Doug speaks to business coach Debby Canarini, who shares how to overcome procrastination and build self-esteem. With 25 years of coaching experience, Debby opens up about her journey from a shy, dyslexic girl to a successful entrepreneur. She gives proven techniques for facing fears, breaking through perfectionism, and achieving goals. Both Doug and Debby also commit to holding each other accountable for creating online courses, demonstrating that goals truly do come true when you take action!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Procrastination stems from your brain's protective instincts, especially when setting goals that feel far from your current identity. Understanding this psychological aspect is crucial for overcoming self-imposed limitations.
Mirror work is a powerful tool for building self-esteem and combating procrastination. This involves looking at yourself while speaking positive affirmations and addressing fears, it can help reprogram negative thought patterns.
Annual self-reflection is vital for tracking progress, including measuring aspects like health markers, financial growth, emotional healing, and continuous learning achievements.
Everyone has valuable experience to share, regardless of formal certifications. Your journey and knowledge can benefit others who want to reach where you are, even if it seems basic to you.
Celebration of wins, both big and small, is so important for building momentum and reinforcing positive behaviours in the brain, leading to more successes.
Labels and perfectionism can hinder progress, understanding that there's no such thing as perfect and removing good/bad labels helps maintain forward momentum.
The three fundamental childhood needs - nurturing, protection, and guidance - significantly impact adult behaviour patterns, including procrastination and self-esteem issues.
Personal investment in coaching and self-development can accelerate success, potentially turning three years of growth into six months of progress.

BEST MOMENTS

"I've had the privilege of working with some amazing business coaches and emotional coaches and energy healing coaches. I believe in coaching and I believe in personal development and I feel that as long as you're breathing, it's never ever too late." 

"If you label this is a good thing or this is a bad thing, maybe you were raised that way. I know I was, everything was either good or bad. And so the truth is, we really don't know if it's good or bad until we get on the other side of it." 

"When you invest in yourself, you're telling yourself, I believe in you. I see the value in you. You can do this. You will go far." 

"You have to share what you know, because there's somebody out there that thinks you're a rockstar and they want what you have." 

"The more you celebrate your wins, the more wins you have."

The Brain Science Behind Procrastination with Business Coach  Debby Canarini

Join Doug as he interviews Darcy Juarez, the behind-the-scenes force of major marketing campaigns and co-author of Dan Kennedy's latest book. With over 20 years of experience, Darcy breaks down complex marketing concepts into digestible, actionable steps. She reveals the secrets of effective direct marketing, sharing insights on automation, customer psychology, and building sustainable marketing systems.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Darcy emphasises that marketing success relies on understanding three fundamental elements: identifying the right market, crafting the right message, and choosing the right media channels where your audience pays attention.
Darcy advocates for implementing just one marketing system per month, allowing businesses to build 12 effective systems over a year without becoming overwhelmed.
Through her decades of experience, she has observed that people respond more strongly to pain avoidance than pleasure seeking. This is a crucial insight she uses to shape marketing messages.
Marketing success can be broken down into a four-step process: getting the message delivered, opened, read, and responded to - teaching that failure at any step means overall failure.
Focus on principles rather than tactics; principles remain constant while tactics evolve with technology.
Through her strategic consulting, Darcy helps businesses identify customers who have both the ability and willingness to buy, two distinct qualities she's found must exist together for success.
Removing routine tasks frees up mental energy, allowing business owners to focus on growth and strategy rather than repetitive work.
Based on her extensive marketing experience, Darcy reveals that providing clear instructions is crucial - she's found that removing assumptions can double business response rates.

BEST MOMENTS

"We as small business owners can't even spend a fraction of that to try and get in front of everybody. So we're so much better off figuring out exactly who we are for." 

"You get to decide your business is your business. You get to decide every business does not have to be the same way." 

"We overestimate how much we can get done in a short period of time and we underestimate how much we can get done in a longer period of time."

Marketing Expert Darcy Juarez: How to Build Systems That Actually Work

Doug is joined by Jordan Modiano, a business owner, race car driver, leadership trainer, and motivational speaker who proudly calls himself an "Autism Super Dad." Jordan shares his thoughts on everything from goal setting and leadership to how his daughter's autism has shaped his approach to life and business. Jordan's stories and lessons will inspire you to rethink your approach to goals, leadership, and personal growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Share your goals with people who matter and provide detailed explanations of how you'll achieve them. This creates accountability and support systems for when times get tough
Success requires levelling up your circle, seek out businesses and people who are where you want to be to accelerate your growth
Treat goals like milestones, breaking them down into smaller chunks while celebrating progress along the way
True leadership is about making other people's lives better, regardless of your position or title
Put distance between events and your responses; bad minutes don't have to become bad days
People are always watching. Small actions and interactions can have profound impacts you may never know about
Goals require different accountability approaches for different situations, what works for yourself may not work for others
Confidence in goal setting is crucial - "Trying" to achieve something already provides an excuse for failure

BEST MOMENTS

"Having a daughter on the autism spectrum, she shows me what she's capable of. And I sit back and go, wow, if she can do that, what are we capable of?”. 

