Ryan Stirton — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 16:47:28 +0100

This weeks episode brings client Keiran McLean on. Keiran is one part of DJ pairing "Kimmic"

Keiran talks about how his "overnight success" was actually a 10 year grind. "Never Miss A Beat" got millions of listens all over the world and put Kimmic on the map but keiran spent years djing in local pubs and clubs local to angus before they made it onto the circuit.

He talks about how he set up a meal prep business in Covid.

They now tour the world and play some of the biggest events in the world. They just played the creamfields main stage last month which is absolutely massive for any DJ.

It's amazing to watch someone local do so well after years of persevering through tough times and lack of major success.

I sit down with ex footballer and founder Steven Robb in his Dundee Bee Inspired store in the overgate to discuss a career that spanned over 200 games in the professional leagues in Scotland playing for Dundee, Dundee Utd & St Mirren + a few more. He made a move to the Thai Premier League and from there a career in football was coming to an end and a career in selling clothing truly began.

Bee Inspired went from a bedroom brand to a global brand selling over 1 million garments worldwide and making over 75 million in sales. Footballers such as Luis Suarez, Richarlison, Phil Coutihno and Messi have been seen wearing the brand.

This was such an interesting chat for me personally learning from people like Steven about building a brand.

How he got into fitness through a career in the RAF, working in the middle east and europe.

Why he decided to take on an "Iron Man" during lockdown and all the challenges that came along with that.

We talk podcasts, and how he got the inventor of the barbell hip thrust "Bret Contreras" on his pod after a simple DM. For context this guy has over a million followers and runs a multi-million pound company.

We also talk about how to stop believing that your life should run to someone else's script. Live the way you want to live, and stop believing the narrative that society tries to create for you.

This was one of the best pods yet and is an hour of lessons and takeaways anyone can learn from.
