CamBro Conversations

Today’s conversation is with Dr Stuart McGill, professor emeritus at University of Waterloo for 30 years, clinician and researcher. Stu is the number one back pain expert in the world and works with athletes and general population, covering the principles to cure your back problems and sciatica. Having published over 240 papers, and written several books about back pain, I was privileged to host Stu on the podcast. Expect to learn from Stu’s years of experience to better understand the causes of back pain whether they are physical, psychological, social and more. We discuss the common mistakes clinicians and individuals make when it comes to both assessing back pain and treating it. The world has continued to evolve and change during the time that Stu has been researching and practising and we explore how the modern lifestyle can influence pain or causes of pain. Naturally, we learn about combating the sedentary lifestyle whether that is office based or working at home remotely. Having worked with a huge range of athletes across many sports, Stu is uniquely placed to comment on training program structures, the back’s capacity and the demands it can handle. There is so much in this episode and I’ve made sure to upload the video to Spotify and Youtube so you can go and check out any stages where Stu is giving a practical demonstration as well as a verbal explanation. In terms of actionable takeaways, there is lots for you to do after listening to this including reviewing posture, training program structure, lifestyle habits, prehab and rehab, your form when lifting and much more. All the resources we discuss in this episode are linked in the show notes under the ‘Connect with Stu’ section and I’m excited to hear your feedback on what you’ve learned from a true master of his craft and expert. Today's episode sponsor is previous podcast guest, Mike Samuels. Mike is a copywriter who's been responsible for over $170 Million in online sales for his clients, and now teachers others how to become what he calls 'Coffee Shop Copywriters.' He's personally guided over 300 people to the point where they're now earning their living as highly-paid, highly-respected copywriters, earning up to £350 per hour, and getting paid multiple times for one piece of work. Mike is very clear that copywriting is not an easy way to riches, rather, it's a skill that requires practice. However, he's simplified the process, and truly believes anyone who loves writing, and has the drive to earn their living as a writer can do exactly that. He's put together a selection of free templates to get you started, along with access to a masterclass that shows you how to use these templates, and how to find and sign high-paying clients. If this is something that interests you, and you like the idea of earning a great living from your laptop, while mastering an in-demand skill clients around the world happily pay for, head to www.thefreedomkickstarter.com/500templates to grab your templates and free class.

Today’s conversation the return of my round table discussions with Chris Burns, owner of Savage Scholar Consulting and David Hatt, Founder of MTN. You will remember both from previous episodes and 100, 117 and 118 where we discussed self development quotes and overrated and underrated. This time round, we look at the self development drug to greater success. With that success framed from a business and career perspective. This was a last minute location change which meant we had to record in David’s office without our usual set up, so please excuse the slightly reduced audio quality. The value in the conversation is high enough to justify releasing it and I hope you can still appreciate the conversation as these episodes always get great feedback from the audience.

The removal of over 90 minutes of cooking and meal prep each week has been a big win for me, while the meals are tastier and more varied ingredients than I would manage cooking them myself.

Today’s conversation is with Richard Dickson, 25 Year Old Property Millionaire and entrepreneur. This is a marathon podcast of just under 2 hours that was run at a sprinter’s pace. That for me, gives you a great insight into the man that I interviewed - Richard Dickson. Expect to learn about his journey from growing up in the southside of Glasgow, his apprenticeship as electrician to the man we see now on social media with his successful investments and super cars. This conversation goes well beyond the generic story of how Richard became a successful entrepreneur, you’re going to hear about the how but also the why. His mindset, his thirst for knowledge, how he’s applied his personality traits to chase the success he desires. I cannot do this conversation justice in a 90 second intro but topics you will hear include the value of online mentors, MMA fighting, hedonic adaptation and mindset around money, polarising social media, breakdowns of income streams, exciting deals and big financial lessons. We even get onto family, charity, moral compass, relationship dynamics, and self defence. You get it all in this conversation. I love recording with Richard and know so many of you have been in touch asking when this episode was going to go live. Now it’s here, I know you’re going to enjoy it so please take the time to share it with 1 friend or to your Instagram story to make sure others get to hear this powerful conversation too.

Today’s conversation is with Pat Divilly, mentor, best selling author and podcast host. I was excited to have this discussion with Pat, who is someone I look up to and admire when it comes to emotional awareness and ability to articulate how and why he feels and thinks the way he does. This strikes me as a huge asset in the busy hectic lives we all lead in such a fast paced world. Pat shares with us much of his story, the big pivots and decisions he has made as well as the processes he has used to make these. Expect to learn about the 4 energies we can all manage, how to overcome overthinking, negative thoughts, recognise the shadow side of our personalities, and find more purpose in our lives. This is a deep conversation with lots of introspection and analysis, but also a number of actionable exercises we can employ ourselves to develop our own minds. Today's podcast is supported by Crypto Glasgow. Founders Donald and Dec have appeared twice on the podcast sharing the principles behind the best performing investment asset of the last 12 months and the inner workings of the Crypto currency market.