"Experience isn't wisdom, experience is experience, experience matched with reflection. That becomes wisdom. That's where your lessons come from." 

"You know, they say, show me your friends. I'll show you your future. If you hang around with five millionaires, you'll be the sixth. If you hang around with five alcoholics, you'll be the sixth." 

"You think about the best teams in the world, what makes the best team? Trust. And what's the foundation for trust? Vulnerability." 

ABOUT THE GUEST

www.JordanModiano.com - Free 15-minute one-on-one consultation!

Jordan Modiano, business owner, race car driver, leadership trainer, motivational speaker and Autism Super Dad, has made a habit of setting goals and accomplishing them. In 2008 at the height of the recession he quit his job and started a business and grew it to a huge success. Goal Accomplished. In 2025 he left that and started a business focused on helping others. Jordan had a goal of reaching a specific milestone within 3 years which would allow him to expand to another territory. Goal Accomplished. In 2021, combining passion and purpose Jordan set out with a goal to raise money and awareness for Autism. Three years later that one achievement has turned into an annual event, the launch of a not-for profit organisation and so many lives positively impacted.

No Bad Days, Just Bad Minutes: Goal Setting with an Autism Super Dad Jordan Modiano

Doug is joined by Dan Bradbury, an entrepreneur, business investor and mentor. Dan shares his journey through early business failures, a life threatening accident that changed his perspective on financial security, and his evolution into buying, scaling, and selling companies. His approach to goal setting, learning, and business growth, combined with his passion for mastermind groups and relationship building, provides great insight into achieving success whilst remaining authentic

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Dan's early business failure, resulting in £109,000 of personal debt, became a foundational learning experience that shaped his approach to entrepreneurship and his ability to help others avoid similar mistakes.
His life changing cycling accident and resulting brain injury transformed his perspective on business, leading him to shift from simply running companies to strategically buying, selling, and merging them for greater security.
Rather than focusing on massive goals, Dan structures his approach around daily achievements in three core areas: health/wellbeing, business, and relationships, using apps to track his progress.
As a big reader with a personal library of thousands of books, Dan maintains an unlimited book budget for his family, believing strongly that most solutions already exist in written form.
Dan actively seeks out people with opposing viewpoints, following Charlie Munger's philosophy of understanding the opposite perspective better than its proponents before forming opinions.
In his mastermind groups, Dan focuses first on identifying the six key areas of business and diagnosing where each member's weakest links are, believing the biggest gains come from addressing these weaknesses.
Having tested multiple paths to success, Dan advocates for gathering diverse solutions rather than relying on a single approach, encouraging others to explore multiple routes to their goals.
Through his years of business experience, Dan has discovered that the true value isn't in achieving goals but in the relationships built along the journey, creating lasting impact and fulfilment.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you've already had the answers, you would have done it already. I kind of go innovations come from looking outside of yourself."

"I refuse to let myself have an opinion on something unless I know more about my opponent's point of view than they do." 

"I believe that prescription without proper diagnosis is malpractice." 

"If you meet somebody that refuses to admit that is convinced that they're right constantly and isn't willing to hold up their hands and say when they're wrong, that should be a big red flag."

Why Your Goals Might Be Wrong: Dan Bradbury's Three Part Success Formula

Doug interviews Ang Allan-Burns a fellow podcaster, Amazon #1 bestselling author of "Do I Really Hate Men?" and expert life coach. Ang shares her thoughts on goal setting, relationship dynamics, and personal growth after divorce. From discussing the importance of shared values in relationships to revealing how redundancy became a blessing in disguise, Ang offers valuable thoughts for anyone else navigating life transitions. Ang's practical approach to goal setting, combined with her personal experiences and professional expertise, makes this a must listen for those seeking to create positive change in their lives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Goal setting should include both personal and professional aspects of life, for example many entrepreneurs succeed in business but neglect personal goals, leading to an imbalance.
Core values identification is crucial for relationship success as misaligned values between partners often contribute to relationship breakdown.
Visual reminders of goals are really powerful, placing goals in multiple locations and using phone screensavers can help maintain focus and motivation.
Recovery from divorce requires self-work first. Seeking others to "fix" you without healing yourself first often leads to continued pain.
Small, manageable changes are more effective than overwhelming transformations so start with simple daily improvements rather than major life overhauls.
Regular goal review and adjustment is essential,  reviewing goals quarterly allows for adaptation and ensures they remain relevant to your life.
Teaching goal setting to children creates valuable life skills. Involving kids in goal setting helps them develop positive life habits early.
Negative thought management is crucial for moving forward, learning to control and replace negative thoughts with positive ones enables progress.

