[7:21] “…there was a really fine line between being so overly open, that you actually discredit yourself and being vulnerable enough and human enough or grounded enough to make people feel relatable to you. And that you also are not perfect, and you've [never had been] perfect to get that position.” [9:59] “I do think that you only really learn with it when things are bad. No, of course, you do some learning and some developing when things are all right, and things are going okay. But it's tiny in comparison to when things are tough… or things are going wrong or something's failed, that is where the real development happens.” [28:43] “...perfectionism gets in the way of a lot of things…I think it is to some extent, a strength because you meet people who've got high standards. They put lots of pressure on themselves. They want to deliver things and that's great, but when it tips over, and often it does, I think it really is an inhibitor.” [31:45] “There are some technical roles where actually it's all about IQ…you have to have enough IQ to be competent. Beyond that, more and more and more IQ does not equal more and more and more performance. Yeah. But EQ is what it's about.” About the Guest Tim Davies, a healthcare leader with over 20 years of experience, stands at the forefront of modern leadership.

Working to Live: Finding the Balance with Rob Regan What's the most important thing to you in life? Most people would say something like friends, family, or living comfortably. But how much of your time goes to those things? More often than not, 'successful' people spend almost all their days in their careers, unable to be with the things they say are the most important. This episode delves into the concept of "working to live" as we explore Rob Regan's journey. He describes the three most powerful years in his life and how they all involve the most important things to him: family, rugby, and work. Most executives get completely stuck at the office, but Rob has found the balance between work and the rest of his life. As for how he did it, sometimes we really have to take a terrifying step away from what we've been doing all our lives. If you're wondering how to get back to what you love the most while still managing your career — and, frankly, the rest of your life — then this episode is for you.

My rugby life and my work life are very similar, which is: bags of effort, and no talent.' [16:22] ‘I finally realised that doing the right thing for yourself and your family was much more important than work — and it was absolutely terrifying. But I stepped away and decided I was going to retire.' [24:48] ‘I could never imagine me: thick-skinned, cauliflower ear, Welsh rugby bloke being able to say stuff that would help people and make a difference in our space.’ [27:06] 'Every day is still a school day. I've got all the same flaws I've always had, but I'm getting better at recognising them.' [34:14] 'I wasn't always the best version of myself; I didn't always treat people the way that they deserve to be treated.

Once you’ve hit rock bottom, there’s nowhere to go but up. Today’s world is rife with opportunity — technology has opened the gateway for every aspiring entrepreneur to make an impact on the planet, no matter how small their start is. Not every successful enterprise starts with a million-dollar loan. Sometimes, it's just a college student sleeping in a garage. In this episode, Daniel Priestley takes us through the three proudest moments of his entrepreneurial journey. Daniel’s journey started when he was 15, working in McDonald's — a job he takes pride in — to being flat broke at 18, and where he is now: running multiple 7-figure companies at 42. We dive deep into his secret to running multiple successful businesses (hint: low expectations), his secret to consistent success, and what it takes to build a dream team. There's never been a better time than now to start a business. If you're an aspiring entrepreneur, this episode is definitely for you.

It had some help. I’m that tortoise. Think about it like this: if you’ve got a hundred people on a team, you’ve got eight hundred hours a day, so there’s eight hundred hours a day going into the business. You can accomplish a lot with a hundred people.” [30:39] “You need to find a partner that you would exit to who can take it bigger and brighter than ever before so that they're well equipped to go to that next level.” [32:24] “If you want the feeling of what success feels then have low expectations.

In this special podcast episode, you will be a fly on the wall in Angela’s coaching room. Angela is working with Rob, an entrepreneur and co-founder. Rob explained how he often feels under threat in situations that involve conflict, and this causes him to shut down. He finds it difficult to speak up and this results in a feeling of weakness. We use a recent event during which Rob felt he couldn’t speak up as our gateway memory. I asked Rob replay the event and observe himself in the memory. He recalled the feelings and was able to pinpoint how these showed up in his body. Using this visceral feeling we tracked back through other memories until we found a much earlier one which formed the basis for the beliefs he formed about speaking up. It’s a fascinating episode which allows you to hear the impact that events in the past can have on the here and now.
