Today’s guest is Tracy Lamourie and our conversation topic is Activism and International PR. Tracy always wanted to be a writer or a journalist, so began with the school newspaper. By nature Tracy has always been an activist. With striking red hair and a wicked sense of humor I can see why she is now an undeniable force in the world. Today she is an award-winning international publicist, but that wasn’t her original plan.
She met her husband, Dave Parkinson through a chance meeting when she was in her early 20s. Together they explored their mutual interest in advocacy work, racism, sexism and activism. They co-hosted a radio show called Uppercut on CIUT Toronto where they explored these topics.
Building A Reputation In Activism & PR
Tracy and Dave became advocates for Jimmy Dennis while exploring the arena of wrongful convictions and the death penalty state side. Their campaign secured Jimmy’s release in 2015, by which time he had been on death row for 20 years. Tracy’s drive and passion to get Jimmy’s story heard is what contributed to his freedom today. Since his release Jimmy has become a recording artist.
Tracy has always been passionate about human rights and giving a voice to the unrepresented. Working on the campaign for Jimmy and others enabled her to develop her skills in PR and Media relations. She has learned how to harness this power to the best advantage.
“Over the years our pro bono work got our advocacy featured in media worldwide from Der Speigal in Germany to CNN to the front pages of newspapers in Florida and Texas”
Tracy’s Media & PR Business
Recognising this was her niche, Tracy began developing it as her business in 2015. The business is now known as Lamourie Media and her success is signified with Media and PR awards. Tracy is known as a Public Relations thought leader and is frequently quoted on Human Rights issues. She is also a regular guest on TV, Radio and Podcasts worldwide on topics of ‘Leadership, Empowerment, and Entrepreneurship’.
“With my clients, I seek to amplify, elevate and celebrate.”
Tracy has a lot to say. She is sharp witted and has drive, passion, which is probably the contributing factor for the reason she speaks quickly. I had to slow her down a few times to take it all in, but I hope you enjoy this fast pacing conversation with Tracy Lamourie.

This week’s topic is Hummus & Hobbies with Ziad Zammer. Born in Lebanon, Ziad moved to Australia when he was 3 years old and at 10 he returned to Lebanon. He stayed there for 6 years before returning once again to Australia where he has lived ever since. His life is a fusion of both cultures.
Enjoying the Podcast? Let me know or show your support…
At high school in Australia, Ziad did Business Studies and hated it. Which brought him to the decision that physical work was the better option.
He found work in the mines and stayed for few years, becoming became a driller. This inspired him to explore the oil and gas industry. That led him back into study, he achieved a Bachelors degree in Petroleum and Drilling Engineering.
Working in the industry was good, well paid but not enough, and he longed to do more. In Arab culture, food is a big part of family life. So he decided the restaurant business was the place to fulfil his true potential. However, he had no knowledge or experience, and as it is often said,
If you want to loose money, start a restaurant”
My jaw dropped when Ziad said he managed the kitchen but hated cooking. But none of this stopped him. Working with his ex-wife Kaitlin Eterovich in 2016, they opened a Lebanese Arab fusion restaurant called The Hummus Club
This project is an example of being willing to take on a challenge with the purpose to fulfil a bigger objective.
Starting a new 100 seater restaurant business with 25 new staff, and none of them having any idea what they were doing might be considered crazy. And that’s how it looked for a while. Day one, nothing happened. Day two got better and within a few weeks, the restaurant was serving 100 plus covers a night.
This is an amazing story of how a project can be successful with passion and purpose at the helm. We talk about leadership, self-awareness, the wake call and the mistakes made along the way.
This is about values and failures and acceptance of who we are.
My conversation with Ziad is very candid and unexpected. His main reason for doing the podcast was to talk about his Baseball Card Collecting compulsion. So along with the highs and lows of being a restaurateur, there are some deep issues in this conversation. Amongst others they include the psychology of collecting.
There is one point in where he turns the tables on me and my inspiration for podcasting. Which gave me an interesting challenge.
Thank you for joining me with Ziad Zammer for Hummus & Hobbies. His links are below along with opportunities to enjoy more podcasts and resources on Life Passion & Business.

