  • Summary

  • Destined for Failure is a brand-new interview style format podcast, where guests from a variety of different backgrounds replay their life story. All our guests share one thing in common, at one point in their life, society would define them as having little to no chance of amounting to anything and destined for a life of failure. Despite these set backs and challenges, they have all worked through these adversities to find themselves on the road to success.

  • Destined for Failure with Gordon Deuchars
    Sep 12 2022

    In this episode we talk to Gordon Deuchars, MD of Quest Precision Engineering. Gordon is a hugely successful businessman and we talk about his life story, from humble beginnings growing up in Douglas in Dundee, through his childhood, education and onto starting his first business GA Engineering. 

    In this episode, there is one constant throughout- the clear importance of loyalty, customer service and how Gordons reputation is above all else. Gordon talks through how he worked through his toughest time- having to leave GA engineering, the business that he founded and built to multimillion £ turnover. 

    We also talk about his other key interests- football, and the impact that he has had in his local community with reinvestment into children and junior football.

    A great story of a serious business operator.

  • Destined For Failure with Rachel Coats
    Aug 30 2022

    Rachel Coats was just a normal young lady, when at the age of 26 she was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal breast cancer. For anyone to be delivered this news is devastating, but for someone at such a young age with her whole life ahead of her is unthinkable. 

    Rachel talks over the initial stages of her diagnosis and what this could mean for her life moving forward. Rachel has developed the mindset of tackling her diagnosis head on and has developed an inspiring positive attitude and a new found vision of her appreciation of life. Rachel has decided to use her diagnosis to raise awareness and funds for cancer charities such as CoppaFeel and Macmillan Cancer Support. 

    Rachel has now been living with the disease for nearly 10 years, surprising some of her consultants along the way.

    An incredibly motivating story of an individual who is determined to not let her diagnosis hold her back with her aspirations in life.
