So Driven with Serena Dodd

Meet Rebecca Myers: 13 years ex Creative Agency Account Director, 7 years marketing recruitment consultancy owner, 2 years fitness company owner, mother of 2 boys, one of which has some challenging mental disabilities, and wife to a busy TV producer who’s team is spread all over the world. Oh yeah, and they have just finished building their own house from scratch! Some say she is crazy, some say she is super woman, but she thinks she is just a girl with lots of ideas and wants to make the most of the life she has been given!

​

Work In Your Work Out (or WIYWO for short) was born from a need that was not being fulfilled in the corporate world. Time poor, office based professionals (like Rebecca once was) who want to look after their health but needed something convenient to assist with this. This is what WIYWO does: bringing fitness, health and wellness to the workplace. Even if, at the moment, this is whilst you are working from home.

James has had a highly acclaimed career as a professional 1500m athlete. With highlights including 4th Place finish at the 2004 World Indoor Championships, a finalist in the European Championships and he has represented Wales in two Commonwealth Games; Melbourne and Delhi. In 2014, James became a multiple World Masters Champion and is still regularly used as a major events and broadcasting commentator for the likes of The International Paralympic Committee, The London Marathon, The Great Run group and Eurosport.

The knowledge gained from his international career, has allowed James to establish an increasingly successful coaching group consisting of both current and alumni students. This group has gained recognition both nationally and internationally. Professionally, James is the performance director for Athletics at Cardiff Met, a senior lecturer and studying a doctorate in sport coaching.

Faye Jacobs has a professional background in Digital Marketing working with some of the biggest super brands in the world, after having her first child she faced the very real cross roads so many career women face - was she to become a stay at home mum and say good bye to her career or was she to keep climbing the corporate ladder only seeing her children at weekends? She chose to give up her career but refused to believe she couldn't have it all...

Today, she is a full time parent to her 3 young children and in her spare time runs a multi-million pound global online business in the health and wellness industry, she believes the key attribute of leadership is to inspire others to follow by always going first. With a growing team of over 1000 ambitious men and women looking for a better work life balance, I'd say she has it nailed.

Dave Moreno is the BADASS BUSINESS COACH. If you own a business and are looking to grow it by six figures or more he is the man you call. He is a serial entrepreneur himself having grown multiple six and seven figure business's himself before entering the coaching world. His unique "Organized Success" approach delivers accountability, structure, and focus which happen to be the three things every entrepreneur needs for next level success.

In this episode I talk to Luke about his time as (what he calls) a journeyman pro cricketer, we discuss his absolute obsession with the need to succeed, leading his team in Derbyshire as their new captain and his battle with extremes working hard to be the best and playing hard with excessive drinking which ultimately landed him in the priory.

Now a business owner and sports agent of Activate Management he talks about his passion to help young stars, not only succeed but works to give them a support platform before they spiral into the same type of experiences he faced.

​

In November 2019, Luke released his raw and very honest autobiography ‘Back from the Edge’. I high recommend it for anyone finding themselves suffering in silence, you are not alone, there is a way out.
