Deeper Than Disco

This was such an incredible conversation! You’re about to listen to someone I’ve already spoken to on this podcast. Someone I know intimately and love so much!

We go right back to those very early days of our time and relationship together. What is evident is how he has really st...

Mohammed is one of those rare people I would categorise as fearless action takers. You know those people who get an extraordinary amount done, who don’t know the meaning of the word procrastinate.

Slow down to speed up is one of my favourite phrases and mantras and this conversation with Debbie Rennie takes a little while to get going, so stick with it. Debbie and I have been working together for several years and when we originally met she admits she was in a dark place, she felt completely stuck. She’s a 2nd generation and very talented marketing and PR professional. She took over the 20...

Of all the conversations I've had in creating the Deeper Than Disco Podcast, one that I've most looked forward to sharing is this weeks episode. Have you ever felt judged or shamed by others, or yourself, because of how you look, for things you've said or done? I'm guessing that the answer is yes, because you're a human being! Therefore, I cannot encourage you strongly enough t...

You’re about to hear me speak to Clare Jevons. Clare and I have known each other for some time and this was a really inspiring and equally humbling conversation for me.

But this isn't really about me. It's about you, the listener. Before you listen I invite you to UPGRADE your listening.