Today’s conversation is with Nick Maggiulli, finance educator, the creator of Of Dollars And Data, and author of Just Keep Buying. Nick’s blog is an incredible resource on all things personal finance and I loved his book Just Keep Buying. Having heard him interviewed a number of times, I bought his book and was straight into his Instagram DMs after I finished it to organise this episode. Expect to learn about Nick’s data driven approach and his Just Keep Buying philosophy when it comes to investing and generating personal wealth. We discuss a huge range of topics including investing during a bear market, timing your investments, buying versus renting, taking on debt, the save-invest continuum, and even how to reduce your guilt about spending money. One fascinating area that you will learn about is the role that the generation you are born in, your age when you start investing, and even your luck play when it comes to personal finance. The last two topics we dive into are Nick’s own portfolio, his experience with Crypto, and how different personality types might respond to his work and advice.

Today’s conversation is with Thomas Erikson, Author, Motivator, and Lecturer. His book Surrounded by Idiots is one of the world’s best-selling non-fiction books and has been translated into over 40 languages. Thomas has devoted over 20 years of his career to helping people communicate with each other, and along the way he’s developed practical and functional tools that facilitate both professional and private life. Thomas is convinced you will reach your goals more easily if you improve your understanding of communication and your surroundings. He utilises the DISC-model to highlight different behaviours, where different archetypes of demeanour and communication are categorised as red, green, yellow or blue. Expect to learn about these different communications styles, how they shape our personalities, how each of the colours behave, listen, communicate, make decisions and more. I ask Thomas about the combinations that we see across society, what job roles tend to favour which colours, and the drivers that sit behind the colour preferences. When it comes to team building or working with others, it’s vital we have self awareness of our own personality types but also know how to recognise someone else’s and manage your style to both get the best outcomes. I loved learning about the different personality traits and I even share my own test results during this conversation as well as exploring the areas that Thomas has worked on himself personally to bring to life how this knowledge and information can be applied.

Today’s conversation is with Dr Yusef Smith, co-founder of Propane Fitness. This is round 2 with Yusef after he appeared on episode 87 talking about making big career decisions, improving the nation’s health and productivity. The reaction last time was incredible, so it was a pleasure to host Yusef again. This time we got together in the Green Room podcast studios during Yusef’s recent trip to Scotland. Since we spoke in September 2021, Yusef has left the NHS so we explore what led to this decision and the factors he took into consideration. It is then a free flowing conversation on a range of topics that I was interested to explore with Yusef. These include meta and virtual reality, calories being added to menus in the UK, having his home professionally organised, removing estorgens from his life for 12 weeks, and even his thoughts on the no fap movement. I know you’re going to enjoy this one and hope you appreciate the beautiful audio quality from the studio.

Today’s conversation is with Innovation and Fintech expert and author, Richard Turrin . Rich was a banker for almost 20 years and a serial innovator throughout his career. Specialising in the design and innovation of new fixed-income products, he saw firsthand how technology, finance, and regulation come together to impact innovation. He made his career by thinking “out of the box” and uses his experience now as a Consultant to put fintech and AI to work for his clients. Based in Shanghai, Rich has witnessed China become a cashless society and shares how this process and I learn more about AliPay and WeChat Pay. Beyond this, expect to learn how China has built its own Central Bank Digital Currency, how this will impact the wider world, and how this Digital currency differs to Cryptocurrency. We discuss some of the recent scandals in the Crypto space which have caused challenges with the legitimacy of some coins and projects as future potential currencies. I’ve been deep down the rabbit hole with Rich’s newsletters and LinkedIn articles, and it’s clear that CBDCs are something many counties are working towards. In the UK, Sunak announced plans for Brit coin while the US is exploring what has been nicknamed FedCoin. There’s a lot of technical discussions within this episode about what sits behind these currencies, but also how they will impact our day to day lives, our privacy, freedom, and level of choice.

Today’s conversation is with Adam Lane Smith, retired psychotherapist turned attachment specialist. Attachment is a topic that I stumbled across through Adam’s appearances on Modern Wisdom and I’ve been down the rabbit hole on Adam’s content ever since from his Twitter, Blog and Youtube to one of his books. Expect to learn about what attachment is and what role is plays in our relationships. Beyond this we dive into different attachment styles, where they come from, how they develop, and what you can do to work on your attachment issues. This was a fascinating conversation and I learned so much during it. There is a large section on evolutionary psychology and the role this plays in the different ways that men and women bond to one another. Interestingly, this leads onto discussions on the differences between male and female depression and mental health , hook up culture and even sex drive and intimacy. Adam is a titan in this space and it’s clear that our attachment styles, our awareness of our own and others around us enable us to live happier, healthier lives with more fulfilling relationships.
