Business With Purpose (David Roberts)

In this episode, David opens our eyes to the crazy impact the way we heat and cool our homes is having on the environment. He shares the details of the Maintain, Insulate, Replace, and Electricity (MIRE) approach that enables you to save money while helping the planet and setting your home up to be ready for the future. David also talks through the pros and cons of heat pumps including how to work out if installing one is the right option for your home.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Homes create between 20 and 40% of all carbon emissions.
• Investing £75 in an EPC Survey enables you to understand what your energy-saving options are. Armed with that information, you can ensure that the insulation and heating systems you choose actually are environmentally friendly and will save you money.
• At some point soon, improving home energy efficiency will become mandatory.
• Every degree you turn your thermostat down will save you up to £150, per year.
• If you opt for cavity wall insulation, check the company is signed up with CIGA.
• Consider insulating under your floors too.
• A heat pump is a bit like a fridge in reverse, extracting heat from the air.
• If you want to use a heat pump you’ve got to insulate your home.
• For every unit of energy, you put into a heat pump you get 2.5 to 5 units of heat out. A gas boiler would only generate less than one unit of heat.

BEST MOMENTS

‘In the UK, homes generate more carbon emissions than cars,’

‘If it's not a well-insulated roof, literally, energy is going through the roof. This is wasted money.’

‘Cavity wall insulation has a 1 to 3 year payback.’

In this episode, David speaks to Michelle Walker-Smith of Aqua Lettings. Michelle is a property investor and landlord who has a reputation for going the extra mile for her tenants. Michelle works hard to settle them into properties that work for them and often provides practical assistance to help them to get their lives on track. This approach results in settled tenants who enjoy a decent quality of life.

Michelle shares details of her journey. Including how she had gone from being a highly risk-averse person to being able to seize every opportunity. An approach that has led to her managing a large property portfolio, while running her own letting agency and a successful mentoring business. She explains why she is not scared to give the right people a chance and rent to tenants others might say no to.

• Looking after your tenants properly benefits both parties.
• With good communication, most issues can be anticipated and solved amicably.
• To grow, you need to force yourself out of your comfort zone.
• Don’t rent out a property that you would not be happy to live in yourself.
• All of us can easily become homeless.

• If you want to do something, you will make time. Structuring your day properly is essential.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We don't use To Let boards; it is all done by word of mouth.’

‘If you’ve got a colorful history, tell people about it and share your experience.

‘Go with your gut feeling. If you´ve got an idea and you believe in it enough, you will make it happen.’

‘Sometimes people will give you negative feedback if they have had a bad day themselves.’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We all suffer from days where we feel conflicted. As adults, we are constantly working to conform. Sometimes in ways that do not reflect who we are and are not good for us.
• Societal norms push us to abandon some childlike qualities that can actually serve us and others well.
• There is a time and a place for behaving in certain ways.
• As adults we are taught to replace curiosity with judgement.
• Children are more open-minded about people and more tolerant.
• As adults, we need to learn to fear less. We let fear lock us into following restricted paths.
• Be more observant, notice the little things and give yourself time to reflect.
• Every day, ask yourself – “How can I be more childlike in a way that serves me?”

BEST MOMENTS

‘Those on the fringes potentially begin to feel like they don’t have a place in that mechanised or standardised environment,’

‘A lot of fear comes from experiences as a child where we speak up in childlike innocence and we get cut down.’

‘A child will focus on that thing that's there.’

‘They grow just a little bit every day, they learn something new.’

For this episode, David is joined by Dr. Rosina Racioppi, who is the president and CEO of Women Unlimited. Rosina is on a mission to help organizations develop a culture where women have the same opportunity as men to fully realize their potential. Women Unlimited runs courses and uses mentors to help women and the organisations they work for to achieve true workplace parity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In a tight labour market, not developing women costs organisations heavily.
• To achieve true gender parity, everyone in the organization must work towards that goal and do so every day.
• To advance their careers women need to be more intentional about how they show up and what they do.
• Focus on sharing how what you are doing helps the organisation.
• Don´t be shy, advocate for yourself.
• Learn to speak with more confidence and make better connections with others.
• Ask for feedback.
• Recruiters need to be aware of their own bias and be open to interviewing a few people who do not 100% fit their vision of their ideal candidate.
• Diversity goes far deeper than building teams based on gender or skin colour. The strongest teams include people from a range of backgrounds, educational experiences, and upbringings.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Growth and comfort don´t live in the same space… if you want to advance, you’re going to feel a little uncomfortable for a while,’

‘Adopting the curious mindset is the critical part.’

‘When you hold people accountable, things happen.’

‘Make sure that you're not just replicating the same person in a different skin.’

For this episode, David is joined by Anu Rathninde, who is the president of a multibillion-dollar tech company. He leads a team of over 30,000 people, so naturally, Anu has learned what it takes to be a great leader. His leadership style drives meaningful change and purposeful progress; despite all of the uncertainties we're currently facing in the world.

Anu has written a book called Tackling Complexity which is designed to help other leaders to do the same. He and David discuss this and some of the strategies Anu is currently using to navigate the increasingly complex business environment we are all working in. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• True leaders work to make the people around them better. Acting as an enabler to ensure that they achieve their full potential.
• Making people better usually involves some tough love.
• Your frontline workers are the ones with the true power – work to empower them.
• You cannot manage others until you have learned to manage and take care of yourself.
• As a leader, you need to be accountable for your actions, know yourself and your purpose.
• It's A leader's job to create the right mindset in your people. Don´t get too involved in the details. For example, process mapping is not your job.
• Millennials are a smart workforce; they are actually challenging us to be better.
• If you do bad things, you will get bad results. A good leader is always striving to do things the right way.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It is absolutely crucial that we have this honest dialogue.’

‘Anytime something goes wrong, I go in front of the mirror, and I ask – How did that happen, what did I do wrong?’

‘My job (as a leader) is to show what good looks like.’

‘I’m learning a lot from this next generation….it’s amazing to see the passion in this young generation.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen.

But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far, we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For virtually every business problem there is a tech solution that can solve it or make things a lot easier.

• AI has the power to solve multiple problems.

• The fact that systems can be hard to integrate e.g. the most popular ERPs do not talk with the most popular CRMs can be overcome.

• You need to nail your processes before you can introduce the right tech.

• Use AI to help you record your current processes and create flow charts, Michael tells you how.

• Not everything can be automated. Train your AI to immediately route these things to a human.

• Human solution providers should be using tech tools to solve problems faster.

• Your AI chatbot must be backed up 24/7 by humans your customers can easily reach.

• If a customer is talking to AI, tell them. If you don´t, they will never trust you again.

• Much of the most important knowledge resides in the heads of employees. Use technology to capture that knowledge and make it more widely available.

