Tom Libelt : Music, Business & Life
Wednesday Mar 02, 2022
Wednesday Mar 02, 2022
Tom Libelt's story expresses the impact that a hard upbringing can have on a young man, how he experienced the realities of a corrupt communist country and the struggle as immigrants coming to America.
Tom was never going to follow the working path of his parents. His journey to wealth and freedom started with music, but he has owned a coffee shop, a retail store, a record label, created and filmed a documentary, and released two albums with five hits on top ten Polish radio. Today he has a thriving business in online course creation.
As I am on a break from editing, this show is a re-release. It was popular when it came out, and as it highlights the challenges many people face escaping communist rule, it seem pertinent to share it with you again today.

Alexis Haselberger : Lazy Success
Wednesday Feb 16, 2022
Wednesday Feb 16, 2022
Some people let the day or week just sweep them along in a wave of things that need doing. That is a phrase that stuck with me from my conversation with Alexis Haselberger.
I was reminded of this again when a social media backlash was directed at Molly-Mae Hague the creative director of ‘PrettyLittleThing’ when she said on a podcast “we all have the same 24 hours in a day.” The backlash was about privilege, but the point is she was both right and wrong because the wealthier we are, the more we get to choose how we use our time. Yet even limited hours used wisely can make a massive difference between meeting our basic needs or creating the life we truly desire.
I have said before, watching Netflix and hoping things will get better is not going to solve anyone’s problems. However, if you are looking for the lazy route to success, this could be the show for you.
Alexis Haselberger is a super-organizer. Ever since childhood, she has planned her life, not because she is driven to a career or great achievement, but because she is a self confessed lazy person who wants to maximize her time doing what she wants. In her own words…
“My efficiency was driven by my laziness and I refer to myself as a very driven lazy person”
Today Alexis is a Time Management and Productivity Coach helping people do more with less stress. She offers coaching, workshops and online courses. She says it’s all about finding what works for you.
Please take this opportunity to join me in welcoming this conversion with Alexis Haselberger.

Shortcast : Action Resistance
Monday Feb 07, 2022
Monday Feb 07, 2022
Are you taking action or sitting in resistance. Or worse, are you tricking yourself with non-action?
We all want to achieve things, make our goals and intentions happen and live a better life. It is easy to create vision boards and 90-day letters, but for some reason moving forward can often be tricky.
Why is it so hard to take action towards the life we say we want?
In this show, we explore that question, and you get to hear where I am at with some of this stuff.
We look at the non-action tricks that we play on ourselves. These are often actions that make us feel like we are moving forward even though we are not. We affirm why writing stuff down is non-negotiable in our quest to build the life we want. And after all that, we explore tasks and strategies to help you move out of resistance and into the life you want.
Life Passion & Business Podcast is about finding answers to life’s big questions through weekly interviews with guest speakers. The Shortcast is my ongoing commitment to staying inquisitive and passionate about life with whatever is alive for me each week. Follow the links below to discover what else is on offer

Scott Stokely : Wealthy & Homeless
Thursday Feb 03, 2022
Thursday Feb 03, 2022
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 discussion, we discuss the gap between thought and implementation, fear and failure and the evidence that life always works out.
There are specific rules that people like to live by. One of them is that we have a place to live, somewhere to call home, sleep and keep our things. But who said that was a rule?
Could you live a nomadic life on the road traveling from city to city and living in hotels? That is the life that my guest Scott Stokely has chosen, and 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, and when he started in the sport 30 years ago, the game was in its infancy. He left home and set out to become a professional player with no plan B. What is so unique about the conversation is that he has always jumped into things.
Scott is an entrepreneur and a good one. He always had innate confidence in himself, 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 how he invented the funding model that most professional disc gold players 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.

