James Clear is the author of the new book “Atomic Habits”.  He has been my go to habit guy for the past 4-5 years, helping me to improve my habits and myself without even knowing that I exist. I’m someone who likes to know why something happens, and then what to do about it. The reason I follow James is that he helps me with both. He explains why simply and then gives me practical tips to apply straight away. James is fascinated with habits and human potential. The central question he is trying to answer through his work is, “How can we live better?” In order to answer that question, he uncovers the latest scientific research and explains it in a way that you can easily understand and actually use. As he shares these science-based ideas for living a better life, he likes to showcase the habits and rituals of athletes, artists, and entrepreneurs. By analyzing the stories of top performers from many different fields and understanding proven scientific principles, we can start to tease out the common characteris

This week on the podcast we have Erin Scammell a.k.a. The Stolen Stylist. If you’ve seen pictures of me, most of you know I probably don’t have much in the way of style (think poncho photos). One of my favorite parts of the conversation is where Erin lets us know how developing your own style actually helps you get uncomfortable and take on challenges.   Erin is an exciting young woman who regularly takes on new opportunities along with the discomfort and uncertainty that go along with them. She shares her perspectives on these in our chat.   Some of the topics we cover are; Being a parent in business Getting uncomfortable geographically Where I can improve my style How less can be more Evaluating opportunity And of course getting UNCOMFORTABLE Links: Website || Facebook || Instagram || Pinterest Show-notes: About herself and her first move (6.00) Her motivations for each step (10.20) How her experiences reshaped her into the person now she is (14.50) Questions she asks herself (22.30) Challenges she face

3 years ago, Mel was unhappy, unhealthy and unfulfilled. She is a wife and a mum of two young children, therefore a role model but a few years ago, she wasn’t a very good one. She lacked energy, enthusiasm, and confidence. She was avoiding social occasions. She overate, didn’t exercise and created an unhealthy environment for her family with her depressive, self-pity attitude (her words). She was not a happy person and this was projected in her daily life.   Through a series of events (most of them unfortunate), Mel started to claim her life back and change her direction.   Today she has transformed her body, but more importantly her life and her mind. She is healthy, happy (most of the time), owns a fitness studio and is a personal trainer, and acts as a mentor to young girls teaching them to love what their bodies can do, rather than what they look like.   Mel and I chat through this transformation here, some of the practical aspects of her change, what she hopes to achieve, and what she still struggles wit
