Peace Purpose and Happiness with Maya Manseau
Wednesday Apr 17, 2024
Wednesday Apr 17, 2024
Our conversation is a healing journey about finding peace, purpose and happiness. It is a story of family values and grief, an example of a life of change and progression.
Maya Manseau grew up watching courtroom dramas and wanted to become a lawyer. Looking for the right college degree for the legal profession, a family friend advised her to get a technical degree.
She became an associate in electrical engineering in the 1980s when not many women were taking those classes. She learned a lot about how to stand her ground and tell rude jokes with the boys. By the time she left college, her legal career was forgotten.
Going into the world, her career path followed the growth of the computer industry.
Changing Values
Many years later, she was travelling the US with a successful sales career when circumstances pushed her to reevaluate her life. She needed more time for her family. Two close family members were struggling with health issues, and her teenage daughter was growing up fast, and she was missing the journey.
The time was right to make a move. She started a wedding photography business, and it flew. It did well, and her daughters joined her in the business. Together, they had nine wonderful years creatively recording the magical wedding days of couples across the US.
But in 2013, it all changed; Lindsey, her oldest daughter, developed leukaemia and died within the year, and so began the third and current iteration of Maya Manseau’s life.
Since her daughter’s passing, she has written two books “Living Intentionally After Loss: Passion and Purpose and Navigating the Small Business Path.
Peace Purpose and Happiness
Her daughter Lindsey was instrumental in Maya’s new career, which they created together in the last few months of her life.
Our conversation is about that journey and what she discovered on the way. Since then, it has become a mission to help others who are grieving some loss, to help them find themselves again, speak their truth, and turn their loss into something meaningful.

Being Real and Authentic with Deborah Johnson
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
Thursday Mar 28, 2024
A conversation about authenticity for June 2022: the great news is the relevance of this stuff never changes.
For that free focus conversation, check out the links below.
Being real and authentic in the entertainment industry is the difference between a good and great show. But what if we were genuine in everything we do? I have a special admiration for those with a natural talent for music and performance. I had the acting bug in my 20s and still love singing in groups.
Our guest in the show is a creative powerhouse. She has written and performed numerous one-woman shows and has three musicals to her name. She plays, sings, composes, and has written five books, plus she speaks at live events.
Deborah Johnson’s life is about expressing creativity; that journey began when she was nine. She was born into a musical family with a sister who plays the violin. Deborah was guided to the piano and progressed quickly in her ability to play and sing.
She was the young little pianist who would do a solo piece at events and fairs.
Deborah took on her first students when she was 13. After college with an MA, she taught music at all levels, but her passion has always been creation and performance. That has been a story of discipline and dedication to her craft. As she says, “ It is putting in the reps,” she believes in hard work to get a result..
Being Real and Authentic.
In our conversation, we discussed Deborah's process, her fear, and what drives her. Deborah is a solopreneur who is constantly looking for the next creative project.
After over twenty years in the entertainment industry, she has been nominated for multiple GRAMMY Awards. She’s built numerous self-driven businesses and is an expert on constantly reinventing yourself in the gig economy.
Deborah is actively speaking and performing for both live and virtual events and will continue with her creative projects, as she said, “ Until my kids put me in a home.”
Join us for this delightful conversation with Deborah Johnson.

Scott Stokely: Between Thought and Implementation
Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
Wednesday Mar 13, 2024
I have been so looking forward to sharing this conversation with you, as my guest on the show today is a professional Frisbee player. It just makes me chuckle.
In this show we discuss the gap between thought and implementation, fear and failure and the evidence that life always works out.
People like to live by specific rules. One of them is that we have a place to live, somewhere to call home, sleep, and store our things. But who said that was a rule?
Could you live a nomadic life on the road, travelling from city to city and living in hotels? That is the life that my guest, Scott Stokely, has chosen. As you heard in the intro, he made that decision when he was 19. Now in his 50s, he jokes with me that he is probably the most well-off homeless person I will ever meet.
Scott Stokely is a professional disc golf player. When he started in the sport 30 years ago, it was in its infancy. He left home and set out to become a professional player with no plan B. The conversation is so unique because he has always jumped into things.
Scott is an entrepreneur—and a good one. He has always had innate confidence in himself and the knowledge that it would be fine, and that is how the world works. For Scott, failure is just information and means adaptation is needed.
“I will be fine wherever I am. If I fail at something, I will just do something else and that will be fine.”
He explains how he turned his hobby into a profession and invented the funding model that most professional disc golfers use today. He also wrote the first book on disc golf techniques.
This is a discussion about freedom opportunity, and Scott shares his business and life model that anyone could replicate.

