🎙️ What if the investment advice most people trust fails when markets become most dangerous?

We’re delighted to welcome Theodore Hicks, CFP, CKA, CMT to the Podcast Guesting Pro thought leadership community.

Theodore is a financial planner, author and speaker whose career has been shaped by navigating some of the most challenging market conditions of the past three decades, including the dot-com crash and the global financial crisis.

In his conversation with Cassandra Welford on Find Your Voice, Theodore challenges conventional thinking around:

📉 Why diversification can fail during major market downturns
🛡️ Why protecting wealth should come before chasing returns
📊 The limitations of traditional portfolio theory
🧠 Why investors should question experts and follow the evidence
📚 The thinking behind his book, Evidence-Based Investing

One of Theodore’s most memorable ideas is simple:

“Guardrails first, then growth.”

His approach is not about predicting the next financial crisis. It is about helping investors build strategies designed to survive difficult periods, protect what they have already accumulated and remain positioned for long-term growth.

This was a fascinating conversation about investing, integrity, critical thinking and the courage to challenge accepted wisdom.

A huge welcome to Theodore. We’re excited to support him in sharing his expertise with even wider audiences through podcast guesting. 🎧🌍

🔹 Why vulnerability is a leadership strength
🔹 The connection between trauma, anger and self-esteem
🔹 The importance of honest feedback and accountability
🔹 How leaders can develop greater self-awareness
🔹 Why asking for help can genuinely save a life

✨ Welcome to the Podcast Guesting Pro thought leadership community, Paphitis! ✨

We’re delighted to welcome Anne as one of our newest clients — and what a fascinating, vibrant voice she brings with her.

Originally from South Africa and now based in beautiful Cork, Ireland, Anne is building a powerful platform around midlife reinvention, motivation, mindset, personal growth, and helping people reconnect with themselves in a deeper, more courageous way. 🌿

Anne’s work speaks especially to women navigating life beyond 50, those moments when the old “happily ever after” story no longer quite fits, and a new chapter is calling. Her message blends practical action, emotional honesty, personal development, storytelling, journaling, spirituality, manifestation, and real-life reinvention into something deeply relatable and refreshingly human.

With a background in coaching, mentoring young people, keynote speaking, writing, and creating transformational journal-based resources, Anne has a wonderfully broad perspective on what it means to rebuild, reimagine, and step fully into the next phase of life.

Anne has the kind of energy that makes you want to lean in, listen, and probably leave the conversation ready to do something bold. She is warm, wise, funny, open, and completely unafraid to explore the big questions: identity, ageing, confidence, femininity, spirituality, courage, and what it really means to start again.

We’re so excited to support Anne Paphitis as she shares her voice on more podcasts, grows her speaker profile, and brings her message of midlife possibility to new audiences around the world. 🎙️

Please join us in giving Anne a huge welcome to the Podcast Guesting Pro | Thought Leadership, PR & Public Speaking community! 👏

Some stories stay with you long after the conversation ends.
In this powerful episode of Find Your Voice, Cassandra Welford speaks with Leanne Sheargold, an intuitive trauma healer, quantum healing practitioner and founder of Pure Gold Holistic and Wellbeing.

Leanne’s journey is one of extraordinary resilience.
At just 28 years old, while raising three young children, she suffered a stroke that changed her life overnight. Years later, repressed childhood trauma began to resurface, taking her into one of the darkest and most difficult chapters of her life.

But this conversation is not just about trauma.
It is about healing.
It is about reclaiming identity.
It is about giving shame back to where it truly belongs.
And it is about finding the courage to rebuild a life with purpose, light and meaning.

🌿 In this episode, Leanne shares:
✨ Her recovery journey after surviving a stroke
✨ How childhood trauma resurfaced later in life
✨ The role of EMDR, therapy and deep inner healing
✨ How Chiang Mai became a turning point in her transformation
✨ Why trauma does not have to become your identity
✨ How she now helps others through quantum healing, womb healing and spiritual transformation.

Leanne’s story is raw, brave and deeply inspiring. She speaks with honesty about pain, survival and the moment she realised it was finally her time to shine.

A beautiful reminder that even after life-shattering experiences, healing is possible.

Most businesses do not have a lead generation problem.
They have a follow-up problem.

In this episode of Find Your Voice, Cassandra Welford speaks with Francis Rodino, AI growth architect, author and founder of Lead Hero, about how service-led businesses can turn messy CRMs and manual sales processes into predictable revenue systems.

Francis explains why so many companies are leaving money on the table through slow response times, disconnected tech stacks and underused CRMs.
His approach is all about helping businesses move from:
Confusion to clarity
Antiquated to automated
Invisible to irresistible
One of the most powerful points from the conversation is the importance of speed to lead.