BEST MOMENTS

"I always say to people that the goals that you have are not as important as the person that you become in pursuit of those goals."

"The book came about because I started to write about my divorce and the things that had happened and I wasn't writing for it to be published."

"We need to learn how to manage our negative thoughts, when you actually sit down and think about how many negative thoughts you have during a day it's quite a lot, even if you're just having a normal day."

"I say to people if you're not happy, move, we're not a tree, we're something different."

"The biggest journey of our life is our life, but we don't necessarily have a plan for it."

Doug interviews Ang Allan-Burns a fellow podcaster, Amazon #1 bestselling author of "Do I Really Hate Men?" and expert life coach. Ang shares her thoughts on goal setting, relationship dynamics, and personal growth after divorce.

Ang's practical approach to goal setting, combined with her personal experiences and professional expertise, makes this a must listen for those seeking to create positive change in their lives.

<li>Visual reminders of goals are really powerful, placing goals in multiple locations and using phone screensavers can help maintain focus and motivation.</li>
<li>Recovery from divorce requires self-work first. Seeking others to "fix" you without healing yourself first often leads to continued pain.</li>

Is Goal Setting The Missing Link in Relationship Success? with Ang Allan-Burns

Doug talks with David Roberts, a seasoned business leader with 30 years of experience who transforms struggling businesses and helps entrepreneurs reconnect with their purpose. David shares the power of the 12-week year, the psychology of business leadership, and how to overcome feeling stuck. His approach which combines practical business strategy with mindset work, is a framework for business success. Whether you're running a seven-figure business or planning your exit strategy, David's advice about patterns, beliefs, and skills will challenge your thinking about business growth.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The 12-week year system accelerates progress by breaking annual goals into 13-week cycles, with the 13th week dedicated to review and planning, enabling better execution and more frequent achievement celebrations.
Business owners often feel stuck due to cashflow dependency and emotional attachment; the solution lies in building trusted teams and creating alternative revenue streams.
Understanding different personality types is crucial when implementing change. Effective goal setting must accommodate various working styles within a team.
Leaders should focus on execution rather than strategy, a successful change requires five elements: vision, resources, plan, skills, and incentives.
External factors like economic conditions shouldn't be the primary focus. Instead, try and concentrate on solving problems for customers and staying relevant to your target market.
The "Valley of Despair" or "Messy Middle" is an inevitable part of goal achievement; conducting a pre-mortem can help anticipate and prepare for challenges.
Balance your focus between practical business metrics and personal leadership development for sustainable success.

BEST MOMENTS

"A belief is something that you hold to be true, even though it may not be based on fact…so challenge those beliefs."

"What people think is well once you've started down the road of looking at selling a company you've kind of then got a sell it and that's not actually the case. What you've got to do is you've got to get yourself to a place where you can sell it if that's something that you want to do."

"I don't really see as a leader, how you can lead other people without, without first being a good self leader."

"Businesses exist to solve problems so if you are solving a problem and you're staying relevant to a group of people, a group of customers, and enough of them have the problem that you're trying to solve... then brilliant."

Goals, Growth & Getting Unstuck a Guide to Business Growth with David Roberts

Doug interviews Gretchen Lennon, founder of Lennon Legal, a boutique law firm specialising in startups and early-stage companies in everything from funding rounds and employee share options, to commercial contracts and data protection and plenty in between. What starts as a discussion about legal entrepreneurship transforms into a fascinating exploration of work-life balance, goal setting, and the courage to take calculated risks. From trading corporate law life in London for skiing in Verbier to building a successful remote legal consultancy, Gretchen's experiences give inspiration to anyone considering a major career change or struggling with entrepreneurial challenges. The conversation also takes an unexpected therapeutic turn as Doug helps Gretchen confront her work-life balance struggles.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

·       After leaving her corporate law career in London, Gretchen discovered that running her own business led to working longer hours, not achieving the freedom she initially sought

·       A chance encounter with a client while working as a chalet manager in Verbier opened her eyes to the possibility of becoming a consultant lawyer

·       Starting with one short-term contract, Gretchen gradually built Lennon Legal into a team of 10 lawyers, proving you don't need a grand plan to build a successful business

