Exploring the ideas that shape our lives.
I've realised something over the last few years. The moments that have changed my life haven't usually come from someone giving me an answer. They've come from hearing one idea, one question or seeing one thing from a different perspective.
That's what this podcast is.
Every episode is a chance to think out loud about an idea I've been wrestling with. Sometimes we'll explore communication, leadership or performance. Other times we'll talk about identity, relationships, curiosity or the everyday moments that quietly shape our lives.
I don't promise certainty. I do hope you'll leave with a new perspective.
Thanks for thinking with me.

EP152: The Stories We Tell Ourselves - How our mind quickly writes the script
It's been a while friend.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately and I wanted someone to share my thinking with. Someone that can think along with me.
Because the power of thinking is huge. It's life changing and it comes from where you least expect it.
So here we are then. Technically episode 152, but a new chapter.
We don't need to have all the answers, but we do need to explore the ideas that shape our lives, so that in time, we can make sense of our paths.
Thanks for thinking along with me.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 151: Avoid Burnout At All Costs
What is the cost of Leadership? Is it BURNOUT?
It doesn't have to be...
Yet so many of us are burning the candle at both ends, trying to "hustle hard" and please everyone elses expectations at the demise of our own self respect.
Business life doesnt have to equal burnout. It's not working right if you're in a burnout cycle.
Time to change it.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 150: Modern Day Leadership - Why the old way just doesn't cut it anymore
Welcome back to Tommy G Talks.
Leadership isn't about job titles, suits and ties or bossing people around.
It's about bringing out the best in yourself in order to do the same for other people.
Overcoming challenges on an internal and shared level through confidence, communication, clarity and empathy.
The old way just doesn't cut it anymore.
Modern day leadership is the way forwards.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 149: TAKE Your Opportunities & NEVER Give Up - Advice To Teenagers (Recorded Live)
This episode is a recording of a live talk I delivered in front of 200x 15-17 year olds.
I was asked to go in and deliver this talk to 5 different age groups at a local secondary school, as part of their careers day.
It's always an honour to deliver talks like this, and I hope that you can take at least 1 thing away from this very honest and open presentation around taking opportunities, saying YES, challenging yourself and then being resilient enough to keep the journey alive.
Don't give up on your dreams.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 147: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP3] w Perry Cocking:
Football Coach: Don't Ruin The Parent/Child Relationship! (Ways to support your sporty child)
I've known Perry for just over 15 years. We played football together, we've worked on a few projects together and I have seen his Coaching business and journey evolve to the stage of being one of the most influencial, leading voices in the Youth Football coaching space!
In this episode, we dive deeper into some of the challenges, and hidden problems that can arise by "trying to do the right thing" by supporting your sporty children...But creating the opposite. A negative emotional experience and potentially damaging your relationships.
If you've got a sporty child or you're a youth coach yourself, this is the conversation for you.
As always, let me know your thoughts.
For more info on Perry's Book "Did you win, did you score?" go to Amazon and give it a search.
Thanks for listening.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 146: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP2] w Kate Griffin - Wessex Spirits & The Gin Palace.
Episode 2 of Tea with Tommy G brings you a very open and honest conversation with Kate Griffin, the Founder of Wessex Spirits and The Gin Palace in Andover.
I have been getting to know Kate and her fantastic business well over the last few months. We at Tide 55 have been working with her and her team to help grow online bottle sales and local footfall into the amazing venue that is The Gin Palace.
I wanted to share her story with you. But not just the story she tells everyone that comes in for a drink. I wanted to dig a little deeper into the WHY and the HOW she came to be where she is now.
So in this episode, you will hear how Kate went from being a Teacher, to throwing out her teaching books, having no "job", with 2 young children to look after, and an idea to start making her own gin.
Local business is really important and I hope that this helps bring the awareness up for the people and the businesses that are out there flying the flag for Andover, our local community. (as well as the wider economy)
You can see more from Wessex Spirits and book a gin tasting session or drop in for a drink at the Gin Palace here:

Make sure you tag @ WessexSpirits in your answer to Kate's amazing question.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 145: [TEA WITH TOMMY G SERIES EP1] w Harri Pereira - Mindset X
It's time to step it up a bit.
I've had a podcast for a few years now, but I feel we need to take it up a notch.
I have launched on a project that I have wanted to do for a few years now.
Introducing: Tea with Tommy G - My new and improved way of bringing you guest interviews that consist of real talk, real challenges and real confidence.
We talk about life, death and all the ups and downs along this amazing journey.
In this very first episode, I connect with a man that shares a lot of parrallels and similarities to me.
Not just in terms of interests and career path, but also in terms of things that have happened in our lives that we would much rather didn't.
I am all about transforming "challenge into confidence" and with Harri, he has (and continues) to do just that. I wanted to do an episode on "seasonal grief" the pain that we feel when we are reminded, or we miss someone that has passed away.
I knew that Harri would be able to help me get to the levels of conversation that this topic deserves.
I really do hope you enjoy this chat. In honour of you and to those that are no longer with us.
Remember to tag us both when you answer his question to you at the end!
