Communication is the theme in my conversation with Diana Silva Franco, and it is her quest to teach others how to communicate and inspire. She is a restless soul born in Venezuela during a time when it was a vibrant, energetic country. She was enticed to move to Argentina and today has landed in Spain.
From her early years, she was a natural communicator learning to speak before she was a year old. Her mother was a doctor, and her Father was a filmmaker. She grew up surrounded by media and developed a passion for writing and exploring. College led her to journalism, a path that was made for her.
One of her lecturers said she would be a cult leader, a politician or a persuasive communicator.
While at college, she discovered how easy it was to do the work when you loved it. Straight out of education, she went into a newsroom, writing and producing.
It was some of the most exciting times. Loving it more than anything, she dropped 18 days, living and sleeping at the office.
She lasted three before she burnt out at the age of 26; Journalism and news media had become an addiction for her she could never go back. The recovery is a small part of our story, and what is more important is the rebuilding that followed.
What followed an adventure into the corporate world, working with an ambassador creating events and getting mugged ten times in ten months.
Venezuela was not the vibrant and safe country she was born into.
But the universe had plans; four days into a three-month sabbatical in Argentina, An email from Disney International appeared on her phone. “ We have seen your CV; it would be good to chat.”
How to Communicate and Inspire.
Today Diana is a strategic communications entrepreneur, and through her brand “Comunicar para Inspirar” she works with foundations, educators, and NGOs. She can hear what they do and tell their story to inspire media coverage and attract funders and supporters.
The journalist is still working with the news and changing the world.

Exploring dreams to reality. I have been looking at this idea of the what if. And that what’s possible or wouldn’t that be amazing. Now when you do that kind of work, it creates a list of what could be considered dreams and wishes. Some will look like they are almost impossible and others are miracles. And yet there will be a way.
The point is with a list of amazing things completing one or two would feel more than amazing. In this podcast we’re going to explore what you do with your dream list, and how you begin to take something forward and make it a reality.
Now let’s be realistic if it’s a dream is never going to be easy and there’s no guarantee of success, but unless we try to move something forward, there will never be any success.
Plus it does expose an interesting question, how do we define success because that can lead us down some very strange rabbit holes. In this podcast, we are going to explore how you can start to move the needle on these amazing ideas you’ve had and how you can avoid the pitfalls of choosing the wrong thing for the wrong reasons.
Dreams to Reality is a Springboard
The point is if we are choosing a dream because it would lead to something else, be the springboard to the next dream. Something else is definitely going to be more important than this dream we are trying to achieve.
Another exciting aspect of exploring dreams. When we create a list quite often some of the things are already part of our current plan and thinking big often resolves the small.
So there it is explore your dreams and everything else will fall into place nicely.

How often have you heard the phrase “Money does grow on Trees”? If you had a childhood like mine, unlikely without the word NOT between the does and Grow? It is the title of a book by my guest on the show John Bolton.
John is an optometrist from Brisbane, Australia, and he is the first guest in my series on money. He is the author of the book, “ Money Does Grow On Trees”.
Since the beginning of the year, I have been researching several subjects to bring you a series of mini-events around essential topics for our continued growth and development. We could explore many things, but the most significant factor affecting us every day is Money.
That has to be the first topic, and while I have yet to set a date, I can tell you what it will be called.
Let’s Talk About Money.
Because the one thing I’m acutely aware of as I have explored the subject is that people don’t want to discuss it, they are more likely to discuss sex than money. The event date will be out soon, so make sure you are on our mailing list or following the podcast.
Back to our author and guest on the programme. John Bolton has had a pretty good life; as I explored his story, what stood out was his journey with personal development. His parents were forward-thinking and exposed him to books and tapes from an early age. While he was not interested, it is clear that his parents were role models in his journey.
In our conversation, we cover the five questions related to John’s life and how he explores the idea of passion, purpose, success, meaning and contribution.
John was fortunate to discover that speaking to people and helping them was a calling. As an optometrist, he found a profession that supported both his joy and passion. It satisfied his need to help, making people’s lives better with new glasses and, at the same time having great conversations.
The key to John’s success has been the books he has read, well over 100. His decision to write his own was the desire to share the 15 books that have changed his life.

Being in flow with life is about taking aligned action; in my weekend show, we explored the idea of being in that flow and open to the opportunities that pass; it is about breathing into the space.
When I think of a guest demonstrating the process well, it had to be the late Simon Jordan; he died suddenly in December 2021. I made a tribute programme for him at the time.
Simon was a long-term online friend, I had known each other for ten years, yet as in common in the digital world, we never managed to meet in person.
Taking Aligned Action
Going back to my point about flow and aligned action. There is a view and narrative that you will crawl through the swamp to get to your goal if you want something enough. You will put your shoulder to the wheel of life and push until you get what you want.
I do not deny the idea’s validity, and sometimes getting results requires this level of commitment and sacrifice.
However, at what personal cost do we ask ourselves if we want to pay that price? There was a time when I did the 7 am to 7 pm life. Did it get me anything? I thought it did, but it meant I ate late, watched too much TV and went to bed to do it all again the following morning.
In this show with Simon, we explore his journey from the ego-driven on-stage marketing professional whose life was falling apart to the free-flowing mountain climber, swimmer, adventurer and branding coach. At the time of recording, his life philosophy was about taking aligned action, simplicity and moving with the flow.
The conversation was taken from the event Reason and Results, in 2020. The detail of this and all of our past events can be found here

