Today’s conversation is with Jorge Perez. 

Jorge is an author, publicist, and the mind behind The Shut the Fuck Up Method*.

The catalyst for Jorge writing his book was losing both of his parents to cancer, just three years apart. That tragedy set him on a path to explore how genetics shape our lives, but also how much power we hold through the way we choose to live.

In this episode, Jorge shares how he bridges science and spirituality, and why being your own best publicist is essential in life and business. We explore his 10 commandments for living with integrity, presence, and clarity. Each one a punchy, actionable mantra you can immediately implement.

Some of the topics we cover include:

• The 10 commandments of The Shut the Fck Up Method*
• Why we should stop “trauma dumping” and instead share with intention
• How to master detaching from drama and rewiring your brain for abundance
• The importance of remembering life is finite – and how to live accordingly
• Why listening is one of the most powerful skills in conversation and relationships
• The law of retraction, and why sometimes success is about what we stop attracting
• Balancing living your truth without judging others who aren’t there yet

Jorge also shares practical advice for softening your narrative, keeping your integrity, and remembering that millions of people would love to be in your shoes.

If you’ve ever struggled with oversharing, drama, or simply wanting to live with more focus and intention, this episode will give you the tools and mindset shifts to do just that.

Today’s conversation is with Ed Latimore. A heavyweight boxer, physics graduate, author, and returning guest to the podcast.

His latest book Hard Lessons from the Hurt Business, is a brutally honest reflection on the tough lessons life and boxing have taught him. In this conversation, Ed shares why a difficult childhood gave him the mindset to endure, how men can build identity without toxic status games, and what he’s learning now as a father.

This is a raw, reflective, and powerful conversation about masculinity, hardship, and redemption.

Expect to learn:

• Why Ed believes pain builds perspective and emotional resilience
• The hardest lessons from boxing and how they shaped him
• How Stoicism helped him avoid becoming a victim of his environment
• Why modern masculinity needs to mature and what’s wrong with red pill culture

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

It’s a special episode reflecting on the biggest lessons and insights from making over £1.7M ex VAT of sales during the last financial year between April 2024 and April 2025.

I’ve worked full time in sales now for over a decade after graduating from University in June 2014. Along the way I’ve worked in B2B and B2C sales as well as building my personal brand, social media channels, and this wonderful podcast.

This episode has 12 of the lessons I’ve learnt on how to successfully make sales and many of these will be immediately actionable for you to implement whether you run your own business, work in sales role in an organisation, or just know sales matters to your success and you want to work on it.

I have many other big lessons, insights and templates I’ve saved and written into my presentations and trainings I’ve delivered to individuals and sales teams over the last 18 months as an adhoc sales consultant.

However I am now going to offer this far more broadly and am building out the best video content for my sales masterclass. If you want to learn more on how we can work together to improve your sales skills and results then DM me ’SALES MASTERCLASS’ on LinkedIn or Instagram.

If you want more lessons like this Episode 257 recaps my 13 lessons from £1.1M ex VAT last year.
