    Episode 22 - Alex Brown - Lead with curiosity always..
    May 7 2026

    This week on the podcast, I sat down with Alex Brown to talk about what it really looks like to evolve, not just in business, but in identity.


    We got into her transition from being known as the “outreach/DM lady”… to building a brand that actually reflects who she is now.


    Her brand, Her Hustle, is all about helping women grow businesses that feel natural, aligned, and genuinely theirs, not forced.


    We spoke about:

    • Letting go of old identities that once worked
    • The discomfort that comes with being known for one thing… and becoming something new
    • And the biggest lessons she’s learned along the way


    If you’ve ever felt like you’ve outgrown the version of you people know you for, this one will hit.

    As per usual I'd love it, if you could send her your biggest takeaway.


    Much Love,


    Ben

    Apr 30 2026

    This week on Did You Earn It or Did You Learn It


    I sat down with Zane Utley, Royal Navy submarine veteran, private chef, and men’s health advocate.


    We dive into..


    • Running back-to-back marathons in Manchester & London


    • Life in the Navy and what it teaches you about pressure


    • Growing up, direction, and knowing what you want early


    • And some real conversations around mental health


    We do touch on suicide during this episode.


    This is an honest one.


    A young lad who knows exactly who he is, and isn’t afraid to go after it.


    If you’re feeling a bit lost, or just need a reset on what matters…


    This one’s worth your time.