Roberto Capodieci : Software Pirate to Blockchain Innovation
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Wednesday Feb 28, 2024
Innovation and entrepreneurship have been the themes of Roberto’s life. He has always been fascinated by cutting-edge of technology.
Roberto Capodieci was born in Italy near Venice and was a natural entrepreneur from age 5, making and selling stuff to buy more toys.
Elementary school bored him, so he dropped out he never went back, taking charge of his education and studying everything from business management to computer programming.
He did not attend college officially, although he sneaked into lectures that interested him.
At age ten, he started a computer and electronics club. It became a business when he was 14—he started as a software house selling thousands of pirated computer games. At the time, there was no law to prevent it. With so many callers to the house and so much cash, his parents thought he was selling drugs. While not true, it created a reputation that led to a surprising opportunity with law enforcement.
The business moved from pirated software to optical archiving of documents using the first Apple computers.
The credibility of age
By the time he was 19, he was the head of a large company employing 50 people. He had to employ older people to get the credibility of age. As one so young, he would pretend to be the janitor cleaning the floor so he could listen to his salespeople negotiate the deal.
Our conversation is rich in stories as he has worked in many countries commercially and as technical support in law enforcement environments. He even knocked on the door of the FBI and asked if he could help.
Roberto has 40 years of business behind him. It has always been about technology and innovation, so unsurprisingly, he has been instrumental in laying down the foundational aspects of blockchain applications, ensuring their relevance and applicability in various sectors.
Innovation and Blockchain
His contributions extend beyond the technical aspects, as he actively educates others, sharing his knowledge through speaking engagements, publications, and mentorship.
On this show, we glimpse what is possible with decentralization and how it could protect everything from the food on your plate to life-saving medicine.
Interestingly, he started his business on pirated software, and today, as an advocate of blockchain, he is at the forefront of preventing Piracy.

Rocky Lalvani Take the first step now.
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
Wednesday Feb 14, 2024
I am on a project for the next two weeks, so I thought to reshare this episode from August 2022. The beauty of this podcast is the value of these life stories, which never change; there is always something to learn.
On the show, I mention Focus coaching and tool to get you moving.
The link to focus Coaching is here, do book a free call, it will move you froward.
https://lifepassionandbusiness.com/focus-coaching/
Rocky Lalvani : Take the first step now
Are you setting your course, are you taking that first step?
My guest on the show is an example of someone living a good life by design a man who came from humble beginnings.
Rocky Lalvani was born in India, when he was two years old, the family emigrated to the US, and while it was a great opportunity, the family had to start at the bottom.
It was a tough beginning, but they worked hard as immigrant families do, the American dream inspired them, and they built their wealth.
During Rocky’s early life, there were lots of success and money conversations with other ex-pat communities. While listening to these family chats, he learned the importance of negotiation and how to hustle.
Starting with his paper route, he discovers how good service leads to good tips. At college, he was buying and selling stuff until he secured a real-estate licence to sell properties.
After finishing high school and going to college, he did a degree in Economics and went out into the world to work.
He did many jobs and eventually built a solid business creating operational and management spreadsheets for small businesses.
Rocky’s challenge was that he found it almost impossible to take the first steps and move his life forward. Our conversation is not about the work he did but the wisdom he developed. We touch on mentors, health, fitness, food and more. All of the steps that help him move forward and build the life he wanted.
Today Rocky calls himself the Chief Profitability Adviser for business owners. He teaches them how to ensure they get paid and that they make pro

