In this inspiring episode of What's Important To You?, James sits down with entrepreneur, author, real estate investor and podcast host Marty Hofmann to explore why living intentionally is one of the most important decisions we can make.

But beyond financial success, his mission has become helping people create lasting impact by living with greater purpose and refusing to settle for complacency.

Whether you're feeling stuck, questioning your direction, or simply looking for inspiration to take the next step, this episode is a powerful reminder that meaningful change begins with today's choices, not tomorrow's intentions.

This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation, where the focus is on clarity of vision and why so many people struggle to make progress, not because of a lack of effort, but because they haven’t clearly defined what they are working toward.

Radhika shares how her work in Radical Product Thinking developed from real-world challenges, not theory, building frameworks that help translate vision into everyday decisions and actions. As she explains, when teams align around a clear vision, conversations shift from opinion-based debates to more grounded, objective decision-making .

We explore why traditional goal setting can sometimes limit growth, and how a shift in mindset, from targets to puzzle setting and puzzle solving, can lead to deeper learning, better decision-making, and more meaningful progress. Instead of chasing outcomes, Radhika encourages focusing on the process of reflection, adaptation, and growth along the way .

The conversation also touches on common challenges, including constantly changing direction, focusing only on positive metrics, and losing sight of the bigger picture. Radhika highlights the importance of questioning assumptions, staying aligned with your vision, and allowing that vision to evolve over time.

This episode is a thoughtful and practical look at how clarity, self-awareness, and structured thinking can help create real, lasting change.

Key Takeaways

• Clarity of vision is essential for meaningful and authentic change
• Vision helps guide decisions beyond personal opinion

When leaders understand this connection, they are better equipped to create cultures where people feel valued, motivated, and able to perform at their best.

Hanna explains why strong leadership is not just about strategy or systems, but about recognising and developing the human potential inside organisations.

Dr. Aumatma also explains the role of the microbiome, declining testosterone levels, and why sustainable lifestyle changes are key to hormonal balance, fertility, and long-term health.

This episode reframes fertility as a reflection of overall vitality and encourages listeners to listen more closely to their bodies and respond with informed, compassionate action.

• Infertility as a symptom, not a diagnosis
• Inflammation, stress, and reproductive health

She ‘took a break’ from being fit and healthy for about 10 years whilst working all over the world as a stressed out business consultant when she became a self confessed large lady lard-arse.

Inspired by London 2012 she turned her life around. She swapped blocks of cheese and bottles of wine for healthier choices and tentatively laced up her trainers and started to run.

Slow and steady at first, she set her sights on running the Reading Half in 2013. It was an horrendous day … but once wrapped in tinfoil, nibbling a banana and having treasured bling around her neck she knew she was hooked.

Since then she has run countless half marathons and 18 marathons. She has a good for age time to run London and has another 3 marathons booked to run later this year.

She is now a coach, The Cheesecake Runner, and works with runners, who are not typical runners, get then trained, ready and prepared to realise their long-held dreams of running a marathon.

Today's guest knows that most small business owners want to build a successful business whose reputation precedes them and where the sales and growth look after themselves. To do that, they need a unique brand strategy, a story that sells and customer experiences so amazing that their clients become raving fans.

The problem is that most company directors are not marketers and don’t have hours to waste trying tactics they find randomly on Google. And they’re worried they'll crash and burn if they don’t have accountability to help keep their marketing engines humming. Every business owner deserves an opportunity to achieve their company’s vision, even if they’re not skilled marketers.

She gets it because she studied customer experience in 2015. She is a practised performance coach with qualifications in coaching sales, culture and emotional intelligence. She has co-authored a #1 bestselling book about Customer Experience and is a StoryBrand certified guide. With ongoing support, she helps her clients level up their Marketing Strategy, Style, Story and Sales to get more clients and grow their dream business faster and easier.

She is the founder of CX Creators and Deirdre Martin Consulting.

In this episode, I’m joined by Niki McGlynn, a neurodiversity specialist, coach, and creator of movement programmes designed to integrate retained primitive reflexes. Drawing from her own lived experience as a neurodivergent woman and mother of two neurodivergent children, Niki shares how movement can improve focus, concentration, posture, and emotional regulation while reducing anxiety.

We explore the overlooked role of primitive reflexes in learning and development, the impact of modern education on childhood activity levels, and how understanding neuroplasticity opens up practical ways to better support neurodiverse individuals in schools, families, therapy, and even the workplace.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Primitive reflexes are foundational for development and learning.
• Movement is essential to integrate reflexes and support brain function.
• Fear reflexes can hinder emotional regulation if left unaddressed.
• Today’s education systems often neglect the importance of physical activity.
• Retained reflexes can affect posture and concentration.
• Integrating reflexes enhances learning and reduces anxiety.
• Creativity and the arts play a vital role in holistic education.
• Businesses benefit from better understanding and supporting neurodiverse employees.

In Their Words:

• "It's about balance."
• "It's a whole person thing."

He created the “ChangeCreator formula”, after more than 2 decades of research, working with some of the greatest minds in the business. He has been emerged in the study of ontology over the past decade.  His main area of focus has been linked to mindset – why we think as we do, and how to change our behaviour. His love of science led him to the belief that everything can be measured, which created his belief that if you cannot measure, you cannot change.

When it comes to what we do not know which is keeping us stuck, there are 3 levels:

1. Level  is when we do not know what we need to do to create the change we desire.
2. Level is when we know what we need to do, but we do not know what is keeping us stuck.
3. Level  is when we do not even know that we do not know. This happens when we are not conscious that we are the biggest obstacle in our own way.
   

