Speaker 2:

Serena, thank you so much for having me. I'm really excited for our conversation.

Speaker 1:

Me too, I think I first saw your story on LinkedIn and I'm very curious, for the benefit of our audience, if you could talk to us about your story of transformation, what that journey has been like for you.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, no, thank you so much. My initial big transformation happened in 2017. So the background to me is that I was a athlete. I was always in pretty good shape, I knew exactly what I wanted and I'd spent the best part of my kind of school and then university career aiming to get a certain job. And I got this job and I felt fully aligned in a real good place. And then about halfway through that contract, I was made redundant.

Speaker 2:

So in July 2017, I was made redundant and that sent me into a huge spiral of eating and drinking and not wanting to leave the house and I ended up putting on 80 pounds of fat over the best part of five months. And for someone who was pretty athletic and, you know, like to go to the gym and always try to promote health and fitness, it was a huge shock that I was in this situation and what that led to was a diagnosis of clinical depression. So within five months, I'd gone from feeling like everything was aligned to really looking into this dark abyss of hopeless hopeful-lessness easy for me to say and I arrived at December 2017. So kind of five months after this this, this period where I was officially morbidly obese I was redundant, so I wasn't in employment and I was on medication for clinical depression and I had you could call it a couple of rock bottom moments. So the first one was around Christmas time. So we were exchanging gifts and I got a t-shirt and it was from my mother-in-law and father-in-law, you know, lovely present. And I opened it and the size of the t-shirt was XXXL. So it was a XXXL t-shirt and for someone who usually, when it comes to clothes, I'm a small or a medium, normally, that was a almost tangible piece of evidence that you know I'd got into a really bad place and I had a moment where I thought thank you for this present but I'm never going to wear it. That was my initial thought. You know. It was an appropriate present, it was the right size for me, but I'm going to. This is one of my kickstarters. And, anyway, fast forward about 15 minutes. We're sitting around the Christmas table and we're getting our food and I was wearing a shirt that was so tight that I thought one of the buttons was going to ping off across the table into my father-in-law's meal and I had to excuse myself from the table and go and put on the brand new XXXL t-shirt that I'd sworn that I was never going to wear, so I had to put it on and that was the rock bottom moment where I had nowhere else to go. I'd succumbed to this T-shirt almost, and we ended up having our Christmas dinner and I fast forward to I think it was the 2nd of January 2018.

Speaker 2:

And I knew the only place I could go to get out of this situation was with massive action. And the first part was learning more about my mind and my mindset and looking at three of my setbacks as opportunities. So I looked at my morbid obesity as an opportunity to re-evaluate my body and get the physique that I wanted and be the picture of health that I always like to be. I looked at my redundancy as an opportunity to become an entrepreneur and start my own businesses, which is something I'd always wanted to do, which is something I'd always wanted to do.

Speaker 2:

And the last part was I saw my clinical depression as an opportunity to find happiness and real fulfillment, which, again, I'd never found in my life before. So over the next five to six months, I really got to work, first mentally and I learned about all these different mindset techniques, and then really practically and physically. So I I lost the 80 pounds, I started my first business and I was signed off my my medication for depression journey a real physical and mental transformation. But yeah, it was something that I look back on now and it's really built where I've ended up getting to.

Speaker 1:

Thank you so much for sharing that. That is not one, but three obstacles or challenges that you mentioned about hitting rock bottom, and I think a lot of our listeners will really resonate and appreciate the honesty and the transparency with which you just shared. I'm wondering with a clinical depression, the understanding I have and correct me if I'm wrong is that the meds are necessary because clinical depression is different from general depression. Is that right?

Speaker 2:

yeah, it's. It's kind of to do a little bit to do with brain chemistry and even evening someone out, um, because a lot of how I felt was was so negative and so down and I couldn't see any hope, I couldn't see any positivity in the world. Everything was was just, you know, a negative and that was a little bit to do with some brain chemistry in my mindset and what the medication would that I was.

