Jamie Jewitt On The Interconnectedness of Well-Being and Lifestyle Choices25 Sep 202401:05:49

Steven talks to star, Jamie Jewitt, about everything from sports to personal health and the impact of social media.

Jamie shares his journey from being a model and reality TV star to focusing on his health and fitness, discussing his experiences with various diets, including his current carnivore regimen, and the significant improvements he's seen in his physical and mental well-being

Key Takeaways

  • There is a strong link between physical health and mental well-being. Improving one's diet can lead to significant improvements in mood, motivation, and overall health.
  • Following a carnivore diet has led to remarkable health improvements, including alleviation of digestive issues and joint pain, as well as increased energy and strength.
  • Social media can perpetuate superficial values and create a culture of comparison and negativity. It can also manipulate narratives, influencing public perception and behaviour.
  • Both unhealthy and healthy lifestyles are choices. The default setting in modern society often leans towards unhealthy habits, but individuals have the power to change their circumstances and improve their health.

BEST MOMENTS

"I thought it was really tough to watch. They kept getting into their end and then doing bugger all with the ball." 

"I always said when I was thin, I'd be a fat person if I didn't... if it was up to me or if I took my foot off the gas, I'd go." 

"I think it's important we talk more about that connection and less about this... mental health conversation." 

"I just felt like a fucking pushover, like a... I'm getting handed everything on a platter."

"The media trained us on how to use social media... they can manipulate any single narrative that it wanted."

ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn’t be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.

As a person who has made successes in life, and also made huge cock-ups, I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful, or at least start your pursuit. My ‘Study’ has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception of, successful people - and I know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.

My ‘Study’ coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well-rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.

The Financial Realities of Professional Boxing - with Bryant Jennings28 Aug 202401:22:31

Steven talks to boxing legend Bryant Jennings about his upcoming fight in Philadelphia, his belief in the law of attraction, and his thoughts on the changing landscape of boxing.

Bryant reflects on his past fights against Klitschko and shares insights on potential future matchups. The conversation delves into the complexities of the boxing world, touching on the misconceptions about money in the sport and the challenges faced by fighters in managing their finances

Key Takeaways

  • Money in boxing is not evenly distributed, with only the top fighters making substantial amounts.

  • The perception of boxers being wealthy is often a misconception, as many fighters struggle financially.

  • The current boxing landscape has fewer fighters making more money, compared to the past where more fighters shared the earnings.

  • Managing money wisely is crucial for boxers, as financial success is not solely dependent on earnings but also on financial management.

  • Only the top superstars in boxing, such as Canelo and AJ, are able to secure significant financial rewards, while others may struggle to make ends meet.

BEST MOMENTS

"You always have to speak things into existence and never speak of any doubt." 

"I think he's complete. He's done everything that he can do, and just rightfully so." 

"I think that taking a different route, a little shortcut, is a better option for me." 

"He's done everything that he can do, and just rightfully so." 

"The rise of Saudi Arabia and the money... Is that a good thing for boxing?"

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • In business, it is incumbent upon us to be aggressive when it comes to finding opportunities. nothing must stand in your way.

Discovering Your True Identity With Pride - with Jaxon Feeley24 May 202201:44:55

After years of internal struggles and a career spent in the military, Jaxon Feeley made the life-changing decision to transition from being a woman to a man. Despite reservations and doubts, Jaxon has since become a beacon for those going through similar changes, and has discovered in the course of his own journey, that people's attitudes and approaches to his new identity have been surprisingly supportive, and found in the least likely of places.

In this special episode, Jaxon talks to Steven about his journey so far, the challenges people face when attempting to find their true identity, the effect of social media upon identity, and why we should live life to the fullest each and every day.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Altering our lives in such a radical way is a terrifying enough prospect, as it requires a wholesale revolution of the way we live. It is made far easier by the understanding and support of others.
  • Social media is showing us a skewed version of life, and one that is hard to live up to. The issue is that many only choose to post the positives, instead of the realities.
  • Life is ours for the taking. We only get one shot. We cannot spend our single, unique existence in the pursuit of pleasing others and their preferences. We have to live for ourselves.
  • The process of transitioning is not one to be taken lightly. From a medical standpoint, doctors want to receive assurances that your decision has been made of your own free will, and that you have taken all considerations into account.

BEST MOMENTS

'I didn't know what it was, but I knew that there was something that wasn't quite right'

'The people who are unhappy and sad, tend to look like the happiest people in the world'

'People need purpose'

'The worst thing you can do is make a promise and not go through with it'

Becoming The Best Version Of Yourself - with Gareth Jones17 May 202201:30:09

Gareth Jones is a former rugby player, who has since turned his energy towards business and entrepreneurship. But the journey has not always been a straightforward one. It's a path that has seen Gareth tackling some of the biggest issues out there in order to become the best version of himself.

Gareth talks candidly to Steven about the issues he has faced, how he surmounted them and came back stronger, the role of men and masculinity in modern society, and how altered states and hypnotic states can help us to achieve more in the field of business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When we become the best version of ourselves, we welcome in factors such as happiness, financial freedom, and impactful positivity on ourselves and those around us.
  • When we have damaging problems, and in particular problems with substance abuse and addiction, the instinct is to keep them hidden. But we cannot hope to exorcise our demons unless we bring them out into the light.
  • Success in itself can be addictive, but it requires control. When we see dips in our success, it can lead to the search for similar highs, which could prove dangerous if we don't have the correct mindset.
  • We can only truly connect with others on a global scale when we break down barriers and show each other what is possible through collaboration.