Today’s guest is Russ Avery, Eco Entrepreneur and Specialist Marketer for Sustainable Businesses. He was brought up in Helensburgh on Scotland’s north western coast.
Growing up under the influence of David Attenborough on TV, he had an outdoor childhood. Because of this he developed an early appreciation of the natural world that called him into his future career.
He is a sustainability marketing consultant. Both of these are close to my own passion and interest, so we had to be careful not to get too carried away. If you have listened to my previous shows, you will know I can easily go down a rabbit hole with my guests.
From Languages to Sustainability
In education, Russ was a natural with languages and studied French and Spanish to an advanced level. University followed, and breaking the pattern, he chose a degree in French and Russian.
However a language degree is not that vocational, and on leaving Exeter University, in 2007 his future was unclear. By 2009 he had settled on the idea of sustainability. So taking a course with the Open University opened the door to his first break in the industry.
A New Career
Russ’ first job was with Seaweb which is a small ocean conservation charity. They raise awareness of overfishing, sea acidification and bridging the gap between science and communications.
Our conversation follows how Russ found his ikigai when he moved into the sustainability sector. This is what ultimately started his marketing consultancy to help sustainable businesses communicate well.
Russ is a natural connector of people, so we had a wide-ranging chat. So we covered how social media and networking played a pivotal role in his business journey.
Naturally we talked about sustainability and how business is changing. We also talked about how you can make a difference in your own life with just a straightforward change of attitude.
I hope you enjoy this Life Passion & Business Podcast with Russ Avery Eco Entrepreneur.

My guest on the show today 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, 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, and it is to inspire 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.

My guest on the show is Marques Ogden, NFL Player, Entrepreneur, and in different times Keynote Speaker.
Marques had some excellent family role models in his early years and was brought up to believe anything is possible. In high school, a visiting NFL football player inspired him to work towards a dream.
Scroll down for contact details and/or links regarding this Podcast
It was his dedication to focus and hard work that won him a scholarship and a place at Howard University in Washington DC. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, with an emphasis on construction and cost accounting.
But more than that, he was the first and only young man to be drafted (while at college) to the National Football League with the Jacksonville Jaguars, playing offensive lineman. The average NFL player gets 18-24 months at the professional level. Marques stayed at the professional level for 6 years, building a solid career with the Jaguars, the Baltimore Ravens, the Buffalo Bills, and the Tennessee Titans
As said, he played well beyond the average, but the body can only take so much before the injuries get serious. At 27 he hung up the helmet and padding and went to find a life as an entrepreneur.
Along with his dedication to hard work and focus, this is when the degree in construction paid off. It allowed him and his business partner to create one of the fastest-growing companies in Baltimore, Maryland, for 2010. However, rapid growth can lead to a significant fall, and that fall was deep.
Within 3 years he lost everything. His home, cars and his pride.
“I was a Millionaire in April 2012 by April 2013
I had just $400 to my name. and that was it. ”
Taking Any Job He Could Get
Playing with the NFL, Marques was on $20,000 a week; after lots of searching, the only work he could find was a custodian on the graveyard shift at $8.25/ hour.
Our conversation is the journey of his highs and lows. It takes time and dedication to get back on track and this is a beautiful story of financial rediscovery and contribution.
Today Marques has a mission to inspire accountably within people so they discover the passion and drive to get on and achieve greatness.
He is currently a Keynote Speaker, Executive Coach, Best-selling Author and Marketing Leader, helping to build others’ success.
I hope you enjoy the conversation with Marques Ogden.

Today’s guest is Cathy Nesbitt who has has been a vermiculture champion for over 20 years (that’s worm composting to you and me).
Being ‘a lady of a certain age’ her working life started with few options: Teacher, Nurse or Secretary. She chose the latter, and had a 20-year career as secretary and PA working for some prestigious companies. Whilst this work was fine, it was not her passion. The shift to something more inspiring began when volunteering at a nursing home. She became interested in Psychology and was inspired to study so joined a night school class whilst continuing to work full time at her day job.
After finishing with a qualification, she looked for an opportunity to use and explore her new skills and found a place working with challenged adults.
“This is why I was put on earth to be a social worker, until I met management, wow did not expect the politics.”
Little actions can lead to big changes and in the 1990s, most developed countries were having problems with waste. Canada was no exception, landfills in Toronto had become full, and trash was being exported to US landfill sites. Looking to do her bit, Cathy started composting at home and encouraging others to do the same.
A work injury in 2001 lead Cathy to consider new options and she decided to start her own business. That was the start of what has now been a 20-year journey with composting and worms.
Throughout the years, Cathy has won over 20 green business and community support composting awards. She has published over 300 articles and has been on TV and radio both local and national.
Not being one to stand still, Cathy is also a certified Laughter Yoga Leader, Teacher and Laughter Ambassador. So her life has a theme of worms, bean sprouts and laughter. Her personal mission is to promote simple solutions for today’s challenges.

