Welcome back to my Runpreneur diary! In today’s episode, I dive into a problem every endurance runner dreads—blistering feet. As someone who runs barefoot-style every day and has battled blisters throughout countless marathons, I know how critical preventive measures can be. I’m sharing my honest review of the new Profoot gel sheets, explaining why I chose to try them, how they’ve performed so far, and the real impact blister prevention has had on my running and recovery. I’ll also discuss the variables that contribute to foot issues, from shoe fit to running style, and why testing your solutions before race day is absolutely essential. Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, there’s value in the lessons I’ve learnt—sometimes the hard way—about keeping your feet healthy, your mindset strong, and your racing goals on track. Tune in for practical advice, personal anecdotes, and a peek behind the scenes as I prepare for the Edinburgh Marathon.

Don’t forget: this podcast and my daily running journey are all about raising funds to save children’s lives. The more listeners we reach, the greater the impact we can make together. Thanks for joining me—let’s keep running towards positive change!

In this heartfelt episode, I open up about the challenges and joys of parenting teenage boys—particularly from a father’s perspective. As a dad to a 14-year-old son (and more soon to be teenagers!), I reflect on my own struggles with balancing tough love, encouragement, and showing enough praise. I share a recent honest conversation with my son about pressure, fear of failure, and the importance of letting your kids set their own standards. If you’re a parent navigating the emotional ups and downs of the teenage years, I hope my personal experiences and reflections resonate with you.

I also talk about why it’s so important to show our sons how proud we are of them—and how I’m working to change my approach by being more compassionate and supportive. As always, my daily vlog is part of the mission to save children’s lives by pursuing my barefoot ultra marathon run challenge. Thanks for tuning in and being part of the journey!

In today's episode, I dive into the fascinating world of AI agents and how they're bringing a whole new level of automation and intelligence to our businesses and personal lives. Having spent years using large language models like ChatGPT and Gemini, I'm now taking my first steps into utilising AI agents – and I want to take you along for the ride. From streamlining processes like bookkeeping to entirely replacing certain job roles, AI agents are not just about automating single tasks but filling complete roles with ongoing learning and adaptation. It's both an exciting and slightly daunting leap, but those who embrace it now stand to benefit massively.

Join me as I share my early experiences, lessons learnt, and thoughts on how AI agents might reshape the job market and productivity as we know it. If you're interested in AI, automation, or just future-proofing your workflow, this one's for you!

With just a week to go until the Edinburgh Marathon, I reflect on past mistakes and share the game plan for my upcoming race. In this episode, I dive deep into why my recent marathon performances have been underwhelming and how I plan to avoid those pitfalls this time around.

In today's episode, I open up about the realities of receiving criticism and negative feedback—especially in the public eye. As someone who puts myself out there daily, whether for my philanthropic work or my mission to save children's lives through my barefoot ultramarathon run vlogging, dealing with negative reviews is part of the journey. I'll share how I genuinely feel when criticism comes my way (spoiler: it does affect me!), the mindset shifts I've found helpful, and the practical steps I take to separate valuable feedback from mindless negativity. If you've ever struggled with criticism, or you're keen to learn how to turn negative energy into opportunities for self-improvement, this honest reflection is for you. Stay positive, stay happy, and thanks for being part of the mission!

Welcome back to my daily diary on day 1810 of the Runpreneur journey! In today's episode, I dig deep into the concept of "less is more" and how sometimes stepping back can produce greater results. This idea, inspired by Pareto’s Law (the 80/20 rule), is something I’m living through with my latest business, Operations Director. While I’m passionate about solving real problems for entrepreneurs, I’ve found myself slipping into roles – like coaching and endless sales calls – that just don’t energise me.

I share my realisation about shifting focus from labour-intensive consulting back to building scalable systems – so I can maximise impact without burning myself out. I also reflect on how my long-standing property business continues to be the most profitable with the least effort, and what that teaches me about where to invest my time and energy. If you’re feeling stretched or wondering if your effort is in the right place, this episode is for you. Tune in for honest insights on aligning work with passion, boosting productivity through efficiency, and making time count for the biggest returns.

Don’t forget – every listen and share helps me raise more for children’s charities through my barefoot ultramarathon run vlogs. Stay positive. Stay happy. And keep striving for more by doing less.

Today I’m diving into a topic that stirs up plenty of debate in the fitness world—should you stretch before and after exercise, or is it overrated? After running 1,809 consecutive days (barefoot, no less!), and currently feeling every bit of my 43 years, I’m sharing my honest experiences, the muscle stiffness I’ve battled, and my evolving views around stretching versus dynamic warm-ups and cool-downs. I discuss how my routine (or lack thereof) may be impacting my recovery, especially after throwing a few rounds of golf into the mix. If you’ve ever questioned the value of stretching, or wondered how to stay mobile as you rack up those miles, you’ll want to hear my thoughts and what I plan to experiment with next. As always, this journey is about learning, testing, and hopefully inspiring you to figure out what works best for your own body. Thanks for being part of my mission—not just to keep moving, but to save children’s lives, one run at a time.

In today’s episode, I dive into the transformative power of retreats and why everyone—regardless of budget or lifestyle—should regularly step away from daily routines. Drawing on my own recent experience at Desert Springs Resort in Andalusia, Spain, I share personal insights on how a retreat can help you reset, gain clarity, and return to life’s challenges with renewed purpose. I also reveal my take on a brilliantly subtle marketing funnel used by the resort that seamlessly turns visitors into happy homeowners—all while making you feel like a winner. Whether you’re an entrepreneur, professional, or just feeling bogged down by everyday life, I unpack how simple retreats can make a tangible difference for your mind, body, and soul.

In today’s episode, I reflect on a tense travel experience that powerfully reminded me why it's so important to remain respectful—especially towards airline staff. Join me as I recount what happened on a delayed Ryanair flight to Spain, where a single unruly passenger caused chaos and made life difficult for everyone on board. I talk about how disrespect can escalate situations and affect not just those involved, but a whole plane full of holidaymakers. Plus, I share my thoughts on personal responsibility, the importance of treating people with kindness, and the collective role we all play in ensuring safe and enjoyable journeys. Let’s all strive to treat others as we’d like to be treated—no matter where we are!
