Tommy G Talks - Episode 137: Should a business be on ALL social platforms, Thoughts on ChatGPT and Marketing mindset.
 
The Tide Report - JANUARY 2023
Today we have a Tommy G Talks podcast first!
 
I am attempting a new sub-series of episodes that dive deeper into some of the things that my team and I have been up to at Tide 55.
 
We are calling it "The Tide Report - Stay ahead of the wave"
It's something that we do 1x per month, where the team present me with questions (that I have had no part in coming up with) for me to answer on camera.
 
The questions are all about things we have done, things we are doing, and the latest hot topics in the digital marketing world.
 
So here's the first publicly available episode!
 
Have a listen and let me know what you think.

Tommy G Talks Episode 136: Everything Changes! - What Happened To Tommy G?
 
First of all I am still here...
Second of all, thank you for being here too.
 
I have always believed that this podcast should run parallel to my life.
A lot has changed since the days of the Super Self Summit and Being a Health & Fitness Professional.
 
Yet there are some very distinct similarities between my old career and what I do now (Run a Digital Marketing Agency)
 
In this episode I touch base with you after many months of silence, and I share 3 things that are similar PLUS 3 things that I have really found difficult in transitioning from the gym floor to a desk job.
 
As always, I hope that you can lift some positive energy form listening, and I welcome your interaction.

Everything Changes! - What Happened To Tommy G?

Tommy G Talks - Episode 135: Why is SLOW success always best?
Contrary to popular belief, it's OK to make small, slow but steady progress!
Because slow success is real success.
 
It doesn't happen overnight. For anyone.
Do not let anyone inform you otherwise. They are likely misleading you for their own gain.
 
This episode is a reminder of the 3 main areas of life that we are constantly managing and navigating.
 
If we have fires in 1 or more of the 3 areas, we will struggle to make any progress. That's reality.
It's tough and we get challenged.
 
Which is why we must be realistic and show the courage required to make progress. Steady progress.

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.

Welcome back to Tommy G Talks.
Second episode in 2 weeks.

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.

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.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 122: Anger into laughter - Things aren’t always what they seem!

I JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU!
I went to get a coffee and what I saw made me angry. 


But that anger soon turned into laughter when I realised what was going on. 


Perspective is everything, especially right now when the world seems to be that little bit “spikyer” than usual. 


So the next time you see something that angers you...remember this!

Tommy G Talks - Episode 120: Turning The Tide (Why it's time for a change)
 
Hey, Tommy G here...
 
2020 has been an accelerator for change.
Sometimes we can hold on to things for too long when really, we should let them go and smile that what was GREAT will always be GREAT...But future greatness cannot occur if we do not have the space for it to grow.
 
In this episode I share the big change for me in 2020 and why I have chosen to stop and conclude my life coaching and events business.
...and how (and what) I will be doing for YOU from here on out.
 
 
Thank you for being here,
 
Let's get positive about the future, together.

Tommy G Talks - Episode 119: The Story of Reebok, w/ Joe Foster, The Founder
Joe Foster founded Reebok with his Brother Jeff back in 1958. 
 The global brand that we all know as one of the market leaders in sport and fashion, once operated out of an old factory with holes in the roof and holes in the floor!
In this interview, Joe shares some of the early stories and hardships that they faced, as well as some of the magical moments along the way.
I felt very grateful and honoured to be speaking with such an example of British business and innovation. 
As a kid, I would draw the Reebok logo time and time again and imagine having the latest trainers on my feet.   
To interview the Founder and for him to have such an open, real and enchanting conversation was really special. 
Joe’s new book “ShoeMaker” is out now and you can get yourself a signed copy from http://www.jwfosterheritage.com  
Thanks for listening, i hope you like the episode.

My guest for this episode is Thomas Gardner.
Thomas is a YouTube creator with thousands of subscribers, and the founder of "Manbuns & Manes" the online community dedicated to supporting men on their hair growth journey!
I stumbled across Thom's content on YouTube during lockdown and I binge watched dozens of his helpful videos before joining his community myself!
I am thrilled that he agreed to come onto my podcast.
We talked hair growth, man buns, confidence and why it is so important to "give things a go" in life.
 
Enjoy the episode
