Today’s conversation is with David McIntosh.

David is a Management Consultant listed in the Business Insider 35 under 35, the Founder of the UK Social Mobility Network at KPMG, and host of the Development by David podcast.

I’ve gotten to know David really well over the last 3 years and it is only in the last few weeks I’ve learned the true extent of David’s childhood and start point in life. I was exposed to the actualised, focused and accomplished version you get to hear today, but life was not always like that and the likelihood of David’s positive trajectory was not certain at all.

In today’s episode, you can expect to learn about David’s life and mindset growing up in Prestwick, his struggles fitting in at school and in life with a weight of blame and shame around his circumstances. But if you’ve been exposed to David’s content in the last few years, you’ll know he is a huge proponent of personal responsibility and agency. With that in mind you’ll hear the levers and tools that empowered David to transform traumas into sources of strength. He offering advice to those battling shame, fear, and confusion rooted in their upbringing, nand you’ll enjoy insights we discuss together on how to build confidence, and competence.

Before we get into this episode, I want to say thank you to David for his raw insights on the loss of his mother, his experience of stand up comedy, the full circle moments of interviewing Sir Tom Hunter, speaking at his old secondary school, and much more.

David has been recognised as the UK’s number 1 apprentice by BPP for his role at KPMG, the Business Insider’s “35 under 35” - #20, Accountancy Age’s “35 under 35” - #20, and even ranked in the Top 20 Entrepreneurial Young Scots in 2023.

Today’s podcast is sponsored by vybey. vybey is an international nutrition company supplying world class meal replacement shakes.

Many of you will have seen me share vybey on my Insta story when having a quick & easy breakfast in the morning when I’m starting work at my laptop. 

Building the podcast alongside progressing my corporate career is stretching on time, but I won’t sacrifice the quality of my nutrition. vybey provides me with all the nutrients I need to set me up for the day and keeps me full until lunch. The thick shake in vanilla flavour surprised me just how filling it is.

From as little as £1.50 per meal, it’s a no brainier to give them a try.

Exciting Vybey also have produced their world class greens powder which you should check out. But I want to tell you about the Lions Mane Mushroom capsules I’ve been using.

Today’s conversation is with Ross Harkness.

Ross is a peak performance and personal branding master, helping an audience of over half a million people chase their potential through mastery and peak performance.

Expect to learn the 3 components of self mastery, 2 vital tools to help you live a life you want and ensure you’re consciously working towards it, why ego can be a good thing, and why a lot of productivity advice is a scam.

I loved hosting Ross and he has wisdom and actionable advice well beyond his years, you’re going to finish this conversation with actionable takeaways while enjoying hearing Ross’ own story and life.

One section I want to highlight is how valuable Ross’ self awareness has been in building a business which truly suits his personality traits. Something many of us overlook when setting out on our path.

Today’s conversation is a solo podcast, but not a Q&A.

It’s 13 Thoughts after turning 31 Years Old. A popular style of post from my Instagram and a longer form email I shared with my list over the years, I decided to turn it into a podcast last year with 30 Thoughts for episode 156.

This time round, I’ve flipped the numbers to 13 but I want to really explain each of the 13 thoughts.

You can expect to hear about optimisation versus perfection, becoming more interesting, time management, and even discomfort and change.

If you enjoyed this, make sure you are following or subscribed and leave a 5 star rating on Apple podcasts or Spotify.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Meg Jay.

Meg is a clinical psychologist and author of the Defining Decade: Why Your Twenties Matter and How to Make the Most of Them Now as well as a number of other books focusing on navigating and thriving during your youth.

A recent New York Times profile called Dr. Jay “the patron saint of striving youth” and her TED talk “Why 30 Is Not the New 20” is among the most watched to date. Dr. Jay earned a doctorate in clinical psychology, and in gender studies, from the University of California, Berkeley. She is on faculty at the University of Virginia and maintains a private practice in Charlottesville.

You can expect to learn why your 20s aren’t the most stress free decade of your life, what critical events take place during your 20s and what these can mean for your future, and why 30 is not the new 20 despite what some media tell you.

You will also hear about the importance of building identity capital, what role weak ties can play in shaping your life, how to be more introspective and know what you truly want.

Meg brings so much wisdom to the conversation and you’re going to hear in my voice just how much I enjoyed hosting this episode. I don’t say this lightly when I say this conversation has some of the most valuable insights and learnings I’ve heard in the last three and a bit years of podcasting. We know the cool stat that together we’ve built the show to the fun headline of a top 1% podcast globally, well this is a top 1% podcast of insights for you to enjoy.

Today’s conversation is with Steven Arena, better known as Really Tan Man.

Expect to learn what drove Steven to explore the food system and his mission to share some challenging information about the modern food system. I ask about Steven’s experience with exploring alternative options, diets and sources and his battle to raise awareness about the issues that our modern food system is having on people’s health.

I first became aware of the issues caused by seed oils when I looked into a common oil - soybean oil and its link to inflammatory bowel disease and leaky gut. There is a lot we can do individually about our food, where it comes from, and how it is made.

One of my favourite parts of this conversation I know you will resonate with is how Steven has been able to build a business and leave a highly paid job to pursue something he cares deeply about and how he identified a potential business and product he could scale in this space.

We got incredible feedback on our episode with Dr James McIlroy on the gut and microbiome, and I intend on doing more episodes which have even more specific diet and food recommendations and actions you can take to improve your gut health in the near future.

Today’s podcast is not brought to by one of my usual sponsors. It is by my upcoming Podcast Masterclass Course.

Most podcasts fail. 80% stop before hitting episode 8 then hundreds of thousands drop off before episode 24. The odds of a podcast succeeding are low. But that doesn’t have to be the case.

The benefits and opportunities I’ve created through podcasting have been incredible whether that’s for business, personal brand, and network - building a podcast opens so many doors.

Over the last 3 years, I’ve learnt so much in building a top 1% global podcast. I’ve distilled all this experience into a simple to follow 9 module video course including equipment and software guides, templates for managing and securing the best guests in your niche, and even my secrets to researching and preparing for interviews.

It’s due to release in late October 2023 but to register your interest early you can DM me the word ‘masterclass’ on Instagram or LinkedIn to get access to the early bird discounted offer of £50 off.

Today’s conversation the return of my round table discussions with Chris Burns, owner of Savage Scholar Consulting and David Hatt, Founder of MTN.

This time round we are standing on the shoulders of giants. In 2023, there are big pros and cons to the world of technology. One of the biggest pros has to be the access to information, knowledge and advice from the greatest minds of previous and current eras.

Together, we picked 4 ideas and 4 creators we’ve learned from and shared them with each other to discuss how we’ve actioned them and benefited from the information we have been lucky to have access to.

I’m recording this intro on my birthday the 10th of October before releasing this on the 11th. Last year for my 30th birthday I released 30 thoughts as a solo podcast, if you’d like something similar this year then drop me a DM on Instagram @col.cambro or on LinkedIn.
