Learn how the fear from his Dad mustered aggression in him and how he became hyper normalised to violence through gang fights and scheme wars. &nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>&nbsp;Paul discovered drugs, guitar and his creative side which let him to parking his academic career for a decade. He toured the country playing in the some of the most renown stages in the UK supporting some of the craziest bands.

<p>PART 2: <strong>Nick Yarris</strong> is an American writer who spent 22 years on death row in Pennsylvania after being wrongfully convicted of murder.</p> <p>Nick has given us his last podcast appearance ever - almost as a gift. Across these two episodes, he shares his last lessons from death-row. He has shared his story across national television outlets and even on Joe Rogan.</p> <p>We laughed, we cried and we laughed again. In light of the horrific experiences, Nick said that prison was like a fond memory to him - due to learning and practicing neuro-plasticity healing. "best thing" to happen to him.</p> <p>"I have a photograph of the street gang I was in when I was a teenager. There were 27 of us, 26 are dead now.</p> <p>"Death row saved my life.&nbsp;It taught me everything is a luxury to be treasured."</p> <p>He later said: "When I got out, I got a mantra from my mother, who sat me down and said that I had to be a polite and kind man from now on and that I had to be kind, otherwise it was a waste of coming home."</p> <p>Nick goes in depth on the struggle of being on death row telling of some very traumatic experiences and how he taught himself the skills to cope through them and the rest of his life.</p> <p>He then opens up about losing his career during covid as all public speaking opportunities across the globe came to a halt. He also provided us the deepest account of losing his child of SIDS.</p> <p>He ended by thanking listeners of this show and left with a message of love - as he hangs up the podcasting boots.</p> <p>What an honour.

#50 - Gordon Belch - The Intersection Between Million Dollar Deals and Self-Care

<p>This week my guest is Gordon Belch.</p> <p>Gordon is the co-founder of&nbsp;nutritious&nbsp;food&nbsp;brand&nbsp;vybey and Head of Finance at an international engineering firm. Out with being an entrepreneur, he is also deeply practiced in&nbsp;self optimisation through&nbsp;mindfulness, meditation and cold water therapy. He speaks on the cross-roads between entrepreneurialism and self-care.</p> <p>Together, we speak about:</p> <ul> <li>How entrepreneurialism is either learned or heritable but super-powered when they are combined;</li> <li>How childhoods signals of entrepreneurialism mature. Gordon bought and sold sweets on the playground</li> <li>How to turn a problem into ideation and subsequently creation - like Gordon did with&nbsp;vybey;</li> <li>The process of obtaining investment and how the incensed accountability scales dedication;</li> <li>How self-care and entrepreneurialism aren’t mutually exclusive and how Gordon believes the are married;</li> <li>How to find the best co-founder;</li> <li>How Gordon accidentally created culture capital that he could cash in for reward;</li> <li>And, what it’s like to be at the cusp of a million dollar deal.</li> </ul> <p>This one was a sentimental one to me as Gordon was one of my very first models. I speak about how my notion to break free from convention (and start this podcast) was an embryo of his mentoring.</p> <p><strong>If you love this podcast - check out Vybey’s Website!

#45 - Guest Appearance - Ben Coomber Radio - My Story: Raw and Uncut

<p>This week I am sharing my appearance on Ben Coomber's Number 1 Rated Podcast: Ben Coomber Radio. You might recognise his name.. that's because he was last weeks guest.</p> <p>Here is what Ben had to say about our episode together:</p> <p>"If David can do it, surely we can all rewrite our story, however pre-determined it feels? Coming from a family of poverty, with a PTSD suffering father, to a parent dying young, to growing up in an environment where staying in poverty and never breaking out feels inevitable, to becoming Scotland’s 1st apprentice management consultant, best young consultant in the country to apprentice of the year 2020, to founding chairing 2 social networks for Social Mobility, to meeting the queen, and to partnering with Marcus Rashford at work, this is the story of David McIntosh.<br> <br> At just 23 I was in awe of his wisdom and ideas, it was a pleasure to interview David. We discussed how we as humans can choose to feel empowered and have agency in a digital age, how the internet when used correctly can bring people out of poverty, how radical courage at key sliding door moments can change your life, how having tunnel vision on ONE goal could bring you out of your bad situation, and how embracing your weirdness could set you apart in a world where everyone is trying to conform.<br> <br> A truly inspiring young man. I hope you enjoy this show, and if you find it inspiring, please send it on to someone else.... "</p>