Speaker 1:

It evened that out a little bit, so it didn't necessarily mean I was very happy and buzzing had been, it kind of neutralized me a little bit. Journey is somewhat different, so I think it's important that you've highlighted that what it did was it didn't send you from one end of the spectrum to the other as such. It was more that it evened it out and helped you be at a more neutral state perhaps that is, yeah, that is absolutely right.

Speaker 2:

it it definitely the the medication isn't the full answer when it comes to any mental health. Really, it can play a little part, and the part it played for me was being able to in myself, being able to go okay, yes, thing. I've we've been through a bit of a hard time over the past six to 12 months, but if we look at these things from a different perspective, we can fix what's going on, we can change our outcomes, we can pivot in the direction that our life was going, and it just gave me that brain space to be able to have those thoughts. So, like I say, it wasn't jumping out. You know, have medication one day and then the next day, right, let's go and completely change our lives.

Speaker 2:

It didn't happen like that for me personally, but it did give me that opportunity to have those thoughts and go well actually. Yes, I'm currently morbidly obese, but in six months time I might not be. I'm currently morbidly obese, but in six months time I might not be. And, yes, I might not be in a job right now, but is this the chance to start a business that you've been looking for? So it was just those, those little um, yeah, a little little bit of an opportunity to to have those thoughts, I think.

Speaker 1:

I like how you mentioned that the meds gave you the brain space, because I think that's the one of the key elements that makes a difference in someone's transformation journey. Being very honest about it's not one thing, it's not the other thing. Sometimes it's like you have to try a few different things to see what works for you, and you mentioned that you did a few things in order. You started with your mindset and then you changed your physicality, you started the business and then eventually, you were able to sign off on the meds, which means that, underpinning this whole transition, you could not have 100% control over how it would all turn out. There was no way for you to predict how quickly you're going to come out at the other end of the tunnel, but the meds did help to even out that transition and support you while you were making all those changes in life.

Speaker 2:

Definitely, that's absolutely right, and they are just a piece of a larger puzzle. And when you're in the situation that I found myself in, I got to a point where it wasn't suicidal, so I was a very dark place. But when you're in such a negative space, you suddenly have this almost thirst to try different things to get you out of these situations. So for me, one of them was medication. One of them was medication. The other that really made a big impact was learning more about my mindset and doing things like listening to podcasts just like this one, listening to meditation, doing journaling, starting to think about exercise, looking at my diet and nutrition and all of these things started to be part of that bigger puzzle that eventually would go on to change my life.

Speaker 1:

So it sounds to me almost like it was an opportunity to experiment and to try some different things that had been at the back of your mind, that you wanted to try, for instance, starting a business, and so that gave you not only an opportunity but, I think, an added impetus, having come, having just experienced those three rock bottom moments, to now want to do something different so that you could come out of that state that's yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'd completely agree with that, because I'd been chasing the wrong things for a long time. So I'd played football or soccer in the UK at a very high level and I grew up around seeing things like fancy cars and big houses from the older football players who were on millions. And I came out of that system going, oh well, I want all these tangible things That'll fill the hole of me not fulfilling myself. I want to get all these fancy watches and cars and things, and that had been a pattern where I'd been chasing these tangible items up until that point. And so I was 27 when this all happened.

Speaker 2:

I remember lying on my staircase it was about two or three months into the new year, it was early in 2018, but I'd started the process of this and I remember I was on my staircase and I've got a dog and I've got a cat and they happened to just come next to me at that moment and I thought, if we were picked up and my wife was there as well, and we were just put in a field in a tent the middle of nowhere, I would be the happiest man in the world, because I'd realized that these things that we chase, these items.

Speaker 2:

They really don't make us happy. It's the experiences and the people we spend or animals, in my case, that we spend these experiences with. That's where real happiness and fulfillment really comes from, and that led into why I started my first business, because, as you rightly said, this transformation created the opportunity for me to think right, right, what do I really want to do here? And I kept coming back to I want to impact people in a really positive way. That that was it, and I don't think I would have had those thoughts if I hadn't had this, these setbacks, and I was able to go and start my own business and it was a gym gym at the time and I ended up helping hundreds of people with their own mental health and their physical health. So many positive things came from such a low point in my life, which I think is always interesting.

