In this week's show, Steven talks to friend, Lewis Burton, a man who knows exactly what it's like to be at the top, having been one of the country's most well-regarded athletes. But Lewis also knows the darker side of recognition, and has had to withstand some intrusive, and sometimes negative media attention. In this episode, Lewis talks openly about Caroline Flack for the first time, without the spin of the tabloids. 

It's time to set the record straight, and in this show, Steven reveals the true side of Lewis Burton.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

• Being an athlete requires dedication in all kinds of ways. Mental preparation is key, but sacrifices must also be made in order to achieve the required physical abilities.

• We should only ever take advice from those who know what the journey is all about. Far too many people think they have the right to hand out advice, especially on social media, when they have no idea of how things work.

• A lack of confidence can strike anyone down. Don't ever assume that just because someone is successful or happy that they don't have their own personal struggles.

• If you use social media for any length of time, you find yourself becoming increasingly disconnected from the real world. Ultimately this is detrimental to mental health.

ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships. 

As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life. 

My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.
