Growth mindsets are Jules and Mark's favourite topic, so join them to find out how to create and cultivate your mind in order to learn new things and achieve positive outcomes.

Whether you're a student in education, a teen starting a new job or an adult in business, we constantly have to work towards completing tasks and, at times, have to become our best selves. Your mindset, or state, will affect your behaviour and actions, and ultimately, that influences your result and outcome. Notice how it starts with the mindset? If you can use positive language and thoughts from the off, you're going to start getting ahead on your journey to the goal.

All of this can be used for fun as well. Jules and Mark have both used these techniques to learn how to play padel tennis and become musicians in the past year. The message is to never stop learning.

Join Jules and Mark to explore some fantastic ideas for the two Ps: Planning and Productivity, and find out how to avoid the third P, procrastination.

Many students up and down the country will be beginning a new academic year, and adults will be fondly looking back at their summer break, as they return to work perhaps. Autumn is approaching and it's always a good time to embrace the opportunity to plan ahead. A new school year or being refreshed from a summer break means the chance to look at exactly what you want to achieve.

It's better to do this now than to procrastinate and leave it until it's too late. Otherwise, that leads to unnecessary stress and panic. So, it's time to create a schedule and stick to it for a simpler and more organised life ahead.

In this latest episode, Jules and Mark think of ideas to really boost your self-care and promote positive mental health over the summer.

Many students will be receiving their school results, graduates will have graduated, and adults will be thinking of a much-needed break. No matter what your results are in education or life, it's time to switch off and look after yourself. You deserve a break!

Join Jules and Mark to find out ways to seize an opportunity when life presents you with one. It could be a long-term goal of yours or something that you simply find by chance.

7th August is National Opportunity Day and is dedicated to shedding light on all the possible opportunities beyond the traditional route. Whether you're in education, working full time, running a business or a parent at home, exciting opportunities will be out there waiting for you.

From setting up the Future Toolbox to emigrating to Lanzarote, Jules and Mark have made some bold decisions in life and have never regretted them. Also, an opportunity can be created from a crisis, such as Mark's injury 12 years ago, but they've since created Brain or Shine to help others affected by brain injury.

Interviews are nerve-wracking experiences! Whether it's your first or hundredth interview, the process doesn't necessarily get easier. It could be for a job, college placement, university course or even to win some new business. However, with planning and preparation, you will put yourself in the best position to get a positive decision from a decision maker.

'Life your life forwards and learn it backwards' is one of Jules and Mark's favourite quotes. Join them in this latest episode to find out how this and reflection will help you bring structure to your life and even improve your mental health.

Reflection is about being critical, a teeny bit unemotional and focusing on the good, not just the bad. And, when we say unemotional, it's alright to feel proud about what you have accomplished. In fact, we encourage it.

Whether you're leaving education with limited experience or perhaps looking for a new opportunity, knowing where to start looking for a job can be a real mission. There are many platforms where jobs are advertised, plus there's the good old-fashioned (and extremely effective) word of mouth. Let's find out how to make this process a little easier.

What is your brand, and how do you build it? Join Jules and Mark as they talk about ways to enhance your personal profile and increase your chances of getting ahead in your career, business, or in life in general.

A brand is a recognisable name, logo or style for a product or service. See a big letter 'K'? That's Kellogg's! The big, yellow 'M'? Yes, we all know who the 'golden arches' belong to. Even the Future Toolbox has Milo too! We are all in the age of influencers, content creators and online artists. So, a brand isn't just for a business or a product, the brand can be you.

But we're not saying that you need a million followers on Instagram to create a successful personal brand. It's about standing out in work, job interviews, university applications, business, and more personal, local areas.

You are the most important person in your life! Yes, join Jules and Mark as they talk about the importance of self-care and taking time to put yourself first.

In previous episodes, we've talked about the key components, which include sleep, diet and exercise. Let's now take a look at some of those small, last-minute daily actions that can help you over the finish line, whether you're sitting an exam or taking on a big life challenge.

Join Jules and Mark as they help you work out how to manage your expectations and relieve some of life's pressures.

Exam season can be overwhelming, and it can be one of those times when it feels like everyone has high expectations of you. The world is flooded with results-based activities. Get the top grades with 100%, be the best in your sports team or climb the career ladder and be number one at work. On the other hand, perhaps you expect to fail miserably and, in this case, need to work harder to achieve results. Both attitudes are unhelpful and can be self-destructive, so instead, create realistic goals to work towards based on what you need, and can do.
