Warning…rant contained within! This week’s Mindset Moment (every Thursday, 10 Mins or less), poses a question. Are people right to judge others for buying themselves their ultimate dream item after years of hard work? We see this often, male and female business owners or people that are deemed by others to have had some success, finally buying themselves that sports car, motorbike or boat. Is this a midlife crisis? Or is it the realisation of many years of hard work? Does that item (whatever it ...

We have reached the penultimate episode of the series, and what an episode we have for you guys this week! Quite rightly (due to our backgrounds) the vast majority of our podcasts have been looking at the entrepreneurial side of mindset and success habits, however this week’s episode makes most of our discussions (from an importance point of view) so far seem pretty small scale. Alex Flynn was only in his mid 30s when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is now the fastest grow...

We have a very special podcast for you this week. Michael McKinson is a professional boxer with a 20-0 record, but (up until 2021) he has (he feels) been overlooked for his big break. We spoke with Mikey just days before it was announced that he has been signed to a 3-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing. This came off the back of his biggest win to date, when Mikey beat Chris Kongo to land the WBO Global Welterweight title in the Sky Sports Box Office event in Gibraltar. M...