• Companies that prioritise digital operations end up with technologies that work smoothly together.

• The ROI on digital automation is very fast, less than a year and is usually between 75% and 150% initially and up to around 300% a few years later.

• Technology frees people up to do other more important tasks e.g. develop new products. It does not have to result in job losses.

BEST MOMENTS

“Too many tech guys try to jam in a solution that does not quite fit.”

“Make sure people are aware they are speaking with an AI .”

“The outcome is consistency, clarity, capacity, confidence, and, ultimately, cash flow.”

Today, David talks about collaborating with your competition to win. Looking for win-wins that serve customers better and take both businesses to the next level.

David provides you with a six-step checklist you can use to work out which of your competitors it is a good idea to collaborate with. He also covers identifying opportunities and how to set up joint ventures.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Collaborating with your competitors is a good way to increase your reach and impact. It enables you to fill the gaps and do things for your customers you cannot do alone.
• Trying to pound your competitors into dust takes a lot of time, resources, and energy. Switching all of that to collaboration has a hugely positive impact.
• You need to do your due diligence and monitor the situation when collaborating.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Collaborating with your competitors … can actually help you both out.’

‘Work together to identify the solution that actually gets the customer what they want, rather than half the solution.’

In this episode, David shares six simple things you can do to get into the right mindset when it comes to dealing with competition successfully. Strategies and techniques anyone can use to continually improve what they have to offer and beat the competition by doing so.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Don't be scared of competition, it confirms that there is plenty of demand for the products or services you sell. 
• Know your customers. Asking them questions helps you to build relationships and show them that they are valuable to you while teaching you more about them. The personal touch is crucial.
• Use your differences to help you to stand out.
• Clearly explain what you will do for your customers, and what the result will be from working with or buying from you.
• Constantly innovate and improve your processes.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Competition is great.’

‘Know yourself as a business, who are you, what do you stand for, and what is your brand all about?’

‘Identify 3 key things that set you apart.’

‘Avoid unnecessary comparisons and validate yourself constantly against other people.’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan, and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.

In this episode, David is joined by Yvette Wearne, a life coach, who is all about mind power. She helps people to pull the power of the mind out, put it into their hearts, and push themselves to act and achieve what they want.
The brain is like a muscle so you can train it and do so starting with just 30 minutes a day. She explains how to go beyond knowing what you don’t want to understanding what it is that you want and getting it. The advice contained in this episode will improve your business and work as well as your personal life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• If you do not control your mind and thoughts, they will control you.
• Knowledge is not power; it is applied knowledge that is powerful. Nothing changes unless you use what you learn.
• Ask yourself what it is that you want when you are not being a mother, son, or worker.
• Stillness and gratitude are important.
• When you are in a space of gratitude, you observe differently.
• Our subconscious minds do not know the difference between something we imagine and reality. So, when we visualise, we operate on a different frequency and attract what we want.
• Bad things will still happen, but you will deal with them differently and keep moving forwards.
• Be yourself.
• You don't need to be Mother Theresa or Nelson Mandela to make a difference.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Take control of the thoughts that you are thinking to create the life that you want.’
‘When you give a reason for something you really start feeling it.’
‘Observation and awareness are key.’

In this episode, which is part 13 of David´s CALM leadership series, he looks at commitment culture and how it relates to accountability. David explains what it is, why it is so important and how you can create and nurture this type of working environment within your own organization or company.

He goes through five different work/team culture approaches, considering the pros and cons of each one. Next week, David will dive a little deeper into the subject and provide more tips and some real-life examples.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Research proves that commitment culture is a great way to make your business and team more successful. 
• Winning sports teams focus on culture.
• If your team does not have a framework each individual will act in the way that benefits them most. It is human nature.
• A commitment culture encourages people to express themselves. To take on tasks and projects without prompting.
• If you have an autocratic culture, because your business cannot run without you, it will be difficult to sell.
• When people believe in what the company is trying to achieve, they are committed and therefore naturally motivated to succeed.

BEST MOMENTS
‘It (commitment culture) increases your probability of success by more than 20%,’

‘Culture can create winning teams.’

‘The engineering model - this is Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.’

‘Change starts with you.’

In this episode, David is joined by Simon Cooper who is a qualified damp and structural waterproofing surveyor. He is also a time-served plasterer, who owns 3 businesses and multiple properties which he has developed. As well as being the host of The Damp Show podcast.
Simon explains how the course he has developed is helping to address the shortage of surveyors. He also shares details of what property owners and developers can do to spot problems early and how to address common damp and decay issues. David and Simon also discuss the challenge that new EPC regulations are going to throw up.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In business, you need to care, to want to get the job right and if you fail identify why so you can stop it from happening again.
• It is not always the best products and services people remember. Often, it is the firm with the memorable name they first think of.
• It is important to develop multiple streams of revenue.
• Banks are much more cautious about lending, so they expect a damp survey to be done.
• There are not enough damp surveyors in the UK to make all of the necessary inspections.
• It is important to insulate a building, but you must be careful not to seal it completely.
• Banks are already not mortgaging properties if the EPC is below a D.
• Holistic solutions are needed to successfully meet the new EPC standards. People across several industries need to work together to find practical ways to meet them.
• Be vigilant and look out for decay, algae, dampness, and leaks. 
• Check what happens to the water when it rains and periodically checks there are no leaks in your wastewater system.

BEST MOMENTS
‘In my business life, I´ve always cared about making sure that the job that I do is right,’
‘Be aware of the implications of insulating. You are effectively sealing that property up; you’ve got to get the balance right.’
‘We can insulate a building on the inside or the outside and can ventilate them as well.’
‘Industry and commerce need to find the right solutions to make the regulations work’

In this episode, David talks about how living a succession of perfect days builds into your living the perfect life. He shares a deceptively simple, yet effective, way to identify what a great day would look like for you and explains how to make it a reality.

• Living a succession of perfect days adds up to being a perfect life.
• Very few people have any idea of what a perfect day looks like for them. 
• If you can't identify it, you can't work to make it happen.
• Think about your perfect day in detail. Including simple things like what you would eat, when and who with. 
• Creating perfect days happens over time.
• You need to live with intention, which means knowing what you want to achieve.
• Working towards your goals every day translates into a fulfilled life.

BEST MOMENTS

‘People with purpose make a difference because they know where they are going and the direction of their lives,’

‘The perfect life is made up of a succession of perfect days?.’

‘Sometimes the perfect day catches you by surprise.’

‘Enjoy the little things in life, because one day you will look back and realize they were the big things.’