Scott Stonham : Time to Stop Chasing
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
Welcome to part 2 of my conversation with Scott. The first part of our conversation was about his life in the mobile phone and tech industry. The bit you will hear now is about the shift.
It was the point when he found clarity and stopped chasing money and fame.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our guest on the show is a lifelong Innovator; it was his driving passion until something changed. Innovation is that seed of possibility; it is that inspiration that takes us forward to a future that is yet to be defined.
We can all get excited by innovation and possibility, and at the same time, I have lived long enough to see the unintended consequences of our best inventions. This conversation is about motivation and wonder and how one gets lost when the passion gets distorted by money and the search for status.
It is an amazing story of an innovator. Scott Stonham is a Brit born and raised in West London, now living in Reading.
Technology was always his jam. Inspired by his uncle, who was an electrician, he tinkered and played with things to see how they worked. As a teenager, his uncle gave him a bank of switches, and he set about automating the gadgets in his room.
He was not the classic geek, being a bit of a rebel who was inspired by movies like “Back to the Future”, which led to him learning to Skateboard—the Karate Kid, which led to martial arts and finally, the Terminator. Which lead to a university degree in Cybernetics.
Upon leaving University, there was no cybernetics industry to join, so Scott went into software engineering and later got a job on Vodaphone.
Scott Stonham is a lifelong innovator.
This podcast is a fascinating exploration of innovation and the development of mobile applications in the late 90s at a time when there was no need for them. They were creating the business use and the market for the technology they were developing.
Our guest, Scott Stonham, has helped bring to life many of the innovations that we take for granted, from the Mobile Internet to Smartphone Navigation. Over the last 25 years he had senior technology and marketing roles for multi-nationals, including Vodafone, Qualcomm and edgy technology start-ups in the UK, Europe and the USA.
Today, Scott focuses his energy on driving positive impacts for people, nature and the planet. He is driven by the UN sustainable development goals and channels his work through two ventures:
Leading an accelerator for Impact Startups and helping companies understand and address their digital carbon footprints.
Scott is an advisor, speaker, and author of the Exploring Digital Carbon Footprints report, a contributor to the Open University and the founder of Digital Carbon Online.

Angel Ribo – The CEO Confidant
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
With other projects taking priority over editing this week, I thought to share this recording from March 2021. Angel Rebo, known as the CEO of Confidant, heads a consultancy for international business expansion and a charity teaching entrepreneurship to kids in Latin America.
The Money Experiment
How is your money thinking? I will keep reminding you because this stuff is more important than ever; I have done two shows with my thoughts: Money Bags and Thought and Money.
Check them out and or follow the money experiment link. it is about changing our relationship with the energy of money. That relationship with money is why lottery winners nearly always end up back where they started.
Promo Over Enjoy the show.
Today's guest on the show was born in Spain in a small town outside Barcelona. Angel Ribo, known as the CEO Confidant, heads a consultancy for international business expansion and a charity teaching entrepreneurship to kids in Latin America.
Scroll down for contact details and/or links regarding this Podcast
Languages were an early factor in his future success, Spanish, Catalan, French, English and Portuguese.
College Life
He went to college in the big city of Barcelona to study Engineering and Computer Coding. College life was good; he got his degree but realised that it was not going to be his career.
During college, he volunteered at the 1992 Olympic Games as part of the team, managing the scoring and stats for the volleyball competition. That was where he discovered the joy of working in teams as part of a bigger project.
Out of college and having established software and coding were not for him, he looked for work, and the universe helped. He took on an International Relations role at his college, a perfect opportunity to use his language skills and travel.
The big break came when Angel was headhunted by an Audiovisual Projects company in Barcelona, more project and teamwork with creative professionals.
The Joy of Travel
His degree was put to good use in 1999 when he moved to the UK and found work with an international company selling Software and Training. Living in the UK and working for a US company opened the door to sales, networking and lots of travel.
Over the last 21 years, Angel has empowered more than 1,500 CEOs in 33 different countries. He is a Public Speaker, CEO Consultant, Board Member, and Philanthropist and has lived in 8 countries.
Angel Ribo Has Two Missions In Life.
1) The non-profit Wisdom for Kids. There are 81 million children living in poverty in Latin America. “Wisdom for Kids” has already supported over 1000 families, and half of his coaching fee goes straight to the organisation.
2) The second mission is connected to the first, inspiring CEOs to give back to the world.
Our conversation is a journey of exploration, travel and discovery. I hope you enjoy the conversation with Angel Ribo.

