Gordon is a leadership and development expert who spent many years building successful teams himself around the world. He’s worked with Barclaycard, London Electric, TUI, and DHL to name just a few.

He’s also written a book of which the title, ‘Leadership - It’s A Marathon Not A Sprint’ is very relevant to this podcast.

Gordon’s an ex-rugby player, but started running when he signed up to run a marathon to raise money for charity, after a number of friends were diagnosed with cancer. Now he’s got a bunch of marathons under his belt, and is training for the Valencia marathon later this year. He’s a believer that we can all be doing more than we think, because we’re not afraid of hard work. We’re afraid of failure.

There’s something for men and women alike in this episode though, as Dan, like so many of us, believes he wouldn’t be the man he is today without running in his life.

Despite his successes on the outside, (he was an award-winning senior army commando, helped grow a multi-million-pound business, a former owner of a successful fitness company and, until recently, a national champion in indoor rowing), Dan talks candidly about his experience of a mid life crisis in 2017, which spurred him on to re-evaluate how he lived his life and how he now invests in his health - both mentally and physically. 

Dan is also the founder of ‘Men & Mountains’, a group which goes on hikes once per month to get outdoors with other like-minded men. We’ve linked to the group below if you’d like to find out more information.

Annette talks to Ant about financial and lifestyle freedom and how she helps her clients to manage a work / life balance and still run successful businesses. When she’s not crunching numbers or mentoring clients, she’s either out in the Scottish mountains or holed up at home with her husband and two kids.

Cameron Johnston is the CEO and founder of Riixo, a company that makes products that help with sports injury recovery and performance.

He’s a former professional rugby player who has represented Scotland and the GB 7’s team. A serious injury shortened his playing career and after that he took up a new challenge and qualified as a chartered physiotherapist. He joined the army and spent time as part of a UN peacekeeping force in Central Africa where the idea for his business came about.

Although a lingering issue with his back means he is now unable to run, Cameron shares some incredibly interesting takes on how sport and business can align to assist with goal setting and managing new ideas.

Jason talks about how his goal setting in running translates to his business. He’s a firm believer in learning from mistakes in order to grow in his business life and in his running. Running taught him that failure is ok and is part of the process, especially after losing out on a five figure sum when a business project he wanted to get off the ground didn’t quite go to plan. Not every race we enter and run is going to be great and Jason explains how they can be used as a learning process, both as a runner and as an entrepreneur.
