Today’s conversation is with John Viola, FIFA football agent.  John became one of the first modern football agents in the UK in 1995 and has conducted transfers worldwide, at the highest level. Expect to learn about John’s career, what it takes to be a successful agent, and the ins and outs of transfer deals and contract negotiations. He shares stories about French world cup winners, Rangers, Celtic, Walter Smith, John Hartson, Lee McCulloch and many more. I ask about the dynamics between agents and clubs, the clauses in contracts, the impact of transfer windows, how to manage player expectations and much more. John has so much experience in this sector and shares so much during this conversation in the Green room podcast studio in Glasgow. Not only will you learn about John’s career but also how he now teaches and mentors others to become football agents themselves. I rarely talk about football on the podcast, so this was great fun and I know you’ll enjoy the conversation. Today's podcast is supported by Crypto Glasgow.

Today’s conversation is with Gary McGowan also known as Skinny Gaz. Gary McGowan is a 27-year old personal trainer, the co-owner of Triage Method, and a current medical student. With various practical qualifications in personal training, nutrition and strength & conditioning, as well as a BSc in Physiotherapy, Gary is interested in how individuals can live their lives in the most healthful way possible. Beyond exercise, nutrition, and the behaviours we typically associate with "health", he also has a keen interest in philosophy and psychology as it relates to the pursuit of a good life. Given Gary wears a number of different hats, I ask about his identify and how he views himself. This is of particular interest given his recent hamstring injury which impacted his ability to train. Expect to learn much more about the different aspects of identify, how our mindset, self talk, upbringing and sources we consume can shape how we view ourselves. I mentioned Gary has a keen interest in philosophy and psychology which leads to us discussing what an anti-fragile and good life looks like. Within this you’ll hear about coaching, Nasim Taleb, Jordan Peterson, resilience, being happy, and even jump style dance. Lastly, as Gary is such a busy individual we touch on productivity, work ethic, morals, self improvement, as well as fatphobic behaviours, fit shaming and virtue signalling.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Eric Daimler. Eric is an authority in Artificial Intelligence with over 20 years of experience in the field as an entrepreneur, executive, investor, technologist, and policy advisor. Eric served under the Obama Administration as a Presidential Innovation Fellow for AI and Robotics in the Executive Office of President, as the sole authority driving the agenda for U.S. leadership in research, commercialisation, and public adoption of AI & Robotics. Expect to understand on a basic level what AI is, how it has been implemented in society and which sectors it is likely to be more prominent in. I ask about Healthcare, transport, and even data. Importantly this leads to ethical discussions on what AI can and should do, what boundaries we should draw, and what frameworks need to be in place. As part of this, we delve into the impact of AI on the job market which is a common criticism of machines taking the jobs of humans. Eric shares his vision for AI in our lives and how he hopes people like you and I engage with the conversation about how it will impact society and our lives.

Today's conversation is with Simon Ree. Simon is a best-selling author, options trader and senior finance and investment professional with over 28 years of experience with leading global investment banks including Goldman Sachs, Citibank, and Credit Suisse. Expect to learn about Simon’s background and his 28 years experience in the finance world and his experience operating and trading during previous recessions. This places him in a great position to comment on and explain the current financial crisis, the state of the markets and discuss in depth the causes of this recession and how it could play out in terms of severity and length. By the end of this episode, you’ll also understand more about the link between recessions and bear markets, and the structural issues within western economies. Simon is a vastly experienced trader, so it was amazing to learn more about how a trader feels during economic turmoil and the opportunities he still sees in the market to make profit. You will get an indepth insight into the world of trading options, risk tolerance and management, emotional control, and setting expectations on how much of a return an educated trader can realistically make in the market. Simon is a fountain of knowledge and you’ll enjoy this episode a lot.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Stuart McGill, professor emeritus at University of Waterloo for 30 years, clinician and researcher. Stu is the number one back pain expert in the world and works with athletes and general population, covering the principles to cure your back problems and sciatica. Having published over 240 papers, and written several books about back pain, I was privileged to host Stu on the podcast. Expect to learn from Stu’s years of experience to better understand the causes of back pain whether they are physical, psychological, social and more. We discuss the common mistakes clinicians and individuals make when it comes to both assessing back pain and treating it. The world has continued to evolve and change during the time that Stu has been researching and practising and we explore how the modern lifestyle can influence pain or causes of pain. Naturally, we learn about combating the sedentary lifestyle whether that is office based or working at home remotely. Having worked with a huge range of athletes across many sports, Stu is uniquely placed to comment on training program structures, the back’s capacity and the demands it can handle. There is so much in this episode and I’ve made sure to upload the video to Spotify and Youtube so you can go and check out any stages where Stu is giving a practical demonstration as well as a verbal explanation. In terms of actionable takeaways, there is lots for you to do after listening to this including reviewing posture, training program structure, lifestyle habits, prehab and rehab, your form when lifting and much more. All the resources we discuss in this episode are linked in the show notes under the ‘Connect with Stu’ section and I’m excited to hear your feedback on what you’ve learned from a true master of his craft and expert.

