Join me, Kevin Brittain, as I share all about our recent family break to the beautiful city of Edinburgh, Scotland! In this episode, I reflect on the joys and challenges of balancing family time as the kids grow older, and how a trip to Edinburgh provided the perfect backdrop for reconnecting. From tackling the Edinburgh Marathon and hiking up Arthur’s Seat, to exploring Stirling Castle, Wallace’s Monument, and the stunning scenery of Loch Lomond, I take you through everything we discovered as a family (with a bit of haggis and Scottish fudge along the way!).

Whether you’re planning a family getaway or curious about what Edinburgh has to offer for all ages, I hope you find these insights helpful. There’s truly something for everyone—kids, teens, grandparents and parents alike. Plus, I’ll touch on the importance of making time for family adventures, even as life and social circles get busier.

In today’s episode, I share my firsthand experience of working with my new executive assistant and the immediate, game-changing impact it’s having on my daily life as an entrepreneur. If you’re feeling overwhelmed with endless tasks and constant busyness—whether it’s work, personal commitments, or both—this episode is for you.

I dive into practical insights inspired by Dan Martell’s book "Buy Back Your Time," and explain why delegating even 80% of your tasks is a total win. I’ll walk you through the systems I’m putting in place, like handing over calendar and inbox management, as well as automating task delegation through voice commands.

I also reflect on the massive benefits of making that first leap—whether promoting internally, as I did, or hiring externally. You’ll hear why it’s well worth it to trust someone else with key responsibilities, and how that frees you to focus on your most valuable work.

If you’re ready to take back your time and focus on what truly moves the needle, join me as I kick off this next phase of my entrepreneurial journey!

In this episode, I open up about one of the most challenging decisions I’ve had to make as a business owner—letting go or significantly reducing the hours of valued team members. If you struggle with decision-making in your business or leadership role, this is for you.

I discuss my thought process, the systems I’ve developed, and the realities of balancing compassion with commercial responsibility. Join me to learn how real-time data can be the backbone you need to make tough but necessary choices and keep your business healthy.

In this episode, I share my recent experience of being on holiday with my family in Scotland—only to have work-related emails and messages disrupt my well-earned break. If you’ve ever struggled to truly switch off during your time away, this one’s for you. I delve into the game-changing role of an executive assistant, the difference they make in protecting your time and mental space, and how having a true “gatekeeper” allows you to focus on what really matters—whether that’s your business, family, or simply enjoying your time off. I’m currently transitioning between executive assistants myself, and I reflect on the pain points of not having that crucial support. Tune in for my honest take on why this role is absolutely essential for entrepreneurs and leaders looking to eliminate distractions and take back their time.