In the first People With Purpose interview episode, Cathy Bennett, the award winning business turnaround coach and founder of Vertical, joins David about her life purpose and career along with the subjects of drive, curiosity and gender.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Ask a question because you’re interested and curious and not just because you want an answer that’s going to help you sell something
• What’s best is individual to that person
• Trust your intuition, that’s not just a gut feel, it’s deeper than gut feel. Listen to what your mind is telling you in your quiet moments and it’s all about dealing with what’s in your mind. What you think, how you react to things. That is the key.
• Cathy is inspired by her children, Simon Sinek and loves Pink Floyd!

BEST MOMENTS

‘Being caring and being curious, they kind of come almost like a left hand and right hand.’

'I got to the stage where I kind of realised I was surrounded by a little bit of mediocrity.’ 

‘I don’t want to be a millionaire; I don't need to be a millionaire. I don’t need all that money.’

‘ When someone tells you your purpose is something and it doesn’t resonate, it doesn’t feel right, trust your intuition.’

For this episode, David is joined by Jules Turner, a coach who helps people, in particular senior managers, to turn redundancy into their greatest opportunity by landing their perfect next role.

They discuss how to be ready for redundancy, which happens to most people at some stage so that they are prepared for that situation. Being familiar with how the redundancy process works and having a plan in place is the best way to turn being made redundant into a massive opportunity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Redundancy can happen to all of us at any stage of life, so it is wise to have a plan in place for that eventuality.
• Manage your emotional state when you are made redundant. Taking practical action early will help you with this.
• Don´t spend money frivolously.
• Familiarize yourself with how redundancy works in advance. In particular, the legal ins and outs of that situation.
• Being made redundant can trigger your purpose and enable you to start doing the thing you really love.
• Volunteering in an area you are enthusiastic about is a good way to build skills and ignite that fire in you.
• Don´t panic, and just take any job. Savings will help with this.
• While in your current job, take steps to learn the skills you need to do something you feel more passionate about.
• Build a strong network that you can use if you are made redundant.
• Take practical steps to get past your feelings of anger, pity, and loss, which is part of the grieving process.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Don´t get ready, be ready.’

‘It´s using the fire in your belly to help move you forward.’

‘Don´t panic, take a step back and think about what you really want.’

In this, the 32nd episode of David´s CALM Leadership series, he continues with last week´s building strong work relationships theme. This time, he is explaining how to hire, hone and retain the right team. He includes tips to help you get the balance right so that you can treat your team members well without undermining your position as their leader.

He starts by reminding us of why we need a team so much. Then, he provides you with a simple method to identify what you need and find the right people to get things done.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• 80% of what you achieve is done with the help or collaboration of other people. 
• You can´t achieve much without a team.
• If you are struggling the chances are you are trying to do it with an incomplete team.
• Stop automatically thinking how can I do this? Instead, think who do I need to hire to get it done?
• Even solopreneurs rely on other people to do things for them so that they can deliver their products or services. E.g. a marketing agency.
• Look at your relationships with each team member, rate how strong it is and identify how you can improve things.
• Produce an action plan. It will keep you accountable and make sure things improve, which is good for both of you.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Your team is everyone you need to make it work.’

‘Something has been missing… and that probably isn´t a thing. It’s probably a who.’

‘Find the gaps in the first instance, then, plug them.’

‘Prioritise where you focus your efforts for relationships. ’

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The values of your business are a big part of your brand.

• If you want to create a strong brand be transparent about your values and stand by them. 

• When you act outside of your stated values, people notice, and it damages your brand.

• If you want to attract decent people you need to be very clear about what you stand for and what you don´t.

• In some companies employees are pressuring their employers to do more for the environment.

• Many companies are so driven by helping the environment that they are doing things that make it harder for them to compete in the market. Patagonia is an example of this.

•  Some companies do things they know are wrong or illegal because they can make more money. Yet, studies show that it’s the honest, ethical companies that make higher profits over the long term.

BEST MOMENTS

“The book talks about large corporations, but an entrepreneur can get inspired by these organizations and start working on creating a blueprint.”

“If you start as an organization with these principles firm in mind … the principles are the wind behind your wings,”

“We refer to transgressions as violations of expectations that stakeholders have of companies.”

In this episode, David speaks with Paul D Lowe, the founder of World Game Changers, which is a Community Interest Company (CIC). They work to enhance people's lives, while enhancing the planet, through taking preservation action. Operating as catalysts for purpose, prosperity, and peace. 

Paul explains how his own suffering led to him fighting for the underdog. He shares details of the journey he took to identify and understand his purpose. They also talk about how to control your emotions, make drastic changes, and learn to love yourself and others.

• You need to be careful about what you focus on.
• Forgiveness is vital.
• There are two levels of purpose. Things we do on a human level and things we do on a deeper level.
• The language you use and expose yourself to has a massive impact on how you behave.
• Find safe ways to release your frustrations. Exercise or punching the pillow are two examples.
• Learn to become the director of your own film, rather than being the actor. You determine the script.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Pain is actually quite useful, isn't it? If we use it as a powerful lever, we´re aware of it. Suffering isn´t.’

‘Have the faith to follow the path.’

‘Be aware of the deadly three Cs – Criticism. Comparison and complaining.’

‘With every swing of the pendulum, one learns more about oneself if one is open to it’

ABOUT THE SHOW

People with purpose make a difference. Imagine a world where more people can just get their purpose out of them, into a plan and then actually make it happen. What a world that would be - People everywhere finding meaning and harnessing that to bring inspiration and energy to each and every day, changing lives for the better. But no one ever achieved anything on their own - we all have something unique to bring and that means we all have to play our part - if we want to go far we have to go together and lead or serve towards a vision of the world we want to see. Everyone has a story to tell, and this show is where these stories come to life.

For this episode, David is joined by Dre Baldwin. He is a former pro athlete, prolific author, founder of Work on Your Game Inc., and 4-time TEDx speaker who runs a daily masterclass with millions of listeners. Dre teaches people how to master their “Game” in business, sport, and life. 

Doing so by developing a bulletproof mindset and learning how to deploy strategies and use tactics that enable you to adapt and be effective in a rapidly changing world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most people know exactly how to get things done, but still don´t do them. Their underlying mindset is not right. How we think controls what we do. Success only comes when you fix your mindset.
• Changing your underlying mentality requires repetition. 
• You need to know what you want and, more importantly, why you want it. The why is the driver.
• The principles of personal development remain the same, but at times the approach you take will need to change.
• If a book resonates with you, listen to it on audio 7+ times, so it imprints on your subconscious mind.
• Be careful about what you take in. It is going to come out in some shape or form.
• If you are failing at something, hire someone e.g. if you can´t lose weight, hire a personal trainer.
• Leading a structured life develops self-discipline and confidence. Routines become habits, so things get done. 

