About the show

Exploring the ideas that shape our lives. I've realised something over the last few years. The moments that have changed my life haven't usually come from someone giving me an answer. They've come from hearing one idea, one question or seeing one thing from a different perspective. That's what this podcast is. Every episode is a chance to think out loud about an idea I've been wrestling with. Sometimes we'll explore communication, leadership or performance. Other times we'll talk about identity, relationships, curiosity or the everyday moments that quietly shape our lives. I don't promise certainty. I do hope you'll leave with a new perspective. Thanks for thinking with me.

TAKE Your Opportunities & NEVER Give Up - Advice To Teenagers (Recorded Live)

Tommy G Talks - Episode 149: TAKE Your Opportunities & NEVER Give Up - Advice To Teenagers (Recorded Live) This episode is a recording of a live talk I delivered in front of 200x 15-17 year olds. I was asked to go in and deliver this talk to 5 different age groups at a local secondary school, as part of their careers day. It's always an honour to deliver talks like this, and I hope that you can take at least 1 thing away from this very honest and open presentation around taking opportunities, saying YES, challenging yourself and then being resilient enough to keep the journey alive. Don't give up on your dreams. TG
