The Steven Sulley Study Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

Steven is joined by former Premier League footballer Steve Sidwell, who shares his journey from the pitch to the podcast studio, reflecting on his career and the transition to life after football. He discusses the challenges of retirement, the void left by the game, and his current training for the London Marathon, motivated by personal connections to health issues. The conversation delves into the art world, the culture of football dressing rooms, and the evolution of player dynamics in the modern game, highlighting the balance between natural talent and hard work Key Takeaways Reflecting on a career as a premiership footballer, there is a deep sense of nostalgia for the experiences of playing, training, and the camaraderie within the team. The emotional connection to the sport and the memories of specific moments, such as victories and the atmosphere of match days, are profoundly cherished. The transition from professional football to training for events like the London Marathon illustrates the importance of routine, commitment, and sacrifice. The discipline required in both football and marathon training highlights the parallels between athletic dedication and personal goals. Effective leadership within a team is crucial, with examples of strong leaders like John Terry and Didier Drogba demonstrating how their presence and work ethic inspired their teammates.  The shift towards a more diverse and sensitive environment in dressing rooms reflects broader societal changes, with a noted difference in how criticism and accountability are handled compared to previous generations. BEST MOMENTS "I miss it badly. I'm talking everything, not just playing... the smell of cut grass, all the silly things like that that you just can't replicate."  "When you get back into training, the commitment, the dedication... you've got to sacrifice stuff."  "I knew my role, I knew what I had to do and I worked it... I had to give 100% and really, really work all the time."  "There's no loyalty in football. You think you're going to be loyal to this football club and that football club will do the dirty on you just as quick as you would if you wanted to leave."

Steven is joined by Dan Edgington of Mayfair Prestige - a foremost supplier of luxury cars. They discuss the unique clientele that frequents the Mayfair Prestige showroom, debunking the myth that only celebrities buy high-end vehicles. Dan talks about his most memorable interactions with down-to-earth clients and highlights the appeal of classic models like the Ferrari 355, and the future of motor vehicles and their emerging technologies. Key Takeaways The clientele for high-end cars is more diverse than commonly perceived, including down-to-earth individuals from various backgrounds, not just celebrities or wealthy elites. Many clients are successful businesspeople who view cars as a passion rather than a status symbol. Certain classic cars, like the Ferrari 355, are considered undervalued and are seen as good long-term investments, especially those with manual gearboxes. It's important to understand market trends and the types of cars that appreciate in value. There is a distinction made between the practicality of electric cars for everyday use and the drawbacks of hybrid vehicles, which may compromise the driving experience. The preference leans towards naturally aspirated engines for a more engaging driving experience. The luxury car market experienced a bubble during COVID-19, leading to inflated prices. Post-pandemic, there has been a correction, with many cars depreciating in value. However, this is seen as a normal part of the market cycle, and dealers can adapt to these changes. BEST MOMENTS "You'd be surprised how normal and down to earth the people that buy the high-end cars are."  "The optimum horsepower for any car that anyone needs on any road is circa about 600 to 650."  "I think McLaren make fantastic cars... but from a business point of view, I get nervous."

Steve engages in a candid conversation with former world champion boxer George Groves about George's boxing career, his thoughts on past fights, the business side of boxing, and the potential of coming out of retirement for the right opportunity. George shares insights into the financial aspects of boxing, reflecting on his own career earnings and the differences in pay between fighters. The conversation also touches on the current trend of exhibition matches in boxing, such as Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul, highlighting the evolving landscape of the sport. Key Takeaways Fighters like Anthony Joshua could have made hundreds of millions throughout their boxing careers. George mentions that he would consider coming out of retirement for a significant sum, highlighting the financial aspect's influence on potential returns to the ring. The exhibition match between Mike Tyson and Jake Paul is an example of the sport's ability to generate interest and controversy. Fighters like Joshua's marketability and success contribute to their financial gains. Platforms like Netflix and Amazon are starting to showcase the sport, highlighting its broad appeal and impact on viewers. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's hard to be a purist with boxing. There's nothing sacred about it. It's the Wild West, and anything goes." "I don't feel old, so it's not like I'm Mike Tyson coming out at 58 thinking let's roll back the years." "If Tyson knocks out Paul, it goes viral. If Paul knocks out Tyson, that's uncomfortable for a lot of people." "Boxing has the ability to generate these kinds of events that capture people's attention."

