be there to be truly honest. It’s about the progression not the perfection of it.’
‘When we include people in the world with kindness it really helps amplify what the collective can do together.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Anthony Frisina has a passion for accessibility and inclusion. He is driven by a community in Hamilton, Ontario, where he was born and still calls home today.
Born with Spina Bifida he was privileged to adopt a “person first” mentality in his early years, a mindset he currently embodies in his everyday life. “Adversity not only builds character it reveals it '' and “It’s not about the amount of times you get knocked down, but by the amount of times you get back up” are two of his favourite quotes and they inspire the man he is today.
He is a Mohawk College graduate in Enterprise Business; Office Administration Executive and when not working at Mohawk College as a Student Services Representative at The Square, he can often be seen with his wheels turning at Mohawk College. In 2014, he was inducted into an elite group as a Mohawk College Alumni of Distinction.
When not at Mohawk he can be found in his community representing the Rick Hansen Foundation or the Catholic Youth Organization in an ambassadorial role and enjoys spending time with his family and friends.
Anthony Frisina is truly a testament of character, overcoming many obstacles along the way, breaking down and breaking through barriers, so that he, along with the next generation, can enjoy an inclusive community, a community based on ability.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about a recent discussion he had with a client who had gone from corporate to consultancy. They’re still in transition, so there’s no certainty, and when you don’t have certainty the ship can tend to wobble. Purpose steadies the wobble.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The wobbling that’s occurring for my client is because there’s no purpose any more. Yes, they’ve achieved their dream of getting out of the corporate, they’re earning income, they’re living outside the city and closer to nature, and they get to spend more time with their kids. But, they still feel unfulfilled.
- We all need a reason to live, to live fully, to live with intent, to live passionately. If you have no purpose it’s like a ship without a captain. How does the ship get guided to its destination? It doesn’t. Purpose gives us definition, meaning, intention. I truly believe every one of us has a purpose on this planet.
- How do you find your purpose? Ask what gets you excited, find out what your passions are and marry it with some kind of skills you already have.
- It’s really important to get a clear sense and definition of why you are here. It’s not a mistake that you’re here. You’re here for a reason. Those that are sleeping do not have purpose or add to the collective field – the level of consciousness created by mankind here on Earth through which we can create a great vibration throughout the planet and the universe.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We all want to leave a legacy and our children are our best example of leaving a legacy.’
‘Purpose is a direction. It gives you a sense of meaning.’
‘You are not your body, it’s a thing that you have, it’s not your soul definition, you are more than what you have. We are mind, body and spirit.’
‘I like to think that my purpose brings me into contact with other people that need my unique skill set or offer.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We are not just bodies and our medical challenges don’t just have medical solutions, we are brains in bodies doing behaviours within the context of relationships and environments. We have all of these other things that are more directly within our influence – not easy, mind you – changing mindsets, relationships and environment are not easy, but they are more possible sometimes than changing a medical condition.
- If we really want to change ourselves and the world, we’ve got to have the honesty and the humility to acknowledge the way we actually are. That’s where real change begins, not where we want to be or how we would like to believe we are, but how we actually are. That idea is really attractive to me and how I got into social psychology.
- It’s such a remarkable thing that humans have created a world that allows some of us to get really deep and geeky into the things that we’re really interested in and the areas that we want to contribute to. The division of labour is such a remarkable invention, and I felt really privileged to have had that opportunity. The privilege incurs a kind of responsibility to do something meaningful out of it. For me, it was this wonderful idea that we can know one another better and that there’s this great conversation that has been going for thousands of years where we are each trying to make serious contributions to it and through our conversation help improve the quality of life we experience
- Mindset is crucial, but it’s only the gateway. People get caught up in the idea that “you can if you think you can, you’ve got to be positive”. No. Sometimes you think you can and you still get smacked down. What is important is: If you think you can’t you likely won’t. You’ve got to craft a mindset that is open enough to try, to be resilient, to be creative, you’ve got to keep trying, accept failure and learn from it and then you’ve got to try the new thing.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Right now in the U.S., over half of Americans now live with a chronic illness. In Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of the world, you guys aren’t far behind.’
‘I became interested in the question: How can we live a good life when we are faced with something that is intrinsically bad that we can never get away from? In my case multiple sclerosis.’
‘The thing I fear most is in my body with me.’
‘You will never have arrived, you’re always on the journey.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about his dealings with bankruptcy in 2017 when his successful real estate company, which he’d grown from nothing to a £65 million turnover company, failed and how he changed his life from that moment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I decided to work my 30s and live my 40s, work so hard that I’d have financial freedom in my 40s, so I could support a family and give them everything that we hope to give our loved ones.
- In 2017, George Osbourne – the then British Chancellor, made a tax change to the Stamp Duty Land Tax which specifically hit the homes that were looking to sell because they were worth between £2-5 million. Before you may have paid £20,000 tax on buying that house, you were now being asked to pay £200,000. It was a rash decision that people like me paid for. A week later, we finished construction, and we were ready to sell.
- My investors decided to call in their loans. We were overdue on project time. When a loan is called in you have to repay it. The investors took away my hard-earned share to line their pockets. The whole business collapsed, I was made personally bankrupt, I’m still on the universal black credit list, and they pocketed my money and still made their interest on the loan, still made their profit share plus profits from other projects and interest from the loan.
- Essentially, what went wrong wasn’t really anything to do with the investors. I was so committed to the business, I was working six and a half days a week, 16 hour days. What really needed to happen was for me to bring in other investors so that this investor didn’t have the sole authority/sway, and work on the business. I was going to do this once this project was over, but as life would have it, it wasn’t meant to be. And so started my journey of self-worth.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Know who you’re getting into bed with.’
‘Thanks to the change to SDLT people decided to stay where they were instead of buying a bigger home and building extensions or using the money to put into their kids university fund – quite rightly so.’
‘I committed everything for the best part of 8-9 years into the company. It was my baby, and it was taken away from me. What was worse was the clothes from my back were also taken from me and I was left with absolutely nothing.’
‘During Covid I had this mini epiphany that if I couldn’t affect the outside world, let’s go deep inside. It was only then that I was able to begin my journey to healing from my bankruptcy.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Losing my hearing at the age of four affects the way I think about the hearing community, I was angry at them because I was bullied at a young age, and I thought that the older I got the more I would be bullied. On top of that, I developed anxiety. It was very hard to communicate with teachers, even, who had never taught a deaf child before. I really had to pull up my socks and rely on my family’s support to boost my confidence.
- I’m a lip-reader, I have to read your lips to figure out what you’re saying. Covid made me more anxious to be around people because they were so nervous to take off their masks to talk. My boss introduced me to clear masks, which I didn’t know existed until then, so that made things a little easier for me.
- The amount I can hear changes day-to-day depending on the weather or how tired I am. Signing and lipreading is tiring, so if you’re tired and you don’t have the energy it can be really hard. The hearing community should be mindful of that, we are really trying to hear you, so don’t make it harder than it should be.
BEST MOMENTS
‘As I got older I found the right people to talk to, and found clips of YouTube to help me. Support is so important, without support we don’t get anywhere.’
‘I want to start my own coaching business to help people who have disabilities to overcome anxiety and self-esteem issues.’
‘Be consistent when you’re being inclusive, you don’t know who’s going to walk in the door and need your service, or who might be watching your social media platforms.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Kelina Powel was born healthy but at the age of 4 she got sick and after seeking treatment from her doctor and putting on antibiotics just a few days later she went deaf. Suddenly she became part of a community she knew nothing about.
Kellina is also a young entrepreneur who loves to help people with their personal growth and educate others about the deaf community. She recently graduated with a psychology degree and is now starting her own online coaching business while launching her book.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are many different levels of transition. My first transition was my spiritual awakening – the realisation that I was meant for more and that although I’d done well in life I hadn’t been paying attention to why I was here.
- A lot of us who have had an awakening have become more conscious, have found our purpose, and are always seeking to grow. At times you don’t grow as quick as you might like, but you’re always growing.
- How is your love for yourself? How is your love for your loved ones? How is your loved ones’ love for you? We all need that human connection, when you’re in transition, you may feel like that’s not in your control, you might feel like you don’t love yourself the way that you should.
- Significance: Are you part of a community? Do you give back to society? Are you recognised in your workplace? These are all steps on the road to certainty.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When you’re in transition, there are positive and negative ways that you meet certainty. What’s your contribution to society? Is it positive or negative? What’s your growth?’
‘You are a beautiful human being, you are a wonderful spirit.’
‘Uncertainty is created by variety. In transition you’re still trying things, still looking to perfect your skills, to hone your art, to make everything a smooth process for you to flow through.’
‘Each time we have a moment of self-awareness, we increase our consciousness.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I spent a lot of time in the darkness, I developed PTSD from the difficulties with the procedure, caused by the laws in place at the time. Finding the strength to rise came through a bunch of therapy, EMDR therapy, and a key moment last October when I went to the women’s march in Kansas City. I was holding a sign for my daughter, Hope, that talked about her suffering and how it was affecting my life too and that abortion saved my life. Women came up to me asking about my story, embraced me, prayed with me. That sense of community and belonging brought me healing and gave me the strength to rise and finish the book.
- In child loss and abortion there’s something called ‘the silent scream’ where women choose not to talk about these losses. As a society and world we’ve decided that we just don’t talk about that and it causes a lot of suffering for women and families that go through this. Ideal healing is about guiding people to tell their story and to say these things out loud as well as helping family members to accept the stories as opposed to fear and shy away from it.
- One of the laws that was in place while I was going through the abortion included asking me 6 different times if I wanted to go through the abortion process during the procedure – which lasts all day. That caused some trauma because I obviously didn’t want to be there going through it, but I knew I was the right choice to make for me and my child, there was no other option but to save my life and end her suffering.
BEST MOMENTS
‘At the time of Hope’s death, we were struggling financially and couldn’t afford therapy for me. I make sure these services are free of cost to folks who really need them.’
‘At the heart of this work, helping other people heal and find community, is keeping Hope’s memory alive.’
‘If we spent a little less time debating if things are ethical or moral and spend a little bit more time developing the procedure, there’d be less people who got harmed from these laws that they wrap around the clinics.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Kelsey Walker is the author of the book, ‘Face Everything And Rise’, in which she describes her experience with abortion in an engaging yet heart wrenching manner.
The mission of From The Green Desk is to comfort and validate women who are suffering as a result of abortion, child, infant or pregnancy loss. Through peer-to-peer services we will eliminate the ‘silent scream’ stigma associated with these losses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A lot of my friends’ parents are now at that stage in life where they now need care or support, or more of it than before. In other words, the tables are turning. When you look at the circle of life, as you go through the stages, the support, love, and care that was given and provided for you by your family, friends, and loved ones, you start having to give back.
- Me staying an extra week in London was accepting that he needs a bit more care and support and can’t do the things he used to do. When I have the opportunity to help and make my Dad’s life a little bit easier I take it and take joy in it.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s difficult for my Dad not to be as sporty as he was before, and it’s difficult to watch him not be so sporty. It’s just something that we have to accept.’
‘Small offers make a big difference.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks and discusses the questions: what is accountability? What does it take to be held accountable? And what does an accountability partner do?

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If somebody else other than you holds you accountable, more questions will arise. If you were supposed to go to the gym, for example, they may ask: Did/didn’t you go? What did/didn’t you do while you were there? How did/didn’t you feel whilst you were there? What you often find is being held accountable, by yourself or somebody else, often allows you to break habits easier.
- In order to be accountable, there has to be recognition of what you want to have done or achieved. There is no reason to do these things – which is a massive topic I want to touch on in its own episode on impact – but being held accountable by someone else makes you the best version of yourself.
- Something I’m focussed on right now is my relationship with spending money. Before Covid I liked to travel and I would spend my money on so many experiences and lessons. Now I’m an older bachelor, I’m looking to settle down and find a life partner and create a loving family. I recognised that I couldn’t do that if I kept behaving in the same way. By asking the mere question: How am I going to change it? That was the start of holding myself accountable and to create a path to changing a habit.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Accountability is the fact or condition of being accountable or responsible. Lack of accountability has corroded public interest for business and political leaders.’
‘To me, accountability is simply just holding yourself to do what you said.’
‘An accountability partner is just that, a friend, a loved one, or even Stay Outstanding host Gav.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We hear “be in the present moment” all the time, and that’s kind of like being told to mind your own business. There are three kinds of business: Yours, mine and the divine’s. The only time we’re ever in trouble, even if it’s just in our minds, is when we’re in someone else’s business. We get busy thinking we know better than them, but how can we possibly know better than them what’s best for them?
- The only place our life is taking place is in our mind with the stories that we’ve got going all day that we’re oblivious that we’re actually doing. Then, when somebody doesn’t live up to our expectations, we want to crucify them! It’s impossible for them to live up to our expectations. We’re setting ourselves up for disappointment time and time again.
- Like so many people I have very violent, alcoholic parents, sexual abuse, a child that died. As I got older and I decided my life had to radically change, as I read and went through training I heard different things that clicked with me and it created an immediate shift in me. Growing up with alcoholic parents I had to learn how to be a people pleaser and keep my mother calm because she was quite violent, that’s a form of manipulation. As an adult looking back on them in my mind’s eye, I was able to see the pain and suffering in my mother’s eye in those drunken moments and, instead of hatred, I felt such compassion and I understood that she and my father were doing the best they could in that moment. We don’t have to like it or condone it, but accepting takes the stress and resistance out.
- My goal is to help people at whatever stage they are in their life so that they enjoy a peaceful life and whatever that means to them. What they really want are peaceful thoughts. When you have peaceful thinking you’re not worried about whether you have enough money for this or that, all those fears are gone. We’ve always had enough, we just always want more, we’re addicted to more.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If something’s bothering you about another person, you have choices: You can either ask them to change it, be OK with it, or move on. But don’t try to make them feel miserable just because you’re feeling miserable about it.’
‘The only thing we can change is ourselves.’
"We allow fear to paralyse us – when we’re in fear we’re already living the worst thing that could happen in our mind, we haven’t been through it but we’ve lived it in our mind.’
‘As you get more familiar with the process, you get to a point over time where it’s always working for you. As you let go of those old beliefs you’ll also notice some old friends fade away, in a nice way, and are replaced with more like-minded people.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Sharon Valenti: Helping people find the right course to living their best version of life is what I am committed to doing. I'm here to help you find your way out of feeling like you’re floundering, losing hope, down-in-the-dumps and any other unwanted feeling you’ve got going on.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about understanding that we have so many attachments and that, if we could release those attachments, we could open up and create a whole new set of opportunities for ourselves.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A scholar named Ainsworth defines three main types of attachment, but later researchers found four: Secure attachment; Anxious insecure; Avoidant insecure; Disorganised insecure.
- Secure attachment is about being available, sensitive, responsive, accepting. Anxious insecure attachment is when someone becomes more demanding or clingy, hoping that their exaggerated distress will force the partner to react. A lack of predictability eventually means the person becomes needy, angry and distrustful. Avoidant insecure attachment is when someone has trouble accepting and responding sensitively to their partner’s needs. Instead of comforting the partner they minimise their feelings, reject their demands and don’t help with difficult tasks which leads to avoidant and insecure attachment.
- Take something that’s really important to you, that you’re really invested in, let’s say a stock. What happens now if you liquidated that stock and you weren’t attached to it? You could do anything with that liquidity now created. What about your car? We know electric cars are coming, sooner or later it’ll be electric only, are you attached to your car? Do you give it a name? Have you had a lot of experiences in it? If you were offered another car at the same price point that had some angle of benefit (a bigger windscreen, five doors instead of three) would you change to the new car, or are you attached to your old car? The possibility to take the new car only becomes available when you decide you are not attached to your car. We can pretty much apply this to anything in our lives.
BEST MOMENTS
‘So often, partners that display avoidant insecure attachment behaviours have a past that includes unresolved trauma.’
‘The calmer you are, the easier it is to release the ego. But, the ego is so well trained that it’s difficult to release it completely.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Nicole Grinnell to talk about her company, Bosun Solutions, which provides remote teams for business owners who want to build a team but don’t have the budget to employ a full team.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I came from a small business, I worked in my parents’ business from about 10 years old, went to corporate life and was an executive assistant, I stayed at home with my kids – I worked all the elements that make up Bosun. When I left my corporate life I noticed a gap where a business owner needs help and there’s an untapped workforce of mums, empty-nesters, women that want an alternative career path, there must be a way to blend that. That’s how Bosun was founded and we’ve been doing that for about 5 years.
- What is a personal and professional goal for you? What would you like to see in delegating ‘x’ amount of hours of work? We build that picture for our clients to let them have the time to work out, see their wife, whatever they need. We continually check in on them to make sure it’s still going well to make sure work is being taken care of but, personally, they’re getting to where they need to be.
- Being an entrepreneur/business owner is lonely, you’re kind of on an island making decisions in a silo. We try to schedule times that they have a space to truly stop, think about things, talk with someone about it, almost serving as a business and personal coach.
- The most shocking reveal of delegation is that you might actually get someone who’s better than you. You might get better results with someone else doing the job.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sometimes it’s just a matter of pausing and creating a space to think.’
‘I was shocked when I started this business to find out how many business owners didn’t know how to run a business.’
‘Bookkeepers are the number one thing people should hire, if you don’t know your numbers you have no idea where your business stands.’
‘My team is the one with boots on the ground, they’re coming to me with ideas they’re hearing from clients or contractors, I need to listen. Take your team’s feedback and allow them a space to communicate with you.’

Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the perception that we have that if we restrict ourselves we are depriving ourselves and how that is simply untrue.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve stopped drinking, and the reason for that is that the reason I’ve stopped is much bigger than the reason for me to continue, so it’s been easy. When your mission is bigger than the outcomes you’re currently getting, and your mission becomes a priority, then it’s not a hard thing to do.
- To feel better, what you’re actually looking for is the restriction of things you do not want in your life, that could be food, alcohol, the wrong kind of partner, bad energy towards money, lack of confidence in your relationships. You’re going to have to create a habit, which takes about a month.
- You can have it all. It’s about what is in line with your goals, dreams, ambitions. That’s what you’ve really got to look at and achieve, not what’s at the heart of society’s or your family’s, but what is at the heart of your goals, dreams and ambitions. They will determine what is good for you to restrict. It could be you don’t have to restrict anything, bus suffice to say; restricting is not negative.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Consistency is mastery.’
‘It’s really healthy to have restrictions – diets, intermittent fasting, ice baths – these have natural benefits.’
‘We've been taught that restriction is negative. Let’s not view it that way, let’s see restriction as consistency which is mastery.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Quite often you don’t get your flowers, and of course you don’t do things so you get flowers, but when you’ve been contributing for a long time it’s nice to be seen, witnessed, and through the keynote I delivered to the hip hop community in New Zealand, tell them about the ups and downs and the feeling that it’s not working, you don’t fit, you’re an outsider but how thought belief and self-actualisation, a lot of unreasonable things can happen.
- So many people are trying to learn how to succeed, but they don’t check into what their belief systems are, they don’t check into their own intuition, they don’t check into their emotional frequencies and vibe with what they’re doing, they’re really processing everything through their conscious mind and trying to be right. What I’ve discovered is that the ‘right’ is irrelevant, effective is everything, and you determine what is effective.
- Interestingly, when you talk to billionaires, they don’t talk about the mechanics of things, they don’t talk about money, they don’t talk about systems and processes, they talk about vision. That’s ultimately what they know that through the right vision impact was made. Mastering mechanics does not change the world, having a certain amount of money does not change the world, and it certainly won’t leave a legacy.
- I’ve done a lot of radical and unreasonable things, so I know the truth about facing fear and what luck really is. Luck is not when preparation meets opportunity, luck is when passion meets opportunity. You also have to dream and give yourself permission to play because play is easy and ease is excellence and excellence means you’re going to get rewarded well. Most people don’t connect those dots, they think working hard equals success and in my experience that’s just not true.
BEST MOMENTS
‘One of the core tenets of hip hop is about “show improvement”, it doesn’t matter where you’re from or where you’re at, don’t talk about it, be about it. I think that attitude is a beautiful thing for how most communities and societies should be based. Who cares about who or what you are, what are you contributing to?’
‘Who we think we are is just a story, are you happy with the story you’re telling about who you are, if not, let’s find a new story that has a new identity.’
‘I do drink my own Kool Aid, and the reality is that beliefs form behaviours and behaviours form outcomes.’
‘If you think money is going to solve your internal ‘stuff’, you’re sadly deluded.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Justin Cunningham supports business owners to step away from transaction, activity focused day to day operations and get them to focus on the 20% of true transformative activity that delivers the goals they actually seek. This enables business leaders to afford more help, and to do more high yield work, get back precious time and deliver the freedom and rewards business owners dreamt of when they first created their vision.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the interesting experience he had that day driving into the city to have a meal with a friend who was leaving the country and another one just arriving back in the country, and the pressure he created by imagining he was late.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In my mind, I was running late because I had an event to go to in the evening and I had a haircut booked in. All of a sudden, I found myself under a bit of pressure. What’s important to realise is that I’m creating this pressure and when you say it like that it sounds crazy, but you don’t think of it that way. Your mind thinks that the world is unfolding in a way that is working against you, but that’s untrue.
- I decided to swim rather than go to the gym, and I already had to cut the swim short, then the guy at the pool asked me if I had a swimming cap. I wanted to strike and show my frustration, who is he to tell me I can’t swim, I pay a membership, I’m a good member. Now I can’t swim or go to the gym and I’d been looking forward to this session and I noticed I was starting to blame him. I could have gone down a dark thought path and blame him (why not? He’s right here in front of me and is stopping me), but that’s not the truth, the truth is I’m looking for someone to blame because I don’t want to accept responsibility myself.
- I was allowed to use the sauna and while I was in there I decided that there was nothing stopping me from doing my gym workout there. I was completely unprepared to go to the gym, even though I thought I was, but the outcome I got was down to my awareness of allowing the day to spiral and go into a bad mood or I could win the day by changing my perception. I came out of the gym feeling invigorated, I got to my haircut on time and I got to my event on time. My day could have been so different.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s sad that we’re willing to let our ego win the day and blame someone for our own misgivings/shortcomings. Take the power back.’
‘I can make this a bad day. Instead, because I have a heightened sense of awareness, I was able to notice this conversation going on in my head and where it was going to lead me.’
‘Awareness is a practice. How much dedication and commitment you are willing to put to that practice will determine your results.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Emmanuel Enime, a character coach, and Gavin deep dives in getting to know Emmanuel and what a character coach is.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The goal of a character coach is to develop their pupil so well that they can drop that pupil into any planned environment and they can remain loving and productive in any environment, no matter the day, no matter the hour. Character is those inner parts of a person that are present and active across all environments throughout life. It’s a conglomerate of many things: Perfectionism, messiness, hope, joy, peace, love, patience, forgiveness, unforgiveness, doubt, fear, bad planning, daily scheduling. All of these things come together to make a person’s character.
- Examine the lives of Gladys Elwood and Amy Carmichael and see how they remained persistent in their tasks and especially with the kids they adopted. Amy Carmichael was in India and started a complex for abandoned kids. Glady Elwood from the UK went to China and also had an impromptu orphanage, in some cases kids just showed up. They went through some things in order to take care of those kids so that unconditional love, but also having the persistence and tenacity to keep going and to keep helping in the difficult times. It’s possible that the more I talk or that I even let people know that the pinnacle, that height of character development, is possible, the more people understand that and start to focus on perfecting those inner parts of themselves.
- This life is a game and built into this game called life is difficult and tragic. We have an opponent in this game called life and he’s going to strive to take advantage of a situation where he can fan the flames, especially in a situation where a person has unforgiveness, he’s putting thoughts into their mind so that something rash comes out of their mouths. Be very mindful of any exchange that you get into, be careful with your speech to avoid even entering into this sort of situation. Go into situations with the posture of forgives and patience to try and hear the next person put, that takes practice to get to that point, many different conversations with many different people can help you get to that point.
- The one thing that has helped me is to keep in mind this mindset: “I’m gonna keep getting better each time”. You didn’t nail it? Get better at the next conversation, and the next one, and the next one. This keeps me from letting perfectionism choke out my performance. In my past, perfectionism would cause me to lose hours of my time trying to get things just right, but you’re choking out your performance. Sometimes, I’ll intentionally leave a mistake in there.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Everybody can have their character perfected, forged and tested through the fires of life and step up another level each time.’
‘When I type, I refrain from using auto-fill. If you’re rushing, you’re going to make some errors, this helps me with speaking slower and influences me to pause more whenever I speak and think about how to say things so that they come off very palatable, or even say them at all.’
‘Singing in public can help with anxiety of public speaking, it helped me overcome the opinions of other people.’
Conversations are a dance. To get good at dancing you have to practise.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Emmanuel Noble Enime's mission is to help people stay strong, stable, and hopeful - even in the darkest of times. Through mindfulness and intentional character development, Emmanuel teaches people how to defend their joy and succeed in this game we call life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Joy represents time with people you love, that love you and are supportive of what you do and who you are. Bring more of those people into your life.
- Getting out there and doing things you don’t usually do are fun. So, get out there and do more of the things that you’d like to do that you don’t do.
- While we’re cooking we can be creative which feeds that part of our soul, but we’re also giving to the people eating with us. When you give to people, that sense of reward is not only fulfilling but joyful.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Building a snowman with kids, you’re rolling back the years, having good, clean fun. You’re passing on tradition, knowledge, wisdom.’
‘Sit back, rest, relax, and reflect there’s joy in that. In that reflection we can find the cookie crumbs to move towards our goal in the forthcoming year and acknowledge our achievements of the year gone by.’
‘You rock your world and the people around you.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When I started out I was seeking information and really wanted to work on myself. I Googled and found Bob Proctor. When I saw him on TV for the first time in 2005, I thought: “This guy is crazy!” He was saying you should kiss your hand each morning when you wake up, which I thought was odd, but still something inside of me thought it must be Bob Proctor. So, I signed up to his coaching programme and it was amazing, all this information was completely new to me but it resonated a lot with my thinking. I enrolled and I haven’t looked back since. It’s a whole new world.
- I grew up in East Germany, it was very restrictive. My father has battled with alcoholism for 45 years and my mum was suicidal, so I was always looking for a mentor or a coach – especially after watching the film My Fair Lady, Professor Higgins is a mentor to Eliza, teaching her how to build up her self-image, how to conduct herself, how to speak, how to eat, this is what I was always craving. As a child I suffered from a low self-image, I was scared to talk to people and I didn’t choose the best friends, I wasn’t very confident. Now, I don’t have an issue with talking to strangers, or coming on a podcast talking to you through a screen.
- It’s all about energy. That’s key. Unfortunately, we don’t learn about these things in school, we learn so many things, but we don’t learn or study ourselves. How would you be able to really change results in your life if you don’t know who you are? In the end we are the only solution to our problems, and we are the only cause of our problems in life.
- What are your goals? What is your vision in life? Zone out from all the present circumstances, they are there but you need to first tune in to what you really want. How can we have a meaningful life on this planet if we don’t have a goal that is worthy of us? People might train for a marathon for a long time, then the marathon happens and they realise that wasn’t the goal because I made it, it’s not about achieving goals, it’s about who we become. Go for a goal you’re burning with passion for. The goal is supposed to scare the shit out of you because you don’t know how to do it.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I was always interested in a growth mindset, but I wasn’t in an environment where people would have been able to cater for my needs.’
‘We always think it’s only mindset studies, but the truth is the more we invest in ourselves, the more we enable ourselves to really invest our energy into something that really builds the kind of future in the present moment that we want to have.’
‘Whatever we think about at any given moment is going to determine what’s going to happen in our life.’
‘Why are you here on this planet? There’s a reason we’re all here, what do you want to build out of it? This is our privilege.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- For whoever wins the competition there are bonuses including a one-on-one session with Des and a show reel made by his professional team. To have somebody to offer support and someone who is in a position that I want to be in would be a huge step forward for me.
- I dropped everything, I reached out to people across three time zones, I reached out to people I hadn’t spoken to in 20 years, I reached out to people that only came across my path for a very short period of time, I reached out to everybody. In no uncertain terms I said “this is what I want to do, will you please help me, I need your vote”.
- I don’t know the results yet. I know I got the most votes and Des is choosing the top five people and will interview them to decide which one he resonates with the most, which one he feels he can help the most, whatever his process is. In the meantime, I’m busy, but I’m excited/enthusiastic/in a positive mood. The outcome doesn’t matter. The less you respect the actions in front of you, the more they’re going to show up.
- If the worst thing that comes from this is that I caught up and connected with all of you beautiful people, then wow, what a great six days I’ve had. Aligning my desires and ambitions with my truest nature and asking for what I want in return, that’s how you campaign, by getting people to side with you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I want to be more connected with each other, I want to feel each other’s resonance, I want to feel the vibration from every single person.’
‘Motivational speaking is where it’s at, on the stage.’
‘When people are in line with you, you tend to get where you want to go.’
‘Rejection is just a redirection of where you want to go.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Rick Ruppenthal, a retired paramedic who came across the Three Principles in 2017 and saw them as the missing link between thriving or just surviving in an industry filled with chaos and uncertainty.
Since joining the 3PGC Apprentice Programme, Rick has turned his attention more to the mental health and wellbeing of responders and others who feel disconnected.
Rick is the founder of the Unbroken Hero Project, dedicated to bringing mental wellbeing to those who serve in the military, medical, fire and police services.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Being a paramedic is filled with experiences, some could be classified as good, some bad. I didn’t ask or look to be a paramedic, it wasn’t on my bucket list, but being a paramedic turned out to be my calling. But after being talked into it and completing my training, the very first patient I treated, I reached down and touched this lady’s radial pulse and something sparked in me and said “you’re in the right profession at the right time, this is for you”, and I took it as a gift and ran with it for the next 30 years.
- I noticed some people that were not thriving [like I was], they experienced the same scenarios but were having totally different experiences. Some coped with them in far different and not healthy ways. Towards the end of my 30 years, I got into the educational department, and I wanted to work on programmes that would change mindsets around understanding why people weren’t thriving. One of the things I discovered was that we don’t teach soft skills, coping skills, mindsets, feelings, we teach content: You see something you deal with it.
- We live our experiences through the feelings of our thinking, it’s inside out. As a society, and particularly around the culture in the service, we really don’t have a grasp on our feelings. In fact, I think we have a phobia of our bad feelings that, when we have upsetting feelings, there’s a misunderstanding that we must do something about them, that there’s something wrong with me when I’m having them.
- What if we are already more than equipped for failure, we just forgot about that? We have innate health and wellbeing within us, we have the ability to talk ourselves out of that space, through all the chatter and all the noise of the content of our thinking; the judgements and the meanings that we put on things. When we let go of that, we naturally fall back into that space of wellness, where resilience really lies.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When I first started, post-traumatic stress was not an acronym, we called it burned out, shell-shocked. And we didn’t know how to deal with it, it comes with the job, what were you expecting?’
‘People are always doing the best they can with the level of understanding they have at the moment.’
‘We have a very high suicide rate among responders, across the world. We’re in the top 10 of professions with high suicide rates globally.’
‘F.E.A.R. is False Emotions Appearing Real.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
I am Rick Ruppenthal, retired paramedic with 30 years of service and now a Mental Health Educator, Transformative Coach/Mentor and Certified Change Practitioner.
When it comes to our mental wellbeing and peace of mind there is only ONE PROBLEM – psychologically, we get caught up in the content of our thinking and get lost in it.
THERE IS ONE CURE: Through an understanding of who we are, how minds work, and where experiences come from, we wake up from it. A deeper knowing rises up and we become resilient, and feel better.
My mission is to bring hope to all military and first-responder personnel who are suffering and/or not coping well, by introducing a non-prescriptive mental health understanding called the Three Principles Understanding. This understanding has remarkable results in offering well-being, peace of mind, and resilience to those suffering from diagnostic labels for mental distress, including PTSD.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the idea of bitesize like how Tik Tok became popular which made all the other social media platforms introduce things like reels and stories. We’ve gone from taking in information over hours to a very small fraction of time. Some information works this way and some doesn’t.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some speakers at events that speak for a long time probably should talk for less time, and some that talk for less possibly should talk for more. Perhaps increasing the number of speakers all speaking less would be better? By crunching them we create bite sized information sharing.
- Amy Dad used to spend almost 3 hours driving to and from work. Working from home one or two days a week you’re gaining those hours back. As an employer it’s a very healthy thing to do. Agree on the right mix with your employer. Don’t be greedy though, be realistic, be progressive and more than anything be truthful.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You should have A, B and C type goals, but we all only really remember the A type. Make sure you go after the C type first – smaller, more achievable, doesn’t promote overwhelm and procrastination.’
‘I’ve got a cold coming on, my body has allowed an infection in and now I’m not going to be at my best because I’m fighting an infection. Practice self-love, break the problems down into byte sizes.’
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve been in marketing for over 20 years and about 10 years ago I started my own agency and it’s only been in the last few years where I’ve started to integrate my own personal passion for growth and wellness into the business of marketing. Now, our agency truly specialises in working with brands who make an impact in the world with relation to food and wellness. Through this work we’re really able to help the people that are helping people to market their services, broaden their voice, acquire new clients and keep those clients for longer so they’re making a deeper and more sustained impact.
- I have two favourite categories of clients (don’t tell my other clients that!), on one hand we’re working with physicians in the practical medical space. These are doctors that are really working to identify a root cause inside someone – not just treating their symptom with a pill, but working on healing their system so that they are able to move forward in the world without pain, with relief from symptoms, in a more sustainable way that doesn’t involve short term fixes of pill after pill and side-effect after side-effect. Helping those physicians gain more patients and keep those patients longer has been really satisfying and impactful for them and meaningful for us. Also, we’ve been doing a lot of work with brands that are helping children understand how to make mindful choice about what they eat, building habits of choosing a healthy choice over a junk food choice when they’re young, and their brains are still shape-able so that when they get older they’ll be feeding themselves with things that are really fuelling their bodies and not allow them to over consume and suffer the effects of that.
- Change is cyclical, not linear. We live in a world where there’s a before and an after and people have this instant gratification mindset, they think “I’m going to buy/invest my time in this thing and then I’m going to instantly be different and reach that ‘after’ which is what I think I want”. But, really what happens in order to make that transformation, there’s a number of starts and stops, a few steps forwards and a few steps back, and the before and after pictures never show that process. What we’re saying, as communications experts to our clients is: When you can reconnect with people when they’re starting and stopping, that’s where you have an ongoing impact with people.
- One of the tools we like to introduce for our clients, certainly consultants and coaches and anyone in the service industry for the service of other people and their transformation, is this concept of a road map. When you have a new client, it’s important to manage their expectations up front, and perhaps that expectation can be in the form of a visual map. In functional medicine, quite often, there are ‘stages to change’, stage 1 is discovery, stage 2 is healing, stage 3 is a maintenance stage. If someone can start the new relationship understanding that path they’re less likely to feel lost in the process and less likely to drop off. By explaining your process in a visual and presenting the person with metrics along the way it shows them the quick wins on the path and they’re more likely to keep going.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re not addiction specialists, we’re not here to create behavioural change, this is what our clients are doing. We’re observing our clients in their work and helping them use communication to better express the benefits of the change and keep that change going with the people that they’re serving. We’re communications specialists.’
‘We help our clients widen their audience and communicate with those people in a way that connects with their mindset. Sometimes a little shift in perceptions can be life changing.’
‘When consumers understand that change is cyclical, they can go into it with the mindset of an experiment, not necessarily “I’m going to start this and ultimately I fail because I quit”. It’s that perception of failure I think that holds people back from the ultimate transformation.’
‘I had an epiphany recently because I’ve been agitated a lot and that’s not like me, I’m a pretty chill person. But, I’ve noticed that it’s been in direct relationship with my numbers and the financial goals that I’m setting for the business and my ability and inability to hit those goals with my team. My coach asked me how I’d show up to the world if I wasn’t constantly thinking about these numbers and how they drive my mindset, and I didn’t have an answer for that, that's all I know. I meditated on it and what I came back with was a new framework for how I measure success in my mind. I’ve always looked at success as making money/growing my team, but I shifted how I define success to how I allocate my time over the next 15 years. I want to spend more time on speaking at events and on podcasts and less time on my business and the monetary goals will support how I spend my time on things that excite me.’

