If ever there was a podcast episode that will show you how determination and resilience is how we create success, then this is it!

Sadly that success was not to last but what a wonderful and insightful episode where you will hear what it really takes to push on and keep belief and faith in something for the right reasons.

Diane's story is so aligned with my own and resonated so much with my own journey. We had spirit and determination, but sadly that is not always enough.

We talk about...

🌟 Creating a product

🌟The challenges of selling big

🌟The fixed mindset of buyers

🌟Resilience and belief in business

🌟The grief of losing an business

🌟Mindset and how much it matters

Diane now runs her own coaching business, Time to Flourish, where she specialises in mindfulness coaching to master your thoughts, emotions & behaviour, to enable you to consciously create the life you want.

I hope you feel inspired and this episode leaves you knowing that whatever happens on the journey you can come out of the other side stronger and wiser and ready to build your success once again.

My human conversation this episode was so good. The fantastic Scott Leese is not only a sales legend, but he is also an absolute inspiration. His mindset and resilience gives us so much to learn from and I loved our chat.

Scott is one of the top startup sales leaders in the country. Through domestic and international consulting as a strategic advisor; he has trained an army of salespeople and sales leaders thousands strong. Leese puts his nearly two decades of sales and leadership experience to use as the CEO/Founder of both Scott Leese Consulting, LLC and SurfandSales.com.

Based in Austin, TX, Scott is a 3-time winner of the Top 25 Inside Sales Professionals by the American Association of Inside Sales, and a highly sought-after consultant, advisor, leader, and sales trainer.

He had a very difficult time in life where he went from a super fit every day guy to a man who was very close to death - literally. We talk candidly about what that was like and what life is like now because of that experience.

We also discuss...

🌟 Tequila

🌟 Sales

🌟 Surfing

🌟 And How these can all be beautifully connected!

If you ever want an episode to help you feel gratitude and to really test your own mindset and how you approach life and business then this one is a cracker.

Thank you Scott for an episode I really won't forget!

I am joined by Andy Neilson to chat about the buyer’s journey - quite literally.

Andy has been involved in procurement for much of his career - from the world of the potteries working with brands such as Royal Worcester, Denby and Spode to Halfords, Fitness First, and he held a global position at Clarks as Group Head/Vice President of Procurement Supply Chain & Logistics.

There isn’t much Andy doesn’t know about procurement.

So the sales woman meets the buyer!

But this wasn’t a showdown and the normal battle we have been used to all of these years. This was a human conversation about how buyer’s can actually teach sales people a huge amount about building relationships.

You can imagine that I loved it!

Andy now runs his own business working as a consultant to show businesses not only all of the amazing knowledge he has in procurement, but working with sales people to create cost savings through collaboration whilst building long term relationships.

We talk about…

Aspiring to be a fighter pilot

His journey in procurement from the potteries to Global VP

Human relationships in business

The devastating impact of his breakdown

His ongoing journey with mental wellness

How sales and procurement can be a match made in heaven…

…who knew!

It's not often you get to have a conversation with a world record holder, but there is a whole lot more to Kevin Gaskell that makes him a truly inspirational person.

As CEO of successful world class brands - Porsche, Lamborghini, and BMW , and as a serial entrepreneur who has built international companies from ‘a good idea’, Kevin has created over £3 billion in shareholder value – and yet has still found time to climb the world’s highest mountains, walk to both North and South Poles, compete in international sport and play in a rock band - and did I mention his world record from rowing across the Atlantic.

On this epic achievement he said, “We have crossed the ocean and we all came out of it still friends. That was our main aim. I am very privileged to have been part of that. I feel incredibly fortunate”.

Kevin and his Atlantic rowing team are now World Record holders for the fastest row across the Atlantic in a 5 man boat. The epic journey, which took 35 days 19 hours and 50 minutes, raised more than £100k for the Plastic Soup Foundation, a charity that fights against the build up of plastics in oceans.

In this podcast we get to know more about the experiences he has had and he leaves us in no doubt that if we 'Dare to dream' we can do anything. As he says ordinary people can do extraordinary things.

His book is 'Inspired Leadership and you can get it here - https://amzn.to/3h3Mozc

Well worth a listen if you ever thought you can't do something.

Grab a couple of cuppas for this one - it's well worth the listen!