·       Despite living in a famous ski resort, Gretchen found herself prioritising work over her personal life, highlighting how entrepreneurs can lose sight of why they chose independence

·       Her perspective on success evolved from wanting to build a large, financially successful law firm to creating a business that fits her desired lifestyle

·       Working with a business coach helped Gretchen recognise the importance of scheduling personal time first, as it won't happen naturally

·       Rather than staying paralysed by fear, Gretchen used Tim Ferriss's approach of thoroughly analysing worst case scenarios to take the leap into entrepreneurship

·       Through growing her business, Gretchen learned that delegation and building a team of specialists was more effective than trying to handle everything herself

BEST MOMENTS

"I really thought I was some sort of Ally McBeal meets suits and then I guess I kind of got to my late twenties and just sort of felt a little bit burnt out." 

"You can't have a work life balance that doesn't exist. You know, because you're either in work or you're in life, so you can't balance between the two and have it all" 

"As an entrepreneur, even when, in fact, I would almost go so far as to say, especially when things are a little bit quiet. That's when you have an even greater sense of guilt." 

"I quickly realised that this sort of concept of becoming completely destitute and, you know, running out of money and not having any clients and whatever actually really just sort of played out as, okay, I'll give it a go."

The Truth About Work Life Balance with Gretchen Lennon of Lennon Legal

Doug interviews Summer Kang, a self-improvement podcaster who hosts the globally successful podcast "Inner Wealth." Despite her age, Summer shares profound insights gained from studying self development since age 11. From the power of gratitude to understanding life's mystical flow, she delivers five transformative lessons that challenge conventional thinking about success and personal growth. Summer offers a fresh perspective and deep understanding of universal principles, join her and Doug in this episode to learn more about gratitude, discipline and what it takes to build a successful mindset.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Gratitude is the magnetic force that attracts more blessings. Being genuinely thankful for what you have creates a high vibration energy that accelerates goal achievement.
True discipline is self-love in action, choosing long term fulfilment over temporary pleasure builds character and creates freedom.
Life's challenges are opportunities for growth. Embracing difficulties as necessary steps in personal evolution transforms obstacles into stepping stones
External circumstances mirror internal realities, recurring problems in life reflect internal issues that need addressing.
The manifestation process requires both action and surrender, combine focused effort with trust in life's natural flow.
Self-talk shapes reality, your subconscious mind works to prove your beliefs true, whether positive or negative.
Success comes through loving the journey - focus on the process of becoming rather than fixating on end goals.
Service to humanity creates purpose so combining personal gifts with helping others generates meaningful fulfilment.

BEST MOMENTS

"If we're not grateful for what we have, how can we expect to be given more in life? Whether you believe, you know, God to be the power or the universe, but even simply just the word life, we have to be grateful for what we have."

"Self discipline is self love. It's understanding that right now I'm going to put temporary pleasure aside for the bigger goal or bigger gain of my life."

"Life is life is a gift. It's such a privilege to be here and to look at life and to see a problem or to approach it negatively is only ever a disservice to us because it's an honour really to have this opportunity."

"When something keeps crumbling externally, it's because somewhere in us, we have that problem going on."

"Life has this ebb and flow it's like a yin and yang of give and take, effortless action, where when we give something in our work when we put energy into something intention into it, we do our part, but then we allow nature to take its course.”

ABOUT THE GUEST

Summer is the 19 year old host of Inner wealth. A global podcast, in the top 2.5%, that has generated over 40,000 downloads in the first few months of launch. With listeners tuning in from 125 countries. Summer uses her gift to break down complex spiritual and self- development topics into digestible truths for a greater existence.

Creating Inner Wealth with Podcaster Summer Kang

Doug is joined by Liam Barry, a client journey and automation specialist. Liam has spent 15 years mastering the art of automotive simulation as a process specialist and he talks to Doug about how he has transformed complex tasks into streamlined operations that boosted speed, efficiency, and consistency. He also shares how he has taken that same innovative approach, and applied it to the business world, helping companies drive more leads, increase sales conversions, and ultimately, enhance their bottom line. Their conversation gives practical insights for any business owner looking to modernise their operations while maintaining authentic customer connections.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Don't rush into buying multiple software subscriptions. First, you need to assess what functionality your existing systems offer, to avoid unnecessary costs and complexity.
AI and automation shift the workforce rather than eliminate it. New technology creates new types of jobs while streamlining existing processes.
Break down large automation goals into manageable chunks. Ensure you focus on the process that's taking most of your time first and then expand from there.
Automation can save significant time in client onboarding so what takes hours manually can be reduced to zero whilst still maintaining consistency.
The key to effective AI implementation is providing detailed, conversational input as generic questions yield generic answers.
Different generations have varying preferences for communication, consider offering both automated and personal touch options.
Personal videos can be integrated into automated sequences to maintain human connection while saving time.
Understanding your client journey before implementing tech solutions ensures you choose the right tools and automation strategies.