Speaker 1:

It is always interesting, and I think that's the gift and the metric of going through that kind of suffering. I've often found that it's when we hit rock bottom that we start to have that moment of clarity. Like you said, you know being on the staircase with your dog and your cat and realizing you're the happiest man alive. Just like that, that's all you needed. Like that, that's all you needed. But we spend so much of our lives, decades, just chasing the wrong things, climbing the wrong ladders, and then realizing hang on, that's someone else's expectations, someone else's standards of what I should be pursuing, and it's almost a tragedy how much life we waste in pursuing those things. And then it has to take a rock bottom moment, a wake up call of some kind, before we almost come out of that trance and realize this is not what I want.

Speaker 2:

Yes, that is absolutely right and I felt like I've had yeah.

Speaker 2:

I mean that moment on the staircase. For me was that almost that final nudge, in that I'd re-found who I am and you know, my values are all about empathy and understanding. And yes, there's another side of me, as in. I'm a high performer and I'm disciplined and very motivated and all of those things, but I definitely lost what I think makes me unique in that I am this high performer, but I'm very empathetic and understanding. I just want to help people. I definitely think I'd lost that for a few years, so thankfully, we're back on track now.

Speaker 1:

Fantastic, and I remember that your tagline in LinkedIn stood out to me because you talked about AI and the introverted entrepreneurs that you support and how AI can help them. So talk to us about being an introvert. What's been your experience?

Speaker 2:

Oh, yes, we were the best. Firstly, let's, we'll put that out there. Initially, I think, yeah, for me as an introvert, I sometimes think I am a bit of a contradiction in what others think introverts can or can't do. Others think introverts can or can't do. So you know, I'm a speaker similar to yourself, serena we go on podcasts, can be outgoing confident, and I think my experience as an introvert has been almost dispelling myths around introversion that really are frustrating. But no, as a younger person, I've always been fairly quiet.

Speaker 2:

I've been someone who kept myself to myself. I'm very happy with my own company. I'm one of those people who could be locked in my own house for a weekend, be very, very happy and comfortable. That's, you know, part of who I am. And the other side is, I love the solace of being in the hills with my dog and walking the forests and, you know, spending time in nature. That's all part of what makes me able to function, I think, at the types of levels that I I aspire to to function at. So, yeah, I think, um, being an introvert is something that I'm still still learning to, to balance and to deal with. I, uh, quite often take on too much and I have those, those lows, where you know the energy's been taken out of me and I needed to work at getting my energy back. But yeah, it's really allowed me to again find who I really am and to feel, yes, I'm living my best life now. I think that is how I probably summarize it.

Speaker 1:

So how are you living your best life as an introverted entrepreneur, helping other introverted entrepreneurs?

Speaker 2:

I also strive to protect certain times during the week for activities that will allow me to recharge so I can, first and foremost, be the best husband I can be and then, secondly, be the best mentor and entrepreneur and business owner that I can be. I try and do that by well. Firstly this took a while to get to this point the recipe that needs to be in my week where I feel like I'm thriving. So not every day is the same, but if I had kind of a perfect day or week, it always involves getting up pretty early, so I am one of those who gets up quite early. Involves getting up pretty early, so I am one of those who gets up quite early. I like feeling like I'm the only person up and awake in the world. Really, you know, I, I it's.

Speaker 2:

I live in the northeast of england, a place called newcastle, and it's always dark and cold here, but there's nothing better than looking out my window or stepping outside and it's dark and it's cold and it's crispy and I just have a moment where I go, you know, I take a deep breath and calm myself down, prepare for the day. I then exercise. So I try and go to the gym first thing in the morning there may be things like journaling and meditation and cold water therapy, depending on the day. Meditation and cold water therapy, depending on the day. I then do tasks that I personally find tough. So in any interaction I find tough. So things like outreach for my business, having meetings. I try and do those things where I feel I'm in a great headspace. So it's either first thing in the morning or last thing in the day, depending on what I've got going on. And then, if I finish the work portion, my evenings are really important. So that involves walking the dog, it involves cooking a meal and then sitting down with my wife, catching up with her, maybe watching some television and going to bed reasonably early. So although I get up early, I go to bed early as well and I aim for seven to eight hours of sleep, and that makes me feel really good.