Michael Harvey : Story, Myth & Magic
Wednesday Jan 26, 2022
Wednesday Jan 26, 2022
Over the last few weeks, I have been talking extensively on the Sunday Shortcast about stories and the importance of having a narrative for the life we want to live.
I believe that story is a fundamental part of who we are; our story gives life its meaning. But there is more; through the sharing of stories, we find resonance with others, we build community bonds and stronger friendships. However, the digital world has commoditised it and we are surrounded by stories from music, film and social media. To some extent, as humans, we have lost the art of the shared narrative.
If there is one thing that all of the top entrepreneurs have in common, it is the ability to bring people together under a shared narrative. A story of how life could be better if…
With all of that in mind, I am excited to bring you today’s guest Michael Harvey (no relation), a professional storyteller.
As you will hear in this show, his vocation found him. You will discover the difference between performance and storytelling; how a well told story creates the illusion of time stopping. Our conversation covers, his journey through myth and magic and we touch on archetypes like the ‘Hero’s Journey’. Michael also introduces us to the Mabinogion, a Welsh tale of lust and war from the middle ages.

Shortcast : What Makes You Smile?
Sunday Jan 23, 2022
Sunday Jan 23, 2022
In today’s shortcast I am asking, what happens to your face when you think about your goals and intentions? What makes you smile?
When I first moved to Scotland, I became a freelance advisor on the business network, supporting solo entrepreneurs and small business owners to get their projects moving. Over those three years I spoke to hundreds of people, offering them a combination of suggestions, encouragement and coaching.
I remember one appointment with a lady who was starting a cleaning business. She had been very efficient; she knew the kind of services she should offer and who to supply, it was a comprehensive business plan. But listening to her speak, I could see she was bored; there was no real heart in the conversation. Although she had been thorough in her planning it was clear this business was never going to put a smile on her face.
As we were rounding up the appointment, I casually asked her what else she did. She began talking about Highland Dancing. That’s when her face lit up with a big smile and a sparkle in her eyes. The transformation was startling and we continued to have an animated conversation about her life in dance. It was very clear where her passion and energy was.
Before I left, I did drop a suggestion or two in that direction. I didn’t meet her again so I don’t know how things transpired, but sincerely hope she’s following her passion and doing well.
So, the question is, what’s happening to your face now? Are you still thinking about the same goals and intentions or has this story taken you down another path all together?
What makes you smile?
I’m inviting you to hold on to that that thought, whilst I talk some more on this topic, why some things work when others don’t and exploring where resistance comes from. Let’s see if we can find that smile for you.

Simon Jordan : Tribute To A Friend
Wednesday Dec 29, 2021
Wednesday Dec 29, 2021
Simon Jordan was my first ever podcast guest, but he was also a friend and someone I admired. Our connection goes back nearly 10 years, so it was a bit of a shock when I learned that he had died just before Christmas. This podcast is a tribute to the man and his legacy:
- Branding wisdom on his main website and Simon Jordan YouTube channel
- #5ThingsClear environmental project – cleaning beaches across the worlds
- One Planet One Place environmental YouTube channel with loads of inspiring videos
- His latest book Simplicity of Success
(Links to these and other resources below)
I was first introduced to Simon when our kids were at school together and we worked remotely on some publicity for an event. At the time I saw him as the pinstripe man, a brand specialist with a YouTube channel called Simon Jordan TV. We stayed in touch through our social channels, connecting and having many great chats, on the phone or Skype.
I witnessed his transition from the suits to outdoor gear, climbing mountains and cold water swimming. The new, more genuine Simon became a bit of a hero for me. So when I started the podcast four years ago he was my first choice of guest. Simon stood for everything that Life Passion & Business is about.
The recording you are about to hear was the interview I did with Simon as part of our Reasons & Results virtual event that took place in August 2020. We called it ‘Taking Aligned Action’. I hope you enjoy my last conversation with Simon Jordan, he was an amazing man and I will miss him.
Be well my friend, it is clear that you have touched many in your short life and you clearly made a difference and contributed to so much.

Sustainable Future Initiative Pt.3 : Casey Grey
Wednesday Dec 08, 2021
Wednesday Dec 08, 2021
Today's conversation with Casey Grey is Part 3 of my ‘Sustainable Future Initiatives’ series. The topic is Buildings; our homes and businesses, the places we spend most of our waking hours. Which is exactly why they are so important in our efforts to reduce our reliance on carbon fuels.
We all want to live and work in comfortable spaces that are warm in winter and cool in the summer. That means heating, cooling and insulation, and just better buildings. So when I received a message from Casey Grey to say that he builds passive houses, I was excited to hook up and have a conversation.
Like any father, Casey wants to be a great role model for his children. So when it comes to sustainability, that means consciously working towards solutions in his construction business.
I hope you will join me for an interesting insight into the huge potential that could literally be on our doorsteps.