"We map out exactly what you want to achieve with your business,  how you want clients and leads to experience your business and then when we understand that and we understand the end goal, we can sort out the technology to make that happen in the most automated and efficient way." 

"Learn what you need so you understand, not say you're an expert."

"If you do something where it's much more conversational, more like how two humans, I know this sounds ridiculous, but how you would communicate with two humans is like, this is what I'm trying to do. This is the background. This is what I want to get out of it." 

"We're not trying to lose the personal touch by using automation. We don't want it to sound like a robot." 

"If we sit here and go, right, we're going to have this, 10 different client journeys within my business of all these different things I want to do. I want them all singing and dancing and all automating."

Doug is joined by Liam Barry, a client journey and automation specialist. Liam has spent 15 years mastering the art of automotive simulation as a process specialist and he talks to Doug about how he has transformed complex tasks into streamlined operations that boosted speed, efficiency, and consistency. He also shares how he has taken that same innovative approach, and applied it to the business world, helping companies drive more leads, increase sales conversions, and ultimately, enhance their bottom line. Their conversation gives practical insights for any business owner looking to modernise their operations while maintaining authentic customer connections.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
<ul>
<li>Don't rush into buying multiple software subscriptions. First, you need to assess what functionality your existing systems offer, to avoid unnecessary costs and complexity.</li>
<li>AI and automation shift the workforce rather than eliminate it. New technology creates new types of jobs while streamlining existing processes.</li>
<li>Break down large automation goals into manageable chunks. Ensure you focus on the process that's taking most of your time first and then expand from there.</li>
<li>Automation can save significant time in client onboarding so what takes hours manually can be reduced to zero whilst still maintaining consistency.</li>
<li>The key to effective AI implementation is providing detailed, conversational input as generic questions yield generic answers.</li>
<li>Different generations have varying preferences for communication, consider offering both automated and personal touch options.</li>
<li>Personal videos can be integrated into automated sequences to maintain human connection while saving time.</li>
<li>Understanding your client journey before implementing tech solutions ensures you choose the right tools and automation strategies.</li>
</ul>

How to Scale Your Business Without Losing the Human Touch with Liam Barry

Doug is joined by Lewis Crompton, a 35-year-old trading expert striving to help a million families achieve financial freedom. Lewis is on a mission to help 1 million families live with less stress and more fun through financial education and empowerment. He became financially free by trading financial markets, starting over 10 years ago, taught by Robert Kiyosaki’s Rich Dad Poor Dad, and then headhunted to teach for them. Lewis is a leading voice in the industry, championing safe, systematic and profitable trading techniques.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Lewis's accidental entry into trading led to a life-changing career!
He became financially free through trading in just seven months, demonstrating the power of focused goal setting and skill acquisition.
Financial stress is a major factor in family breakdowns, financial education is something that can help with this and what Lewis tries to empower others to do.
Start Trading Now focuses on teaching people how to trade safely, using only 1% of their account per trade while still aiming for 5% monthly growth.
Setting clear goals and focusing on the process rather than the end result can lead to more enjoyable and successful goal achievement.
Diversification is key: Lewis expanded from trading into property investment to build a well rounded financial portfolio.
Creating clarity in all aspects of life, from personal relationships to business, leads to reduced stress and better outcomes too.
Visualisation techniques, such as vision boards and daily affirmations, can help reinforce goals and shape behaviour patterns, making long term success more likely.
Balancing work and personal life is crucial, even when you love your job, you have to learn to maintain overall well being to avoid burnout.

BEST MOMENTS

"I always say, very honestly, it was easier for me to leave my job in seven months to generate that income, but then I decided to continue obviously growing from there and then invest in property." 

"We take the pressure off the goal and we put the pressure onto the process. Because sometimes what happens is we see how far away that goal is, and with it being so far away, we focus ourselves on the gap between those two things." 

"Trust in God, but tie up your camel, it's such a true one. So I relate that to over the past 10 plus years or so in business, in life, I've trusted people. I've not tied up my camel." 

"Hard decisions now make an easier tomorrow. Easy decisions now make a harder tomorrow. So if you want an easier, better, happier life, it's going to take some hard choices right now." 

"I printed off an A4 piece of paper with as big text as possible saying I am now a trader. Obviously, I wasn't at that point. I was in the process of becoming one and I put it somewhere that I knew I was going to see every single day."
