Get ready for a treat as we shine the Reccobiz member spotlight on the one and only Paul Drake, founder of Whitestar!

Paul's philosophy is simple yet brilliant: life's too short for bad websites, service, coffee, or wine.

Since 2012, Paul has been on a mission to make the internet a more beautiful and effective place, one stunning website at a time. In this fun and engaging interview, we dive into his entrepreneurial journey, his passion for crafting web sites, and his secret life outside the world of pixels and code.

I thoroughly enjoyed interviewing Paul, and I am sure you will enjoy watching or listening too.

Rob helps professional females/males who on the outside appear to have everything in their lives, but inside them something is causing them pain. That pain could be anxiety, addiction, fear, or maybe a limiting belief.

Working together he helps them get control of the anxiety, deal with the addiction, face the fear and go on to live happier, more fulfilled lives.

Rob is a professional therapist and use many therapeutic techniques including hypnotherapy to help you get the solution you desire. He trained as a cognitive hypnotherapist and trained with the much-acclaimed Quest Institute in London. He is a certified Master Practitioner and have successfully worked as a cognitive hypnotherapist and coach in excess of 13 years. He has experienced many clients who have issues with stress, anxiety, weight loss, addiction and many other problems.

Rob has recently created a group called Retirement Rebels which provides connection for like-minded people. Why? Because humans need connection, and one of the best ways to learn is from someone who has ‘walked the walk’.

Retirement Rebels a place where you can rewire your retirement, connect with others and have fun.

If you are curious about how you can make retirement more fun, more interesting, and more exiting then get in touch with Rob.

Do you consider what’s in the products you use on our face and body?

Surprisingly, lots of products we are led to believe are good for our skin are full of harmful toxins, take a look at the list of ingredients.

In this interview we speak to Claire Dale of Tropic skincare and find out why she chose to become an ambassador and help people make healthier choices about their skincare and makeup.

Tropic skincare and make up is vegan, cruelty free, has no nasty toxic chemicals, works with wonderful charities, is carbon neutral, cares about our planet and it is a British company to boot. Not only that, but our products also really do work and we have now won over 250 industry awards.

Claire is passionate about helping others grow their own businesses and helping to build confidence in others whether that be a customer, friend, or team member.

I would highly recommend listening to this, it’s very interesting.

Do you ever ask yourself is there more to life than this?

Have you ever had those moments in life when you just know, usually instinctively, that perhaps there's something more to life than what's in front of you right now?

Life is a continuous journey with many paths to choose. Just as you would plan any trip, it includes a starting point, and more importantly a destination.

In this interview I speak with Anne Reece of Mindflow Transformational Coaching, we learn about Anne’s journey that has bought her to start her coaching business and her unique approach in supporting her clients.

Anne is truly passionate about helping people discover and create a life they, and this really shines through here.

Would you like to be fitter and healthier?

It takes hard work and discipline to get and stay fit and healthy, it is also much more than just exercise or a healthy diet.

It is a fine balance of both and as we get older, we also need to consider whether we need supplements to replace what our bodies stops producing.

In this podcast I speak with Allison Reeves Slaughter of Fit and Fabulous, she has been helping people get and stay fit and healthy for over 20 years.

Allison’s passion for fitness started when she was 13, she was a competitive swimmer and started to help the younger children after her lessons.

She then discovered the magic of land training, the massive benefits she could gain by using weights and doing cardiovascular and flexibility training. She also found that her swimming was much improved, but more than that she loved the land training.

Without knowing it this is when Fit and Fabulous was started, Allison is passionate about helping people achieve their fitness goals and enjoy a healthier happier life.

What would happen to your business if you were struck down with ill health or injury?

When we’re young, fit, and healthy it’s easy to take our health for granted but things can change in a split second and sometimes have life changing repercussions.

Add into that scenario that you are your business with no guaranteed salary each month and it’s not difficult to see the additional stress and difficulty this could add to an already stressful and difficult situation.

This is where David Rollock and WPA Healthcare comes in!

Choosing the right healthcare cover for you, your family and your employees can be a challenge. David makes this simple, giving his clients great value cover, now and into the future, they can trust, rely on and most importantly, use.

Not your average health insurance company.

WPA puts people first. It was the first of its kind to fund cancer drugs not readily available on the NHS, being recognised by the World Health Organisation for leading the development of new policies that reduce costs for clients.

In this interview we find out about why David left his good secure career to work with WPA and help people get the right health care for themselves and their families.

We also learn about the man behind the business, he has wonderful family values and enjoys the simple things in life.

Are you using video to promote your business?

There is no doubt, video is now the best way to promote our businesses but producing good video is another story!

 There are lots of tools available but a lot of them are difficult to navigate and very time consuming for us novices.

On the other hand, you can pay someone, which for a small business isn’t feasible due to the cost involved.

This is where Clockwork Eye comes in, they not only do video production they also help small business owners create their own videos in a very cost effective way through their video creators club.

In this interview I speak with Gareth James about his passion for video and for supporting other small business owners navigate the world of video themselves.

This is well worth watching, Gareth is extremely knowledgeable with a very interesting background.

Contrary to popular belief financial and wealth planning isn’t for the rich, in fact the less money you have the greater the reason to do it.

A financial advisor will talk to you about your financial goals, buying a house, going on the trip of a lifetime, retirement etc and help you work towards them in the easiest, most tax efficient and quickest way.

Financial advisors are armed with the skills and knowledge we don’t have, and it costs nothing to talk to one.

In this podcast we hear how Andy Degiorgio helps his clients achieve their financial goals and protect themselves and their families from the unforeseen challenges life throws at them.

He specialises in advising professionals, businesses, and business owners,

If you are wondering or worrying about any element of your finances, I would recommend speaking to a financial advisor like Andy.