Speaker 2:

And then, if I look at the macro of my full week, saturday is the most important day of my entire week.

Speaker 2:

So we always ring fence a Saturday to go on an adventure, and what that means to us is driving an hour out of the city, out of Newcastle, is driving an hour out of the city, out of Newcastle, where we live, into the Northumberland hills or forests and go and spending two, three hours exploring countryside, breathing in the fresh air, reflecting on my wife and my own weeks and putting any anxiety to bed that we might have had, and doing some planning and some connection and to give you an idea of what that looks like when we're actually in this environment, if you imagine anything from lord of the rings or the hobbit, you know a huge, huge lord of the rings and hobbit fan and we just try and recreate those scenes, the green scenes, and uh, it's, it's fabulous. And then by the end of that, you know, once saturday is being taken care of, we, we come home, maybe have a glass of wine and then, uh, yeah, we feel, feel really satisfied and and almost ready to go again.

Speaker 1:

So saturday is almost a bit of a reset day, if, if that makes sense I love the sound of your saturday and I think billboard baggins would approve of those five or seven meals and, you know, by the fire, being very contented. No visitors, I'm not at home to anyone. Yes, that is exactly. I think the the way introverts thrive. I love how you've buffered and ring-fenced your routine throughout the week, making sure there's always ample. You know you're not rushing from one thing to another, you're not packing the week intensely having to talk to people all the time, because those are things that exhaust the introvert. We can do them, but they come at a cost.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's absolutely right and and I've tried to I need to get better at this. But something I've done in my week is block out those certain calendar times for these activities. So when I do face-to-face conversations or meetings, I usually take those at the end of the day four o'clock, five o'clock. And because I know that, firstly, I, I am an anxious, I've got anxiety. So if anyone's keeping count, that's another thing that I, uh, I, uh, I deal with, and I know that preparing for a meeting or a podcast, it's energy, it's energy. So I try and have all those things at the end of the day so that I can be my best self on these calls, give it everything I've got, and then I know that when we're finished I'll be able to reflect on it a little bit, but my day's really done after that, unless there's any actions that come from those meetings.

Speaker 2:

So that would be the first thing, because I sometimes have meetings, you know, at one o'clock in the afternoon and I've excuse me, I would find myself having these meetings and then I'd be sitting, slumped by, you know, two or three going. Oh, my goodness, I can't do anything else today. So I think, if you're an introvert just trying to think when are you able to thrive? Do you have your most energy in the mornings and a call would get you energized for the rest of the day Great. Or are you more like me, where I try and take care of all the work I need to and keep those meetings at the end of the day where I can leave it? Leave it all on the grass if you take a sporting term and go off into the evening going, ok, yeah, I can switch off now.

Speaker 1:

