This one’s huge. We’ve got Danny Crates on the pod – Paralympic gold medalist, world champion, and an all-around legend who’s turned his life story into a masterclass on resilience and determination. If you need inspiration, this episode is for you.

Danny breaks down the moment everything changed – a freak accident that cost him his arm. Instead of letting that be the end, it became the start of something bigger. From hospital days full of humor to stepping onto the rugby field with one arm, Danny’s story is all about thriving through adversity. He even takes us through training for the Paralympics, going from bronze in Sydney to gold in Athens. This guy doesn’t just compete – he dominates, and his mindset is something we can all learn from. 

But it’s not just about medals. Danny opens up about life after sport – transitioning into broadcasting, becoming a top keynote speaker, and applying his “5 Pillars of Performance” to business and everyday life. He’s got this amazing ability to connect elite athletics to high performance in any field. 

We also dive into the mental side – what separates good athletes from great ones and the mental barriers that hold people back. Whether you’re an athlete, business owner, or just looking to level up, Danny’s story will light a fire under you.

Hit play and get ready to feel fired up. You don’t want to miss this one.

In this no-holds-barred episode, I sit down with Love Island's Davide Sanclimenti, as he finally sets the record straight on his whirlwind relationship with ex, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu. This is the last time Davide will address the drama, rumours, and shocking truths that have circulated since their breakup. 

Davide spills the tea on everything from their “fake proposal” to the shocking claim that Ekin-Su was in touch with her ex just before entering the Love Island villa (he has proof!). And what about those cheating allegations against Davide? He answers it all with brutal honesty, bringing the real truth to light for the very first time.

From their time in the Love Island villa to the dramatic events post-show—including “falling in love”, the infamous Ibiza incident, and a £1M robbery that may not be what it seems—Davide gives listeners an exclusive peek behind the curtain of their relationship.

He also opens up about his personal journey, including the mental health toll of fame and the reality of navigating life in the spotlight after the villa. And if you're wondering what’s next for Davide, he’s got some big plans on the horizon that you won’t want to miss! 

This episode is filled with exclusive revelations and insights that the tabloids don’t have, making it a must-listen for fans of Love Island and anyone curious about the real story behind the headlines. 

Tune in now to hear Davide’s side of the story for the very last time!

It's time for another business round-up! 

This week, I offered someone over 10 times their going rate. Why did they turn it down? I also switch up my business networking with some 5-a-side football.

We discuss sales and recruiting following some great advice from Lauren Tickner earlier this week : https://youtu.be/-lf9az8pYoM 

Finally, there's talk about a book I'm reading and why you should treat business, like hospitality.

My Weekly Round-Up will run every week and focus on my best business stories and advice from the past week! What have I been up to? What has gone wrong? And most importantly what can you learn from it?

I hope you like it! I hope you learn from it! And we’ll see you next Sunday!