Sustainable Future Initiatives Pt.2 : David Farquhar
Wednesday Nov 17, 2021
Wednesday Nov 17, 2021
This conversation with David Farquhar is Part 2 of my ‘Sustainable Future Initiatives’ series. David is truly a serial entrepreneur who came out of retirement to head up ‘Intelligent Growth Solutions’ (IGS).
It started with a phone call in 2017… “David, would you like to see my dad’s R&D Project, it is a vertical farm.” After some initial reluctance, he went to visit the project.
“It totally blew my mind, it sits at the nexus of food and environment. Its feed the world and will do it sustainably.”
To give you a bit of background about why I wanted David on the show. The population of the world is growing and is expected to hit 8 to 9 billion by 2050. What with climate change and other factors reducing our capacity. Food production will be the next challenge going forward.
Over the next 50 years, the world will need 30% more food, using less water and less land. Vertical farming is about growing food indoors under controlled conditions and it promises to deliver real food and real change for people in the most difficult places of the world.

Rael Bricker : Speaking For Success
Wednesday Oct 27, 2021
Wednesday Oct 27, 2021
Following a life transition in 2015, today’s guest Rael Bricker, turned an early passion into a way of speaking for success that supports others.
Born in South Africa during apartheid, Rael was not politically active, but from an early age he was conscious that he did not fit the standard model expected of him. He developed a way of bucking authority whilst still being respectful and this has paved the way for what he does today.

Claudia Goetzelmann : Living Photography
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Wednesday Oct 13, 2021
Claudia Goetzelmann has a knack for seeking out the hidden beauty in people and in situations, even in death. She also has an implicit trust that life will support her. How does she use this to express her passion? Through photography, and coaching women through midlife transitions.
If you listened to my shortcast a couple of weeks ago, you will know that I danced with the idea of going into photography when I left school. I allowed myself to be persuaded that this was not a good idea and my life took a very different path.
Claudia’s passion for photography started a lot earlier in life. At just four years old she started taking pictures with a little Kodak camera which is still a treasured family possession. Maybe it was this long romance with photography that eventually gave her the courage to follow her dream career, even though she was strongly advised against it by her German parents.

Shaahin Cheyene : Rags To Riches
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
Wednesday Sep 29, 2021
This week's conversation with Shaahin Cheyene is a classic true life Rags to Riches story. From poor beginnings, Shaahin made more money before he was 20 than most of us could make in many lifetimes. So, although this podcast isn't about building financial wealth, I was intrigued to find out what motivates someone to get out of bed each morning when they don't need to.
Faking his ID, Shaahin found work and lived rough in abandoned buildings or cars. That is where he discovered the Rave Scene and loved it. It fitted his life style, plus there were people making lots of money. This was the era of MDMA or Ecstasy and it was the drug dealers who ran the scene and accumulated wealth.
A life of crime was not what he was looking for, but it did get him thinking about the possibility of making something like Ecstasy that was not illegal.
“I was Foolish enough to not know I could fail”
That naive faith did the trick and Shaahin was successful in developing the first legal Herbal Ecstasy. With equal blind faith, he managed to persuade the drug dealers to believe in him and within just a few years the product was available in 30,000 stores across the USA. Shaahin was not even 20 years old when his company hit $1Billion in sales.
Shaahin Cheyene's story is about making it big early in life and not stopping there. He went on to create more world-changing inventions; the first mind-enhancing Nootropics and early work with Vaping systems. He holds patents on numerous ideas and inventions and has also written 4 books. His latest entitled ‘Billion’ came out last month.
I hope you enjoy this lively exchange with Shaahin Cheyene and that you find inspiration from his story.
The ‘Amazon Mastery’ course is available via his website and there is a video on his home page where you can access the course by clicking the orange button in the top right corner.
His new book ‘Billion’ covers the full story of his amazing life journey and he has a YouTube channel and his own podcast ‘Hack and Grow Rich”.
