Life Is more Beautiful When We Support Each Other
I have been fortunate enough to be asked to motivate, help and support social entrepeneurs in their mission to make life better for those less fortunate.

Business Insurance for Hard to Insure Groups
People face challenges getting insurance for all sorts of reasons, bad credit history, CCJ, risky occupations, or maybe like me you have a criminal conviction. One of the biggest challenges I had trying to rebuild my life after my release from custody was shedding the perceptions that other people had of me. Believe me nothing feels worse than having to disclose your convictions only for the person on the end of the line or across the table to ultimately judge you or say no. Even now with everything positive I have done I still feel cold sweat and that knotted feeling talking about the crimes I have done. Even if people say it is non-judgemental you still feel the change in atmosphere, that change in their attitude or how they look or sound. That's why for many when they they decide to go legit and they knock on doors only to get it closed in their face they give up. When I set up my company it was a no brainer, even with a conviction that would never be spent (It was 12 years reduced to 10) it had to be done and that is when I came across this AMAZING company and just as importantly my broker Mark. He has never failed me and he is the one contact in this field I would recommend without hesistation.
The Power Of the First Followers
This was one of the legendary first videos shared with me at the start of my journey and it remains the most powerful to me and still makes me giggle to this day. It is one of the most quickly forgotten rules of any business yet utilised right can change the landscape.
Give Yourself Permission
One of the first lessons I had to learn was how to give myself permission and it is one of the hardest things to do when you are starting out, perhaps lacking personal power, unsure of yourself or if you suffer from imposter syndrome.

Are you getting enough Headspace?How are your stress levels? Do you know how to take care of yourself? Have you heard of the Headspace App? If not you could be missing out. I know quite a few social entrepenuers who swear by the Headspace App. Why? Because life is stressful not just business, let alone those who are trying to save the world as well as their families. Don't like apps? Well there are a number of books well worth checking out that cover the principles. Why not check them out here

Thought Leadership Podcast
St Giles is a social justice charity helping people held back by poverty, exploited, abused, dealing with addiction or mental health problems, caught up in crime or a combination of these issues and others. They show people there is a way to build a better future – for themselves and those they care about – and help them create this through support, advice and training. In this podcast they spoke to me about the importance of relationships, how I build them, the lessons I've learned, the people I've met and helped, and much more.
