This week, I’m joined by Stuart Ritchie, seasoned network marketer with Utility Warehouse. In this episode we get properly into what it actually takes to build long-term success in network marketing.
We talk about:
Why he built a team from day one (even when he had no clue what he was doing)
The mindset shift that changes everything when it comes to recruiting
Why most “no’s” aren’t about you
Network marketing without the ick (yes, we talked about cold DMs 😬)
Systems, habits and why motivation is wildly overrated
Confidence, mistakes and growing into the leader you become
Stuart shares openly about the wobble years, going bankrupt during the credit crunch, shaking on stage in the early days… and how personal development and simple, repeatable systems changed everything.
If you’ve ever:
Doubted yourself
Fallen out of routine
Felt awkward about recruiting
Wondered if you’re doing it “wrong”
This one’s for you. Go have a listen.

Neurodiversity and Network Marketing - with Helen and Leanne from ND Accreditation

In this episode, I am joined by Helen Morris and Leanne Naylor from ND Accreditation for an honest and practical conversation about neurodiversity and network marketing. They share why neuro-inclusion matters, not just ethically, but commercially too, and how different brain types bring real value when environments are designed to support them.
Helen opens up about her lived experience with ADHD and dyslexia, the challenges she’s faced in traditional work settings, and her drive to make things easier for others walking a similar path. Leanne explains how their work is designed to support neurodiverse individuals and those working and living alongside them.
The conversation also explores why entrepreneurship and network marketing can be a powerful alternative to traditional employment for neurodivergent people. Together, we talk about adapting communication styles withing your downline, setting boundaries, managing energy and time, and learning to work with your brain rather than against it.
This episode is a must-listen for business owners, leaders, and network marketers who want to create more inclusive environments – and for anyone navigating business through a neurodivergent lens.

Building a resilient, successful business through passive income

In this episode, I share how important it is to find different ways that build your audience, build trust and connection and that don't just involve exchanging your time for money. Growing your business using a one to many model to create a sustainable business that gives you the ability to grow bigger using less resources is key to scalability within network marketing.
 
I share with you some of my journey and how I implemented passive and semi passive lead generation and income production, and give ideas on the things you could put in place too.

From Lawyer to Soap Maker - Melanie Brown's Journey to Owning Her Next Chapter

In this episode, Melanie and I talk about self-care in a much deeper, more meaningful way - not as a luxury, but as a foundation for confidence, independence, and long-term success.
We explore what it really means to back yourself, especially during seasons of change. Melanie shares insights from her journey through corporate law, entrepreneurship, and network marketing, and together we unpack the mindset shifts that make it possible to move beyond labels, expectations, and old definitions of success.
This conversation is especially for those of you who have ever felt boxed in by roles, titles, or other people’s opinions. We talk about:
why self-care is essential, not selfish
rebuilding confidence after career or life changes
trusting yourself when starting something new
perseverance when things don’t go to plan
finding purpose, flexibility, and belief through network marketing
We also touch on resilience - how setbacks, rejection, and uncertainty can shape the strength you need for what comes next.
If you’re navigating a new chapter, questioning what’s possible for you, or needing a reminder that your past doesn’t limit your future, this episode offers reassurance, perspective, and encouragement to keep going.

Why not showing up on camera is harming your success - with Vicki Head, Brand Photographer

In this episode, Vicki and I talk about the role your images play in building trust and connection online, especially in network marketing. We look at how your photos and imagery shape first impressions, and why authenticity in this matters far more than perfection.
We break down simple, practical ways to improve your photos without fancy equipment or complicated setups. From easy lighting ideas to small positioning tweaks, Vicki shares tips that help you look and feel more natural and confident on camera.
We also dig into the deeper side of visual branding, including:
aligning your images with your personality and values
using relatable, current photos to build trust
finding consistency in your visual messaging
getting more comfortable being photographed
understanding how imagery communicates your message quickly and clearly
Along the way, we talk honestly about the challenge of figuring out who you are in your brand and why it’s normal for that to evolve over time.
If you want your visuals to feel more like “you,” or you’ve been avoiding the camera altogether, this conversation will give you practical steps and reassurance to start showing up with more confidence and clarity.
 
Vicki Head is a creative force passionate about empowering people through photography. Through her award-winning business, she helps individuals and brands connect with their audience by crafting imagery that captures attention, builds trust, and communicates personality. In a visual culture where first impressions matter, Vicki combines her deep understanding of semiotics and subliminal messaging with her theatre background and academic expertise to create imagery with impact.
She holds a first-class honours degree in commercial photography, specialising in advertising and marketing, and has been recognised as Photographer of the Year for Central England for five consecutive years. Vicki is also a Craftsman with the Guild of Professional Photographers — a testament to her dedication to the craft.
Her approach blends technical excellence with a warm, intuitive understanding of people. Drawing on over 35 years in theatre, where she has won local and national awards for acting and directing, Vicki brings a unique perspective on character, light, and storytelling to every project. (Her favourite role? The gloriously off-key Florence Foster Jenkins.)
As a teacher, mentor, and image strategist, she has supported everyone from college students and photography hobbyists to business owners seeking to elevate their brand presence.
A mum of three grown-up children, Vicki has always appreciated photography’s power to preserve the fleeting and celebrate the meaningful. Known for her empathy and humour, she also loves walking in the Lake District, crime dramas and catching up with friends over a coffee.

Room 101 - Becoming Unapologetically You with guest Jojo Smith from CreativSAS

In this episode, Jojo Smith from CreativSAS and I sit down together for a real, honest chat about what brand truly means and why it matters so much for anyone building a business, especially in network marketing.
 
We break down the difference between your brand (who you are at the core) and your branding (how that identity shows up visually), and we talk about why understanding the two can completely change the way you show up online.
 
Throughout the conversation, we explore the deeper stuff too - self-awareness, confidence, authenticity, and the beliefs that can either hold you back or help you stand out.
 
We share practical ideas to help you:
• get clearer on the values and personality behind your brand
• show up with more confidence and honesty
• embrace the things that make you different (even the ones you think are “flaws”) • build trust by being unapologetically yourself
• stay aligned with your company’s values while still being uniquely you
 
This episode is all about giving you permission to own who you are - because in a noisy, AI-driven world, authenticity is your biggest differentiator. 
 
Tune in, feel encouraged, and walk away knowing exactly how to bring more you into your business.
