CamBro Conversations

Today’s conversation is with Katie Gatti, also known as Money with Katie.

Katie runs the blog Money with Katie and has been a personal finance consultant since 2018, working with hundreds of people one-on-one from all different financial backgrounds.

She's on a mission to teach everyone the simple math behind financial independence – and that mastering your money can be fun.

Expect to leader when and how Katie first discovered financial independence, her role models, and the early actions she took.

We explore how do you find balance in your long term financial plan, including considerations about saving versus investing, your time, relationships, and what you do for work to earn your money.

Katie shares her thoughts on investing in large cap funds like the S&P500, how lifestyle creep can derail your financial plans, and we discuss what on earth has been going on in the market recently as well as the rising inflation rate.

This episode was so much fun to record and Katie is a real master of her craft with an incredible blog and podcast.

As ever with conversations like this, it should not be construed as financial advice for your personal circumstances.

Today’s conversation is with Shane O’Mara, Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin and author of “In Praise of Walking”.

His best-selling book 'In Praise of Walking: A New Scientific Exploration' was chosen by the editors at Amazon as one of the best science books of 2020.

Expect to learn about how humans are unique in how we walk and the ancestral history of walking.

Shane explains how society and our lives have changed with the reduction in movement and move away from walking.

Shane’s research has demonstrated the physical benefits of walking and how it impacts our health and longevity. Many of you will already have a steps habit, but this is compelling for increasing this further and doubling down.

I have long spoken about the benefits of walking and less formal exercise to improve body composition and calorie expenditure, but I was most excited to talk bout how walking can improve our brains.

Shane shares some incredible insight on creativity, memory, mental health and more.

The sedentary lifestyle that the western world is set up to maintain is a real challenge. Not only will you learn how we can attempt to fix this as a society, you will get actionable advice on how to take personal responsibility.

Today’s conversation is with Kezia Noble, the leading dating and attraction coach for men.

Kezia has helped over 1 million men since 2006 to overcome the challenges that they experience when meeting and attracting women.

Expect to learn about the common mistakes that men make, how men can have better conversations with women, how to compliment effectively and escalate a conversation, and why being a nice guy is not the best approach.

As part of this conversation, I ask about the differences between Kezia’s approach and the traditional pick up artist scene as well as Kezia’s thoughts on dating apps.

Two big questions we dive into include whether women still want an alpha male and how the pandemic has impacted the dating market.

Today’s conversation is with Darren Lee, host of the Kick Off Sessions Podcast and Operations Manager in Wealth and Trading at Revolut.

Darren’s made significant career moves within the corporate world after struggling to find fulfilment in one of his first roles after graduating. I ask about the process behind this and how it led to Darren starting his podcast Kick Off Sessions, which is now the largest Careers podcast in Ireland.

Expect to learn about Darren’s own career journey and the stand out lessons about career development from over 80 episodes on Kick Off Sessions.

There is lots to this conversation including fulfilment, mindset, self development sources, and career mentoring.

Given Darren juggles his full time career and creating content as well as a passion for bodybuilding, I ask about time management but more importantly energy management to prevent burnout. This was really interesting for us both to talk about using our mental bandwidth.

Lastly, Darren shares his experience with hair loss and the actions he taken to reverse this. This includes things he has stopped doing as well as started.

Today’s conversation is with Simon Thomas, former Blue Peter presenter, Sports broadcaster, and author.

Expect to learn about the experiences that shaped Simon as a young man and the steps and years on career development that took place before his break on Blue Peter in 1998.

This is a story of perseverance and belief, and within this I understand more about Simon’s Christian faith and the role this played in his life.

Simon’s next step was into the world of sports broadcasting and led to his dream of presenting live Premier League Football.

As part of this discussion, Simon opens up about the anxiety that started to cause him problems in his second season presenting the Premier League and what he now understands about himself and life to support him working in this high pressure environment in the future.

During the peak of Simon’s challenges with anxiety, his wife Gemma tragically passed away in autumn 2017 and he bravely shares this period of his life during our conversation.

I have tremendous admiration for Simon and his ability to speak articulately about tragedy. Importantly, he discusses the acts of kindness, support and positive events that can come from our lowest moments and biggest heartbreaks.

Today’s conversation is with Lex Griffin, YouTuber and Entrepreneur.

Expect to learn about Lex’s life and fitness background before the cameras were on for YouTube including his time at University and his fighting career.

Beyond this, we explore his own influences during the early days of his content creation and of course learn about what it was like during the golden era of fitness Youtube with the likes of Matt Ogus, Chris Lavado and Jeff Said.

This links in with being the first ever Gymshark athlete and how it has been to grow alongside the brand.

On a personal level, Lex and I met at a shoot with Slater Menswear for Inside Mens Minds which you may have heard on episode 95 of this podcast. Getting to know each other so well in that open, vulnerable environment meant this conversation was also wide open.

We discuss energy, being present, the up and down life of a content creator, dealing with loss, and even coming through a divorce and break up.

Lex and I were fired up during this chat and there was such a flow at times that we do go into some fun tangents and side tracks that I hope you also enjoy.