BEST MOMENTS

‘When it comes to serving others, you get to serve yourself at the same time.’

‘Most people come looking for tactics when what they actually need is principles.’

‘Take complete ownership of your situation even if it is not your fault.’

‘Discipline is a simple byproduct of structure.’

Are you looking for inspiration? Are you looking for a good source of ideas to work out whether you're on the right track? What is the purpose of your business or the mission of the organisation that you work for? Are you feeling like you are kind of drifting a little bit, or just going through the motions in some way? 

If your answer to any of the above questions was yes, you are in the right place. In this episode, David shares three questions to ask yourself, that will help you to break out of those thought patterns and behaviours. He explains how to stop them holding you back, uncover your purpose, get back your mojo and be inspired to make an impact.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• To get what you want out of life you need to have clarity about your purpose.
• If you are not clear about what you want to achieve you will waste energy and drift.
• Get in touch with your intuition.
• Your story, what has happened to you, is usually what makes you passionate about something.
• What's your impact?
• Making a difference to others is a great way to find inspiration and gain focus.

‘What is it about life that makes you want to leap out of bed in the morning?’

‘Other people will be able to relate to your story.’

GUEST BIO

Leadership skills save lives. Become the exceptional firefighter and leader that your community can count on!
A good fire officer can read smoke, understand building construction, and fight fires. Exceptional leadership, though, means going above and beyond what is required to answer the call of duty. In the fire service, it can be the difference between survival or disaster.
Leadership qualities can advance your career and develop you into the firefighter and exceptional leader that your fire department, crew, and the community can count on.
In Leadership Refined by Fire, John M. Cuomo leverages over two decades as a firefighter to help you become the fire service leader you are seeking to be. This guide will teach you:
• A step-by-step game plan to develop and improve leadership skills, based on inspirational leaders throughout history.
• Key practices for self-care during a tough job.
• How to practice effective leadership in times of chaos.
• Methods to empathetically care for people in crisis, both on emergency scenes and in the firehouse.
• How to deliver exceptional customer service.
• Tips for building a motivational culture while coaching the next generation of firefighters.
Effective leadership is the backbone for safety—and success—in the unpredictable and dangerous fire service. Deeply personal and backed with raw, real-life experiences, Leadership Refined by Fire is a how-to guide you can use to become the leader you are seeking to be—start your journey today.

For this episode, David is joined by Ceri Rees, the founder of Wild Running. He has made it his life work to help people enjoy running in the wild, connecting with the landscape and themselves, as they do. They talk a lot about this type of running, including why it is so beneficial for you on a mental, physical and emotional level. Ceri explains how the events he runs are set up to help worthy causes.
He and David also discuss what zombie running is and how to avoid it, wild swimming, understanding what motivates you, attitudes towards money, social media, communication and much more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Pain is temporary whether it is mental or physical, you come through it.
• Running helps you connect with other people, nature, and yourself.
• You do not have to be a fast runner to find it beneficial. 
• Even running in the park helps you to reconnect with nature. But wild running takes things to the next level.
• Running in the wild enables you to get into a rhythm while keeping yourself engaged rather than zombie running which can happen when running on pavements.
• You´ve got to play to your strengths and explore your motivation.
• If you've got a mission that you're going after, you've got to find a way to fund it somehow, which motivates you to work hard and be effective.
• Social media is a good way to connect with people, but it has its downsides too, some of which Ceri and David discuss.
• You’ve got to have balance in life and be sure that any sacrifices you make are worth the cost.

BEST MOMENTS
‘I reconnect with myself again when I am out running,’
‘it's (wild running is) a very immediate way of reminding yourself that you are at the whim of the elements and not the other way around.’
‘Running has its place for dealing with stress and for relaxing you mentally …. but if I am super stressed, …. do an interval session.’
‘we're not all motivated by money.’

For this episode, David is joined by Alex Abraham, the author of Trauma and Ecstasy. He is on a mission to share what he's learned about how psychedelics can help with overcoming trauma.

As a child, Alex was sexually assaulted by an authority figure which traumatised him and led to physical illness. Alex explains how psychedelics, used in a therapeutic setting, opened the door to the feelings and emotions he had been suppressing. Something that is enabling him to work through his trauma in a healing way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Trauma can cause physical health problems as well as affect you mentally and emotionally.
• Psychedelics lower the barriers enabling you to fully process the thoughts and feelings you have been hiding or running from.
• To get a therapeutic outcome with psychedelics, you need a qualified guide. Not using one can cause more damage.
• Psychedelics are not the answer for anyone. For some, they will have a destabilising effect.
• Ultimately, self-centeredness comes from trauma.
• When you work through the hurt you can start letting go of the blame.

BEST MOMENTS

‘It wasn't until I started working through those emotions, that the muscle tension started to get better.’

‘My hope is that by shining a light I can help trauma survivors know they are not alone.’

‘Psychedelics open the door to these feelings and emotions. It's up to you to work through them in a therapeutic setting later.’

In this episode, David looks at motivation. He starts by explaining what it is, where it comes from, and how it can be harnessed to help us to get things done, achieve and fulfil our potential. David looks at both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators, the different sources, and how to tap into them.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Motivation could be described as the reason we care about something.

• If you have been feeling de-motivated for a long time you may need to seek help for your mental health. Off days happen, typically once a week, any more than that is a cause for concern.
• Feeling overwhelmed can demotivate you. Try to focus on one thing for a while.
• Look out for overwhelm, look out for burnout, and look out for depression as potential causes of a lack of motivation.
• Do something if you are feeling demotivated, it will give you momentum.
• Clear away distractions and use the Pomodoro technique to get more done, which is in itself motivating.

BEST MOMENTS

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Your beliefs impact problem-solving and decision-making.
• As a child we form our belief system based on experiences, socialisation and other factors. At some point, those beliefs hold us back from going into certain situations.

• In challenging situations start each meeting with what is going well and what you are already doing to address the problems.
• David shares a simple way to prove to yourself and your team that you can solve problems. Thus, neutralising the negative belief that you don´t have the ability to overcome the challenge(s) you are currently facing.
• Use flipping the script as a way to use positive beliefs to overcome and quieten negative beliefs. David explains how during the episode.
• Identify core beliefs that serve you and work to change those that are not serving you.

BEST MOMENTS

“The problem is not the problem. The problem is the state that you go into as you approach the context where you think the problem is.”

“The belief tells us whether we should or shouldn't go into this situation .”

“If you start the meeting with what's going well, then actually that immediately lifts the vibe in the room.”

“ There's ways to borrow belief and borrow advocacy that can help you .”

