In this entertaining podcast, Desmond is in conversation with Jamie Willsdon founder of the “Futures Group” who began with one division – ‘Future Lights & Electrical’ and have now grown to include divisions that mean they can offer a complete and comprehensive service to any block management company.
Jamie and Desmond discuss the vision for the Futures group and how creating a strong brand means every division needs to uphold a standard for the others. We all prefer to work with contractors we trust and this is a fascinating conversation where you can hear both sides – that of a contractor and of a block manager. They both value getting it right for their clients and agree that for every one good communication is vital, listen in and enjoy their lively discussion.

ABOUT THE HOST
I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my
exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got
inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls,
and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you
something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I
hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big
words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today,
and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my
career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one
giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one
life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF
and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!

Desmond was struck by a Will Smith quote recently, in which he discussed his and his partner, Jada Pinkett Smith’s happiness. In this quote, Smith stated that instead of trying to make his partner happy, they should each instead focus upon their own happiness and present that to the other, thereby breeding this mutual happiness.
In this episode, Desmond is philosophically discussing happiness as a concept. What exactly is it and where does it originate? Is it merely a concept? And how can we translate these ideas to business?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
‘My whole goal is to create something that is of value’
‘You should be happy and you should present that to the other person’
‘We feel like it’s our job to make them happy, and we might find that difficult’
‘I’m spitballing it out loud. There’s no magic wand here'

Many of us have attended events in order to learn from the experience of others. We arrive and watch as those with influential names and aspirational stories ascend to the stage and recount their experiences in ways that drive us to be better.
But have you ever wondered how those people took that step to becoming public speakers? What caused them to make that decision? And how can we take those steps ourselves?
In this episode, Desmond discusses how speaking from a stage can help both you and your business to grow in all kinds of interesting and empowering ways.

One of the key lessons learned from Daniel Priestley’s Key Person Of Influence is that people buy what they want, not what they need. It’s a maxim that proves true all over the world, but why is that? What causes this phenomenon? And more importantly, how can business owners harness this phenomenon to drive sales and marketing?
In this episode, Desmond discusses Priestley’s lesson, and tells you why you should be applying it now.

BEST MOMENTS
‘People buy what they want, not what they need’
’They don’t get it. They’re pitching the things I need’
’The worst part about it is that every customer might have different wants’
‘Amazingly… is that a word?'

Desmond is reflecting on the personas and masks we put on to face the world and how we present to our colleagues, customers and bosses.
It’s all about what’s expected of us and what we expect of ourselves but the most valuable thing anyone has to offer to the world is their true and authentic self.
Desmond shares his own journey from the persona he took on at the start of his working career to the realisation and value he’s found in being himself and how this is of true value to others. Listen in and you’ll also end up realising that being yourself is the most important thing.
