Transcribe →Entrepreneurship 101 in its first season, features Andrew Parr talking about being a UK therapist, trainer and author with 33 years of clinical practice and over 20,000 one-to-one client sessions.

His book The Real You is published by Penguin Life, and he has trained more than 500 practitioners in his own root-cause approach to lasting change. He's come to see that real transformation is less about anything we typically call therapy, and more about de-hypnotising ourselves from the invisible conditioning we live by. He's especially good on a question most people have felt but never had answered: Why we stay stuck even after years of therapy and self-help, caught struggling with something that feels like it's inside us, yet outside our control, and what actually finally shifts it.

Transcribe →Entrepreneurship 101 in its first season, features Jake Shannon talking about Stop Owning a Job: How Founders Build a Company That Runs — and Sells — Without Them.
Jul 1000:28:02Tap to summarizeJake Shannon Stop Owning a Job: How Founders Build a Company That Runs — and Sells — Without Them Our guest built his career on a brutal question every founder eventually has to face: if you stepped away for 30 days, would your business grow — or would it stall? He's a two-time 10X Performance Coach of the Year and the founder of No1 Coaching, where he installs operating systems that turn founder-led chaos into companies that run, scale, and sell without the owner glued to the controls. As Chief Data & AI Officer for the 10X Performance Coaching Program, he's also at the front edge of using AI to engineer revenue — not as a gimmick, but as leverage built into the system. Here's the twist: he learned all of it on the mat. He's the founder of Scientific Wrestling, the man who revived Catch-as-Catch-Can — the most ruthless grappling style in history — and he coaches alongside UFC legends Pat Miletich and Frank Shamrock. He takes the same principles that win on the mat — leverage, position, pressure, control — and installs them in the boardroom. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jul 800:22:20Tap to summarizeAlan Cordano Alan Cordano has a story that immediately captures attention: he walked away from the opportunity to play Division I football at the University of Hawaiʻi Athletics to pursue entrepreneurship and trading full-time. Instead of following the traditional path, he bet on himself, built his own business, and recently generated over $100,000 in a single month through trading and entrepreneurship. His journey is a powerful example of conviction, risk-taking, and choosing an unconventional route to success. Alan speaks candidly about the mindset required to leave a dream that most people spend their entire lives chasing, how he handles pressure and uncertainty, and the daily disciplines that separate successful traders from gamblers. He shares practical lessons on risk management, emotional control, confidence, and building systems that create consistency rather than relying on luck. His message resonates with entrepreneurs, athletes, investors, and anyone looking to create extraordinary results by thinking differently. Podcast Hook: "What would it take to walk away from Division I football and bet everything on yourself? Alan Cordano did exactly that—and turned it into a six-figure-per-month business. His story is about courage, discipline, and building success on your own terms. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
