Episode Synopsis

Persistence isn't glamorous, but it's the reason every success story exists. In this episode, I talk about the one skill that underpins everything: persistence. The ability to keep going, keep learning, and keep believing: even when life gives you a thousand reasons to quit. I share my own story of persistence; from restarting my engineering degree in my 30s (after talking myself out of it once) to building my career, businesses, and discipline brick by brick. I also dive into the powerful examples of people who turned "no" into "not yet": J.K. Rowling, rejected by 12 publishers before creating a global phenomenon. Sylvester Stallone, who heard "no" 150 times before Rocky hit the big screen. Sara Blakely, who turned $5,000 and a mountain of rejections into the billion-dollar Spanx empire. Nick Vujicic, born without limbs, now inspiring millions worldwide. Vera Wang, Michael Jordan, and even Albert Einstein: all proof that persistence is the ultimate equaliser. Persistence doesn't mean perfection. It means showing up, again and again, no matter how many times you fall. Because you can be average at almost everything; but if you're persistent, you'll still win. If you've been doubting yourself, or thinking you're "too late" or "not ready," this episode will reignite your fire. Listen in, and remember: Fall down seven times, stand up eight.  ✨ Take your first step toward unstoppable persistence: start with clarity.
