CamBro Conversations

Today’s conversation is with the gentlemen from Watts on Watches.

Mr Tom Watts and Mr Josh Cullum.

Expect to learn how they ended up building an online business as watch dealers, the importance of utilising different skillsets and personality types when growing a business, why the vintage watch market is so buoyant and looks set to continue to be, and the magical customer stories behind sourcing and selling watches during their first couple of years of business.

You’ll learn about the investment side of watches with insights on brands like Rolex, Cartier, and Tag Heur, what’s going on with all the fake watches out there, and the strong opinions and insights from Tom and Josh on their online growth.

This was a really timely conversation, pardon the pun, as Luxeconsult predict that by 2023 the vintage watch market could be worth $85 billion dollars after pre-owned watch sales rose by 20 percent in 2022.

It’s an area I’ve become more interested in and during the last year, and even if watches aren’t for you there’s a lot to learn from this conversation on online business, leveraging social media, and pursuing your passion.

Today’s podcast is sponsored by Kal Recovery and their KAL Recovery Cold Plunge Pod. 

If you are anything like me, you train hard, want to purse the best version of yourself, proper recovery as well as mental clarity is vital. 

Cold water therapy has been proven time and time again not only in studies, but by advocates worldwide, to rapidly help fight inflammation in the body, reduce fatigue and help reduce injuries. While also giving you the chance to clear your head of the multitude of thoughts and stresses we all carry. 

I have been loving the physical and mental benefits of a 3-5 minute cold plunge a few times a week 

In terms of the science, cold water exposure can increase your dopamine by up to 250%, which lasts for hours afterwards

My KAL pod helps me hit the reset button, canceling out all the noise that’s going on in my head. Plus, I’ve felt fully recovered to push on in my training too.

Today’s conversation is with Robert Twigger.

Robert is a true polymath who has written novels, poetry, has taught English abroad while learning martial arts, and has been on crazy expeditions all over the world.

One of Robert’s books "Being a Man in the Lousy Modern World” was originally published in 2002 and there continues to a crisis and evolution of mens’ place in the world more than 20 years later.

Expect to learn how modern technology can keep us as children for too long, the 4 factors which need to be in place for a man to feel more like a man, how to show courage, the actions Robert has personally taken in his life, and why discussing this is not an attack of females but a drive for a better and happier society overall.

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 early October 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 for the first 50 people to sign up.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Julie Gurner.

Dr Julie is an executive performance who has spent the past 14 years working with top executives, talent, and teams operating in fast-paced, competitive environments. 

She specialises in improving personal productivity, focus, and decision-making strategies, and unlocking the highest levels of success.

Expect to learn what drew Dr Julie to psychology, how this background and understanding has shaped her coaching services and skills, and how helpful being compared to Wendy Rhoades from the TV show Billions has been when it comes to explaining her role.

Beyond this, we lift the lid on what clients who operate at the top level want to work on, what common strengths they have, what areas they most want and need to develop, how Dr Julie has supported with both self limiting beliefs and on the flip side an out of control ego.

Lastly, I encourage you to take out a pen and paper or open your phone notes app to take down how to fight up front, have challenging conversations, and give feedback.

Today’s conversation is with Andrew Craig.

Andrew is an ex-investment banker, founder of plain English finance, and author of Amazon best-sellers, How to Own the World and Live on Less, Invest the Rest.

How to Own the World is one of the most impactful British personal finance book of all time and when I first hosted Andrew on the show back in November 2020, I couldn’t believe the positive impact the conversation had on so many listeners.

Expect to learn about why Andrew isn’t surprised by the current economic situation, the biggest challenges facing investors and companies, the fudging of inflation figures, why the politicians are either wilfully ignorant, incompetent or lying to you, why crypto might be a good investment but isn’t good for human progress, and why despite all this noise that the outlook for your future should be positive.

Andrew is an optimist but also a realist and we discuss the net positives of capitalism and the stock market, what role life sciences and biotech will play in a brighter and more positive future, as well as Andrew’s own experiences and advices of pursuing something he truly cares about and becoming self employed in recent years.

I wanted to make sure I marked this milestone of 200 episodes with something special and this conversation certainly achieves that.

This is not financial advice. The reason it’s not financial advice is because it’s not tailored to you. We discuss the principles of building wealth but if you want personalised advice, it’s worth speaking to a financial advisor. As with everything financial, please do your own research.

Today, the guest is me and I answer the Questions sent in by the listeners over Instagram and on my email list.

These include my thoughts on what I would have done differently to build this podcast, steps I took to progress my income in my corporate career, partying on boats in Majorca, my own use of AI, coping with my own high standards, and much more.

Closing in on episode 200 feels crazy, thank you for supporting what I’m building here.

We have over 500 5 star reviews between Apple Podcasts and Spotify, I don’t get weighted down massively in the metrics but they do help demonstrate progress and a reward for the reps and work that no one else sees. Please do navigate your thumb to the rating button and hit 5 stars.

The level up from that in terms of support is choosing your favourite episode from the archive and recommending it to a friend via WhatsApp or message, we really do grow one recommendation at a time and the more ears we have here the better conversations and guests I can achieve in future.
