I met Declan on Clubhouse and he blew my friends and I away with some of the stuff he was saying. So much so we have since become friends and I invited him on the podcast to share his knowledge with you all!Declan is the founder of the company BU, he has a bachelor of health, a Postgraduate Certificate in Positive Psychology and has Practitioner Certifications in NLP, CBT + Acceptance & Commitment Therapy. His entire company is based on the science of happiness (which I know sounds bizarre) but they do some seriously awesome stuff in the company.In today's episode we get into:Declans Story of how he didn't do what his parents wanted him tooThe top regret of the dyingwhy motivation isn't always goodSocial media and mental healthbeing vulnerableWhat the goal of your 20s should beHow to focus on the positive rather than the negativeAnd so much more...This episode also comes with a gift, I have added two downloadable PDF's with some super powerful questions we discuss on this episode, they are completely free and you can find the link in the show notes.Follow Declan:Website: https://www.bucoaching.org/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/declanedwards_bu/Follow Byron:Byron's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Join the Coaching Program: http://drivenyoung.com/coach Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today I joined by Alasdair Barrie. We met on Clubhouse, hit it off and had some fun chats so I decided to invite him onto the show.Alisdair is a marketing growth hacker / Crypto Trader / Relationships dude who has built a following of over 750,000 followers online. He has worked in over 10 industries and helped run one of the most successful marketing campaigns on TikTok, getting free marketing from Dixie Damellio and other massive influencers.I should preference, this is a hardcore episode. Alasdair is super into personal development, he has very strong opinions on university, he wakes up super early and works very hard. I usually stay away from episodes like this because I have a love-hate relationship with the personal development world, I think it is amazing but can also be very toxic. However, I do know a lot of people will benefit from this episode, hopefully, give you some motivation, a slap in the face and a much need perspective shift.I don't agree with everything he says in the episode, and you don't have to either, but this is why I love bringing on new people, I love hearing how everyone lives their life and I am sure there are a lot of things in this episode you will love.So there was your warning, as this gets episode is full-on, but super valuable.We get into:Personal developmentWhy Alasdair heavily disagrees with the University system,The importance of growing your networkHow so many people have a victim mindsetThe difference between being alone and lonelyAnd so much more.As per usual feel free to DM me on Instagram if you enjoyed this episode, and I did want to let you know I am opening up my new 6-week coaching program to new applicants.

Welcome back to the Driven Young podcast and today I am joined by an incredibly smart woman.Dr Majeda Awawdeh, the founder of Global Education Academy, has completed a PhD degree at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Mathematics Education and Cognitive Load Theory. She also holds a Bachelor Degree in Mathematics and Computer Sciences, a Bachelor degree in Education, and a Masters Degree (with high distinction) in Mathematics Education.She is also the author of an incredible book I highly recommend called "Who cares about Maths anyway?, Why Schools are Failing to Teach – An Analytical Overview of the Education System". I read this and learnt so much in such a short time.It is really awesome to have someone like this come on the show who can back up so much of what I talk about with years of research, data and statistics, I also love that she was a teacher and still is, because it helps get across my point, that it isn't the teacher's fault or the school's fault, it is the education system as a whole which is failing to teach.If you agree with my beliefs about the school system or want to find out more about it then this is a great episode for you...Today we cover:Her journey as a math teacherHer transition from turkey to Australia and how different the education system isWhy giving students a "C" or an average mark is pointlessWhat school is failing to teach usWhy teachers are so important and why the standard for teaching is too lowHow people struggle to think for themselvesImportance of creativityAnd so much more.Follow Majeda:Website: https://www.globaleducationacademy.com.au/Follow Byron:Byrons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/FREE Ebook Download: https://drivenyoung.com/stocks-101/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.

Today I sit down and have a great conversation with Aaryan Shah. Aaryan is actually the younger brother of Sachin who episode 36 on the show.Aaryan was born with a condition called Cerebral Palsy. Cerebral Palsy affects body movement, muscle control, muscle coordination, muscle tone, reflex, posture and balance. Basically, he does not have full control of his muscles, he uses a wheelchair to get around... however Aaryan is mentally fine, as you will see in this episode he is a really smart dude.I was inspired by Aaryan after hearing all that he had accomplished at such a young age, whilst being born with this condition. Aaryan has gone surfing, he has climbed mountains, he has done a TEDx talk and I am just scratching the surface.I think the common theme of this episode is so much of your limitations in life are in your mind. And that is exactly what we cover in today's episode. We go into his story, how he has achieved all he has, how he stays positive and continues to grow, how he makes friends, how we are all lucky we just have to take advantage of that luck and so much more.As per usual, reach out to me on insta if you have any questions or are enjoying the show, please considering leaving a rating or review on Apple podcasts and finally I have created a buy me a coffee link for anyone who wanted to help support the show, so if you want to buy me a coffee and help support the show just click on the link at the very bottom of the description.Find Aaryan!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aaryan_s/Follow Byron:Byrons Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/D.Y Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/Tik Tok: https://vm.tiktok.com/J8a8hS3/FREE Ebook Download: https://drivenyoung.com/stocks-101/JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUPSupport the show Hosted on Acast.
