🎙️ Claim What’s Yours: Alan Howell on Taking On Insurance Giants and Taking Control of His Future

How one redundancy led to business ownership, fighting for policyholders, and the power of local networking in Camberley and beyond.

In this episode of Wired for Success, host Jamie Morgan sits down with Alan Howell, the owner of My Property Claim, an insurance loss assessor business based in Camberley, Surrey.

Alan’s entrepreneurial journey began not with a grand plan—but with redundancy. After being let go from his corporate job at Nokia, Alan made a bold decision to buy a franchise and launch his own business. What followed was a steep learning curve, a new mission, and a realisation: most policyholders don’t know how to deal with insurance companies when things go wrong—and worse, many insurers will do everything they can not to pay out.

💡 In this episode, we explore:

• Why Alan chose to buy a franchise—and what he learned along the way
• The crucial differences between insurance brokers, loss adjusters, and loss assessors
• What to look out for in your home or business insurance policy before it’s too late
• Real-life examples of how insurers try to avoid paying claims
• Why Alan is proud to stand up for policyholders who feel powerless
• How local business networking transformed My Property Claim’s growth
• And what advice he has for anyone navigating redundancy or starting a business

Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, business owner—or just someone who's dealt with insurance headaches—this episode is full of practical insights and real-world experiences from someone who's been on both sides of the desk.

🛠️ Alan now works with clients across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, and beyond, helping them maximise their insurance claim success and reduce stress during difficult times.

🎙️ But, Will It Shred an Egg? | Charlotte Haye – Vivid Copy | Wired for Success Podcast

In this episode of Wired for Success, host Jamie Morgan chats with Charlotte Haye, founder of Vivid Copy and an expert UK-based copywriter who knows how to bring words to life—and businesses with them.

Charlotte’s journey started in the family-run catering business, working black tie events, but her love of storytelling and sharp messaging eventually led her to the world of copywriting. Now, she helps businesses find their voice, cut through the noise, and sound more like people, not polished brochures.

Oh, and when she’s not writing compelling web and email copy? She’s probably working on a horror or zombie book for young adult readers. 🧟‍♀️

🔍 In this episode:

• The surprising power of tone of voice

• Why clarity (not cleverness) wins in copy

• How to avoid sounding like everyone else

• What makes “personality-packed” writing work

• And yes… we ask the important question: But will it shred an egg?

Whether you're a business owner, content creator, or just curious about how better words can boost your brand, this episode is packed with insight and energy.

📍 Charlotte works with clients across the UK, including Hampshire, Surrey, and Berkshire.

The One Thing Most Business Owners Miss About Real Success

 Welcome to the very first episode of Wired for Success — the podcast for UK entrepreneurs, business owners, and startups who know they were born to win, but also know they need clarity, strategy, and aligned action to truly get there. 

 I’m Jamie Morgan, business coach and founder of ⁠Help Me Grow Business Coaching⁠. I’ve spent over 25 years starting, growing, and selling businesses across the UK. In this launch episode, I’ll share the inspiration behind the podcast and the one fundamental shift most people overlook on their journey to success. 

 💡 What We’ll Cover in This Episode: 

• The powerful mindset shift that changes everything
• Why “hustle” alone won’t get you where you want to go
• How congruent action creates real results
• What it means to be truly “wired for success”
• What to expect from future episodes

 This show is inspired by the words of Zig Ziglar:“You were born to win. But to win, you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”

 If you’ve ever felt like you’re working hard but not moving forward, this episode will help you reset and refocus — so you can move from burnout to belief, and from scattered to strategic. 

 🎧 Who This Podcast Is For: 

• Startup founders and small business owners in the UK
• Entrepreneurs in Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and beyond
• Anyone looking to grow their business sustainably and profitably
• Those seeking practical marketing, mindset, and growth tips