In this year’s Christmas special episode of the podcast Gavin talks about how giving to other people is something we should perhaps think about doing more than just this time of year, because giving is such a wonderful and beautiful thing.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I want to encourage you to be more generous in giving, giving to charity, giving your time through volunteering, we should make that part of our annual intention setting upon review.
- Do something else that you only do once a year at Christmas time, when you give yourself undeniably, unconditionally, unequivocally to those around you. What I would like you to do is unquestionably, wholeheartedly and completely unconditionally, undeniably, unequivocally give to yourself. Give time to yourself, give space to yourself, give love to yourself, give self-care, give everything that is important to you/ Give yourself the time to learn, to gain wisdom, to improve your knowledge. Give yourself that time this year to go inwards, to reap what you sow, to go upon that magical, mystical, wonderful journey of going inside and really give to yourself.
- We live in a world where things are so defined and expected upon us and we expect ourselves to live and breathe and operate in those parameters. But, those parameters are built by other people. Today, at Christmastime, I’m asking you, encouraging you and hopefully motivating you to give yourself peace, give yourself peace of mind, give yourself content in your heart, give yourself love.
- My journey isn’t perfect all the time. I have ups and downs like everybody else. When I do have a downer, I’m open enough to say that today’s a bad day but this is what I’ve learned. I'm really grateful that I’ve had the awareness, this is what I’m implementing, I’m really grateful to have had this experience, and tomorrow will be another day.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Catholics give 10% of their earnings away to charity, and I think that’s a really wonderful thing.’
‘Don’t concern yourself with your mind, the inner chatter, the continual dialogue. Instead I want you to really feel in your heart and in your spirit, in your most soulful being, in your true essence, give to yourself that gift.’
‘The better we know, the better we can fulfil who we truly are. In doing so, we naturally get more fulfilment as humans.’
‘Learning is a lifelong lesson and it needs to be practised. Without that practice we can’t improve’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by executive coach and author, Terry McDougall, to talk about her wholesome approach to coaching as well as her specialties working with people who are successful but not satisfied.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I work with people who I call successful, but not satisfied. They tend to be high achievers and a lot of times have got to the point where they’re chasing that brass ring and they wake up one day and they feel that from the outside they look successful but from the inside they feel a lot of stress, anxiety, burnout, sometimes there may be problems with health or relationships. I try to help increase the overlap between professional success and personal happiness. We do this by shifting their mindset to realise that maybe there’s a better way of doing things than how they’ve been doing it up until now.
- As people rise within organisations, people that are good individual contributors will get elevated into management roles. Unfortunately, one of the things I’ve seen in my own career as well as many of the people that I’ve coached is that many companies do not have any kind of training around how to be an effective manager. People will oftentimes model management/leadership behaviour that they’ve seen other people use, which may or may not be effective, or they don’t really understand how to leverage all the resources that they’ve been entrusted with as they rise within the organisation and therefore try to shoulder a lot of the burden on their own or use ineffective leadership techniques (most of the time unconsciously) to try to motivate the people under them and they don’t get the kind of productivity out of themselves and their teams that is completely possible, but it’s almost as if they have blinders on to get it without so much grind.
- It can be a tug of war. If somebody’s resistant and you decide to pick up the other end of the rope and pull it to pull them forward, they’re just going to pull in the other direction. People can only motivate themselves. As leaders/coaches, we can give people the opportunity to decide to change or shift their mindset. What I do, as a coach, is hold up a mirror to show them what they’ve been doing.
- Most of the time, when people are given coaching by their organisation or they seek it out on their own, it’s because they are feeling some pain. They have a goal they’ve been trying to reach and they’re frustrated because they’ve tried everything they can think of to get there and it’s not working. So, they start to think “maybe there is another way”. At some point we have to flip the table and start looking forwards to what they want rather than back at what they’re trying to get away from.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It is possible to be more in the flow by learning some new skills.’
‘You have to shift the mindset to believe that your goal is possible.’
‘As humans, on a daily basis, we’re faced with challenges that sometimes knock us back and we have to travel roads that we’ve already covered. But, it’s really about realising that this journey never ends – there’s nothing depressing about that because if it ends you’re dead!’
‘Some of my worst experiences I’ve learned the most from and I’m the proudest of having survived and learned the lessons that served me better in the future from those experiences.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There was a ruler of the land, he had lots and lots of wisdom and people came from near and far to listen to him. Sadly, one day, this reputable, honoured, respected king – the ruler of his lands – died. But he had an insight and he used it to create 12 volumes of wisdom which would be presented to his son on his 18th The son curiously, almost with frustration, looked upon the volumes and said: “I don’t have time for this” and instructed his advisors to reduce the volumes to 6.
- The son wasn’t the king his father was, but he ruler his land until he passed and he too left his son the 6 volumes. As a teenager, the son became more and more involved in normal teenager behaviour rather than that of a king and he said to his advisors: “I don’t have time for this, make them into 3 volumes”. The advisors were in fear, how do you condense wisdom?
- Eventually the king was given the three volumes and he was astonished at what he learned and had come to understand in these three volumes. He thought of his father and grandfather and how hey too could have been party to the three volumes and could have saved time. Again, this king aged and passed and gave the three volumes to his son who was even more obnoxious with his teenage antics and lacking responsibility. He commanded his advisors condense the three volumes into one.
- The continued until the advisors were told to condense the universal wisdom into a single word. The word that the advisors came up with was “attitude”.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When I was growing up we had really big encyclopaedias from Reader’s Digest, really beautiful books. I can imagine all the information in those being reduced in the way the volumes were reduced in the story.’
‘This really was fascinating for me, this changed so much for me and I really hope you guys are on the edge of your seats.’
‘How you do anything is how you do everything. What is your attitude towards what you are doing in life? How do you intend to live? What is your attitude toward that intention? Are you happy in life? If not, start to practice gratitude, it is an attitude.’
‘I’ve been trying to transfer some of the things that I learned from my channel swim into other areas of my life, and one of the big things was discipline. When I was too tired, I swam, when I didn’t want to get into that ice bath, I did. Why? Because I had the attitude of being a winner, not being defeated, to show people that we are all capable of much greater than we believe, to raise awareness about plastic pollution in our oceans.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Brittany Welsh, a manifestation expert to talk about how we manifest and empowering people to manifest to create their ultimate reality.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some common mistakes people make when manifesting include saying you want something, like winning the lottery or being in a relationship with somebody. But they don’t realise that there are so many other universal laws that they’re not being the person that manifests that reality. They may be the type of person that wants to manifest that kind of reality, but they’re not the type of person who actually manifests that reality. To manifest that reality you have to embody a different version of yourself, you have to be someone who has different thoughts, feelings, and actions than you currently have because this current version isn’t manifesting what you desire.
- Manifesting is creating a physical reality, something we can see with our eyes, you have to take action to do that. Even inaction is essentially an action, you could be somebody who has paralysis (not literal: isn’t taking the steps to get what they want because you might be scared of failure), but that is still creating – manifesting – a moment in reality where you’re not taking that next step. You’re effectively being somebody who creates the reality where you don’t take the action. The reason we don’t take action is because of the unknown, they don’t believe or know with absolute certainty what they’re creating. We’re designed to be concerned about risk so that we survive, you’re going to feel uncomfortable, and that’s what’s preventing you, but you have to push past that discomfort because that’s where you embody the version… use affirmations to develop the belief that that’s an action you should take or that you trust yourself to take action and then you will feel inspired and with conviction it will feel good to take those next steps and action.
- Being in the present moment is beneficial to us because we don’t spend time being anxious about the future or depressed about the past. We actually then can bring awareness or consciousness to what am I thinking right now, is this something I want to think, how am I thinking about this, what am I doing? If you’re constantly bringing your conscious awareness to the present moment, the more often you do that the bigger impact you’ll have in creating that reality.
- We receive approximately 11 million bits of information every single second and our brain processes approximately 50 into our conscious awareness. When you tell your brain what to look for and you believe it’s possible, your brain knows what information to process. All that doubtful information or the ways in which you could screw up don’t even enter your awareness because your brain is a tool and you’ve programmed it properly. Be the version of yourself who creates that reality by having those thoughts, saying the affirmations until they’re beliefs and then you’ll feel inspired actions to read up on something in particular, it’ll just feel good.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You don’t just say it and it happens, there are so many different elements into it, this whole universe is so intricate.’
‘Action is required for manifesting.’
‘Every present moment is a creating moment. In each present moment what are you doing to create?’
‘When you push against that discomfort that’s growth. You’re learning the unknown, you’re questioning a belief, you’re converting an old belief into a new one. The more you have the thought “I’m successful” you’re weakening that old neural pathway and you’re creating a new, stronger one. The more often you can do that the old one will just drop off. When you feel discomfort you know that this is growth.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about ecstatic dance, a global movement which came originally from the ‘five rhythms’ to take you on a journey of self-discovery, rather than in today’s world where people are more used to using substances and chemicals to get to certain states.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- On the dance floor there’s no talking or interruptions of any kind, it’s just you and the other participants. Some people do their regular dancing, but others feel their way into freedom. Ecstatic dance is possibly one of the greatest forms of self-expression.
- When you’re on that dance floor there is no judgement to others, you’re meant to connect because you can’t talk with them, because you’re not meant to interact with them, there’s this kind of understanding, a created bond/connection. There’s no judgement. I always find something new.
- We’ve got five senses. The biggest ones we use when dancing is seeing and hearing. Yesterday, I could hear the beat and the music being played by a live orchestra rather than a DJ, it was spectacular. What I learned is that when something did happen, my eyes saw and that was processed to my brain and I made a judgement, I acknowledged that and there was nothing against that person who was running and hopping around rather than dancing. I’m getting better at dropping my judgement, but I’d forgot to drop the judgement against myself, worrying about what people thought of me.
- Before I hit the dance floor yesterday I asked myself what my intention was, and it was to release and relax, leave the grind behind and find the time to listen to my body, to hear my thoughts and to shake it all out. To remove judgement and toxicity and to get the body moving. It’s an amazing intention. I achieved all of that, no question.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I go to ecstatic dance to release and relax. Once you get out all that stuff that every day just grind you and binds to you, then you’re much healthier.’
‘Judgement on self is less helpful than judgement on others. First, we heal ourselves and then we can heal others. In order to not judge other people I need to stop judging myself first.’
‘Certain movements were working for me as I danced, I could feel them squeezing impurities out of my body, so I started to really embrace them and do them with more embellishment and creativity. It probably looked to other people that I was a creative dancer putting on a show.’
‘Ecstatic dance is great way to find the pathway of freedom and liberation of the self. True freedom comes from liberation from the ego.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I watched women at home growing up, starting with my mother who was a beautiful woman but she didn’t like having her picture taken because she thought she looked overweight. My grandmother also decided she needed to lose weight, she didn’t, she was gorgeous. She eventually choked on diet pills which perforated her through and she spent 6 weeks in the hospital. Then, I started working around the world as a model and I was really lucky to be working with the top 1% of supermodels in the world and a lot of them were doing drugs, were in toxic relationships, were cutting themselves, were bulimic or anorexic. I realised watching all these beautiful creatures treating themselves so poorly that it was probably something to do with a lack of good, healthy self-esteem. I needed to write this book. It’s an action plan to become the confident person you were meant to be.
- The book is more of a resource than a read. You can go back and read this book a couple of times during the course of your life and every time you should get something different.
- It takes courage to unlearn values you’ve been taught all your life and now live your truth and find out what works in my world, to level up the way you see fit. It’ll tweak some noses and trigger friends and family as you grow and move forward. But, it doesn’t mean you don’t love them any more or that you’ll never see them again, your value systems and core beliefs are shifting, morphing and changing and you’ll start to live your life for your own greater good.
- There are 4 pillars of self-esteem that I talk about: Look good, feel good, be good, and greater good. We all know we look pretty good when we look in the mirror and it’s a major factor to get your foot out the door. Finances, relationships, education, who you’re listening to and getting your information from and what are you buying into? Being good is what works for you to be a better person tomorrow than you are today. Greater good is nothing more than volunteering, paying it forward, paying back, working with charities.
BEST MOMENTS‘If your self-esteem isn’t intact and you’re not feeling pretty good about yourself by the time your feet hit the ground in the morning, you’re not going to have a good relationship with yourself, your co-workers, family, spouses, whatever, your relationships will take a hit.’
‘Women are extraordinary the way they are.’
‘We need to unlearn things we’ve been told from our tribes, our families.’
‘You don’t have to do huge things. Sometimes it’s just holding the elevator door for someone or helping a woman down the stairs.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the idea of bitesize like how Tik Tok became popular which made all the other social media platforms introduce things like reels and stories. We’ve gone from taking in information over hours to a very small fraction of time. Some information works this way and some doesn’t.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some speakers at events that speak for a long time probably should talk for less time, and some that talk for less possibly should talk for more. Perhaps increasing the number of speakers all speaking less would be better? By crunching them we create bite sized information sharing.
- Amy Dad used to spend almost 3 hours driving to and from work. Working from home one or two days a week you’re gaining those hours back. As an employer it’s a very healthy thing to do. Agree on the right mix with your employer. Don’t be greedy though, be realistic, be progressive and more than anything be truthful.
BEST MOMENTS‘You should have A, B and C type goals, but we all only really remember the A type. Make sure you go after the C type first – smaller, more achievable, doesn’t promote overwhelm and procrastination.’
‘I’ve got a cold coming on, my body has allowed an infection in and now I’m not going to be at my best because I’m fighting an infection. Practice self-love, break the problems down into byte sizes.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Usually, something in our past created a lack or inability to trust. When we look into our past we are often prone to repeating our past. I did it for a long time in my life and in my relationship.
- As a little girl growing up, I was physically abused. My mother would tell me “you’re dumb, you’re fat, you’re stupid, you’re ugly and no one is ever going to love you” from the time I could remember my mother speaking. I believed that for so long, but then I found a man that didn’t read the script and he was the one that helped me to break through to truly love and be loved.
- Sometimes we really need to be aware of and feel pain before we can move on. When it comes to trust that’s a huge thing because without trust you have no relationship.
- When someone shows us who they are, believe them the first time. I’m not saying there aren’t second chances, there always are – thank god my husband gave me 100 second chances – but it’s always up to you what you do with it as far as asking questions, having it put back on you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Logically we know things are true that our heart doesn’t always believe in.’
‘I decided I could choose and that I had the power to choose who I wanted to be tomorrow, and thus my journey began.’
‘You have to tell yourself the truth.’
‘I love giving people baby steps that will change their lives.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I had to go through the dark days when nobody was supporting me but my Dad and my brothers. Now, friends are sharing the podcast with people I don’t even know and I’m getting support from people all around the world.
- I’ve had an expert amount of training and I will not be beat as a competitor, it is my dream to conquer the Channel and swim it I shall, making it all the way to France despite the success of my last attempt of 16 out of 22 miles. With hindsight I could have planned or trained better, but I was still doing a lot of training. Whilst I kept swimming, if I’d been more prepared it wasn’t the best training because my body would have been in better shape and I’d have been more resilient to the health illnesses that I contracted.
- The one thing I didn’t practice was speed. I was all about getting in and not stopping till I hit land. I swam for 11 hours 50 minutes before my arms stopped working completely, I started getting hypothermia signs and I retired. People have swum the channel in 11 hours 50, so if I was faster, just maybe… Maybe I should have been doing some time training, not that I could have found the time to do it because it’s not just 8 hours, it’s all the nutrition, warming up beforehand, cooling down afterwards and stretching, it’s at least 12-16 hours.
- We’re so much better in collaboration than in competition. So many people have swum the channel. Call them, get some tips, get some help. Everything you need to prepare for has basically already been done. Make you plan, create your preparation schedule and share it with others, because sometimes we can’t see beyond or own perception. By adding their perception you’ll be adding a whole lot of value to your preparation plans and it’s going to assist you.
BEST MOMENTS‘I showed the non-believers that the impossible is possible.’
‘Preparation is all important.’
‘I was so disciplined, I didn’t let anything get in my way: Girls, friends, the ego tried to play tricks on me, but I never let it win once.’
‘You can’t practise enough.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I believe that if everyone had deeply nourishing love and intimacy that the world would be a better place, that there would be less fear, less war, more joyful people awakening on the planet. I’m a catalyst for the love evolution movement and I’m on a mission to reach millions sop we can change how we do relationships, create a new culture of happy, healthy, thriving relationships.
- It always starts with yourself. I see relationships as an opportunity for growth and evolution, really that’s what our relationships bring us. And then, of course, the bliss of deeply connecting. It’s a huge opportunity and it’s all about ourselves, it’s how we learn about ourselves, how we discover, it’s really a journey of self-discovery, discovering another and discovering how that connection can exponentiate our potential.
- Our relationships will bring up issues we need to address and areas we need to grow. I help people take a look at the patterns and dynamics. A lot of it is our old programming, we need to shift our old paradigms, there’s a lot of old programming we’re working with. There are 4 destructive patterns (some people have one, several or all of them) – that are super common that most people don’t even know that they’re doing and it’s creating disconnection between them and the people they want to connect with.
- Love is a choice as well as a feeling. We make that choice again and again. It’s not that complicated: What would love do? How can we be more loving? We know the answers to those questions, we know what would be more loving in this moment and how we could choose love.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s deeply fulfilling and moving. I love what I do because dramatic changes can happen.’
‘Life is all relationship.’
‘If we all shifted polarisation (the idea of right and wrong and being wedded to one and against the other) it would probably shift war.’
‘When we can change the subconscious patterning and the subconscious limiting beliefs and the negative beliefs we can change a lot.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You’re going to have days where you’re going to grind out self-doubt, when you’re not sure whether you’re going in the right direction and you have to continue. I like to believe that we’re all pioneers of our own lives, no one else is in control. So, if you find yourself time and time again saying “this is not the right time” or “it’s not scheduled in”, how many excuses are you going to allow/create/manufacture before you realise the time is now?
- The present moment is the time to take action for the thought of which you are thinking of acting upon. Without taking action towards your dream, the future version of yourself, you’re never going to have a great
- What do you create excuses about? What are they for? Why do you create them? You might be subconsciously creating them and are unaware. But if you explore and investigate you’ll find something and that’s where the answer will lie.
- What is it that you’re trying to control? How are you trying to control it? Why are you trying to control it? There’s so many great clues in those questions. If there’s anything you should take away from this episode it’s those three questions and ask yourself. If you can answer those questions you’ll be amazed what you will find.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Nothing really is impossible.’
‘There is no perfect time except the present.’
‘If you’re trying to force something you’re not in flow. If you’re in flow everything would happen at the perfect time anyway because that’s just how and when it’s supposed to happen.’
‘There’s no such thing as wrong or right, there is only what is.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In 2014 my 30-year marriage broke down and that sent me on the deepest of discoveries into myself and the role I’d played into the unhappiness that I’d created for so long. I’d spent a lot of years blaming my partner for all my misery (you might say rightly so, if you knew about all the toxicity within my marriage), but I had a role to play in that because of the choices I was making as I went along. For me, the real lived experience after my marriage broke down was where all the learning happened, not from books, not from what other people were saying, but from my lived experience. From my background in psychology I had the wisdom/knowhow of how to go back into my past to find where the negative self-talk began.
- I already had an internal voice from childhood saying it wasn’t safe to speak my truth. I grew up in a Catholic school and got hit by the nun teaching RE for asking what created God, so I learned that asking questions was dangerous. My mother was loving but was sensitive and didn’t like being questioned about things, so I learned to be quiet. This all affected my relationships into adulthood and made me feel miserable and unsatisfied and that I had no voice of my own. It’s not about blaming anybody, that’s just the way things were in those days, it’s about understanding where it all started and making a choice to choose differently now.
- I have a process called body scanning where if I feel a pain in my hips or legs for example (this is fear of moving forward) I breathe into that part of my body, with no other distractions, until I could feel that pain fully. I’d then drop myself into that pain and as I do I ask myself – my higher wisdom – what is it that I’m experiencing. The first thing that comes into your head is whatever the fear is that you’re experiencing (being invisible, financially insecure, whatever it is) then I ask what is it I need to do to change this. An affirmation or resolve with come to you and you should use that to put it into process.
- There’s a lot of sacrifices you have to make on the journey to self-love. But, once you’re on the other side and you’re living a life that’s fully from the heart, it doesn’t feel like a sacrifice anymore. You have to let go of some dreams, toxic relationships, you have to start doing things that bring you joy, you need to know what your values are, and you need to recognise when you’re doing things or being with people or in environments that go outside those values. Developing self-worth and self-love requires you to consciously give up a life that you’ve been living and start taking risks on and believing in yourself.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can’t change the past, it’s done, but you can choose to change the present.’
‘Be mindful when negative thoughts happen, recognise when it’s happening and learn to observe the thoughts without engaging with them. Our minds and thoughts create emotions, not the other way around.’
‘Know your values, set boundaries around what your values are all help to change negative self-talk, as does a daily practice of gratitude. I’m sure it changes your cells at the DNA level and your life becomes abundant and you start looking for things that bring you joy and rejecting things that go against bringing you joy and serving your highest good.’
‘You need to let go of the life you thought you wanted in order to have the life you deserve.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Ros McMaster:
After 30 emotionally abusive years together, my husband and I called it quits on our marriage. The separation triggered a deep need in me to investigate the role I played in attracting unhappiness into my life, and making the choice to abandon my own needs for so long. If I was ever to invite love into my life again, I needed to ensure that all the baggage I’d accumulated was unpacked, acknowledged, understood, and healed.
Armed with a psychology degree, and faith in my spirit team, I unpacked years of limiting self-beliefs and emotional trauma that had originated in my childhood, and throughout my adult life. What a blessing the separation turned out to be! Emerging on the other side of pain, I began embracing the lost part of myself , and moved more fully into unconditional love for self, and others. The deep levels of healing that I undertook, held me strong when I was later diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, then nursed my ex-husband until he passed away after his own diagnosis with cancer.
And now, I want to help you walk a path to healing and wholeness, so that you too can begin to love yourself. So that you too can attract the kind of love you desire to experience from others.