My guest on the show today is Israeli born, diamond expert Isaac Mostovicz.
We begin his story at the age of 26 when he was offered a senior role with diamond manufacturer Muller & Sons. A life-changing opportunity for him and his family which meant relocating to Antwerp, Belgium.
In the 1980’s business was booming and it was an exciting time for diamond manufacturers. Isaac was eager and inspired to be in the luxury diamond market where he pioneered new styles of cutting and polishing precious stones.
His passion and dedication turned the factory into one of the very best in the industry. He achieved that success by giving his production team the freedom and encouragement to express their personality as true artisans through diamond polishing.
Success brought rewards and he became the CEO of the company, earning him both respect and reputation within the industry. Sales were good, so money was good, but Isaac could see the industry was flawed and he had questions.
The company’s success opened the door to conversations with some of the biggest names in the diamond industry. In every meeting, Isaac asked the same question, “Why do people buy diamonds?”
Isaac was troubled with the answers he received, and it led him on a quest to find the truth for himself. He threw himself into study, completing his MBA and a PhD in luxury marketing and consumer behaviour. He achieved all of this whilst still running his successful business, which gave him a distinct advantage for selling into luxury markets.
However, like many luxury markets, the diamond business was a house of cards that collapsed with the 2008 financial crash. After 40 years, Isaac was out of work.
This conversation takes us on a journey through the history of diamonds, covering the rise and fall of the business through the eyes of someone who lived and saw the crash coming. It continues with Isaac’s recovery and reinvention and expresses the importance of engaging the heart to impassion the journey of business development.
Today Isaac works with C-suite decision-makers and founders to emotionally reconnect them to their business. He has researched and coached C-suite decision-makers on leadership, ethics, (corporate social responsibility and corporate governance.

Remy Blumenfeld began is professional life in front of the camera on US television as a reporter on arts and entertainment. However, his interests have always been in society’s edges, and in the early 90s, that meant giving a platform and a voice to the issues of race and gender.
Leaving the US, he moved to the UK and started a production company with a co-founder, initially from his bedroom in a crime-ridden area of London. He had no previous experience of running a business, but that did not stop them.
Remy and his co-founder established Brighter Pictures, producing the first Asian pop culture show for BBC2 and a black music show for British Channel 4, a programme that aired for nine years.
He is credited with over 30 original television series and is the TV format creator of ‘There’s Something About Miriam‘, ‘Gay, Straight or Taken?‘, ‘Wudja Cudja‘ and ‘Undercover Lovers‘.
Remy ran Brighter Pictures for 10 years, building a solid reputation in managing creative teams and making successful TV programmes. He sold the company to Endemol (creators of Big Brother) in 2001 and continued working in the company until 2004.
Our conversation is not about his TV work, it is about his transition into supporting creative founders to find the edge and explore their passion. It is about helping the next generation of creatives reach goals and avoiding some of the deep failures and pitfalls that he experienced during his career. Some of those mistakes cost him millions.
“Success is about Balance having a life where energy time and resources are shared between the things that are important to us.”
Remy is a deep thinker, and this was a rich conversation that explores his journey and changing career. It has not been all roses and success; there were failures and low points. There was a near-death experience that led him to look at life again and consider what was important.
” In my hospital bed with hours to live, they let me sleep with my dog, and I survived…”
Remy Blumenfeld is a prolific write and commenter, with articles in Forbes, the Independent Newspaper, the New York Times and the Sunday Times.
He is considered one of the world’s leading business coaches and advisor for the creative industry, with clients in film, tv, advertising, publishing and the gaming sector.
His latest project is called “Stand Out” it is a 9 module online programme, a course for creative founders. Remy saw the need for a programme to fill the missing gap that all creative founders experience, just as he did when he launched his first company.
“People get into show business and they focus on the show, they hope the business will look after itself, but it is the business that makes it work.”
Remy’s journey has been a life-changing experience, and I am so delighted he took some time to share his story with me.

My guest on today’s programme is Natsume Oki, a young woman living in Japan, a YouTube host, a Business Advisor and an Author who has ‘a passion to contribute to the human race”. That was one of the first things she said in our introductory conversation.
Natsune was brought up in an entrepreneurial Japanese family living in Japan but struggled with the cultural hierarchy of Japanese society, where to be humble means to work hard and stay where you are. She always knew that business for her was the answer to create the futureshe wanted.
Attending college with a view to taking a business degree, within a year she made the bold decision to move to America. Despite her limited grasp of the English language or resources to fall back on, she trusted her instinct to follow through on this drive to break out of her culture.
Her arrival in Seattle began an 8-year journey in Tech Startup and during this time she established a sexy clothing brand and created a company that supports international project management. She is committed to supporting Japanese businesses to grow both at home and abroad.
The eight years in the Start-Up community taught her about business development and project planning. She developed her own systems using the Japanese principle of IKIGAI which led to the publication of her book ‘The Game of Self-Domination’ a guidebook about self-discovery and achieving lifelong success.
Today Natsume’s focus is on her YouTube Channel ‘LifeupeducationTV’ about entertainment and education featuring stories of high achievers across a wide variety of industries from entertainment to technology.
“I want to help humanity make progress”
Natsune Oki’s story is about the Fusion of East meeting West, she is a powerful woman who will achieve whatever goal she can dream of.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Natsune as much as I did. if you would like to connect with her you can find her on:

