Today we are back in the air and we're traveling to Canada, in fact, heading to a somewhat famous location, Nova Scotia. And we are visiting our guest, Ms. Ashton Rodenhiser, who is a local resident in this wonderful part of the world.

Ms. Rodenhiser is a graphic recorder and visual strategist who is passionate about lifting the creative spirit in everyone that she meets. She's followed her passion for helping people communicate their ideas and combine that with creativity by founding Mind's Eye Creative Consulting, you'll often find her with markers in hand as she is helping bring ideas to life through graphic recording and graphic facilitation practices.

Ashton has worked with diverse groups from nonprofits to Fortune 500 companies, and it may appear as if she is a silent illustrator in the room, while in fact, she is helping to break down complex concepts into an easily understandable visual language for better learning retention.

Over the years, Ashton has brought over 2,500 presentations and conversations to life, either on paper or digitally. She is now on a mission to teach students how to use doodling and drawing as their best thinking and learning tools.

During our conversation, you'll hear Ashton explaining the terms and speaking about Graphic Facilitating. This is something I wish I had the patience for as it is such a powerful tool to have at your disposal. Have you ever had the opportunity to sit in a meeting, workshop, or training and be mesmerized by the art unfolding before your eyes? Truly incredible and as leaders this is something that we all have the capacity to learn and embody.

If you want to stand out, create impact, and leave a lasting impression then learn this skill.

Today we are back in the United States, Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina, visiting Mr. Dave Goodall.

Dave helps Entrepreneur-minded leaders align their energy, skills, and business processes to realize their dreams. Growing up in his grandfather's countertop manufacturing plant, he fell in love with the idea of business at a young age.

Gifted with Dyslexia, he realized that he could see things others struggle to see. His electrical engineering and neuro-linguistic programming education allows Dave to bring an analytical approach to solving your problems. He spent over 20 years developing tech teams and delivering product support and change management integration solutions in the IT industry.

Through his IT experience, Dave realized that there were two tracks of challenges in business – the logistical and the human. With a proven track record of delivering on strategy and knowing that everything starts with your team, Dave sought to understand workflow's human element better. Synthesizing his understanding of NLP-based mental and emotional programming and human interaction into his well-established consulting practice has taken his business to the next level.

As I commented to Dave, he's like the business doctor – and focus appears to be two-fold - on one side he helps the owner to evolve, and on the other, he gets the business processes and systems in place.

Hello and welcome to the ET Project. I'm your host, Wayne Brown, and as usual, we're delighted to be delivering this podcast for executive talent all over the world whom we're affectionately referring to as Team ET.

Today, I'm flying solo – Why? Well, that normally means one thing. It indicates that we are going to be wrapping up our quarter and in this case Qtr. 3 for 2023.

And therefore, today I'm not traveling, instead, I'm staying put and sitting here in my Shanghai office.

WOW, what a quarter it has been. I'm not sure about you, but to me the weeks and months this year seem to be accelerating just that little bit faster than usual. Maybe it's just an age thing!!!

Alright so, let's take a look at our guest lineup for this quarter and as we have done in the past we'll chunk this into 4 blocks of 3 weeks at a time.

Unlike in the past, however, this time we'll be incorporating the promotion videos that we did with each guest to save you from listening to my wonderfully monotone voice the entire time.

Amen to that!

Today we are off to an undisclosed beautiful countryside in Italy and speaking with the founder and CEO of "The Passion MBA", a global coaching company.

Mr. Mustafa Ammar is a life coach who has coached hundreds of professionals around the world to find their dream careers and build their dream businesses, by applying his coaching methodology "The Passion Blueprint".

Mustafa is also the author of "Time to Move On" & the upcoming book "The Passion Project".

He has truly managed to cram several very diverse careers into one single life.

Starting as a pharmacist out of a passion for chemistry, and then switching to become an international diplomat out of a passion for building bridges among different cultures and traveling the world.

This role led him to places such as Beijing China, Malawi, and the United Nations HQ.

Switching career and industry once again to this time work as an investment specialist at The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, where he was in charge of business development and bringing investments to various regions including Africa, The Middle East & Latin America.

Mustafa successfully brought in more than $1.1 billion worth of finance in infrastructure projects in the Middle East alone during his tenure.

Somehow along the way, Mustafa has obtained his MBA, together with his master's degree in diplomatic studies & negotiations and BA in pharmaceutical sciences.

During our conversation, we touched on some of the mentors Mustafa continues to work with. People such as Jack Canfield, the author of Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and Dr. Ivan Misner, founder of the world's largest networking and referral organization – BNI.

I found Mustafa to be a true serial entrepreneur with an insatiable appetite for growth – his own and his clients.

Hello, I'm your host Wayne Brown and welcome to the ET PROJECT. We're delighted to be delivering this podcast for executive talent all over the world whom we're affectionately referring to as TEAM ET.

Today we're staying put in the UK and visiting the coastal city of Southend-on-Sea, located in Essex, and we're meeting up with our addiction counselor Luke Worsfold.

It's an important episode as Luke and I unpack the challenges faced by what research is suggesting is affecting a growing number of people – and that is substance abuse and drug addiction.

When you hear Luke's own story you will learn that he speaks from first-hand experience, with his mother struggling with addiction throughout her life. She was in and out of rehab and prison, and her drinking progressively worsened until she passed when Luke was 10.

Luke himself embraced drugs during secondary school as a means to find solace and escape.

Becoming an entrepreneur and forming his own company, he soon found that the stress and pressure of running the business fueled his addiction, and his life quickly spiraled out of control.

Living in denial, it took a brutally honest comment from his mentor and friend that forced him to confront his addiction and seek help.

Through various avenues, including AA meetings, therapy, and personal development seminars, he ultimately discovered addiction therapy. This proved instrumental in addressing the root causes of his addiction, helped him to feel his emotions again, and raised his awareness, thus helping him to recover.

Today, as a successful entrepreneur and specialized counselor, it's Luke's mission to help others to win their battles with addiction. His journey taught him the importance of self-awareness, emotional healing, and the power of choice, and he strives to inspire and empower others to reclaim their lives.

Hello and welcome to the ET Project. I'm your host, Wayne Brown, and as usual, we're delighted to be delivering this podcast for executive talent all over the world whom we're affectionately referring to as Team ET.

And team, today we're traveling to the UK to a township southwest of London to meet with our very special guest. She's a catalyst, a mentor, a guest lecturer, a trustee, a non-executive director, a JP, an advisory board member, and a CEO by day. And she's also a twin mom. I'm very happy to be chatting today with Ms. Brandie Deignan.

Brandie is a self-proclaimed industry agnostic, and as you'll hear shortly, throughout her career has not only held senior roles across multiple industries where she had no background. But with each transition moved into higher office. In early 2021, Brandie joined the primary care within NHS in general practice as the Chief Executive Officer highlighting that leadership is leadership and cuts across all sectors.

Prior to the switch to primary care in NHS, Brandie was managing director at Marco Pierre White Restaurants cementing her 20 years of experience in consumer service delivery industries across hospitality, retail, and aviation.

Before her MD role, Brandie held senior leadership positions in British Airways, Tesco, Whitbread, Travelodge, and Hilton Hotels, where she started her career as a graduate trainee and worked her way up.

A true trailblazer, Brandie was the first female MD at MPW Restaurants, and as of 2020, was the first black female MD within branded restaurants across the UK. She's presently the only black female CEO within NHS primary care.

Brandie has been named as one of the top 15 BAME high fliers in travel and tourism, and nominated in multiple other British Business Awards plus has been voted as one of the top 50 listening leaders.