Gavin discusses the concept of Judgement Day, how it takes place far more regularly and often than we may believe, and how by reframing and realigning our judgemental tendencies, we can reduce negativity and fear.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Judgement Day takes place during every moment of every hour, every day. We all judge constantly. It can come in the form of self-judgment or the judgment we apportion to others.
- If we attract the things we are channelling and vibrating, that which we do not have, you will be less anxious and have less fear.
- The real importance comes from your own definition of the term. Use it as a guide to where you’re at, but not to define your level of success.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Judgement Day happens every day. It happens every hour of every day’
‘You should want to be at the top because it means you are growing into that person. Not simply because you want to be at the top’
‘Why do you start to believe, think, feel, that you are any less than they are?’
‘Judgement is the meaning we attach to something’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’m grateful for every single day because the headline I always give on my story is that I’m glad to be here today. I had a point in my life where I wasn’t going to be here, not because of things I did, but because my husband had complete control over me. They went to the extent of having control over my life and my death, which sounds kind of dramatic and harsh, but it’s what it was. I’m a survivor of what is classified as extreme domestic violence, not just talking badly to me and slapping me around, he took it to extreme levels where he controlled every waking minute of my life to the point he said he wanted to control every breath I took. There were two options: Let it define me for the rest of my life and live in fear, or take some of that back for yourself.
- I was diagnosed with depression and put on all sorts of medication, some which made me hallucinate because I wouldn’t sleep for days. While my divorce was going through I found a depression forum online and someone on there said “ I think you’ve been misdiagnosed, come out to Arizona, I’ll get into a doctor’s and we’ll see what’s going on”. So I flew to Arizona, met him and his family, went to a doctor and found out I’d been misdiagnosed with bipolar in England but what I had was situational depression. I got weaned off the 14 medications I was on. I felt like I owed this guy my life, I went from being a zombie to being able to function, he saved my life. I flew back to England and he started love bombing me, if you don’t know what that is it’s where someone does everything they can to express love to you so you get a serotonin high. He said he wished he'd proposed to me and never sent me back home so he got a lawyer to draw up some new visas for me and two days after my divorce came through I was back on a plane to Arizona and we got married.
- The first few months with this Southern gentleman were fantastic, it was like he was from a Hallmark movie, Hollywood, the ultimate romance story. A year into the marriage, I was working in retail sales and a customer kept me behind for about 15 minutes. By the time I got home I was probably 20-25 minutes later than normal. I walked in the door and he slapped me across the face because I was late. I was in shock. What just happened? Who is this person? He then started love bombing again, apologising that he never meant to, he was just so worried, thought I was in a car accident and I’d died. He then started talking about how his father abused his mother and that’s all he knew growing up and he never wanted to be that way and needed me to help fix him. That’s a trap we fall into, they tell us so much that we fall into it again and believe it’s just the one time and I can fix him, we can work together and make it better.
- It took me longer than it should have done for me to leave, by three months the physical abuse had become a daily occurrence. It progressed from hitting to choking until I passed out. He’d say things like “you were supposed to have behaved”, cementing that everything I was doing was making him react in these ways. He began isolating me from my family and friends. I was with him for 5 years going through nearly 4 years of abuse where I had knives pulled on me, my head held underwater, I had a traumatic brain injury from where he beat my head on a concrete floor until I lost consciousness and he got mad that I woke up because he thought he’d killed me. He had me believing that I was such a terrible human being that I deserved his ‘correction’. I started to hope he would kill me, as it was my only way out. A friend from work saw him hit me when I was getting out of the car one day and they contacted someone they knew to contact the police and helped me escape.
BEST MOMENTS‘I knew my first husband for years, from high school, and it turned out we were better friends. Plus, we discovered religion in our marriage and they put a lot of emphasis on marriage and expectations and how you were supposed to behave and it drove a wedge and we divorced amicably.’
‘The question everyone asks about domestic violence that really makes me mad is “why didn’t you leave?” It’s not apparent from the very first date, I never saw it coming.’
‘What I can ‘positive control’ is manipulation through positive actions. For example, I put something on to go to dinner and he’d say how stunning I looked but the next week I’d put something else on and he’d say I look nice but you looked beautiful in that dress from last week, why don’t you put that on? Before I knew it he was picking out all my clothes, what I wore to each location and never using negative language.’
‘I was told that I was a cherry blossom – when the blossom and the leaves fall from the cherry tree even its bark turns grey. This is because they’re digging the roots deeper so they can grow stronger for the next season.’
ABOUT THE GUESTKaren Hewitt: I really get what it feels like to be that wallflower, to feel fake, and have to sleep for hours after any interaction with another human being! Because I have gone through this journey, investing in growth. I am now offering you the path already laid out so that hopefully, we can remove many of the obstacles I had to stumble through! I know we can work through those moments of self-doubt, that comparison we often have, and achieve greatness.
With all this history and passion I created my coaching programs, courses, and podcast training to help you make that life you have been dreaming of. All without feeling fake, exhausted from being someone you are not, and leaning into your hidden gifts.
I have found that so many of my clients come from diverse backgrounds and situations that it is truly inspiring to watch their strengths show through and begin to have that aligned authentic life and business! Where they wake up passionate, intense, intune, and ready to take on the world in their own particular way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Moving from Kazakhstan when I was 10 made me realise that home is where you are, not necessarily where you’re born, that’s just pot luck. I was young enough to still be mouldable and to adapt quickly to new cultures, language and environment but old enough for trying to be more aware of making friends.
- Most of the people that have had an effect on my journey and myself, the one thing in common they’ve had is that they’re stern, fair and kind. It’s all about love and love comes in many different ways. I was told by a teacher in Kazakhstan that if you like and are passionate about something it’s easier to pursue it. When I came to England there was one teacher who tried to push me more towards sports to help me find my feet, some people need encouragement to unlock their potential.
- The beauty of the technological society that we live in now is that knowledge is so easily accessible. You release a podcast and it’s available for anyone to listen to at any time. You can find out through people’s books what traits powerful people have in common, what makes you happy and focus on that rather than what society says success is. This new information provokes you to think, they don’t make you think a certain way, they ask you ‘why’. That has a bigger affect on human minds than most religious dogma.
- We all have, or have had our vices, but it’s all about understanding where they come from. Habits are very potent mechanisms to make you do something without thinking but, when there’s a chemical component that magnifies that habit, it makes it even stickier than you thought it would be. I didn’t start smoking weed until I was 30 and now I’m not dependent on it to go to sleep or think, I don’t wake and bake. I use it to access a portion that I don’t normally because of overthinking or being too busy, it allows me to sit down and think, the ceremony around it – the same as pouring a scotch – allows me to just be, and that’s a hugely positive thing, just being.
BEST MOMENTS‘My Mum taught me English from a very young age, I said my first word in English when I was about three.’
‘Travel and moving continents, let alone cities, makes you more open and accepting of different people’s mindsets and cultures.’
‘You absorb so much from your friends without knowing. Show me who your friends are and I’ll show you who you are.’
‘If you’re surrounded by people who read, who teach, who learn, who practice mindfulness, the last thing you’re going to do is freak out at someone disrespecting your trainers or whatever.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about FOPO – the fear of fear of other people’s opinion – and how many of us are aware of other people’s opinions of us, and what does that mean for the decisions we make?

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some people might wonder what their boss thinks of them, they like to believe their boss thinks highly of them but that might not be the case. That doubt can lead you to make certain decisions or take certain actions in order for them to see you in the light you would like them to see you. All of a sudden, when you’re trying to be seen in the light by somebody else, in the way they would like to see you, you aren’t showing up as your most authentic self. If you’re not being your most authentic self, who are you really being?
- I see so many people doing what other people want them to do because of the fear they have of those other people's views, thoughts, and perspectives of them. What’s going on in the world? We may as well be other people’s robots – or hubots. We are controlled by other people, we are the prisoner of those people, we are giving them power. We must take the power back, liberate ourselves and continue to enquire.
- The world has made us think in such a strange way for many years and it’s time we all changed that, it’s time that we all raise our awareness, it’s time that we generate a new, really high level consciousness amongst all of us. Everything will become different, perspectives, happier, healthier, more enjoyment, more fulfilling, greater content, all these are things that all human beings should want and have the desire to enable, empower, create, design and have in their life. It’s completely achievable, but you have to rewire and re-wire and rewire your mind.
BEST MOMENTS‘What is your nature? What are your beliefs? What are your values? What are your goals? Your dreams? Your ambitions? Who really are you? Are your goals and desires made up from somebody else’s desire for you? If they are, have you been kidding yourself all this time? What really are your dreams and ambitions?’
‘If you post something on social media and it doesn’t get the number of likes you wanted, do you start worrying that you should have posted it, should you have posted something else? What a mess we get ourselves in.’
‘All you really have to do to liberate yourself is to be yourself.’

