Business & Entrepreneuriat

Fréquence : 1 épisode/8j. Total Éps: 186

I believe everyone has a story to tell, through seeking true, authentic insights about the entrepreneurial journey, I provide a platform for our peers to share their stories and inspire those that listen.

Welcome! I’m Sam Thomas, the host of the "Different Hats Podcast." In a world where entrepreneurs often feel pressured to wear countless hats, I believe in the power of authentic storytelling to redefine what success truly means. My mission is to help the 'World to See Success Differently' so you can achieve happiness, purpose, and fulfilment, by sharing real stories from those who’ve navigated the entrepreneurial landscape.

Through engaging conversations with peers and industry leaders like Chris Anderson of TED, I aim to provide you with the insights and inspiration needed to build the business you desire. Unlike other platforms, "Different Hats" focuses on the human side of entrepreneurship, moving beyond the performative aspects to foster genuine connections and meaningful growth.

Happy Listening 🎧

Short Story 15: Beyond Success: Chris Goodman on Mental Health and Finding Fulfillment

lundi 14 octobre 2024 • Durée 19:30

Welcome to another powerful instalment of our short story series, where we explore the transformative moments that have shaped some of the most remarkable journeys over the past six seasons. In this episode, we are honored to feature the deeply inspiring Chris Goodman.

"Who am I?"

This is the question many of us ask when we feel disconnected from our purpose, and it’s the very question Chris Goodman found himself facing in 2020. After nearly two decades as joint CEO of the highly successful Focus Group, Chris had achieved all his financial dreams. Yet, despite reaching the pinnacle of professional success, he found himself battling depression and struggling with his mental health.

Despite his outward achievements, Chris realized that the path to success had come at great personal cost. Two years ago, on World Mental Health Day, we first shared Chris’s story—an open, raw conversation about the true price of success. Today, we revisit this eye-opening episode, one that still resonates deeply.

As Chris poignantly writes in his blog, “It’s good to squawk,” he reflects on the moment he realized:

"On 6th March 2020, I reached the top of the ladder... only to find it was leaning up against the wrong wall."

Chris had followed the script—working hard, building a multi-million-pound business, achieving financial freedom. But in the process, he neglected the most important investment: himself. His story is a powerful reminder that success without self-fulfillment leaves a void that no financial gain can fill.

In this episode, Chris shares his deeply personal journey of realizing that wealth and achievement mean little if you haven’t nurtured your own well-being. It’s a lesson that will resonate with many—those who are on their own journey of self-discovery, striving for more than material success. This conversation offers profound insights on the importance of purpose, balance, and mental health in the pursuit of a fulfilling life.

lundi 5 août 2024 • Durée 14:11

Welcome to another instalment of our short story series, where we revisit some of the most inspirational insights from the past six seasons of our podcast. Continuing with our Olympic theme, we are honoured to feature British Olympic Silver medalist, the extraordinary Leon Taylor.

🌟 Overcoming the Shadows: A Battle with Mental Health 🌟

In this episode, Leon Taylor courageously opens up about his struggles with mental health and depression following the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney. He shares the harrowing experience of returning to the sport he loved after two shoulder surgeries, and the journey to rediscovering his joy and passion.

💪 Resilience in the Face of Adversity 💪

Leon recounts his descent into one of the darkest periods of his life, describing how he almost hit rock bottom. Despite the overwhelming challenges, he learned invaluable skills, demonstrating incredible resilience and strength. His triumphant return to the podium at the 2004 Olympics is a testament to his indomitable spirit and unwavering determination.

🧘 The Power of Breath: Transforming Mind and Body 🧘

In this enlightening short story, Leon shares the transformative practice of breath work and its profound impact on mental and emotional well-being. He explains how simple daily steps can reduce stress, alleviate anxiety, and help us achieve a flow state, providing a powerful tool for personal transformation.

🚀 Cultivating an Olympic Mindset 🚀

Join us for an inspiring conversation with Leon Taylor that delves deep into the mindset of an Olympic Silver Medalist. Learn how to cultivate resilience, harness the power of breath work, and apply these lessons to achieve greatness in your own life.

lundi 7 novembre 2022 • Durée 52:50

In this weeks podcast we hear from the amazing Jack 'The Lad' Hayes. Head of programme delivery at The LoveLocalJobs Foundation CIC, an ambassador for Rivervale leasing and a Breakfast show host MORE radio. This was only the second episode of the 24 hour podcast and I could have talked to Jack for 24 hours. He spoke so openly, honestly and with genuine authenticity it was truly inspirational and powerful, this episode blew me away.

In this fascinating episode Jack talks about:

💥 A painful and difficult period in his life

💥 How at a cross roads at 29, he grabbed an opportunity that changed his life

💥 The belief he has that where you have come from has nothing to do with where you can go.