In this episode, David talks about our most valuable asset – our time. Explaining how to use this precious, finite resource wisely, so that you can get the most out of each moment. Teaching you how to live rather than exist and fulfil your purpose.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• You can't make more time, but you can make more of the hours in your day.
• Start each day by reminding yourself of your vision and make doing the things that align with that your priority. When you do that, you will enjoy a snowball effect that will lead you to your goals far faster.
• Limiting the time you have to complete a task makes you more decisive.
• Learn the difference between a treat and your addictions which zap your time.
• When you think of a task, jot it down. This gets it out of your head, so you have a clearer mind.

BEST MOMENTS
‘The proper function of man is to live not to exist, I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.’
‘What would you love, fill your day with the highest priorities that align most strongly with what you value the most.’
‘If you do open an email, you resolve to only touch it once. It's one and done.’
‘No more diminishing returns.’

In this episode, David is joined by Dr. Fred Moss, who is a long-serving healthcare practitioner. He is keen to emphasise the importance of human connection and wants to create an authentic healing experience and process for people. Dr. Moss is also the creator of the true voice methodology.
An approach that enables people to tap into their most authentic selves. They discuss why most of us hide who we are, the impact that has on the way our energy flows and our health, and how to stop stifling ourselves.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Most of us pretend to be someone we are not, to protect the person that we are e.g., to keep our job or friends. We let fear dominate.
• People are not speaking up or only conveying a muffled version of who they are. We are stifled, which is making us ill.
• If someone is being authentic, even if their view is the opposite of yours, you remain curious about why they think as they do.
• Living in fear keeps your body stressed, which makes you ill.
• Human connection plays a huge role in healing. Being authentic enables you to connect with others.
• Not being your true self does not protect you, eventually, you get found out and that bad thing you feared happens anyway.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Our True voice is what most of us are not using,’
‘We think that agreeing with someone is a way of avoiding conflict, when in fact, the best way to avoid conflict is to be authentic with someone.’
‘Authenticity is really attractive to most humans.’
‘The truth is simply the truth. It's not anything to hide from’

This Tiny Noticeable Things (TNT) episode follows up on the advice David shared in his previous podcast about how to lead effectively in a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous (VUCA) world. Specifically, it is about managing people and resources in the rapidly evolving and shifting environment we now live in. A world that for many people feels unstable and insecure.

In this episode, David takes you through a simple model that anyone can use to successfully navigate living in this rapidly changing world. A way to thrive while helping everyone around you to do the same.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When working in an ever-changing environment, you need to find time to pause and reassess things using the model David shares.
• Having a clear and inspiring vision is key to enabling people to understand why they need to make the change and what will be achieved.
• Following a clear action plan is essential to make the change effective.
• Clear milestones are essential for guidance and for measuring effectiveness.
• If you do not have in place all five elements of the change management model that David shares, you will end up with confusion and anxiety.

BEST MOMENTS

‘What skills do you need to make the change stick?’

‘What resources do you need? That can be people, systems, technology, processes, raw materials….’

‘If you haven´t got resources, but you have the rest you end up with frustration.’

In this episode, David sits down to speak to Darren Jamieson who is the host of the Engaging Marketeer podcast. He's a public speaker. And he's the co-founder of Engage Web, helping his clients to be the center of attention on their terms.
Darren explains why he is planning to grow his SEO agency, Engage Web, by buying from other companies. They also discuss what a business needs to do to be able to rank high in Google and convert visitors to their website into buyers.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There are a lot of businesses that do not understand what they are worth. So, you can get a real bargain if you buy one and keep the founder on as a partner.
• Sort out your website, before you start an SEO or digital marketing campaign. It has to be user-friendly.
• Your website needs to be ranking for the terms searchers use when they are ready to actually buy. Those terms they use when searching for a solution to their problems.
• Go into business with someone who has different skills from you.
• Put in place processes for everything your business does and do so from the very start.
• Don´t be the person that can buy all of the video games you want but does not have the time to play them.
• Hire someone to do the things you are not good at and the things that you are doing that do not make you a lot of money.
• Build a business that does not require you to be there all the time. The lighter your touch, the easier it is for you to step back or sell.

BEST MOMENTS
‘The fastest way to grow a business is to actually buy another one,’
‘Under promise and over deliver.’
‘Big corporate businesses have different buying criteria. So, their buying criteria means that they are looking at things like, you know, the financial credentials of a business.’
‘The first person you hire is critical. You want somebody that can do the things that you don't like doing. Or you're not as good at what isn't as high value.’

For this episode, David is joined by Christa Steizmuller the CTO Chief Technology Officer of CharityWater. She explains how they bring clean water to people. They discuss why transparency, trust, and technology are so important, particularly in the context of Charity Water's 100% model. A way of working that means one set of donors covers all operating costs, while 100% of what small donors give is spent directly on water projects.

David & Christa discuss how non-profits work, what for-profits can learn from them and how they can collaborate more closely.

To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Over 700 million people are living without clean water. 10 years ago, it was 1 billion.
• Water infrastructure is expensive; many countries can´t afford to build it, so many use private water companies.
• The water points are fitted with sensors to spot issues early.
• CharityWater always looks at existing simple tech first to see if that can be used and improved.
• Use your data to tell compelling stories.
• Non-profits work under a lot of constraints; this makes them very innovative.
• Stick to your mission, and continually pivot to achieve it.
• Take care of your team, in particular, their mental health and don´t overwork them.

BEST MOMENTS

‘They are safe in knowing that 100% of their donation goes directly to projects.’

‘These sensors didn´t exist, we had to build them ourselves.’

‘Every single piece of information that we have is an asset.’

‘How successfully you can continue to pivot is what ultimately drives your success.’

In this episode, which is the 9th in David´s series, you will learn how to embody CALM communication, so that you can become a better leader. David explains how to regulate your emotional and mental state, which impacts how you behave, and in turn, directly affects the results you get. 

He explains how to create calm anchors you can use to remain in a good emotional and mental state in situations when you would normally feel anxious or overwhelmed. Using this technique, you stay in control, so you can continue to be an effective communicator, regardless.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The way you choose to see and feel about the world creates the world you live in. 
• How you view things has an impact on how effective a communicator you are. If you don´t believe in pleasing your customers, you will never convince others to do so.
• Learn to regulate your emotional and mental state. It impacts your behaviour, which affects your results.
• Meditation and breathwork help, but can´t be used in the moment things go wrong. However, emotional anchors can. David explains how to quickly create and deploy them.
• The ability to remain calm in any circumstances is a powerful skill, which can be learned.
• The present is where you get to choose, to choose to embody who you need to be in that moment.

BEST MOMENTS

‘If you're creating a desire in somebody in yourself or in others, you're creating an urge.’

‘It's our behaviour that directly impacts the outcomes, we create.’

