Chief exec/co-founder of Leon, author of Winning not Fighting My guest in this final episode is like no-one in business I’ve ever come across before. As co-founder of the sustainable and naturally fast-food chain Leon, John Vincent MBE has been at the forefront of a movement to change the way we think about our food and where it comes from. In addition, he’s been part of a campaign to get schoolchildren eating better food, and more recently helped to feed a million front line NHS workers during the pandemic. But it's his book Winning not fighting: why you need to rethink success and how you achieve it with the ancient art of Wing Tsun that really prompted me to speak to him. In it, he draws on the ancient Chinese martial art of Wing Tsun to challenge some of the accepted norms that are preventing us from being truly happy, either at home or at work. “We tend to define success as something which we've achieved in the past, or something that we are striving for desiring for the future. So, ironically, the idea we have of success takes us way out of the only place that we can ever really live in, which is the present moment.” John’s own story is one that involves freeing himself from stress, chronic pain and the sustained fight or flight mode that our modern lives have created, by using the principles of Wing Tsun - a practice that speaks to the idea of living in an instinctive way, focusing on the unity that we share with each other and nature. I believe that what he has put together in Winning not Fighting is a practical handbook for uniting human wisdom, business and physical movement in a way that could truly bring about change. "I think that what we've done is we've, we've got caught ourselves up in a bit of a vicious cycle around feeding the side of us which is around ego and fear, as opposed to feeding the parts of us, which is about connection, love, and wholeness." It's a wide-ranging conversation: we talk about these practical steps, but also gut health, personality tests, and The Littlest Hobo - and I do hope you enjoy it.

<p><strong>Magazine editor, author, TV presenter</strong></p> <p>Speaking to Michelle Ogundehin this week was a real joy. Currently on our screens every week as a judge on the addictive Interior Design Masters series, Ogundehin’s calm, informed and direct style has always been a real pleasure to watch.</p> <p>But for me, it is in her recent book - <strong>Happy Inside</strong> - where she shares her most insightful wisdom. In Happy Inside, Michelle lays out a manifesto of how we can all live better by doing the small things well. She shows us how the everyday things we miss out on on a regular basis can have a disproportionate impact on our health and happiness, and how we should start sweating the small stuff.</p> <p>And she says that we should give ourselves permission to take the time to express a more authentic version of ourselves, in the place that matters most, at home.</p> <p>“We need a room of our own. We need space to retreat, and to rest and to be silent. And it doesn't have to be huge, but it’s understanding that we need this, the human species needs this - we need to retreat to the cave a little.”</p> <p>As an award-winning editor-in-chief of Elle Decoration, regularly included in the power list of influential black Britons, Michelle has an impressive CV, but, she says, it’s the point in her life where she truly accepted herself for who she was, that brought her the most happiness, and, yes, the most success.</p> <p>“Success actually is right there, it's right there in everyone's hand already, and it is just the power to go, you know what, I'm allowed to be me. And that's, that's enough. It's enough in all the messiness.”</p> <p>I found our conversation, very stimulating, very practical and very helpful. And I really hope you do too.</p>

<p>In this short episode, I follow on with another of the daily habits that have made a real difference to my life. </p> <p>In the past year of the pandemic, one feature of all our lives have been virtual meetings. </p> <p>We often find our working day filled up with a series of back-to-back Zoom meetings, sitting at home, fighting wi-fi speeds, family interruptions and face freezes. It can be hard to find time to pause, let alone feel present at each meeting. </p> <p>I used to feel the same about meetings, but since recording the second series of the podcast – which we also do via Zoom – I’ve adopted a simple practice that has made a world of difference.</p> <p>I’ll share that with you today and hope that it also gives you the chance to pause, reset and start the next portion of your day with your full attention. It’s something I’ve found to be really positive. </p> <p>Thank you again for listening today.</p>
