Best Selling Nutritionist: 6 Things You Must Do To Make Health Feel Easier - Sarah Ann Macklin
This week Alberto sat down with Sarah Ann Macklin, nutritionist, best seller author of Health Shouldn’t Be This Hard, founder of the not for profit organisation Be Well Collective, host of Live Well Be Well, and one of the leading voices connecting nutrition, mental health, self compassion, and the mind body relationship.Sarah shares how she started modelling at 16, built a successful international career, and appeared to have everything society tells us should make us happy: success, beauty, social status, financial reward, and external validation. But behind the polished image, her body was sending warning signs she kept ignoring. Anxiety, exhaustion, illness, stomach problems, burnout, and eventually a hospitalisation became the turning point that forced her to rebuild her relationship with health from the inside out.In this conversation, Sarah explains why health has become so unnecessarily complicated, why the wellness industry often sells fear instead of real wellbeing, why diets rarely work long term, why the “perfect” body does not always mean a healthy body, and why self compassion may be one of the most important foundations for long term physical and mental health.You Will LearnWhy health should not feel as hard, confusing, or exhausting as it often does.How Sarah’s modelling career led to burnout, hospitalisation, and a complete career change.Why your mindset can change the way your body responds to food, hunger, stress, and health choices.Why diets often work short term but fail long term, and what to focus on instead.How self compassion, self worth, and emotional awareness shape your physical health.Why supplements, fasting, protein shakes, electrolytes, sugar, alcohol, and ultra processed foods need more nuance than social media usually allows.How to build a healthier relationship with your body, your food, your thoughts, and yourself.Buy Sarah's best seller, Healthy Shouldn't Be This Hard:https://amzn.to/3ROhnr9Follow Sarah:https://www.instagram.com/sarahannmacklinhttps://youtube.com/@UCASEE6WVp31E3FNeM-Mk_bwhttps://www.facebook.com/SarahAnnOfficial/https://www.tiktok.com/@livewellbewellpodcasthttps://x.com/SarahAnnMacklin#ThrivingMinds #AlbertoZandi #SarahAnnMacklin #NutritionalScientist #WellnessIndustry #HealthAdvice #MentalHealth #BodyImage #NutritionScience #HealthyLiving #WellnessCulture #PersonalGrowth Hosted on Acast.

1# Hostage Negotiator: Listening Mistakes Costing You Trust, Deals and Influence | R. Mullender
This week Alberto sat down with Richard Mullender, the renowned former hostage negotiator and communication expert, to unpack what communication really is, why most people do it badly, and how better listening can transform negotiation, trust, persuasion, leadership, and relationships.Richard spent decades in policing, with the final part of his career leading Scotland Yard's hostage and crisis negotiation, where the stakes were often life and death. In this conversation, he explains why negotiation is not really about talking more or sounding clever, but about understanding what the other person values, what they are feeling, what they are motivated by, and why they believe they are right.He challenges some of the most common myths people still believe, including the idea that body language can reliably reveal truth, that asking more questions automatically makes you a better listener, and that great negotiation starts when the formal negotiation begins. According to Richard, trust starts much earlier, and the people who influence best are often the people who understand best.You will learnWhy most people think they are listening, but are actually just waiting to talkWhy body language can mislead you, and what to focus on insteadHow trust is built before a negotiation even beginsThe six things Richard says you should listen for in every important conversationWhy everyone believes they are right, and how understanding that changes everythingHow to negotiate better at work, at home, and in high pressure situationsFollow Richard & The Listening Institute:https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-mullender-1b427910/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-listening-institute/ https://www.facebook.com/listeninginstitute/ https://listeninginstitute.com/richard-mullender/ Get Richard's books: Amazon #podcast #negotiation #listening #communication #mindset #selfimprovement #thrivingmindspodcast Hosted on Acast.

Myprotein Founder: No Degree, No Investors, Just Relentless Execution - Oliver Cookson
This week Alberto sat down with Oliver Cookson, the renowned founder of Myprotein, the world’s #1 supplement brand, serial entrepreneur, author, and one of the UK’s most compelling self-made business builders, to unpack how he went from humble beginnings in Manchester to building one of the most recognised names in sports nutrition.Oliver’s story breaks almost every rule people think success requires. He did not go to university, did not raise outside funding, and did not build Myprotein with a polished business plan or a big support network. He started with a £500 overdraft, built the first products himself, packed orders around a full-time job, and slowly turned a kitchen operation into a global business.In this conversation, Oliver explains how curiosity first led him to question what was really inside protein powder, why he believed he could build and sell a better version online, and how obsessive execution, discipline, and self-belief became the foundation of everything that followed.He also shares the reality of scaling without investors, the importance of hiring people who cover your weaknesses, the emotional toughness required to keep going, and why entrepreneurship is often far lonelier than people realise.You will learnHow Oliver built Myprotein from a £500 overdraft, with no degree, no investors, and no safety netWhy execution matters more than credentials, and how to start before you feel readyHow to scale a consumer business through lean cash flow, referrals, and smart direct-to-consumer marketingWhat great hiring really looks like, and why your senior team should cover your weaknessesWhy entrepreneurship is mentally hard, emotionally lonely, and still worth it if the mission is realWhat money does and does not solve, after building and selling major businesses Follow Oliver:IG: mrolivercooksonX: olivercookson Buy Oliver's book:Bootstrap Your Life: How to Turn £500 into £350 Million#entrepreneurship #businessstory #startupjourney #founderstory #mindset #selfgrowth #successmindset #motivation #myprotein #businesstips #hustle #resilience #podcastclips #growthmindset #startupadvice #myprotein Hosted on Acast.
