  • How One Woman's Determination Rewrote The Rules For Women's Rights: Kathrine Switzer's Race Of Rebellion (Ep007)

    How One Woman's Determination Rewrote The Rules For Women's Rights: Kathrine Switzer's Race Of Rebellion (Ep007)
    Aug 8 2024

    The year is 1967, and Kathrine Switzer is about to change the world of sports for women - and women's rights - all over the globe.

    Fighting with organisers, the press and even her own partner as they tried to physically remove her from running the Boston Marathon, Switzer stood firm and continued irrespective of the detractors, and joins us on The Resilience Project podcast and shares the touching truths of what it took, to redefine sports for generations of women.

    Her story is one of personal resilience, standing up against the odds, and pushing through barriers that seemed insurmountable at the time.

    Kathrine shares key lessons from her life with host Wes Linden, including the mindset needed to overcome obstacles (sometimes physical), stay determined in the face of adversity, and how to build a legacy that inspires others - plus some incredible advice for parents who want to inspire their children to greatness! Her story is packed with inspiration and resilience lessons that will motivate you to tackle your own challenges with new vigour - and she also shares some incredible insights on forgiveness and how she was able to do so with the man responsible for her darkest moment.

  • Shot, depressed & delivering pizza; Brad Burton's mindset shift to become top entrepreneur (Ep005)

    Shot, depressed & delivering pizza; Brad Burton's mindset shift to become top entrepreneur (Ep005)
    Jun 6 2024

    From delivering pizzas aged 31 to becoming one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs, Brad Burton has an extraordinary story, that not even he can believe! Having grown up in a rough council estate, Brad was shot at twice and had to relocate his life overnight to the other side of the country. In debt and claiming benefits, he decided enough was enough. He went from delivering pizzas in an old car, barely making the minimum wage - to running a business that was turning over more than two million pounds, as well as become an inspirational speaker and an author of four best-selling books including 'Get Off Your Arse' and 'Now What?' Brad’s extraordinary story is full of wisdom, that you can only learn from having been through the trials and tribulations yourself, and success stories you won’t ever hear from a ‘guru’ selling an expensive course (who have generally never actually built a solid business themselves!) - in fact, I’d go as far as to say, you’ll get all the wisdom you will need to help you unlock your struggles and start taking action by listening this podcast. In this episode of The Resilience Project, host Wes Linden looks to uncover the mindset and resilience principles that took Brad from a life destined for prison, to now being able to live a lifestyle he could only ever dream of, for him and his family. 00:00 Intro 01:25 How did you get from pizza delivery to where you are now? 02:33 At what point did you know you had to change? 03:19 Would you have ended up in prison? 03:44 How did you get out of your situation? 05:39 People will relate even if they haven’t had bullets through the window! 07:38 So how did you go from pizza guy to business owner? 09:26 Resilience & tough times. 10:18 Desperate for instant success. 13:42 Irritating ‘gurus’ selling courses. 16:47 Making choices. 17:28 People kidding themselves. 21:00 How close can a goal be even if it seems far away? 22:55 So you were delivering pizzas in your early thirties. How did your business come from there? 27:55 Not focusing on negativity. 28:46 Imposter syndrome. 29:43 4N 31:03 Importance of building relationships. 33:35 People judging you on how you dress. 36:18 Break 36:31 Is news and social media stealing hope and belief from people? 38:43 Avoiding the news. 39:40 4N was a big thing. 41:40 What's the difference between burnout & breakdown? 43:04 Enthusiasm. 47:34 Success & failure. 49:48 How to stop yourself and others quitting. 53:44 Reaction to success. 56:05 You selling your business. 01:03:48 The Lurpak! 01:07:01 Control the controlables. 01:10:33 What would you say to people about keeping going? 01:12:32 How will people remember Brad Burton? 01:13:10 How do people get through not feeling like they’re enough? 01:14:04 Closing Follow me: https://beacons.ai/theresilienceproject Brad’s books on Amazon (UK): https://t.ly/h8KyK Brad on social: https://www.instagram.com/bradburton Wes on social: https://www.instagram.com/weslinden https://www.linkedin.com/in/weslinden Never miss an episode: https://www.weslinden.com/podcast
