Mark is a former professional footballer with a very unique and inspiring story of playing the sport after undergoing not just one, but two open heart surgeries, and at such a young age. He is now sharing his story which is one around dealing with adversity and bouncing back from challenges that life can sometimes throw at you. 

Sandro Forte is a highly respected and successful businessman who has built an astonishing network of well-known individuals, sports stars and celebrities over a career spanning more than 30 years.

Author of the bestselling book ‘Dare to Be Different’ and a sought-after speaker, Sandro has decided to access his enviable resources to produce a podcast series, centred around personal development, which invites a different person each episode to talk about their successes, their challenges and what lessons they have learned in life to make them who they are today. Their insights and wisdom both educate and motivate as they explain how success, whilst not always easy, is achievable for anyone.

As a single mum leaving college, my next guest, Stephanie Taylor, tried to work whilst raising her baby boy. With little money Stephanie caught the property bug, and with her sister Nicky, built a £multi-million property portfolio and award-winning property management and development company as well as inspiring thousands of non-traditional investors to get started in property. 
As well as this, and being an author and podcaster, Stephanie is setting up an accommodation and education trust to help people who struggle to find beautiful affordable homes like she did as a teenage single mum on benefits.

Kresse Wesling CBE: Take action

I’m joined today by Anita Brightley-Hodges – a fantastic role-model for women in business and a shining example of compassion through the fundraising that she has done for numerous charities.
Anita runs her own business as a specialist advisor to people that own their own family businesses. All businesses come with challenges, but when they’re family-run, they also come with their additional pressures. As wonderful it is to know you have set up a business that could be passed down from generation to generation, you also have overcome the hurdles of working with family, dealing with succession of the business and family disputes. Anita is the go-to woman to offer strategies to deal with these eventualities. In addition to this she offers wealth and well-being support to clients that are dealing with life-changing situations in her Associate role at ‘Saphora Private’…and somehow, in the middle of her incredibly busy and successful business life, she’s managed to complete numerous tough treks across the globe to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity.

Anita talks to Sandro about her family business and what makes it work so well and she explains how she is able to help others, not only by using her wealth of experience but because she has personally lived many of the situations she helps people through, such as a marriage breakdown and the time in 2008 when, as she put it, she “lost everything”.
