I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Daniel Marsh, the passionate founder of Marsh Fidelity, as we dove into his world of deceased estate and fiduciary services. His personal story is one of loss and pain which has powerfully become his life's purpose. It is amazing to see how his passion is fuelled by his own life experiences. Daniel is a sharp, passionate and empathic human who cares deeply for the people he serves. Trust me, this conversation is one you won't want to miss!

[NEW EPISODE ALERT]

THE SECRET POWER OF BRANDING

Simon Grainger is a self proclaimed Brand Nerd and I think he is right. I love a good chat around branding and feel like i know a thing or two, but this guy! It was such a privilege to get to film a conversation with my new friend where we spoke about a bunch of things branding and brand related, customer experience, strategy and some practical advice along with a whole lot extra to think about.

This conversation was so much fun and I hope you enjoy it nearly as much as I have have producing it. Oh, and banana on pizza? We don't see eye to eye on that.

Big love,
Luke.

I often think about how these things that we label as disadvantages and set backs in our society can really help us and in some ways, turn into the super powers that help us become successful if we take the time to understand them. Craig's Story is such a great example of this - He really has inspired me in the way he has taken the time to understand himself and become self aware.
