This episode is about me and my story with depression. I’m talk about what depression feels like for me, how it affects my life, what I think the causes are and what I’m doing to try and overcome it.  

The reason why I’m doing this episode is not to have some kind of pity party or get people to feel sorry for me but I just want to share my experience to raise awareness about mental health and hopefully it can help other people who might be experiencing similar issues because it’s a really difficult time for many people at the moment.  

This is the app I mention in the video which has been very helpful for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.moodtools.cbtassistant.app&gl=GB

Robin’s tagline for the episode… “Awareness, manifesting and being present with breathing is the key for life!”

In this episode I speak to Robin Dobler who is dancer, model, teacher and mentor.

He explains why dancing means so much to him, how it helped him to deal with difficult circumstances when he was growing up and what his plans are for the future. We also get into some philosophical conversations about success, happiness and personal development which was really insightful and enjoyable.

“Do it now... imperfectly… but just do it now!”  

In this episode, I speak to Sophie Watson who has just recently launched a new business in Birmingham called The Borrow Shop which offers a library of tools and equipment which people can borrow.   

https://theborrowshop.co.uk/   

So rather than going to the DIY store and buying stuff that we only use a few times which is a waste of money and resources, members of the borrow shop can borrow them instead. This includes items like carpet cleaners, cordless drills, ladders, air beds and even gazebos. She also sells coffee, cakes and homewares from her premises in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham.  

Sophie explains how she came up with the idea, why she’s so passionate about sustainability and how she set up the business from scratch which included getting financial help through crowdfunding.  It’s such a great example of being brave and taking action to do something that’s a bit different. I personally found it really inspiring so I hope you do too.

"Perseverance is not a long race, it's many short races one after the other"  

In this episode, I speak to Amon Kiplagat who is the co-founder of a customer marketing platform called Hyve which helps to turn customers into engaged advocates.   

Amon has a degree in computer science and worked for several years at a customer experience company which is the perfect background to build a platform like this from scratch.  

I find out what customer marketing is, why it’s so important and how Hyve helps support other businesses to implement this into their existing marketing activities. He also talks about his journey from leaving full-time employment to setting up the business and the lessons he has learned along the way.  

It’s really interesting to get a deeper understanding of this concept and inspiring for anyone who is thinking about setting up their own business.

This is a very special episode of the show for two reasons.  

Firstly, it is the first episode that has been filmed in the guest's own home which was in a lovely rural setting near Bath.  And secondly, because there are two parts of the episode and two different taglines!  

In the first half of the podcast, I talk to Owen about his renewable energy business called Climate ER. I find out how he set it up and how he goes about getting investment for £20 million per project.

In the second half of the show, Owen explains why he is about to embark on an epic thousand-mile bike ride from Bristol to Mallorca in memory of his brother Yann who sadly passed away two years ago to cancer.