BEST MOMENTS

'I was at war with myself - at war with the world'

'Sport was where I found my way out - where I found my character'

'Being fearless isn't always a great thing, because you disregard other things'

'The subconscious is far more powerful than the conscious'

Charisma, Energy And Passion - Growing A Successful Business Empire - with Lord Aleem10 May 202201:28:42

Lord Aleem is a YouTuber, entrepreneur, and car enthusiast, as well as the co-owner of Platinum Executive Travel (PET), a luxury car hire company.

Lord Aleem talks candidly to Steven about his inspiring rise to the pinnacle of success, the story of his phenomenal business, and the life lessons that have steered him towards growing one of the country's most incredible business empires.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • True success never comes from the easy path. Hard work, facing down your challenges, and overcoming adversity in order to learn lessons, is the only way we truly grow.
  • Having money does not mean that we should show less respect. We must always be careful about the feelings of others, and respect their property and values.
  • Business is largely like sport in the respect that when challenges are faced, it is not about whether we win or lose, but how we come back fighting.
  • Even if we project an outward veneer of perfection, there will always be those who criticise and try to bring us down. This comes from a need to justify their own reasons for not achieving your level of success.

BEST MOMENTS

'Part of being a champion is getting through the tough times'

'I like to think we've weathered the storm and will come back stronger'

'When a teacher wants you to talk in class, put your hand up first'

'All the materialistic things in the world are not what I'm going to be impressed by'

Balance Is The Key To Victory - with Johnny Fisher03 May 202200:57:35

Steven talks to "The Romford Bull", Johnny Fisher, a professional boxer who has already gained invaluable experience from sparring 2016 Olympic silver medallist Joe Joyce and undefeated S-JAM Boxing stablemate Guido Vianello in a recent Las Vegas training camp.

Johnny talks to Steven about the surprising turns his life has taken so far, including a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that steered him away from a more traditional form of education and into the world of sport, the power of association and learning from others, and the story of his incredible rise to success in not just the world of sport, but life itself.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Some take the traditional route through education with no problems at all. But this path isn't for everyone. Some find it far easier to absorb knowledge and gain experience through practical means.
  • Surrounding yourself with people to whom you aspire to emulating, dramatically accelerates your growth in that area. To be the best, you have to associate with the best.
  • Boxing is all about balance. The alpha male element of us wants to push harder and punch faster, but it must be balanced with strategy and patience.
  • We never know where life will take us. Opportunities can appear from any direction. We must have the mindset needed to take advantage of things when they appear.

BEST MOMENTS

'I was very raw. I'm still very raw'

'There's a misconception in our society that you have to go through higher education. But that isn't the case'

'I've always had a raw strength'

'Tough men have short careers'

Inspiration Is What Drives The World Forward - with Charlie Mullins26 Apr 202201:02:49

Steven talks to Charlie Mullins OBE, the founder of Pimlico Plumbers, London’s largest independent plumbing company.

Charlie talks candidly about what drives him, how he's achieved incredible feats in the world of business, the importance of inspiration on the next generation of entrepreneurs, and the personal philosophies that have seen him rise to become one of Britain's most successful and recognisable businessmen.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When we see others doing well, it lights the fire inside us - the fire that spurs us onwards on our own journeys into business and life. Inspiration is what drives others to succeed.
  • The world out there is more level than it's ever been. If you have a dream then the only thing holding you back from chasing it is yourself.
  • If you have the drive and ambition to set up a business and take it to the top, you have to realise that it doesn't come easily. You must be prepared to work hard and be in it for the long haul.
  • It can be hard to sometimes switch from the trade of the business itself, to the running of the business. But you need to believe in the people you’ve chosen to represent you out there. Trust is everything. Learning to delegate is very important.

BEST MOMENTS

'I believe that these are the people who drive the world forward'

'Think big, but also think realistic'

'Businesses are not an overnight success - they're for the long haul'

'It changed the image of plumbing. Suddenly everybody started upping their game'

The Importance Of Being Relentless - with Ryan Burnett19 Apr 202200:55:21

Ryan Burnett is a former professional boxer who competed from 2013 to 2019. He was a unified bantamweight world champion, having held the WBA (Unified) and IBF titles between 2017 and 2018. At regional level he held the British bantamweight title from 2015 to 2017. As an amateur, he represented Ireland at the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics and won a gold medal in the light-flyweight division.

Ryan talks to Steven about life in and out of the ring, the sometimes challenging journey he took to become the world champion, and how he has taken the skills learned in the ring, and applied them to his life and business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Boxing provides a set of life skills that can be carried on through life, such as overcoming adversity, the value of hard work, dedication and focus.
  • Reflecting on our legacies is always healthy, but we must never spend too much time in wishing we'd done things differently, or achieved more. The best of the best are grateful for their achievements, and don't spend time chasing shadows of what could have been.
  • When you have a mindset that wants to achieve more despite any odds, no obstacle can stand in your path. You can overcome anything.
  • Goal setting is crucial. We need to determine our vision and work relentlessly towards it. Without doing this, we become aimless.

BEST MOMENTS

'For every boxer turning professional, your dream is to become the world champion'

'I was very grateful for what I had, not what I could've had'

'When you have a strong mindset, and you're beyond relentless, then nothing matters'

'If I'm going for something, then nothing can stop me'

Be Who You Are And Own It - with Henry Conway12 Apr 202201:02:14

Henry Conway is a socialite, party promoter, author and fashion journalist, occasionally self-styled as "Queen Sloane".

