Gregory says, āAtlas Accessories got started because at 55 I decided I wanted to do something for myselfā. It brings together his love of jewellery design, interest in meaning and symbolism and enjoyment of storytelling. In fact as soon as heād got some of his designs made into āactual proper pieces of jewelleryā people were asking him where they could buy the bracelets.
The next stage was coming up with the name, Gregory says, āthe whole concept behind the accessories is meaning and symbolism and the materials all have animal symbolism or stone symbolismā¦ so I wanted the name of the company to embody that and the more I thought about it I had this dog called Atlas he was pretty much my best friend ā the most important thing in my life and like in any culture they say if you call out the name of a divinity or an entityā¦Ā itās calling on that benevolence or that spirit in some way or that energyā. Ā
Gregory talks about the importance of the leather and stones used in his jewellery and how they are great for storytelling. āBy combining all these natural materials you can create symbolic meaning in the individual pieces and the reason thatās important I think itās great for storytelling. Like when I meet someone, especially if Iām a little nervous, they usually ask about my bracelets and I can point to one and I can tell a little story that just tells a little bit about me and kind of how I view the worldā. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 24th November at 12pm GMT.

Robert says, āI love getting to impact peopleās lives and being able to share nuggets of gold and clues Iāve learned from travelling around the world and being able to train peopleā. Heās been lucky enough to travel around the world and taught over half a million students helping them to find out what their passion is and how it is achievable if they follow the ā6 life changing habitsā which are āreal, relevant and repeatableā.
Robert grew up in a close-minded society where he was told, āYou donāt have to like what youāre doing. If itās giving you security and itās helping you earn money to take care of your family then you do that job whether itās something you enjoy or not.ā However, after being laid off again and again he embraced personal development which heād initially thought was too āwoo wooā but says, āIāve been blown away by āwooā things that have taken my life in a totally new directionā.
Robert is clear to point out that success doesnāt come without āpractice practice practiceā and how important it is, āthat you surround yourself with growth minded people being willing to be vulnerable enough to say you know what I donāt know this or Iām not the best at it who do I know who could assist me on it and be willing to ask for them helpā. The interview is full of nuggets of wisdom so make sure you donāt miss it. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 17th November at 3pm GMT.

Jennifer is a financial wellness expert who started out helping people with their retirement plans. What she realised was that people struggled with it because, āthey didnāt have the money management today to begin to focus on bigger things like not needing a job someday. She realised a more holistic approach was needed because, āItās hard to be well, to be happy and healthy if you donāt have a good sense of your finances and a good balance in themā.
After financial troubles hit the finance company where she worked, she was left feeling frustrated but soon realised how lucky she was. āAnd in that moment of frustration, I was able to tell myself focus on whateverās important to you like be happy find your happiness ā donāt worry about the money itās there and that was such a gift and I realised very few people likely would have that same sentiment and that was a gift that I could give other people this habit that just came naturally to meā. It also helps that Jennifer is very approachable and enjoys a more collaborative approach that allows her to help a broad spectrum of people from refugees to financial experts. Ā
She has one piece of advice for all of us start talking about money with your children, your partner, your friends, your work. āif you can build up the courage to face your numbers yourself and to start having those conversations not only will you improve your own life but youāll improve the lives of everyone around youā. Andā¦ if youāre thinking of getting married make sure you āmarry carefullyā and have those uncomfortable chats about money and spending habits early on. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 10th November at 2pm GMT.Ā

Klaudia is a mindset and success coach for women. She says, āYou will find plenty of people who will talk about mindset recently, and say you need to be constantly happy to attract positive things and you know what thatās ok but that comes laterā. She explains she helps people to understand where their emotions come from, āWhatever you do now, whatever your belief system is, whatever patterns you have, fears maybe creep in every single day and they have come from somewhere. They havenāt been there for a couple of weeks; they havenāt been there for a couple of months theyāve been there for at least 30 years or 40 years!ā.Ā
Klaudia explains we all inherited these emotions when we were young children, and these emotions are what is holding us back. āWhat Iām working on is getting to the root of your problems and trying to shift those beliefs, those patterns from childhood so that they will not bother you anymore and you are ready to live your fulfilled lifeā. In fact, Klaudia explains we continue to build on these core traumas even when they no longer seem traumatic. For example, if we are going for a job interview, we will feel the same negative emotions we felt as a child trying to answer a question in class and these negative feelings will repeat until we change them. She says, āour patterns have been set years ago, thatās your default system, and what Iām working on is trying to change your default system create a new one that you are able to live your perfect life without any fears, without any negative patterns and without this emotional exhaustion of where those feelings are coming from whatās happening and why am I constantly anxious, angry or I canāt sleepā.Ā
If this sounds familiar, then check out Klaudiaās website below. She runs 12 week individual and group courses so there is something for everyone. In these courses she helps you to work through forgiveness and set up goals. She says, āFor most of us setting up goals are extremely complicated. I have the way how to make it simpler, how to make it easy and how to create an action plan step by step to get you from where you are and where you want to beā. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 3rd November at 3pm BST.

