Gregory says, ‘Atlas Accessories got started because at 55 I decided I wanted to do something for myself’. It brings together his love of jewellery design, interest in meaning and symbolism and enjoyment of storytelling. In fact as soon as he’d got some of his designs made into ‘actual proper pieces of jewellery’ people were asking him where they could buy the bracelets.

The next stage was coming up with the name, Gregory says, ‘the whole concept behind the accessories is meaning and symbolism and the materials all have animal symbolism or stone symbolism… so I wanted the name of the company to embody that and the more I thought about it I had this dog called Atlas he was pretty much my best friend – the most important thing in my life and like in any culture they say if you call out the name of a divinity or an entity… it’s calling on that benevolence or that spirit in some way or that energy’.

Gregory talks about the importance of the leather and stones used in his jewellery and how they are great for storytelling. ‘By combining all these natural materials you can create symbolic meaning in the individual pieces and the reason that’s important I think it’s great for storytelling. Like when I meet someone, especially if I’m a little nervous, they usually ask about my bracelets and I can point to one and I can tell a little story that just tells a little bit about me and kind of how I view the world’. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 24th November at 12pm GMT.

Robert says, ‘I love getting to impact people’s lives and being able to share nuggets of gold and clues I’ve learned from travelling around the world and being able to train people’. He’s been lucky enough to travel around the world and taught over half a million students helping them to find out what their passion is and how it is achievable if they follow the ‘6 life changing habits’ which are ‘real, relevant and repeatable’.

Robert grew up in a close-minded society where he was told, ‘You don’t have to like what you’re doing. If it’s giving you security and it’s helping you earn money to take care of your family then you do that job whether it’s something you enjoy or not.’ However, after being laid off again and again he embraced personal development which he’d initially thought was too ‘woo woo’ but says, ‘I’ve been blown away by ‘woo’ things that have taken my life in a totally new direction’.

Robert is clear to point out that success doesn’t come without ‘practice practice practice’ and how important it is, ‘that you surround yourself with growth minded people being willing to be vulnerable enough to say you know what I don’t know this or I’m not the best at it who do I know who could assist me on it and be willing to ask for them help’. The interview is full of nuggets of wisdom so make sure you don’t miss it. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 17th November at 3pm GMT.

Jennifer is a financial wellness expert who started out helping people with their retirement plans. What she realised was that people struggled with it because, ‘they didn’t have the money management today to begin to focus on bigger things like not needing a job someday. She realised a more holistic approach was needed because, ‘It’s hard to be well, to be happy and healthy if you don’t have a good sense of your finances and a good balance in them’.

After financial troubles hit the finance company where she worked, she was left feeling frustrated but soon realised how lucky she was. ‘And in that moment of frustration, I was able to tell myself focus on whatever’s important to you like be happy find your happiness – don’t worry about the money it’s there and that was such a gift and I realised very few people likely would have that same sentiment and that was a gift that I could give other people this habit that just came naturally to me’. It also helps that Jennifer is very approachable and enjoys a more collaborative approach that allows her to help a broad spectrum of people from refugees to financial experts.

She has one piece of advice for all of us start talking about money with your children, your partner, your friends, your work. ‘if you can build up the courage to face your numbers yourself and to start having those conversations not only will you improve your own life but you’ll improve the lives of everyone around you’. And… if you’re thinking of getting married make sure you ‘marry carefully’ and have those uncomfortable chats about money and spending habits early on. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 10th November at 2pm GMT.
