Louise Perry: The Case Against The Sexual Revolution Apr 13, 2023

Show notes

Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion around sex and sexuality, sexual assault, rape and consent.

Louise Perry is a journalist and author based in London. She is a columnist for UnHerd and the director of The Other Half, a new non-partisan feminist think tank, and the host of Maiden Mother Matriarch, a podcast about sexual politics. Last year, Louise released her first book ‘A Case Against The Sexual Revolution’ and in this episode we break down each chapter in turn. The conversation does cover some pretty controversial topics so it’s worth remembering that, as with all our other episodes, we recommend you take what you hear with a pinch of salt, and take the points that resonate most with you.

How To Build A Million Dollar Marketing Agency In 1 Year - Carrie Rose (Rise at Seven) Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

Carrie Rose is the 29 year old co-founder and CEO of leading search-first creative agency Rise at Seven. Rise at Seven was founded in 2019 and in its first year brought in $1.8 million in revenue from working with some of the biggest names in the business, including ASOS and PlayStation. Fast forward to year 3 and this became $9 million and she’s also expanding her to the US as well. Carrie is an absolute powerhouse in the PR industry and in the episode she offers so much valuable business advice from how to pitch, to getting investments and also shares what she’s learned about marketing and advertising while growing her business. We also talk about teenage Carrie, and the challenges she faced in her early life, growing up in a disadvantaged area as well as dealing with grief from a young age and how that played a role in her journey to become the CEO she is today. Carrie is probably the most down to earth, positive vibes person we’ve had on the podcast so far and I really hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.

A Millionaires Masterclass In Business, Side-Hustles and Passive Income - Mark Tilbury Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

If you’re a fan of YouTube you’ll probably be familiar with the name Mark Tilbury, but if you’re not, Mark is self-made millionaire and social media educator who teaches business, personal finance and investing to millions and especially the next generation. Mark has an incredibly inspiring story. He left school at 16 with no qualifications or money, and his first job was making wooden trash cans, and it paid less than $2 per hour. He took the risk to start his own business and 30 years later he is a 7-figure CEO. In the conversation we talk about all things entrepreneurship including how to start your first physical or online business, what it really means to think like an entrepreneur and the power of passive income. Mark believes anyone can become wealthy by thinking like an investor & entrepreneur and hopefully this episode will show you how you can too.

Heal Your Brain: How Your Gut Secretly Controls Your Brain Health - Dietitian Sophie Medlin Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

Believe it or not, if you’ve been feeling like you just can’t bring yourself to focus, are constantly battling procrastination, or even struggling with low mood, it’s probably because you’re not looking after your gut. In this episode I sit down for a conversation with Sophie Medlin, one of the UK's leading experts on gut health. Sophie is a dietitian, chair of the British Dietetic Association and a lecturer at King's College London. In the conversation we discuss how the connection between gut health and mental health has become an emerging area of research, how to feed your body with the right foods to optimise your cognitive performance and we also discuss weird and wonderful nutrition myths that have been circulating on social media over the past few years. Enjoy!

Liv Boeree: Poker Rules Of Life, Game Theory, AI & Effective Altruism Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Liv Boeree is a World Series of Poker and European Poker Tour champion, and the only female player in history to win both a WSOP bracelet and an EPT event. Liv’s story is super interesting, because she actually has a degree in astrophysics and combined her science background and passion for games to get into the world of poker and win all these championships.These days Liv spends her time as a science communicator and games specialist, and focuses on educating others about how to apply scientific rational thinking techniques and things like game theory to the decisions we make in our everyday lives. Navigating through decisions in life can be a pretty difficult sometimes, but the single thing this conversation taught me is that, there’s a lot of principles we can steal from poker (like thinking processes and resilience strategies) to help us along the journey. In the conversation we talk about a whole bunch of things and by the end of the episode you’ll learn:

Game Theory: How lessons from poker can help you build resilience, and make better decisions for your life.
Effective Altruism: How humans can become better philanthropists by using logic and reason to figure out the most high expected value thing we can do to solve the worlds most pressing problems.
Safe AI Development - Why AI is the most high-stakes creation by humans to date and what their implications are for our future.

Enjoy!