My guest on the show today is a successful speaker & presenter on the world stage and now an author. Dawna Campbell, like many who follow the classic career 'success' model reached the point where it almost crushed her.
When Dawna was nine, her mum asked her what she wanted to do with her life. Joining Greenpeace and saving the whales was her first choice. Her mum was unconvinced that it was the right life choice and suggested a more professional vocation.
“Be a Doctor lawyer or even a scientist.”
It was that conversation that set her on the path towards a professional career in finance. After years of study, College degrees and security exams, she moved into the finance industry and became passionate about helping middle-class families get the finance they needed for a better life.
After ten years in the industry, with the stress and anxiety burning her out from the inside, her body was giving up. With years of ongoing ill health and even surgery, in desperation and looking for a solution, she found an alternative route that put her on a new path of discovery.
Since 2010 Dawna has been known as the ‘Mind Whisperer’. She combines her past knowledge, wisdom, and experience to help people restore life and move towards happiness, prosperity, and love.
Over that last year Dawna has combined her 25 years of professional experience in the finance and alternative sector to create a book:
It brings together the financial world, the energy body, and the soul’s essence.
When free to do so, Dawna travels as a motivational speaker and workshop leader. She is passionate to share Heart Centered Healing philosophy as a means to creating a world that is a better place for all.

This podcast brings a different perspective to my usual conversations, because unlike most of my guests Jonathon Nazario is just 17 years old, which from my aged (57 year old) perspective is the very beginning of life’s experiences.
His book is called Society, The World In Which We Live and is a self-help philosophical mix, that is his take on the world highlighting human behaviour, education, and the business world.
When I was approached by this young author through one of the podcast matching sites. I have to admit, my old cynic reared it’s head and said
“What can a 17 year old possibly know about Life, Passion and Business?”
Intrigued to know more, I followed through with an introductory chat that turned into a refreshing conversation and an invitation to come on the podcast.
In this programme we discuss his personal view of success, contribution and the meaning of life. Jonathon has big plans for the future and he has a vision for himself that includes exceeding any of his personal expectations.
Despite being an old cynic, it is refreshing to hear the perspective of one so young. With his positive mindset, it is likely Jonathon will fulfil his vision and I hope I have the opportunity to catch up with him again in 10 years time to see how things are going.

How are you this January?
For many people it is the toughest month of the year, partly because of the hiatus of Christmas and the hard landing into one of the coldest months (at least in the Northern hemisphere). This year we have a few additional things going on in the world which can make it extra tough all round. That said, although there are many things that are out of our control, the one thing we do have the power to change is our thinking.
So what it boils down to is… How is your thinking this January?
Happiness comes from within. There’s no doubt about it, you’ll only be happy when you’re happy on the inside and external happiness is only a short lived experience.
If you need support with this, I have a publication on the Life Passion & Business website entitled Habitual Happiness. The value of that book is £12.99
Or, if you provide a review of this podcast on any podcast app or website, I will send you a Free copy of the book as a thank you. (Just send me a screenshot of the review and I will send you a download link in return).

My guest on the show today is a Transformational Coach working with professional women. Tulay Massey was born in Turkey and as a dutiful daughter, she studied hard and received a scholarship to an English University where she achieved a Degree and PhD in Food Science.
She secured her first job in the coffee industry where she stayed for 19 years. First successfully developing products and ultimately developing people. It was the process of working with people and seeing the transformation that inspired her most.
In 2017 a viral infection took her to bed for over 7 weeks and allowed her time to evaluate her life. It was listening to the ‘Mind Your Business podcast no. 114 that changed her perspective and opened the door to an opportunity in the coaching industry that she hadn’t considered before.
As Tulay says:
” I failed many of my goals but always achieved my dreams.”
Coming from industry, she understands the pressure and challenges faced by high achieving professional women. It is her mission to help them change from people-pleasers into conscious ‘Heart-Centred Creators’ who find their purpose, meaning and self-worth’
This conversation fits very well with January’s theme of setting goals and intentions.
I hope you enjoy this conversation with Tulay Massey.

My conversation today is reflections around the number 29930 it might seem a strange number. I was listening to Johns Strelecky speaking, and it is the average number of days a person will live on the assumption they survive and get to 82 years of age.
John is the author of "The cafe at the edge of the world". A book that came from his discoveries while lost and finding a remote cafe. It has sold over 4 million copies, and they are currently discussing a film.

Key takeaway
Work out your remaining days of life. Multiple your last birthday by the by 365 and subtract that result from 29930
Decide how you feel about it and what action to take.

The question in the podcast interviews is always the meaning of life, but I am beginning to wonder it we need a bigger question.
