On this week's episode I am joined by the super talented Director, Rohan Blair-Mangat, who is a good friend of mine of over 10 years and someone's whose journey I have had the pleasure of watching grow and grow.
I fully appreciated Rohan's time for this chat as he doesn't do a lot of interviews, as his work really does speak for itself! From shooting, videos at football matches, to working with some of the biggest names in music, football and beyond. Rohan has directed projects with the likes of Lionel Messi, Adidas, Wretch 32, 6lack, Bryson Tiller, Nike and even Jay Z himself.
There's so much to learn from Rohan and his humble persona, as well as the untold amount of experience and knowledge he's gained over his career. So get your notepad ready for this one!

This week’s episode is very special, as the interview comes from the very first Dreamer’s Disease live show. At the event last month, I was joined by Meggan Roxanne who is not only a friend but a huge inspiration on my work as the founder of thegoodquote, who have over 30 million followers online.
Meggan’s work spreading inspiration and positivity is second to none, but what I love most about her is how humbly she talks about her work and what she’s achieved. In this episode we spoke about creating the very first picture quote, the importance of self-discipline, steering clear of negativity, believing in the greater good and Meggan’s own personal transformation through the whole process.

Some topics we discuss:
“Regular exercise doesn’t only help you lose weight but also improves sleep quality, self-confidence, energy levels and more”
How often do you exercise? I tend to go for 4-5 times a week from going to the gym, doing yoga and playing football. We all know exercise is good for us, so in the latest In Focus session I wanted to delve a little deeper into the not-so-obvious benefits of exercise and also some of my experiences.

King CookDaily is someone whose journey I have been following for a while and have been massively inspired by having seen his journey from opening his hugely popular CookDaily Vegan restaurant, to building a real sense of community around the brand, and sharing his positive message online.
Having worked in Michelin star restaurants and fine dining venues, King is now a full Vegan and figurehead for the scene. We spoke about his journey through his career as a chef, how his family and roots gave him self-belief, how getting stabbed and being left fighting for his life gave him the motivation to succeed.
King's journey has been truly inspiring and I was super chuffed to sit down with him for a chat.