‘Embody that sense of calm that puts you in control of your state.’

‘There's no such thing as unresourceful people, there's only unresourceful states.’

In this episode, David talks about what it takes to be a leader in a world that is far more Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous (VUCA) than it was, in the past. He starts by using examples of how VUCA has impacted our lives in recent years.
There are a lot of risks to manage, which sounds bad, but actually represents an opportunity. In the episode, David explains how to prepare yourself to take advantage of it.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• VUCA stands for Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous.
• The way the supply chain was stretched after the pandemic is an example of how things can suddenly become far more complex.
• Ambiguity arises from having an incomplete picture, something that is quite common these days.
• Those that have the confidence not to retreat in a more rapidly changing world will stand out positively.
• We need to build wriggle room into our plans.
• Ask yourself what you can do to ensure your teams are in a state of preparedness. Being ready to evolve and adapt.
• Tap into the insights your team have.
• Communication is even more vital in a VUCA world.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When looking at the future, it´s hard not to imagine a world where volatility, uncertainty and change really will be a constant feature,’

‘There are some questions you ask as part of a kind of risk assessment so you can harness the idea behind VUCA.’

‘We can up the visibility when it comes to vision and strategy.’

‘Pursue empowered delegation’

In this episode, which is the 46th in David´s CALM leadership series, David continues to take a deeper look at influence. Today, he covers how to deeply understand your customers' needs so you can tailor what you offer to fully meet them. Particularly when you are dealing with a complex sale where there are different buyer influences in play because the decision whether to buy does not rely on a single individual.

He explains how to draw up a buying influencers chart and how to work out whether the buyers are in growth, in trouble, even keel or overconfident mode.

To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Influencing as part of a selling process is a core skill for leaders as well as for a salesperson.
• Create a strategy for making the sale.
• Work out who has the most influence when it comes to deciding whether they buy or not.
• Pull together the information each person will want to know before being in a position to agree to the sale.
• Look for your strengths and identify any red flags that might stop someone from agreeing to the sale.
• You need to look at things from the perspective of the buyers. Don´t dismiss their worries as being silly, prepare to address them instead.
• Listen to the language the buyer uses. It tells you whether they are in growth mode and ready to buy.

BEST MOMENTS

‘All influences and influencers in the sale they must be sold to.’

‘You're looking for ways to meet the needs that the customer has got.’

‘They need to believe that you and what you're offering can bridge that gap.’

‘As you go through a sales process, what you're looking to do is to create Win-Win’

In this episode, which is the 36th in David´s CALM leadership series he talks about candour - radical candour and why as a leader it is essential. David starts by asking you to work out the consequences of not being completely honest at home, at work, with your colleagues, family, and friends. 

He explains why ducking the issue because you are afraid to be candid, to be 100% honest, is rarely a good idea. Then, teaches you how to say what you mean and be honest without being nasty.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Understand what the consequences of your choosing not to say what you mean are.
• Your body language shows people you are being dishonest, and they won´t trust you.
• You only have to lie to someone once for them to not trust you moving forward.
• It is possible to be clear, without being nasty.
• You need to care personally and make it obvious that you feel that way. If you don´t know how to do that, don´t worry it is a skill anyone can learn.
• Praising someone you don´t like, does not feel like praise to them.
• Build rapport, before giving feedback.
• Ruinous empathy means you don´t say anything when you should, which can be even more damaging than obnoxious aggression.
• Giving empty praise, backhanded compliments and being two-faced about someone is manipulative insincerity.

BEST MOMENTS

‘This is about being clear and not nasty.’

‘Obnoxious aggression is where you challenge somebody directly, but you don't care personally.’

‘Caring personally is a cultural thing.’

‘The returns can be huge, the time you save is massive.’

Jeremy also became a VP of the Institute of Customer Service in 2017. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The ultimate business is the business that is constantly improving its technology and constantly improving its engagement with its people.
• The pandemic destroyed a lot of businesses, the ones that have survived through it all were mainly able to adapt and turn the lockdown into a time to implement long term strategies much faster.
• There’s a lot to be said for the old adage “Where there’s muck, there’s brass”, especially when it comes to the property market.
• Being an entrepreneur does have a bad rap. In reality, without these people, businesses would stagnate without the risks entrepreneurs would regularly take. 
• You need to empower your people and allow them to challenge the norm, but you also need to take them on your journey and the direction it’s going.
• Situations beyond your control will sometimes present themselves and force your back to the wall. Surrounding yourself with the best team and the right mentors will always see you through any of these adversities.

‘It’s all by accident and I’ve made everything up as I’ve gone along really and it’s a plan that’s worked for me.’

In this episode, David is joined by Natalie, Arabella Bailey, who is a property investor, and developer, and an entrepreneur who is known as the confidence expert. She helps entrepreneurs build and grow their confidence so that they can build and grow their businesses and also be successful in life.

Natalie shares several ways to build up your confidence levels, so you can achieve what you want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Building up your confidence makes it easier for you to succeed.
• Look at the habits that are not serving you and work out why you are doing it, before replacing that habit with a healthy one.
• Confidence is a muscle you need to keep building, which means you have to push yourself regularly to experience further improvement.
• Tapping into who you really are and what you really want naturally boosts your confidence.
• Exercise challenges you physically and mentally, which is good for confidence. Find something you enjoy and get better and better at it.
• Accept and acknowledge that you're going to fail in life. Once you do, you'll always be able to pick yourself up and move forwards and do that with more confidence.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Without confidence, you cannot move forward.’

‘What I found for me that really worked was focusing on how healthy can I get my body to be.’

‘Routine is important. And having that discipline makes a massive difference.’

‘It's just tapping into how you feel when you do the thing that you've confident at and then using it when you're not feeling so confident.’

For this episode, Carol Sanford again joins David. She has played a significant role in transforming hundreds of individuals, organisations, companies, and society as a whole. She challenges the idea that most people need to be told precisely how to live and accomplish tasks. 

A  damaging belief that has led to a society that does not enable people to think for themselves. Carol explains how each of us can break that negative cycle, retake control, and lead ourselves and society to a better life and world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Everyone has the hardware and software to think for themselves.
• Society is structured around the belief that people cannot think for themselves. As a result, most of us no longer believe that we can do so.
• Beating yourself up when you make a mistake wears you down and leads to you giving up and following the crowd.
• Companies that structure work so there is no hierarchy and build individual capabilities increase revenue by 35 to 65%.
• Anyone that has a vision has an attachment to doing things one way, which is not healthy.
• The key aim is to deliver something that is effective and does what the customer needs. Most organisations focus on efficiency instead.

BEST MOMENTS

‘We have been conditioned as a society to almost need expertise like a drug.’