Thank you for sharing that. I think it's very important to be intentional with a routine. I used to be quite random as well and just go with the flow and allow things to happen, but now I'm learning also to notice and respect my own cycles. So, for instance, right now, when we are talking, I'm here here in Melbourne, australia, and it's 7.30 in the evening. So this will be my last interaction that requires talking and using that kind of energy, whereas for you, your day has just begun. So I think that's really useful for the introvert to know. Now, why do you say AI is the introverted entrepreneur's best friend when it comes to marketing? I'm very curious.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I do say that mainly because, as an introvert myself, I found AI to almost be the perfect partner. So, like I said at the start of our podcast, you know we're the best, introverts are the best. We have some incredible ideas, too many great ideas. Sometimes we've got all these different things where we're trying to balance and juggle, and the first point I would make here is that it's great to have a partner to bounce some ideas off. So let's say you are an entrepreneur, you're an introvert entrepreneur and you're looking to build your business. Right, you probably go I'm going to do a new product or a new offer or a new service just to compliment what I already have. Then, suddenly, if you're writing these down on a piece of paper, it might look something like oh, I'm going to do a new high ticket offer, or I'm going to start a podcast, or I'm going to create a new lead magnet, or I'm going to create a community and a paid community, or maybe I'm going to take my social media a little bit more seriously. And suddenly, all of these 20 ideas are, firstly, all brilliant, but secondly, we go. Oh goodness me, where do I go now? I can't do all 20. And that's me. That's how I work, so I get excited about everything and want to do it all. And the first thing I started to use AI for was having a literal conversation with something like ChatGPT and saying I'm an entrepreneur, I'm looking to build out my offer and create a little bit more when it comes to my services. Here are my 20 ideas. Which do you think are the top three we should explore further, and I would send that off. And then the reply immediately takes me from 20 ideas to the top three that ChatGPT thinks I should go with, and I repeat that process all the way down until I have one idea. And that just helped me personally go from right I'm going to take on the world today down to right. I can actually take this one idea. I could maybe create my some marketing materials or start to plan out how that might look like over the next three or four months, and it meant I could work a lot quicker, because I think we get stuck as introverts in the planning phase a little bit. You know I used to spend weeks thinking about what should my business logo look like when you know it doesn't matter my business logo look like when you know it doesn't matter, and you know, it helps kind of cut through the noise and just creates that space for us to go. Okay, I've got these initial ideas. Now I've got one idea. I can really go and take this forward. So that that would be the first part.

Speaker 2:

The second part, which is where it gets a tad more complicated, is that, as introverts, like we've talked about, we need to conserve our energy. We can't go 100% all the time. That's not how we're built. We work in different ways. If we start to partner with AI partner with AI our business can go 100%, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We can take a step back, though, and we can rest. So what that means is, if we put automations in place or start to engage different AI tools, they can be working while you're sleeping. So there's been some big breakthroughs when it's come to things like AI agents. They are almost like assistants that you can have in your business. They're like junior assistants that can actually do tasks for you while you're asleep. So, for introverts, it's thinking about AI as somebody you can add to your business and work with them almost like a partner. One, it conserves your energy and, two, you can be doubly as productive when you start to engage with these tools.

Speaker 1:

I think a lot of people that I've had conversations with about AI are concerned with the human creativity and the ethics side of things. So they recognize that, yes, it's helpful to have AI as a team member, as a business partner, to run those ideas past and to implement and execute. But when it comes to the pros, the cons, the ethics, the human versus the artificial element, they feel a bit conflicted. What are your thoughts on that?

Speaker 2:

I firstly have massive empathy for those people because I am one of those people as well. I am a huge fan of the arts and the creative industries and I personally have my own worries about those industries. So I'm definitely not an AI guru who's used AI for everything. That's definitely not what my approach is at all. When it comes to using AI in your business, there is definitely pros and cons. The first is never claim to be using AI for your own work if it isn't your own work. So if you're working with clients, if you're working with customers, be super clear where you're using AI and people will acknowledge and accept that written a book and had it actually published and the editors had missed a prompt that that author had accidentally included in their book transcript and had claimed that this was their own work and it turned out it wasn't their own work. So there's some serious repercussions of that plagiarism and what you know lack of damaging your reputation and all these different things. So the first part is, if you're using AI, be really clear and say you are Own the fact that you are an innovative business and you're using AI, and that will be the start of all. It's almost like a little disclaimer, but you're covering yourself when it comes to the actual creation.

Speaker 2:

I like to use the term well, I've used it already working while you're sleeping. So a lot of entrepreneurs create some great content you know this for yourself, serena this podcast. Others might have PowerPoints or PDFs or all of these different things. Now, what I would suggest is never using AI to purely make up content on your behalf. That doesn't interest me at all. I think there's no value in that. But what I do think there's value is we take all of your previously created materials. We take all of your previously created materials, we put them in a folder and we say to AI you can use my previously created materials to help me make new materials. Because what we find, you know I've got, let's say, 1000 social media posts on Instagram and they're not doing anything. You know they're just sitting there. They're just. You know they're sitting idle. But what I could do is take those 1000 Instagram posts, which are my own thoughts, my own feelings, my own experiences, my own case studies, and ask AI to create new posts based on the stuff I've already done.