Henry joins Steven to talk about his incredible life, the state of social spaces in London - past and present - the ways in which we should think of the social scene, how social life has become far more liberating and diverse, how media has changed, and how to always be the life of the party.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • London provides a city landscape that plays home to not just the international community, but one of the most vibrant, all-encompassing cultural landscapes in the world.
  • Many assume that clubs are merely in existence to provide a place for recreation and fun. That's very much the case, but it's also a wonderful environment for networking, providing countless opportunities for meaningful connection.
  • There has always been a certain stigma associated with lifestyle, including wealth. Nowadays, we are far more free thinking and liberated, enough to be more comfortable with who we are. People are being encouraged to own who they are.
  • Celebrities often work in league with news outlets, providing them with fodder for their pages in return for payment. But the effect of this relationship has only fuelled the public's desire for more news - for more scandal.

BEST MOMENTS

'I'm a multi-disciplined character'

'Be who you are and own it!'

'In my clubbing lifetime gay has become cool'

'Create the drama - create the content'

Success Comes Through Hard Work And Imagination - with Terry Stone05 Apr 202202:00:34

Steven once again talks to actor and film producer, Terry Stone, who began life as a rave promoter, but who in 2003 switched gears entirely and began a new phase in his life as an actor.

Terry rejoins the show to talk about his new forays into different avenues of business, including cryptocurrency and NFTs, as well as the world of today and how the challenges that keep presenting themselves to society each day are helping to shape the world of tomorrow.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Whatever we think of the world in its current state, no one can deny that we are living in unprecedented, tumultuous and world-shaping times. This feels like the beginning of a new world, and a farewell to the one that came before.
  • We should always be looking for the next challenge. Winners never quit and quitters never win. Find what you’re happy doing and stick at it.
  • COVID and its restrictions have fundamentally changed the way the world works. Digital and remote versions of life have overtaken the way we do everything - whether this turns out to be positive or negative in the long run remains to be seen.
  • The important ingredient in achieving success is not necessarily gaining the right skills or talents to be the best. It's about having the right mindset in the first place. It's about always believing that you can succeed and being prepared to put in the work

BEST MOMENTS

'The only good thing about COVID< Brexit and the war, is that they say it comes in threes!'

'I could've sat on my hands and done nothing. But I thought - go for it'

'You need to become resilient and you need to become resourceful'

'In life, people like to make excuses about why they can't achieve stuff'

The True Meaning Of Bravery - with Toby Gutteridge29 Mar 202201:40:15

Tobias (Toby) Gutteridge, a former member of the U.K. Special Forces (S.B.S), an avid motocross rider, surfer and overall extreme sports enthusiast is the founder of Bravery, an extreme sports brand that supports charities for underprivileged children and discharged members of the Armed Forces. He aims to support and empower those who have dug deep within themselves to overcome their own adversities by finding courage, strength and the resilience to bounce back stronger than ever, rather than sinking into despair.

Toby joins Steven this week to talk about what it means to overcome life's greatest challenges, how we can often rise above the hands we're dealt in life, and how through resilience and willpower we can reach our true potential in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Life doesn't always deal us the cards we deserve in life. We can find ourselves beaten down and at the bottom of the pile. However, if we have the will to rise above, then anything is possible.
  • People are an endless source of creativity and imagination. Even those we pass by in the streets can hide a multitude of talents and skills. Never judge a book by its cover.
  • In order to fully realise out potential, we must keep pushing, keep trying, never quit. Only by doing so can we achieve the confidence we need to find our true worth.
  • Every decision we make in life leaves a scar of some kind. Making peace with the person we become is about making peace with the scars life leaves behind.

BEST MOMENTS

'I thought, I need to change man - I need to do something else'

'We had so much potential, we just didn't know how to harness it'

'I always had this passion, this burning sensation to be the best, keep going, keep pushing myself and to see what my actual limit is'

Victory Begins in The Mind - with George Groves23 Mar 202201:53:30

George Groves is a former professional boxer who competed from 2008 to 2018. He held the WBA (Super) super-middleweight title from 2017 to 2018, and regionally the European, British, and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles between 2010 and 2014. He was ranked as the world's best active super-middleweight by BoxRec, The Ring magazine and the Transnational Boxing Rankings Board.

George joins Steven to talk about life inside and outside of the ring, how the development of the mind has contributed to the physical victories, and how he has managed to navigate the sometimes uneven road to fame across his incredible career.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Life is about narrative, whether expressed through art, sport, endeavour or purpose. Every decision we make contributes to our own story.
  • Success requires sacrifice. Sometimes we reach the top through leaving behind other passions. Every rise to the top has required dedication, resilience and hard work.
  • Mental development is equally as important as physical progress, especially in the world of sport. We cannot hope to succeed if we do not attain mental resilience and strength.
  • Many assume that affirmation comes from the adoration from others. But if we are truly comfortable in our own skin, and have the highest respect for ourselves and what we can achieve, then validation should come from within.

BEST MOMENTS 

'If you want to invest in stories, then art is the way to go'

'Every fight felt like a life and death situation'

'I was developing my mind as well as my body'

'I like individuals, but I don't like "people". This means I don't crave the fame'

Discipline, Determination And Drive Are The Keys To Success - with Mark Wright16 Mar 202201:07:53

Mark Wright is an influential entrepreneur and self-taught digital marketing specialist and speaker, who won the BBC show The Apprentice in 2014 and runs one of the UK’s fastest growing digital marketing agencies, Climb Online, which he launched with Lord Alan Sugar’s backing after winning The Apprentice in 2014.