In the second part of this two-part episode Gavin is joined by David Bettenhausen and Carla Bogni-Kidd whose experience and unusual, somewhat mystical skill all started from meditation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Meditation increases serotonin and dopamine, which are the same medications we give people with depression, it lowers cortisol. When I started to meditate I started to lose weight, in fact I lost over 100lbs over a year. We found it lowers blood sugar, lowers hypertension, makes you relaxed and calm, you sleep better because it increases melatonin. We found that during the period of meditation you actually have a hyper-sense of memory because it increases alpha and theta waves in the brain.
- We were both raised Catholic and I had a questioning mind. Just going to church and being told to believe and have faith just wasn’t enough for me. Through meditation Dave started communicating with my Mother, we didn’t know that could happen and I wondered why she didn’t come to me?! She had died 18 years before and he had never met her, but picked out the dancing shoe she had shown him and got very emotional when he saw a picture of her. This took our interest and we started wanting to do nothing but meditate and wondered who else we could talk to.
- Another time I was meditating and I looked across the room and suddenly I’m in a dark alley looking at Carla. It wasn’t quite Carla, but I know it was her, she was younger, had blonde hair, wore a gold band and a fringed skirt. Then there were two large flashes and I realised I’d been shot, it threw me to the ground and I was dying in this alley. I didn’t know what any of it meant. The next day I meditated again and got more of the story: I met this woman at the wedding of a man named Angelo on January 10th 1925 in Chicago. I asked her to go to breakfast the next day, she told me her name is Ruby Donaldson, her father’s name is James, mother’s name Anna, and she’s from Bulloch Georgia and she moved to Chicago to become a dressmaker and a singer. I still didn’t understand what this meant. Carla went on ancestry dot com and looked up Ruby Donaldson from Bulloch Georgia, the daughter of James and Anna and one of 11 children. Then I found newspaper articles from the wedding of Angelo Jenner, her boss, to Lucille Spinolla on January 10th 1925. There were pictures of the wedding cake, it served over 3000 mobsters as Angelo preceded Al Capone in the mob in Chicago at the time.
- The other thing that can help you here, which has a basis in neuroscience, as far as consciousness and subconsciousness. We start to look at the way we learn lessons – if you touch something hot it burns you, the next time you touch something hot you pull back faster – if you had a bad experience in a past life (say, being shot in a dark alley) you’re going to try and avoid being shot by mobsters in a back alley in future. There are certainly lessons from the past that can protect you, even if you can’t exactly remember them, you pull them up from the subconscious. That’s where altered states of consciousness – meditation, hypnosis, the time between wake and sleep – are times where people have these experiences, because they have heightened alpha and theta waves in the brain, increased endorphin release and those things will cause a reaction and a memory.
BEST MOMENTS‘Dave’s spirit guide, Isbella, was feeding Dave information. She said: “Most people know what the 10 Commandments are, but I can give you a shortened version that’s easier for everybody to remember – in order to get off the wheel of karma we should live a life without conceit, selfishness, jealousy, and unforgiveness. We should do everything in love and compassion because, unless you learn that, how else can you truly love anybody and find your way back to God? With reincarnation you return to learn those lessons because you didn’t reach your potential in life, so you came back again”.’
‘We’ve found 29 past lives together. Not just in a romantic way, I’ve been his sister, his mother, we’ve been neighbours, school chums. In each one of these stories there was a lesson to be learned, there was a reason we didn’t reach our potential and we had to come back to another life. We’ve been doing this for over 6000 years. We’re still learners apparently!’
‘If we’d all learn lessons from history, whether it’s your past lives’ journey or even from history alone, you can start to improve the future.’
‘If you believe in reincarnation, like we do, there’s really no need to feel jealous, selfish or unforgiving, there’s enough to go around. We’ve all been kings, queens, rich, poor, black, white, saints and sinners, we are infinite human beings.’
ABOUT THE GUESTDavid Bettenhausen and Carla Bogni-Kidd are like-minded souls. They have been close friends since 1998. The two have a spiritual kinship that has taken them through 29 past lives together.
The story they tell in The Gift of Past Lives with Mother, Isabella, God and Elizabeth aims to liberate people from the traps of conceit, jealousy and selfishness and choose love in all actions.
David Bettenhausen
Dr. Dave serves as the vice president of medical affairs at a small Midwestern hospital. Whether he is at the hospital or his private practice, he daily coaches his patients about their well-being mentally, physically and spiritually. He believes in a holistic approach to life and regularly lectures and conducts discussions with groups of patients and physicians on healthcare. He has a personal interest in the stages of grief with death, dying and spirituality. Before he entered medical school, Dave practised as a registered nurse for ten years.
After years in private practice as a physician in Ohio, Dr. Dave was approaching personal burnout. He had always valued being a positive example to his patients, and as his life became less joyful, he felt he was no longer doing that. He had weight issues, and his life was spiralling downward. Carla, as his office manager and friend, was the vessel that carried Dave to meditation and the ultimate healing of himself. Meditation led both of them to an encounter with a set of wise spiritual beings known as Mother, Isabella, God and Elizabeth, which revealed many past lives to Dave and Carla. Through the insights Dave received during meditation, he underwent a personal transformation and regained his sense of self, which led to a weight loss of 116 pounds. He again found his joy in practising medicine and with his patients.
Carla Bogni-Kidd
Carla Bogni-Kidd has been on a lifelong journey of spirituality, always seeking her purpose and very often serving as a vessel for others’ journeys. The theme running through her life has been to help others—that is where she feels the happiest.
Carla is quite comfortable speaking with people about their innermost feelings and challenges. Her closest friends have often referred to her as their personal counselor.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I thought I’d do a series called ‘Personal Stories’, so people could get to know me better outside the work I do. Just talking about things that have happened to me in my lifetime. I made a video and sent it to a friend of mine who was there when that particular story took place, I thought he’d find it funny. He texted me back and said the file was only a minute long. A rage built up inside me and I asked “why does this always happen to me?”
- The more I get frustrated and the angrier I get, the more belief I build that I’m not good with tech/computers/phones, I’m building that negative energy time and time again. SO, I stopped and thought about attracting better energy. I said: “I’m so grateful, technology, for you advising me that I had not gone about the algorithm, the input in the correct way. I’m so grateful for you highlighting this for me. I’m going to go back and find out what my mistake was, I’m going to learn from my mistake and then I’m going to repost it with the full version.”
BEST MOMENTS‘I’m technology compatible, not technology compliant.’
‘If I had this belief that I’m not tech compatible for years, and every time a little tech hiccup occurs, how big must that negative energy be? That’s what attracts me. Now I’ve got this new awareness I can start to take little chips off that mountain until it’s a level playing field. Then I’m going to raise the bar and I’ll be on top of that mountain looking down at tech.’
‘I’m smiling because I know there’s a change in the direction of the wind.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Narcissism causes people to create their own reality that is completely independent from all the facts that are presented and they think they can do whatever they want no matter what. You’ve either got ‘Prince Charming’ who has a very dark side, or you’ve got an entitlement mentality where individuals think that because Daddy’s the King or Mummy’s the Queen or a big hot shot attorney or doctor, that they do not have to grow up and there are no consequences for their actions. A lot of this is down to the parents.
- We live in a world where we can look up the answer to any question, we can have food delivered to our doorstep in 15 minutes through our phone. Everything is about convenience and convenience is the opposite of excellence. In any situation or decision we make, we have two paths that we can go on; the easy path that feels good in the moment, which leads to a declining set of outcomes, and the harder path which is the right choice to take because they lead to better outcomes. Every day there are 4-5 decisions that determine the outcome for that day as a whole, and when you add up good days after good days you get good weeks, months, years and you ultimately can build a great career and a spectacular life by making those little difficult decisions.
- I’ve been successful in my career, I have the opportunity to give my kids things they did not have – partially because of technologies that didn’t exist, partially time and attention, going places and doing things. It’s in our nature to want to share that, to give it to our kids, to have our children have a better life than we had and to avoid some of the hard work and pain that we had to go through. But, it’s that hard work that made us who we are. We missed meals and we struggled, when I first built my businesses I didn’t know where my next pay cheque was coming from and there was risk and sleepless nights. We want to avoid this for our kids because we love them, but there’s this balance between loving them and making them independent, well-functioning members of society and the pendulum swings back and forth. Unfortunately for society it has swung so far to the ‘make things easy for them, coddle them, bubble-wrap them’ that it has produced a generation of kids who can’t figure stuff out and have never had difficulty.
- We need to make things more difficult. If you touched the stove when you were little and it was hot you learned never to touch the stove again. If you did something stupid you either got your butt paddled, you got in trouble or you got a small scar for it and you learned your lesson, you failed a test, that was on you. Kids need to stand on their own much earlier and make little mistakes before they grow into big mistakes.
BEST MOMENTS‘Problems are generally derived from people.’
‘Too many parents make life hard for their children by trying too zealously to make it easy for them.’
‘Convenience kills, it is the opposite of excellence in the long range.’
‘People are never bored because of the constant stream of distraction and entertainment, so they don’t learn to figure stuff out on their own.’
ABOUT THE GUESTJoe Templin has led an eclectic life.
As one of six kids (the only normal one, he insists) growing up in a small town and spending time on the family farm, Joe’s parents (John and Barb) instilled a love of learning, the outdoors, and a healthy disrespect for authority while still simultaneously embracing traditional values of hard work and “love thy neighbour but mind your own dang business.” This is Joe’s foundation.
He was severely asthmatic but through his work ethic and love of challenge has become a martial artist and ultra distance runner. He had a speech impediment but has built a career around communicating. This habit of overcoming limitations is a theme in his life and his writings.
Joe has three hooligans (Danny, Liam, and Colin) and is a very proud member of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, having served multiple times as President of his local Foundation and Chapter Advisor. He has also served on the local, State, and National levels for NAIFA, is a Cubmaster (worst one ever if you ask his boys), and is involved with his local Autism Society. Serving others is important to Joe, because of how his parents raised him.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- From the very minute we’re born we are conditioned. It’s not our parents’ fault, they just want to love us, but in doing so the human element of nature, of survival has been lost. When we get to school, we get gold stars for doing well in class, a reward for being good, for paying attention, for focussing, for not creating havoc. We’re offered things to reward good behaviour – more conditioning.
- I set out with the goal of swimming 15km today and I only managed 9.72. There were currents that really held me back and darkness crept in and I had no lights with me so I called it a day. My brain was telling me at the 7th km “you’re in pain, stop what you’re doing, don’t worry, Mummy will look after you, you’ll be OK.” More conditioning. Is pain such a bad thing? In endurance sport certainly not.
- Things are being made easier for us all the time, like supermarket self-checkouts, we’re being conditioned to live an easy life. That’s because they’re intending for you to live a life they want you to live because you are so conditioned. What is the life you want to live? Do you know, or are you living out somebody else’s ideologies? I’d say 70/30, most of you are living out somebody else’s ideologies. I’d love to be wrong.
BEST MOMENTS‘Daz tells you to put in two scoops of washing powder instead of one. Why? Is it because they want you to run quicker, so you have to buy some more Daz washing powder, or have they actually done a survey and they’ve seen that two scoops is definitely more effective? Which one do you think it could be? They are conditioning you through their marketing.’
‘If you’re curvy, that’s the same as saying ugly or obese. If you’re disease-ridden there must be something wrong with you. More conditioning.’
‘It’s all about conscious choices. Are you making your choices with consciousness, are you making them consciously?’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The warning pictures printed on cigarette packets aren’t pretty but they aren’t effective. After buying 2-3 packs you just get used to seeing it. I think that ‘anti-advertising’ maybe has an effect on small children, but not for people who already smoke. People aren’t stupid, everybody knows that when you put something toxic in your body it will create damage to you.
- We don’t get out of beg planning to break your leg, we all get out of bed with the intention of doing something good. Even a bank robber has good intentions for himself – consequences are something else entirely. People who smoke do so for reasons which are different for everyone, some habitually smoke – to speed up time when I’m bored, to make food taste better, relieving stress from work, and whatever they say is true for them. When I work with clients I respect that. Everyone has a different gauge of what their health means to them and how important it is to them. What they need is a different input for after they stop smoking.
- I use tools from CBT to help ease cravings. On of the most powerful ones in the ‘pai scale’. We tend to catastrophise to show bad things that we don’t like to make out that they’re worse than they really are. In reality, they’re just things and events, our perception gives them value. My technique is to not give much value to that handful of dead grass that is a cigarette or the craving for it. Cravings are good, like the craving for food when we are hungry, when you feel a craving just say: “thank you, craving, I understand that there is a need that needs to be fulfilled and I will do this and that to achieve satisfaction”. We give a number to the craving from 1-10, 10 being unbearable, it’s unlikely to ever be a 10 – even if they say it’s a 10 – because 10 would mean death. If you’re still breathing there’s hope to reduce it from a 9 to a 1.
- NLP tools have really been a game changer in my life, that’s how I learned to design the life I wanted to live, how to do it and how to make it important for me to create goals that are mine, not somebody else’s, and how to create a mindset from the resources that I already had inside of me, in my subconscious mind, and to use them to achieve what I wanted to achieve. My grand goal was to help people through coaching. This is what I want to do with my life.
BEST MOMENTS‘The simplest way to stop smoking is to stop putting cigarettes in your mouth, the problem is what to do after this because the brain instantaneously looks for something else.’
‘I get my clients to imagine doing and achieving amazing things but without holding a cigarette, rather than a no smoking sign, because our brains like to feel better.’
‘Addiction itself is programmed. You’re not addicted to nicotine, you’re addicted to dopamine. The brain is lazy and is always searching for shortcuts. It has figured out that with one shot of nicotine it can easily get a large supply of dopamine, but it doesn’t know that the habit is killing us. If we re-train the brain to think it’s going to get a hit of dopamine once a week, it’ll be happy with that, this is why some people can smoke only at the weekends in the company of other people.’
‘Life is happening and it doesn’t care what you want.’
ABOUT THE GUESTMy name is Rad Suvajatz, just like you I achieved everything people told me that is good to achieve: finished all the schools, got a steady and safe job, regular pay, but something was bugging me all that path. It felt wrong. like something was missing. In the beginning, I thought, it’s not a big deal, until one day it became i big deal.
Ever since then I started to learn to widen my views, took all the courses I could find in my home town until I finally found answers for my doubts and worries. And on my big surprise, the answers have been inside of me.
Suddenly I was proud of me for all of my accomplishments till that day, and I was ready to go after my mission in this life, and that mission is to help people with my knowledge to overcome their insecurities, using the things I learned and NLP Practitioner technics.
I have specialised in NLP technics that help clients work on achieving their goals, anchoring resources they need to achieve their goals, and removing the mental blockades that prevent clients from moving forward in their lives (fears, unpleasant experiences in past etc.) and implementation of desired behavior.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the troubles he’s had lately including ear trouble, sinus trouble, migraines and a ripped psoas in the lead up to his cross channel swim and what his mindset is about completing his cross-channel swim.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When I slipped last week and ripped my psoas my friend asked me if I felt OK. I couldn’t feel any pain, all that was going through my heart was: “Am I going to be able to swim?” I fell forward with all my weight onto a stone floor and I felt the pop. I’m only thankful to god, the universe, to my magnificent human form that it isn’t serious.
- Today is the first day I’ve swum in a week. There were signs that if I pushed it it would begin to niggle. But, I now know that with some physio in the next week, with some reintegration exercises, some soft tissue muscle work I’m going to be OK and back on track.
- Everyone’s saying you don’t have to do it, you can wait ‘til next year. What their mind says is at the first opportunity where discomfort arises, run, it’s time to quit. What happens in my mind is when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The swim is about impact, and the way I see it is if I don’t do the swim there will be no impact.’
‘It’s a recurring pattern: I get into the flow of doing things, I’m doing 1-3 hours, and just as I’m seeking to push my endurance something happens.’
‘I’m not going to quit now, I’m not going to quit on that day, I am going to successfully complete my challenge and return healthily.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My journey began in 2001, when I was 17, and I took a student exchange trip to the USA and met a guy who was into spiritual and mystical studies and studying all sorts of consciousness research methodologies and traditions. Then in 2003 I started to create my own meditations, visual transformations and to work with myself and in 2006 I started to help people around me to transform their lives and get out of the situations they felt so stuck in. in. In 2007 I founded my own coaching company and since then I had three children and since 2019 I founded my company called Quantum Transition that combines all that I’ve learned, applied and worked with into a new form of coaching service.
- Why I use ‘quantum’ is because the quantum field is for me what some people call God or the universe. It unites all of us, everything is frequency and anything is possible, all possibilities exist. Through my approach, people can make a transition of their personality where they access the infinite possibilities of the quantum field to implement into their lives a lifestyle where everything is possible and you can create the life you dream of.
- I’m convinced mankind is going through a vibrational shift and that vibration is rising. What we’re going through right now, with all the crises with the global situation is basically an opportunity. Structures are falling apart to make space for new structures and I really want to accompany humanity and all the individuals who feel attracted to me in that transitional process we are experiencing right now.
- It’s a mix of self-analysis and working with your thoughts and mindset, to see and reflect who they are. Then you go on a guided meditation that is designed for you to gain a deep connection with your subconscious mind so you can start implementing the seeds of reality that you see in your subconscious mind. This is what it’s all based on, the subconscious mind really drives us, the conscious mind only has a 5% influence on our lives. You need to programme your subconscious mind so you will ultimately achieve what you wish to achieve.
BEST MOMENTS
‘With energy healing I’ve helped a lot of people going through really intense things, physical problems, accidents. I’ve had so much success with friends and people around me that I had to bring this out to the world and help as many people as I can.’
‘It’s partly spiritual, but quantum physics is demonstrating spirituality on a scientific level.’
‘Your life will make a major shift. Whatever you feel stuck with right now, you will overcome it and you will be blown away with what you’re capable of, the facilities you have as a human being and you can expect to discover yourself and your possibilities. I cannot do miracles for you, you are doing miracles for yourself, I’m just guiding you.’
‘I call this an advanced energy technology. It’s a new technology that is coming to Earth right now. There have been energy healers before, but I started channelling this technique right as the crisis began in May 2020 and it was like I was taken to the essence, where my home planet is, where my soul comes from, my origin and they say to me: “This is your frequency and you’re going to take this frequency down to Earth and you’re going to bring the people who are open to it into this frequency and you will raise their energy bodies and make them transcend a lot of shit in a very very short amount of time”.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about desire by design being all about creativity because, after all, that’s what design is: Something that’s realised through creation, like a painting, a car, furniture.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- How strongly does your desire to design your life burn? Are you even aware of the idea? Is there an inner fire that just subtly flickers light, or is your desire by design a raging fire? Is it a fire that’s contained by bricks? Is it an out of control wildfire going across thousands of acres? Or is it simply the centrepiece of your friends, entertainment and the beach?
- People say all the time: “I desire a life where I can afford a private jet”, “I desire a life where I can fly my family out on holiday, not just my wife and children but my brothers and sisters and their children and my parents'', “I desire a life where I can live free and independent from the shackles of the status quo, meaning I don't have to have a job, I don’t have to have gone to school, I haven’t had to have looked a certain way”. What is it that you desire and have you designed it? If you hadn’t designed it then you couldn’t already be desiring it.
- You might actually have the desire but you don’t have the impetus, the true, genuine desire that’s so strong it makes you get out of bed early in the morning even if you’re a night owl. It makes you not watch television at night but allows you to research and read and analyse things. It burns so bright that you decide not to go out with friends for dinner one night but go to places where you can find answers. Answers that are going to lead you to the next breadcrumb.
- Whilst you’re going through a transformation and becoming the best version of yourself, and we are always evolving and always becoming a better version of yourself, it’s something that happens over time, not overnight.
BEST MOMENTS
‘How you’d like your life to look will be determined by your desire.’
‘Every act is an act of self-definition, including no reaction.’
‘Desire by design is all about breadcrumbs, and this takes a lot of self-awareness. The last breadcrumb you laid may have been one where there’s no reaction to a desire, and that in fact is a breadcrumb if you can see it is and that you didn’t react. Then it’s up to you to make the change.’
‘You need to shed belief systems imposed upon you that allow you to judge yourself, which is where resistance comes in that holds you back.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I gave up the corporate world 3 years ago to become a life coach. I wanted to serve and corporate life didn’t allow me to serve every day, so I needed to find a way to do something I’m passionate about while at the same time having a career. Also, I got a question in my head one day out of nowhere: Who am I in the world to have so much love and blessings in my life and what can I do to pay them forward? I couldn’t answer that question, so I knew I had to prepare myself to leave my old career and enter a new one.
- I’m very aware of all the support I’ve got, either from people that I knew or didn’t know at the beginning, and all the lucky events in my life. All those things have made me know I have a lot inside of me because I receive a lot. When we give we receive more. I always had a feeling that I had a lot to give. I’m always aware of my choices, my growth, and what I want in my life. Instead of trying to meet the expectations of others, I consciously plan each year for the next 5-10 years.
- To create clarity you first have to get clear on all the areas of your life because people talk about work/life balance, but it’s too general, there’s health, family, social life, personal growth, emotions, finance all to take care of. So, it’s not just work/life. Then look into each area and think back over the last 5 years what you’ve enjoyed and what you’re proud of and what you no longer want to carry on into the next 5-10 years. Then, the most important part is putting in place how you’re actually going to do it, how are you going to become that person living that vision?
- We need to start practising what we preach. Everyone’s saying we need to make a better world for the next generation, but what’s the proportion of our daily actions that are actually creating a better world for the next generation? I’m not perfect, I love to travel, but the intention is that I can be more aware of what I do, this is one thing we need to act on. I’m a girl, I still like beautiful shoes and clothes, but whenever I buy something I have got into the habit of asking myself is this a survival need or is this because I live in a civilised world and I have the money and desire to buy it? It’s good to have desires, but I usually tell myself, let’s wait 3-7 days. If my desire for it has increased I’ll probably buy it.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I got depressed at 23 because I’d achieved almost everything my parents and society expected of me as a Taiwanese and as a girl. I didn’t feel successful.’
‘I want to spend this life doing everything that I’m passionate about and that makes me happy.’
‘Everything we create now is an accumulation of habits. Put into place the habits that will get you to your vision, one day at a time.’
‘Passion is about something extra.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Shuang-Min Chang: My journey as a woman finding her own place and success in her original culture and out in the world was an unconventional one.
I was born and bred in Taiwan, a pan Confucius culture and moved through my childhood into university days checking every expectation the family and society had for me as a girl and as a person who was expected to "succeed." Right after graduation, I moved to Mumbai, India to start my career with one of most reputable Taiwanese companies.
While scoring everything outside, I found no anchor and identity inside. I was rotten inside. I started doubting everything I was taught about having a success and happy life and plunged into depression at age 23.
I prayed not to wake up every single night in vain for 6-8 months till a point I told myself either to kill myself or to pull myself up because I couldn’t stand living in that black hole anymore. I chose life and this was the beginning of my pursuit and growth in personal development & spiritual realm and the beginning of knowing myself. This was when I told myself that I would never live my life for anyone else ever again.
Then, I moved to Milan, Italy to pursue my childhood dream of working in Fashion. In a country I didn't know anyone or speak the language, I built everything from scratch, the career and my own identity. There were more challenges, especially when it came to getting my immigration papers; at the same time, I had to get my ends meet. Among the beautiful Mediterranean sunshine, delicious gelato, passionate language, I had my fair share of crying on the street and handing out hundreds of resumes with no result.
To a point, I had to decide again what kind of life I wanted to lead and what the priority really is in life. I took an offer from an Italian luxury fashion house and moved to Shanghai, China. At the time it seemed to be a compromise and only later I knew this was one of the best decisions I've ever made. While climbing the corporate ladder, I learned to “hack” time and life. With that demanding and fast-paced career, I also managed to reach my first best state of health & fitness; started writing again (2 articles got picked up by a well-known platform in Taiwan); got certified as a psychology counsellor in China; and learned a bit of French.
After 10 plus years in luxury retail and reaching the goal I set out for myself at 25 to be in charge of one of the biggest markets in the world in a prominent luxury maison with USD 6-figure income, it came the question, "What's next?"
With every expansion of life experience along with my career, I want more and I know it's possible to achieve more, not just professionally but in all areas in life. Most importantly, I want freedom, the ability to own my own time fully and I want to surf everyday.
I've learned from my own life experience, every success and realised dream started with a leap of faith with a clarity. I took a leap again in 2019, quit the corporate world and started out on my currently journey as a surfer, a writer and a coach, founded Freedom to Success program and supporting driven women who have career success with 6-figure package and yet, always put their work before everything to walk on a new path in this "win or lose" corporate environment and create success in their own terms by claiming their innate freedom & femininity, show up with love and dare their deepest and boldest dreams.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- What value do you learn from your sitting still experience? Most people will say “whatever ‘x’ TV show is about”, but those people that have an awareness and a greater level of consciousness are going to say: “I gained nothing”. It’s in that moment that you recognise that you haven’t gained anything, or that you are gaining very limitedly, the lesson is that there’s a more productive way.
- Ask yourself, is what you’re doing productive? For somebody that’s having a bad time and is aware that their mental health is not in the best state, is it productive to think negatively, to keep saying “I’m not in good mental health”? Perhaps it might be if you’re speaking to a therapist but, outside of those parameters, all it does is compound negative feelings. The way out of this is to positively choose to be positive.
- What’s a moment that comes to mind where you have been rash with someone (a loved one, bus driver, shop attendant, nurse, colleague, person in the street begging for help) in the last 48-72 hours and you wish you could have taken that moment back and acted differently? Go back and say that you love them or are sorry and talk out your differences.
- When you don’t get what you want, always think outside the box, and whenever you come across a stumbling block or an obstacle the best way is always through. Whatever you’re being challenged by, don’t waste a moment, accept the challenge, enjoy the challenge.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Making a habit of sitting is unproductive.’
‘Being more productive yields a more efficient path to what we want from life, or what we need in order to fulfil our desires, needs, ambitions, goals and dreams.’
‘Don’t waste a moment means going forth with the intention of not leaving behind any regrets.’
‘Moments battling the past are wasted moments.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I went into social work because I wanted to help people. If I was struggling at such a young age with my unknown history and having the stigmatism of coming from a poor, under-developed country, how was I going to make it in the thriving country of America? I realised that you and I may be from different backgrounds and upbringings, but the one common thread is we want to live life with love.
- Different people can have different experiences and memories of the same experience. That’s what makes this world amazing. What makes us different makes us authentic, what makes us imperfect makes us impactful because we are the pieces of the masterpiece. We’re all connected. Let’s not conquer and divide any more, let’s rise and unite, find the imperfections in others where you can give them empowerment, courage, strength. What do they need that you can provide? When we work with our hearts and minds in service to others, that's when the world is beautiful, that’s when life can be full and abundant.
- Every loss that I’ve experienced I took away a message and learned a lesson. Every gain that I’ve won is another nugget of knowledge that I can pay forward. If I could talk to my younger self I’d request three things: to live with passion, to persevere and most importantly have patience.
- I don’t dictate or lecture, I listen and learn with love. I meet the individual where they are at and help them widen their perspective by asking “what is it you don’t want to be?” When you rule out what you don’t want to be you unveil who you truly are because you realise your morals, ethics and values. Your mission in life is what you set your mind and your heart to.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’ve worked with individuals from the infantry to geriatric, from the home front line to the homeless shelters, from the institutions to the heinous crimes of the incarcerated.’
‘When you find someone who you think is perfect let me know, because I believe we’re always working towards progression and succession.’
‘To me, integrity means doing the right thing at the right time no matter what. Follow your heard not the herd or the hurt.’
‘Live life with love, not lack, don’t focus on the loss.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My Dad had a knee replacement just over a year ago, he was getting through rehabilitation and he was playing golf when he got bit by a little flying creature. He got cellulitis – a bacterial infection of the skin cells. He went to the doctor who told him to put his foot up for six weeks as he had an ankle sprain. He didn’t ask to take my Dad’s sock off. A few days later my Dad collapsed at home and was taken to hospital, his leg the size of a balloon. For the last six months the cellulitis keeps coming back and he’s been on antibiotics the whole time. His quality of life has been vastly reduced.
- After this we found he had an infection around his titanium knee replacement, possibly since I was put in. So, he had that taken out and had a temporary knee put in until they could find out what caused the infection and check for any extra infections in the body before putting a new titanium knee in.
- I went to the GP because I’d had a runny nose for weeks, an ear ache and pressure like you wouldn’t believe between my ears. It was like a deep winter flu had hit, like I’d been hit by a bus. I decided not to finish the course of antibiotics I’d been prescribed and went to see an ENT specialist who changed the antibiotics for me. It got slightly better, but not really. So, I went back and had a scan of my sinuses taken and it revealed that there was nothing wrong with the sinuses. He said the pressure in my ear was Swimmer’s Ear, a standard ear infection and gave me antibiotic drops. It turned out to be a post-Covid migraine variant.
- My coach says it’s 80% mental and 20% physical. If I hadn’t taken it upon myself to go to the ENT specialist, I wouldn’t have got myself to where I am today as quickly, I could have been weeks behind. I’m now getting back to full health and I can’t wait for the swimming challenge in 32 days time.
BEST MOMENTS
‘My Dad’s strong and a fighter and he’s in the best morale that I’ve seen him in in the past year.’
‘Nobody really bothered to check for secondary infections. Check yourself. Not everybody is going to have the wisdom to enquire if there’s a secondary infection.’
‘I’m stressed out because I’ve not been able to exercise to an endurance level, only to a sustained level. I’m undertaking an endurance challenge in 32 days’ time!’
‘Don’t question yourself, just check yourself.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’m using sport as a context for life. The podium matters, but it’s the podium of life that we’re going for. Mental health is very prevalent in sport these days and I think it’s about time that we started looking at this. Skill can only take you so far, fitness can only take you so far, and at the highest levels those things plateau very quickly because everyone’s good, fit, strong and fast. Mental toughness is where athletes can find an advantage.
- I work on two of the four pillars of high performance: Technical/Tactical – more drills, more skills, more tactics, more training, more practices. Physical – fit, strong, aerobic, anaerobic, power, speed, etc. Mental – pre-game prep, visualisation, mistake response. The fourth one that no one talks about is called the Social/Emotional pillar – emotional intelligence, the ability to acknowledge, understand and manage thoughts and feelings, the ability to form and sustain healthy relationships especially the relationship with yourself. Most athletes are unbalanced, they focus on the Technical/Tactical and Physical and maybe a bit on the Mental, but the Social/Emotional pillar is completely undeveloped.
- Athletes suffer from FOPO (fear of people’s opinions). You should live your life in such a way that when people speak poorly of you no one believes them. We can’t control what other people thins, say or do, we can only control if we’re living our best lives, and being our best self. It’s also important who we listen to and who we stop listening to. We need to do a better job listening to ourselves rather than the noise because we forget who we are and start to believe things that are being said about us. When you worry too much about what others think you will always be their prisoner.
- On the biggest stage on the biggest day of my life (the Rio Olympics 2016) we choked, but I have to take responsibility for that because I was part of the coaching staff, I didn’t show up as my best self on that stage and it put me into a deep darkness for a long time after. When I emerged out of the darkness I asked myself two questions: What didn’t I see? And what did I see but refused to look at? That last question haunted me and I vowed from that day forward that I was going to help athletes never to choke on the biggest day/stage of their life. There is an antidote to not choking but sport doesn’t teach us. I give people a toolkit so when the storm comes they have a lifejacket.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Isn’t it great when you figure out your true calling? I figured out my true calling: To serve people as a mental toughness coach.’
‘A lot of athletes do not know themselves, they have never looked within because sport teaches us to do the opposite, be bulletproof, have no problems and no weaknesses.’
‘I don’t talk too much about confidence in my work because I think it’s overrated and misunderstood. Confidence is an emotion based on results. If you’re not good at something you’re not going to be confident. When our competence improves so does our confidence because we believe “I can do this” we have the skills now and that also reduces anxiety, especially when your pay is often based on your performance as an athlete.’
‘I will teach you how to swim when the storm comes.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Shawnee Harle helps athletes make sense of what's going on in their heads, cut through the noise, and unleash their inner tiger. Increasing emotional intelligence helps build a toolkit to show up with courage and confidence when it matters most.
For this to happen, we must do heart work. Why? Because that's where the truth is, and the truth will set you free. The truth is, Mental Toughness is NOT about getting rid of our negative feelings. Mental Toughness is about managing ALL thoughts, feelings and emotions.
Building a toolkit helps manage what's going on in your head AND heart. It equips you to face and handle the storms that inevitably arise in the pursuit of your goals and dreams.
Shawnee works with athletes of all ages and sports, from novices to experts. And because it takes a village, she also works with parents and coaches.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I went to do my six-hour qualifier for my cross-channel swim and the coach told me to breathe right because the pilot of the vessel escorting me will be on the left-hand side and it’s good to have connection with them. But it meant I kept over-steering right and hitting embankments and triggered an old bicep injury causing me to take time out. Each time I tried it wasn’t working, it was demoralising and I no longer enjoyed swimming.
- We’re a few months down the line and I don’t think I’ve got anywhere close to the same confidence in my ability and technique. It’s really hard to build back my confidence.
- Taking it away from swimming, I’m a bachelor. You meet a couple of really nice ladies, you have great interaction and communication and then you get ghosted. Prior to being ghosted your confidence is rising, you’re enjoying the process, the journey, you’ve had a couple of meetings and there’s some chemistry there and before you know it, like a lead balloon being dropped from the sky, you’ve been ghosted. What did I do? Why doesn’t that person have the courage or the decency to say: “I’m no longer feeling this connection, I no longer wish to continue.” Why do they just disappear off the Earth?
- To create the space to build confidence, first you must have an awareness, understand the situation, understand your emotion, understand your reaction. Then, quite simply, every time there is an action, hurdle or challenge, don’t look to nudge the needle 10 yards, just look to nudge the needle a yard. Once you’ve nudged the needle a yard and you’ve recognised it, celebrate that and continue to build in that fashion. Small steps yield bigger results. Confidence is simply an emotion-building process or a consistent action building process.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Confidence is so hard to build yet so easy to lose.’
‘When I should be at the peak of my performance training, I’m doing maintenance. There’s only five weeks to go.’
‘What it takes – in relationship terms – not to lose your confidence is to ooze with self-love, self-appreciation. Even outside of relationships, that's a practice we should all be entering.’
‘If I allow my head to dip or my chin to tuck then I am creating the space for my confidence to reduce.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about ‘manana’, which is a Spanish term to say “relax, it’s taken care of, don’t worry it will happen”. Gavin has experienced some frustrating Spanish customer service when compared to how things work in the UK.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The longer I had to wait for the delivery drivers with my new mattress the more I imagined I’d have to book a hotel room to get a good night’s sleep.
- In the UK, when you get estimates of delivery between 9 and 12, you don’t actually appreciate how confidence creating that is. They're going to be there, they’re just giving themselves a large window. My friend lives in the same town and his air-conditioning is broken, and in Spain between 3 and 5 in the afternoon it’s pretty hot, and every day for two days the repairmen were saying: “Don’t worry, we’ll be there this afternoon”., they didn’t answer phone calls or messages, what is my friend supposed to do? Eventually he turns up on the second evening and my friend is left scratching his head asking himself; “Why couldn’t they have just sent me a message or called to tell me he was going to arrive at this time?”
- It’s taken me much longer than I’d ever anticipated to get used to ‘manana’, I may not ever get used to it when it comes to the professional sense of services and things like that. But what it’s teaching me is that we get hung up on the smallest of words, claims and possibilities, on the thinnest of plans, ideas and opportunities. We get so attached that we can’t let go of the outcome, yet the outcome is the same whether it’s in the UK where it’s efficient and punctual, or in Spain where it’s relaxed. It will happen all in good flow.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Sleep is imperative to making good decisions.’
‘Why could they not say: “we’ll be with you between 6 and 7?”’
‘It’s a big cultural shift (living in Spain instead of the UK), in the UK people are punctual and efficient, in Spain it’s just “manana – don’t worry, it will be taken care of. Everything in its own time”.’
‘We have to learn to let go of all the ideals, all the attachments that we’ve been taught and learn to live in flow and harmony, because that is the true course to peace.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Robert Kennedy III, a video storytelling expert, speaker and trainer about his business and how to get your story across to your audience with confidence.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The thing you really want to be aware of is your audience; what do they like, what do they need? You also want to create a connection with yourself; what are the things you care about and why do you care about them? Tell an emotional story to tell people how you got involved with whatever it is you’re doing rather than just telling people what you do or intend to do. The story will engage your audience and will hopefully raise an emotional response in them to want to get involved with your charity/business/fundraiser.
- My involvement is not so much in the video creation, it’s more in helping people to structure the information that they ought to share in their videos. One of my favourite experiences was making a commercial for my church with our pastors where we had them running around like secret agents. The idea was about prayer and we called them prayer warriors, so we had them answering phones and screeching off in their cars. It was a really fun experience to create a unique perspective on what it might mean to live in the shoes of a pastor.
- There’s also inspiration and aspiration, it’s not always about feeling a feeling that the audience might feel, it may also be showing the audience a place they might want to be or go. This is one of the reasons why, when you go on Instagram or a website where they’re trying to get you to invest in something, they show you a lifestyle that you might aspire to. MTV Cribs is the essence of aspiration storytelling: You don’t have this now, but you could have it if you work hard enough. Inspirational is slightly different, it’s about moving from where you are currently – motivational speakers do this a lot.
- As a child of about 2 years old, we had caretakers/nannies at our house and I often would hear them say that I talked too much or asked too many questions. After a while I shut down and stopped asking questions or speaking. For most of my young life I was known as a quiet, shy child who would rather spend most of my time in my room playing with trains than being at parties. It wasn’t until senior year in high school or first year of college that I had a conversation with someone and they said they saw something in me despite the fact I was hiding behind a keyboard in my singing group. They said I should be out in front of the mic leading people. After that I started a couple of my own groups which led me to get involved with radio and constantly being asked throughout my life if I was a ‘speaker’ or a preacher. Eventually, I intentionally decided to pursue it.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Dig deeper: You saw something and it triggered something inside of you. Why did that trigger happen? What is the personal and emotional situation that other people can relate to that allows them to connect with the thing you care about?’
‘Everybody has experienced pain, it induces empathy and all of us have some measure of that and if we infuse empathy into your story we get a leg up.’
‘One of the most critical things is how you surround yourself. All of us have moments of discouragement and imposter syndrome. But you’re the average of the five people you surround yourself with. There’s an energy that happens when you’re around people that are driven or that are in the direction you want to be. Complainers hang out as complainers. Celebrities tend to marry celebrities. Wealthy people are friends with other wealthy people. It’s a mindset.’
‘I believe that everyone believes something, in something or someone. I’m not at a place to judge the validity of someone else’s belief system. Ultimately, I believe we’re not alone and, if our goal is to be of service, then we have to find a way to move forward. That requires me to lean on something outside of myself.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about noticing that he occasionally traps himself into blaming others and how he’s combatting that in the hope that it helps you to see how you’re doing it and how you can deal with the blame game.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My friend convinced me, while we were on a shopping trip that my bed measurement was 130 instead of 150, so I bought the wrong sized bed clothes. He apologised later in the day when it turned out that the bed was 150, but I said “I take full responsibility, I accept my decision at the time as my own, I do not blame you.” But on my way back to the shop I was cursing him. I surrendered to my commitment to be responsible for my own actions.
- While we celebrate every single win, no matter how big or small, just because we’ve acknowledged our ability to accept responsibility and not allocate blame, it doesn’t mean that we can’t later on. It’s going to take a lot of practice.
- The whole personal development game is about practice and the creativity of allowing yourself to make mistakes and the art of knowing which ones to keep. The question is, do you know which ones to keep? Are you keeping a record? Are you keeping an eye on them? Are you maintaining the highest level, the highest standard of awareness when it comes to your integrity? You’ll likely find that unless you are truly and deeply dedicated, and spending hours in personal development every single day that you are not.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Even venting off frustration counts as blame, because you are playing the game and not accepting complete and utter responsibility for your actions, your choices, your decisions.’
‘The old programming, when you become aware, can be so refined and subtle that you think you’ve overhauled it, but you haven’t, and it slips right back in.’
‘It takes quite a lot to get to know people and understand how they tick and then as you bond together how teamwork happens together.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A life of flow doesn’t mean that you don’t plan, think about your future or reflect on your past. When I coach women in their ‘flow authentic expression, it’s a lifestyle of flow’, it’s going to be different for everyone. We all want to know what we’re strong in and what we’re not, what our traits are, but that’s not the only way of how people flow. A simple way to understand your flow is knowing what you love to do and doing more of that.
- Crowd-pleasers are the ones who get into flow when they’re in community. The heart-goers are the ones that set a goal and experience flow when they achieve it, like running 5k. The deep-thinkers are the ones who are very reflective. I can experience flow in all of those areas. The three states of flow are effortless, timeless and selfless.
- I am discovering myself every day. I think about my heart condition and my energy when I’m discovering myself, am I in a place of curiosity or do I want to fix things? To get into that space you have to have the heart condition of a child. I learned this from my two-year-old niece: when she discovered her hand for the first time, so I thought can I look at what I’m discovering about myself as if it’s the first time I’m discovering it. Form that place I’m inspired about what I’m learning about myself.
- To experience more love I have to be in my body, I need to remove more than give because those are all mindset things. I need to drop down into my body and feel the purity of my essence, I’m not learning how to love me more, I’m simply engaging with the purity of my essence as energy of love.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The brain loves flow because dopamine is released when you’re in flow.’
‘You can’t get into flow if you're stressed. Doing what you love can bring your nervous system into a state of rest.’
‘I can feel a person’s inner experience when they share, so I can help navigate their inner reality. I help people go deeper with their relationship to themselves and I can feel exactly what you’re sharing.’
‘Flow is timeless.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about how ‘doing it your way’ applies most readily to swimming for him (especially in this case to do with his six-hour qualifying swim to be able to swim the English Channel), but that you could apply it to anything in your life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’m in the qualifier, I’m breathing to the right for better stroke efficiency and to keep good contact with the skipper of the boat that will be following me on my swim. Within the first hour an old injury appears on the left-hand side – a torn/ruptured bicep tendon – and it starts to get more and more painful. But I kept breathing right because that was what was best for me. After I got home to Spain I kept breathing right but the injury is getting more and more prominent, it’s hurting quicker and quicker, I’m able to do less distance and endurance and it got to the point where I had no enjoyment in swimming any more.
- It was all to do with mindset, I left my body behind and my body went swimming. One day I woke up and thought I can’t do this anymore because it’s not working. So I started breathing left and wow! I started swimming and believing and having the confidence that I could swim across the channel. What a complete difference.
- If you’ve tried something one way and it’s really not working out, the smallest of tweaks – just the simplicity of which side to breathe on in this case – can get you such greater satisfaction and results.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I asked myself: “Why the heck are you doing this?”’
‘I don’t care what the coach says anymore, I’m going to breathe left. I cannot physically complete the challenge if I breathe right. It felt good to take the power back and move forwards instead of backwards.’
‘I didn’t fail at breathing right, I tried, I tested and I determined it was better to breathe left. The same can be said of any marketing strategy that a company goes to execute, you should be agile and flexible enough that you can pivot, turn and change.’

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We focus on the body, the mind and the spirit because when they are all I harmony a person will experience a higher quality of life, have deeper connections, deeper relationships, the way they nourish themselves by having self-care practices and food, they’re going to step into their higher self, up-level and feel much different in their body and their consciousness.
- Us humans have so much in common and are more alike than we know, we want happiness, a good life, deep relationships with our families, our colleagues, we want success, we all want the same basic things and we should have them. But we sometimes have mindset blocks, limiting beliefs that unless you take the time to look into them, you’re going to be repeating the same cycles over and over and over.
- My trauma stemmed from sexual assault and it affected my ability to work full-time and my finances as well as on a deeper level. But it allowed me to move my mindset from being a victim to a survivor.
- Our ego likes to have an identification, we often identify as our career, but years ago I identified as my illness, but then I started to reclaim who I was and then a new, more powerful identity started emerging and I really like this part of me because I didn’t know it existed. But, if I hadn’t gone through something traumatic I would never have known what existed inside myself
BEST MOMENTS
‘I look back at my trauma as an initiation, it was the first time I sat and looked at my life, what’s working and what’s not. I was out of alignment with who I was going to become.’
‘Nothing changes if nothing changes. Be the change you want to see in the world.’
‘Tiffany today is an empowering human being, she radiates light and sees light in others as well. I’m on a mission to help female entrepreneurs see the higher version of themselves.’
‘The top three self-care practices are: having a morning routine, breathwork and meditation.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the problem of suffering from mediocrity and what that means for your will, ambition and intention to raise your standards, despite possibly having a good life. You should always want to raise your standards.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You might say to me “there’s nothing wrong with mediocrity, I have everything that I want and I’m comfortable. I don’t want to, I don’t need more than I have now”. If that’s what you say then you, my friends, are suffering from mediocrity. This can be in one or all areas of your life.
- Every single one of us is an incredible light being of love, that’s what we’re made up of and what I choose to call it. However you understand it, that’s fine. As these incredible light beings of love we are sent to this earth for a reason, our existence is not by mistake, it’s by encouragement. We’re here to learn and what we learn we should utilise to support other beings of light and love.
- Mediocrity doesn’t mean you have to earn billions or own crazy materials like Ferraris, helicopters and yachts. It just means that you are not looking to grow in any way. If you stay the same for a long period of time, what happens? You are leading yourself in a circle, chasing your own tail. That is leading a life of mediocrity.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Suffering from mediocrity is when you don’t want to raise your standards anymore. It’s almost like being in a lull or a non-clinical depression. You have become your programming.’
‘There is no growth zone in comfort and mediocrity. Strive for greatness.’
‘Self-love will lead us to inspire others.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- One of the things I came across during expeditions and adventures is that it felt like a big deal to jump into something like rowing across the Atlantic in terms of body prowess; how do I get my body prepared for that and all the eventualities I would be in. I needed to think about having a body that could sit down for that amount of time before I could get any power down. You need to be flexible rather than strong so you can get up and do it again and again.
- Physically, the biggest pain, on the row across the Atlantic, I had was the oars hitting my shins all the time. We did something like a million oar strokes on the journey and I’d say one in 10 times I would whack the oar into my shin. The hardest mental thing was dealing with team dynamics, other people having mental crashes. When you’re under pressure and other people are crumbling around you it takes a special type of mental strength to keep it all together and motivate everybody again to get that boat moving forward.
- Before I went on the Atlantic rowing adventure I broke the world record for indoor rowing because I wanted to know what my body was going to be like as it deteriorated rowing over the days and how my mind would react under this much pressure, lack of sleep. How do I keep my mind occupied looking at just the sea? I had to train my mind to keep itself strong and deal with simplicity. I rowed for 83 hours, almost 4 days with just a 5-minute break every hour. It was extremely taxing in the evenings, the nights and the early mornings, your body is screaming at you to go to bed all night. Conversation with someone else was the key, not films or podcasts or music, I found it really rewarding and it gave me energy.
- The hardest thing about swimming the English Channel for me was the cold. I used to swim nationally, it was always my sport. But going into open water swimming to look after my mental health and finding a bit more purpose within sport. Jumping into a lake for the first time in March in just my Speedos, I swear to you I thought I was going to die within 5 minutes. I was so shocked at how cold and how difficult it was, I couldn’t even deal with it. It was a whole new game of the mind and adapting my body for cold water, it wasn’t a game of swimming. I got hypothermia twice. It taught me to research things before jumping straight into things and to stay humble.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s more important to train the mind than the body when you’re doing extreme endurance challenges. The body will work, but if the mind can’t take it, I won't be able to do it.’
‘There were some really dark, deep moments on that boat. There were very specific, deep conversations that I had with certain individuals on that boat that I have never ever had with anyone before, trying to get out of the darkness and keep positive to keep that boat moving and the journey alive.’
‘Some ocean rowers end up developing a different personality that they talk to. They train their mind to think that there’s another person in the room, but it’s just themselves. It’s a bit nuts really, but it gives them peace of mind when they’re having a conversation with somebody and it feels real and it energises them.’
‘Train harder than you challenge – train for something that’s bigger so that when you get to your challenge it feels smaller and more doable.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Before my friend’s business deal is completed there are hundreds of hurdles to get through or over, or challenges to find solutions for. They’re not always the biggest challenges, but they do require tenacity and persistence which my friend has in abundance. During the deal’s lifecycle, one day it looks positive and he’s happy but a few days later he’ll say he’s depressed because now it looks like it’s off. This cycle has happened at least 10 times, so he’s probably experiencing it at least 100 times.
- My friend is one of those people that whatever you say to him goes in one ear and out the other, he’s not actually listening because all he’s focussed on are his emotions. What emotions does he feel when he overcomes a challenge and what is he feeling when he’s “depressed”, which I think is really disillusioned, distracted or disappointed? Happiness and certainty vs unhappiness and uncertainty.
- Where there is uncertainty there is fear, fear is generally created from a past experience or past or current programming. Could you imagine having those huge swings of emotion 100 times in a number of weeks? How do we take the uncertainty and fear away? Once we do that we’re in a much stronger place to control our emotions.
- If I was “Nameless”, rather than allowing each element/chapter/hurdle/challenge within the deal lifecycle, I would look at myself. This is not about the deal at all, it's got everything to do with how he is feeling. Focus on past wins not on the historical experience where things haven’t gone to plan or they’ve not worked out. Then, focus on your environment and the joy it gives you to live where you live and the happiness and contentment that comes from being the father and husband in a warm and blossoming family and home.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When my friend is happy, I get a nugget of happiness, when he’s depressed I get that nugget of happiness taken away from me.’
‘I don’t like it when happiness is taken away from me, which is partly my issue as I am over-invested in other people.’
‘Success breeds success.’
‘What my friend “Nameless is doing is associating himself with the transaction: If he’s successful he’s a great guy, if he’s not successful he’s a terrible guy. This constant flip-flopping is unhealthy. The more we unwrap this the more I’m beginning to see clearly that that is to do with a loss in identity.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Leslie Davis, the author of ‘You Can’t Eat Love’ to talk about the lessons she learned as she discovered how to love herself and changed her relationship with food – which was her drug of choice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I learned that I am enough just as I am, I don’t need to live up or down to other people’s aspirations or inspirations. My dreams and my desires are sufficient. I can choose my own path and not worry about what other people are thinking or if they agree with my path. If it makes me happy that is enough.
- I grew up believing that I didn’t get to have dreams, desires or aspirations. I’m the oldest of six children and I was always told “you’re the oldest you have to do x, y and z”, even if it was something I really didn’t want to do. Also, being a female, we’re told you need to take second place to your family, you need to make sure everybody has food on the table, that they’re all taken care of and content. Then, in the workplace, I sacrificed myself on the altar of making the company successful despite not receiving an equal amount of return. I lost who I was and it took an event that sent me into a very dark place to realise that I am worthy, I do desire and do deserve to live my very best life.
- When I over ate (after my mother’s death at 49 – 37 years ago) the consequence was that I would feel shame, I’d put on a whole lot of weight. I ended up losing almost 100lbs and I’ve kept it off because I’ve changed my thought process and my relationship with myself and food, I no longer need that drug of choice. Does that mean that I don’t have opportunities to slide back into bad habits? Heavens to Betsy, yes! The other day I ate 8 brownies and I had to pause and ask myself what’s going on that’s making me eat these brownies. I figured it out, forgave myself and moved on. Be kind and forgive yourself, but most importantly, listen to what’s going on that’s sending you off down that path.
- I had to learn how to define my own boundaries and I had to learn to not accept people speaking unhelpful, unkind words to me. I’m not going to accept people demanding that I give something to them. For example, I’d say to my husband: “I’m going to do such and such” and he’d ask why and say I don’t need to do that and we’d end up in an argument. Once I’d learned to take care of myself my response to him now is: “I’m simply giving you information, I’m not asking permission”. Then he can do what he wants. That way I’m taking care of myself, I’m not asking his permission, I don’t require his input. Sometimes we simply need to be heard, we don’t need advice or a suggestion even if people like my husband like to fix things.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We have the power of choice. At the end of the day we can look back and say “what I did was enough”.’
‘Put your own oxygen mask on first. If you’re not taking care of yourself, you don’t have the ability or the energy to take care of other people.’
‘Chocolate cannot behave itself in my house, so it has to stay outside.’
‘I was always searching for something that I thought I did not have, that was the biggest a-ha moment. Specifically, I think I didn’t have love from other people when truthfully, I didn’t have love for myself.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Leslie Lindsey Davis is always on a journey. Her motto is “why not?”. She measures things she wants to do against the yardstick of “When I am 80 years old, I don’t want to be sitting in my rocking chair on my front porch saying ‘I wish I would have’”.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you know that there is action you’re not taking that could change the outcome of a great many things for you and you’re not taking action, are you prepared and willing to do whatever it takes, however it takes? What are/aren’t you willing to do?