Today’s conversation the return of my round table discussions with Chris Burns, owner of Savage Scholar Consulting and David Hatt, Founder of MTN. You will remember both from previous episodes and 100, 117 and 118 where we discussed self development quotes and overrated and underrated. This time round, we look at the self development drug to greater success. With that success framed from a business and career perspective. This was a last minute location change which meant we had to record in David’s office without our usual set up, so please excuse the slightly reduced audio quality. The value in the conversation is high enough to justify releasing it and I hope you can still appreciate the conversation as these episodes always get great feedback from the audience.

Today’s conversation is with Richard Dickson, 25 Year Old Property Millionaire and entrepreneur. This is a marathon podcast of just under 2 hours that was run at a sprinter’s pace. That for me, gives you a great insight into the man that I interviewed - Richard Dickson. Expect to learn about his journey from growing up in the southside of Glasgow, his apprenticeship as electrician to the man we see now on social media with his successful investments and super cars. This conversation goes well beyond the generic story of how Richard became a successful entrepreneur, you’re going to hear about the how but also the why. His mindset, his thirst for knowledge, how he’s applied his personality traits to chase the success he desires. I cannot do this conversation justice in a 90 second intro but topics you will hear include the value of online mentors, MMA fighting, hedonic adaptation and mindset around money, polarising social media, breakdowns of income streams, exciting deals and big financial lessons. We even get onto family, charity, moral compass, relationship dynamics, and self defence. You get it all in this conversation. I love recording with Richard and know so many of you have been in touch asking when this episode was going to go live. Now it’s here, I know you’re going to enjoy it so please take the time to share it with 1 friend or to your Instagram story to make sure others get to hear this powerful conversation too.

Today’s conversation is with Pat Divilly, mentor, best selling author and podcast host. I was excited to have this discussion with Pat, who is someone I look up to and admire when it comes to emotional awareness and ability to articulate how and why he feels and thinks the way he does. This strikes me as a huge asset in the busy hectic lives we all lead in such a fast paced world. Pat shares with us much of his story, the big pivots and decisions he has made as well as the processes he has used to make these. Expect to learn about the 4 energies we can all manage, how to overcome overthinking, negative thoughts, recognise the shadow side of our personalities, and find more purpose in our lives. This is a deep conversation with lots of introspection and analysis, but also a number of actionable exercises we can employ ourselves to develop our own minds.

Today’s conversation is with Nick Maggiulli, finance educator, the creator of Of Dollars And Data, and author of Just Keep Buying. Nick’s blog is an incredible resource on all things personal finance and I loved his book Just Keep Buying. Having heard him interviewed a number of times, I bought his book and was straight into his Instagram DMs after I finished it to organise this episode. Expect to learn about Nick’s data driven approach and his Just Keep Buying philosophy when it comes to investing and generating personal wealth. We discuss a huge range of topics including investing during a bear market, timing your investments, buying versus renting, taking on debt, the save-invest continuum, and even how to reduce your guilt about spending money. One fascinating area that you will learn about is the role that the generation you are born in, your age when you start investing, and even your luck play when it comes to personal finance. The last two topics we dive into are Nick’s own portfolio, his experience with Crypto, and how different personality types might respond to his work and advice. Today’s podcast is supported and sponsored by Clean Foods Meal Prep. Anyone keeping a close eye on my Instagram will know I’ve been eating prepped meals from Clean Foods since the end of March. The removal of over 90 minutes of cooking and meal prep each week has been a big win for me, while the meals are tastier and more varied ingredients than I would manage cooking them myself.
