The Power of Your Dark Side in Sales! Ep 73 Michael Hanson
How does Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow show up in sales? What is the shadow? How can you use it to your advantage? And what do you need to be avoiding?
Listen to a fascinating show with Michael Hanson on the concept of the shadow in sales.
As Carl Jung puts it, “The shadow is that hidden, repressed, for the most part inferior and guilt-laden personality whose ultimate ramifications reach back into the realm of our animal ancestors…
It can now be ascertained on closer investigation that the unconscious man, that is his shadow, does not consist only of morally reprehensible tendencies, but also displays a number of good qualities, such as normal instincts, appropriate reactions, realistic insights, creative impulses."

Growing Up in The Children of God Cult! Ep 68 Petra Velzeboer
Petra Velzeboer is a renowned author, psychotherapist, TedX speaker, and CEO of mental health consultancy PVL.
Born into a notorious cult ‘’The Children of God’’, Petra was raised in a strict environment where individuality and self expression were discouraged. Travelling the globe, she learned firsthand about cultures and people but was sheltered from education, books or friendships outside of the community.
Raised to believe the world was going to end, she took her birthright as god's endtime soldier seriously, turning a blind eye to cruel and unusual punishments, abuse and the fact that the world never did in fact, end.
Leading a double life for many years, she knows firsthand the toll it takes to wear a mask of conformity on one side while leading a hedonistic escapist life on the other.
Eventually the cracks started to show, falling pregnant at 22 and moving to London to start a new life with a boyfriend outside of the community. Life had enabled her to escape and offered up a new path.
In this episode of the show we take a deep look into Petra’s journey, from her time in the cult, to her life afterwards and the struggles she faced along the way, eventually leading her to a life of service and leadership.

Mental Health, Suicide and Prevention - Ep 53 Will Castle
Will Castle is a real estate professional who also works as a volunteer Community Ambassador for the men’s health charity Movember.
In this week’s show we go right back to a short recap of one of our most impactful episodes with Will.
After losing his father to suicide over 12 years ago, Will brushed his feelings under the carpet and kept his story extremely private. Most of his colleagues weren’t aware of what he went through and it was never spoken about amongst his friends.
Ten years later, when COVID hit, Will wanted to do something positive and without understanding the potential impact he could make, started to talk about his experiences with the aim of raising money for Movember.
Later that month, he published a first-hand account of the day itself and raised over £16,000 and was in the top 5 Movember fundraisers in the country.
He now works part time for the charity as a Community Ambassador travelling up and down the country to share his story with the aim of breaking mental health taboos, raising suicide awareness and of course raising much needed funds in the name of men’s health.
To date Will has raised over £25,000.
Outside of his charity work, Will is a husband and a father of two boys. He loves spending time with his family and going to watch his beloved Arsenal Football Club.
