Feeling overwhelmed by the constant busyness of modern life? In this episode, I dive into the Essentialist Principle—focusing on doing what truly matters and letting go of the non-essential. I share a candid, real-world look at how I reassessed my businesses, prioritised what’s genuinely important, and restructured my approach to remove tasks that drain rather than drive me. From marketing struggles to setting strategic goals, hear how embracing “less is more” not only boosted my team’s clarity but also aligned my work with my values. Whether you’re an entrepreneur or just juggling too many commitments, these practical examples will help you cut through the noise and focus on what makes the biggest impact. If you’re ready for less stress and more purpose, this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I explore the vital topic of controlling your emotions and why it’s essential for living a happy, fulfilled life. Whether you’re someone who feels emotions intensely positive or negative this session is especially for you. I reflect on the ways emotions can amplify reality, sometimes giving us a false sense of security or making challenges seem insurmountable. I discuss the importance of channelling emotions wisely like using nervous energy before a big presentation or run and why learning when to rein them in (and when to let them flow) is a real-life superpower. Success and fulfilment often come down to emotional control, so I share my own lessons and tips on how to keep your feelings in check without missing out on life’s joys. If you’re ready to understand, manage, and harness your emotions for positive change, jump in now!

In today’s episode, I open up about the surprising connection between age and injury risk, especially for those of us who exercise regularly. At 43, even with a strong fitness routine, I’ve found myself picking up minor (and lingering!) niggles that never bothered me in my younger days. I share real examples from my own frustrating ankle strain to a friend’s unexpected hamstring injury on the football pitch. If you’re training consistently into middle age, it’s important to recognise that, no matter how fit you feel, your body becomes more vulnerable to little injuries often in the most ordinary moments! Tune in for an honest reflection and some important lessons to help you stay mindful, train smart, and keep enjoying your active lifestyle safely.

Imagine this: the world’s just been hit by a wild summer storm, but I’m lacing up – not just for a run, but to change lives. Why do I love running right after a storm?

In this episode, I share my personal storey of running every single day for over 1,800 days without stretching properly until recently. From barefoot runs that took me the equivalent distance from London to Melbourne, to tackling injuries and morning stiffness, I discuss why my perspective on stretching has shifted, especially as I’ve entered my forties. Is stretching essential for regular exercisers? Tune in for my honest take, what’s changed for me, and why I've started introducing simple stretches into my daily routine. Whether you’re a young recreational runner or starting to feel the effects of age, this is a candid insight to help you decide if stretching should be a bigger part of your fitness journey.

Have you ever wondered how much trust you should give to the people around you whether in your personal life or business? In this episode, I reflect on how trust has changed through generations, share some personal experiences of being both helped and wronged, and discuss how important intention is when mistakes happen. You'll hear my thoughts on why trust should be earned, not given blindly, and why it’s essential to keep your "trustometer" in check. If you’ve ever found yourself questioning who to trust or re-evaluating how trustworthy you are yourself this episode’s for you.

Today, I’m diving deep into a feeling many business owners and entrepreneurs experience: “guilty progress.” Ever found yourself feeling unproductive, only to see your team or business move forward without your direct involvement? I’ve had one of my least productive weeks in years, and it got me thinking should we feel guilty, or actually proud, when progress happens without us? In this episode, I’m sharing my honest reflections on why building teams, systems, and processes that allow you to step back is the real measure of success and growth. Join me as I explore how the art of delegation can transform your business and why you should never feel bad for the progress you’ve enabled even if you’re not always in the driver’s seat. Tune in for some practical learnings from my own entrepreneurial journey, and don’t forget: stay positive, stay happy, and keep moving forward!

Ever struggle with staying motivated, keeping productive, or battling procrastination? You’re not alone! In this episode, I dive into the Pomodoro Technique, a simple but seriously effective approach to focused work. I share my personal ups and downs with productivity, how returning to Pomodoro blocks turned things around for me, and why doing just a couple of focused 25-minute sessions each day can make all the difference. Plus, I break down exactly how the technique works, why it’s named after a tomato, and how you can adapt it to suit your own workflow.
If you’ve been looking for a practical method to get important tasks done without feeling overwhelmed, this one is for you!

