Videos

I have selected these videos to offer a range of perspectives; including a snapshot of one of my episodes of my podcast, The Mindset Exchange. They’re perfect for a quick boost of insight, a moment of reflection, or exploring some themes that could be addressed in life coaching.

This the first 30 minutes of my latest episode on The Mindset Exchange podcast. I’m joined by Marnie Wills - CEO, founder, and AI strategist - whose journey has taken her from international athlete and teacher to entrepreneur and business leader.

We cover:

▪️ Identity shifts through career and business transitions

▪️ The athlete mindset in leadership and entrepreneurship

▪️ Redefining success - from chasing metrics to finding meaning

▪️ Why leaders need an AI-first mindset, and where to begin

▪️ The future of work - with 64% of Gen Alpha’s jobs not yet existing

It’s not just a conversation about technology. It’s about how we keep showing up as humans, staying connected, and using AI to amplify what matters most.