- We want to be enjoying the journey, not the destination. Don’t skip any challenges or hurdles that arrive.
- To change a habit takes at least 21 days, often we can fall back into bad habits, so they’re really important for us to work on. Repeat your intention to do whatever it takes to change ,maintain and keep your best habits three times a day.
BEST MOMENTS
‘What an opportunity to do whatever it takes.’
‘There is always duality and polarity, so there must be sacrifice and compromise if there are to be gains.’
‘Your past doesn’t have to equal your future.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve done all kinds of interesting things before I decided to completely change who I was and remember who I was. I was an EMT for about 15 years, I was a ski instructor, I was a commercial SCUBA diver, I did all these great things and a lot of them were rooted in searching for who I was. The whole way through I’d been grateful to have dogs with me my whole life and I didn’t realise until later on the lessons they were actually teaching me and the things they’d given me along the way that made me who I am.
- About 5 years ago my older brother passed away and that tore me up and cracked me open. I grieved, I was sobbing and writhing in pain after his death. It was an incredible experience. What that did was allowed me to realise I didn’t like who I was and how I was showing up in the world – I was angry, insecure, all these things that had been going on forever but I didn’t realise. This sent me on a journey of self-exploration, healing and growth and at that time I witnessed my dog doing some things and I realised he’d been trying to show me this stuff all along, so I started working backwards through different periods of my life and found that I hadn’t been paying attention.
- I think time and exposure to humans has allowed them to read us better. Dogs are masters at body communication. Most of their communication between themselves and other animals occurs without them ‘talking’, they can pick up on the slightest cue: the way we stand, the way we hold a leash, our energy, all these things come into play when an animal is in communication with a human.
- After my brother’s passing I had a dog named Derby. He was phenomenal, he was funny, he was goofy, but he was able to help me tap into things that I had never realised before. I started meditating and the next thing I know he would join me and spend that time and hold that space with me. Instead of wanting to be outside, he’d just come and sit, so he started to teach me to be really present, I could just be, I don’t have to be doing anything. I started asking myself what else am I not listening to or picking up on, so I spent more time watching what he did throughout his day. I noticed that while I was working he’d go to the door so I’d open it and he’d just stand there, then I realised that I needed to go outside and take a break, after coming back inside I’d feel so much better. He taught me to notice this better and not just pound through.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I think that animals are wise, they have this wisdom about themselves and the world, they don’t put stuff on top of themselves. The wolves thought “Oh my gosh, these humans need help! We need to get over there and help then, who’s first?”’
‘As human we have these pretty big, powerful egos. Sometimes they work for us and sometimes they don’t. We like to think we’re in control of all these things, and I think that brings us a lot of misery.’
‘I think we’re able to let our guard down around our dogs than any other creatures. That little bit of vulnerability allows a different type of access. People who you stay walled off from can’t get close to you, people who are close to us have a little more access, but with our dogs we can let our guard way down.’
‘People don’t realise that they are a part of what their animal is doing and why they might have certain behaviours.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the fact he’s had a bit of a ‘wobble’ since deciding to swim the English Channel rather than the Gibraltar Straits three weeks ago, and how that’s affected him.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- All sorts of questions have come up this morning: Am I physically able to complete this challenge? Am I going to stay in the cold water for the duration? Am I going to have weather stop my attempt as I’m making the crossing? Those are the questions that are concerning me the most. What’s concerning me is not the destination but the journey.
- I don’t have a lot of time left to prepare, the swim is in September, just 14 weeks. My calves are still incredibly tight and burning from the 6-hour qualifier that took place 10 days ago.
- What’s really setting my off balance is not what could go wrong during the swim, the registration and application, but what might happen around the swim date with the weather and the training. Am I in a fit enough state to do it?
- Why can’t I find the strength to get me out of this hole now? The devil has appeared, the ego, asking me all those questions and making negative statements. It wants me to go out and get drunk, dance with girls and have a good time until the sunrise. Whilst it’s not impossible to do that, I’ve got 14 weeks.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m going to forego income earning activities, at least half of them because I’m losing half the time because of the extra training.’
‘You never know what lies ahead in a swim, you’ve just got to kick and put one hand ahead of the other and keep going.’
‘The only way this works is if my “why” was bigger than myself. My personal “why” was to break my beliefs around my physical capability. My external world “why” was always to raise awareness around plastic pollution, so they are much greater than me.’
‘You need support when the devil is in your ear.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My mission in life is to be a lighthouse to people helping them to find a way back home. The beacon that I send out is just enough to activate the missing parts they feel like they’re missing, they’ve abandoned, forgotten or overwritten them with what somebody else taught them was the right way to do things. These missing pieces are what end up controlling our lives and we spend the rest of our lives trying to find fillers to fit into these missing pieces.
- The top three reasons my clients come to me are 1) To discover visibility after spending most of their life feeling invisible or shrinking in the shadows. 2) People who just don’t feel they have any value and find themselves in relationships and situations where they’re taken advantage of. 3) Forever searchers who are trying to put themselves into somebody else’s box and so they’re living a life of dissatisfaction and frustration. They feel like they don’t belong, but where they do belong is inside their bodies.
- There are three stages to enjoying any desire or enjoying any desire or creating a goal and bringing it into fruition. Stage one is where you get excited about it, you get energised because you’re going towards something that lights you up. Stage two though is where most people give up. We start most things kind of like gold-panning – shifting and shaking – and what doesn’t need to remain falls away, but we cling to our beliefs because they’re familiar to us and part of our identity, as soon as someone starts taking it off we feel naked. If you want to go to the next level or you want to realise your dreams and desires, if you really want it there’s a mismatch between what your beliefs are and the fear you’re carrying around with you, to get to the top of the mountain you’re going to have to lighten that load a little bit.
- If you’re trying to run life through your head all you’re doing is accessing the past and the past has already been done, we already know what that is, why continue reliving the past and perpetuating what you were taught as a child?
BEST MOMENTS
‘Are you playing with boundaries that give you permission to do more of the things that light you up?’
‘If you know what you don’t want you know what you do want. What’s really important is the first part of that statement, usually it’s rooted in some kind of fear. This is really the first step.’
‘What you’re resisting is like a muscle, the more you resist it the stronger it gets. You need to go into a place of surrender.’
‘Our bodies are always flowing, blood knows how to flow, chemicals know how to flow, all of nature knows how to be in flow it’s us that think we can overpower it or redirect it. Breathing is one thing I teach my clients, it’s one thing we all can do.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about living your lie and what that means. Basically, we need to stop lying to ourselves that we’re doing the best we can and challenge ourselves rather than remain in our comfort zone.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Most of us get up every day and think we’re doing the best we can do. Let’s be honest, it’s simply not true. We can all be doing better, we simply choose not to. We choose to allow our ego to keep us in a nice comfort zone where we don’t feel discomfort, where we’re not challenging ourselves and growing. We’re so used to that feeling that we don’t want to feel something else.
- I recognise that some people don’t want to grow and there’s nothing wrong with that, everybody’s different and that’s why the world is so wonderful. If you can acknowledge that challenge just isn’t for you and that the comfort zone is just where you want to be then you are not living your lie. But if you’re the kind of person who’s bored of the same old daily routine but keep living it out then you ARE living your lie.
- The first thing that has to happen is recognising, becoming aware that you are living a lie. A simple way to become aware is, if you want to see an outcome but your actions are the same time and again then you have just clocked your awareness and now you have the opportunity and your horizon widened and you can make changes. Don’t get too excited and make too many, or too big changes, start small. Here’s one: Getting up and making a cup of tea, change an action that you do in the few steps from your bed to the hot water tap. What can you change? Your posture? Do it.
- Think: “Life is wonderful, life is miraculous”, get up with a smile on your face. You’re now replacing your habitual thoughts and motions. Don’t think about getting a better job or car, just control what’s going on inside of you, it’s nothing to do with the outside world. You can change your life in just a week by changing just one moment in your day.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Feelings are the very lifeline of living.’
‘What lie are you living?’
‘No one can make you live your truth, no one but you, that is.’
‘Wake up with swagger!’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I was on really heavy anti-psychotics, antidepressants, anti-migraine medications, the antipsychotics were the hardest ones to get off because I couldn’t sleep if I didn’t take them, so I took them for ten years. I watched so many videos and tutorials about how to get off them and the doctors were saying they were harder to get off than heroin, but I didn’t want to be on them for the rest of my life because I didn’t know what they’d end up doing to my body or even if I was really getting any decent natural sleep when I was sedating myself all the time.
- I wasn’t harming myself, I was diagnosed with bipolar and borderline personality disorder (experiencing intense emotions, different ones all at once) which characterised in really massive mood swings and huge emotional breakdowns which would result in crying, screaming punching and banging my head against walls – not to hurt myself but to make the emotional pain stop. It was an extreme way of me trying to regulate my emotions to level myself out.
- I still struggle with a bit of histamine intolerance and there are some foods I have to avoid, but a lot of it is just being really disciplined with your diet and taking various supplements, to heal the lining of your gut for example because gut health is directly linked to mental health. This will help me manage my symptoms, have me feeling good and not having any stomach problems or feelings from gut stuff.
- I started climbing after I’d already healed and recovered after all of the mental issues, but it’s definitely something that helped me to stay healthy, to have a hobby where I cared about the results more than just being healthy because I have to be healthy. It helps me to switch off mentally, it’s like meditation, you can’t think about anything else than what’s in front of you, focussing on your breathing and using all of your strength while trying to be really calm.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’d always seemed to have sleep issues. As a kid I took a lot of antibiotics for frequent ear infections for months and that was the start of a steady decline downwards of sleeping, mood, other problems, stomach problems, eating disorders and it snowballed to the point where at 18 I was crying and screaming every day and wasn’t sleeping at all and hit rock bottom of feeling mentally unwell.’
‘I was constipated from a young age; I only went to the bathroom every 2-3 days. At 24 I did a 3-day water fast and that helped reset my bowels, my stomach and the bacteria there and in the last 5 years since I’ve done that I go to the bathroom after every meal like you’re meant to.’
‘As soon as you fix the diet all the symptoms will stop. Food triggers it. If you have a gut problem and you’re eating inflammatory foods, it’s these and the proteins in the bloodstream that are causing the problem. If I were to start eating processed foods again now I would get brain fog, snappy and irritable and within a few weeks I’d get emotional and sad and grumpy.’
‘I’m not a foodie, maybe because of everything I’ve been through with food. I cook because it’s healthy. If you’ve been at the gym for 4 hours and you’re starving, everything is delicious.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Sarah Anne is an authentic, caring, and client-centred sales and marketing trainer who helps coaches reach six-figure income by bringing more value to their clients. Sarah shows entrepreneurs how to charge more by either increasing the results, or the speed or ease with which their clients get results. You could go without numbering. I’d even go as far as to suggest you remove it. But it all comes down to magazine interior design, so it’s up to you.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve been living on the south coast of Spain, living an outdoor lifestyle and managed to avoid catching Covid for the last two years. I guess there was a part of me that thought I was immune, impenetrable and to some extent it’s that attitude, that mindset, along with the lifestyle that I’ve been living that has kept me out of harm's way.
- I’m on day five of being indoors not seeing anyone and I’m losing my shit, people! It’s a perfect environment to work. It’s quiet, it’s warm, but the mere fact that I’m in isolation… I can’t put my finger on it, but I can’t concentrate, I can focus, I can’t install and instil the good habits that I’ve created. And I’m wracking my brain as to why this is.
- I’ve come to realise that the one thing I value most in all the world, in the kingdom I’m creating, in the universe, is my freedom. I am free, effectively, to come and go as I please because I’m a free being, but as a good citizen you tend not to go and potentially spread the virus further, so you isolate yourself even though there’s no real cause for concern. I know I’m not locked in this room, but I feel locked in it, I feel caged in it and that everything around me is caving in and crumbling.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m very grateful I have Covid now and not before the first and second waves.’
‘It feels like a mild cold instead of a strong flu.’
‘I know I could go to mentors or gurus and they would say: “Gav, it’s just your body, it’s just your mind that’s in the room, your spirit is free, recognize your spirit is free and you’ll free yourself.” But it doesn’t feel like that.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I have so many different missions, which is why my bio is so long! I concentrate most on healing, I am a Galactic Goddess of Healing, which is a name my divine team gave me.
- In this incarnation, most of us come to this planet to heal, like thousands of previous incarnations. We have to do ancestral healing, which most people think is only seven generations before us but it’s not like that at all, it’s seven generations before us but we have been incarnated in different universes and galaxies. We have to heal all of that. We have to heal our inner child, where we’ve been traumatised by our parents, school, to give ourselves self-love and work on our self-esteem and abandonment issues.
- Lots of people don’t realise what they’re doing, I’m an empath and have been a transmuter of collective energies all my life but I didn’t know why I was getting ill or felt so awful after being with some people. I was absorbing negative energy from other people, and I optimise and transmute it into unconditional love. If you feel very sensitive and are affected by other people, you will be an empath, it’s just different sensitivities.
- I do fragmentation healing with the Arcturian Council in their ninth dimensional light ship. This I s for healing soul fragments from different incarnations on different planets so I can see what I’m doing with each planet, each person was guided to go and pick up their soul fragments. I see them as shattered mirror pieces. When you pick up fragments and give them to your higher self, or your over-soul, they come back and when you heal in your soul the side effect is physical and emotional healing for the body.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Ancestral healing is not just healing people from repeating the same patterns, it’s affecting our health. If your ancestors have been doing something wrong it will manifest in lots of illnesses, like genetic blood disorders and musculoskeletal issues.’
‘This healing is so important because we want to stop this loop of incarnating and reincarnating. If you heal in this lifetime you don’t have to go back here again until the next 1000 years and the planet is like a Garden of Eden again.’
‘Heaven is not somewhere in the sky, to manifest Heaven on Earth is what manifesting is, that’s what we’re building with our energies.’
‘Lots of people suffering from anxiety and depression, it’s not their energy, they don’t understand why they feel this way because there’s no reason for it. We’re getting more sensitive and feeling more collective energies, especially through Covid. When you focus on healing yourself you’re healing the whole planet because we’re all part of the collective consciousness.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Tatiana is a Multidimensional Quantum Energy Healer, Medical Medium, Ascension Pioneer, Coach and Activator, Lightworker, Anchor of The Light, Wayshower, Ambassador of Peace for ALL and Transmuter of Collective Energies. Her greatest passion is her gift of healing in this realm and beyond.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin shares a story with us about his friend, a boy who had a great upbringing but suffered a loss and withdrew. Ask yourself about the stories you tell yourself and whether you need to wake up from it. Life is for the living.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I knew a boy when I was young who had a great upbringing, his parents embodied the values associated with family, home was a safe place. During his childhood he experienced challenges but he never took them personally or for them to get the better of him, he lived life by his own standards.
- Tragically, his mother passed away when he was about 18 after a brave two-year fight with cancer. Despite facing this with bravery and trying to make the impact of her passing as easy as possible, the boy felt a great disconnect, something so precious, something that lit up his universe, something that he believed in, trusted and knew was good and gave him a sense of security and confidence was suddenly ripped from under him.
- His world changed. He began to see dark where there was light, challenge where there wasn’t, he began to create a world which didn’t serve him and drew to him darker times. He didn’t deal with challenges the same as he did before, he was more negative, less grateful, super-cynical, he began not to trust the universe, the process, religion, anyone that was close to him.
- He smiled and expressed joy, but his heart didn’t light up in the same way, it was to all intents and purposes encased in a warrior’s shield, confined to the prison of this shield. His work suffered, his relationships suffered with intimate partners, family, business colleagues. The way he related to the world had completely changed and he went out of his way to hide from life.
BEST MOMENTS
‘He would laugh at the sign of trouble, he would raise his chin in the face of adversity and say “I step forwards, I choose to acknowledge challenges with courage, I will show others the possibilities that they cannot see.’
‘So few of us are privileged enough to have such an incredible upbringing. Some might say, the world needed to even out and that he was to go through challenges in his life.’
‘Do you know what it feels like to go from an arena of self-expression where you are free to be, free to be and free to act to a world where you feel judged, criticised, a world where you believe everything is against you?’
‘One day he woke up from his story and wondered “where have I been? Who has been walking in my shoes and sleeping in my bed? I don’t recognise that person.” In that moment he aligned with his true nature and the shield around his heart was removed and what had fundamentally changed was that he could see it was a story he’d been telling himself and others. What do you tell yourself and is it real?’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I never thought that coaching was a possibility, or working in leadership development or human resources was going to be anything remotely interesting for me or my journey. But in the Fall of 2009 when I was coaching some first year students on resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn and interviewing skills, the rest of the world completely shut off and I knew this was something that was going to impact my life for years to come. I felt great in my body and I was getting third party external validation from the students who were feeding back which helped me to believe in myself.
- It’s hard to release the expectation of what we’re supposed to do based on how we compare ourselves to others. That’s why I’ve written my book. We have to look back at what we were acculturated to believe between birth and age 6 and what happens to the human mind when we’re in the theta brain wave state, this is the time when we are acculturated and socialised to be acceptable by our parents. At age 7 we move into the beta brain wave state which is a conscious discussion we have every day. We unknowingly repeat the same behaviours our parents delivered to us from birth to age 6 and these are the things that drive us to compare ourselves to others and others progress. These are not fair measurements and comparisons, the best thing you can possibly do is be hyper clear about who you are. If you know your mission, your core values, what makes you different and unique in the marketplace and every single day you’re sharing something with people, the goal is the quality of the impact on the individual not the quantity of the impact you have on tens, dozens, hundreds or thousands.
- I perceive life as being an upward spiral, we are continually confronted by situations that happen, but as we climb the spiral we’re more emotionally resilient. The way the universe tests us is by giving us deeper knowledge and understanding of what it was testing us for a year or two ago.
- There’s a lot to be said for understanding the ‘soul body’ and its experience and what it’s doing and what has come from previous lives and thing that we’ve encountered from emotional traumas and things that we’ve experienced in this life and that right now, in human history, we’re going through a massive release. Not everybody has recognised that it’s occurring but for the last couple of years we’ve seen people navigate change that they’ve never navigated and we’ve seen them walk into their true selves in some way. The last couple of years has been teaching humanity – not everybody’s doing it – the more feminine expression of themselves. Make sure that you take time for release every day – meditation, yoga, reiki, time in nature.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re a very social species, we definitely need validation from others.’
‘I’ll be happy if I sell 1000 books. I haven’t got there yet, but I’ve received 25 or 26 messages from people around the world that something in my book literally saved their life. To me, that’s completely worth the investment of my time to become a coach, publishing the book and sharing it.’
‘Our society has built up this image of what it means to be a coach or be successful, but I think that our work on Earth is how we can pick up the heaviest burden that we can bear, emotionally, to reduce other people’s suffering and to carry that burden every single day.’
‘Perfection is the lowest standard you could possibly set.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Michael Seaver’s mission is to unlock human potential. He was raised in a small, conservative West Michigan town in the ‘80s and ‘90s. His grandfather started our family’s lawn maintenance business in 1953 and he devoted 12 years to helping his father and grandfather live comfortably.
Something inside Michael knew he couldn’t fulfil his mission there, so at age 23, he moved to Arizona to begin anew. After a few years in the hospitality industry, Michael attended the Thunderbird School of Global Management and completed an MBA. Thunderbird brought his life’s mission to light.
Michael learned that he valued authenticity, growth, spirituality, wellness, and power, and how important each was to him. He then worked at one of America’s largest non-profit healthcare systems only to feel the same way he felt in Michigan. Soon, Michael left that role, started his coaching practice in 2011, and has continued to grow the ways he serves others. Through life’s uncertainties, he’s learned just how powerful human intuition is.
Michael has travelled the world seeking new ways of being. He’s coached leaders across the globe, changed corporate cultures, spoken on stage in front of thousands, written a few books and hundreds of articles, been interviewed by others and hosted his own podcast and facilitated online courses.
Through it all, Michael realised that the more he challenged mainstream ideologies, the more he recognized the patterns in human life, and the more he brought together the human personal and professional selves into one authentic being. The more he could help others move through their pain-to-purpose journey trusting they were on the right path at the right time. Your life’s answers are already inside you. Michael’s diverse set of coaching experiences and soul-based instincts serve as the clear signal to help you unlock your most authentic self.

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Be aware. Whatever it is you’re telling yourself, ie: the ego, at no stage listen to it. It seeks comfort and not to grow.
- Measure your change because when your brain sees change it recognises that change and it likes those results. Subconsciously the computer programme of the ego is changing and you have to encourage and nurture that.
- We’ve all got blocks and we can’t see beyond the end of our noses sometimes, it’s nothing to be ashamed or afraid of or feel guilty about, there’s nothing wrong with you. As we’ve gone through life we’ve only been updating our software at 50% each time, we need to update more often – your values, beliefs, structures and actions if you want growth.
- Transformation always starts with the physical first. If you look better you feel better, if you feel better you’re more motivated and encouraged to go and change the other habits. You’ve got a greater sense of fortitude.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can measure growth and it’s really important to do so.’
‘Reach out to someone like me, a mindset educator.’
‘Actions speak louder than words. If you want to grow quicker you’ve got to change your habits.’
‘I’m trying to widen the lens of perspective from which you view things.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The first question I ask my students is what made them decide to come to school to learn about hair, skin or nails? Nine times out of 10 they say that they had trouble with their own skin and want to learn not just to look after their skin but to help others. For those that struggle to open up about their ‘why’, we highlight whatever we do like about their appearance – their eyes, hair, long beautiful nails – and say let’s work with that and showcase it in the ways that we do our services. Positive reinforcement is key as well.
- Not all men, but from what I’ve seen over the past 17 years in this industry is, most men have a very simplified skincare routine and they’re using really harsh ingredients on their skin: 3-in-1 soaps, bar soaps, soaps that have fragrance in them. You should make sure you have good skincare products for men that are out there that don’t have feminine fragrances, banding etc and drink plenty of water, men generally get away with having a poorer diet than women, but take care of what your eat and drink because it will affect your skin and hair and most men don’t think that way.
- As well as a teacher I’m also a pageant queen. Throughout my life I’ve been able to mentor young women and girls throughout pageantry and representing my current title, which is Mrs Pennsylvania Galaxy, I’ve talked to women of all ages, sizes and genders and it all starts with having a general conversation, talking to them about something else other than their skin, getting to know them, sitting down with these girls and telling them that I do care about them, I want to be able to help them, that I understand their concerns and that I can relate to them.
- We need to come up with a way to reuse, reduce and recycle. I think that we’re moving in this direction but not fast enough. The cosmetic industry, as a whole, has a lot of ways that it can take part in to reduce our waste and to embrace that by helping and educating the next generation to cut down on product waste, usage, making sure we’re using the correct ratio of the product and educating clients and students to recognise which ingredients are good and which are bad.
BEST MOMENTS
‘By taking care of what you’re given, rather than change your appearance, that actually is your beauty.’
‘Have a day where you and your partner or friends – male or female – can go to the spa and get pampered. Men may not feel that’s very masculine but taking care of your skin helps to reduce stress, and is a great way to spend time with people.’
‘Embrace the bald! Bald is beautiful! Your hair does not define you; you do.’
‘I’m a beauty queen because it allows me to serve my community in such a bigger impact.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Heart Health Awareness with an emphasis of “Heart Health at Any Age”. Sandahl Taylor chose this platform for several passionate reasons. Not only did her father, a US Navy veteran suffer from a heart attack and stroke, she learned she too had a heart condition herself at the age of 28. In addition to many of her friends that have family members who are affected as well, it is the number one cause of death in America. Sandahl has already made huge strides in her platform, and is planning on continuing her efforts with The American Heart Association near her hometown of Pittsburgh, PA and throughout the State.
Sandahl graduated from the South Hills Beauty Academy, in Dormont, PA with a license as a Cosmetology Instructor/Teacher. She is also a licensed cosmetologist and is currently attending classes in the Cosmetology Master Educator Program.
In 2015, Sandahl married SSG Kenneth Taylor, veteran of the US Army, who currently works as an IT support specialist near Pittsburgh, PA. In addition to proudly being a military spouse, Sandahl is a mother, daughter, sister-in-law, aunt, and friend to many retired and current members of the United States Armed Forces. As a way to give back, she has spent the last few years providing complimentary haircuts through The Veterans Leadership Programs, annual events as well as through several events at her place of employment. She also has volunteered for a few years at several events for The American Heart Association, raising awareness, and funds to help support her platform and become an advocate for heart health. Some of the events she had the honour of volunteering for are the Annual Heart Ball, Annual Heart Walks, and she even founded her own event called “Style for the Heart.”
Mrs. Taylor is currently an educator, and teaches Cosmetology, Esthetics, and Nail Technology. Sandahl and Kenneth are the proud parents of two wonderful children, and also have nieces and nephews. Sandahl’s hobbies include: singing, dancing, modelling, writing, and spending time with her family, as well as reading with her children.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin asks the question: How has your life gone to date, and how much of what you’ve done have you done with support, from birth to the present day from parents, family, teachers and friends?