Mark joins Steven to discuss the crossovers between the world of sport and business, the effects of his television appearance upon his life and career, and how drive, grit and resilience can help you to reach higher and achieve far more than you may believe.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • Discipline is a key tenet of the successful in business. This is why so many professional sports practitioners and those with a military background seem to succeed where others fail.
  • The effects of fame are a mixed bag. On one hand, the elevation of your profile can help to open doors, but there are also downsides. You are suddenly opened up to the more negative side of society.
  • Most people only operate at around 50% of their capacity. The true key to achieving more is to pen up the remaining energies you have. You will be surprised at what can be achieved by doing so.
  • Every successful business person is grounded in the art of resilience. You have to be tough to make it to the top. The tougher you get, the further you go.

 

BEST MOMENTS

 

'I believe the most successful business people come from either a military background or a competitive sport background'

'I couldn't go for a Starbucks without having 50 selfies and talking about business on the street'

'When you're on top you're perceived to be a target'

'The thicker your skin gets, the more successful you'll be in business'

Embracing The New World By Finding Your Place In It - with Aaron Chalmers09 Mar 202201:21:11

Aaron Chalmers is an English retired mixed martial artist and reality television personality who has appeared in the reality shows Geordie Shore and Ex on the Beach.

Aaron meets Steven to talk about the business side of fighting, social media and the pros and cons of the new technologically based world, his philosophy around money and success, and his work ethic when it comes to professional sport.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Professional fighting is a business, and should always be kept as such. When those with bigger followings set up fights, they have the right to enter matches where those audiences are matched.
  • Social media is a tool that the world uses unilaterally to gain an audience and to make money. This can lead to stunning success, but it can also breed jealousy and resentment from others.
  • The key to embracing money is not to think of it as the end result. More money does not necessarily bring happiness, but the accumulation of money does allow us the freedom to be able to follow the paths we find interesting and appealing.
  • Professional sport and training should be treated like a job, because that's what it is. Work is not something we should ever treat as a hobby. We have a small window of time in the professional world. We should dedicate ourselves completely to it.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's about money at the end of the day'

'The world revolves around your profile'

'Money does make the world go round'

'Social media is good if you use it correctly'

Channelling Your Fight Into Positive Directions - with Abass Baraou02 Mar 202201:00:28

Abass Baraou is a German professional boxer who has held the WBC International light-middleweight title since 2019. As an amateur he won a bronze medal at the 2017 World Championships and a gold at the 2017 European Championships, both while competing at welterweight.

Abass joins Steven to talk about the toughness and mindset required to be the best in the ring, what has driven him to the top in the world of sport, the struggles he has faced in life, and how we can channel our energies into more positive directions.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • If you are a boxer and have achieved the mindset needed to step into a ring, then you are at the pinnacle of your prowess. It takes a tough mental game as well as many sacrifices.
  • Growing up in Germany, Abass faced much in the way of racism, but used his fighting skills to overcome the bullies. However, violence only led to trouble in other areas of life. Channelling his skills into sport instead, proved to be the best outlet.
  • During our formative times in life, we should follow our instincts towards the pursuits that walk in sync with our souls. Find the path that makes you tick and follow it through.

BEST MOMENTS

'The mindset of an athlete and the mindset of a business person - there are so many similarities'

'I always had something in me'

'It was about being number one - it was about being tougher'

'I was at the age where I needed to find a path'

Applying The Fighter Mentality To Every Area Of Life - with Leon McKenzie23 Feb 202200:48:03

Leon Mark McKenzie is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward from 1995 to 2013 who scored in all four English professional leagues during his career. He was also a professional boxer, competing in the super middleweight class.

Leon joins Steven to talk about what it takes to succeed at the highest levels of sport, the striking and unexpected similarities between these two sporting pursuits, and why making mistakes is okay so long as you come out fighting.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Information has always been limited to those in the past. Now, with the advent of social media, podcasts and the shared wisdom of others, finding your path through life is much easier.
  • the hard work required in order to achieve success is extraordinary. But once we find our dedication and the flow we need, it is far easier to maintain the high levels required.
  • Never judge a book by its cover, despite what we may assume we know. Those who have grown up dedicated to one pursuit, may always have harboured dreams for another. The fighter mentality allows us to follow our hearts towards different paths.
  • In order to understand ourselves better, we have to make mistakes. Only when we stumble, can we learn the most effective ways to pick ourselves back up, and carry these lessons forward.

BEST MOMENTS

'Football took over in a way where I really wanted to be that'

'Really and truly, I'm a boxer-turned-footballer'

'The world is a very judgmental place'

'You have to lose before you can grow'

Be Brave, Be Confident, Never Give Up: An Actor's Journey with Josh Myers16 Feb 202201:15:38

Josh Myers is a British actor, perhaps best known for his roles in his such as Fighting With My Family, and The Sweeney. Josh joins Steven to talk about his life as an actor, what makes a great screen performer, and how a promise he has made to himself - to always give his best - has helped him towards becoming one of Britain's shining lights of the acting world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Although many assume the life of an actor is glamour and non-stop fun, it's actually very hard work. Those who wish to be the best in the field have to follow certain disciplines in order to grow and develop their craft.
  • Acting is something you can learn to extent, but a natural talent is what pushes the good into the realms of the great.
  • There are many similarities between the art of acting and art of sales. They both require discipline, the ability to inhabit a character, and the need to sell yourself to others.
  • No matter what you do in life, always go at it with your whole self. Never do a job half-heartedly. Give it everything, and you'll always come out on top.