#44 - Ben Coomber - Building a Supplements Company

<p>Ben Coomber is the owner of Awesome Supplements. He is also a coach, nutritionist and host of the number one health and fitness podcast in the UK.&nbsp;</p> <p>Ben brings to life a decade in the health and fitness industry. He proves that fitness can and will always be inclusive.</p> <p>Ben speaks about how he cashed in on his identity and didn't espouse to his military school's expectations and archetype.</p> <p>Ben has excelled in every pocket of the health and fitness industry and acted upon numerous moments of courage that have allowed him to level up to the next rung. He has repeated this over a life time and has reaped the rewards.</p> <p>Ben draw's from his lessons from failure. Since leaving university, despite the ultimate highs, Ben and his businesses have had some serious lows. He remembers his accountant telling him that he needs £80k to stay afloat one month. Amidst this, he also agreed to completely remove dairy from his product line at a time where whey protein netted 20% of his sales.</p> <p>Why?</p> <p>To create identity capital. He wanted to be known as THE vegan supplement brand. He focussed his efforts towards sustainability by replacing tubs with sachets.</p> <p>One of my favourite moments of this podcast was when I asked "Do you have any regrets?". He replied "whenever I have had regret I have made sure I have replicated that opportunity".</p> <p>Ben is transparent about the sacrifices it takes to be an entrepreneur and a supplement brand founder. He debunks social medias fetishisation of entrepreneurship. Ben outlays the road to release when it comes to putting protein products on the shelf.</p> <p>This account is mic drop after mic drop - the self development nerd in me was foaming at the mouth!

<p>My guest this week is Ben Williams. Ben Williams is a Royal Marine Veteran and the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at Loopin.</p> <p><br></p> <p>You might have seen him on the famous The Diary of the CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett.</p> <p><br></p> <p>From an early age Ben was subjected to a hostile family dynamic. He &nbsp;moved home six times and went to six different schools within ten years of his life.&nbsp;<br> <br> <br> He looked to gain control by becoming a nightclub bouncer. One incident, &nbsp;involving the death of someone inside the club, found Ben falling into a world of drug abuse, gambling and addiction, balancing on the brink of life. Broke, with no home or anyone to turn to, he abused his addictions every day and battled suicidal tendencies.&nbsp;<br> <br> <br> Ben saw an advert on YouTube for the Royal Marines and this is where it all changed. Ben opens up candidly about the recruitment and selection process which found pleasure in undertaking because it was the first time he felt real accountability and gratitude of opportunity.&nbsp;</p> <h2><br> During his ten years with the Royal Marines – one of the most elite regiments in the world, Ben travelled the world, seeing active operational duties in Afghanistan. &nbsp;After being injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan, he returned to the UK with traumatic imprints. <br> <br> After being medically discharged, and a coaching career, he has now co-founded Loopin.

#38 - Ronan Harrington - Resilience in the Decade of Disruption

<p>Ronan helps organisations understand the coming decade of disruption, and how they can move from burnout to resilience.</p> <p>His talks are rare in that they combine big picture trends with the science of resilience, and are packed with lots of psychological tools to manage stress, anxiety and burnout. Audiences leave with a surprising dose of optimism about the future and confidence in their ability to cope with increasing complexity.</p> <p><br></p> <p>His expertise comes from having worked as a scenario planner to the British Foreign Office and strategic lead at <a href="http://rethinkx.com/" target="_blank"><u>RethinkX</u></a>, the Think Tank&nbsp; analysing technological disruption and its impacts on society. He is also a Client Director at <a href="http://tough-cookie.co.uk/" target="_blank"><u>Tough Cookie</u></a>, which help major companies to improve their mental resilience.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In the past year, he has delivered inspiring keynotes to KPMG, McKinsey-Aberkyn, and INSEAD, giving senior leaders the insights they need to respond to this moment of chaos and uncertainty.</p> <p>His talks are inspiring because they come from my own lived experience of being in senior leadership positions. He speaks openly about the stress of being a decision maker in chaotic environments. This includes the severe burnout he faced after leading the political strategy for the global climate movement. Now more than ever, audiences need to understand how to cope with crisis and adversity, and having experienced his own dark night of the soul, he can speak honesty about how to use it as an invitation to grow as a leader.</p> <p>His speaking topics include:</p> <p>Resilience in the Decade of Disruption<br> <br> <br> Challenges and Opportunities in a post-Covid World<br> Technology and Emerging Trends</p> <p>Employee Engagement&nbsp;<br> Mental Resilience<br> Health and Well-Being</p> <p>If you love this podcast:</p> <p><strong>Fuel my podcast and buy me a Coffee: </strong><a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Dbyd" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Dbyd</a></p>