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you look at every aspect and facet of your life, you have been given, or received, support. Even the people that have come from backgrounds where they perhaps haven’t had privileged upbringings, where they’ve had issues in their families from a young age – separations or abuse – there’s still been support at some stage in your life. When you look at that level of support at that stage in your life you will see that you’re grown immensely.
- I’ve been through so many things in my life, and what happens when you go through experiences is you experience – generally – both positive and negative. It’s fair to say, I haven’t experienced everything, but I have experienced a great deal. This podcast is about me and my guests sharing their experiences with you and I want you to grow and be the best version of yourself and fulfil your limitless potential.
- Life is challenging, you do go through peaks and troughs, you go through joys and sadness. We know this, yet when we’re not living in joy all the time and a shock comes, all of a sudden we ask “why is this happening to me? This is terrible.”
- I was with someone who treated my kindness as a weakness and it made me feel weak, that I was undervalued, it diminished my self-worth. But then I woke up and realised they had subconsciously put their beliefs on me and I realised I was a wonderful person because I had the support of my friends.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Support enables growth.’
‘I was able to get through everything in my life that challenged me because I reached out for support.’
‘You remain you no matter what, be your authentic self, remain kind.’
‘I want to offer you that support and help you get to the next level.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Intention is very important and very very powerful. All your physiological, emotional and psychological ups and downs in life doesn’t define who you are. You are your intention to be. If you intend to become healthy, you work to become healthy. If you intend to become wealthy, you work towards becoming wealthy. You set the intention and then you do it.
- We have a subconscious mind that has picked up patterns and beliefs from observation and being taught in society, and these thoughts and ideas limit our understanding of who we truly are. This is why I search. But I also know, when you have this deep deep knowing then there’s always that constant desire for evolving more into being that completely self-realised essence of who you really are to reach full enlightenment.
- We’re made to believe that there’s some governing force outside of us, we’re made to believe that we have to obey and follow rules to have a functional society. That’s The Matrix! And we’ve been living in that for thousands of years, it is what has been our reality, and we are waking up from that and any guru or enlightened being has long since woken up from that reality and are living in that full expression of God/Source energy and really being at oneness.
- We have all been, very recently, living in a sleep state and we’re waking up from that. But awakening is a process that has many different steps. It can happen very very fast but it can also take many steps and levels towards understanding – and we’re in pre-school, we have not graduated yet, we still have a lot of levels of understanding to unfold.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m all about healthy living, our bodies have an immense ability to self-heal, we just need to nudge it in the right way and there are natural ways to do that. I have very little faith in the pharmaceutical industry, it’s a money machine.’
‘If your goals are too high you can’t aim for it. You need to take baby steps.’
‘What you resonate out is what you draw back to you. You are a transmitter.’
‘You can inspire people by just being it.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
If Harriet A Elizabeth is addicted to anything in life, she says, it’s the constant thirst for personal growth. The understanding of what we are "really made of" and the unfolding of the mystery life itself holds never ends to delight and surprise her. Guiding others to find their truth is rewarding on so many levels but nothing is more rewarding than when the light switch turns on and permanently changes a person’s outlook on life.
Expressing herself through her art and writing gives her tremendous joy and balance between guiding others and rolling up her sleeves as an entrepreneur.
Harriet’s involvement in being part of the solution to our world’s plastic waste and to provide ultimate health through water is something that is dear to her heart. We´re in this together. As it so wisely has been said "Be the change you want to see in the world."
The world is changing and so are we. Science is finally merging with spirituality. Quantum physics has bridged the two and Harriet’s latest, very exciting project is to share and spread a magnificent "tool" to change and fine tune a person’s frequency. Our frequency governs our bio-magnetic field and everything in our life, mentally, physically and spiritually.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- One of my avid followers… subscribers asked me what flow statement. I think it means to have awareness around what’s going on, to accept and let go.
- In my current state, which is one of low energy due to the detoxification I am currently going through, I don’t really have the time to be taking wrong turns and going extra miles on motorways unnecessarily. Historically, this would have frustrated me. I would have been quite angry with myself for making such a mistake, I would have been not loving and forgiving towards myself. I chuckled and smiled and said: “I’m not going to swim upstream, I’m just going to go with the flow, be in a flow state, I’m going to be a molecule in a river and where the current flows is where I will go.”
- I have pride in my acknowledgement, which is the awareness I mentioned, with the genuine pleasure in accepting what is the direction I took and, most of all, the joy that comes with letting go and just flowing.
- Would you like to be in an ecstatic, joyous flow state, or would you prefer to be in a state of continual, habitual comfort? The choice is yours. Choose wisely my friends, brothers and sisters, for you have choice, you have the ability to create your future. If we all together move forwards creating new structures, new systems, new ways of living. I unequivocally believe that we can live amongst each other without judgement of one another, without attaching labels to one another, that we can live in a state of harmony, serenity, tranquillity and peace with the loving kindness that embodies the very organism that keeps us alive: Our heart.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I thought I had my charger cable, but I didn’t, and I have no battery on my phone, so I have no guidance other than my sight.’
‘Today is a new day.’
‘You can only go forwards if you have non-attachment to the past.’
‘It is so powerful to be in control, the decision-maker, the authoritarian of your path, of your impact on your life’s journey.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A lot of people don’t realise they’re in their shell and stuck in their habits and limiting beliefs. You need to find someone who can tell you you’re in your shell and push you out of your comfort zone. And be honest with people about how you’re really feeling.
- We have blind spots literally everywhere, we have so many things going on in our lives that we can’t see what’s going on sometimes. We could jump on a great chance, but we don’t see it because we are our own biggest enemy. That’s why community is such a big key to one’s growth, you cannot fix these things on your own, you need help from somebody else. They cannot fix you, you still need to do the work, but you can get a lot more growth going together.
- By telling yourself “I’m gonna be a millionaire” you’re actually telling yourself you’re not a millionaire. The subconscious picks up on this, and it’s so much bigger than the conscious mind, and says “we have a lack, because we’re not a millionaire”. You need to let go and get rid of that lack to become abundant. The only way you can do that is by visualisation (the law of attraction) and letting go of that thought, limiting belief and subconscious pattern of being that guy who is not a millionaire. If you let go of the belief that you are not a millionaire things will come effortlessly towards to and you will become a millionaire… with, of course, enough patience.
- This in ongoing process, a lifetime journey, you will never stop doing it or you will fall back into a comfort zone and the old patterns, because that’s what the body wants. Make a routine out of this, do it at the beginning and end of your day and after 21 days you will have formed a new habit. If you want to get into a new mindset, it also takes a little bit of time. Connect with people who are where you want to be because you can take over their mind set, you see how they think and act and you can copy them. Again, it's a lifetime process that never ends.
BEST MOMENTS
‘A lot of people aren’t aware they can fix their own issues by just spending time on them, thinking about them and just writing things down.’
‘If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go further, you need to go together.’
‘A belief system can be changed, it just takes a lot of time and a lot of touch points.’
‘Self-awareness leads to self-mastery. If you are aware of not being abundant, or in a shell, that’s the first step and a huge win. You can now take action to get rid of it.’

In this episode Gavin is back on the road and talking about how his 28-day juice detox is going and how it’s changing his relationship with food. He has begun recording a documentary of his journey which is available on his YouTube and Patreon channels.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’m shell shocked because I just pour with gratitude for the journey of self-discovery it is gifted to me. It’s quite remarkable and I never expected it. I just thought I need to get healthier and leaner for my swim and I’ve toxified my body for too long.
- What I’ve learned is my relationship with food. I never really understood what that meant before. We all have a deep connection into action with food. There are some of us that eat to nourish ourselves, there are some that eat to give joy, some of us are emotional eaters. I’m finding out that while historically I’ve been a combination of all three, I've been an emotional eater.
- Not eating for 16 days and sustaining myself only through juice, I’ve noticed that how I navigated the world before was “I’m bored”, or my energy is low, and that created an emotion. The first thing I did then was think about what food I had in the fridge, what I could eat and when I could eat it. Usually the answers were some food, in the fridge, and now.
- Know what your relationship with food is from an emotional point of view. Understand what food energises your body and in what way they energise your body. Acknowledge what foods go into that coal fire, that steam engine of yours, the belly. Nourish it. Consume the right nourishment at the right time.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I have learned so much.’
‘I’d like to stop and acknowledge my awareness: I honour you, Awareness of Gavin.’
‘This insight that I have gained is so valuable. I had become comfortable and had started to form a habit.’
‘Please do not demonise me, guys, for having a matcha latte during my juice detox.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I have a history of abuse from childhood to adulthood. This led me to becoming a coach. My mother suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, as a child I didn’t know what reality was compared to other people, I only knew her reality. I was beaten and called names and it was pretty rough. School was my safe space where people cared about me, I was free to learn and I was passionate in that environment. But I didn’t know how to form relationships with other people and make friends. When I got older, I got into a relationship with a very controlling man, which I didn’t know was not normal, and I stayed in that relationship for 28 years, during which time any self-esteem I had left was knocked down. I felt like I deserved to be in that environment. In order to leave I gathered all the money I could ($30,000), over 10 years, and I moved to Texas to a shelter. After that, my whole life changed.
- After another bad relationship, someone suggested I get a relationship coach and I loved what she taught me about manifesting, values and how to go about finding, getting and being in a healthy relationship (friendship or love). I loved it so much that I decided to go to school and coach. Eventually I found the man of my dreams and he is my rock, my joy, I trust him implicitly and I have the best relationship I could ever have imagined.
- All I ever talked about for a long time after leaving my ex-husband was him and my children, and one lady said: “Is Kari in there somewhere?” There was no ‘me’, I did everything for everybody else. It was absolutely amazing to find out who I really was.
- I was angry with God and the world for a while because I didn’t understand why I was going through this, but today I understand that every single thing that I’ve ever gone through has been to prepare me to help somebody else, whether it’s coaching or a friend coming to me for help. That’s God’s plan for me: to help as many people as possible.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m not afraid of change, I love it.’

In this episode Gavin talks about how he’s become shocked to discover – while going on a juice detox – that he has become a very emotional person. He lays out how to control your emotions, this could be the first of a series of episodes on this topic as we’re all different and there are many different emotions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Whether I always was, or whether I’ve been through various experiences I’ve been blessed to live through, I’ve become quite an emotional person. Which is a complete shock to me.
- I’ve been in a low energy state of vibrations after meeting a lady last week that I connected with. I really like and would like to get to know you a lot better. But I live in Spain, and she lives in England, and I don’t know what her thoughts and feelings about our connection are. This has caused uncertainty in me.
- This has led me to stop focusing on myself and shifted the focus to her and all that’s happening is that the ego is taking control and laughing at me. It’s saying “you have this thought pattern: You are trying to escape my comfort zone and you’re just about to do it and then I take hold again and let those emotions really play strongly with you and then you begin to listen to me”.
- One of the best times for me to recognise my emotions is when I’m swimming because I’m totally alone, I’m submerged and I can listen to my thoughts and my intuition. Today I realised that I’d shifted from the bliss state that my juice detox, yoga and swimming was giving to me, but I’ve now shifted to wondering about what this lady may or may not think and it’s completely the wrong thing to do, because all these emotions are coming up. I need to focus on myself so that I can be seen in my best light which will be a lot better than the dark flashing light of emotions.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You like someone, you don’t know they like you back. This equals uncertainty.’
‘Behaviour is conditioned and cyclical.’
‘The best people to help you with your emotional blocks are those that have been through those blocks themselves: Coaches, guides, mentors.’
‘Growth only comes when you find yourself moving into a place of discomfort.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When I was coming up through school, they always talked about leadership as something you should strive for. What is it about leadership that you value: The outcome, without inspiring people you’re not going to be able to change the thoughts of the masses. You have to lead by example, show people the results and it’s not something you can force on people.
- It’s human nature to think ‘out of sight, out of mind’. If it doesn’t affect somebody, they’re not going to affect change on that issue. We could all be doing more. I’m not calling for an uprising or a rebellion, but we do need to tweak the system quite a bit with regards to plastic production and waste, and the way we treat the Earth.
- Have you seen people’s habits change over time: This comes back to leading by example, not showing frustration at resistance and certainly not becoming the ‘plastic police’ because you’ll lose them. It’s not about forcing people to change their habits, it’s about inspiring them to become the best version of themselves. By doing so, the environment around them becomes better, not just the physical environment but their relationships, their work, etc.
- What’s one of the main things you gained from 2020? My consciousness. I’m back in a human experience acting, not reacting. I’ve created a home in Spain where I’ll spend the next 20-30 years of my life and I’m happy here. To have that systemic level of happiness within your physical essence and your soulful being promotes a much higher level of vibration.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s nice to hear somebody else’s story rather than what’s going on in the news.’
‘Sometimes words have more impact than actions. Think of Winston Churchill’s speech during the Second World War.’
‘Humans are part of the universe, is this the legacy we want to leave behind? Life is a wonderful gift that we’ve been given by the universe, why would we ruin that?’
‘On the outside life was great, but inside I was suffering from a victim mentality [from being made bankrupt]. Only when we were locked down in 2020 did I start reacting to that before starting on a path to healing myself.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
It's My Time Podcast is a tribute to everyday people having conversations about their life experience. It is easy to forget how much we go through day to day over time but everyone has a unique story. It's My Time Podcast is a reminder that we all get stuck and mentally paralyzed at times but there is always a way through it.
"Be Proud of your work, endure in your faith, and always hold yourself in high regard with who you say you are. " Listen and laugh with people like yourself who found their way. As you navigate this thing called life remember, Comparison is the thief of Joy.

In this episode Gavin talks about his physical wellness routine and how it can sometimes be one step forward and two steps back and knowing when it’s best to back off in order to do less damage to yourself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- If you understand how pushing yourself actually works, when it comes to physical gain, pushing it when you’re already pushing yourself is too much.
- Pushing it to your limit – if you’re not already in the greatest of physical health and wellness – is always going to be exactly that: Your limit. And when you get there, something is going to give.
- I’m not trying to limit you or your potential, I’m only saying this because I have always excelled at intensity over consistency. This is a case of the turtle versus the hare. It’s a mind game, a trick that’s there to confuse you and if you let it it will, it will play on your mind and plague you.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Physical wellness is a consistency gain, not intensity. Pushing it won’t serve you in the long run.’
‘Pushing strongly or gently is still pushing.’
‘It’s my responsibility going forward to make the right impact on my body.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I noticed that a lot of women had a lot of emotions that came up through the movement, so the basis of Goddess Yoga is to love your curves, our bodies change when we have kids, a bit of your body doesn't bounce back and you gain weight, you get stretch marks. I started hating my body, but through learning these movements I rediscovered and began to love my body and myself again. I knew I connect to other women in this way. There’s an element of counselling and life coaching as well and we go on retreats as well.
- Society puts dampers on emotions and has taught us they’re bad, especially with men; you’re not supposed to cry. We experience emotions for a reason, they’re our guideline. Through my own life coach training I’ve learned it’s important to really feel, the power in your words alone are amazing. What you speak goes out into the universe and are heard, and that’s where manifestation comes in. Let go of your fear and step into your courage.
- The guidance I was given by my life coach really helped me discover my fears and how to shift my language so I can create a life I truly love. From the day I stopped teaching and resigned, I’ve not had a heart palpitation since and my thyroid medication dosage has drastically dropped for the first time in over 20 years. As a life coach I’m healing my body as well as doing what I love to do.
- Women can support each other by looking at another woman for the very first time without seeing their background and the limited beliefs they may have within, look at them for the very first time as a blessing. We all have ‘stuff’ and limiting beliefs. It’s about looking past that and seeing the blessings in life and being grateful for everything, even the things that seem challenging.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We really delve into the emotional journey of life and what’s going on within you. We tend to carry around a lot of trauma and yoga really squished them out.’
‘Life tends to get in the way sometimes and we take on different beliefs and limited patterns and we forget who we are and who we were created to be. I try to remind women of who they were meant to be, the sky’s the limit.’
‘We can co-create our life, it’s a choice and you can choose for life not to be hard by simply shifting your language. Life can be fun and easy.’
‘Life is beautiful and it’s important to see everything is a blessing.’

In this episode Gavin is back to talk about what ‘stay the course’ means, from seeing it through no matter what to being relentless in the pursuit of your goals, achievement and ambitions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There have been moments I’ve wanted to quit the detox I’ve been on, I’ve asked myself do I stop, or do I take the next step and go beyond? Stopping means quitting. To stay the course means not to quit. There are many things in life I can relate that to.
- There are times during my short podcasting career where I’ve asked myself if people listen or get any value out of what I have to offer? On that note, please follow, subscribe and comment on the content.
BEST MOMENTS
‘How do you know it’s not going to work out if you don’t see it through? You won’t know. Is that something you’re prepared to live with? Will you regret not staying the course?’
‘You are the captain of your own life, you’re on an adventure, life is exciting, the things you do matter and are important. Will you stay the course? Listen to yourself. In each of you there’s perfect DNA that makes you your authentic self. If you’ve started something, stay the course. Only then will you know that you’ve reached the destination.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Martial arts is not about punching people in the face, it’s about self-discovery of who you are and continuously being intrigued and infatuated with it. All martials arts are a form of expression. To find your martial art you have to find who you are and then express it. As I grew, and still grow, the reason I’m here is not because of the things that I’ve been able to do, it’s what I’ve been able to receive and find from the questions that I’ve asked myself through a young age of meditation.
- Sometimes being comfortable will lead to the biggest pitfalls: maintenance, complacency and justifications. The moment you find yourself in a maintenance stage that’s the beginning of the deterioration of whatever it is: relationships, business, mindset.
- The difference between therapists and coaches is a therapist will do a great job at having you understand why things happen the way they did. Coaches take you somewhere, we’re more on the empathetic, not sympathetic. When you have that motivator and nurturer within yourself you can then hunt and dominate, not for vanity, but for value.
- It’s all about perspective. For me, failure is giving up, moving forward when something doesn’t pan out isn’t a failure, it’s a learning point to become better. It had to happen in order for you to become better, feel better, be better prepared. If I’m taking credit for success I’ve got to also take credit for the bullshit.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I get told 'I'm feeling like I'd be talking to someone much older – I’m 27 – and that’s only because I’ve been surrounded by wonderful people and being able to watch and take a little bit from every single one.’
‘It’s my belief that the discipline of doing things I don’t want to do that’s built the discipline of self-respect for myself, not doing the things I want to do.’
‘As a coach, I can’t take anyone anywhere. I can impress and I can inspire.’
‘Why are you beating yourself up for discovering more about yourself? You knew this shit was going to be hard, if it was easy everybody would know who they are.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve not been to therapy or anything, all I’ve done is remove the intoxicants that we are programmed to and freely put in our bodies. It does take commitment, motivation and a determined mindset, but on the other side of the door is a whole new world just waiting for you to explore.
- Do you suffer from the noise of the world and your ego? I’m not eating food while I’m juicing, but I’ve sat with friends at various eateries and you see and smell food and it tickles your senses. You see yourself eating like they are and you feel you must feed yourself and you become hungry. This is the devil talking on your shoulder, you need to stop listening. But why do you choose to listen?
- There have been many times in the last 14 days where the devil and angel have been talking at the same time directly into my ear. When this happens you can suffer from confusion and you wish it to stop. To take back the power here you must cut out the noise, refrain from giving the power to the angel or the devil and take the power back.
- This applies to your business life, personal life, any number of subjects, every experience we go through. The only way I can make this programme work and get to 28 days without giving in is to take the power back. Make the ego surrender and give in to my demands and make it understand what I wish to achieve.
BEST MOMENTS
‘There’s a devil on your shoulder and an angel on the other.’
‘You have to tell yourself you have no need for this thing you’ve attached such a big element of your life to. You do not need to consume.’
‘When my energy is low, I want to reach for food. If I allow the exhaustion and confusion to create a low energy within me, I’m more likely to give in and eat. The ego wants you to think of these things because it’s a comfortable habit you’ve created.’
‘I have chosen to take and reclaim the power, my ego will not define me any longer!’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Between 2017 and 2020, I went through 9 moves, three of which were to different states, 4 job losses, 4 failed attempts to start my business, 2 career changes, severe depression and a divorce. When I finally started my business, Proffit Coach, in October 2019, I was profitable in my first month and that’s because over the last couple of years I’d got to know more skills in my other endeavours, including sales and marketing.
- What happens, at a physiological level when we’re in a state of joy, we’re releasing those hormonal responses in our body – dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins – these are designed to optimise our systems. When you’re in those states we’re able to see a more expansive view which helps us solve challenges, be more present, be open to what’s next and new experiences and not stare longingly at the door that’s closed but be in a place of acceptance and learning from that and apply it to the next thing.
- Your guideposts should be your values, your intuition, and surrounding yourself with other people who are looking to stay outstanding, who are working on their mindsets, who are striving for that state of joy and achieving it more often than not. It doesn’t mean that you’re avoiding the negative feelings and the hardships, but are you finding purpose in those things? When there’s purpose you can find joy.
- Knowledge creates judgments over time, when we learn from the people around us there are things put on us over time that can begin to block our intuition. Learning how to access intuition is about feeling back some of the layers of knowledge that you’ve accepted as truth, evaluating your belief systems and finding out who you are instead of who you were told to be. Then intuition will begin taking the driver’s seat
BEST MOMENTS
‘At the heart of Proffit Coach is how to sell, market, run and be in your business in a very soul-aligned way. I do that in a mix of coaching, consulting, training and I integrate a lot of spiritual practices in the work – breathwork, oracle cards, prayer, etc.’
‘I feel like I was out on this Earth to help people pursue their passions and make money doing it. I feel like I attract people that want to make a positive impact on the world.’
‘People want to be around joy instead of fear, stress, complaining, woe is me, victim energy.’
‘Intuition is inside all of us. When we start getting feelings of dissonance, often that’s our intuition trying to get our attention.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Alison Proffit’s mission is to help mission-driven entrepreneurs feel more soulfulness and joy in their business in terms of both what they are doing and how they are doing it. Approaching business with joy as the leading indicator ultimately leads to more success, better connections, and higher-converting sales conversations. When we are joyful and doing business (and life) in a way that allows them to feel and sound like their most authentic self, they can impact the world and unleash a higher level of abundance in their life and business in a more soul-filling way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- When the time comes, when you squeeze the lemon of life will it be left half squeezed? Or will you make sure to squeeze every last drop out of that lemon? Every minute and ever molecule of your being should be set afire with joy, happiness, passion and with a smile.
- Do you want to wake up and own your day, or do you want your day to own you? You can choose to react and change what you do so that your results are different to the results you’ve been getting, or you can sit there and say I have no will, I will not take ownership, I forbid myself the responsibility to do so. There’s either more joy and happiness in life or less. But you choose.
- There have been a lot of things that we’ve clung to through Covid like I don’t need to work harder, I don’t need to wake up earlier, I don’t need to be happy, I don’t need to play harder. But we’ve been fooling ourselves. True freedom comes, not from fooling ourselves, but from expressing who we really are.
- If you’re over the age of 30, you’ll look back and see that you had more energy, confidence and freedom. This is because you didn’t hold grudges, bear pain, or attach to hurt. Do you want to be a younger version of yourself and get out of bed with vibrancy and vivacity, walk into work, the gym or down the street and be seen to have more energy. If the answer to that is yes, email me. I’m here to help you. I’ve been where you’ve been, to the bottom and back more times than I care to mention. Each time I’ve come back bigger and better.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Do you want to go through life with more smiles or less smiles?’
‘Do you want to do more of the things you enjoy doing? There’s one thing to do: Call me for a free 30 minute coaching call if you email me with the title “I want to be motivated”.’
‘We exude happiness. When you’re happy people can feel it, this makes them feel happy and they pass the feeling on to others. Before we know it we’re all a lot happier.’
‘Covid allowed me to go inside and affect my internal world. I’ve learned and harnessed how we can make every day more joyful and happy and spend more time smiling.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The impact I can have on everyone, and then everyone that they know, and the world as we see it means so much. As a society we’ve been encouraged to withdraw from emotions and become functioning machines. This has contributed to our misery, depression, anxiety, eating issues, buying issues, credit issues – all this stuff. My hope is to help people tap back into all the good stuff – which also means painful stuff – that is being a human.
- What’s the wound that we’re constantly reopening instead of healing once and for all, that’s why things don’t work, because we’re not addressing the problem. We’re outing band-aids over a dirty wound instead of actually tending to it and letting it heal. This work isn’t for everyone, but it’s about exploring the depths of this feeling, what could it possibly be stemming from, following the clues like a detective until we discover where it started.
- I believe we’re this tiny little being of energy when we’re born. Energy attracts like energy. Let’s say three things stick and they are that we didn’t feel supported, we felt alone and abandoned. We’ll keep attracting that until it becomes our energetic DNA and they become patterns. When someone comes to me and truly wants to shift the pattern, I ask them to pretend we absolutely must come up with answers to these questions: How is this pattern serving you? What’s the danger to stopping the pattern? Why is my life better for staying in this pattern? When we hear what the reasons are, the clarity makes it so simple to break the habit at that point. It’s like shining a light into the closet where the scary monsters live and showing that they don’t.
- I was into exploring Buddhism as a practice. I visited an event near me where the monks were making mandalas out of sand. It looked really cool, but then the wind blows it away after they’re finished. I got so uncomfortable with the fact they put so much effort into making something beautiful just for it to blow away. That made me see how attached I am to things… that’s why I was looking into Buddhism. That constant reminder for me helps me to be ready when change happens. Nothing is permanent and that’s what’s beautiful about life, otherwise nothing would ever grow and evolve and it’s also some of the painful things about life. I’m just better prepared for it and can remind myself that this is the way to something beautiful.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I use the term emotional health coach rather than emotional wellness coach because I feel like most people consider health over wellness and I want people to look at their emotions as a priority.’
‘I’m so emo! I love to cry because I’m so happy or because I’m so sad.’
‘Clients glorifying me and thinking I’m the solution to their problem is a red flag. I’m not the magic wand holder. When I am, my rates will skyrocket!’
‘Each part of us has individual needs, not just the whole of us. So, until they’re addressed, satiated, comforted, made to feel confident that it’s OK, then they’re constantly going to be activated which is what’s stopping us from getting our needs met. It’s so deep, but that’s part of the fun of it for me.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Heather’s story: There have been many times that I’ve needed help. I didn’t know who to turn to or if they would be willing to help me. I tried so many things on my own but was consistently disappointed that what I thought would be the solution to my problems wasn’t. And often I felt like a lost cause or that things would never change.
Multiple childhood traumas, the 20-year challenge of owning/operating 7 businesses, many award-winning. The struggle was that I didn’t have support in place issues, never felt good enough, and always seeing my failures. Then, add in my brother’s suicide, my own divorce – it became too much to handle and I had a quarter-life crisis.
As I was picking myself up from my meltdown, I was diagnosed with fertility issues and realised I was in an incredibly psychologically abusive relationship, I lost a lot of hope again. It may have been my lowest point actually. I was officially diagnosed with PTSD and anyone who saw me could tell there was something seriously wrong.
I had always been into personal development and so it was what I knew, I kept seeking and seeking, and over time I connected with the right support, experienced great processes, and from it, I have created my own methodology that works, quickly, effectively and long term. With this knowledge and system, I couldn’t sit back knowing others may be going through the same without sharing it.
My pain led me to my real passion! All the other stuff was an attempt but this is really it!
I have gratitude for my life experience and while it does equip me well to help others, I have also trained with the best coaches in the world (and still do)!
So, when you work with me you can trust I can relate AND I have the right tools to help you.
When we work together. I promise you’ll discover things about yourself that surprise and empower you.
You will learn these tools and techniques to help you live the most joyful & authentic life!
It's never too late to go for the life of your dreams - full of deeply connected relationships, more fun & leisure, balance, financial freedom & whatever your heart desires!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- About 10-20 minutes into my swimming training this morning I realised that my head was in the wrong position. There’s an instinctive want to see where you’re going when swimming, but the best way to do it is to look straight down. I realised that I was in the moment, focussing on my head position and I was humbled by that.
- I guarantee you that when you’re walking you’re looking forwards and thinking about something that doesn’t affect you at that moment. Next time you’re walking (in an open space, not on a street next to a road), close your eyes and focus on your body; what happens when you put one foot in front of the other, where are you connecting to the ground with your feet? How do your arms move?
- With a body scan, start at your toes and check in with them. How do they feel? Wiggle just one toe. What happens when you move all of your toes? Circle your ankles, how do they feel? Move up the body and scan each part of the body, take the time to slowly check in and if you feel there’s a certain part that needs more attention, that’s where you should direct your efforts.
BEST MOMENTS
‘We’re gonna get there sooner or later guys, there’s no need to look’
‘I was training myself to be present, you can do this by meditating or simply walking.’
‘People tell me all the time that they can’t meditate: Get present. Start practicing being present.’