Andrew Henderson is a five-time world freestyle football champion and seven-time UK national Champion, who despite setbacks in his physical health, has always refused to back down from the most extreme of challenges. In today's show, Steven talks to Andrew about what it means to push past your limitations and reach for success, and how adversity and challenges should never stop you from reaching your dreams. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sometimes, the advice and guidance we receive can spur us on to push back and achieve more. When we are told that we cannot do something, it makes us want to do it even more. You are always going to find adversity and setbacks in anything you do. The key is to embrace it and rise above. Finding your passion is about identifying the pursuits that light your fire, but also the ones that make you buzz with possibilities. If you can't get it out of your head, you may just have discovered where your passions lie. BEST MOMENTS 'They told me that I might never be able to walk again' 'I always wanted to be the best' 'If you want to be the best, you need to think about it all the time' The most progression comes from the mental side' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study        Andrew Henderson Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/andrewhenderson/?hl=en  ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

Lamorne Morris is an American actor, comedian and television personality. He is best known for his role as Winston Bishop in the Fox sitcom New Girl (2011-2018). He has also had supporting roles in the films Barbershop: The Next Cut (2016), Game Night (2018), Jumanji: The Next Level (2019), and Yesterday (2019). Lamorne joins Steven to talk about his family and upbringing, how he has become a household name around the world, and the shared stories of their recent experience together in the Gumball Rally. KEY TAKEAWAYS When you are raised by go-getters, that sense of purpose and thirst for something better, impacts your entire life from then onwards. Connecting with people should always be our first priority in life. Life is far better and more enriched by the presence and gifts of others. Opportunities come and go, but if you don't take them when they arrive, you might regret it for the rest of your life. Always try to be open minded. Dreams are the real fuel to success. Even the most successful people were at the bottom once. The ones who reach the top are the ones who use their dreams as rocket fuel to keep pushing higher. BEST MOMENTS 'The most important thing is connecting with new people' 'If I hadn't done this, I would've regretted it for the rest of my life' 'You have to go through the rough patch' "you have to dare to shoot your shot' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study        Lamorne Morris Twitter - www.twitter.com/LamorneMorris    ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

Steven talks to Caoimhin Agyarko, otherwise known as CJ, whose boxing record is one of the most impressive in the game. Having come from humble beginnings, CJ talks about the burning passion that he has harnessed in order to elevate his path in life, how the places he's come from help to fuel his purpose in the ring, and his ambitions for the future. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sportsmen and businessmen share the same thirst for hard work, self-belief, dedication to their craft, and resilience. People from Belfast, and especially fighters, are proud of where they come from and love to represent the places they come from. This gives them an extra purpose in the ring. When you're following a path that's unfulfilling, it still has value. It teaches you about the things you don't want to pursue, and steers you towards your true passions. Money is vital in securing our livelihoods, but if our passions mean the world to us, it is not the only motivation we need in order to succeed. BEST MOMENTS 'I feel like boxers and business people share the same mindset' 'If you get in the ring with an Irishman, then you know it's going to be a tough night's work' 'Boxing was always my number one priority' 'Money means nothing. I would fight for free' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study           ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

Damon Fryer is a Canadian social media and YouTube star who has earned massive popularity for his autovlogging, which has included personal entries as a supercar connoisseur, racing, reviews, and stunt vlogs. His YouTube channel is called DailyDrivenExotics.   Damon joins Steven to talk about how he acquired his amazing work ethic and how he built an incredible online presence and turned it into one of the most respected lifestyle brands in the world.   KEY TAKEAWAYS   The ways in which we can grow up can inspire the paths we take. If we don't have a lot, then it inspires us to work hard to get more. The only way to build any kind of brand is to start. It doesn't matter if the product isn't perfect at the outset. The important thing is to get going. You have to develop a mindset that allows you to shut out the opinions of others. People's viewpoints are temporary things. The work you create will last much longer. Success is not about the money you gain or the possessions you own. Success is about happiness. Happiness and contentment is the true prize.   BEST MOMENTS   'As entrepreneurs you have this ability to leverage finances' 'You know the puzzle can be put together. You just need to find the pieces' 'You've got to put yourself out there' 'You need to do whatever it is you need to do to get the attention'   VALUABLE RESOURCES   The Steven Sulley Study           Damon Fryer Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/damonfryer/?hl=en   ABOUT THE HOST   The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