BEST MOMENTS

'People might think I'm a diva, but I'm definitely not'

'I knew I wanted this life for myself'

'You've got to be confident'

'Don't give up and don't let it get to you'

You Can Always Find Light In The Darkest Moments - with James Hawley09 Feb 202201:15:48

Steven talks to boxer, James "The Hitman" Hawley, about the importance of mindset and discipline and how they are tools that can be transferred to other areas of life, the value to be found in constant personal development, and why you can always find light in the darkest of life's moments.

KEY TAKEAWAYS 

  • Challenges force us to retreat sometimes, but if we have patience, and the right mindset, then we soon come to realise that we can push forward once more, and overcome .
  • The best of the best know that in order to be ready to take advantage of opportunities, you must always be match fit. This is why training and development must be an ongoing thing.
  • When dark moments arrive in life, it can often be a blessing in disguise. The paths we are forced to tread can lead us towards new ventures and openings that we may have missed.
  • When we put ourselves in the public eye, we open ourselves up to a whole new world of criticism. This requires a whole new level of mental strength.

BEST MOMENTS

'The fighter's mindset - there's definitely crossover between boxing and business mindset'

'Even if you're on the back foot, if you stay composed and take your time, eventually the tide will change'

'I'm always ready so that I don't have to get ready'

'I believe everything happens for a reason'

Find Your Purpose: An Artist's Story - with Mr Cenz02 Feb 202201:00:56

Steven talks to Mr Cenz, the incredible street artist whose murals and paintings have revitalised and reinvigorated the urban environments upon which they reside. Mr Cenz discusses his process, the purpose and drive that inspires him, and how he has learned to strike a balance in life between the artistic ambitions he still holds to, and the responsibilities of life. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When people look at art from the outside, they sometimes fail to see the sacrifice that artists must go through in order to become a household name.
  • Creators who excel are all following the voice inside - the one that tells them when they are on the right path in life.
  • Dreams are born in the hearts of the young, but as time goes by, these dreams have to filter through the priorities of life. It's about striking a balance between our artistic ambitions and the responsibilities we take on in life.
  • It's all well and good to have a talent, but unless you pour your energy into making it work, and persevere, you'll never achieve success.

BEST MOMENTS

'I feel like I was born an artist'

'If you follow your passion and become the best at that particular thing, you can eventually monetise it'

'You've got to be completely comfortable with your work and style'

'I just keep on pushing - working really, really hard'

Anthony Ogogo is an English professional wrestler and former professional boxer signed to All Elite Wrestling. As a boxer, he competed from 2013 to 2016 as a professional, and won a bronze medal in the middleweight division at the 2012 Olympics as an amateur. He's also appeared on BBC's Strictly Come Dancing.

Few people know more about rising above and coming back from adversity, and in this week's show, Anthony talks to Steven about what it takes to reach the pinnacle of success, and how to overcome adversity when it tries to block your path. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We you dedicate yourself to self-development, whether physical or mental, you learn so much about yourself. We often think we know ourselves well, but during self-development, a whole new relationship begins.
  • It's fine to be knocked off your feet by failures and setbacks, but they should never overwhelm us completely. Always pick yourself back up and try again. This is the best way to overcome adversity.
  • We are never alone when it comes to challenge. Many have taken the roadblocks we face and overcome them before us. Look for the roadmap they used and be inspired by others.

BEST MOMENTS

'I learned things the hard way'

'Whatever you're going through, there's a chance that somebody has gone through it before'

The Continuing Journey Of A True Entrepreneur - with Jonny Garrett19 Jan 202201:13:51

Jonny Garrett is the founder of William Wood Watches, a British luxury watch brand dedicated to his grandfather who served in the British Fire Service for 25 years. Jonny creates unique watches made from up-cycled rescue service materials and donates a percentage of profits to a firefighters charity. 

Jonny joins Steven for the second time on the podcast, to talk about how life has changed since 2019, and how the shape of his entrepreneurial journey has shifted as lessons have been learned. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Far too many people with the entrepreneurial spirit take too long to make the shift from part-time to full time, and before they know it, too many years have passed and the opportunities have eluded them.
  • When we identify our true passions and turn those passions into a profession, work never feels like a chore. It becomes a pleasure.
  • We must remember the human experience at the heart of every transaction. If we do not treat others with respect, and show up as our true, authentic self, then we cannot hope to succeed in the long run.
  • Lifestyle businesses ultimately trump more traditional businesses as they generate products that travel. People around the world aspire to owning lifestyle items.

BEST MOMENTS

'It has never ever felt like a job'

'We have real British firefighting history beating through every single component'

'When you're doing things, don't leave any baggage behind'

'We live in a generation where you can grow a substantial 7-figure business from anywhere in the world'

How Other People Can Help You To Level Up12 Jan 202200:09:33

As one year ends and another begins, it's always wise to reflect upon the goals we've achieved, the ones we're aiming for, plus to look at the wisdom gained across the space of a year.

  • If you want to go far, you can do so alone, but if you want to go further than that, then you need a team behind you.
  • Put yourself amongst those who make you feel uncomfortable and inferior. By striving to be more like them, you will level yourself up.

CRASH Studio Tour NYC 202129 Dec 202100:22:28

Steven is in New York City, and took time out to visit with John "CRASH" Matos, who first picked up a can of spray paint at the age of 13 to cut his teeth as a graffiti artist by “bombing” the subway trains in the New York.

