Tommy G Talks - Episode 78: EVERYTHING Counts - A Passionate Rant
This is everything I have got. It's my truth. It's my passion. It's an insight into my mind and the way that I see things EVERY SINGLE DAY.
I hope this can connect with you too.
It's a short 4 minute recording that I made in the car on the way back from a funeral. A service that was full of love.
It got me thinking deep and on a passionate level of clarity.
I need to share this with you, because I CARE about how you show up.
I CARE about how much you smile.
I CARE about the legacy you leave in this life - Because it's my legacy to help you.
I would love to know your thoughts - and if this inspires you...SHARE it. Not for me. But for you.
Tag me in the posts so that I can share it too.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 77: Getting Results - Interview With Ben Coomber
In todays episode, I caught up with Ben Coomber.
Ben is a health and fitness industry leader, who has dedicated over a decade of his life towards helping others to enjoy a healthy life.
His podcast "Ben Coomber Radio" is a #1 rated podcast in the health category and he is also a world class speaker from stage...
I know this first hand as he has been a speaker at my Super Self Summit event in the past and he did such a good job, I am inviting him back again this coming June to speak again.
Have a listen to this interview (I really enjoyed it and think you'll get a lot out of it) and then tag Ben and I on social media.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 76: From 1 GCSE to a TV sitcom on BBC1 (Interview with Jimmy Donny Cosgrove.)
In this episode I interview the writer behind the brand new British comedy "Warren" on BBC1.
Jimmy's life has gone from having a few hundred loyal followers to literally millions of people having an opinion on his work almost overnight.
You can see the new British Comedy “WARREN” on BBC1 Monday’s at 9pm or on the BBC iPlayer.
Like any success story, there’s always evidence of challenge and struggle and in this episode you’ll hear:
- How Jimmy got into university despite being told no, due to only having 1 GCSE.
- What it’s like dealing with harsh and spiteful reviews.
- What Jimmy did to secure the show on the BBC.
- How his 10 minute YouTube video opened up doors that led to being commissioned.
- The gag that either made or destroyed the dream.
- Plus many more interesting topics of conversation! Let me know your thoughts guys and thanks for being here.
Share it on if you found it interesting, and as always, any questions or comments, please send to

Tommy G Talks: Episode 75 - Dealing With Pressure.
I believe that who we under pressure is who we really are...
We learn so much about ourselves when we are tested with inconvenient and surprise challenges.
Sometimes, the stakes can be so high, we drop in performance.
Sometimes our nerves and anxiety get the better of us.
PLUS, when we have pressure from different areas of our personal and professional life all at the same time, we can become quickly overwhelmed!
In this episode I share with you a recent personal story where I had to speak at an event, with the knowledge that my 7 months pregnant wife had been taken to hospital, and I was over 100 miles away!
I hope you can take something from it to apply into your thinking.
Tommy G
P.S. The next Super Self Summit is coming in June. My 2 day personal development event featuring some the industry's leading experts professionals and influencers. head to www.superselfsummit.com to get on the early reg list.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 72: The Coaching Industry
Life coaching is a growing industry.
Within the remit we have all kinds of 'sub-domains' including business, relationships, confidence, productivity, money and so much more.
The industry is a fascinating landscape and as someone who has been a practitioner for over 7 years now, and as someone who actively mentors other coaches, I have seen the good, the bad and the ugly...And have a pretty strong outlook on this.
I want more coaches to succeed. But there are a few factors that will determine that success and I will share some of the key opportunities and risks in this episode.
This episode gets very passionate at times. This is my world, I am here to stay, it's not a game for me and so i want to spread practical and empowering advice because the world needs more coaches.
Let me know your thoughts...

I came into work today and had a hundred things to do...but I just HAD to record this quick episode.
The reason being, that on the way to work today, I picked up a hitchhiker.
Was I scared? Yes.
Did I think about ignoring his desperate wave and driving by? Yes.
Am I glad I did? Yes.
Now, in this episode I give you the breakdown of what happened and will debate the FEAR vs. TRUST debate.
I would LOVE your input on this one...

Tommy G Talks: Episode 69 - Fitness Industry, Sales & Authenticity - With Alex Povey
Alex Povey is my guest today.
We talked about my new book making him cry, the state of sales in the fitness industry and the best ways to boost your 'personal brand' based business.
It was exciting to be able to talk a little about business in this episode. I intend to add a business angle to the podcast at least once every few episodes to begin with. The reason being, it is a big part of what I do and the majority of my time is spent coaching Entrepreneurs and 'personal brand' businesses, on how to build, grow and maximize their businesses whilst creating the best possible lifestyle.
Being a gym owner and a practitioner in the health and fitness industry since 2007, I have a particular soft spot for the success of fitness professionals.
Alex Povey helps Personal Trainers to grow their businesses by coaching them how to improve their sales.
He has an extensive sales background and shares some of his best tips and inspiration in this episode.
You can find Alex on Instagram here - www.instagram.com/alexcpovey