He firmly believes that this is the major stumbling block on our path towards positive change in any are of our lives.  With this in mind he has developed the worldwide first Ready, Get Set, Go measuring system for finance, health, entrepreneurship and relationships.  

This scientifically researched program is based on decades of research into this area.

He is also the author of the books “Liftoff, the secret keys to launching your goals”, “The ChangeCreator forluma”, and the soon to be released “Ready, Set, Go in life”.  He is featured weekly on radio 702 / Cape Talk the biggest radio talk show in South Africa as the resident change guru.  

He is the creator of many world class programs like “The ChangeCreator Formula”, “The Chdissapear ChangeCreator formula for business”, “The law of compensation for business”, “Advanced thinking”, “Coaching the sale”,”The four creative mindets”, and many more.

In 2021 he Created the world class GRITability coaching and measuring system.  It is based on SPOT technology – which uses the foundation of Science, Psychology, Ontology and Technology.  Added to this, he is also completing the new COMMITability coaching and measuring program.

She has discovered the reasons behind this and has come up with a way of helping parents achieve their number one priority, care for their children, while also taking care of themselves so they can make it through even the most emotionally challenging and draining days." 

The insights she shares are related to how we can identify limiting beliefs, negative self-talk, or sabotaging thoughts.

For most of us we have got on the merry-go-round of using affirmations, feeling like they are not working, giving up, becoming cynical, becoming desperate and then trying affirmations again.  For some of us, it doesn't work.  Laurie's systematic approach helps you figure out your specific needs and targets only those.

She offers training in positive intelligence and coaching for your individual situation.  Her clients all agree that the support she offers is beyond compare."

She is a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach and choose a to train with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition because they have over 30 years of experience in training Health Coaches around the world.

She started my journey of natural and holistic therapies promoting probiotics as a very successful Medical Representative for one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world. 

Funny enough, this is when she discovered that there is actually a connection between taking probiotics and migraines. And just like that, her passion about how our body-mind-soul actually works was flared up, and I am still very much on that amazing journey.

After more than a decade of working in private and public health systems, she decided to merge her passion of studying the human body, anatomy and physiology with my own gift of empathy and kindness and dedicate myself to helping women to heal their own bodies and emotions through nutrition and mindfulness.

She uses BIO-INDIVIDUALITY as the foundation of her work because I believe that as a coach you can only help your clients if you meet them where they are on their own journey. She dedicated her work to support busy and overwhelmed women to move from a state of surviving and procrastinating to thrive with a fulfilled and happy life in a happy body.

In this rich and reflective episode, Norma O’Kelly, Systemic and Transition Coach invites us into a deeper understanding of wholeness, identity, and the quiet power of simply being seen.

We explore the principles behind systemic coaching, where the focus shifts from fixing problems to reconnecting with inner resourcefulness and the places we come from.

This isn’t surface-level coaching, it’s rooted in authenticity, belonging, and the courage to surrender to change.

Key Takeaways:

• You’re not broken — you’re whole, and capable of regeneration.
• Resourcefulness isn’t about learning more; it’s about remembering what’s already within you.
• Family roles and systems shape identity more than we realise.
• “Right sizing” ourselves in family and professional spaces creates healthier dynamics.
• Being useful in coaching is more powerful than just being helpful.
• Authenticity fosters deeper, more impactful coaching relationships.
• Most clients are more ready for deep work than they think.
• Endings aren’t failures, they’re often the doorway to something meaningful.
• Transitions are hard and support, connection, and place matter deeply.
• Feedback from trusted people can reveal strengths we’ve forgotten or overlooked.

In Their Words:

• "I thought I was broken."
• "What's the point?"
• "Let go to let come."

In this episode, I’m joined by Amanda Grace, trauma-informed therapist, integrative coach, and creator of The Serenity Project. After her own eight-year recovery journey, Amanda realized that the wisdom of recovery could benefit everyone, not just those in sobriety. She created The Serenity Project to make those tools accessible to anyone seeking emotional freedom and belonging.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Sovereignty is essential in making authentic choices.
• Creativity can serve as both healing and expression.

Michelle opens up about her late ADHD diagnosis and how it brought clarity to a lifetime of feeling misunderstood.

Her deep sense of fairness and passion for human potential are woven through her work as a keynote speaker, behavioural profiler, and founder of The People Reader Ltd.

Key Takeaways:

• Fairness and neurodiversity
• ADHD, late diagnosis, and reframing the past
• Communication and public speaking with impact
• The power of personalised behaviour profiling
• Why collaboration > competition
• How to value your natural strengths

Her journey started more than 10 years ago, when she found herself in the grips of debilitating back pain, a condition that led her to not one but two back surgeries.

These experiences forced her to pause, look inward, and embark on a profound journey of self-discovery.

She realised that true healing was not just about fixing her body but also about understanding the root causes of her suffering.

During this journey she came across Human Design, which could be described as a “user’s manual for who you are”.

Human design, with its unique insights into our individuality and the way we are designed to interact with the world, played a pivotal role in her life.

It made her realise that she has been living out of alignment with her true self most of her life. This was the aha moment that changed her life.

She believes that discovering who you truly are, connecting with your true self and embracing your uniqueness is magnetic and the cornerstone of a joyful life.

Embracing your true self has rippled effect in all areas of your life touching our relationships, career, and overall well-being and leads to an aligned and fulfilled life.