What does it mean to be Living in Alignment? For me, it is about moving through life in flow with our surroundings and connecting with something bigger that we can see. If we are going to meet the challenge of AI in the 21 century. This is a path it cannot follow.
Our conversation is with Jennifer Main. She is a transformational guide and shows people how to tune into their intuition and connect with the flow of life. She is a speaker, best-selling author, and leading meditation & theta healing instructor.
In this conversation, we explore what is possible when we connect and flow with the rhythms of life. It is about using our intuition and living in alignment, and only possible when we use more than our physical senses.
Jennifer was born in the USA, lives in Scotland, and is no stranger to the programme as she is a past guest. The recording you are about to hear with Jennifer was from a virtual event in December 2020 and is part one of two.
The second part is more of an experience where Jennifer took Cheryl and me on a journey to connect with our surroundings. This and many more amazing conversations are available on the event page.
In my weekend reflection, I explored the rise of AI. Since making that programme, I have realised humans need to develop and grow to meet the challenge. AI will never develop our capacity for intuition. It will never have the ability to read the room or tune into the space.
The Story of Spiritduality
In 2020 the podcast was two years old, and we could see a theme. Many guests would talk about using intuition or gut feeling when making decisions. I wanted to explore the subject, as did Cheryl (the wife). So together, we created an event called Spiritduality. It was an exploration of the line we walk between faith and religion and ordinary life.
Jennifer Main is a past guest, and you can find the original show Jennifer Main Podcast

Aligned Speaking, When we connect with our soul it is the one aspect of humanity that AI will never master. When we speak and connect with who we are, communication happens on a level that is beyond words. Speaking is so fundamental to everything that we do, and this podcast is a fantastic example of what is possible with
I was looking for a past show to share this week and came up with this episode from December 2018, at the time Patty was focused on the power of public speaking. Her current focus has moved to intuitive coaching and is based on the laws of attraction and action.
That does not take away from the content you are about to her.
Patty was set a challenge to find 50 speaking gigs in 50 weeks, and she did it. That journey was a lesson in mastery, overcoming obstacles, and dealing with the unexpected. When we set out to achieve a goal or purpose, it is the commitment that matters most. In the middle of this challenge, her mother’s cancer took a turn for the worst.
Aligned Speaking,
In this recording, she demonstrates how it is possible to create intimacy and connection through emotion.
It is a wonderful piece of gold from the start of my podcast journey. The one fly in the pudding is my audio quality, inexperience with the zoom app I selected the wrong microphone, and my voice is dreadful. I will explain more in the show.
Do check out the offers at the end of the show.

The things we love? Is it the car or our phone? So what does it mean to love something? I am not talking about a person. I am talking about an item, an object or a brand. My guest on the show has been researching how we love for over 30 years.
Our show today is the first recording in our streamlined format, and it makes the show more compact. I hope you enjoy it.
The conversation is in 2 parts. The first part will be audio, and the second will be on our YouTube channel.
Dr Aaron Ahuvia is the Czarnecki Endowed Professor of Marketing at the University of Michigan-Dearborn and the world’s leading expert on brand love.
And that all started with research work in dating services. He and a colleague were looking at how dating apps work. But before exploring the project, they needed to understand love, which was the start of a 30-year adventure.
His work on brand love has been recognized not just in academia but also in industry. In 2019 he received the Stetik Group Brand Relationship Award for research that has influenced business practice.
Before all of this Aaron, is a philosopher, and as you will hear in our conversation, semantics is everything.
We cover his journey through the five questions and what it takes for him to live a good life.
In part 2 of our conversation on TouTube, we explore the ideas behind loving brands and objects. We explore some of the pitfalls that AI may open when coming to that bonding with inanimate things because they respond to us.

Could you be unstoppable? Could there be a secret waiting to be discovered?
Following on from the 5-year birthday celebrations and having reached out to several past guests. The idea or impulse to reconnect with some of my past friends led to great discussions, and Patrick Powers was one of those people. In our catch-up chat, he said he had discovered what it took and was writing a book about becoming unstoppable.
I first met Patrick in 2020, the year of Covid lockdowns in the UK, and they had decimated his face-to-face business networking group in London.
But Patrick is no stranger to facing difficulties in his business and life; in the 00’s, he was a star in a network marketing business at some point, and he had a team of 10,000 people.
He lost everything while living in the Dominican Republic; he ended up in London as a broke taxi driver.
Back in 2020, he built the second-largest business in the world.
How do you become unstoppable?
Over the last few years, I saw Patrick’s life as a highlight reel on Facebook. At some point, he got married and went to live in Russia, and then there was the drama of leaving the country. Followed by the drama of returning to the country.
It is a brilliant story worthy of any novel, and it happens to be true.
Some years back, Patrick changed his last name to Power, because he was a powerhouse of passion and inspiration and he still is that and more.

