Episode Synopsis

⚠️ Warning ⚠️ This episode contains content that may be alarming to some listeners. We do talk about suicide, which we know can be distressing.This week's episode of the podcast we talk to a truly inspirational entrepreneur, Rob Goddard, as I am joined on this special episode by my co-host, the wonderful Jo Baldwin Trott. Rob is an investor, author, mentor, board advisor and someone that has grown and sold many businesses, but on his journey has faced some tough times that he shares in his book 'Suicide to Success' and today will share with us.When I started this podcast I wanted to create a space to have truly authentic, open and honest conversations about the entrepreneurial journey, the up's, down's and everything else in between. I have been fortunate enough that my guests have gone deep and shared their highest highs and lowest lows, none more so than Rob Goddard. Rob's inspiring story takes us to a place in his life where he ran away from his problems in the UK, he lost his job, marriage, was in debt and found himself at the top of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai where he had planned to end his life, only a locked fire exit stopped him. Rob discusses his mindset around this time and how a conversation and reaching out to a good friend Alex and asking for help, allowed him to make some changes and rebuild his life. Rob has gone on to build and sell many successful businesses but with clarity and purpose. We talk about success and what that looks like to him now, and the two most important things in life, your health and relationships. With suicide still the biggest killer in men under 45 in the UK, this is why we need to have these conversations and change the narrative that vulnerability and asking for help is brave and sign of strength, NOT weakness. There are so many incredible takeaways from this episode that I would need to write a book to cover them all. I am so grateful to Rob for being such an amazing guest as well as my incredible co-host Jo for helping me record one of the most powerful episodes of the podcast yet..Everyone has a story to tell...Watch the episode on YouTube ➡️ https://youtu.be/SS3d31NALZkFind out more about Rob Goddard click here ➡️ https://robgoddard.co.uk/OUR SPONSORSCreative Pod ➡️ https://www.creativepod.uk.com/EMC Corporate Finance ➡️ https://www.emcltd.co.uk/Preston Insurance Brokers ➡️ https://prestoninsurancebrokers.co.uk/Plus X ➡️ https://plusx.space/Produced by H2 Productions ➡️ https://h2productions.co.uk/ Hosted on Acast.
