  • All Things Ellie: A Special Conversation Hosted by James Burtt
    In this week's episode, Ellie is joined by a very special co-host, James Burtt, known as "The Podcast King", and host of the successful Building The Brand podcast, to talk about Ellie herself!
    It's time for Ellie to take the hot seat in this week's edition, as she shares the journey of her incredible career. As Ellie says in the show, "It doesn't matter what you do in life, people need to know who you are". Today, it's time to find out who Ellie really is...
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    It's not about what you know or who you know. It's all about who knows you. Creating a presence everywhere makes it possible for the world to get to know who they're dealing with.
    When we become able to visualise the potential of our lives, and surround ourselves with the people who inspire us, we realise that anything is possible.
    People often say that they will do whatever it takes to become successful, but generally this comes with caveats. If you want success, you have to go all in.
    Those who try to influence us are often setting examples that most of us cannot follow. Failing to live up to these ideals can derail us or cause negative thoughts. Remember to do the best you can and follow the passions that lights your own fire.
    BEST MOMENTS
    'It doesn't matter what you do in life, people need to know who you are'
    'When you open your eyes to what's possible, it's like brainwashing yourself but in a very positive way'
    'Money is just one measure of success'
    'My passion and purpose is about mind-set - the journey'

  • Making Situations Work For You - with Gemma Sharples
    This week, Ellie talks to property powerhouse, Gemma Sharples, an investor with a portfolio worth over eight millions pounds, as well as one of the country's leading trainers, mentors and coaches.
    Gemma joins Ellie to discuss the value of overcoming obstacles, how gender discrimination can be overcome by a change of perception and focus, and why mindset is the true key to success.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    Coming from tough beginnings can seem insurmountable at the time. But all challenges are lessons. They serve to harden our resolve and provide solutions later.
    While there is a perception that women are discriminated against in business, we make what we want of any given situation.
    There is a perception that anyone with wealth should simply distribute to people without, but this is flawed. Wealth is accumulated through hard work. Even if money was removed from those who have it, they have the will and the skills to rebuild their fortunes.
    Success is all a question of mindset. We cannot push hard and find success without developing the mental ability to do so. Those with the success mindset know that all challenges are opportunities.
    BEST MOMENTS
    'A situation only has the meaning that you choose to attach to it'
    'Behind every good man there's an even better woman'
    'Being in tough situations has given me the chance to be put in leader situations. It's one of my assets, really'
    'If you're going to be successful and push forward in life, then you have to have the right mindset for that'

  • Playing The Field - with Ryan Babel
    This week, Ellie talks to Ryan Babel, Dutch professional football player most famed for his stint at Liverpool FC, Ajax and Fulham, and now for Galatasaray. On top of this incredible career, Ryan is also a producer, rapper and property entrepreneur.
    In this episode, Ellie talks to Ryan about the ways in which he balances his many pursuits in life, his beginnings and journey throughout his incredible career, and why teamwork and collaboration are the key to unlocking your true potential.
    KEY TAKEAWAYS
    The great coaches and leaders are the ones who see something in a person, and encourage them to follow their passions. Coaching is the art of bringing out the best in someone.
    Playing as part of a team gives us a new perspective. Sometimes we can be over optimistic about our abilities, but playing as part of a strong team reminds us that we need to push harder and work more collaboratively.
    Setbacks are lessons in how to overcome challenge. When we find ourselves knocked down, we can either take the loss, or learn how to overcome similar obstacles in the future. The great ones are the ones who grow stronger through adversity.
    Ryan has poured his creative energies into creating a whole new type of autobiography - a concept album designed to tell his story through music.
    BEST MOMENTS
    'I always believed that I had something...'
    'I was young and by myself. I had to adapt to that fast life'
    'I had to learn to be less relevant'
    'It will be my truth and how I lived my journey throughout my career'

  • Toni Gargan, Public Speaking to Success
    This lady is an absolute powerhouse!
    Not only has she built a multimillion-pound property portfolio from scratch, she is also an esteemed public speaker, World Record holder and a hugely successful business coach and trainer, all of which she has built up whilst raising a young family.
    Unsatisfied with her corporate life as HR Manager, Toni knew deep down that she was capable of more. In the early days there were lots of sacrifices, it hasn’t all been plain sailing but listening to the impact that she is having on her children’s mindset is nothing short of inspirational. That is true success!
    I thoroughly enjoyed recording this interview, much like myself, Toni is a straight-talking northern lass with no time for BS. Her values shine through in everything that she says and I hope that you all enjoy it as much as I did.

  • Mark Wright, Apprentice Winner to Multi-Millionaire
    When Mark entered the Apprentice in 2014, he was there for one reason and one reason only... to win!
    His relentless commitment to success ensured that he won the £250k investment and, more importantly, became business partners with Lord Sugar himself. That’s when the real work began!
    People say they are willing to do whatever it takes but very few are willing to walk the walk. Starting in business was a baptism of fire for Mark, because of his exposure to the limelight he had a target on his back from the start and it’s fair to say he had more challenges in his first year than most of us experience in a lifetime.
    He has gone on to create multiple 7 figure businesses and still works closely with Lord Sugar where so many before him have failed. Anyone who knows Mark will testify that his trajectory is only going in one direction, his passion is second to none.
    If you’re easily offended you might want to give this one a wide berth but if you want to know what it REALLY takes to succeed without the BS then this episode is unmissable!
    Enjoy.

  • Gerald Ratner, The Master of Reinvention
    The MASTER of reinvention.
    From inheriting a struggling chain of jewellery stores, Gerald Ratner turned the family business into a prominent £1BM global jewellery empire within less than a decade before it all came crashing down.
    From the dizzy heights of success, Gerald went on to become the poster boy for FAILURE all because of an ill-fated joke and what can only be described as a media witch hunt after his infamous speech at the Royal Albert Hall.
    His story is powerful. What happened to Gerald could happen to any of us HOWEVER a situation only has the meaning that we choose to attach to it and hearing how he has overcome adversity and turned his pain into power is truly inspirational.
