Our weekly 15 minute (or less!) Mindset Moment this week debates the 4 day working week trial about commence to in the UK.

This really will become a contentious topic if the results indicate it will be implemented. So many questions spring to mind and Simon and Ben try to unpick this in 15 minutes or under. As always never afraid to offer their opinion.

Is the time right for this so soon after the pandemic? Is this a welcome step change for families and people that care for others? Will there be a loss in productivity…and what will the average Britain do with an extra 24 hours leisure time a week?

Enjoy the (mini) show!

Ben and Simon discuss the future of technology and specifically AI and how it might shape the world of business and entrepreneurship. How far are we from robots replacing our role in the employment market, and what can we do to prepare for such times. Is this all just a terrifying vision of the future or something to embraced.

Expect a tour around Google’s offices, flying taxis and the question…will robots ever pay taxes?

Enjoy the show!

Ben tells us about a study focussing on rats treading water, and the resilience uncovered under certain conditions. We deep dive into this subject This show is packed full of value…and analogies! We love an analogy as you know! Expect, 4 minute miles, elephants tied up and an an SAS assault course….all converted into what it means for the human mind when trying to succeed!

Our final episode of 2021! And what a year it has been....

From our launch back in May we're now midway through our second series and stopping for our short break over Christmas and New Year, ready to come back for the second half of Series 2 fully recharged and ready to go again.

Aside from taking time to reflect on our own achievements from 2021, we'd just like to say a huge, heartfelt thank you, to all of our listeners who have supported us along the way with this podcast so far.  All the messages we've received have been overwhelmingly positive and thank you so, so much for all the listens, downloads and reviews!  We're looking forward to even bigger and even better things on 2022!

We just had a go..........

Big love,

Ben & Si

We kick things off with property investor and entrepreneur Danny Inman. We discuss luck, the importance of consistency and go all in debunking the "get rich quick" gurus that seemed to have flooded the entrepreneurial space. Hearing Danny's story from starting in a spare room to developing a multi-million pound property and training business should inspire all that listen.  Enjoy the show!
