Summary

This week, Ellie is joined by audio entrepreneur and branding strategist, performance coach and iTunes Top 50 podcaster, James Burtt.

James talks about his fascinating journey through a musical career and into business, why honesty matters when it comes to putting your message out into the world, the wisdom he's found in the most unlikely places, and why we should always be ready when opportunity arrives.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Many people document their wins, but life isn't always about constant victories. Some days you are faced with challenges, and talking about these can prove invaluable to others.
Opportunities arise from the most unlikely of places at times. We must never remain closed off to chances to do things differently as the journey can lead to some incredible new places.
In business and life, it can be challenging when our partners do not share or understand our visions and goals, as it can produce a friction.
When we find ourselves in low places, it is not necessary to have all the answers. All we need to do is make sure we're putting one foot in front of the other and moving forward in some small way.

BEST MOMENTS

'What I'm committed to doing is finding what's in it for someone else'

'The first step towards self-improvement is being self-aware'

'It's better to know than to not know'

'Inner grit is a refusal inside you to give up and accept that that is your reality'

0:00.0	I am joined by the fabulous James Burke. James is an absolute superstar. Some of you may recognize
0:06.4	his dulcet tones because he actually interviewed me on a previous episode. He is the audio entrepreneur,
0:13.4	he's a personal brand guru, iTunes top 50 podcaster, performance coach and media trainer,
0:19.2	keynote speaker, co-founder of the winners club. He's had some awesome guests on Grand Cardone,
0:25.4	he's had Eleanor Cardone and he's even had the unbelievably cool Ellie McKay.
0:31.1	I don't believe you guys, I don't believe you're getting excited. I've just ruined your credibility
0:36.4	there by chucking myself in the mix with that as I always do. Why not? I always do that with the
0:40.3	time, my room, my own credibility. So why not? That's fine. Thank you for having me. I really
0:43.9	appreciate it. And as the person who helps me with podcasts and stuff, isn't it ironic that my
0:47.6	camera decides to not work during the middle of that introduction so people saw me here for a bit,
0:51.3	then duck out for a bit and then you have to quickly move my web cam out the way. So it is what
0:56.9	it is. Thank you for having me. I'm excited about this. I have got to say, though, I'm a bit annoyed
1:01.6	how good your setup looks because now I've just got like a crap bookcase in the background,
1:06.4	which has some microphones and stuff like that looks all right. But you've well and truly outdone
1:11.3	me, haven't you, with your setup? This is fancy. I smashed it out the park. But you're not just going
1:16.4	back to what you're saying there are James. I think one of the reasons I resonate with you so much and
1:20.7	one of the reasons I think that you get such good reach is because you do keep it real, you know,
1:26.7	you're hugely successful across your different businesses. But you, we were just actually talking
1:31.6	before we went live and going off in the tangent street, we were just sitting the precedent here for
1:37.4	the rest of the interview is going to be like, but I was listening to one of your previous podcasts.
1:42.5	And I was just really bold over by how honest and genuine you are. You really share everything
1:48.0	more and there's no smoke and mirrors. And I really want to commend you for that.