David Kitchen : The Leadership Edge
Wednesday Jan 10, 2024
Wednesday Jan 10, 2024
The leadership edge: Leadership is one of the vital human qualities that many say is missing in our modern world; what is the leadership edge, and how do we find it?
My guest, David Kitchen, found his leadership edge on the football field. David was born into a single-parent family in Berwick, Pennsylvania. It was a loving child with the usual frustrations and challenges of growing up that needed an outlet.
David was always a big lad, and that opened the door to American football, a perfect place to express his rage and passion for life. While in high school, he played well, and the scholarship offers came in, and there was every possibility that he would get to play professionally.
However, injury meant those offers did not happen. While David got a scholarship, coupled with his attitude, no professional career awaited him.
Our conversation is an insight into the game and what it is like to play at the level. Following university, a career in sales followed. It was lots of travelling and meeting people, it did not light the fire. David could not forget his love for football; he needed to get back in the game but from the other side.
He took an internship as a football coach, studied for the coach exams and at the age of 24, became the youngest coach at any university. It started a successful ten-year career, leading from the field. The key to David’s success is his vulnerability and willingness to share his mistakes and show how he overcame them. With his head coach leaving it was time to reflect on his future. Realising that his journey through coaching was the blueprint for successful leadership, he started a new business.
Today, David has successfully brought his skills from the football field into business and leadership. He is a published author, speaker and leadership coach.
The Million Dollar Experiment
There is still time; while the experiment has started, the option to join is still open, and it is only $25. Check out the show if you want to know why the price is so low.

Olly Hermon-Taylor : Building A Life To Love
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
I am travelling this week, so I thought to share a show from last year with Olly Herman-Taylor.
The show is about brand building, entrepreneurship, holistic marketing, health and fitness and living a life that feeds us. It is a deep conversation about the world in which we live, how to find your story and the path towards your best life.
Images, shapes, and forms have always inspired Olly Herman-Taylor. While at school, he discovered a passion for design and spent his days doodling, creating logos, and drawing.
At college, he got a degree in English; on leaving, he went into the building industry, working on-site in the family business. Carrying bricks up and down ladders made him strong and fit, giving him an appreciation for movement and using his body.
But the inspiration to design was calling; it was music or clothes; feeling he might be tone deaf he chose clothes.
Olly started a t-shirt design business producing and selling shirts on the London street markets. But T-shirts would never make him rich, so he looked to his other passion, snowboarding.
Coming up with a unique design for a snowboarding jacket, he located a company that agreed to produce them if he could sell 500 jackets. He returned with an order for 5000, and his business was born.
He was just 23 and starting a business with no plan, which worked.
For seven years, he did some fantastic stuff, creating a lifestyle business and taking it to over a million pounds, but that journey involved compromise, and it stopped feeding his soul. Now, with a young family, he sold the brand and took time to be with his kids and consider his next steps.
He transitioned to Health and Fitness and set about creating a natural fitness brand, and this time, life did not roll so easy seven years later. He was depressed, in debt and unhappy.
Our conversation is about his journey out of the hole he had created. He discovered the darker sides of marketing in the fitness industry. As mentioned, it is a deep conversation about this world and what the system will do to us when we allow it.
Today, Olly Herman-Taylor calls himself a Bio Hacker and high-performance coach. He helps entrepreneurs upgrade their mindset, transform their health, uncover their purpose and create a life they love.

Erin McCullough : Finding Your Joy
Wednesday Nov 01, 2023
Wednesday Nov 01, 2023
Taking an editing break while focusing on a new project this week, so as we all like to find a little joy in life, I thought to share this show from 2021, all about finding it for yourself.
Finding Your Joy explores thoughts, feelings and anxiety with today's guest, Erin McCullough. She reveals how finding joy is possible at any time and that we do not have to do anything to matter. We are always relevant, and our existence is enough.
Erin had no idea what to expect when she agreed to couples therapy. During the first session, she had an unexpected reaction, which the counsellor explained was a panic attack. She had never experienced a panic attack before, nor had she any awareness of her suppressed emotions.
“It was a defence mechanism not to feel the emotions of when I was a kid.”
Our conversation explores the life transitions that occurred for her through a near-fatal accident, divorce and meeting the man of her dreams on the first 'swipe-right'. It's also a story about the baggage we carry always, wherever we go.
Towards the end of the podcast, there is an exercise to explore and discover your own joy.

