Shortcast : Success Became a Cult
Sunday Apr 09, 2023
Sunday Apr 09, 2023
On this show, we explore how success became a cult. I have been in the digital space since the beginning. There have always been gurus promising six-figure business models and setting their authority in the space with the trapping perceived wealth.
In the show, we explore how you can find and discover the true meaning of success, and it will be different for every one of us.
A story broke this week about a cult that was using coaching to entrap and convince members to pay them loads of money and leave their families. That is not coaching. It might be using tools, but it is manipulation on the deepest level.
But I can understand how it happened because it would tie into the Cult of success. Which has always been about having the toys and trapping that make us look successful
It is the glamorisation of overwork as the badge of success, the acquisition of stuff, cars, house, posh locations, the travel. While all of these things (apart from the overwork) are exciting, they are success metrics outside us. They are fun and addictive, but asking many who get there, it doesn’t feel like an achievement.
So how do we define success for ourselves?
It’s something that I have discussed on the podcast every single week when we talk to guests about their success model.
The thread that comes through from all the conversations I had over the last five years is.
When we can truly find our purpose, “The WHY” it will be the thing that we always do and are meant to be doing.
If we can express it in the world in a form that aligns with our values and the story that we believe to be true for our life.
That is the path to true success, happiness and wealth.

Diana Silva Franco : Communicate and Inspire
Wednesday Apr 05, 2023
Wednesday Apr 05, 2023
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.

Shortcast : Dreams to Reality
Sunday Apr 02, 2023
Sunday Apr 02, 2023
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.

Karen Darke : Wouldn’t it be Amazing
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Thursday Mar 30, 2023
Wouldn’t it be amazing or WIBA is a phrase coined by Karen Darke and she uses it to dream up adventures and possible outcomes for her life.
As promised on the weekend show, here is the recording with Karen Darke from our 2020 event Reasons and Results. The talk was titled wouldn’t it be amazing and explores Karen’s process with mindsets and motivation.
So who is Karen Darke. A google search will tell your she is a British Adventurer, she is a Paralympic Cyclist, Para-triathlete, Explorer and Author.
In her youth Karen trained as a Geologist and was a crazy mountain climber with no fear of heights. Until at 23 she had a serious fall and was paralysed from the chest down. The path of her life changed at the moment.
While the route was not a straight line it turned her into the adventurer she is today, she has skied, and cycled on all continents and is he proud owner of Gold Medal from the Rio Olympics.
Our conversation explores the path of her Olympic journey and so much more. In the show she is planning an adventure in to Arctic circle and I know she completed that journey over Christmas 2022.

Shortcast : Wouldn’t it be Cool if?
Sunday Mar 26, 2023
Sunday Mar 26, 2023
Have you ever thought wouldn’t it be cool if? Or wouldn’t it be fantastic or even incredible? These are statements of possibility; they are the precursor to a dream or goal.
On this show, I am exploring the power of allowing the mind to wonder and open up to possibilities by using a simple question and following it through.
I speak to many people throughout my week, and one thing that stands out is how we have become blocked by the process of life. Try it with your friends, and ask about their dreams. They might have one or two, but most will shrug that aside or brush it off as silly. We have lost the ability to really wonder and explore crazy possibility.
Wouldn’t it be cool if, is the precursor to a dream or goal.
Scanning my bookshelf for inspiration this week, I picked up the book by Michael Neill, “Creating the impossible” it is a 90-day process to get dreams out of the head and into reality. It’s been on the shelf for a few years, I have read part one, but part 2 is like one of those courses you buy and never action.
That is not entirely true; I have dibbed in and out a few times but have yet to give it my full attention. The book uses the three principles, a philosophy that speaks to me, but is hard to describe. I have wanted to do a podcast on the subject many times, but I don’t have the words.
In part 2 of the book, the day 1 exercise is making a list of wouldn’t it be cool? That reminded me of Karen Darke and our conversation before her poles of possibility project. She has this phrase. Wouldn’t it be awesome?
She has been on the show once and was a guest at one of our events. The link to her podcast is here
The wouldn't list exercise is so worth a go; you never know what you might discover.
Here is a link to the book with Micheal Neill

John Bolton : Money Does Grow On Trees
Thursday Mar 23, 2023
Thursday Mar 23, 2023
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.

Shortcast : Belief and Greatness
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
Sunday Mar 19, 2023
Belief and greatness, what has one got to do with the other? When we do not believe we will be great at the task in front of us, it will not run smoothly.
My reflection today is on the point of preparation. If there is something that we want to achieve, we got to put in the work to make that process go easy and go with the flow.
So on this show, we discuss what that looks like, why it is so important, and what happens when we don’t prepare.
It is funny how as adults, we tend to think that we can just do important stuff. Yet when we were in education and about to sit an exam, we would prepare, and we would revise.
When I’m standing at the start line of a race, I’m there because I know I’ve done the preparation. I cannot expect the results that I want unless I have done the work.
Now, what does preparation look like, particularly around the belief? It’s about bringing the energy of the future into the present.
Difficult tasks will need preparation; by breaking them into smaller steps, creating a plan, and staying focused and positive With belief and greatness, you can increase your chances of success.
If you need help, there is always focus coaching.

