The top 3 things I learnt from spending a week at Dan Pena's castle 1) Have a thick skin, business is tough, people will do you over, call you names and lie about you. Dan Treats his mentees tough to prepare them for this. 2) You can improve your chances of winning against people smarter than you simply by out working them. Dan makes you stay up late watching videos about business while having a few drinks then wants you up bright and early ready to attack the day He does this to replicate life. Most people will lay in and rest the morning after, the winners will get up and attack the day no matter what 3) Leverage others peoples reputations and skillsets. I have done this relentlessly and make sure I only partner with people better than me in my weak areas
Lewis Hamilton "It's important for everyone to stand up for what they believe in." Standing out for your convictions is more crucial now than ever. Your unique perspective influences both you and society. Demonstrate boldness, empathy, and conviction when driving change. Speak up and live your truth. Standing up for your views is critical. It establishes your identity and has a good influence on society. By demonstrating bravery and empathy, you may help to effect substantial change while maintaining your own integrity. Your voice and actions matter.

2nd place is the first loser. Remember that dude who lost to Michael Phelps by just a few millimeters? What about the guy who came 2nd behind Usain Bolt? Or the guy that finished behind Tiger Woods at the Masters? Don't click of this page I know you just tried to look it up... The point is you can't. History doesn't remember those who win 2nd place. History is written by those who WIN. And in order to Win you need 3 things. 1. You need to be crazy enough to try. 2. You need to be smart enough to seek guidance. 3. You need to be strong enough to never quit.

So this episode with First Focus CEO Ross Sardi got me thinking... our experiences are kinda what shape us into the leaders we're meant to be. Hear me out. Think back to the most challenging moments in your career: → Those late night projects. → The impossible deadlines. → The tough decisions. Each challenge and experience pushed you to grow, to adapt, and to innovate. But they didn’t just build your career; they built you. They’ve helped to shape your character, your resilience, and your perspective on life. And each step you take is a step towards becoming the leader you were meant to be. Anyways, I’m rambling! Would definitely recommend checking out the full episode. I swear it’s not just CEO talk. It’s for anyone who has a vision and a passion to succeed in any aspect of their career.

An important insight and lesson to remind us to enjoy the journey and focus in our intrinsic value instead of external validation.
The night Matt Damon won an Oscar, at only 27 years old, he found himself at home reflecting on the award and realising the profound hollowness of the achievement. In this interview with Graham Norton, he shares: "Imagine chasing [the Oscar] and not getting it. And getting it finally in your 80s or your 90s, with all of your life behind you and realising what an unbelievable waste of your life... It can't fill you up. If that's a hole that you have, that won't fill it." It's a valuable lesson that self worth comes from inside. No external validation -be it awards, praise, or the opinions of others - can substitute for the fulfilment that comes from recognising your own inherent value. Self worth is not dependant on what others think of us. It's determined by what we think of ourselves.

Contentment does not lie in external achievements. Matt Damon learned this when he was young. If you reach your goal and expect to feel different you’ll be chasing happiness forever. It’s all a cliche but how to actually achieve it: In my talks and workshops, I always emphasise the importance of having a range of motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic. Don’t get me wrong, it is important to strive for external goals. In the Northwest Passage we we utterly determined to achieve two world firsts and complete the route, which we did. And through that external goal I facilitated intrinsic goals too - being immersed in nature and camaraderie. I’m proud of the achievement and content with the experience. That wouldn’t have been possible if I only focused on one outcome. Strive for goals+love the journey+share it with others=lasting contentment. You can draw on one, the other or all three to judge success on your own terms.

In the final moments of the 90 minutes... Jude Bellingham’s incredible stoppage time bicycle kick sealed a lifeline for England. This moment wasn’t just about skill - but about perseverance and trust. At half-time, many were calling for changes, questioning Gareth Southgate's decisions. But Southgate stood firm, believing in the team that got them there despite a bumpy path. He didn’t make hasty changes, showing trust in his players. In business, when times get tough, it’s easy to think about drastic changes. But success often comes from believing in your team, sticking to your plan, and showing resilience. The real power is in backing your employees and the people around you, the ones who’ve been with you through the journey. Remember, trust and perseverance can lead to those spectacular moments of success. Keep the faith and support your team – that’s where true strength lies.
