This message will change your life for the better.

Once you find it, you have to find a way to maintain it.   #burningissues #motivation #inspiration #entrepreneur #mentalhealth

#29 - Striving for Perfection 05.03.2023

We all strive for it, however, perhaps it's more of a hindrance than we think. #burningissues #perfection #strivingforperfection

#28 - Living vs. Existing 26.02.2023

Perhaps, one of the most important videos I'll make. Particularly in challenging times with the cost of living crisis in the front of everybody's minds, this message needs to not only be heard but embodied daily. #burningissues #burningissue #motivation #motivate #inspire #live #life #costoflivingcrisis

#27 - Health Over Wealth 19.02.2023

A simple thought for this week, health is fundamentally more important than wealth.  After all what's the point of amassing capital and materials if you aren't able to enjoy them.   BE SELFISH, LEARN YOURSELF.   REST, RECHARGE, AND REENERGISE.   LEARN TO SAY NO.    ps. Sorry for the noise, I think the microphone was too close to my mouth! #burningissue #burningissues...

#26 - The Fragility of Life 12.02.2023

With the recent news of the devasting earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, leading to almost 30,000 deaths (at the time of recording on 12/02/23), this topic was at the forefront of my mind.   Life is short and fragile, don't procrastinate and put off what you want to do today, go out there and get after it.   #fragile #fragility #life #live #dontprocrastinate #procrastinate

#25 - Learning to Switch Off 05.02.2023

If I personally have one negative trait I'd like to work on, this is probably it. Super important to not just busy making a living that you forget to live a life.   What are you grappling with and looking to improve?   #personalgrowth #switchingoff #switchoff #worklifebalance #worklife #worklifeharmony #worklifeblend #blend #balance #relax #recharge #recover #entrepreneur #entrepernuersh...

Episode #23 - Non-Negotiables 10.03.2022

For me this is one of the most important practical steps you can implement today, to completely change your life.   #burningissues #nonnegotiables #inspire #motivate #positive #positivevibes #daily

Episode #22 - Paddle Your Own Canoe 06.03.2022

Rather than constantly worrying about where you need to be in regards to life stages at a certain point in time and comparing/contrasting against others, learn to stay in your own lane and live life on your own terms. Be aware of others in your periphery but fixating on them won't help you get to your destination, it will actually hinder it.  Do what comes naturally, the fast lane is by no me...

Episode #21 - Only Fools Worry About Things They Cannot Control 27.02.2022

I once saw this quote on a fridge magnet. Safe to say that I love it!  Enjoy and let me know what you think.  #burningissues #vlog #fools #worry #control #inspire #inspirationalquotes #motivate #positivevibes

Episode #20 - Drawing on Negativity 20.02.2022

The ability to turn past negative experiences and associated emotions to fuel your fire and goals is a phenomenal skill.    Everybody endures pain, suffering, grief, hardship and the like.  Find a way to use it to your benefit, your past, present and future self will adore you for it.

#18 - Momentum 13.02.2022

Momentum is a key tenet of any successful life.    Importantly we must remember that it works both ways and can become a burden if we aren’t careful.   #burningissues #momentum

#18 - Life is an Art, not a Science 07.02.2022

There is no manual to get to a destination.  If there was, life would be horrendously boring and somewhat pointless.   Instead, we are blessed with a canvas to create our own masterpiece each and every day.

#17 - Gratitude 07.02.2022

Capitalist and consumerist cultures, encourage us to want and strive for more.  However, we often forget to be thankful and truly appreciate what we already have.

#16 - Don't Change Yourself to Fit Someone Else 07.02.2022

Compromise is a hallmark of any successful relationship, however, changing or hiding parts of your character in fear of the other person discovering elements of your personality is extremely detrimental.

#15 - Rest, Relax, Rejuvenate 07.02.2022

With New Year and new goals in mind, I give my thoughts on an incredibly important and often neglected concept.

#14 - The Emotional Cycle of Change 07.02.2022

The emotional cycle of change is a model in psychology developed by Don Kelley and Daryl Conner in 1979, explaining how we face, react to and deal with changes in our lives.

#13 - Time 07.02.2022

A super simple concept, that we all must consider each and every day.

#12 - Enabling Others 07.02.2022

There is so much fulfilment from being of service to other people and helping them realise their dreams.

#11 - Experiences v Materials 07.02.2022

Why experiences are worth so much more than material goods.

#10 - Philanthropy 07.02.2022

Most likely the single most important podcast I will ever make.

#9 - Self-Belief 07.02.2022

In order to achieve your goals, this is of paramount importance.

#8 - Find Your Fuel 07.02.2022

This is a key component of my philosophy:  Passion + Purpose + Perseverance = Progress   We all go through tough times, it is how we recover from them and indeed use them as a catalyst for change that matters.

#7 - Ideas 07.02.2022

On this week's edition of Burning Issues:  The topic of ideas is discussed.   1) You have your great idea.   2) You Google it.   3) You find something similar.   4) You give up.   Sound familiar?  This habit is counter-intuitive, as I will explain.
