Simon Chalk: If you find a job you love, you’ll never do another days work in your life

Lucy Beckwith comes from a family with tourism in their blood. She’s a Director, along with her brother Matthew, at City Cruises; the biggest tour boat operator on the River Thames in London. Her parents first set sail into the world of tourism in 1985 when they launched ‘The King’ to allow tourists to see London from the comfort of a boat. In 1996 they set up ‘City Cruises’ which sails more than an astounding 4 million passenger journeys every year and employs over 300 staff, and it also offers the same service in York and Poole. With London being one of the top sightseeing cities in the world, Lucy’s hugely successful family business clearly knows exactly what they have to do to get people to choose their service in a city otherwise over-spilling with sightseeing businesses.

Lucy talks to Sandro about being born into a successful family business and recognising the amazing opportunity she was given, but also how she’s brought her own strength and approach to help the company become more successful than ever.

Lucy Beckwith: Being way too entrepreneurial to be employable

Steve Judge’s story is one of sheer inspiration. Steve always had a passion for all sports, especially running but when he was in a near fatal car accident in 2002, both his legs were crushed and he was told he may never walk again and could lose both legs. So when I tell you that he went on to not only push himself through unimaginable pain barriers to walk again, but that he also became a multi-award winning para-triathlete and that 2 of those awards were as World Champion, you will get an idea for the determination and motivation this man has. He’s now retired as a para-triathlete and is has become an international motivational speaker. His attitude when he was in a wheelchair was that his accident hadn’t ‘ruined’ his life but instead ‘changed’ his life, and this sums up the immense positivity he shares with people at his hugely inspiring and entertaining events.

Steve talks about the importance of setting goals and working towards them and when challenges get in the way, you change the plan not the goals. A truly inspirational podcast where Steve really shows that if you believe in yourself and keep working towards your goals you can achieve amazing things.

Olu Adepitan: The importance of adaptability

Today I’m joined by founder and CEO of ‘Unstoppable Software’, Sam Schutte. Every aspect of our world in this day and age involves some kind of software and Sam is the brains behind some of the most unique software development going on in the USA. It’s not only his company’s ability to develop great software that has seen him working with numerous billion dollar organisations, but it’s also his expert ability to bridge the gap between developers and upper management that sets him apart from other consultants – something he learnt through his experience is seriously lacking in his industry.