Steven talks to CRASH about the New York scene itself, how the city regards artist, Richard Hambleton, the state of the art market in 2021, and the ever-changing face of New York City and its shifting identity.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Many do not realise that in New York City itself, Richard Hambleton's popularity among art lovers surpassed the likes of Keith Haring.
  • The work of Hambleton took on a legendary place in New York's heart. The shadows themselves became characters that accompanied city-goers through life.
  • Homage is one thing, but we must be careful not to copy someone's legacy outright. It's vital that creatives mark out their own unique places in the world.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's important to show people that we are on the ground here'

'His mind-set was very interesting'

'Anything that can bring his nae back into today is a good thing'

A Master In The Shadows - with Ken Moss01 Dec 202101:08:05

Steven talks to Ken Moss, an art collector and personal friend of Richard Hambleton, about the cultural impact of Richard Hambleton and his work, as well as the enduring legacy he left behind - one that grows in stature with each passing day.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • The best art makes us feel something visceral and internal. We do not necessarily have to like what we see, but be moved by it in some way.
  • The artists use natural environments as part of their canvas realise the value in setting their stories in a particular place. The streets tell their own story, and street art embellishes and enriches that world.

BEST MOMENTS

'It was very real and very visceral, and really got a response from the public'

'Sometimes in life you find your calling'

'That's when the shadows started showing up downtown...'

'Richard was a true artist'

Life At The Top of The Game - with Ashley Theophane24 Nov 202100:55:24

Steven talks to Ashley Theophane, the British former professional boxer who competed from 2003 to 2020, and who held the British super-lightweight title from 2011 to 2012.

Ashley discusses the importance of hard work when it comes to reaching your goals in life, the pros and cons of social media, what life was like at the top of his game, and the lessons he's taken from the world of sport into his own life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • We often only see the positive side of someone on social media, but this doesn't tell the whole story. There are lessons to be taken from the challenges, too.
  • We have to remember that life is beautiful and exists in real terms outside of technology. We have to show future generations that life outside of tech is far better and more productive.
  • The people who achieve more in life are far too busy looking for positives than they are in looking for reasons to take others down.

BEST MOMENTS

'If you're putting someone down online, then how sh***y must your life be?'

'I had to come back to prove people wrong'

The Legacy Of The Shadowman - with Nemo Librizzi17 Nov 202100:16:54

This week, Steven talks to self-described bohemian, Nemo LIbrizzi, described by Paradigm Magazine as having an "innate academic curiosity and fearless need for adventure," making him "a true arbiter of cool."

Nemo talks about the preservation of Richard Hambleton's work, and why his work has endured.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • When we put enough care and attention into the preservation of a legacy, it becomes more than just a. business concern. It becomes a true passion.
  • We are all meant to disrupt and ruffles feathers. If we're not doing that, then we are not reaching the biggest audience possible. Everyone has haters, but they don't attract them wholesale until they become truly successful.
  • It doesn't matter where you come from in life. Art can speak to anyone, especially if it plays upon the elements we all experience in life. We all have a shadow that follows us through life.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's blossomed into a cathedral for the man's work'

'If you have ten player-haters today, you have to work on getting twenty player-haters by next year'

Ben Eine is one of the most successful street artists in the world and is regarded as a pioneer in the exploration of graffiti letterforms. Originally a graffiti writer, Eine started his career over 30 years ago, leaving his first tag all over London before developing his distinct typographic style.

This week, Ben returns to the podcast to talk about everything from the state of the world today, the importance of body art, and the true power of graffiti and its transformative power.

  • Graffiti is about writing your name on the side of an object, and making that name burn into the souls of all who see it.
  • Inspiration comes from many sources, from travel to conversation. We never know when the spark of inspiration will arrive - sometimes it comes from the smallest interaction.
  • There is an intense beauty in the mistaken. Mistakes are how any artform comes to evolve and become something transcendent.

BEST MOMENTS

'No one's ever going to wear a suit to the office again'

'It didn't bloody hurt as much as I thought it would bloody hurt'

The Return of the Shadowman: And Interview with Masked Artist03 Nov 202101:19:13

The name of Richard Hambleton has never been more lauded. In more recent times, an unknown artist has been working on the streets in order to pay tribute to his unique talent.

Nullbureau talks about his ambitions for the project, and why the work of Hambleton has inspired him in such a revolutionary way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Many artists wish to produce a non-gallery experience, and people are far more attracted to this concept these days. The work of Hambleton has energised the popularity of the non-gallery experience.
  • Street art is not the simple application of spray paint to surface, but the communication between souls - of connecting your visual representation to the eyes and hearts of the world around you.
  • Hambleton's shadow work hearkens back to far more primal visual language - one that originated upon the walls of cavemen, and spoke to their sense of humanity and communication at the dawn of time.
  • There is an innate sense built into all human beings, that compels us to seek ownership of the things in scarce supply. This is what drives the commercial art market.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's good to see people adding their pieces to this big puzzle Richard's spread out for us'

'Artists bring that experience to people's lives without telling them - giving them a surprise'

'At your base DNA you know what a shadow means'

'This is a very subversive language to play with'

  • Being Irish is a source of much pride, especially for its sportspeople. This sense of camaraderie and patriotism helps to boost the spirits when needed.

The Unexpected Route To Happiness - with David Cotterill19 Oct 202101:25:39

This week, Steven talks to former professional footballer, David Cotterill, who has since turned the disciplines and wisdom he found in the world of sport, towards the profession of mental health consultancy and public speaking, going on to found the David Cotterill Foundation, dedicated to solving mental health and addiction issues.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • It doesn't matter if experiences have been bad or good, there are always learnings we can take in order to develop and grow.
  • Mind-set is the key to overcoming the problems of addiction. The same powers of mind that help us to win, can also help us to reach higher when we hit the bottom.
  • We should never place the weight of expectation too heavily upon those we nurture. Life is what we dream it to be. We should never crush the dreams of those we guide in order to achieve our own goals.
  • Material possessions can only improve certain moments in life. They never provide true, lasting happiness. Happiness comes from pushing ourselves further, achieving more, and becoming the best version of ourselves.

