This episode of the human conversation is a real treat. Not only is today my birthday but it is also the birthday of my wonderful #birthdaysis Lois Cliff. We were in fact born on the very same day.

So Lois asks about many aspects of my journey including…

Sustainability is often misunderstood and often we look down one avenue to evaluate what it means and what we can do to make an impact.

My human conversation this episode was so good. The fantastic Scott Leese is not only a sales legend, but he is also an absolute inspiration. His mindset and resilience gives us so much to learn from and I loved our chat. Scott is one of the top startup sales leaders in the country. Through domestic and international consulting as a strategic advisor; he has trained an army of salespeople and sales leaders thousands strong. Leese puts his nearly two decades of sales and leadership experience to use as the CEO/Founder of both Scott Leese Consulting, LLC and SurfandSales.com. Based in Austin, TX, Scott is a 3-time winner of the Top 25 Inside Sales Professionals by the American Association of Inside Sales, and a highly sought-after consultant, advisor, leader, and sales trainer.

We talk candidly about what that was like and what life is like now because of that experience. We

I am joined by Andy Neilson to chat about the buyer’s journey - quite literally. Andy has been involved in procurement for much of his career - from the world of the potteries working with brands such as Royal Worcester, Denby and Spode to Halfords, Fitness First, and he held a global position at Clarks as Group Head/Vice President of Procurement Supply Chain & Logistics. There isn’t much Andy doesn’t know about procurement. So the sales woman meets the buyer! But this wasn’t a showdown and the normal battle we have been used to all of these years. This was a human conversation about how buyer’s can actually teach sales people a huge amount about building relationships. You can imagine that I loved it! Andy now runs his own business working as a consultant to show businesses not only all of the amazing knowledge he has in procurement, but working with sales people to create cost savings through collaboration whilst building long term relationships. We talk about… Aspiring to be a fighter pilot H

It's not often you get to have a conversation with a world record holder, but there is a whole lot more to Kevin Gaskell that makes him a truly inspirational person. As CEO of successful world class brands - Porsche, Lamborghini, and BMW , and as a serial entrepreneur who has built international companies from ‘a good idea’, Kevin has created over £3 billion in shareholder value – and yet has still found time to climb the world’s highest mountains, walk to both North and South Poles, compete in international sport and play in a rock band - and did I mention his world record from rowing across the Atlantic. On this epic achievement he said, “We have crossed the ocean and we all came out of it still friends. That was our main aim. I am very privileged to have been part of that. I feel incredibly fortunate”. Kevin and his Atlantic rowing team are now World Record holders for the fastest row across the Atlantic in a 5 man boat. The epic journey, which took 35 days 19 hours and 50 minutes, raised more than £
