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.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 134: Are we addicted to our phones? (5 Things Learned From NO PHONES ALLOWED Secret Cinema!)
Last night I went to "Secret Cinema" and as part of the experience, they take your phone away from you, lock it in a bag and then give the locked bag back to you...But you can't open it, touch or use your phone.
At first, I had a mild panic, but eventually, I started to realise some really cool things.
5 of which I share in this episode.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 133: Interview With Brad Burton - The UK's Number 1 Motivational Business Speaker
Brad Burton.
If you know of him, you'll know what I mean when I say he "packs a punch."
If you don't know who he is, buckle up and get ready...
I wanted this episode to happen for quite some time. In fact, I promised myself that I would only kickstart my podcast again once I had a guest that was worthy of the "come back" for.
Brad is that guy.
He's been at the top of the motivational speaking scene in the UK for years now.
Not everyone likes to admit that though, because he has done it HIS WAY.
He doesn't play to the same tune as a lot of the other guys and girls on the scene. Myself included.
He doesn't rely on "who you know" or circles of "experts" that you'll regularly see on your social media feed. Some of which I have crossed paths with in the past.
Brad is honest and raw and holds no apologies for his unique style.
I hope you enjoy this conversation between 2 guys that probably weren't too keen on each other at first, but have a mutual respect, understanding and likeness to each other and are both Warriors in the same war.
If you enjoy this episode, please let me and Brad know via my social media pages below
Thanks,

Tommy G Talks - Episode 132: Is it the taking part that counts? Really?
It's been a while...But let's get stuck in.
We have all heard the saying "it's the taking part that counts."
But what does that actually mean? and is it really a cop out or a sympathy vote for someone that didn't win?
Let's dive into it a bit today.
Sport has done wonders for me in my life. i have learned so much from "the taking part" when I have won and when I have lost.
Because the thing is, without the taking part, neither are possible and all growth is off.
I hope you enjoy this episode. It references a speech I gave recently at a local secondary school. I was asked to give an "inspirational speech" for their end of year sports awards, and this is the theme I went with.
Let me know your take on it and come say hi on Instagram @Tommygentleman

Tommy G Talks - Episode 127: The impact of social media on mental health and on business (Plus the WORST advice I have ever heard)
Welcome back to Tommy G Talks.
Second episode in 2 weeks.
So far so good for the new committed approach to the podcast.
This one followed the same format again.
I asked for questions on Instagram and Kendall chose which ones to ask me.
The result, was an episode that covered the impact of social media on our mental health, how social media is essential for business in 2021 and some hard hitting tips on productivity.
Plus, I shared a little more about what's been happening behind the scenes AS WELL AS the WORST advice I have ever heard.
Would love to know what you think of the episode and the topics covered.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 126: Starting a Business During a Global Pandemic! (Lessons Learned)
Ladies and Gents...
I AM BACK!
My podcasting efforts have been pretty poor so far this year, but one of the reasons for my absence is that I recently started a new company and it's been taking a lot of my focus and energy. (not to mention my 4 year old Boy and 2 year old Girl at home!)
I have also been looking within to really understand WHY I podcast.
This has always ran parallel to my life.
I've been a Personal Trainer, a Fitness Presenter, an Event Host, a Life Coach, a Motivational Speaker and now a Digital Marketing Agency CEO.
But you see, that's the thing.
Above all I am an Entrepreneur, that is doing his best to make an impact and enjoy the process.
I've made mistakes (and will continue to make more) but I am not afraid of that notion anymore.
I now know that mistakes hold the valuable lessons that can unlock the future.
So in this new episode, we have a brand new format and a new perspective..but the same objective...
To help you transform challenge into confidence, one day at a time.
Let us know what you think of the episode via Instagram @TommyGentleman
Thanks for listening.