BEST MOMENTS

'The definition of wisdom is learning from other people's experiences - good or bad'

'I knew what I wanted, and I knew that I'd practiced enough in order to achieve those goals'

'It's important that children follow their own dreams, and not their parents'

Boxing Journalist, Tris Dixon: In His Own Words12 Oct 202101:09:42

Tris Dixon is the former editor of Boxing News and has covered the sport for nearly two decades. He was the ghostwriter for Ricky Hatton's recent bestselling autobiography, War and Peace, and is a regular pundit on Sky Sports' boxing shows.

Tris joins Steven on this episode to talk about his life so far and how he turned his passion for the sport of boxing into the words that have since inspired so many to see it in a new way.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • In the formative years of life, many are striving to prove themselves in physical ways. This can lead to the creation of people who attack, and people built to defend.
  • It's sometimes best not to burn ourselves out in pursuit of physical perfection. Our bodies require rest between sessions, and reflection upon what we have achieved. It's the same with sparring.
  • The perception of boxing is often one of violence, but it also a discipline that teaches control, self-care, fitness and self-development.
  • Finding contentment and peace is the way to true happiness. Chasing an idea of happiness is ultimately unattainable.

BEST MOMENTS

'There are parallels between business and boxing'

'If you're prepared to put yourself out there and box, you can confront a lot more in life'

'It's not about hurting each other. It's about learning'

'If you can just be, then that is the key'

Living Life Under The Lens - with Jack Fincham05 Oct 202100:56:30

Steven talks to actor, TV personality and professional boxer, Jack Fincham, about his time on hit show Love Island and how he won, the effects of fame and how it has changed his life, and the amazing projects coming up in his future. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Fame is an addictive drug that changes life fundamentally. More guidance and advice is needed for those who enter the public eye - everything from emotional wellbeing to financial planning.
  • Surrounding yourself with the right people, and whose path you wish to emulate, is the best way to make sure that people have your back.
  • Fame and public scrutiny adds a number of layers on top of the person that we already were. We are sometimes forced to hide who we really are, which can be detrimental.
  • To truly be happy, you have to find the right frame of mind - one that brings contentment, and never settle for anything less.

BEST MOMENTS

'People only see a version of you'

'You strike me as a natural born salesman'

'I've turned over a new leaf. I'm changing myself'

'You're constantly being watched. It's a bit creepy...'

ABOUT THE HOST

The Steven Sulley Study is my take on success. My view is you should have multiple focuses to be a well-rounded individual. Success shouldn't be just one thing like money, for example, it should also consist of a healthy fit lifestyle and thriving relationships.

As a person who has made a success in life and also made huge cock-ups I feel I can offer suggestions and tips on how to become successful or at least start your pursuit. My 'Study' has taken resources from reading and education plus being around, my perception, of successful people and I, know a lot of successful people from all walks of life.

My 'Study' coming from my experiences in business, investing, sales (my core background), training, boxing and education has enabled me to become well rounded and successful and I will help you in these key areas too.

Capturing The Shadowman - with Oren Jacoby28 Sep 202101:04:45

This week, Steven talks to renowned Academy-Award nominated filmmaker, Oren Jacoby, the director of the definitive study into the life of street artist, Richard Hambleton, 2017's 'Shadowman'.

Oren joins Steven for a very special conversation in which he discusses the vision behind each of his creations, how he has arrived at this point in his career, the future of film as a medium, and the artist behind the shadows in his ground-breaking documentary. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Documentary filmmaking is an incredibly difficult field to work in, as not only is funding not forthcoming, but once it has been found, the real work comes in the form of discovering the definitive truth behind a life and transforming it into a narrative.
  • The art of film is bound to change as new technologies and platforms evolve, but what's truly important is making sure that they can be seen by people.
  • As a filmmaker, we have the opportunity to mark our personal narrative voices out by fighting for the stories we believe in most.
  • Value in art evolves from the politics in the art world. There is far more to establishing a monetary power in art than simply creating work. There are many factors, such as marketing and agency to consider.

BEST MOMENTS

'It's exciting work and we love it, and we're always delving into someone else's world'

'We have to hope that people will appreciate what's great about being in a theatre'

'I you have a huge hit, then people come calling for you'

'You don't win every fight, but you keep fighting for the stories you believe in'

Life In And Out Of The Ring - with The Burmese Python21 Sep 202101:11:55

There are many transferrable skills between sports and business. With this in mind, Steven this week talks to Nicola "The Burmese Python" about the lessons learned in her incredible fighting career so far, and how they can be used to apply to all kinds of challenges in life itself 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • If you can deal with rejection and attacks in a methodical way, then you are well set for a path into sports or business, namely sales.
  • Many fighters have begun to transfer between disciplines so as to make a career out of what they love doing, not necessarily because they want to dominate another art form.
  • There is much in the way of preparation when it comes to fighting, but not so much in what comes afterwards. More work needs to be done in helping fighters who finish in the sport.
  • Restrictions need to be dismantled between males and females when it comes to training. There are too many preconceptions holding back equality in the sporting world.

BEST MOMENTS

'All fighters want to make a living out of their martial art'

'If I'm bad at ballet, maybe I'll be good at the complete opposite...'