Simon Jordan : Aligned Action
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
Wednesday Mar 15, 2023
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

Shortcast :Are you in Tune?
Sunday Mar 12, 2023
Sunday Mar 12, 2023
In tune with what? Are you in tune with life? The question for this podcast is, where do you sit with being in the flow of life, and are you using your intuition?
On this show, we are exploring the benefit of being in the flow, in tune with the energy of life. If that feels a bit woo-woo, consider this. A dog will get excited well before their owner pulls into the drive. Birds fly thousands of miles, even returning to the same location year after year. We don’t call that woo-woo or strange it is just nature.
What if your intuition was just nature?
Back in 2020, at the height of the pandemic, the podcast was almost two years old, and I was reviewing the journey. There were patterns, so many guests would talk about intuition or having a gut feeling when making big choices or decisions in life.
They were connecting to something greater than the sum of its parts.
It was so common that my wife was inspired to create an event around the topic. We called it spiritdualty. It is a good piece of work with over 35 amazing conversations. ( check it out)
I have long said I live my life in flow, and I firmly believe that option is open to all willing to try. On the show, we explore some ideas on how you might connect with the flow of your life.

Jennifer Main : Living In Alignment
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
Wednesday Mar 08, 2023
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

Shortcast : What is the AI question?
Sunday Mar 05, 2023
Sunday Mar 05, 2023
What is the AI question? In case you missed the news, Chatgbt arrived last month and, the potential of AI, went mainstream.
For those unfamiliar, ChatGBT (In its own words) is a large language model created by OpenAI. I am designed to understand natural language input and generate human-like responses in a wide range of topics.
It is a search engine that returns a human-like response to a question given. So why the fuss? Well, this is a learning system that will correct its mistakes so it can only improve.
In this shortcast, we explore how I see this technological development in the context of all that went before.
To be human is to communicate to share, to interact. For thousands of years, we have done this with stories, writing, books, music, and film. Each development eclipsed that past, but each required human input until now.
What is The AI Question
With AI’s growth, we enter a new phase of development where humans give up on creativity and become consumers of generated content.
We need to address the AI question before it starts to address us.
Am I overreacting? I put this question to Chat GBT, you can find its response at the website on this podcast page. But spoiler even chatGBT admits there are potential dangers.
No homework this week other than give this some thought, at some point, we are going to have to take some action lest we sleepwalk ourselves into extinction.

Patty Lennon: Aligned Speaking
Wednesday Mar 01, 2023
Wednesday Mar 01, 2023
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.

Shortcast : Writing it Down
Sunday Feb 26, 2023
Sunday Feb 26, 2023
Are you writing it down? Our conversation on this show is about the value of writing and journaling. It is also about discovering the gold when we have an established writing practice.
I was in a session with a coach/facilitator some 30 years back. I concluded our discussion, and he asked why I was not writing down my discovery.
“If you are not writing it down, you choose not to remember.”
“It’s Ok. I will remember it.” That led to an explanation as to why our brains or minds are not trusted to recall ideas, agreements or essential information. Particularly if those thoughts contradict our set ideas or regular patterns of thinking.
The point is we remember what we want and not what is always essential.
I have been journaling on and off for over ten years, starting with morning pages from “The Artist’s Way” (Julia Cameron) and moving through various forms and styles until my current process, which is just a page of journaling, the bullet style.
A journal is a place to process stuff, explore ideas and ask questions. The spark for this conversation was the discovery of “Jour-mining” which is journal mining.
I discovered on Friday that I had not maintained the index for the last 20-plus entries. So on going back to read and update the index, I found a cornucopia of ideas and workflows for the podcast and Events I had written and just forgotten.
It brought home the importance of solid writing practice. Without that discipline, these thoughts would have been lost.
So do you have a writing practice? Are you writing it down?
In this podcast, I mention the Journal Writers Companion by Alyss Thomas

Aaron Ahuvia : The Things We Love
Wednesday Feb 22, 2023
Wednesday Feb 22, 2023
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.

Shortcast : The Imposter
Sunday Feb 19, 2023
Sunday Feb 19, 2023
Who is the imposter? I discovered a piece in the Guardian new paper that was, considering procrastination; it led to our mid-week podcast. It also made me think about the other aspects of life that keep us from achieving what we want. One of those monsters is the imposter syndrome.
It is an internal conflict that stops us from deciding and holds us back from our goals based on the idea that we’re not good enough.
This show explores the syndrome’s basics, with examples from some of my insecurities.
We look at why it has become more of an issue in modern life and offer some simple solutions that can help get us through.
We all need to stretch beyond where we are to get what we want.
In the show, I mention how finding support from friends and colleagues is a good route through issues like imposters.
However, friends can only take you so far, so if you want to move beyond your comfort zone, external help will often make the difference.
