Patty Lennon Fifty Speaking Gigs in Fifty Weeks
Welcome to the programme in what is Christmas week 2018. My guest on the show 49 is Patty Lennon, her mission is to bring back the soul into the business world.
Patty is a business coach, keynote speaker and author. She is a woman that inspires people in business to lead and sell with passion and purpose.
But first, advanced notice and a technical apology
On New Year's day, I will be releasing the 50th show, and it is all about vision and goals. But not in the way that you think. In that programme, I will be speaking with Simon Jordon and Suzy Beaumont. Both past guests with visionary projects that are unfolding in a very different way.
So please subscribe to the podcast in your app so as not to miss this important show.
The Technical Bit
Patty Lennon and I met up and recorded this interview via the zoom app at the beginning of December. Patty had said at the time she was getting some interference on the line, little did I know that zoom had selected the wrong microphone.
Sadly my audio quality has suffered despite post-processing. At times my voice will be hard to hear. That aside Patty is coming through loud and clear, what she has to say worth a listen.
So tell me, Do you want more speaking Gigs?
On the show, we talk about the challenge of getting 50 speaking gigs in 50 weeks. Patty has a competitive nature, so accepting the challenge was exciting, it was not so easy when her mother a relapse need treatment for cancer.
We talk about authenticity about being real and in the moment and presenting that emotion on stage is both a powerful and memorable experience for the audience.
Patty believes that businesses must be more than a way to make money, they must contribute to our fellow humans. She is committed to helping her fellow entrepreneurs learn to grow their businesses from a place of love rather than fear and experience the true power, prosperity and peace that arises when they do.
She mentions her faith in Jesus, her interest in other theology and how these work for her. If that bothers you, please see beyond, because this conversation is valuable.
I hope you enjoy the conversation here is Patty Lennon Fifty Speaking Gigs in Fifty Weeks
As mentioned above next week is the 50th programme, it will be live on New Years Day. ( UK time ) To celebrate, I have invited back a couple of past guests, both with visionary projects.
Simon Jordon and Suzy Beaumont
The topic is BIG Vision and how to approach vision in a way that has nothing to do with hustle and grind.

LP&B 48 Damien Fogg Retired Early at 32
Friday Dec 21, 2018
Friday Dec 21, 2018
Damien Fogg is a full-time Investor. He has titles such as Chartered Surveyor, Mortgage Broker, Financial Adviser, Property Developer, Landlord, Trader... plus a few more.
But Damien is unique in my guest profile because he is not driven by passion or by having a strong "WHY". That has not stopped him from building a life that some might envy.
To put it all into a context, he has been involved in most kind of investing over the years. Before his retirement, he had over £2.2 billion worth of developments under his belt.
It was other people money, and it allowed him to build up a passive income. Retirement came early at just 32, clearly, somewhere along the way he figured out a system that worked for him.
Now his mission is to help other people gain more time and reduce their stress by managing their finances and investing in their long-term future.
Some people struggle as they travel this life, they find it hard looking for meaning or reason for it all. I would put myself in that boat, and say it is an ongoing quest for me.
Thankfully for this podcast helps, it has given me focus and direction, and it is opening so many doors. but enough of my journey.
Back to Damien, he has created a life that works for him by making simple choices. He decides what he wants his day to look like and works for there.
I hope you enjoy the conversation with Damien Fogg.

Shay Rowbottom Viral Video & Content Queen
Shay is the Chief Operating Officer and co-founder of Margle Media. It is a very official corporate title possible why it is abbreviated to COO.
Margle Media is a social media marketing startup based in Milwaukee. They specialise in viral video creation. The company distribute around 2,000 videos per month and now averages over 1 billion monthly views on their content.
A billion is a staggering number of social media views and shows what is possible with creativity and know-how.
But LP&B is not about me getting geeky on the marketing stuff. It is about the people behind the project and what drives them.
Regular Linkedin Contributor
Shey started to appear in my Linkedin feed about three months ago. It was her videos that impressed me.
She's a regular contributor to the LinkedIn platform and makes videos on a weekly basis. But these videos are nothing to do with her business.
The videos are about life; they're about how she feels about things, they are about depression they are about the touchy-feely subjects. All the things that humans know about, but don't necessarily want to talk about...
I was inspired to reach out to her because she is so raw and real in these videos. I wondered what that was about and where that was coming from and how she finds it so easy to express it publicly.
Shay Rowbottom Viral Video & Content Queen
Shay dropped out of college to pursue a music career, but after years struggling to make it, she became dissatisfied and was looking for a change
An opportunity arrived to learn viral video editing for a large blog on Facebook; it is where she met her life and business partner Luke Marlow.
Together they started Margle Media from the bedroom at home in downtown Milwaukee in spring 2016. Since then it has scaled. It now employs over 30 people and services companies such as Nuts.com, Yahoo, Petco and MGM.
They provide social media marketing campaigns and daily video content for social media pages. As said above they distribute around 2,000 videos per month and get an average of 1 Billion views per month on their content.
Shay is a product of the internet generation; she exudes confidence and yet there is a vulnerability. Where does that come from? What is it that is driving this young woman to create video and be out there doing what she does?
I hope you enjoy the conversation with Shay Rowbottom viral video maker and content queen

Short Casts With Paul Harvey- Morning Routines.
Sunday Dec 02, 2018
Sunday Dec 02, 2018
This will be a part of this series of short podcasts, it will be mostly m, sometimes I may ask a guest to share their wisdom. The idea they will be short. and hence called "Shorts"
This is all about me taking the opportunity to share daily routines of my life, the things that work, the things that I'm doing that might help you. let's start a dialogue about this if you resonate with these discussions reach out and let's hear your experience.
I am going to start with morning routines
We all have one, even if it is just tumble out of bed pile into the shower wash the night away, raise the rest of the family get kids to school and get to the day job without having a major mishap.
As entrepreneurs, we have a different relationship with our day. It is not the same as people working for companies ie with a boss. But as an entrepreneur where there is nobody chasing your ass, it requires a different mindset.
I am the boss of my time I am totally responsible for my day.
What I discovered over the last few years is that if I want to have a good day I have got a start it right. I've got to be getting to bed at the right time having had enough sleep. I have to start the day with a routine that means I am winning even before I turn on the computer or pick up the phone.
This podcast is about my different routines and what is working for me now.