💥 How he is helping to inspire young people through the Dare to Dream Programme

"The greatest currency you'll ever own is the way you treat other people"

He discusses some of the challenges he has faced in his life from being bullied in school to the period in his life from 2019 to 2020 where he left the Breakfast show after 15 years, lost a dear friend, his beloved mum passed away and had to witness his dad suffer a heart attack just a week after losing his soulmate. His wife had pneumonia and his eldest son collapsed and was rushed to hospital. It was a really powerful conversation and I am so grateful to Jack for sharing this with me. He talks passionately about the importance of surrounding yourself with good people and how being kind, humble and a good person is ultimately our most valuable currency. You can tell how much he loves his role being part of the LLJ Foundation and how they are changing young peoples lives and giving them the belief to Dare to Dream.

Jack's rule for living a fulfilled life:

💥 Choose the people that you let into your life carefully..

#E45 From an Itty Bitty idea to Marketing & Growing a Business | Ricky Whiting

Saison 3 · Épisode 45

lundi 24 octobre 2022 • Durée 01:36:36

My guest on the podcast this week is Ricky Whiting an SEO expert, an author, Studio Director and founder of Itty Bitty.co.uk. He also was in an advert for the flagship Nintendo Mario Bros Game. He was the first person to play the game in the UK and the adverts were used in Europe with over 1.3 million views.

Ricky is one of the most positive, enthusiastic, energetic people I have had on the podcast. He discusses how at a young age he lost his best friend and he made a promise to himself and Russ that he would not take life for granted and have a positive outlook. That mindset helped him to start and build his own businesses. Him and his wife started their company Itty Bitty, an online baby boutique business when he left his previous employment, his wife Kate was made redundant and they had just started a young family. He refers to this period as 'The Wall', as they needed to generate an income to put food on the table and Since opening their doors for business, Itty Bitty has managed to tap into this gap and carve out its own space online with an unrivalled range of styles for babies and kids up to 16 years old.

In this brilliant episode Ricky talks about how they have grown to over 100,000 followers on social media and how he helps other businesses now with their marketing and SEO from the knowledge and expertise they have gained through Itty Bitty. As he says the proof is in the pudding with what we have created from scratch and he shares some great hints and tips with us, the 3 Ps, People - Profit. - Process and how important it is too put people first. He also talks of his desire to stay as far away from 'The Wall' as possible and his vision for future Rick. It is a truly inspiring, uplifting episode packed with energy, enthusiasm and some great takeaways.

#E44 Achieving Your Dreams & Financial Freedom, But Feeling Unfulfilled | Chris Goodman

Saison 3 · Épisode 44

lundi 10 octobre 2022 • Durée 01:34:59

My Guest on the podcast this week is Chris Goodman, Co-Founder & Director of Focus Group, a UK Comms & IT business. Employing over 800 staff across 9 offices, Focus Group delivers innovative solutions to over 30,000 businesses, and has annual revenue in excess of £130m.

He remains deeply committed to ensuring Focus Group has a positive and sustainable impact on those in and around our community, leading on agendas such as employee wellbeing and business culture.

Despite such huge success over the past two decades, it has come with sacrifices, along with his on battle with mental health. Today on World Mental Health Day, he shares his story with us in this truly open and honest conversation. To share a quote from his blog, 'It's good to squawk'

On 6th March 2020 I reached the top of the ladder...only to find it was leaning up against the wrong wall!

Chris shares how during his life he had followed the script, worked hard, built a multi-million pound business but after realising his dreams and achieving financial freedom he felt unfulfilled, because he'd failed to invest in the most precious commodity...himself!

This is a truly eye opening episode that will resonate and hopefully have a great impact on many people on a journey of self discovery, as it did on me.

Chris is a truly inspirational business leader and one I learnt so much from during this episode. He recently founded the Focus Foundation, a charity designed to connect the Focus Group community of employees, customers and industry partners in order to make a positive impact on people’s lives. By Chris also sharing his story, he is doing just that.

#E43 Breaking the Blueprint to be Happy 😊 | Lyndsey Clay

Saison 3 · Épisode 43

mardi 4 octobre 2022 • Durée 01:14:35

My Guest on the podcast this week is Lyndsey Clay, a Qualified Coach, Networking Champion and Social Concierge, who is passionate about connecting people through supporting local businesses to create lasting personal and professional relationships, right here in Brighton & Hove.

Lyndsey's fascinating journey into entrepreneurship started during lockdown, but this is not just a story about business, as Lyndsey shares her personal journey through infertility, miscarriage, IVF and divorce, and how her experiences over the last few years have impacted her sense of self and of belonging.

Lyndsey shared how during some dark times, her road to recovery started by listening to others' stories, realising she was not alone, and in March 2017 she started a blog on Instagram promoting her newfound ethos with the motto:

"when you don’t fit the blueprint, break the mould".

For me her story highlights that when life does not go according to plan, if you have enthusiasm and a positive attitude towards life and embrace it, you can change direction and find true happiness. She has started something extremely special with Connected Brighton as she builds her community, and I wish her continued success.

Everyone has a story to tell... Happy Listening 🎧