Speaker 2:

So it's using your work more than once, because when I make a social media post and I'm very happy to be open and honest about this. You might go oh, what am I going to post today? Well, I'll scroll through what have I done previously. Oh, that was a good story. I'll tell it again from a different angle, or maybe I'll record a video this time instead of writing a post. So it's all about that using your own work. It's called a RAG system, where the AI goes into almost like a library that you've created of your own work and it that information and it it turns it into something more useful for you. So that that would be the the first side of things.

Speaker 2:

And then the ethical challenge. I think, again, it's a really important element to always use ai in in a really positive way. Don't use any confidential data you, you know, really at all. But there are ways you can create a ring fence, gpts, where you can use confidential data. But if you're just starting out, avoid using, you know, client data or client names or anything you wouldn't want on the internet, and that would be a good place to start.

Speaker 2:

So it's definitely a tool, definitely a way that we can enhance what we're doing, but definitely come at AI with a balanced view of you know. I'm aware of what this is doing to the environment. I'm aware of everything that could happen with AI and make a decision where you want to use AI in your business. It might be that you say, you know what, I'm not going to use AI for any creation. That's fine, but you could be using AI or autom of your, your calendar or your emails, or you know something where it's going to going to boost you as well. So it's a bit of you know, picking the opportunities for you, your business, your personality, your mindset, where AI may enhance what you're doing, not hinder it.

Speaker 1:

I really appreciate how you've laid it out so clearly and so transparently, because that really overcomes a lot of the objections when it comes to ethics and integrity.

Speaker 1:

So what we're saying is preserve your integrity, keep being a great human being, but also take a macro view and see from a strategic point of view, as a business owner, as an entrepreneur being on the cutting edge of technology point of view, as a business owner, as an entrepreneur, being on the cutting edge of technology how does this help me to do things more efficiently, do things more quickly, cut down some of the hours I spend looking for old information, for instance, which information was created by me, so therefore there's no ethical issue there. Just as I would go back and look at old Instagram posts or LinkedIn posts or my own podcast episodes to scrape that information out, someone can do it faster for me now, while I'm sleeping, as you say. So that's simply being intelligent with our use of our resources, but also maintaining that creator's edge, in that we are the ones with that unique voice, the unique lived experience, the unique lens of being an introvert and a high performer and a quiet achiever, and using all of that to create something that our clients and customers need.

Speaker 2:

That's exactly right and it presents the opportunity for solopreneurs, entrepreneurs, small business owners, to compete with some of the bigger companies. So with the right set of AI agents and automations, a solopreneur or even, you know, a team of four, could outwork a team of 500 that doesn't use AI. So it evens the playing field a little bit when it comes to what your business could actually go and achieve. And it can take some lifestyle businesses where you know you might be working from a cafe and it's just you and you're, you know, creating a few different bits and pieces and you've got a few clients. It can take that lifestyle business and turn it into a performance business with staff and locations and all of these, you know, if that's what the entrepreneur wants. So it just yeah, it evens the playing field and it provides some different opportunities for entrepreneurs to consider.

Speaker 1:

I think that is so exciting for our listeners, the introverted entrepreneurs and those about to start on that journey, who are exploring all the possibilities to take some of what we've just talked about today and start creating a way forward for them to make this a reality sooner rather than later. So, david, what is something you're working on at the moment that you would love more people to know about?

Speaker 2:

Oh, I think there's. Yeah, the main thing that I'm working on at the moment is building my own business. So I've been building Lunala AI for about six months now and we help small businesses and coaches and introverts and entrepreneurs use AI in their marketing to get more leads and interest and attention. So the way the world that I'm in in terms of online, there's lots of competition and I want to help get as many eyes as possible on as many small businesses as possible. So I'm similar to kind of what I mentioned just a second ago Serena. I'm all for bringing that attention to introverts and giving those people an opportunity to grow their businesses. That excites me so much. So we work with businesses to do all of their marketing and their social media and building their personal branding and online presence, all with this aim of can we help you grow your business to a point that you're really excited about. So I do have a website, so it's lunarlacouk, and if anybody's interested, feel free to get in touch with me.
