Sponsoring people, not numbers - with Michelle McPhie

In this week's episode, I interview Michelle McPhee, a senior facilitator in the direct sales space with TAP (The Accountability Partners) in Canada, about team building and sponsoring in the network marketing industry. Michelle shared her personal journey from reluctantly starting in direct sales with her husband Neil to becoming a successful business leader and trainer, heading up the Canadian arm of some of the biggest names in the industry.

We discuss the importance of human connection in business, especially in today's technology-driven world, and emphasize the need to treat team members and customers as individuals rather than numbers. Michelle provides insights on effective team building through personalization, recognition, and understanding each team member's unique goals and strengths.

The conversation covers strategies for creating positive team culture, managing different levels of ambition within teams, and the importance of making people feel valued and important.

Michelle concluded by sharing a powerful quote about not missing opportunities to share business opportunities with others, emphasizing that it's selfish not to offer the chance when someone might benefit from it.

Reclaiming the power of choice - with Anita McKenna

In this episode, Anita and I chat about how making simple choices can change your outlook and fortunes in life and business. Anita shares her journey into discovering the power of choosing differently and I also share some of my personal journey through this too.

Anita McKenna works mainly with women who are brilliant at life - but exhausted by it.

For 15 years, she’s helped people see why they keep doing what’s expected rather than what they actually want, and what it takes to change that.

Drawing on her background in counselling and coaching, she blends therapeutic depth with practical support to help women move from a life that looks good on paper to one that actually fits who they are now.

Her work centres on one simple idea - less duty, more choice.

Trusting Your Intuition in Life and Business with Dani Devren

In this episode, Dani and I explore something many people talk about but often struggle to truly trust - intuition.

We talk about what it really means to listen to your inner guidance, especially when you’re making decisions in business or navigating change in life. Dani shares how her own path led her to build a business that feels aligned with who she is, and why learning to tune into your own inner authority can be more powerful than following outside opinions.

Throughout the conversation we look at the balance between logic and intuition, how fear and conditioning can block our ability to trust ourselves, and why taking responsibility for our choices is such an important part of personal growth.

Dani also shares practical ways to start reconnecting with your intuition, including slowing down, regulating your nervous system, and creating space to hear your own thoughts clearly.

We also touch on the idea of legacy - not something you leave behind one day, but something you create through the way you live and lead right now.

If you’ve ever second-guessed yourself, felt pulled in a direction you couldn’t quite explain, or wondered whether you should trust that inner voice, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

Dani also recommends the book The Vortex by Esther and Jerry Hicks for anyone curious about universal laws and manifestation.

Dani Devren is The Soul-Aligned Mentor, supporting women to prioritise self - whilst they build personal brands that feel like home. Blending psychology informed mentorship with spiritual mindset, identity and story-telling. Dani shares how Clarity, Calm & Confidence all starts within. Passionate about manifesting your dream life by living in alignment with your soul’s purpose and the Universal Laws, Dani mentors women in business through intimate experiences, workshops, retreats and her Mastermind : The Awakening.

This week, I’m joined by Stuart Ritchie, seasoned network marketer with Utility Warehouse. In this episode we get properly into what it actually takes to build long-term success in network marketing.

We talk about:

• Why he built a team from day one (even when he had no clue what he was doing)

• The mindset shift that changes everything when it comes to recruiting

• Why most “no’s” aren’t about you

• Network marketing without the ick (yes, we talked about cold DMs 😬)

• Systems, habits and why motivation is wildly overrated

• Confidence, mistakes and growing into the leader you become

Stuart shares openly about the wobble years, going bankrupt during the credit crunch, shaking on stage in the early days… and how personal development and simple, repeatable systems changed everything.

If you’ve ever:

• Doubted yourself

• Fallen out of routine

• Felt awkward about recruiting

• Wondered if you’re doing it “wrong”

This one’s for you. Go have a listen.

In this episode, I am joined by Helen Morris and Leanne Naylor from ND Accreditation for an honest and practical conversation about neurodiversity and network marketing. They share why neuro-inclusion matters, not just ethically, but commercially too, and how different brain types bring real value when environments are designed to support them.

Helen opens up about her lived experience with ADHD and dyslexia, the challenges she’s faced in traditional work settings, and her drive to make things easier for others walking a similar path. Leanne explains how their work is designed to support neurodiverse individuals and those working and living alongside them.

The conversation also explores why entrepreneurship and network marketing can be a powerful alternative to traditional employment for neurodivergent people. Together, we talk about adapting communication styles withing your downline, setting boundaries, managing energy and time, and learning to work with your brain rather than against it.

This episode is a must-listen for business owners, leaders, and network marketers who want to create more inclusive environments – and for anyone navigating business through a neurodivergent lens.
