This week I speak with Stoyan Yankov, productivity and performance coach and author of PERFORM: The Unsexy Truth About (Startup) Success.
Stoyan has a fantastic life story to share. Starting in his native Bulgaria and pursuing a finance degree in Denmark, he discovered a passion for filmmaking that saw him eventually work as a producer for more than 500 films. Then the epiphany happened. When delivering a speech, he realised a person's life could truly be changed with a one-hour speech. After that, he quit filmmaking and pursued a career as a motivational speaker and workshop host.
We talk:
- Washing dishes and giving speeches
- Keeping purpose present
- The Art of Prioritisation
- Are you eating frogs or honey?
- Can 'self-work' be an avoidance strategy?

I read recently that in the late seventies, Dr Roberto Buruzzi studied a virtually uncontacted Xingu tribe living in Brazil.
He found not a single case of heart or vascular disease or any of the diseases associated with a stressful lifestyle, and, out of 500 people, just 5 cancers, three of which were skin cancer.
Our comfortable urban existence can come at a cost.Florence Williams shares some tips for getting more nature into our lives.

This week, I speak with Philippa Kindon & Taryn Burden, representing the UK software development company Mayden. Philippa and Taryn share Mayden's genuinely pioneering culture. Mayden has taken self-management from the software team and applied it to the whole company.
Philippa and Taryn absolutely give the lie to the belief that removing formal hierarchy inevitably leads to chaos. In fact, it's given them an outstanding culture.
We talk:
- A coach for everyone
- Personal growth, not promotion
- Building culture bottom up

I've got a great one for you this week. I speak with the fantastic Fini Cooper, a Breathwork Therapist based in London.
I first met Fini hosting the Wellness In The Wild festival, and her speech was brilliant. Despite being a part-time yogi for two decades, I hadn't realised the extent of the benefits of breathwork: the impact that taking conscious control of our breathing can have on our health and well-being.
We talk:
- Foundational breathing
- The difference between talk therapy and deep work
- Why CO2 is good for us
- Playing with inhale vs exhale
- Taping your mouth at night
