Life doesn’t play fair, but Che Brown hits back hard. This entrepreneur’s journey is a wildfire of grit and grace, and it’s a thrill to hear. Once a stuttering kid, jobless and broke, he still flashed a smile and crowned himself The Happy Entrepreneur. Husband, father, grandfather, caregiver—he balances it all with a chuckle.
Che turns losses into victories with a no-nonsense recipe: trust yourself, master the essentials, and hustle (inner strength, outward moves, relentless effort). Basketball dreams fizzled—too small, no leap. Bankruptcy stung—his first venture tanked on risky calls. But he fought his way up, showing grit outshines raw skill. For college students, this is your soul food. Buried in deadlines, dodging friend chaos, or crushing on someone oblivious—ring a bell? Che’s story murmurs: the sweetest wins take time to simmer.

Gary Booth turned a life-altering haemorrhagic stroke at 30 into a full-throttle mission with Checkered Flag Motorsports—a high-octane community where neurodiverse folks (stroke survivors, amputees, kids with autism) find purpose and joy. Picture ex-forces amputees tearing around the UK’s fastest tracks or an autistic kid thriving on racing’s rhythm.
In this heartfelt episode, Gary opens up about the real stuff: the crushing fatigue, society’s side-eye, and why truly understanding someone’s struggle is the ultimate respect.
For uni students, it’s a raw look at resilience and empathy—perfect for navigating friendships, supporting a mate, or figuring out your own path. No fluff—just 32 years of lived grit and a “why the hell not?” spirit that’ll shift how you see what’s possible.

Mastering your emotions could flip your life upside down—in the best way possible. I’m chatting with Noble from EQ Gangster, a guy who’s been through the grinder, clawing his way from an emotionally wrecked mess to someone who’s cracked the emotional intelligence code. He’s raw, unfiltered, and doesn’t shy away from spilling how he went from shouting at his wife to rebuilding his marriage, faith, and career.
In this episode, Noble shares a dead simple way to grab your feelings by the scruff, and it’s the kind of practical you’ll want to steal for yourself. If your emotions are running riot—or you’re just drained from faking it—this one’s for you.
Oh, and Noble? He’s the EQ Gangster—rocking a killer beard, slick tattoos, and a drive to help people ditch decades of emotional baggage. He’s lived it, learned it, and now he’s dishing it out.

Ever wondered if life’s curveballs could be your hidden superpower? In this episode, I’m hanging out with Rob—fitness entrepreneur, Shut Up and Grind podcast host, and basically a human energy boost. He’s the youngest of seven athletes, a former stutterer who now owns the mic, and a high-jump legend who smashed records after being told he’d flop. His story’s a raw, wild ride, and I’m stoked to dive in with him.
Rob’s got this vibe—competitive but chill, less “all about me” and more “let’s level up together.” He started a fitness gig in his garage during a recession and pumps up uni kids and shy dream-chasers to find their spark. He shares unreal stories—like helping a writer with Asperger’s land dream jobs or turning a shaky pitcher into a total star. Rob’s all about vision, hustle, and grit, and I’m here for it.
I love how he flips the script on that “uni, job, retire” trap, seeing gold where others see nada. Oh, and his “emotionally bulletproof” take? It’s stuck with me big time. If uni’s got you dizzy, self-doubt’s sneaking in, or you just need a shove, Rob’s journey might just be the fire you need.