Today, I'm diving into how AI mentors are revolutionising personal development and productivity in my life. If, like me, you've struggled with motivation or have found yourself procrastinating while working from home, you might be surprised at how accessible mentorship can be thanks to AI!
I'm sharing my experiences with setting up weekly coaching sessions with my AI assistant. Discover why I believe this could be a game changer not only is it available 24/7 and incredibly affordable, but it learns more about me over time than any traditional mentor could. I’ll take you through my reasons for turning to AI, how it helps me overcome setbacks, and why I think it’s the future of coaching for entrepreneurs.
I'll keep you updated as I continue to experiment with this approach, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or experiences with AI support. Join me as I explore whether AI mentorship could make all the difference in staying accountable and moving forward.

Today, I reflect on how our problems are all relative—and why empathy is so crucial. After a revealing weekend among friends, I share my thoughts on how everyone faces challenges unique to them. In this episode, I discuss the importance of supporting others, staying humble during good times, and genuinely celebrating the successes of those around you. It’s not about whose issues are bigger; it’s about recognising each individual’s journey and offering understanding. Join me as I dive into life lessons learnt from personal experience, and why practising empathy can make such a difference—for ourselves and those we care about.

Today, I’m sharing my approach to running every single day while keeping up with life’s demands. If you’re thinking about starting a running streak, or you’re already on one, this episode is packed with practical advice on fitting your runs around your routine, family life, and even unpredictable weather. I talk about how I set a regular running time, multitask during my kids’ football training, always have a contingency plan for busy days, and plan ahead to avoid unnecessary stress. Plus, I share insights on how extreme weather like a UK heatwave can change your plans. I hope my experience helps you keep your streak going, no matter what life throws at you!

In today’s episode, I dive into the reality that progress doesn’t always happen at lightning speed—and that's absolutely normal. As someone who’s committed to daily growth (and yes, still running every day for our fundraising mission!), I’ve felt those ups and downs: weeks when I think I’ve wasted time, only to look back and realise real progress has been made—just not always visible. I reflect on how emotion can distort our sense of productivity, and why comparing ourselves to others (especially on social media) is a dangerous game. Plus, I share why it’s so important to celebrate others’ wins and leverage opportunities and resources wisely—all while staying focused on your own, unique journey. If you’re an entrepreneur or simply someone driven to improve, this conversation is for you.

Whether you're curious about getting started with AI agents or want to know how they're reshaping the modern workplace, you'll want to listen in.

Welcome back to my daily diary of a Runpreneur, now on episode 1865! Today, I’m diving into that classic saying: “The older you get, the more stubborn you become.” Is it really true? From my own experience at 43, I’d say yes—but not entirely! In this episode, I open up about how my resistance to certain business activities (yes, marketing, I’m looking at you!) has grown, and how I’ve found creative solutions to avoid what I don’t want to do while still moving the needle forward. I talk candidly about business partnerships, the failures, and the learnings, and why I'm now turning to AI as my new “business partner” to handle those tasks I dread. If you’ve ever struggled with change or resisting tasks in your entrepreneurial journey, this one’s for you. Tune in to hear how I balance stubbornness with adaptability, and maybe even pick up a few ideas on working smarter, not harder!

In today's episode, I reflect on a powerful lesson from my journey as an entrepreneur—how taking a simple breather can completely change the outcome of a heated meeting. Inspired by a real-life experience with my business partners, I dive into why giving yourself and others the space to cool off leads to faster, more amicable resolutions. Drawing from Dr. Steve Peters' “The Chimp Paradox,” I explain how our emotional state impacts communication and decision-making. Whether you're in business or navigating tricky discussions at home, this episode explores how stepping away—just for a few minutes or hours—can make all the difference. Plus, join me as I continue my mission to save children's lives through my ultimate barefoot ultra marathon run. Tune in, and remember: sometimes the best move is to pause.

In today’s episode, I open up about a crucial lesson learned from my own experience as a business owner: the importance of documenting key meetings and agreements, whether in writing or through recordings. I share a recent situation with my business partners, where the lack of clear documentation led to confusion and could have easily escalated into a much bigger problem. Discover why recording and keeping track of decisions—not just contracts, but emails, audio, or video—can be the difference between a thriving partnership and a potentially catastrophic disagreement. I also reflect on why these simple steps help build trust and accountability, and how AI tools make this process easier than ever. Tune in for practical tips and real-world insights that could save you from unnecessary business headaches!