'Enjoy every moment, enjoy your life. But don't get too comfortable'

Creating A Winning Instinct - with Ruqsana Begum14 Sep 202101:19:16

Steven meets professional kickboxer and boxer, Ruqsana Begum, a British and World Kickboxing Association female Muay Thai boxing champion and captain of the British Muay Thai Team.

Ruqsana discusses the art of developing a winning instinct, and how it has taken her to the top in not just the sporting world, but also in business and life. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • There are so many obstacles that we must overcome in order to succeed, but some have more to overcome than others, including cultural expectations.
  • The toughest fights we have at any time in life, are the ones that rage internally. If we can defeat doubt and fear inside us, then we can conquer anything external.
  • If people feel threatened by someone, then they often try to control the situation through intimidation or manipulation.
  • It is in the darkest moments that we learn the most valuable lessons. Failure only teaches us how to better succeed.

BEST MOMENTS

'I was trying to discover my own identity'

'The greatest lessons we learn come from the toughest times'

'I was a magnet to those kinds of combat sports'

'I needed to find the merge between both worlds, culturally'

Trading Gifts Between Artists - with Dr Norman Turkowitz07 Sep 202100:33:13

This week, Steven talks to Dr Norman Turkowitz, an experienced dentist specialising in cosmetic dentistry in New York City - specifically the Manhattan area.

Dr Turkowitz joins Steven to discuss his association with street artist legend, Richard Hambleton - one that began twenty five years ago, and which saw the two men trade services in order to benefit the other.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Richard Hambleton was not always financially solvent. In order to receive essential services, such as grooming or dental work, he would trade services with professionals, such as Dr Turkowitz.
  • True artists see the value in the talents of others. The simple act of exchanging money for services can often blunt our perspectives, but often, the trading of talent is far more valuable.
  • Back in the day, Richard Hambleton was regarded as something of a local celebrity. His renown had grown through not just artistic circles, but also among other sectors of life and business.

BEST MOMENTS

'Your paintings become your currency'

'We are so moved by the Hambleton narrative'

'His talent was greater than all of us'

'If you have the chance, pick up as many Richard Hambletons as you can'

A Conversation with Temper - One Of Graffiti's Founding Fathers31 Aug 202100:59:45

This week, Steven talks to renowned street artists, Temper, most prolific in the advancement of spray paint photorealism in the United Kingdom. He was the first graffiti artist to create a conceptual collection on canvas and revolutionalised portraiture in popular culture globally with his "The Good Die Young" concept and collection in 2002.

In this groundbreaking and highly exclusive interview, Temper discusses his doctorate in art, and the vital part he has played in the establishing of graffiti as a legitimate art form.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • There has been a cross-pollination of graffiti into street art, which has subsequently shifted into a more commercialised form, which has led to collaborations with larger organisations.
  • Larger corporations investing in street art and graffiti, allows the younger generations to own a small part of the movement, inspiring them to follow the cultural path later.
  • True artists hear the clarion call from the first moments of life, and spend their existence in pursuit of creation and development.
  • True satisfaction in our careers come from expressing ourselves artistically, and forming the messages we wish to send out into the world. What anyone else does, and how, should always be separate to our own choices.

BEST MOMENTS

'I was born an artist'

'I'm an artist firstly, then I' trying to be a human after'

'I have a conversation with each painting, and once it's finished, I move on to the next conversation'

'I've travelled around my brain like the universe'

Art Is The Passing Of A Torch - with Nemo Librizzi24 Aug 202101:22:19

This week, Steven talks to self-described bohemian, Nemo LIbrizzi, described by Paradigm Magazine as having an "innate academic curiosity and fearless need for adventure," making him "a true arbiter of cool".

Nemo talks about the projects he's been involved with since his days as a graffiti artist, as well as the art market and world of culture surrounding it in 2021.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Artists should not always be labelled so under a single designation. Nemo's interests lie in many different areas and fields, and removing the labels allows him to float freely between his passions.
  • Many artists we consider to be great today, are the ones who express themselves, and have this expression recognised later. Great artists tend not to fit within the confines of what is popular at the time.
  • Graffiti and street art, while slowly coming to the fore, have not yet truly taken their place in the hierarchy of artistic expression just yet.
  • When confronted with darkness, the true visionaries use the fear and emotional reaction, to create something beautiful.

BEST MOMENTS

'I've always made some kind of art or writing'

'Anything artistic, creative, or culturally meaningful - you can count me in'

'Art history has always been the passing of a torch'

'Street art was the most important movement of the 80's'

Art Is A Reflection Of Life - with RISK17 Aug 202100:53:58

This week, Steven talks to fine artist, sculptor, and graffiti pioneer Kelly "RISK" Graval, the man Aerosmith famously called "Risk is to art, what Aerosmith is to Rock & Roll".

RISK talks about his background, how he discovered his identity through art, and how artistic expression is the ultimate reflection of the place we're at in life.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Graffiti and street art was formed on the streets as part of marking territory. In the early days, to mark someone else's territory generally resulted in reprisals.
  • Our artistic identity is a construct built upon the influences and aspirations we experience in our formative years.
  • Our artistic expression is a reflection of the life we live. During our angrier and more experimental years, it's reflected in the work we produce. When we find peace in ourselves, the art carries that message outwards.
  • Collaborations with fashion brands or sportswear brands are not so much an aspirational goal for artists, but more of a rite of passage that generally denotes success has been achieved.

BEST MOMENTS 

'I hid myself in my drawings'

'Collaboration is a rite of passage'

'We grew up in the gang culture'

'Social media is a double-edged sword'
