I sit down with Eric Mitchell for a candid conversation about physical and mindset coaching. He's worked with athletes and knows just how much the mind matters if you want to create a change in your life.

This goes deeper than motivation, it's about unravelling the reasons for our feelings and how to control them for success.

He's now releasing his latest form of coaching - it's called The Tsunami Effect (listen in to find out why).

In today's episode, I explore why overanalysing thoughts can do more harm than good — and what a clearer, simpler model of the mind might look like.

This episode dives into how clarity, not strategy, drives leadership, resilience, and creativity — especially for entrepreneurs.

Featuring psychologist Craig Polsfuss, who shares the insights that reshaped his career — and why most coaching ignores the brain’s actual role in change.

A powerful rethink of how we grow, lead, and make decisions — from the inside out.

Brooke Roberston had every reason to give up, helping someone build a company worth $33 Million, but then getting nothing when it sells.

But she picked herself up and continued building businesses, currently focussing on her interior design venture (the pictures are stunning may I say!), which she has exciting ideas for - ones that I've never heard of before.

This episode is a showing of how to bounceback from failure, and use it to fuel you further. I urge you to listen to her story!

Today I speak with Crystal Jordan, an autism advocate - who didn't even believe she was an advocate until others told her!

She has built a brand based on the underrepresentation of black children in autism, after having a child born with autism.

She has truly rocked the stage with this idea, and has created books, toys, videos, journals and so much more.

This is a great episode for delving into personal passion projects and building an e-commerce business. Give it a listen!
