My guest in this week's episode is Tim Conley who is a speaker, trainer and a business coach who works with B2B service entrepreneurs.

We talk about how

- successful marketing does not require good ethics. 

- nobody truly has vision.

- our actions do not align with our beliefs.

- we're afraid to define big goals.

- successful leaders often ignore external opinion

- we say we want the truth but not really!

In this first volume I had 11 excellent guests from the fields of entertainment, business & marketing and even neuroscience who shared valuable stories and insight..

For those of you who are new to this podcast, who haven’t listened to many episodes before this is a good one to start with.

I’ve picked out some of the best bits from each guest .. and put them all together here for you in a highlights compilation.

Antti-Jussi Annila is a film director whose first film Jade Warrior (2006) had the highest budget ever for a first time director in Finland.

Here, AJ talks about how he handled that pressure… while managing a very ambitious shoot in China.

We also talk about lessons he learned during his filmmaking career and how they’ve helped him become a better creative leader.

Nikki is an experienced TV Presenter and Technology Communicator.

We had a really cool chat about the importance of communicating, listening, freelance work, teaching our kids that it's ok to make a mess once in a while... and of course my favourite thing to talk about: why humans can't do the things we know we should do.

Dima Syrotkin founder and CEO of Finnish startup Panda-Training recently read 33 books in 7 months. I asked him to share some of the things he learned from some of the best books: The Listening Society, Homo Deus, Atomic Habits and Poor Charlie's Almanac.

He who does not read has no advantage over he who cannot read.

G'day! In this episode, I speak to Debbie Steer who is an Animation Producer based in Sydney, Australia. We became friends 13 years ago as struggling filmmakers in Manchester, England.

Debbie shares her story of making the decision to move to Australia and then finding herself in Australia three weeks later! My favourite part is when she shares her mindset towards decision making.

My guest today is David Blinov. He’s the Founder of The F Company - a Growth Marketing agency based here in Helsinki.

It was really fun to talk to him- he’s a marketing nerd just like me, but unlike me he started at the age of 15! We talk about the importance of failing well, the importance of experimenting, the value of mentors. And we debate whether humans know everything we need to know by the age of 23.
