What if everything you thought success looked like... wasn't the thing at all?In this emotional, wise, and deeply human episode, I sit down with Norman Mayhew, entrepreneur, mentor, and founder of The Sussex Sign Company, for a conversation that is as raw as it is inspiring.From growing up in poverty and dealing with childhood trauma, to building a million-pound business and learning how to define “enough,” Norman’s story is a moving reminder that the most valuable things in life often aren’t things at all.💬 Norman opens up about:Growing up with violence, shame, and the tally man at the doorHis fight to break the cycle for his kids — and the cost that came with itWhy dignity in work matters more than what’s in the bankThe lessons learned from 30 years in business and 60+ years in lifeThe moment he realised that love is the only thing that really countsThis isn’t a business podcast. This is a conversation about being human.👉 Whether you’re a founder, leader, parent, or someone just trying to hold it all together, this one will move you, shake you, and maybe even help you breathe a little deeper.📍 Key Chapters:00:00 – Introduction04:34 – Redefining Success After 30 Years16:19 – Childhood Trauma & the Drive to Break the Cycle21:26 – The Regrets of Working Too Much29:29 – The School System is Broken34:35 – All They Wanted Was Time43:03 – Dignity in Work: A Brother’s Story55:38 – Building the Sussex Sign Company From Scratch1:10:22 – Leadership, Loyalty & Lifelong Lessons1:47:11 – Final Reflections📲 Follow, subscribe, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.🎥 WATCH NOW on YouTube: 🎧 LISTEN on Spotify/Apple Podcasts: https://linktr.ee/differenthatsSpecial Thanks to Our SponsorsSearch Seven: https://www.searchseven.co.ukPlus X: https://www.plusxinnovation.comNostos Hove: https://www.nostos-hove.co.ukRivervale: https://www.rivervale.co.ukProduced By:H2 Productions Ltd – https://h2productions.co.uk#DifferentHatsPodcast #NormanMayhew #RedefiningSuccess #Entrepreneurship #MentalHealthAwareness #Legacy #Love #Storytelling #Leadership #DignityInWork #Purpose #YouAlrightMate #BusinessWithHeart Hosted on Acast.