Denise started making granola and muesli for her family during the pandemic in 2020. She explains, āIt started out of pure necessity just for my own consumption and my familiesā consumption ā we love to eat granola and muesliā. After getting the thumbs up from her family she started to give her gourmet granola and muesli to a few friends and neighbours to see what they thought and thatās when it took off and Engrained was born. Denise says, āI did not set out to start a business at all but somehow it has turned into one and Iām the first one surprised to be honestā.Ā
Denise says she wanted to make her granola and muesli recipes appealing because, āit was initially intended for my children and myself so it had to be something that I was happy to dig into every day and that I knew they would get excited about as wellā. The recipes also needed to be healthy and nourishing, ābecause I didnāt want to be running around preparing snacks all the time, so it sort of had to tick a few boxes but yes I definitely put a huge emphasis on the flavoursā. She wonāt be pushed into picking out her favourite flavour and with names like āTrĆØs chocolatā Granola, Carrot Halwa Granola and Almond Cinnamon Crunch Granola I donāt blame her! Sustainability is also very important to her, āI see small businesses are really the ones leading the change and really putting change in consumers handsā which is why you can get refills of her recipes at select refill shops (see www.engrained.co.uk for details). The interview was recorded on Wednesday 20th October at 12pm BST.

David works in financial services, but he says, āoutside of my 9 to 5 I spend as much time outdoors on the water doing whatever that I possibly canā. He is also the County Training Manager at South London Scouts and I wanted to talk to him about how he felt the last 18 months had impacted the young people he works with. āOn a positive note, I think the last 18 months have been great in that thereās been worldwide connections which would have never happened, weāve met people, made new friends got people interested in different things that would never have happened. But on the flip side to that thereās a massive gap in the socialization of young people. Thereās a lot of anxiety thatās come in that definitely wasnāt there before.āĀ
David recognises, āCovid is a big restriction at the moment and obviously whilst we need to be mindfulā¦ I think we should be pushing to get young people outdoors doing different activitiesā. That said he says, āI generally find that every activity that we [South London Scouts] run will be pretty much sold out instantaneously because theyāre so keen at the moment to get back doing things which is so greatā. In fact, there is something for everyone at the Scouts for both girls and boys from 4 years old upwards to adult volunteers. David explains, āWeāve got Squirrels starting off super young, weāve now got Cubs coming in, we then got Cub Scouts and really thereās a place in scouting from every age really up to adultsā. What is he looking forward to in the future, āJust getting back into the proper outdoors. We have a general saying in scouting that thereās no such thing as bad weather just inappropriate clothingā. The interview was recorded on Monday 18th October at 12pm BST.

When Wishes Change is about how Tricia and her family navigated the miracle birth of her daughter Annabelle and her death 6 days later. Itās about grief and about how life can change but it is also about hope. After falling pregnant Tricia and her husband Jonas decided to have a test to find out the gender of the baby but they also found out she had Trisomy 18 and were recommended to have an abortion. After much thought and prayers they decided, āwe wanted to keep the pregnancy and just give it our bestā. She explains Annabelle defied the odds and was born despite them being told, āthere was probably only a 10% chance of meeting her aliveā. Tricia says, āI think even though it was a tragic situationā¦ we were just so lucky to get to meet her and to hold her.ā She talks about when her eldest child Cameron met Annabelle, āI remember the moment when my son got to meet her and say hello to her... Every time Cameron came in the room her little head would pick up a little bit when he started talkingā.
Tricia also talks about her job as a head volleyball coach at a high school being a positive outlet during her pregnancy. She is very proud and full of respect for her team who ended up winning the state championship. āI think these young athletes were so beyond their years to just see that I was going through something that was a really difficult situation... They had told me early on that this was for Annabelle andā¦ they wanted to win state for her which was extremely humbling rightā. Her coaching experience also helped her during this difficult time. She reflects, āYou teach kids that itās not about the winning and losing itās about getting better and feeling like you have done everythingā¦ And for me, as I processed all of this I felt likeā¦ if I chose to continue with the pregnancy that I would do everything I could to keep myself healthy and the baby inside of me healthy and if I got to meet her alive I would do everything I could to make her comfortableā. This is a wonderful honest hopeful episode talking about how we can all navigate difficult times and grief. The interview was recorded on Friday 8th October.

