My Interview with Mat from Prima Fitness

May 14, 2020 04:30 - 58 minutes - 49.7 MB

This week I sit down with Mat from Prima Fitness based in Kingston upon Thames. The biggest take away from this interview is Mat's attitude towards the lockdown, how he's coped with it and how he sees him and his business coming out the other side. This is notwithstanding his career as a very successful professional ballet dancer before his life in fitness and personal training. Although Mat's personal training studio is new and the doors to it opened only weeks before lockdown once you've l...

Interview with Rachel Kenning

May 08, 2020 04:30 - 1 hour - 66.1 MB

This week I sit down with Rachel Kenning the owner and founder of Top Bop, funky jazz dance classes. What I liked about talking to Rachel was that there was allot similarities between her journey and our journey with Bounceagogo. This is definitely an interesting insight into the hurdles faced when setting up and running a small business (not least dealing with COVID). You can follow Rachel @bop_top on twitter and @top_bop on Instagram. You can also check out the Top Bop site at www.topbo...

Interview with Jaco Ottink

April 23, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 92.5 MB

It was an absolute privilege to sit down with Jaco and start to get an insight into what he has achieved as a mountaineer, polar explorer as well in his corporate career. What is really clear after talking with him is that Jaco really does know how to set a goal and then go after it. You know the interview has gone well when after an hour and a half you know you have to respect your guests time and start to wind it up but you still have so much that you want to ask them. Luckily, Jaco will b...

Interview with Susie Weaver

April 16, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 62.2 MB

This is the second recording that I have done with Susie.

Sue is the author of the So Happy In Town (S.H.I.T.) blog and the creator of the S.H.I.T. Tee campaign. This campaign, with really clever use of language, raises the mental health issue in young people as well as raising thousands of pounds for the @youngmindsuk Susie really...

Interview with Sophie the Virtual Assistant

April 14, 2020 05:00 - 1 hour - 63.6 MB

Sophie East-Scopes first started to turn up in the Bounceagogo feeds about 12 months and I've always liked the vibe that underpinned her content so it was great to get on the show and start to find out who the person was behind the content. Sophie is a Virtual Assistant, and at first, I wanted to find out exactly what a virtual assistant was. It was a funny point in the interview when she describes how she had to google what a virtual assistant was. Once she realised what it actually was ...

This week I sit down with Helen Dukes the owner and co-founder of Disko Kids. I first came across Disko Kids on the Bounceagogo Instagram feed about 2 years ago. The Disko Kids products are retro 70's early 80's in feel with Disco, Pop orientated prints on Tees, Sweatshirts as well as framed prints. The images that Helen posts of her product range are really clean and cool. It was really lovely to get behind these posts and talk to Helen and find out she was as cool as her product range. ...

This week I talk with Marat Szelest. Marta is a Polish Canadian Gym owner based in Kitchener Ontario. Marta only turned up in the Bounceagogo social feeds recently promoting all that she does in and around her gym. What has been clear from the start is the emphasis that Marta places of Head first Body second approach and that how we feel about and see ourselves is at least equally, if not more important than working on the body alone.

About 18 months ago myself and Don's paths crossed on line (via Facebook) because of a share interest in the sport of power lifting.
