#11 - Jonny Campbell - How on earth do you become a Radio Presenter?
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.

#10 - Rory McGuire - OWNing a Facial Birthmark - Time to Talk
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.

#9 - Craig Maxwell - Shred Skatepark - Cashing in on your Passion
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!

#8 Graeme Eaglesham – Quest to be a Gymshark
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! What an episode!

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.
Expect to learn:
- That hardship was the pen Jubemi used to write lyrics – without his life hurdles the BEMZ tracks wouldn’t exist.
- How to be unapologetically YOU and transcend this headspace into a creative outlet.
- How BEMZ wishes unity and togetherness in the Glasgow rap scene
- How Jude and BEMZ separate themselves on and off stage
We also have an absolute piss take throughout and it was hands-down one of the funniest and most energised podcasts I have done.
Hope you enjoy!

#4 - Colin Campbell - A Google Maps Tour of the Office Athlete's Brain
We all know Colin as Col Cambro - the highly self-regulated, self-disciplined and highly geared Office Athlete.
But, what are the inner workings of a highly performing individual? What would a google maps tour of a brain of this tuning look like? What does a normal working professional life look like for an online influencer?
Colin and I speak past the friendship to better understand his genesis story, his career and his bulletproof mindset.
A mindset so bulletproof that it doesn't recognise loss. Well, not in the same way ours does. In fact, Colin's biggest win is most people's biggest loss...
Intrigued? Tune in to understand what it takes to be RESILIENT in mind.
Expected to learn why INTEGRITY means everything when creating a an online brand, why SELF-EXPECTATION management is imperative to SELF-ACTUALISATION and how to manage RELATIONSHIPS when running full sprint on the treadmill to success.
