Our second guest is Mike Hallett, the CEO of Cleverdome, a leader in growth acceleration, establishing global presence to rapid expansion and eventual acquisition of software based businesses. In addition, he has significant global board and advisory experience. Mike’s senior management experience includes Honeywell, Oracle, Siebel, Kintana, and CollabNet, and most recently he co-founded a company within the Tata Communications Innovation investment business. We covered in this episode a hot topic related to recent SEC focus on Cyber incidents and how Aaron and his work with Mike at Cleverdome has put in place an innovative way to protect and scale the United planners business. Very insightful for regulated businesses who want to manage risk at scale as this phenomenon is not going away any time soon.

Change is hard. Discipline towards health and fitness doesn’t come naturally to anyone. After years of training hundreds of trainees, we know that substantial long-lasting changes don't come from quick tips, but from building habits in phases. This is why we help you make positive changes that stay with you for life. Ketan is the Founder and CEO of Alpha Coach. He's a Chartered Accountant and has worked in prestigious firms such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, Ernst & Young, and last served as Vice President at Berggruen Holdings in India, involved in private equity deals for the past 14 years. Prior to Alpha Coach, Ketan also co-founded AKRO Fitness, a boutique personal training studio in Mumbai, one of the most notable brands in the fitness industry in the country. He is a fitness enthusiast, and after struggling with his own fitness for over a decade due to lack of knowledge and proper guidance, has dedicated his time and efforts to create businesses designed to positively impact people’s health and fitness, and help them create long-term sustainable lifestyle solutions. He is always challenging the status quo, in breaking barriers, and blasting through ceilings we set for our own personal growth. “Everyone has the right and obligation to be fit, strong and healthy” Ketan says, – so, at AKRO and now at Alpha Coach, he has created a platform to allow everyone to achieve their health goals.He also walks the talk in terms of taking action and execution, and takes his own fitness very seriously. He truly believes that “No matter how hard the struggle is – if one wants something desperately, they need to go out and get it!”

Additionally, Mike has been invited to speak at conventions, schools, and podcasts, including Mensa, IEEE Berlin, DataRobot’s More Intelligent Tomorrow Series, and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Mike has also presented and been a technical instructor at the International NAO Robotics Congress.

Mike learned the value of perseverance at an early age navigating through a world not equipped for profoundly gifted students. Realising there is always more than one way to reach a goal allows Mike to view the world with a nothing is impossible attitude. 

Mike learned his robotic and programming knowledge through trial and error, books and videos, and online documentation. His desire to help others motivated Mike to become an entrepreneur with a goal of “building technology that enables people to live better lives.” He has started two technology companies, the first at seven years old, Next Era Innovations. His most recent start-up, Reflect Social, provides an easy and fun codeless integration platform for IoT devices that anyone can use.

When not attending school, scaling a company, or working for the military, Mike can be found SIM racing with friends, playing with Legos and Hotwheels, and on the weekends, you will likely find him in the paddock of an IMSA Sportscar race.

This was a wonderful episode and hope this inspires many more of my audience with your son's and daughter's to go the extra mile and see what they can achieve while on this planet. It's a topic I will be discussing with my sons, Ben & James this weekend for sure.

Daniel was an early entrepreneur. He started a t-shirt business at the age of eight and then partnered with a car detailing franchise to provide cleaning services throughout his high school years. In the year 2000, he built an online trading business that was acquired within six months by what was Argentina's largest financial player at the time. Daniel’s next business launched just before the untimely crash of the financial markets in 2008. His business was shut down and Daniel took on $1 million in debt. Despite the recent setback, Daniel had an abundance of experience and successes under his belt and had recently been recognised in Expansion Magazine's “30 under 30”. As a serial entrepreneur, Daniel quickly realised that CEOs are often the bottleneck of the company. In the same way that you can’t solve a problem without first elevating your mindset, a business can’t evolve beyond what the CEO can handle. 

Daniel partnered with Verne Harnish in 2012 to bring executive training to the masses. What was once reserved for a small niche of wealthy companies is now available to all CEOs and their executive teams. In less than a decade, Growth Institute has been recognised among the top 5,000 fastest-growing companies in the USA, with over 40,000 members across 64 countries. Great episode with Daniel, and look forward to the trip to South America in 2022 along with Alejandro Canonero. Enjoy!

Simon's first sales business was started in the property industry in 2009 which grew to two offices, included four business acquisitions and a successful exit in 2017. Simon realised that what he has really enjoyed over 20 years in business and corporate leadership across various industries is creating a rewarding environment for people, motivating teams and helping everyone on in their careers. He realised there must be a way to improve the sales industry’s approach to mental health and wellbeing and this is now his burning passion. Following a period in his life where he experienced burn-out, he also gained a healthy appreciation for mental health, which in turn, through resilience, led to the birth of Wellity.

Wellity now helps organisations from all across the world, unite, learn and normalise the conversation around their Mental Health and wellbeing. Wellity is a network of wellbeing experts and partners that provides a community for people to craft the best versions of themselves. Wellity ethos - Success comes in the form of changing habits, making small steps and having at least one eye on health and wellbeing. Your life does not get better by chance, it gets better by actions. Simon is also delighted to be Chair of the ISM Mental Health and Wellbeing Committee, collaborating with the world’s leading experts to bring the best wellbeing advice to organisations around the world.

Given the continuing challenges we all face in 2020 I hope you enjoy this episode and learn from Simon and it helps you think about your own lives. All the best

A frustrated stand-up comedian and heavy (metal) lead singer, Marcus channels his creative juices into entertaining CEOs, business owners and salespeople with his special brand of curmudgeonly, brutally direct, practical ways for doing less but better on purpose. His company motto is "pecunia opus dimidium duplum" which means double the money for half the work.

You can follow him on Twitter @The_Inquisitor and on Facebook via his company page https://www.facebook.com/sandler.se.uk/

He teaches his clients ways to cut out the useless fat from their selling, management, recruitment and channels. His clients regularly see revenue growth in excess of 300% and profit growth in excess of 500% in under 1 year. He has clients who've been with him for 15 years. He's a licensed franchisee with Sandler, the global leader in performance improvement. His greatest pleasure in business is seeing his clients grow, win deals they never thought possible and free up choices that used to be out of their reach. He is married with 3 bright, brilliant daughters who have managed to dodge a bullet through his wife's superior gene pool. When he eventually retires he intends to be the oldest stand-up comedian on the circuit and fill the Apollo in Hammersmith where he will perform his yoga-based routine in his red latex catsuit
