What if you couldn’t read or write until you were 30... then went on to become a published author, speaker and trainer working with names like Tony Robbins?

In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Darren chats with Brian Mayne, author, speaker and creator of Goal Mapping.

Brian grew up in a travelling funfair family, left school unable to read or write, lost everything after his nightclub business collapsed, then rebuilt his life through sales, personal development and goal setting.

He talks about learning to read at 30, working with names like Tony Robbins, getting published by Penguin Random House, being ripped off during the self-publishing process and why trusting your gut can sometimes save you from a very expensive mistake.

It’s a brilliant conversation about resilience, writing, confidence, sales, public speaking and what it really takes to keep going when life knocks you flat.