Maria is a relationship coach who coaches codependents, āwomen and men that are in recovery from codependency to attract and manifest that relationshipā. And by that relationship she means helping them to find, āa healthy loving relationshipā. She goes on to explain, ā40 years ago they could tell that if you grew up with addictionā¦ youād have some of the characteristics of codependency but the conversation has moved on and today we know that one of the hallmarks of codependent behaviour is you just grew up in a dysfunctional familyā.
This is an area close to Mariaās heart as she married an addict and then slid into workaholism because of her codependency.Ā She says, āIād work round the clock 12 hours a day with maybe 20 minutes break because I didnāt have to feel I could be just a human doing and I think itās important to recognise that. But whatās underlying codependent behaviour is shame and low self-esteem.ā Over 20 years later she is now a trained coach and in a healthy nurturing relationship and wants to provide the help she wishes sheād been able to get when she was younger.Ā
Maria explains, āwithout any work if you have codependency, or you identify with it by the time youāre in midlife youāll either be divorced maybe twice. Or, youāll maybe not do a relationship because itās too painful to be intimate with somebodyā¦ or jump from relationship to relationship.ā Thatās why more education schools would lead to much better satisfying lives for younger people. Afterall, āthe quality of our lives depends on our relationships with ourselves and with othersā. The interview was recorded on Thursday 7th Oct at 2pm BST.Ā

What is āMy Black Dogā? Niki says, āit is a peer-to-peer support service for people who are struggling with their mental healthā. With two big differences, āall our volunteers have a lived experience which means theyāve been through it before - they totally get it - they know how you feelā and instead of calling you text. Deciding to make the service text only was done to make it easier for people to communicate how they were feeling. Niki says the fear of saying how you are feeling out loudā¦ āsuddenly becomes really real, and youāve now said this thing and itās out there and you canāt get it backā.Ā
Niki explains she wanted to set up this service to make it easier for people to get help when they needed it. She points out that the benefits of seeing a professional face-to-face are clear but waiting lists are long and sometimes itās just not possible or appealing. Niki talks about her own experiences of how she felt after going to an appointment. āYou just go there, and you release the kraken and all these things come out and its really emotional and I remember once I had a session, and I was just devastated by the end of it.ā She set up My Black Dog so that this way people can, ātalk to someone in [their] jimjams at home somewhere that itās comfy and cosey and you feel mentally safeā.Ā
Like with many new initiatives over the past two years My Black Dog was there just when people needed it. As Niki says it meant they had to be very adaptable and grow very fast, finding new tech and getting more volunteers to be able to provide a high-end service for people getting in touch. Niki reminiscences about the first few months of the pandemic, ānot only are we ideally placedā¦ for people to get help for their mental health, but we donāt have any money and weāre going to be busier than weāve ever been before, and we were it was a 2,030% increase in a year!ā. The interview was recorded on Monday 27th Sept at 2.30pm BST.

Petter Erik and Maria set up AweSM to help āfreedom-seeking coaches, consultants and experts reach millions of people, and grow their business with the Nordic No-Nonsense Approachā. Maria says for them the pandemic was a blessing ābecause what we do is help... people who want to create online courses or are coaches and consultants and we help them to build businesses online. And of course, when the pandemic hit what happened was that a lot of our potential clients just lost everythingā¦ and people were freaking out, so they came to us. So, our business has grown actually quite a lot because of the pandemic because of what happened in the market, and everyone had to go online to actually have clients at all.ā
Petter Erik explains that it wasnāt all smooth sailing, āwe were like do we have anything to sell, do people appreciate what weāre doing ā is it working or maybe itās just an illusion.ā What helped them breakthrough was āmindsetā āwhen things like this happen you can just lay down and just start to cry and thinkā¦ I canāt do anything or you can step up and figure out how can I make a winnerā. Petter Erik likens starting a business to playing a video game and stresses the importance of having fun with it and enjoying it. He also says getting advice and talking to people who have more experience is vital. Maria points out that when you play a video game there is a different strategy to win level 1 than level 2, so you always need to learn new strategies. That's why itās really important to embrace and enjoy new challenges because this will enable you to grow.
For more of their 'Nordic No-Nonsense Approach' you can join AweSM's virtual event starting on Thursday 4th November 2021 (link below). Petter Erik says, āgrowing a company is a mindset ā the skills you can buy but the mindset you canāt buy.ā The event is set to be lots of fun and very interactive. Maria says, āWe love to make people come together and be inspired and get energy and talk together and build community. And, itās very often very lonely to be an entrepreneur so it is so important for people to actually have this place to meet.ā The interview was recorded on Monday 27th September at 12 pm BST.