Francis shares how one client reduced lead response time to under 60 seconds and achieved 25 percent growth in four months, without simply spending more on ads.

This is a brilliant conversation for founders, CEOs, service business owners and sales teams who know they are generating enquiries, but also know too many opportunities are slipping through the cracks.

If you are using a CRM like a glorified contact list, this episode is well worth watching.

A huge thank you to Francis Rodino for sharing such valuable insight with our thought leadership community, and to Cassandra Welford for hosting another excellent episode of Find Your Voice 🎙️

Excited to share another brilliant episode of Find Your Voice, hosted by Cassandra Welford 🎙️
In this conversation, Cassandra speaks with James Goolnik - Dentist, founder of Optimal Dental Health in London, about the powerful connection between oral health and whole body health.

This is not your usual conversation about dentistry.
James explores how the mouth can reveal deeper signs linked to sleep, inflammation, sugar, stress, gut health, vitamin D, energy and long-term wellbeing.

His message is simple but important:
Your mouth is not separate from the rest of your body.
For anyone interested in holistic health, longevity, preventative dentistry or understanding how small lifestyle changes can transform your health, this is a fascinating and highly practical conversation.

A huge thank you to Dr James Goolnik for sharing such valuable insight with our thought leadership community.

🌟 Please join us in welcoming Nicola Anderson to the Podcast Guesting Pro thought leadership community! 🎙️

We’re delighted to be working with Nicola, founder of Capacity to Grow, and a powerful voice for scaling SME founders who have built their businesses for freedom, only to find themselves still trapped at the centre of every decision, problem and process.

That challenge has a name:
Founder dependency.

Nicola helps founders identify exactly where that dependency sits across their structure, team, systems, processes and decision-making, then works alongside them to fix it.

The result?
Founder freedom.

A business that can perform without the founder being the only answer in the room.

With 25 years of senior operational leadership inside real businesses, Nicola brings serious depth to this conversation.

She has managed £50m+ portfolios, led teams of 150+ people, and built her experience across construction, operations and the built environment.

What makes Nicola’s work so valuable is her ability to see the gap quickly and say what needs to be said clearly, directly and practically.
She helps founders look at the full picture:

✅ Leadership structure
✅ Team capability
✅ Decision ownership
✅ Operational visibility
✅ Systems and processes
✅ Automation opportunities
✅ Hiring needs
✅ Founder freedom

And where a genuine hiring need is identified, Nicola supports it through Recruit to Grow™, her structured fixed-fee recruitment service designed to ensure new hires reduce dependency rather than recreate it.

What really stood out in our conversation was Nicola’s clarity around the human reality of scaling a business.

Founders do not usually become the bottleneck because they are doing something wrong.

They become the bottleneck because the business has grown around them.
Nicola’s work helps them step back with confidence, create stronger teams, and finally build the flexibility, freedom and life they started the business for in the first place.

We’re excited to help Nicola share her expertise through podcast interviews and bring her message to more founders, business owners and leadership teams.

Welcome to the community, Nicola. We’re looking forward to seeing your voice, insights and experience reach an even wider audience. 🚀

As Nicola says:
“Freedom comes when you stop being the only answer in your business.”

🌟 Welcoming Leanne Sheargold to the Podcast Guesting Pro Thought Leadership Community 🌟

We are delighted to welcome Leanne, her story is one of extraordinary resilience, deep healing and powerful transformation.

After surviving a stroke at just 28 while raising three young sons, Leanne went on to rebuild her life, earn a teaching degree, and later face an even deeper personal reckoning when long-buried memories of childhood abuse resurfaced in her early fifties.

Her journey led her through mental health recovery, separation, profound self-discovery, and ultimately into a new chapter of purpose, healing and service.

Today, Leanne helps others through energy healing, quantum healing, Reiki, meditation, women’s circles, spiritual community work and grief support, including her monthly spiritual group and Death Café-style grief support gathering.

Her mission is deeply human:
✨ To show people that trauma does not have to become their identity
✨ To help women and men feel less alone in their healing journey
✨ To bring hope to those navigating grief, abuse, separation and emotional recovery.
✨ To open conversations around the role of energetic and spiritual healing alongside traditional support.

Leanne is also preparing to share her message more widely through her book and podcast appearances, helping others understand that even after life has completely fallen apart, it is possible to rebuild with courage, self-trust and a renewed sense of purpose.

We are honoured to support Leanne as she steps onto more podcasts globally and shares her wisdom, lived experience and healing work with people who truly need to hear it.

Welcome, Leanne. We are so excited to be part of your next chapter. 💛🎙️
