Always Better than Yesterday with Ryan Hartley | A Podcast for Heart Centred Leaders

Friends, we have a new website! Please visit www.abty.co.uk to connect with us at a heart level and see whether our heartwork may serve you better. On episode 175 I am joined by Alex Higham, founder of Exhale. After developing an autoimmune condition, Alex set out to improve his health and discovered that coffee could in fact be healthy. Ever since, Alex sought to master the art of roasting and brewing his own coffees. And the more he learned, the more he realised coffee could be so much more than what most people make of it. Thus Exhale was born; a coffee company that seeks to do more - especially for the health of people and the environments that sustain them. Exhale is a small business with big ambitions to promote health, sustainability and fairness in the coffee supply chain. To do this means taking a family mentality to work. Already a dad of two kids, and husband to co-founder, Kirsty, the extended Exhale family also includes Kaspar, Laura, Tabby, Helen, Tom and Alex - and they’re growing. Together, Exhale combine their passions and skills to bring us the healthiest coffee imaginable, sourced responsibly, and with a true love of the craft. Exhale are a team of dreamers, united on a mission to positively change the coffee world, forever. If you are heading to the Health Optimisation Summit on 28/29 May – message me and come and say hi!

On episode 174 I am joined by John David & Ana Gabriel Mann, co-authors of The Go Giver Marriage. John and Ana have been dreaming about cowriting The Go-Giver Marriage and bringing its message to the world ever since the first draft of John and Bob’s original book came sliding out of his desktop printer in early 2005. For more than a decade, readers of the bestselling Go-Giver series have been clamouring for a book on how to apply the philosophy at the heart of The Go-Giver to their personal relationships. From the original story’s coauthor and his wife, a clinically trained therapist, this long-awaited sequel shows readers how to unlock a deeply satisfying, abundant relationship based on simple, everyday acts of generosity. Over the years since the original book’s publication, the term “go-giv-er” has become shorthand for a defining set of values that has helped hundreds of thousands of people around the world find greater professional success. Now, with its charming fable-within-a-parable, followed by an in-depth practical guide, The Go-Giver Marriage brings the personal side of The Go-Giver to life. John David Mann is coauthor of more than thirty books, including four New York Times bestsellers and five national bestsellers; his classic 2008 parable The Go-Giver (coauthored with Bob Burg) earned the 2017 Living Now Book Award’s “Evergreen Medal” given for its “contribution to positive global change.” Ana Gabriel Mann, M.A. earned her degree in clinical psychology before going on to serve as a celebrated educator, therapist, corporate trainer, speaker, and coach. She currently coaches Go-Giver Marriage clients and leads the Go-Giver Marriage Coaches Training Program, training coaches from around the globe. In this episode you will hear: 01:30 The Go-Giver Marriage 20 years in the making 05:00 the young man and the Princess 09:00 1+1 = US 12:00 love is a behaviour 17:00 when childhood trauma emerges in relationships 19:00 human beings with unmet needs 22:00 what is the purpose of marriage? 24:20 love has the eyes of an eagle 27:30 the paradoxical Go-Giver secret 34:00 the intangibles in a marriage 39:00 be so attentive its ‘almost’ criminal 43:00 familiarity doesn’t have to breed contempt 48:00 every individual has an undiscovered continent I hope this interview inspires your relationships present and future.

Parkinson's Law is the idea that the task expands to the amount of time it is given. Don't make my mistake. Use Parkinson's Law to your betterment and if you do use it with your team, use it with empathy. 

So often what we admire is others, is present within ourselves.  What do you admire in other leaders?

This episode is dedicated to our friend Steph who tragically passed away on Friday 15th April.  Live forever Steph <3

My message isn't for status, power and finance driven CEO's. And that's ok.  But my message is for you and I hope this continues to be a source of inspiration and encouragement for you.  I know the world needs your heartwork and I know the world benefits from you when you are at your best.  I know that when I leave you better, you leave many others better.  This is our heartprint.