‘Thinking is a gift that is so underdeveloped.’

‘When you standardise you don´t innovate.’

For this episode, David is joined by Ryan Pinnick, who is the founder and CEO of Super Genius Global. An organization that helps people to unlock their purpose and get in touch with their super genius to live the life they truly desire.

Ryan explains why becoming self-aware is the foundation of change. He and David discuss the vital role intuition plays and how to recognize and take note of it. Ryan also explains how to improve your self-worth and stretch yourself in a healthy way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Learn to recognize intuition and tap into it.
• Quiet your mind so that you can hear your intuition.
• Uncovering your purpose is a process, start small. Try asking yourself what you love and start doing that.
• When you raise your frequency, answers start to come.
• When you are in a highly emotional state, pause. Do not let yourself make important decisions while in this heightened state.
• Be aware of letting your ego lead you in the wrong direction.
• You have got to be curious and try things out. That is when your genius comes out.
• Address low self-worth. If yours stays low, you will continue to attract low-paying, unreliable clients.
• Push yourself out of your comfort zone, but be careful not to overdo it.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Starting small is critical.’

‘Our spirit is where our genius is’

‘Curiosity is a beautiful gateway.’

‘You have to be ok with pressure. OK with getting it wrong.’

Over the past twenty five years Jack has set up and run two successful businesses that have positively influenced over a hundred thousand people, helping individuals to unlock their hidden talents.  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Having a firm set of self beliefs means you can achieve goals that others will say you’ll never reach.
• Every job advert wants people that are confident with good inter personal skills and unfortunately these skills aren’t in any kind of formal education and instead picked up along the way.
• Do you spend enough time thinking about your own standards, qualities and principles? To be a good leader, you need to know your own before expecting these of others.
• Working out “what’s enough?” and what your capacity is will prevent any burnout and also give you the space to check in with where you are in terms of your own journey and purpose.
• Despite the old saying, failure is always an option and can become a valuable lesson and open unexpected or unplanned for opportunities.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Obviously with the last two years we lost a lot of money and that wasn’t the main part, I think we lost a bit of our purpose about what do you do when you’re so passionate about helping others?’

‘I don’t think I really flourished at school, I wasn’t told I couldn’t achieve things.’

‘We talk about leading others, but we don’t often talk about leading ourselves and I think personal leadership is a huge area that we need to focus on.’

‘I’ve failed lots of times in life and I think the biggest lesson I’ve learnt about that is that failure’s OK. It’s OK to fail because you are giving it a go. You are out there.’

The average person spends about an hour and fifty minutes a day. That’s five years in the average lifetime. On this episode David takes an in-depth look at the five steps he uses to turn worries into a superpower:

• Make a list of your worries.
• Decide what you can do about it right now.
• You’ve got to decide to accept uncertainty.
• Focus on what matters most.
• Take action! 

BEST MOMENTS

‘Without failure, there can’t be any successes.’

‘Today I don’t tend to worry about many things, but it wasn’t always like that.’

‘I realised that something had to change and that something was me.’

‘No-one knows what the future will hold and lots of people worry about “what if”, “What might happen” when they’ve got no possibility of doing anything about it. It really is unproductive.’

In this episode, David sits down to speak to Andy Hawkins who helps companies to get B Corp certification. That designation shows that a business is meeting high standards when it comes to social and environmental performance. To secure and keep it companies are monitored using verifiable performance data.

Andy explains what his work involves, and the positive impact B Corp is having on the world and the companies that strive to achieve the standard. He set up a “couch to 5K” style process, which he has successfully taken 130 businesses through in just 20 months.

• When you use B Corp companies you know you are dealing with ethical firms.
• B Corp covers social and environmental impact.
• Any type, size of business, in any country can use B Corp to improve their ethics.
• Most company owners think they run an ethical business. It is only when you ask them – How do you know that is the case? That they realize there is room for improvement.
• People want to work for and stay with B Corp companies.
• Stop being afraid of selling. If you have what someone needs, why would you not want to give them the chance to buy it?
• Only 700 companies in the UK meet the B Corp standards.
• There is currently a private member’s bill going through parliament that will make meeting high ethical standards a legal responsibility.
• Seek and act on the advice you get from people that you trust.
• Be resilient. Don’t give up and always have a plan B.
• Invest in yourself. Take time out to regularly recalibrate.

BEST MOMENTS

‘B Corp is to business what Fairtrade is to coffee,’

‘B Corp is not a once and forever destination, it is an ongoing process.’

‘All round resilience, being able to get back up when you are knocked down, is important.’

‘If you are looking at making a big change in your life, understand what motivates you.’

Today, David is joined by entrepreneur, prolific author, and disrupter Rob Moore to talk about The Money Matrix. A system that whoever controls the central banks, and the governments has created as a powerful monopoly to maximise profit. Doing so in a way that benefits the shareholders of whoever owns the world, far more so than it does ordinary people.

Rob explains how to escape the money matrix and create your own mini-monopoly. A system that benefits you and generates the wealth and security so many of us seek.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• For every £10 you earn £7 is swallowed by the system.
• The central banks and government exercise a lot of control. You can use money to gain freedom.
• Having enough money means being able to live freely and comfortably while always beating the inflation rate.
• Becoming an entrepreneur enables you to create money that the system can´t control.
• Tax is your biggest expense. For an employed person, starting a side hustle is step one of controlling tax expenditure.
• Do what the banks do keep your money moving, keep investing and earning. 
• How you invest depends on how much money you have and how dependent you are on it.
• Back yourself. Start by investing in what you know.

BEST MOMENTS

‘What can you do without money, nowadays? Virtually nothing.’

‘The main way that you can create freedom is to have money and have money that the system can't control.’

‘Money enables a better delivery of your purpose.’

‘In 10 years, that is going to be worth half, so it´s not enough money anymore.’

In this episode, David talks with Kane Baron who is a podcast legend who empowers people on their journey to become their own media empire gurus. He is Progressive Podcast’s Agency Development Manager. Kane has helped them to become the largest podcast agency for independent creators.

Kane explains how he uses podcasts for personal development, to clear his mind and to inspire himself. As well as explaining how they have helped him to manage his dyslexia. He and David also talk about stopping fear from holding you back. They also discuss how to start a successful podcast.

• Podcasts provide a very flexible way to learn.
• Most dyslexics find different ways to communicate. Podcasting is an example of this.
• Fear and courage are two ends of the same spectrum, which means if you are feeling fearful you can slide yourself towards finding the courage you need.
• Setting goals that are slightly harder than your current skill set keeps you trying without overstressing you.
• Everyone suffers from imposter syndrome, including successful podcasters. So, don’t let it hold you back.
• We all have experience which means we all have something important to share.
• If you want to do something, go and work for someone who is already doing it.

