Understanding Your 'Why' with John Loughton BEM - Social Entrepreneur

Today's episode is a wide ranging one and we think you'll have many take aways after hearing it, as Stephen sits down with John Loughton - Social Entrepreneur, Youth Rights Campaigner and Leadership Coach. He is the CEO of Dare to Lead and Scran Academy, a skills social enterprise which has produced over 150,000 meals for families during the pandemic and continues to do so. 

John has also raised over £6.5 million for good causes, and spoken to over 1 million people in over 55 different countries - just wait until you hear some of the power people and organisations he has addressed around the world.

Together, John and Stephen discuss the 'Why' we each have behind what we do (our purpose), as well as the importance of 'Yes' and the correlation between the two.

They touch on so many interesting topics throughout their discussion, including:

• The behavioural psychology behind our actions and the two motivators of behaviour
• Beauty standards across industries
• Authentic representation of self in the world
• Why John loves working with young people, what we can learn from them and helping to empower the next generation
• How to reach the older generation or those out with your own echo chamber, who have their own learned behaviours ingrained in them 
• Personal brand building and the four questions to ask yourself.
