Talks With Toni - A podcast by Toni Gargan - Wednesdays
Toni interviews Chris Brown, a coach and entrepreneur, as he shares his personal and professional growth journey, discussing his background as a coach and his passion for helping individuals solve their problems. He also shares his current focus on masculinity-femininity dynamics and intimacy within relationships, specifically for business entrepreneurs who prioritise work over their personal lives. Chris reflects on his own transformation and emphasizes the importance of investing in personal development and seeking help. In addition, he stresses the need to identify the core strategies that propel business forward, without getting lost in the sea of available information. KEY TAKEAWAYS Chris emphasizes the importance of identifying the core problems in one's life or business and seeking help or guidance to address them. He believes in constantly evolving and expanding through coaching and personal development. Chris' unique ability is to take concepts, ideas, and teachings and simplify them into a sequence or syntax. He has been a coach since a young age and has a natural talent for mediating and providing advice. Chris' current focus is on intimacy, relationships, sexuality, and masculine-feminine dynamics. He aims to work with business entrepreneurs, especially men who sacrifice their personal relationships for business success. He believes that personal problems extend into business and should not be separated. Chris has invested heavily in personal development, spending around 20-30 thousand pounds per year on education. He believes that personal growth and acquiring new skills are essential for solving the biggest problems in his life and business. Chris has learned to detach from the need for recognition or appreciation in his coaching work. He has realized that his desire to help others was driven by co-dependency and is now focused on understanding himself better and breaking patterns that no longer serve him. He continues to seek therapy and coaching to unravel these patterns and grow personally. BEST MOMENTS "We all have a unique ability of whatever that is. And we all have a personal story, usually of pain or struggle that leads us to that unique ability." "I think naivety goes a long way when you start a business." "I'm a great practitioner, I'm a great coach, an amazing mind at what I do. When it comes to actually operations of a business, I'm actually better a layer up." "Every yes is a no somewhere else. And every no is a yes somewhere else." "I used a Facebook profile to grow a six-figure bootcamp outdoor with no overhead. My strategy was simple." HOST BIO Toni's journey defies the norm. Raised with a strong work ethic and a traditional career path in mind, she initially pursued a corporate job in HR after earning her degree. However, in 2015, everything changed when she attended a property training seminar. Little did she know that this event would ignite a profound passion for property investment. With her husband Chris, Toni raised millions in joint venture finance, creating a multi-million-pound property portfolio. But her story doesn't stop there. By the age of 33, she left her HR job behind to empower others in building their successful property businesses. Toni's passion for public speaking led her to become a world record holder. Beyond the accolades, she sees it as a calling to educate and inspire. Toni hosts training events and uses her "Talks with Toni" podcast to share insights, interview captivating guests, and motivate her audience.