Dr Michael Gerharz : Communicate with Clarity
Wednesday Oct 25, 2023
Wednesday Oct 25, 2023
How do we communicate with clarity? It is about using the right words at the right time to the right people. As a communicator, I am very aware of the power of my words. There have been times when I have used the wrong words and got into trouble.
Our interview is about the power of communication, and our guest on the show today is a master. It has become his mission to help leaders across the globe find the right words and make a bigger impact.
Dr Michael Gerharz was born in Near Koln in Germany. His first passion was music. The guitar became his instrument of choice, and as he progressed through education, he enjoyed jazz and studied classical music.
There came a decision point: music or follow his second love, computer science. It was the 90s, a time of unlimited opportunity in this new, exciting field.
After his degree, he became a researcher and programmer and got his Ph.D. in Communications Systems. He had arrived in the computer industry just as the internet became a thing and was there at the birth of mobile phones and networks.
The inability to communicate with clarity
Throughout his work in research, he became aware of how many brilliant ideas or projects failed because of the inability to communicate and use words well. That realisation has led to a whole new career as an author and a communications coach.
Our conversation is about his journey through music and computers. It is about the common thread that unites them.
Michael started his exploration of communication with a daily blog, now with over 800 posts. He is the author of the book “ Leaders Light the Path” and hosts the “Irresistible Communication“ podcast.

Noomi Naton : Inner Power Revisited.
Wednesday Sep 20, 2023
Wednesday Sep 20, 2023
As I am travelling this week there is no time for editing, so thought to take us back to a popular show with Noomi Naton. Back on Sunday with a shortcast.
Our conversation is about discovering inner power but as with all stories, the journey is never a straight line.
On the show, you will discover the power of changing chairs and a helpful question “ How can I be more of me and have a greater impact.”
Noomi Natan was born in Copenhagen, at nineteen, most of her friends were travelling. In Denmark, it is common to take a generous gap year before completing a university education. She was working at a temporary job in advertising and wondered if she could live and work in London.
She could and found a job in a sound studio, before hopping across the pond for a 3-month internship in the US Congress. All of that experience led her back to Copenhagen to complete a degree in journalism, although she had no intention of being a journalist.
Education over she returned to London and secures a great job in commercial conference production for the mobile games industry, which was booming.
She was crazy successful for a while, with money and lifestyle. That was until the pressure, overwork, and perfectionism eroded her ability to function. She was miserable much of the time and cried in the toilet.
The crunch came when she was asked to run a project she did not want. She had to work US hours from a London office and struggled without support.
At this point, a coach friend said to her, “ you know you could speak to a doctor and get signed off from work?”
That was the beginning of moving out of the mobile industry.
Our conversation explores coaching and how that fits with the path towards a good life. We look at success and why it can be a difficult journey, contribution and, of course, the big question, what is it all for?
Finding her Inner Power
Noomi describes herself as a recovered perfectionist and a practical idealist who dreams of a world, which is safe for everyone. What a lovely idea. As you will hear on the show, she took her first coaching call 15 years ago and was instantly hooked.
Since then, she has developed her process and specialises in deeply transformational work and helping clients in a wide range of industries, from the owners of micro-businesses to CEOs of prominent household names.

Jeremy Lasman : The Duality of Passion
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
In part two of my chat with Jeremy Lasman, we discuss the duality of passion and how it can be both bliss and suffering. We can push ourselves to an extreme because of our passion for it.
I have pushed my body because of my commitment to running. During that marathon situation, toward the end, everything was hurting, and my body was screaming that I should stop. But my inner drive, my passion, kept me going.
Jeremy was employee 110 at SpaceX. He was there at the beginning and part of the team that made it happen. Check out part one to hear the whole story
This conversation is a deep dive into Jeremy’s thoughts on how our passion is the source of innovation and creativity.
We cover the duality of passion
How our passion separates us from the impact of AI
The impact of leadership through passion.