In this special episode, recorded in Miami and direct from the Gumball Rally, Steven talks to YouTube sensation and lifestyle influencer, Mr JWW, whose channel has attracted 160 million views and who commands a global social audience of over 1.5 million in 2021. Mr JWW talks candidly about his rise to success in the world of social media, how film changed his life, how consistency can help you to build a following, and of course, about his burning passion for some of the world's most special automobiles. KEY TAKEAWAYS Never let any challenges you have in life, stand in the way of what you dream about. You can always overcome a setback and reach your goals. Building a consistent following on social media is all about being consistent yourself. Post often and make sure you're turning out quality content. Buying equipment so as to bolster the content you make - investing in the items that fuel your content creation - is always a wise investment. Many see these things as luxury purchases, but they are necessities in terms of growing your reach. When audiences grow, the opportunities come far more quickly. This can lead to different revenue streams. Earning money from social media doesn't just come from selling advertising space. BEST MOMENTS  'I never believed this would gain the traction it did' 'When I had a camera pointed on me, I could talk - no problem at all' 'You need to post consistently. Three times a week - minimum!' 'One week on the rally is enough for a decade's worth of stories' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study           Mr JWW - https://www.mrjww.com  ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

James Constantinou is the CEO of Prestige Pawn Brokers, an asset finance expert, and the star of Channel 4's Posh Pawn. James joins Steven on this episode, to talk about the path he's taken as one of the brightest entrepreneurs in the country, the formula behind his incredible success, and how his stint on television has changed life forever. KEY TAKEAWAYS Formal education is the norm laid down by society, but it should never dictate the path we walk in life. You gain far more knowledge and experience from life itself. Success doesn't ever depend on your background or where you're from. Success finds people with enough drive to seek it out, and who work tirelessly to achieve it. Failure isn't about doors closing forever. Failure teaches us lessons about how to succeed. It also means that we are moving closer towards a yes. If you're waiting to be perfect at something, then you'll never take the leap you need. Far better to be as ready as you think you need to be, and learn everything else on the job. BEST MOMENTS 'Always try and sell when you can in the right way' 'I knew from an early age that an O level or an A level was not going to get me anywhere' 'You've got to have drive' 'I get a kick out of a little bit of risk' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study           James Constantinou Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jamesposhpawn/?hl=en ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.

John Salako is an English football coach, former professional player, and sports television pundit who played as a midfielder in the Premier League for the likes of Crystal Palace, Coventry City, Bolton Wanderers and Charlton Athletic. He represented England at senior level, earning five caps, all during 1991 while he was a Crystal Palace player. From 2009 to 2015, alongside his punditry work, Salako coached within Crystal Palace's youth academy as well as for a spell with the first team. John joins Steven to talk about the value of art and cultural enrichment, the ways in which he has learned to protect the assets he has amassed through his incredible career, why hard work matters, and the future of digital in the investment space.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Professionals in their field generally tend to begin at a very young age, giving up much of their youth in exchange for their craft. But we should always take time out to enrich our lives, culturally. Tangible asset classes are outperforming the stock market, and are turning into safe havens for investors who wish to protect their money through these uncertain financial times. We all want success as quickly as possible, but we need to put the work in. You can't hope to learn all there is to know without getting out there and earning your stripes. Money is a great enabler in that it doesn't just provide the material assets we desire - it also buys us the freedom in life to be able to enjoy more. BEST MOMENTS 'There's a whole massive world music and art and film, and it's incredible' 'Art is magical' 'In life, you need to earn your stripes. You need to earn respect' 'You've got to earn your corn. The best thing about money is that it buys you time and gives you options' VALUABLE RESOURCES The Steven Sulley Study           John Salako Twitter - https://twitter.com/johnsalako ABOUT THE HOST The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success.