BEST MOMENTS

‘Audio is awesome when you are on the move,’

‘I’ve got a 2022 goal which is to help 10,000 podcasters.’

In this fascinating episode, David speaks to Chris Rock who is a chief information security officer, and co-founder of SIE Monster, which is an organisation designed to save us from ourselves and the threat of cyber insecurity. He is also still an active hacker, so, he really does have insider knowledge.
Chris explains the most common scams people end up falling for and how to make sure that you do not become a victim of them. As well as providing insight into how hackers are using bots and AI and the impact these tools are likely to have on society and businesses.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• We are all more exposed than we realise online to hackers, scammers, and other bad players.
• If someone sends you money to email you and says here are my new bank account details, never trust it. Call them and check if the email is genuine.
• Never ring phone numbers in emails, always use the ones you know are genuine.
• Companies need to put in place tools to pick up the fact an employee has inadvertently opened a spam email.
• Educate your staff about digital security and why it matters.
• Keep your wealth in multiple places, e.g., have multiple bank accounts.
• Don't use credit cards abroad, use virtual ones.
• Scammers can now use AI and bots to run hundreds of dating scams all at once.
• AI is going to take jobs. Now is the time to get involved in the tech field to protect yourself from this shift.

BEST MOMENTS
‘You can't trust anything that comes in electronically anymore.’
‘As a hacker myself, I know that I'm gonna get hacked.’
‘Split your risk with everything.’

They discuss how to move with the times in a digital and social media environment that is in a constant state of flux.

To explore how to get unstuck on your mission, put your purpose into practice, and convert your ideas into impact book a discovery call with David here https://calendly.com/david-peoplewithpurpose/30min 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Whilst the channels and tactics that work are constantly changing the principles remain the same.
• You can use AI to generate content faster and make it more polished. Ashley explains how. But the human touch is still essential.
• Most small businesses operate in survival mode. Pause to work out who your customers are. Doing that produces amazing growth.
• Always analyse the results of your campaigns, so the next one is more effective.
• Every customer you have has the potential to be an influencer. They will all share their experience, at some point.
• Using rewards and gamifying, incentive-based social sharing, massively boosts the effectiveness of campaigns. 
• Centre marketing around the benefits of your product or service, not the features.
• You need full control of your brand, money and customer data to be able to successfully pivot. Something all businesses have to do regularly.
• Periodically review your personal goals. Your life changes and you evolve, and so does what you want.
• Event marketing that is immersive and engages all of the senses is powerful. People feel compelled to use their phones to share it.
• If you host an event, make it worth people´s while to attend. Time is precious to them.

BEST MOMENTS

“Things are changing pretty quickly with social media continuously advancing quicker than ever, with AI and influencers.”

“Who is your target audience, and how do they spend their time online? That will help you decide where to hang out.”

“Turn every single customer that you have into an influencer for your brand.”

For this episode, David is joined by Mark Newey - the UK’s number one radical self-discovery coach, teacher, disrupter and protagonist. Mark explains how he helps people to uncover how their subconscious, which governs 91% of their decisions, works. Once someone has done this and learned who they actually are they can take full control of their lives and achieve what they really want.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• 91% of how we live is about our subconscious. If you don’t understand the role your unconscious mind is playing in your decisions you will become stuck.
• Your brain filters everything through a program that it has created based on your experiences. If that filter is flawed, which it often is, you will always struggle.
• The most important relationship in your life is the one you have with yourself.
• The key to happiness and fulfillment is being comfortable with who you are. If you hate yourself, which most people do, life is pretty awful.
• Being vulnerable is an important step towards being authentic, so you can become comfortable with who you are.
• Stress is a warning signal that something is not quite right.
• Just putting your head down and getting on with it, is not the answer. At some stage, you will be overwhelmed.
• When you are constantly stressed, your ability to do anything well drops by 40%. If you feel stressed work out why and make the necessary changes.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Stress is not a mental health issue.’

‘Keep calm and carry on – worst advice ever.’

‘We blokes need to learn how to talk to our mates and open up.’

In this episode, which is part 11 of David´s CALM leadership series, he looks at the role accountability plays in becoming an effective leader. He also explains why organizational accountability starts and ends with having and communicating a compelling why.

David also explains how any business can uncover and tap into the power of its compelling why.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When people have a compelling reason to do so, they become super heroes and strength seems to come from nowhere. This natural tendency can be tapped into.
• Business is not about making money for the shareholders. It is about solving problems for your customers. That is what the team is actually working to achieve. That is its why.
• What intrinsically motivates you and your team? What do you love most about what you do?
• Work out what you stand for and what you stand against.
• Ask each team member what they think the business is there to achieve.
• If your purpose is compelling enough, ownership becomes the only obvious choice for people.
• Be accountable to your purpose above all else. Ask will this new software/process/tool help us to achieve our purpose? If not, what will?

BEST MOMENTS
‘Accountability resides deep inside us all,’

‘Motivate people into action, rather than manipulate.’

‘What is the difference that you are trying to make in the world?’

‘Your purpose as an organization, your reason for being, your compelling why is a living, breathing thing.’

He helps property investors and developers secure the capital they need to create magic so people can live and work with joy and freedom. While enabling these investors and developers to improve their own lives too. 

There are many ways to borrow or save the money you need to become a property investor. You can get started with a fairly small amount of money. Marc explains how, the broker's role and more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Choose your broker carefully, Marc explains.
• Brokers keep everything moving quickly.
• Brokers understand all property investment models and will identify the best ones for your circumstances.

• Don't tie up money you need. Getting things up and running can easily take months longer than planned.
• Allow a contingency of 10 to 15%.
• Understand the tax implications.
• Look for the win wins.
• Helping people along the way is fulfilling. You get to do that with property investing.

For this episode, David looks at how to lead with presence even when you are not physically there. Working to achieve this builds strong team members who feel empowered to get on with things, which makes growth much easier. David shares seven things you can do to reach that point.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• When you get leading with presence right you do not have to be physically present for your team to follow your lead and get the job done.
• It takes time to reach the point where your team can operate effectively without you. But investing that time pays big dividends for everyone.
• Once you have good people in your team, they will likely prefer to be left to get on with things.
• Routines create discipline, which creates focus and makes it easy for people to go on.
• There is a right time to direct, to coach, to support and to delegate. Learn when and who to use each approach with.
• Some things can be communicated via a note, while others require a face-to-face conversation. 
• Focus on how well the job gets done, not when it gets done.

BEST MOMENTS

‘By empowering your team, you can get the return on time that you put into your team.’

‘Coaching people is about helping them to work things out for themselves.’

‘Make your workplace a showcase that everyone can understand at a glance.’