In this episode Gavin is back in the car, driving around London, and talking to us about how wonderful acknowledgement is, even its most simple forms.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- We all seek acknowledgement. The way that the world has been crafted and structured in the past, acknowledgement is but of the ego. We crave to be seen, we crave to be heard. But only in the sense of the accolades of society.
- Those accolades – BA, PhD, business partnerships and awards – all acknowledge attachments, not the self or spirit. We need to acknowledge the present moment, our existence.
- I see you, my listeners, I feel you, my listeners, I hear you, my listeners. I acknowledge in this moment every single one of you for the life force beings that you are, for the good that you do in your environments, your surroundings, in your communities. I acknowledge the essence that emanates and radiates beyond your physical being. I acknowledge your contribution to the collective force, to the raising of the vibrations of consciousness that are now taking place across the world.
- You must have the integrity, the curiosity to go within, to see the darkness in light and the light in darkness and accept what is, what has been and move forwards as a powerful creation, creating nothing more but your path and the future.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Was it nice to have your ears acknowledged? How did you and your ears feel upon receiving such a compliment?’
‘It isn’t enough for me to just acknowledge you. I encourage you to acknowledge yourself and others in the way I have described.’
‘Be not the best version of yourself that society has come to use a catchphrase without meaning. I encourage you to encourage others to become valued members of your community.’
‘Acknowledge every part of yourself.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Five years ago I was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, just after my wife’s Dad passed away from Stage IV lung cancer. I had cancer in my lymph nodes, stomach and liver. It wasn’t go. After crying for two days we decided to attack this challenge, trying different types of pharmaceuticals and holistic treatments, but I’m a big believer that I’m here today because I did it all.
- Meditation is a major thing I do every day, for 10 minutes or 3 hours. It’s amazing when you calm your mind down and focus and meditate on what you really want to do. My head was always so busy thinking about things going on at work, my kids and my wife, meditation has taught me to control the outside pressures of the world and focus on the important things. Visualisation is huge. I created my own ‘healing room’ which is like something out of Start Wars and Star Trek where I imagined I was laying on a high-tech bed and a scanner was taking away the cancer.
- I got to the point where I visualised that everything going in me was killing the cancer; I’d drink a glass of water and say “this is awesome, it’s killing the cancer”, or “the air is so clean, it’s awesome, it’s killing the cancer”, I’d have a steak – which is probably not the best for me – I’d go “the steak in there is killing it”. That was my mindset: Everything that’s going into my body is killing my cancer. Then my wife said maybe I should stop fighting the cancer and acknowledge it and talk to it and try to convince it to leave.
- My life was so busy before that I missed a lot of important moments in my life and my family’s life that were right in front of me. I wish O could go back to my kids growing up the way I am now. It’s amazing how, when you slow your mind down and focus on the beautiful things in life, there’s so much positivity and amazing thing surrounding you, but you don’t notice them because our minds are so full. We miss out on life.
BEST MOMENTS
‘The mind and body was the biggest part I worked on and it helped me grow. It filled a void.’
‘Taking ‘Body Talk’ classes was new to me and I thought it was a bit hokey, but once you get into it it’s absolutely amazing how it can change your life. I believe it saved my life.’
‘I visualised the future and believing I was in that future and it had already happened. Seeing my kids married, playing with my grandchildren created such a powerful feeling in my body that my body believed I was there and I was alive and healthy. If you can do that it’s done, and the healing is happening.’
‘Our body is 99% energy/information and 1% matter. If you can change your energy you can change your life.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
After being diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, and being told he had 12 months to live, Terri Mah went on an extraordinary journey of self-development and learning which ultimately resulted in his complete healing.

In this episode Gavin is back in the car, driving around London, and talking to us about the fact he’s back in the pool training for his swim across the Gibraltar Straits Challenge and some words of encouragement he took from a guy at the pool.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I was swimming at a pace to try to qualify to swim my challenge and a guy asked me about it and commented on my style. Since I’ve started training for the last year I’ve come a long way but I haven’t been working with a coach for a long time, so I don’t know how well I’m doing. So, words of encouragement from a complete stranger were nice to hear and helped me improve my times by 10-15%.
- I’ve gone from bi-lateral breathing to breathing once every two strokes to improve my glide, improve my stroke and keep more oxygen in my lungs.
- Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, be kind to each other, be pleasant, be happy, smile, make other people smile. The world is a better place if we’re all happier and nicer to each other. Who doesn’t want that?
BEST MOMENTS
‘When swimming you know when you’re exhausting yourself and you know when you’re in flow.’
‘There’s people walking around with weapons out there but I’m not allowed to film my training sessions for this challenge. Maybe the general manager of my pool here will bend the rules and let me.’
‘Go out into your world today and give somebody some words of encouragement. See how it feels to give those words of encouragement. In time they’ll come back to you, then see how it feels to receive them. Not how it makes you feel.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I had the most success on my weight loss journey when I started to blog because it gave me the ultimate accountability, so I couldn’t just hot the fridge in those dark moments and stuff my face. But my Instagram tells a slightly different story these days after my diagnosis.
- I had been going to the doctors for a while with different things going on in my body and, because you couldn’t see a doctor during Covid, I was put on a lot of video consultations and was given physio to do at home. Then I went into hospital with a really crackly voice which they said was down to wearing my PPE. Then I noticed a pea-sized lump at the base of my neck, so I asked specifically for a face-to-face appointment which ended up being stage 4 double lung cancer with a rare form of mutation and it had spread to my spine and pelvis. In a matter of seconds my life just changed.
- You have to accept that you have to ride those emotions out. There are days that I’m frustrated, angry, trying to lay blame: “It must be someone’s fault”, it’s a natural human instinct to have. You’ll never know the answer to your questions about it, so you just have to ride it out.
- People shouldn’t be scared of their voices. It’s really important to really in tune and listen to your body. For some people it’s a hard habit to get into, you see the shower or the bath as something functional, you have to do it before you get to where you need to be. You need to be in tune and know what’s normal in your body. I didn’t know the shoulder was linked to the lung! If I can share this information with other people and give them the confidence to go and get check, that keeps me going.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Having the diagnosis I got was shit, but I’ve made peace with it now and I think that’s the first thing you should do. I could cry all day long and crawl under a rock but what will I achieve? I can’t change it.’
‘I’ve got a job to do now being an advocate and an inspiration for my son who’s just about to turn 13.’
‘It was explained to me basically that two cells met on the wrong pathway, they collided and sparked a firework. I did nothing wrong, it was all out of my control.’
‘I want to see parts of the world or even the country I’ve never been to, and I’d love to meet a member of the Royal Family, specifically William and Kate!’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jules, was misdiagnosed by GPs on various occasions and has sadly been diagnosed with Stage 4 incurable lung cancer adenocarcinoma EGFR mutation spread to the spine and pelvis at the age of 37.
Jules is an amazing lady who, even though she is going through the toughest of times, remains positive and determined to help others and raise awareness of lung cancer. She remains positive and up-beat and being able to raise money for this one of a kind charity will bring the biggest smile to her face.

In this episode Gavin is back in the car and talking to us about a visit to an art shop with his step sister. Art shops are a different environment that Gavin is used to being in, despite the fact it’s still a business environment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My sister was talking to the shop assistant who had her face almost entirely obscured by a mask and glasses and this lady turns to my sister and says ‘you’re the prettiest lady I’ve ever seen. She’s never met Natalie and has no reason to say that, but it made her day and they started to converse and then Natalie and I wished her a nice afternoon and evening. We all left feeling positive.
- We’re so programmed to not think about others around us, we have our busy lives to get places and do things, especially in cities. There’s a natural instinctive pressure to be somewhere else. If you’re trying to get somewhere else you’re not being present.
- If everything is energy and energy is everything, which we know the world is, what we put out into the world is what it will give back.
- Monitor and write down things that you’ve said during the day. You’ll find that they will have just come out in the moment, responding in the moment. Once you’ve acknowledged that scenario you were in could have been different if you’d said something else, perhaps write that down below what you did say. Then put it out into the world, actively change the words and language you’re using and direct that language through a much more heart centred, loving combination of words.
BEST MOMENTS
‘How we choose to use our words and direct them can have an impact on somebody close to us or somebody around us.’
‘It was only by being present that I was able to receive a gift from and give a gift back to that lady.’
‘How often do you think about what you’re saying, or determine that you want to live more in heart and give more love top the world by choosing your words and language and how you’re going to direct them?’
‘If you don’t become are you’ll never change. It doesn’t take up that much time, you can still do the things you would otherwise do’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined again by Dinah Schultz who is here to continue their conversation. In the second part of the episode, Dinah explains a bit more about the zero waste community she has joined in Portugal.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- It was a strong decision for me to move to Portugal from Germany and not everyone understood it, but they were calling me and I could hear it super-loud. When I make a decision I go for it. I had a really intense experience of leaving because Covid meant I couldn’t say goodbye properly. But, I bought a van a year and a half ago and I now live in that van with the community project.
- In the community we teach yoga and how to properly dispose of waste as well as Portuguese lessons to help us integrate into the local society. We also teach about masturbation, sexuality, and other processes that – as a woman – you don’t really know about. It’s another very big topic I’m learning about now! There’s so much shame around all these topics as well as a lack of knowledge. It’s about connecting with yourself in this way as well.
- When we are all really committing, showing up and are dedicated to do the work we are doing, that we need these places where it’s possible to do that and heal old wounds, not just from us but from our ancestors. I’m creating a new way of living without criticising the one I had before, creating something new, finding ways and experimenting with how it can work for everyone.
- A lot of people don’t want to see it, they feel uncomfortable. And if that’s the way you are, I won’t be able to change your point of view. But, if you are open and feel things are a little bit weird or off for you then please do something and don’t put alcohol, food or drugs on top of it and think it’ll go away. There are so many options and the best way to start id to start small.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I was feeling really bad and the Earth was saying you “have to be here”, that’s when I realised I had to focus either on the community project in Portugal or the store in Germany.’
‘The transition to living a nature-connected life made me feel instantly at home.’
‘We would like to create a space for people to live as their authentic and true self. We want to have everybody in their full potential, power and passion. It will be like heaven on Earth.’
‘I can really do something beautiful with my excrement, it’s gold for growing food. It’s not bad or disgusting.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Dinah Schultz had what most people would consider a good job in a big company, earning good money, but she wasn’t happy. She started seeing a psychologist and by getting this heal and getting to know herself she decided to get in contact to her inner child again and turned her back on what others expected her to do and follow her path to starting her own zero waste, vegan friendly café/shop in Germany and eventually moving to live in a community project in Portugal.
ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.

This is the first episode of the podcast Gavin has made since the podcast began being published, so the beginning of the episode is about saying thank you to everyone who has listened so far and has given feedback, which includes allegations of preachiness.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Some of the feedback I’ve received on the podcast so far is that I come across a bit preachy at times. I can assure you I’m not trying to do that, and I’ll try to do a better job in the future. It’s difficult to get one’s opinion across in this format as I can’t see your reaction.
- I’ve been on my own journey of self-help/improvement/betterment, however you wish to phrase it. I’ve got one eye on creating the best content I can and another in the direction in which I want to take it. This is part of my own journey that I’m sharing with you and if parts of it resonates with you, great, if parts don’t, that’s no problem at all.
- By improving my own craft I’ll get better. What’s interesting is that in self-improvement it’s the same thing: New level, new devil. Each time you improve it doesn’t mean you’ve reached your full potential, it just means you’ve reached a new level of being/contentment/fulfilment. We need to take one step at a time rather than trying to get there all at once. Break it down.
- I really do hope you guys get value and insight from this and I appreciate your continued feedback. It’s documenting my own journey and hopefully will help other who are or were in a similar position of changing careers.
BEST MOMENTS
‘This is about me sharing my experiences with you and sharing the experiences of my guests with you.’
‘It’s important to have one eye on what’s going on now and one on the periphery, on what’s going on in the distance.’
‘I hope you guys can feel what it’s like to start a new career, a new venture.’
‘Use the information you’re getting from within. Don’t listen to people commenting. Be confident in your own being and your own direction.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Dinah Schultz who is here to talk about her journey to reconnecting with herself after being too preoccupied with the corporate world and worrying too much about what others thought she should be doing. She shares how she meditates through yoga, but also how those who don’t feel comfortable with sitting still can achieve a deep connection with their inner child.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In my late-20s I was questioning what love is, what I was doing with my life, why I’m here and I quit my job without anything to go on to. Something inside of my wanted to come out, but it felt big and scary. I took a year off and decided I want to open a café where you can read books, that sold vegan food and promoted coming together with music and talking. People tried to talk me out of it and the cycle started again in my 30s. I noticed it this time and decided to really find something I was interested in and to find my place.
- Meditation with my inner child was a big thing for me, to really connect with this part of me, and to tune back into myself with meditation and yoga because I was a lot outside myself, in other people’s feelings and what other people thought about me, I wasn’t in contact with myself. Day-to-day practicing of these things is like training a muscle.
- Some people find it hard to sit still and meditate so they find it easier to go for a walk or a drive or riding a bike. I was guided in my first inner child meditation, I met her face to face and she was so mad at me and screaming “what are you doing?! You are not in contact with nature, you loved nature as a kid, you wanted to save the ocean!”
- Hearing about all the animals in the ocean dying from our trash helped me to be more aware of the trash I create and made me want to join the Zero Waste Movement. My whole lifestyle changed because I was questioning everything that I was using, including all the stuff I was put into my face, what I buy, where I buy it and what happens afterwards when I throw it away – there is no away, you have to be aware of what happens afterwards with that product.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I don’t feel awakened, I just feel myself being more awake, more aware, more questioning things, more feeling into things.’
‘There are many ways to meditate and connect with your inner self, there’s no one way for everyone. Some are easy and others are not so easy.’
‘I’d never had a moment before where I’d really loved myself. I was crying, I was so touched by that feeling.’
‘I felt like I can do anything, I don’t know how to do it but I do it and it just works.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve seen so many people, frequently including myself, at a restaurant, at a pub, at a bar, in a park, on their own or with friends and family, having a drink. One person is speaking, some are listening and some are on their phones. When you’re on your phones you tend to look down and you can see who’s around you, who’s leaving the room or coming into the room. Maybe this place you’re in is the place you’re going to mee a partner, a business colleague, someone who could come into your life and have an effect, but you won’t see it happening.
- Crossing the road only using your ears rather than your sight. You could be hit by a car, you could have seen it coming and had the opportunity not to be hit by that car if only you’d opened your eyes.
- There’s a moment where you could have connected with someone. If you’d just looked up and smiled, you could have made them smile too. Smile and the world smiles with you.
- I was talking about investments the other night and it got my excited. If I had not been participating in that conversation at the moment and I was looking down at my phone I could have missed out on the opportunity to invest with likeminded, knowledgeable people about investing in rare whiskey or cryptocurrencies.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’ve started to raise my phone to my eye-level instead of looking down when I’m using my phone’
‘The world needs smiles right now.’
‘As an entrepreneur, I can’t tell you how much joy I take from opportunities.’
‘What a great opportunity I’ve been gifted in traffic to improve my ability to be patient.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I think the term entrepreneurship has evolved. When you look in the dictionary is says an entrepreneur would take a risk in the hop of profit, but I don’t think hope is a strategy. What the modern entrepreneur does is create useful and meaningful products and services that make a difference and matter to potentially vast numbers of people. Entrepreneurs like to stay lean and agile, to do multiple ventures, not just one – unlike small and large business owners – and they evolve as there’s disruption and change.
- Zoom exploded in lockdown and Deliveroo did great business. You might say they had the right business model, but you could have evolved. It was illegal to do events during the lockdown and I own an events company that did north of $15million a year in revenue with 85-odd staff in that company. An entrepreneur will get past the frustrations and ask what’s the new problem and what’s the new solution, where are the new opportunities?
- All of the standard things people say are good for impacting your energy: sleep, good diet, exercise, cold showers are great. But all of them combined don’t get close to having your passion as your profession and your vocation being your vacation. You could give a teenager the worst food and they would still play a video game for 16 hours through the night, no sweat. Why? Because they love it. I can burn the midnight oil in that way because I love what I do and I do what I love.
- I don’t think I’m outstanding or great at one thing, I’m a jack of a few trades. But to Stay Outstanding means to stand out and to stand out is to unapologetically be yourself because naturally, if you are truly yourself you will stand out because we are all individuals.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I can’t think of a business idea I haven’t used, which means I’m either doing too much or I’m pretty productive.’
‘The real pandemic has been fear, it’s lowered the global consciousness.’
‘Passion, controlled, is the greatest source of energy mankind can tap into and I don’t know why no one else really talks about it.’
‘If you want to make a difference in many people’s lives you’re going to piss people off along the way. If you’re not pissing people off you’re not doing enough and you’re not putting yourself out there enough and you’re not being authentic enough.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks from his car, driving across London as he is visiting his Dad in London who is unwell at the moment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I met with some old friends on Friday night, and I’d not seen a few of them in two years due to Covid and we had a great time, staying out til 6 in the morning. On Saturday we went for dinner and drinks and continued into the night, and it was a lot of fun. I was also thinking about who I should be seeing as my Dad has just got out of hospital and is fairly vulnerable. I woke up late on the Sunday to see family
- I don’t think as humans – and particularly as men – we stop to understand what that actually does for us. It was love, care, joy, support. When that comes in such big waves and doses you really get off on a high. You are loved. But the ego can get involved, and when you’re not in those waves it can tell you that you’re not loved. This happens more so when you’re struggling, and times are challenging, and you begin to think you’re alone.
- You’re not in those people’s minds when you’re asking, do my family and friends think about me, do they really love me, do they miss me? But when you’re present with them you really do feel their love and support. Just because you’re not present with them – for whatever reason – it doesn’t mean that the love, care support and joy has changed. Your ego is choosing to change the way that you perceive, it’s taking control and playing tricks on you. The reality is those people’s love doesn’t change. It’s there.
- That feeling of the big waves of love and joy can be felt all the time, we just choose not to. We have to override what our brain tells us, especially in today’s world where we’re so busy that we don’t take the time to control the mind. But take the time, give gratitude for all the loved ones, friends and family you’ve got in your life. Even if you’re going through a hard time right now, you’ll have someone, everybody’s got someone. Choose to accept their love every moment of every day and don’t let it weaken. Love it back.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It was such a joy to see people after so long.’
‘Ego is a beautiful thing, but unless we control it, it can be a nasty thing.’
‘You choose that that love and support is not there when it categorically is! It’s there every day.’
‘We are all the same: We are beings of light and love.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Steve Sharpley, and ex-Silicon Valley corporate worker and author of the book ‘Success Is A Mind Game’, who got into the world of leadership and high performance deliverance for corporates after having slight meltdown himself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My meltdown wasn’t a serious one, I just got hacked off with management leadership – in 15 years I’d only had one good boss – and quit without anything to go on to. I then drove around the Scottish countryside for two weeks to clear my head. When I came back my girlfriend at the time asked me what I really wanted to do, that really got me thinking about what was really important to me. So, I took a psychology degree and a masters in change, performance and leadership.
- The practical psychology where you’re understanding the human condition, which is at the heart of my book – Success Is A Mind Game. I’d been introduced to that about 10 years before I wrote the book and it changed the way I viewed life. I realised that I’d messed my life up by how I thought about situations, especially if things didn’t turn out the way I thought they should.
- As we get out of a downward spiral of thinking our state comes back up as well towards being more present. It can be as simple as reading a joke, going to have a cup of tea or coffee and really concentrating on the taste and the flavours in your mouth.
- I was trying to help people translate what they’re reading into an experience, so they learn to notice things and reflect on that to make their own sense. Don’t try to think to much about things, listen for a feeling, see if it shifts how you feel. Hopefully you’ll feel more calm and connected. When our mind quietens down, we naturally get more creative. Our feelings are an infallible guide for our internal state of mind, we can’t manufacture them or make them be one thing if they’re something else.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I want to help people have a better experience at work and be even more effective.’
‘I started seeing the links between golf and business and my experience, going back to the game with my new understanding transformed my game. I was able to be in it, present, not thinking about anything else.’
‘The mind is not bad or good, it’s a tool. Like our intellect.’
‘We need to unlearn and re-discover a lot of things we know intuitively. When kids get upset their parents distract them and give them something else to do or a bit of attention, as adults we forget that that’s all we need as well.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Steve Sharpley was born in York, UK and moved to the United States when he was 20 to work in Silicon Valley. In his mid-30s he moved back to the UK after becoming disillusioned with the corporate world and having a slight meltdown. He then went back to university to study people change, leadership and high performance deliverance and taught this at corporations for a further 15 years after which he moved away east where he has been for the last nine years between Singapore, Malaysia and Laos.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about an experience he had recently of swimming in a pool that he was sharing with a couple of other people, some of whom were not adhering to the rules of the pool and how he turned frustration into joy by being aware of both his feelings and those of the people around him.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A child started swimming across the lanes down which us three swimmers were doing lengths. Eventually he did start doing lengths, but he was bobbing up and down for breath and swam across out paths and that frustrated me, because I was distracted I couldn’t dedicate 100% to my practice.
- I thought, this kid needs to be encourage, and his skills need to be nurtured if he wants to be a swimmer. I got a float and went back to the pool and told him he was doing really great, which seemed to surprise him. I gave him the float and told him to put it between his legs and try the front crawl, which he does and begins to swim better and faster.
- What was that little fish doing in the big fish’s world? The big fish didn’t want the little fish in his world, but he came to realise he needed the small fish in his world. A small fish can never become a big fish and lead, and impact change, unless encouraged and nurtured. It’s such an important time where one interaction can impact a child’s later life.
- It’s really important for us as a society, a community, a business, whatever your area of leadership is, to empower and enable those in the food chain below you. It’s almost your responsibility and duty to do so. In this way we can impact and create the world that we want to live in.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I wasn’t listening to music and ended up listening to my inner voice and perhaps my head wasn’t in the right mindset.’
‘He didn’t like the idea that he wasn’t in control, with this float rocking him around.’
‘I love swimming, it’s a great sport that you can do anywhere; in a river, a lake or a pool.’
‘We need to become more aware of our surroundings.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined for the second part of their chat by entrepreneur and intuitive business coach Graham Scheiblich who talks about how to centre yourself, how to meditate and the benefits of meditation in all aspects of your life, from business to personal relationships. In this half of the conversation, Graham turns the tables somewhat on Gavin and things get deep.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As an entrepreneur, you’ll be surrounded by a lot of noise. It’s important to stay aware of current affairs, but you have to see yourself as a separate creative being. Knowing yourself in your environment is something you should spend some time in – people usually only experience this at huge life events like the birth of a child or the death of a loved one. When we experience ourselves like this intentionally, we see that we have greater choice and power of creativity over how we move about in the world and our environment. It brings a different perspective.
- Be aware of the stories we tell and the mythologies we place around ourselves and spend a few moment with the times in our lives where we might have taken on more than we were ready to, developmentally, and it’s had an effect on us and we haven’t given ourselves the time and the space to allow ourselves to be the vulnerable person who had expectations about themselves and we’ve carried that through to today.
- If we allow ourselves to spend some time with the felt sense, the pain that’s locked away and allow our bodies to release that, we’re not carrying such a heavy load anymore. If you’ve got a sports car in the garage and it’s full of luggage, it’s not going to perform very well.
- Success and freedom mean something different to everybody. It’s easy to set goals that are inappropriate to who you are. If you’re out of touch with who you are, it’s really easy to measure yourself against what other people have. Always know yourself well enough to know what’s right for you. Celebrate the little wins you generate in your everyday life. Sometimes success is just a feeling, checking in with your body in the morning. Start from there and build a framework to get where you want to go filled with good stuff. Success will come quickly from there.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Never feel like a wallflower in a group presentation. A good leader will focus on that wallflower and get them to speak and usually they’ll floor everyone because they’ve been sitting back, listening and taking it all in.’
‘These are the stories that contain the raw material that people carry around with them all the time, unresolved.’
‘The stories we tell about ourselves don’t allow us to liberate ourselves from the conditions that we or the world have put on ourselves.’
‘With our mind we create the world, but before the mind creates the world the world created our mind. We don’t always know what we’re carrying with us.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Graham Scheiblich has been an entrepreneur for 20 years, starting out as a contractor on building sites taught him to see tangible results very quickly and he realised that he was heavily influenced by someone he apprenticed under. This man was incredibly intuitive and flowed through his craft, being able to see where any flaws were and had a vision for how things should be done and quality control.

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Accountability is the fact or condition of being accountable, or responsible. Lack of accountability has eroded public interest in business and political leaders.
- Questions arise when you are held accountable by someone else, not just that you did what you say but why you’re doing it, how you did it, etc. This is a positive; they are helping you be the best version of yourself and grow.
- An accountability partner is someone that you can trust to hold you accountable, whether that’s a friend or family member that checks in on you on a weekly basis. If you don’t have one, or you’re scared of talking to someone close to you about being accountable, email in to the show and we’ll help find you one.
- Whatever it is you’re doing you need to be following your passion, don’t keep brutalising yourself to follow something that doesn’t fulfil you. Don’t rely on habit. Your ego doesn’t like change, even if you think you do. If you cannot stand guardian to the door of your mind you aren’t going to be able to change a habit.
BEST MOMENTS
‘When you are held accountable, simply put, you are held to do what you say.’
‘To have a level of accountability there has to be recognition of what out is you want to achieve.’
‘Simply asking a question: “How am I going to change?” starts you on the road to accountability.’
‘Clarity is power.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by entrepreneur and intuitive business coach Graham Scheiblich who talks about how to centre yourself, how to meditate and the benefits of meditation in all aspects of your life, from business to personal relationships.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Everything we do when we follow our gut is how we can move through our lives, whether that’s in business, relationships or just within ourselves. Listening to your gut not only allows you to move more quickly and efficiently, but it’s almost like collapsing time because there are no mistakes.
- We’re so consumed with the physical – our body, material things around us and our activities – that we forget that we exist on other levels and dimensions of experience where there’s much more space and less of the forms. By getting quiet and putting yourself into a much more actively aware state (meditation), you can experience yourself at those levels of spaciousness and that practice saved me at 15 years old and it saved my life.
- Abundance is recognising that you have everything you need in this moment. The block is not being able to see that because of thoughts in our head about right and wrong, good and bad and creating judgements around the situation that you’re in. When you do start to recognise that you’re OK and everything you absolutely need are being provided for you, things will start to flow towards you more to provide more abundance and you can start to add the desire for prosperity. By putting those desires out into the world you’ll start to call those things towards you too.
- When it comes to manifestation your best bet is to do it all at once, otherwise you can spend a lot of time contemplating and getting stuck in the old traps.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I wake up at 5 and do a meditation and some journaling and take care of my hygiene. Then at 5:30 I’ll go into a 3-hour deep work block, then a HIIT workout and breakfast. From 10-12 I’ll work some more then noon-5pm I’m on the phone on coaching and sales calls.’
‘My ideal day, as a surfer is: get up before sunrise and go for a morning surf. Being in that environment really grounds you.’
‘The person who is fully aware meditates.’
‘You create a life in the moment you sit in.’
ABOUT THE GUEST

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I played tennis yesterday badly, well below my standard which really frustrated me. After the game I had a beer, which tasted nice, so I had another beer and some more and some glasses of wine. At the end of the session I get on my bike and begin listening to David Goggins and he says: “you determine your mind, not your mind”.
- Why was it that I determined that I was going to walk up the hill away from the tennis club with my bike? The mind and body is most comfortable when it doesn’t have to work. This is my mind and body telling me not to work. I get motivated by David Goggins and I get in the bike and ride up the hill.
- My cycle there and back was almost exactly the same time, the first was done with a mindset of getting there without straining myself, the second was done with the mindset of getting home safe.
- The only question is: Does your greatness arise naturally, or are you forced to tap into your greatness as and when you are challenged, irrespective to the level of challenge? You mind will tell you what to do, but will you allow it? We are the drivers of our own mind.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If I’d allowed myself to predetermine walking up the hill, I would have walked up the hill.’
‘Most speakers will tell you motivation only gets you so far, but if you’re feeling inspired and you have an absolute need, then you can achieve greatness.’
‘I’m not suggesting the my cycling home with a few drinks inside of my in the semi-darkness signifies greatness. What I mean is the greatness in my wouldn’t allow me to quit.’
‘A challenge is different for each and evey one of us is different and so is our individual greatness.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Michael Arnold for the second part of their conversation, where they talk much more about the processes involved in Five Element Acupuncture Treatment (FEAT) and the benefits of it that can affect everything from fertility to performance and work and inner peace.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Occasionally in Five Element Acupuncture, there’s a meridian that runs right up the centre of the body and when it gets blocked the person has no energy. The treatment to clear that blockage involves placing a needle on the perineum. I’ve seen amazing changes in people who’ve had this treatment; people having babies who have been trying for a long time, people whose energy has been low for a really long time – like chronic fatigue – have got better.
- Treating unexplained infertility is something we can do because it’s all about relieving stress. Women stress that if they’ve not had a baby before they’re 35 and this puts stress on the body, including the uterus. When there are high levels of cortisol, the stress hormone, the proteins in the lining of the uterus that bind the embryo once it fertilises reduce, so you’re less likely to get implantation.
- Lots of people live in fight or flight mode, where they’re expected to do more and more at their job while being a good friend and partner and this keeps people living in a high state of stress. Mental stress still triggers fight or flight, tensing up the muscles and your body feels like it’s under physical stress.
- Just knowing we can trust in ourselves to do and say the right things, we don’t have to have everything planned, we don’t have to control everything in our life. You can use this at work as well, you can go into a meeting and trust that you’re going to say the right thing without pre-planning everything. It will be more genuine because it’s coming from a place of curiosity and responding the uniqueness of the situation. I love seeing people go about their lives in a different way in a level of peace that they haven’t felt before.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I felt buzzy, fuzzy, wuzzy.’
‘The research on female fertility dropping off a cliff at age 35 is well out of date, there’s hardly any difference between fertility between 35 and 45.’
‘Acupuncture has been shown to increase blood flow to the reproductive organs, rebalance the fertility hormones, reduce stress hormones, increase endorphins and serotonin.’
‘You need to embrace allowing, not trying harder and pushing.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
While studying Neuroscience at University College London (UCL) Michael started to suffer from insomnia. A friend suggested he try acupuncture and he was blown away by the results. Within six weeks Michael had no difficulty sleeping. Not only that, but he started to feel more vibrant and happier than ever before.
To find out more he began looking into the scientific literature. For his final project at UCL MIchael designed and carried out a small placebo-controlled trial of acupuncture for pain relief.
He became convinced of its effectiveness above and beyond a mere placebo. Michael then undertook a three year accredited training at the School of Five Element Acupuncture (SOFEA).
The more he learned about acupuncture the more he was amazed by its insights into the workings of the human body and mind.
As well as diagnosis and treatment methods, he learned about patients' concerns and fears and how to put people at ease.
Michael continues to work in the field of acupuncture research. He has been involved in a large review of the evidence for acupuncture's role in the treatment of depression. This was published by the Cochrane Collaboration - a reliable source of evidence in health care.
In 2015 he opened his own acupuncture school.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Because I’ve been doing things differently I’m experiencing a lot of discomfort and in some instances pain generated from historical injuries and episode which over the years I’ve managed to learn to cope with or manage. Travelling or not sleeping in good environments, late nights, early mornings, dehydration, carrying a lot of things tend to set off issue in my back.
- If I’d planted the seeds that things were going to be different and challenging while on the road and I’d attributed that to my knowledge and experience of going on the road I think my mindset would have been much more welcoming to the challenge.
- I feel like I’m managing it as best I can, but I know I’m mentally throwing my toys out of the pram. How many times do we take the approach of looking at things from the outside rather than blame ourselves and feel guilty?
- Maybe I should start by getting out there and creating more joy while I’m going through this challenging time? I need to maintain my headstrong direction.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I should have known I was going to hit challenges and I should have prepared my mindset, but I didn’t.’
‘There’s a lot of frustration and anger at the moment. Why does this always happen every time I’m on the road?’
‘I’ve got a lot to prove, I’m not an athlete or even a trained amateur.’
‘Why am I making such a big deal out of this for my mindset?’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- My grandmother was a friend and mentor to me. She was a photographer who had worked in Hollywood and photographed Marilyn Monroe and Malcolm X and went to communist Russia and China in the 1970s. She had a great attitude, chutzpah, she wasn’t held back by the idea that something couldn’t be done just because it hadn’t been done before.
- Some patients I see want to wait to wait for their fear to subside before facing it, but facing it, recognising it and validating it is much better for you than hiding from it.
- Practice allowing. If you have a feeling or emotion trapped in your body and you can locate it, sit with it a while and notice what it feels like then you can release it. You’ll notice the tension in your body dissipate and the emotion can change into one that feels better.
- I was suffering from insomnia for a long time after a friend of mine committed suicide. My mother suggested I try acupuncture. After my first session I felt like something had shifted, I felt lighter and I could feel emotions and warmth from the people around me. My acupuncturist said he’d noticed that I was cut off from the world and had treated that, he suggested that I should grieve for my friend, which I hadn’t done. When I did allow it I felt a sense of peace, pushing away the emotion was causing me suffering and had caused my insomnia. Within six weeks my sleep was back to normal but the sense of peace stayed with me.
BEST MOMENTS
‘These days people worry that they haven’t ‘made it’ if they haven’t done so before their 30s which isn’t true.’
‘The more you stretch yourself outside your comfort zone the more fulfilled you’ll be.’
‘I’d much rather risk looking stupid than give up on something I’m passionate about.’
‘Crisis is often necessary for evolution, both on a personal level or a global level. We all have immense power within.’

