Today’s conversation is with Thomas Erikson, Author, Motivator, and Lecturer. His book Surrounded by Idiots is one of the world’s best-selling non-fiction books and has been translated into over 40 languages. Thomas has devoted over 20 years of his career to helping people communicate with each other, and along the way he’s developed practical and functional tools that facilitate both professional and private life. Thomas is convinced you will reach your goals more easily if you improve your understanding of communication and your surroundings. He utilises the DISC-model to highlight different behaviours, where different archetypes of demeanour and communication are categorised as red, green, yellow or blue. Expect to learn about these different communications styles, how they shape our personalities, how each of the colours behave, listen, communicate, make decisions and more. I ask Thomas about the combinations that we see across society, what job roles tend to favour which colours, and the drivers that sit behind the colour preferences. When it comes to team building or working with others, it’s vital we have self awareness of our own personality types but also know how to recognise someone else’s and manage your style to both get the best outcomes. I loved learning about the different personality traits and I even share my own test results during this conversation as well as exploring the areas that Thomas has worked on himself personally to bring to life how this knowledge and information can be applied.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Yusef Smith, co-founder of Propane Fitness. This is round 2 with Yusef after he appeared on episode 87 talking about making big career decisions, improving the nation’s health and productivity. The reaction last time was incredible, so it was a pleasure to host Yusef again. This time we got together in the Green Room podcast studios during Yusef’s recent trip to Scotland. Since we spoke in September 2021, Yusef has left the NHS so we explore what led to this decision and the factors he took into consideration. It is then a free flowing conversation on a range of topics that I was interested to explore with Yusef. These include meta and virtual reality, calories being added to menus in the UK, having his home professionally organised, removing estorgens from his life for 12 weeks, and even his thoughts on the no fap movement. I know you’re going to enjoy this one and hope you appreciate the beautiful audio quality from the studio.

Today’s conversation is with Innovation and Fintech expert and author, Richard Turrin . Rich was a banker for almost 20 years and a serial innovator throughout his career. Specialising in the design and innovation of new fixed-income products, he saw firsthand how technology, finance, and regulation come together to impact innovation. He made his career by thinking “out of the box” and uses his experience now as a Consultant to put fintech and AI to work for his clients. Based in Shanghai, Rich has witnessed China become a cashless society and shares how this process and I learn more about AliPay and WeChat Pay. Beyond this, expect to learn how China has built its own Central Bank Digital Currency, how this will impact the wider world, and how this Digital currency differs to Cryptocurrency. We discuss some of the recent scandals in the Crypto space which have caused challenges with the legitimacy of some coins and projects as future potential currencies. I’ve been deep down the rabbit hole with Rich’s newsletters and LinkedIn articles, and it’s clear that CBDCs are something many counties are working towards. In the UK, Sunak announced plans for Brit coin while the US is exploring what has been nicknamed FedCoin. There’s a lot of technical discussions within this episode about what sits behind these currencies, but also how they will impact our day to day lives, our privacy, freedom, and level of choice.

Today’s conversation is with Adam Lane Smith, retired psychotherapist turned attachment specialist. Attachment is a topic that I stumbled across through Adam’s appearances on Modern Wisdom and I’ve been down the rabbit hole on Adam’s content ever since from his Twitter, Blog and Youtube to one of his books. Expect to learn about what attachment is and what role is plays in our relationships. Beyond this we dive into different attachment styles, where they come from, how they develop, and what you can do to work on your attachment issues. This was a fascinating conversation and I learned so much during it. There is a large section on evolutionary psychology and the role this plays in the different ways that men and women bond to one another. Interestingly, this leads onto discussions on the differences between male and female depression and mental health , hook up culture and even sex drive and intimacy. Adam is a titan in this space and it’s clear that our attachment styles, our awareness of our own and others around us enable us to live happier, healthier lives with more fulfilling relationships.

