KEY TAKEAWAYS
When I was coming up through school, they always talked about leadership as something you should strive for. What is it about leadership that you value: The outcome, without inspiring people you’re not going to be able to change the thoughts of the masses. You have to lead by example, show people the results and it’s not something you can force on people.
It’s human nature to think ‘out of sight, out of mind’. If it doesn’t affect somebody, they’re not going to affect change on that issue. We could all be doing more. I’m not calling for an uprising or a rebellion, but we do need to tweak the system quite a bit with regards to plastic production and waste, and the way we treat the Earth.
Have you seen people’s habits change over time: This comes back to leading by example, not showing frustration at resistance and certainly not becoming the ‘plastic police’ because you’ll lose them. It’s not about forcing people to change their habits, it’s about inspiring them to become the best version of themselves. By doing so, the environment around them becomes better, not just the physical environment but their relationships, their work, etc.
What’s one of the main things you gained from 2020? My consciousness. I’m back in a human experience acting, not reacting. I’ve created a home in Spain where I’ll spend the next 20-30 years of my life and I’m happy here. To have that systemic level of happiness within your physical essence and your soulful being promotes a much higher level of vibration.
BEST MOMENTS
‘It’s nice to hear somebody else’s story rather than what’s going on in the news.’
‘Sometimes words have more impact than actions. Think of Winston Churchill’s speech during the Second World War.’
‘Humans are part of the universe, is this the legacy we want to leave behind? Life is a wonderful gift that we’ve been given by the universe, why would we ruin that?’
‘On the outside life was great, but inside I was suffering from a victim mentality [from being made bankrupt]. Only when we were locked down in 2020 did I start reacting to that before starting on a path to healing myself.’
ABOUT THE GUEST
It's My Time Podcast is a tribute to everyday people having conversations about their life experience. It is easy to forget how much we go through day to day over time but everyone has a unique story. It's My Time Podcast is a reminder that we all get stuck and mentally paralyzed at times but there is always a way through it.
"Be Proud of your work, endure in your faith, and always hold yourself in high regard with who you say you are. " Listen and laugh with people like yourself who found their way. As you navigate this thing called life remember, Comparison is the thief of Joy.

ABOUT THE HOST
Gavin Scott is a born entrepreneur with a passion for start up and scale up. He has over 20 years real estate experience in investment and development.
Gavin says: Over the years I have discovered that mindset is everything. Now, that might sound obvious, but it is! You see the number of awoken minds are very few in reality. Whilst acknowledging mindset is key it is absolutely different from utilising, influencing, impacting and effecting great change, for yourself, your loved ones, friends, colleagues and the wider public.
Why?
Like most of us I have had many ups and downs. I want to share the lessons learnt and promote a better environment for all, internally and externally!
How?
Through sharing my own experiences and hosting some fabulous individuals including some big household names to discuss key topics around mindset and the success formulas I hope the listener will become inspired to create space for change for betterment in their lives. I aim to inspire change by encouragement, not by force. I intend to inspire by education, not by regulation.