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

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- What is it that makes people not pay attention to the rubbish left on the beach? There’s probably an education problem, bad habits and more upsetting than anything, bad attitude.
- How many people, if they woke up and found pollution in the lounge and opened their front door to see a barrage of litter and pollution. Would their awareness be different than their awareness was down on the beach yesterday? I think it would be 1000% different, because they would be aware of it.
- It’s one thing to use plastics at a supermarket to bag your shopping, it’s another to litter it across our beautiful surroundings. What would you say if I called you up and I said “Hey, guess what I’m doing? I’m littering in my surroundings!” You’d probably ask if I was feeling alright.
- Just because people work to clear the bins doesn’t mean that you can litter the beach. We are responsible and obliged to change the action.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Lead by example.’
‘No one was batting an eyelid to the litter metres from the sea.’
‘It makes me feel angry.’
‘If we know thee is power in community then we simply must make more communities.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I really really focus on creating a heart-to-heart connection in any conversation that I’m having, whether that’s somebody from a big company or my neighbour.
- It was beautiful to spend so much time with my family while working just as well from home during the lockdowns. We must try to take those learnings out of quarantine into normal life. The realisation of how important family life is to me became very very clear on a very personal level. On a global level it’s this aspect that everybody experienced something different during the pandemic, but it touched all of us one way or another.
- Find your own definition of success. I feel most people see success as a good career, a fancy title or a lot of money. But if you know what success means to you it’s a lot easier to see where you need to go.
- I’m a believer in manifestation in the form of being very clear about what you desire and what you want and clearing up your own shit in your house. Then you can create something. Nothing ever happens if you sit around watching TV and hoping for good things to happen. If I wanted to get into the corporate space I would think through all the strengths that I have that would suit me to that life, think of a very strong reason I want to do it and then share that desire with people I know who could open doors for me.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Heart is within all of us, we can all access it. Even in a conference setting!’
‘Your higher vibration is already there, but it may be hidden in some way or another.’
‘You take yourself everywhere you go, your worries will still catch up with you when you travel, travelling is not a cure.’
‘It’s mind-boggling and incredibly sad to see the increase in plastic pollution and you can’t even pick it all up anymore because it’s so tiny.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jan Broders is an internationally sought-after coach and speaker with clients from LA to Hong Kong, from Dubai to Berlin.
After burning out at the age of only 27 (literally collapsing in the middle of the hotel lobby he was working at) Jan had to spend two months in a clinic to recover and get back on his feet. That day was the worst and best day of his life as it led him to turn around completely. Jan travelled the world for three years, became a dad, and started his own coaching practice. Today he lives in Mallorca, Spain with his wife and 2 kids.
Jan has run his exclusive coaching practice for seven years now, supporting high achievers and working with large corporations on implementing mindfulness, stress management, and resilience programs. He has coached supermodels, executives, members of parliament, doctors & psychologists.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the many types of doom that exist in the world, from natural disasters like the fire that came close to his house recently, to financial strain possibly been brought about due to the pandemic. Perhaps you’re overworked and your personal relationships aren’t positive? How do you deal with that and change the outcome?

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’ve gone through several, if not many, failures of what to do when doom closes in. But it’s given me wisdom and experience that I can share.
- Humans tend to go inside when doom closes in, we close ourselves off to the world and we don’t want to interact with the external world because it’s a lot of pressure. We go back into our shell like a hermit crab and focus on the doom and ask why it’s come for us and imagine you deserve it. It’s not, it’s all about mindset.
- I went through some very rough times with business and personal bankruptcy, issues with relationships, negative thought patterns.
- Think: “OK, this is going to happen, it’s an inevitability, what is it that I want in the future for myself and my loved ones?” Sit down and write a one month plan, a three month plan, a six month plan and 12 month plan, a three year plan, a five year plan. Get focussed on the bigger picture.
BEST MOMENTS
‘I’m not saying I know all the answer, I can only talk from experience.’
‘There’s probably some people listening to this saying “Gavin’s bonkers”, and I probably would have agreed a couple of years ago.’
‘If you focus on the problem the problem gets larger.’
‘People only ever solve problems by taking action in creating a solution.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The irony of the moment when I collapsed was that I was wearing a suit – because that’s how I thought you had to dress to be successful – but I had to rip off my tie and open my shirt and jacket. I had to take off these things I thought made me successful to be able to breathe. That day everything changed.
- After the collapse I went back to Germany and moved in with my Dad and I returned to a childlike state where I started having panic attacks. My Father took me with him and his wife to a fasting retreat and took me with them because I couldn’t be left alone. I didn’t want to go, but after a few days I noticed everyone else there was having a great time, clearly they knew something about life that I didn’t and maybe a different approach to life wasn’t that bad. This was where began meditating and mindfulness.
- Some people need the breakdown, but you don’t have to have one. It’s the thing that woke me up. I wish I’d had someone giving me the right ideas like you do on this show. However, I’m glad it happened when I was 27, I was the youngest person in the burnout clinic and I realised I still have a lot more years to live better!
- The great thing about coaching is that the clients are there by choice, unlike therapy where they have to do a certain number of sessions because they have to. But some people prefer to go deeper into issues than others.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It was thinking either something’s fundamentally got to change or you’re going to die. And both options felt alright at that moment which surprised me.’
‘The connection to your body can tell you so much. Your heart gives you signs all the time, you just have to notice it.’
‘I’d never thought about thoughts before. The idea that some of our thoughts are not true is shocking to some people, but the greatest liberation from the ego.’
‘We create our reality. If you’re the problem, you’re the solution.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Jan Broders is an internationally sought-after coach and speaker with clients from LA to Hong Kong, from Dubai to Berlin.
After burning out at the age of only 27 (literally collapsing in the middle of the hotel lobby he was working at) Jan had to spend two months in a clinic to recover and get back on his feet. That day was the worst and best day of his life as it led him to turn around completely. Jan travelled the world for three years, became a dad, and started his own coaching practice. Today he lives in Mallorca, Spain with his wife and 2 kids.
Jan has run his exclusive coaching practice for seven years now, supporting high achievers and working with large corporations on implementing mindfulness, stress management, and resilience programs. He has coached supermodels, executives, members of parliament, doctors & psychologists.

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

In this episode of the podcast Gavin reads the inspirational poem ‘Don’t Quit’ by Edgar Albert Guest and discusses how it reflects life’s struggles and that no matter how dark life seems to get at time you should find people to support you and never give up.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The poem is four very succinct paragraphs, and it covers quite a lot of our life experiences in such a short space.
- Whatever it is you’re going through you can email or message me on any of the social media channels. Reach out. There’s a world of possibilities out there, we just need to open our minds.
- One night this week I turned all my gadgets off – phones, laptop, tablet – I drew with some soft music on in the background and I slept really well, which is something I rarely do. It’s one of the top five things to do in your life is improve your sleep.
- If we go through life living a riddle, we never solve that riddle which makes life quite confusing.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Don’t quit, no matter how hard the struggle or how difficult things are, ask for help, reach out and find support.’
‘What’s on the other side of that negative experience you’re going through?’
‘I believe in you.’
‘There is good, greatness and a hero in every single one of us.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by Perry Marshall to talk about his 80/20 theory, being an engineer that moved into sales and marketing and what he means by “racking the shotgun”.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Racking the shotgun is sending a signal out into the world and pay attention to who turned their head. Everything you do in marketing is racking the shotgun – sending an email, posting on Facebook, attending a webinar, listening to a podcast. There’s an 80/20 split: 80 don’t turn their head, 20 do. The 20% is where 80% of the value is. The more you rack the shotgun the more responsive, higher quality person you attract.
- The 80/20 mindset is understanding that the world is ridiculously unequal, and it runs on inequality. It’s baked in like a law of physics. It’s not a conspiracy and injustice that 20% of the people have 80% of the money and vice versa, it’s baked into the laws of the universe. Civilisation exists to mitigate 80/20, a disproportionate amount of money WANTS to flow to a small number of people, this is how the world works. Nobody’s gonna repeal the law of 80/20. I business you gotta figure out how to harness it.
- You’ll get nowhere if you spread yourself over and posting constantly on all the social media platforms. Everybody needs to get good at one form of getting traffic (human beings that are paying attention), be that in store, on Facebook, reading emails – and you need to find one way that you’re good at flipping people from casual interest to actually buying something. Google ads were how I got people through the door and emails was how I sold.
- Most people can only sell to people they’ve been and you’re only gonna sell to the top 20% of them and the top 20% of them will be paying your bills. So, there’s only a small amount of people you’ve got a fighting chance of getting a significant amount of money from. More than half of my company’s revenue comes from less than 30 people and I know all these people by name and what their businesses do.
BEST MOMENTS
‘You can explain 80/20 in a minute, but spend a lifetime learning and discovering the nuances of how to apply it.’
‘You can’t help the 80% of people who can’t sell, you have to look after the 20% who can, regardless of what a mess they are personally.’
‘I dare you to name any company in the world that’s good at selling through all the different types of media platforms – or that are even good at 10. The best companies in the world might be good at two or three.’
‘The vast majority of entrepreneurs sell through a very small number of people and will dial in very precisely to what those people want.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about how thinking, acting, eating and sleeping like an athlete helps you to become an athlete and likewise, if you can’t afford an athlete’s coach, to think, act, eat and sleep like a coach. It’s all about positive mindset to avoid feeling down about injury or personal loss.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- In the last few weeks Gavin has suffered a muscle contraction in his back which has stopped him training for his marathon swim across the Mediterranean and his bike was stolen. But he’s realised that perhaps he should have planned for setbacks so as not to suffer from injury depression.
- I believed the injury was the sole reason and cause that I would not be able to progress. That mindset has dragged me down. If you allow it to be your sole focus of your attention you will make your depression worse and your injury worse.
- I played a tennis tournament recently and I found a lot of imperfections. On the day at the time, my partner and I got beat by better competitors. I get super-competitive in tournaments because I can’t accept less than being the best I can be so I always have to give more. But there was no need for me to serve so hard… my body isn’t used to it.
- I distracted myself from my injury depression long enough to notice that if I did other things to keep my body improving in other places and still get fit, I wouldn’t have to succumb to injury depression.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Negative mind states cause chaos and havoc.’
‘We are gifted 50,000 new cells regenerating per second, I’ve started visualising this so I can get better and am able to continue.’
‘We can all be better, none of us are perfect.’
‘Don’t go full-throttle in the first 100 metres or you won’t make it the whole way.’

Gavin is back with the second part of this two-part episode with Scott Roberts, a gym instructor and personal trainer who specialises in fat loss. In this episode they talk about emotional eating, how drinking alcohol can seriously affect your diet and reversing learned habits either around eating, exercise or bad advice they’ve read about certain foods.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- People don’t set their goals correctly because they don’t know how they’ll look or feel after losing the random number of pounds they’ve plucked out of the air to lose. Set goals that actually mean something to you; a dress size, running a marathon and think about what change that will have on your life and how you feel about yourself, and how will that trickle down to the rest of your life; relationships, confidence at work? These will keep you disciplined, accountable and motivated.
- Sit with your emotions and think about what it means, how you feel, how you want to react to it, because we’re always looking for distractions, especially stuff that brings us down and stuff that doesn’t make us feel good about ourselves. You need to find a distraction – not social media or food. Create new habits and take yourself away from the situation.
- The more time you give yourself to lose weight, the more flexibility you can have in your diet. You also panic less about your weight and how you look at any other time of the year because you’ve created your eating and exercise habits.
- The goal for everyone should be to eat at the time of day the suits them, eating the types of food they enjoy within a certain structure and pattern. Build up an idea of your calorie intake and how certain foods can change that, which will highlight what to cut out and what to prioritise. Once all that is in place, the changes you need to make to get back to where you want to be are minimal.
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you have a clear idea of your goal, you’ll have a better chance of going for it.’
‘Replace that glass/bottle of wine at the end of the work day (as a coping mechanism) with taking a walk.’
‘If you’re avoiding a pint by drinking spirits and diet mixers, you may still be taking in the same number of calories.’
‘Do the work early – if you’re planning to lose weight for a holiday, start building habits months in advance.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Scott Roberts is an online gym instructor and personal trainer who specialises in fat loss who tries to give people their lives back through their eating habits and food relationships. He tries to remove the stress and confusion out of dieting, giving people a more individualised way to diet and pointing out that dieting doesn’t always have to be the miserable lifestyle choice they expect, that there are much easier, more flexible ways to diet.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about not listening to the voices that want to hold you back, such as those that came to him when confronted with a mid-day sea mist recently and the fact that negatives can be changed into positives by changing questions to statements.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- A sea mist came to test me from getting back in the water after an injury. Every statement I wanted to make became a question: Are these conditions good enough for you to swim? Will I be able to see the shore? Is it safe? Should I not train today? Am I putting myself at risk?
- The water was calm and there would be no one in the sea to interrupt me, there was no sun and UV would be at a lower level than normal, so my neck won’t get burned and the mist will make me focus on everything else.
- The mist of uncertainty that came for me yesterday was a real gift, because it tested me not to panic, it made me really think about my technique, how could I maximise each element of my stroke, so I get the best stroke possible, and I breathe better.
- If this mist were to come to you in your every day life, if whatever setting you find yourself in, it suggests questions to as yourself. If we make empowering statements we will be in a positive state.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Although this wasn’t perfect, it was completely perfect.’
‘What’s in the water right now in proximity to me?’
‘I knew I wasn’t going to be terribly far out.’
‘Today is a great day.’

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to The Ocean Cleanup, so it's the most efficient way to give - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Your starting calories are set b your original weight, fat and muscle are metabolic and use energy. When you lose that body fat you’ll potentially lose muscle as well and your energy demands come down and you’ll need to cut your calorie intake as well, or move around more.
- A lot of supplements are an expensive caffeine supplement, the additional ingredients in them – especially in the amounts added – don’t offer any beneficial fat loss help.
- Any exercise will help because it’s burning calories, but you need to find something you enjoy doing and is sustainable rather than doing what you feel you need to. A mixture of strength training and cardio is ideal.
- People are scared of eating a particular food or group of foods, not just takeaways and junk food but fruits and vegetables because they’ve been told they contain sugars. It’s my job to reverse that way of thinking.
- The 80/20 rule: 80% of your overall diet should come from whole foods – things that have grown in the ground or were walking around, animal proteins, fruit and veg. The other 20% can be whatever you want. If your calorie amounts are correct you’ll get the fat loo ss results you’re looking for, you’ll maintain a healthy lifestyle and weight range for your height and you can have some flexibility on your diet as well.
- There will be times where work or family takes over, or you completely mess up. It’s all part of the learning process, as long as you learn there are no mistakes and it will help you with consistency.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Your body isn’t working against you, it’s natural adaptations to do with the process.’
‘There are quick fixes if it’s the right thing to do. It’s unlikely to work long term though.’
‘I rarely see anyone out-train a bad diet.’
‘Fad diets will work if stuck to for a few weeks, but you’re not solving the problems that are causing you to be overweight.’
‘Everything in moderation.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about the idea of creating or perfecting your craft. For example, with this podcast, he’s not the most technically competent person. He was obsessing over backdrops and logos. But all he really needed to do was to start and the answers would present themselves.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- As an entrepreneur you set up businesses and they snowball. If you try to get everything perfect from the start, you’ll never start. Just get on and do it. Through the test of time I’ll get perfect.
- I’m really grateful to everyone who’s reached out on social media because they’re interesting in what I do or wants to collaborate. In turn it helps me grow and get better at what I’m doing and that allows me to give you more value. The more value I give you, hopefully, the more impact it has in your lives and the more impact is has the more you will take it to heart and to influence and inspire you to become better in all aspect of your lives.
- It took me a long time to make the cut from real estate and jump into the podcasting world. It’s hard for people to change and pivot, especially as you get into your 30s and 40s where you might have more responsibilities than in your teens or 20s.
- Because I was one foot in real estate and one foot in podcasting, as much as I tried to formulate clarity it was still jumbled. I’m beginning to see more clearly day by day how I can perfect my craft. I hope that sharing the experience of my journey with you from one career path to another that things don’t need to be perfect or have every single brick of the path laid out in front of you, you just need to have the will to see it through and passion.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Start now, get perfect later’
‘If I wasn’t passionate about my journey, I wouldn’t continue.’
‘Clarity is power.’
‘If you’re stuck in a job you don’t like, commit to leaving it within 6 months. Start saving now and look at what you want to do next.’

In this episode of the podcast Gavin is joined by stem cell researcher, Sandhya Sriram, who is Group CEO and Co-founder of Shiok Meats, the first cell-based seafood & meat company in Southeast Asia and the first cell-based Crustacean company globally. Shiok Meats also owns SEA’s first cell-based red meat company, Gaia Foods.
Sandhya talks through everything from setting up start ups, failing – but learning from it – and everything that comes with being an entrepreneur and business owner.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Stem cell can be grown outside the animal’s body and can be used to grown all sorts of cells like meat and fat to grow food for human consumption that requires no animal cruelty, slaughter or large-scale agricultural land, it can be done in a factory and takes 4-6 weeks, rather than growing and feeding an animal for years. We create lobster and shrimp as well as red meat products.
- Cellular agriculture technology for animal cells has been done in the medical field for years to create donor organs etc. It’s an extremely expensive technology, but we have made it cheaper by taking it down the mass-production route, which will eventually end up costing the same as similar mass-production technology.
- I always knew I was an innovator, but not an entrepreneur. Taking that step into business was a hard step for me. My first company was a miserable failure, but I knew what not to do for the next one. Some of the investors that I made through that first start up invested very early in Shiok. I can’t wait to wake up every day to get back to work now.
- Don’t try to achieve a 50/50 balance between life and work, it’s impossible for entrepreneurs. Set out your priority. If family is your priority find a partner who will be able to put more into the business. If your priority is the business make sure your family knows you won’t be there for them all the time. It’s an unfair world, and it’s changing for the better, but women will have to work 3 times harder to get to the same level as a male.
- Two things that I’ve had to do is to let go and not expect the same level of perfection from others as I have for myself. I’m not there yet fully, but I’m still learning and will get there.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Our products have been tasted by chefs, food critics, all sorts of people and they say it tastes the same, though it doesn’t look the same yet.’
‘I want everyone in the world to eat sustainably.’
‘Don’t start a company with a friend or someone you’re very close to!’
‘Take everything in your stride and handle challenges with positivity.’
‘Be inspirational to your family in everything from the way you speak to the way your hold yourself.’

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about expanding his resistance zone of swimming to over 6km by using the power of singularity and positivity in his mindset and deciding to push through the wall.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I’m training for a 16km swim and there’s a stage called ‘hitting the wall’ that my body wouldn’t allow me to pass despite various types of preparation. I picked a spot to swim to and back that would break that resistance, the currents pushed and rolled me. It wasn’t the water for using the best technique for endurance swimming and conserving energy.
- I was there, present in that moment, and today I broke 6.95km. That singularity aids in determination, motivation, it assists the cognitive process because there aren’t multiple subjects or elements that need to be fulfilled, there’s just one aim, one objective.
- As humans, we naturally over complicate where we are and where we want to be. There are so many factors involved in whatever part of life in which we’re looking to improve. We cease to see in the singular, when it comes to mindset singularity is a determining factor in achieving one’s goals.
- The four-minute mile wasn’t broken until Roger Bannister did it. After that people thought it was achievable and they began to run four-minute miles. Something changed in their mindsets, it was a transition from the mindset into a singularity of objective: “I am going to break the four-minute mile” – it doesn’t matter how and by how much, just that I will.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Is today the right day? Should I wait for a better day? Today was going to be the day no matter what.’
‘Singularity is so important in mindset’
‘Break down your goals to achieve that singularity and you will, without question, achieve that goal.’
‘The stronger the foundation the stronger the structure, the less likely the structure is to break.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The oxygen candle is being burned at both ends and it’s just a matter of time until it’s too late to even reverse it unless we do something. To slow it down we need education.
- It’s mind blowing to me that multi-billionaires aren’t coming together to do something about it now. Bill Gates could probably save the situation on his own!
- My parents raised seven boys and I saw the amount of time my father worked and knew our time together, when we had it, was precious. Seeing his work ethic and him working his ass off was an inspiration to me to keep going.
- What drives me now is seeing people’s eye light up when I take them to places they can surf waves they can’t reach unless they go by boat, or even take them down to Baja, Mexico to experience the sight, sounds, food, and even smells of a new place as well as the surf down there.
BEST MOMENTS
‘Nobody knows about the dredging of the ocean floor.’
‘Never give up but know that it’s not going to last forever so take full advantage and don’t take things for granted.’
‘Health is the big driver for me now. Treat your body as a temple. Anyone can do it, it’s all about motivation.’
‘Do epic shit.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
Manny Vargas is a professional bodyboarder and ex-lifeguard from San Diego with four decades of surf experience and is also a surf tour guide and photographer for Epic Surf Tours showing fellow ocean and water lovers all the amazing things that mother nature has to offer.

- Merchant Mariner Credential through the U.S. Coast Guard
- CPR Certified
- First Aid Certified
- Former California State Lifeguard
- FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certified (Drone)
Manny loves to travel and see the beauty of the world's amazing surf destinations. He says: “Riding waves, taking photos, and showing people a great time is what I love to do. When I see the stoke on people's faces when they watch their videos and photos at the end of the trip, I realize this is exactly what I was meant to do... SHARE THE STOKE and #DoEpicShit.”

In this episode of the podcast Gavin talks about judgement and especially how those being judged could respond to being judged and how you choose to judge someone reflects on your inner workings and reveals more about yourself than the person you’re judging.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- There are two types of people in this world: emotional eaters and non-emotional eaters. I am striving to be a better person every day, which means making better food choices and recognising when my body is tricking me.
- You might think I can’t make it, but I can and I will. This body has carried me to achieve my goals and ambitions. My shape doesn’t mean I’m unfit. I played 2 and a half hours of competitive tennis last week. Maybe that’s not such a big thing, but not only did I do that, I did 40 minutes of walking to get there and then jogged back uphill and the whole 10k home. I’m not training to run or play tennis
- I know who I am and I know what I’m capable of, I’ve met my demons and I am fit. You can judge me with whatever your eyes are showing you, reflecting you from within your own self. I am living in my own greatness and I will not be suffocated.
- You don’t need to be in that lower vibration, you don’t need to be anything but your authentic self. If you choose to be your authentic self you will be outstanding. Don’t live in judgement of others and always know what’s behind the cover of your own book.
BEST MOMENTS
‘There is no mastery without consistency.’
‘Your demons will tell you not to do the challenging thing you’ve chosen to do. They’re lying to you.’
‘I am enough. I welcome fear. I welcome doubt. I’m going to win all day long.’
‘Stay outstanding’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I had a full on breakdown at mile 44 of a 100 mile ultra-marathon I was running, I was in the middle of a canyon with no one else around and I lost it, I started crying because I’d lost my wife of 10 years, my dad had just passed away and here I was torturing my body. At that point I realised that we’re all only here for one shot at life and do I really want to be doing this? It was my escape from everything happening in my life. Right there I decided I didn’t need to do ultra-marthons and when I became a legit tour operator.
- We’re both fortunate to swim, trail run, surf or mountain bike and it’s unfortunate that others reach for the bottle or the crack-pipe. I like to say, there’s always someone in the world that’s having a worse day than you. Don’t take for granted how fortunate we are.
- The Tijuana River runs in and out of the US and Mexico and into the sea and it’s very polluted, especially when there have been heavy rains. The plastic situation that’s so well documented now was going on all the way back in the 1980s and 90s. Luckily the US government is pouring money into trying to fix the situation along the coastline.
- I work with Feeding San Diego as I remember queueing in the foodline with my mum to pick up whatever food we needed and they were giving away. I’d love to get to a point where I can also donate to groups to do with cleaning up the ocean, especially as the ocean gave me my life.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s all mindset. You tell your body that you can do it and you’re gonna do it.’
‘Some of us have to fail to realise what we want to do. Don’t be afraid to fail.’
‘We’re suffocating ourselves [dumping plastic in the sea] and we’re going to kill ourselves.’
‘China produces a million plastic bottles per minute!’

KEY TAKEAWAYS
- I have a dream that one day, Mother Earth, our dearest planet, sweltering in the foul abuse of man and the oppression of man’s selfishness, will be transformed into an oasis of natural environment as it was when man first inhabited it.
- We’ve come to this hallowed moment in time to remind all of Mother Earth’s children of the fierce urgency of now.
- All brothers and sisters must come together to support our survival, to support our survival, to preserve our existence, to thrive in a time when we are challenged, to create and not consume.
- Rarely are we invited to impact so greatly, on a scale of such magnitude with just a small kind action of love today.
BEST MOMENTS
‘They said my dream was too big, they said my dream would never be realised.’
‘One day all children will live on a planet without ignorance, suffering or plight of it’s natural environment.’
‘Now is time to make real the promise of caring for our planetary home.’
‘Would you let another stop your dream from coming true?’

In this first episode of the Stay Outstanding podcast, your host Gavin Scott reveals the secret origin of the podcast. From seeing mysterious lights on Gibraltar to swimming from Spain to Morocco and helping clean the oceans, this is Gavin’s platform to get his voice heard and share his story to hopefully make the world a better place not just for those that are here today, but those who will be here tomorrow.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- For many years I’ve been trying to change my own plastic habits, so I decided to help clean up the ocean in whatever way possible, whether that’s raising financial support to donate or however else I could help.
- I’ve gone through my own challenges in life and I thought that there must be a way to share my challenges and how I’ve dealt with them to help others going through the same challenges.
- I believe in human potential. The only limits are the ones we place on ourselves. So, without thinking too much more about it I set up the Stay Outstanding podcast.
- Being better suggests there’s a temporary sense of being better, one where you don’t have to consciously acknowledge every single day that we could be better, that we could just be better consistently. Where you could be in a state of bliss every single day without having to work to be there. What are you willing to do to experience that and live that life?
BEST MOMENTS
‘If you don’t know what your ‘why’ is in front of a challenge, you’ll never break through.’
‘We consume so much plastic every day, but we can always see it. The out-of-sight-out-of-mind principle.’
‘When you speak to people you connect with people, when you connect with people you give the opportunity to inspire.’
‘Fight for a better tomorrow.’