Today’s conversation is with Paul Mort, a master coach, a mentor, an author and a keynote speaker This podcast was over 6 months in the making and it is well worth the wait. We go back to the most turbulent period of Paul’s life in 2014. He shares what was happening during that time for him mentally despite his incredible business success. Expect to learn about how Paul has channeled this period to help himself and now thousands of other men. His style is direct, fast paced and unique. You cannot help but get fired up listening to his message, while there are some big questions to ask and consider yourself when it comes to how you live your life and how you personally manage your mental health. I even get a row during this conversation for saying that I can’t comment strongly on mental health because I’ve not experienced significant low periods or diagnosed challenges, and I’m very thankful for Paul’s direct straight talking style and message. On a practical level, we dive into journaling, managing your inner critic, self talk, sources you can learn from as well as the hot topic of no-fap and even Harry Styles.

Today’s conversation is with Dr. Daniel Crosby. Daniel is a psychologist, behavioural finance expert and asset manager who applies his study of market psychology to everything from financial product design to security selection. He is the author of The Behavioural Investor, co-author of the New York Times bestseller Personal Benchmark: Integrating Behavioural Finance and Investment Management, and the Chief Behavioural Office at Orion Advisors Solutions. This conversation was exciting to have because Daniel is at forefront of behavioralising finance. His ideas have appeared in the Huffington Post and Risk Management Magazine, as well as his monthly columns for WealthManagement.com and Investment News. Daniel was named one of the "12 Thinkers to Watch" by Monster.com, a "Financial Blogger You Should Be Reading" by AARP and in the "Top 40 Under 40" by Investment News. Daniel is perfectly positioned to explain so many big topics, emotions, feelings and trends when it comes to our relationship with money. Expect to learn what behavioural finance is, if money can buy happiness, just what was going on with the Reddit stock picking drama in recent years, the role of hedonic adaptation in our spending, and much more. I also aspect Daniel about his own approach and how he navigates the psychological pitfalls that humans can fall into as investors. In terms of understanding why you behave the way you do with money, this episode cannot be beaten. I hope you get the opportunity to absorb this information and education before considering your own plans. As ever with conversations like this, it should not be construed as financial advice for your personal circumstances and instead viewed as education.

Today’s conversation is with Ben Esgro, Co-Founder & Head of Research and Product Development at Elemental Formulations. Ben has the perfect blend of experience and knowledge for today’s topic which is caffeine. With his Master’s degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences, he is in a position to really dive into different drugs, substances and supplements. Expect to learn how our bodies react to caffeine and how caffeine reacts within our bodies. Understanding this enables how you can employ caffeine for both physical performance and cognitive benefits. This leads to Ben and I discussing sources, dosages, how our genetics influence our absorption and reaction, as well as practical implementations that we personally do. One of the key areas Ben touches on is whether there is potential to become less sensitive to caffeine. I loved learning about the different responses people have whether their genetic profile leads to them being a warrior or worrier and whether you are a fast or slow metaboliser of caffeine.

Katie shares her thoughts on investing in large cap funds like the S&P500, how lifestyle creep can derail your financial plans, and we discuss what on earth has been going on in the market recently as well as the rising inflation rate. This episode was so much fun to record and Katie is a real master of her craft with an incredible blog and podcast.

Today’s conversation is with Shane O’Mara, Professor of Experimental Brain Research at Trinity College Dublin and author of “In Praise of Walking”. His best-selling book 'In Praise of Walking: A New Scientific Exploration' was chosen by the editors at Amazon as one of the best science books of 2020. Expect to learn about how humans are unique in how we walk and the ancestral history of walking. Shane explains how society and our lives have changed with the reduction in movement and move away from walking. Shane’s research has demonstrated the physical benefits of walking and how it impacts our health and longevity. Many of you will already have a steps habit, but this is compelling for increasing this further and doubling down. I have long spoken about the benefits of walking and less formal exercise to improve body composition and calorie expenditure, but I was most excited to talk bout how walking can improve our brains. Shane shares some incredible insight on creativity, memory, mental health and more. The sedentary lifestyle that the western world is set up to maintain is a real challenge. Not only will you learn how we can attempt to fix this as a society, you will get actionable advice on how to take personal responsibility.
