Today’s conversation is with Matt Smith. Matt is a serial tech entrepreneur and the founder of Upitch. This episode is an entrepreneurial story of love, greed, ambition, glory, Cancer, bankruptcy and pain. Expect to learn what business life was like at the start of the .com and internet era, the dos and don’ts of scaling and selling a business, what happens when you hit rock bottom financially, how to identify the right business partners and staff to complement your skillset, the value of humour in the darkest of times, and Matt’s plan to create 1 million new millionaires. Today’s episode is sponsored and supported by Hussle. Hussle is the way to get access to 1000s of UK gyms, pools and spas with one simple membership. I’ve been a Hussle user since 2014 when my first graduate sales job took me down to Manchester, Leeds, Norwich and beyond. It enables me to access gyms wherever I am with work or socially as well as get access to specific facilities like saunas and spas. Hussle is, of course, available to individuals, but what is really exciting is that companies can now partner with Hussle to give their staff members fitness access as an employee benefit. Anyone who listens to a podcast like this one knows that making it easier to exercise and access facilities is a great way to boost employee physical, mental and financial wellbeing.

Today’s conversation is with Ruari Fairbairns. Ruari is the co-founder of One Year No Beer, podcast host and Ted-X Speaker.  Having built a successful career as an oil broker, Ruari went on a journey to redefine his relationship with alcohol and has gone onto build and inspire a movement that empowers others and challenge society's perceptions about alcohol. Expect to learn the potential cost alcohol can have on health, productivity, and relationships, the deep rooted societal impact of alcohol, the power forces, traditions and advertising spend which engrains it into so much of our lives, and why you don’t have to conform. Ruari offers insights into his journey of breaking free from alcohol, emphasising the benefits on mental clarity, physical health, and personal success. Like any time I’ve discussed a conscious reframing of alcohol and elective sobriety on the podcast, this episode does not necessarily address those impacted by Alcohol Use Disorder or an addiction to the substance. Today’s conversation is primarily focused on seeing where alcohol is holding uni back from your potential and seeing what you could unlock. Ruari shares some amazing data that just 6% of people want to give up alcohol completely, but the vast majority of the remainder surveyed do want to reduce their intake and reassess their relationship. I know this episode can help you do that. Today’s episode is sponsored and supported by Hussle. Hussle is the way to get access to 1000s of UK gyms, pools and spas with one simple membership.

Today’s conversation is with Dale Crossar.  Dale is a coach, podcast host, and the owner of Bulletproof Studios. Expect to hear why Dale was known as Coach Crossar long before he was in the health and fitness industry, how night shift and sleeping in his car led him to finding his path in business and life, how to identify where your existing skills and passions could be applied into a business, why loneliness is not the curse you think it might be, and much more. It was amazing to sit down with Dale in his own podcast studio and dive into his story and perspectives.

Today’s conversation is with Oliver Burkeman. Oliver Burkeman is the author of The New York Times best-seller Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals. Our relationship with time management and productivity is a complicated one and often a flawed one. The type of person who listens to a podcast like this one knows the importance of managing time and if you’re anything like me, you’ll always be trying to fit in more and achieve more in the time you have.  Expect to learn how not to fall into the efficiency trap, the importance of recognising the limitations on your time, questions you can ask yourself on what activities you should do, what your goals with time could be to feel more fulfilled, and the danger of having productivity debt.  Oliver is my favourite author and thinker on the topic of all things productivity and time management, I know you’re going to benefit from assessing your relationship with productivity and time, as well as, of course, some practical tools you can use too.

Today’s conversation is with The Critical Drinker.   Critical Drinker reviews, analyses and commentates on various forms of entertainment, primarily movies and TV shows. His YouTube channel has grown to over 2 million subscribers in the last few years and for very good reason.   Modern cinema is in a mess. It is now a lot less about entertainment and instead is focusing on pushing social, cultural and political ideologies.   Expect to hear why Hollywood has decided to push the progressive woke message, why Rotten Tomato reviews between fans and critics are so different, just what on earth has happened to the once great Star Wars brand, the process of fan baiting, and so much more.   DEI hiring policies and culture has come under the microscope in recent weeks after the failed assassination attempt of Donald Trump, very few places have been worse impacted by DEI than cinema and I think we all long for a time when movies entertain us like they used to.   It was great to host Critical Drinker on the show and he really is carrying the torch for Scottish creators on YouTube, so please show your support for this episode and share it with a friend or family member or even your Instagram story so that someone else in your life tunes in and joins the CamBro listenership this week.   Connect with the Critical Drinker: YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@TheCriticalDrinker   Connect with Col: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/ Email List - https://mailchi.mp/548e38ba5942/colincambro My community - www.patreon.com/colcampbell  

Today’s conversation is with Connor Beaton. Connor is a men’s life coach, founder of ManTalks and an author focusing on men’s wellness and personal growth. The modern narrative for men is confusing with conflicting messages around opening up about our struggles all while being a stoic man and having your shit together. Expect to learn why all work starts in pain, the one rule of men, why there is a delta between society’s expectations and men’s realities, the myth of male vulnerability, successful mechanisms for real change, and the key steps Connor took to unfuck his life.  I’ve followed Connor’s work closely for over 18 months and know he has such strong contributions to the discussion and, of course, the actions around a better future for men, their wellbeing and lives. It was a privilege to host Connor on the show and I hope you all get huge value from the insights in the next hour. If you did, please take the time to share this episode with a friend, we really do grow and make an impact one recommendation at a time.

Today’s conversation is with David Pinsof. David is the Co-Creator of Cards Against Humanity, Researcher at UCLA Mind Labs and popular blogger on human motivation.   We are often guilty of telling ourselves a story that explains why we want particular things, particular achievements, and particular experiences. The why and stories behind these are often very flattering, and make us sound noble, but ultimately are really bullshit. We do not truly understand our motivations, and this is part of the human experience.   Expect to learn why everything is bullshit, the difference between bullshitting and lying, why it’s hard to admit you want status, why it’s so important to outperform the previous generation,  and why suffering is a vital part of life.   Connect with David: Twitter - https://twitter.com/davidPinsof/ Substack - https://www.everythingisbullshit.blog/ Connect with Col: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/ Email List - https://mailchi.mp/548e38ba5942/colincambro My community - www.patreon.com/colcampbell
