Entrepreneur Life

E35 – Enjoy the journey

Being an entrepreneur is like being on a roller coaster, the challenges you may face will bring you the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. The idea is to have more highs than lows and that comes from the vision that drives me every day. 

E34: Proven wrong.

When proven wrong, I am not one to hide it. And I was in-fact proven wrong! But besides that, there is a lot happening at Shrewsbury Prison, the money has finally arrived from the solicitor, and we will soon have ownership of more land! Spring is just around the corner so all hands-on deck to get the weeds pulled and sprayed before they become too overgrown!  The glamorous life of a CEO!

E33: Productivity

I am finding that as I grow older, my mind is changing. I am more productive in the morning in comparison to how I used to be, where most of my work was done late into the evening.  In this episode, if you listen, you might just learn something! 

E32– Am I losing my mind?

It has been a tough few days with so much going on! I have recently stopped to think, am I losing my mind? Stress and Anxiety would like to make me think that anyway! Reducing stress is key, but with so much to do it is not always that easy... 

E31: Work / life balance

We have made a substantial change to how we work across the business as we introduce the team to a 4-day working week. It is such a huge step for the business but striking a good life and work balance is so important. There is much more in life then work!

E30: Building a global brand.

It has come to my realisation that this series is now following me as I build a global brand... Long 12-hour days with much to reflect on, I think Rum in multiple forms is much needed to reset and refocus! And a gym session of course...

E29: Expect the unexpected!

Not everything goes to plan, and when it does not, you must learn how to adapt! As a CEO, you never know what might end up on your desk or when... In this episode you will get a glimpse at how I handle these moments and the type of things that might pop up. It’s hard to keep your cool when you have lost a 10 million Pound Cheque...

E28: It’s not all smoked Salmon and Avocado... The reality of being a CEO!

It's not all smoked Salmon and Avocado, in-fact the complete opposite! The life of a CEO can certainly present its challenges at the most unexpected times. Come with me to check in with the team at Shepton Mallet Prison as I continue to grow a brand worth 100 million Pounds!

E27: Time for change

Change is good, change is necessary, but when is the right time to make a change? Change can be one of the most challenging situations and can result in us holding one another back, but what for? Find out how being stuck in my old ways affected my team and what I did to change that.

E26: Back into the swing of things

Having returned from a 5-week trip to New Zealand, I am finally back into the swing of things! I must catch up with the team but also with our Marketing Agency with one of their upcoming contracts being a potential conflict of interest, I touch up on how it is not my job to hold others back, including my team!
