Gary Lewin is the ex Arsenal & England Physiotherapist.

He has enjoyed one of the most successful careers in football. He was part of the Arsenal back room team that won two Football Leagues, 3 Premier Leagues, a European Cup Winners Cup & 5 FA Cups.

He also went to 5 world cups with England, 4 European Championships and spent time across a number of other sports before setting up his own private practise 'The Lewin Clinic' with his cousin Colin.

Here how Gary didn't make it as a professional footballer at Arsenal and a conversation with their Physio at the time led Gary down a path that would eventually define both his career and his life.

You can find The Lewin Clinic on all the social channels @thelewinclinic and their website is www.lewinclinic.co.uk

Today I speak to Nathan Kosky who is the Vice President of Global Partnerships at AEG - no not the appliance firm but the global firm Anschutz Entertainment Group that owns the likes of the O2, Staples Centre, the LA Galaxy and Coachella amongst other famous venues and iconic festivals.

Nathan started in media sales before being recruited by AEG to help then develop the O2 Arena. He had a stint away to be the commercial director at Coventry City Football Club before returning to AEG to find a company that had substantially grown during his time away.

Nathan discusses how deals get done at such a huge level and offers insight into the scale of the thinking behind these partnerships.

Finally, Nathan has recently launched a cricket podcast called Middle Please Umpire with Mark Wood & Miles Jupp and although it's only a few episodes in, it's had some really promising early numbers and I think he has a hit on his hands.

Nathan recommends the following books

Fibber in the heat by Miles Jupp.

Seavens Heaven by Ben Ryan

An Astronauts Guide to Life on Earth - by Chris Hadfield.

Nathan is challenging himself in 2021 to match his behaviours with his goals - he is reviewing every decision with his values in mind.

You can find Nathan on LinkedIn @Nathan Kosky - you can find Middle Please Umpire on iTunes & Spotify and on Instagram @middlepleaseumpire

There is always a lot of commentary about Price v Value in Financial Services and today I discuss some of the value we bring to clients.

Whether it's in peace of mind, organisation, structure, tax efficiency, investment returns, protection or all of the above there are lots of ways to measure the value we bring - however lots of people choose to focus on the costs we charge.

Hopefully this outlines some of the positive aspects of the work we do.