Reconnecting with past guests in the birthday show was just like connecting with old friends, and it has opened new possibilities for some interesting conversations. One of those was with Patrick Powers; he was on the show last in the middle of the Covid Lockdowns in the Uk.
A lot has changed for him since my last conversation, and as we are currently looking for a date to meet up, I thought it would be a good opportunity to upload our last conversation.
There are a few references in the show to focus coaching; the link is at the bottom of the page.

Here are the final three short catch-up interviews with past guests from the show.
One aspect of the podcast has always been about the whole person, not just the day job. I am interested in how the guest structure their entire life in terms of health, food, fitness and exercise all the things that keep us healthy and make for a good life.
If that was very common amongst so many of our guests was the use of mindset and meditation. I wanted to reconnect with one of our early guests, who was a master at the meditation process. Terry Sidhu's book Meditate and its connected resources are perfect for someone looking to bring meditation into their life.
Meditation, journaling and coaching are all paths that lead to self-discovery, another key on the way to a good life. It was great to catch up with Terry and hear about his work and how he is taking medication into the wider world.
January the time when many start to think about food. My next guest was someone who joined the show in 2019. Dominica Roszko was in marketing, but after ongoing health issues, she explored how food could be both the problem and the solution.
Dominica is back on the program, giving you a good starting point, what we need to do before changing our diet.
2022 was the year I became a Marathon Runner.
The final speaker in the show's third part is someone who had inspired me with her drive and determination. Nicky love is an ultra runner; this lady ran 63 marathons in 63 days. I had just completed a 10K at the time, which gave me a deeper understanding and appreciation of her achievement.
So it was wonderful to reconnect with Nikki from the perspective of now being a marathon runner and share our experience and stories associated with running and looking for adventure.
Part 3 concludes the retrospective of the last five years.

Opportunities for rituals and wonder, part of the food and joy of a good life, plus the new year is a good time for reflection. However, the show is not about goals… Although we will talk about intentions. we explore the use of divination cards and the rediscovery of wonder
Do you have a new year ritual outside of the party and celebrations?
My family has a ritual where we select an Angel card and a Rune for the year.
The Angel cards we use originated from the game of transformation that started in the Findhorn foundation. These cards have one word, normally an action.
Last year my word was Tenderness. This year it is “Play.”
These words are a source of conversation and a reference point for how I will live the year.
The conversation was triggered by the discovery of the podcast cast by Mark Watts featuring the work of his father, Alan.
Alan Watts was a Radioman who spoke about Philosophy and Theology with a lovely voice and lots of wisdom. The show I heard was an early live recording talking about the importance of surprise and wonder.
So getting the Angel card “Play” really speaks to me and is so valuable when considering the journey that we are about to embark on the podcast.

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.

If you listen to my show on Sunday you would have heard that this podcast is 5 years old in January. and it’s time for a change. We have a few shows left in the current format that will come out between now and the end of December.
It’s funny when we consider changing or letting go of the familiar there’s an element of fear that turns up and the urge is to step away from that edge.
Of course, we just need to let go and move forward. But that reminded me of the show with John Purkiss “The power of letting go.”
It was back in 2020 and was one of those inspiring and long conversations, so long that I split the show into two parts you’re about to hear part 1 as a re-upload. It is about overcoming depression mindfulness and how to get the life you want.
The link to the previous listing and part 2 of that conversation is here.

Could you remove yourself from your business or life for 6 weeks while you take a road trip with the family? It is about creating s systems for success, it is about being organised and with processes and procedures for what you do so that others could do it for you.
My guest on the programme is a systems man, as a child, he was a natural entrepreneur, at 10 he was always making stuff and selling it. But then he came from a family where business and selling were just normal.
Alexis Kingsbury was born in Nottinghamshire in the UK. As the clever child, he was seen as the geek, the one with his hand up in class. The point is he was driven to learn and business was his primary interest. The question was how do you make them grow
After taking business studies at advanced level and went on to Loughborough University to study management science. He was still looking for the answer to that question, how do you grow a business past yourself
It was only after leaving university that he found the answer. He went into management consultancy and got to experience first-hand what the inside of a scaled business looks like.
He was terrified on his first day on the job with a new client and he was able to save them 1000s within 10 minutes.
What he discovered is that scaling a business is about people and systems.
Systems For Success
Our conversation is about his ability to break down a process and create systems. He discovered what came to him with ease was difficult for others. Ultimately he left the consultancy to start up a business with a partner. They created Airmanual and Spider gap both software services that support businesses to grow and scale.
Over the last 15 years, Alexis has worked with hundreds of business leaders to save them 1,000s of hours of their time each year, help them work more effectively, and unlock their business growth. As a speaker and guest, he has been sharing his findings, and it’s had a huge impact on many businesses
