Prior to working full time at Propane Fitness, Jonny was an accountancy graduate at a “Big 4” firm when he soon realised he was best aligned when being his own boss enable unbounded income and ownership. Expect to learn the immediate non-financial upsides to leaving traditional employment, why ownership is either empowering or paralysing and how to overcome price structure imposter syndrome when charging for your valuable products/services.

Joe Foster is the retired founder of Reebok and author. I loved reading his new autobiography “Shoe Maker” (available now). A working-class story in its truest form. His grandpa invented the running spike in the 1800s under the business JW Foster and Sons. Joe unravels the entire Reebok story from leaving JW Foster and Sons and the ideation of the name Reebok to becoming the world’s largest sports brand topping almost $4 billion in revenue. Reebok now has Cardi B and Ariana Grande sporting the brand. Reebok recognised that sport became street. Joe, and Reebok, not only were shoe makers but were vehicles for female empowerment. Reebok’s FREESTYLE shoe was labelled as the first sneaker for women. A shoe made from glove leather that became the perfect shoe to support the aerobics craze. Joe tells all in retrospection at 86 years of age! He also shares his thoughts on apprenticeships, what entrepreneurs inspire him today and he gives some words of wisdom to set me on my way as a young 22 year old man. It was a privilege to have Joe on – thanks!

Sam Capps is the host of The Bro Society – an intimate men’s mental health talking group based out of Norwich. Sam’s own life experience encouraged the development of the talking group. Sam has been on a journey of understanding, accepting and forgiving his own trauma and mental health. He came on the podcast today to encourage me to do the same and I swallowed a bittersweet pill. Expect to learn how our belief systems are constructs of our experiences and how we can unpick these to live a more liberated life. Also expect to learn how art therapy can be used to identify and eliminate self-destructive thoughts. Lastly, hear Sam’s opinion on what characteristics the listeners think make a “strong man”. Thanks Sam for such a warm and cathartic experience. - Sam on Instagram -> https://www.instagram.com/samcapps The Bro Society on Instagram -> https://www.instagram.com/thebrosociety/

Lewis McFarlane stops by (again)... You might remember Lewis McFarlane from episode number 2 of the podcast. Lewis is an online coach and a really close friend. So, I am super excited that he opened up to me on another podcast. This episode is a completely different speed and there is no host! Lewis and I share our 2021 realisations. We open up about how we have changed since we first came together on the podcast and why these changes in our mindset and lifestyle were critical for our wellbeing. There is really a stark contrast – arguably for the better. We speak about how we ultimately tied happiness to achievement during the initial stages of the pandemic. We spoke about why having what we deemed as a “bulletproof” mindset was detrimental to our mental health. Lewis talks about how he has lost followers due to being more authentic online. We speak about how vulnerability is our new superpower. Lewis also tells all about his relationships and most importantly his plans for pancake day. I also roadmap my entire genesis story and I detail the “why” behind The Development by David Podcast – including all my personal hardships. I hope you enjoy this one and we welcome any feedback!

On today’s episode, I welcome walking talking ball of charisma and radio presenter Jonny Campbell to the podcast. You might recognise Jonny (or his voice) from WESTFM Sundays if you’re Ayrshire based. You might also recognise him as JOBBY - as this how he often accidentally signs off his emails. Have you ever wondered how the heck you even get on the radio? What makes a good presenter? What is the WORST mistake you could make on air? How the call in system works? Expect to learn as Jonny TELLS ALL. This episode was a WHOLE LOTTA fun. We had a great laugh -  it is a much slower paced conversation. That being said – there are some major overarching points of self-development laced throughout. I hope you enjoy this one and we welcome any feedback! You know where to get us. Thanks JOBBY aka Jonny for stopping by.

I am delighted to welcome Equality Campaigner, Mental Health Champion and OWNer of a Facial Birthmark Rory McGuire to the podcast! Thursday 4 February, is Time to Talk Day, which aims to encourage everyone to have a conversation about mental health. One conversation has the power to make a big difference. Through our conversations we can bust myths and barriers, increase our understanding and end the mental health stigma. Rory’s work has been featured on BBC Scotland, Channel 4, STV, Channel 5 and in newspapers across the country. Rory has been recognised as “Young Upstander of the Year” at the NO 2 H8 Crime awards in 2018. Rory has been on a transformative journey. Not only has he transformed physically after tens of surgeries but mentally after opening up about his struggles. Rory details that “telling his story changed his life”. He is the living simulacrum of the importance of talking. For Rory, it really was time to talk. I hope Rory’s story inspires you to talk when it is really time for you to talk. Please share with any friends who might benefit from Rory’s perspective.

Rad dad and co-owner of Shred Skatepark stops by on the podcast. Our conversation maps a lifetime of chasing highs, hitting the red and being able to monetise the process. Craig and I speak about the education system and how it would look in our ideal world. We speak about how culture lag in extreme sports exists in Scotland too. Craig unloads “how to create a skatepark”. He details the overlooked nuances that create the backbone of a local activity haven and community hub. Owning a skatepark was Craig’s childhood dream but the fruition of the park became something deeper than that. The park became an outlet for adrenaline seekers, a parental method to control troublesome children and a rejuvenation vehicle for bmx/skateboarding in the west coast of Scotland. Craig’s mindset and outlook on continuous improvement inspired me – it made me want to live what I love. I hope it inspires you too. Thanks Craig for coming along!

Graeme is the spearhead of "Quest to be a Gymshark". A daily social media campaign that took Graeme 1000+ days to become a Gymshark which continues now that he is part of the team. It is every fitness fanatic’s dream to become sponsored by Gymshark. A huge population of us are aligned with their slogan - “Be a Visionary”. But, how do YOU become a Gymshark? Graeme Eaglesham stops by to unload the quest that underpins his road to sponsorship. He also provides his insight on what it looks like to become and then embody the role of a Gymshark. He outlays the perks that hold hands with the journey. He opens up about transferring his virtues from professional football to online content creation after a career ending injury. We speak about why consistency over time in the right direction yields greater rewards than speed and velocity in the wrong direction – and how this formula for success is inter-transferable to any passion. We also learn about the time Graeme was Santa’s little helper with Noel Mack at Gymshark HQ feeding @benfrancis and team (probably) a macro friendly Christmas lunch! Thanks Graeme for stopping by!

Jubemi is a Nigerian born, London raised, Ayrshire based and Glasgow living rapper and good friend – hes is also known as BEMZ. As rap culture has progressed in the U.K, have you wondered what it takes to enter and navigate the scene – especially in Scotland? Jubemi aka BEMZ speaks his biography for us to better understand it. Jubemi opens up about his journey (from Nigeria to London to Stranraer to Ayr to Glasgow) and the support for his passion in each varying location. He also speaks openly about the racism and discouragement spit-balled at him in less gentrified locations.

Luciano is a natural bodybuilder, men’s physique champion, marketing graduate & good friend. Luciano shares his personal account of winning the OVERALL 2019 UK Ultimate Physiques Championship.
