Why should we be creating more than we consume?

Aaron Knightley is a self-educated entrepreneur business owner, podcast host, Amazon author, event host, speaker, content creator and family man. Having rapidly grown his social media presence and built multiple revenue streams from his content, he believes the key is to create more than you consume, so I thought I’d find out what he means by this.

Aaron came from a lower working-class background with very little whilst growing up, no formal educational qualifications and at one point heading down the wrong path. Today, he's collaborating with some of the UK's most successful business leaders, scaling Peak Performance Events, one of the fastest-growing event companies in the country, and launching new ventures, including a consulting firm and educational platforms like The Breakout Programme and the TikTok Growth Programme.

Aaron has grown his TikTok account organically to over 440K followers in just 27 months, amassing over 350 million views. On YouTube, he’s got more than 11.8 million views, and across all platforms, his content has surpassed 100 million views.

We chat about how Aaron diminishes the anxiety of worrying about what other people think, as well as how he has grown his profile so rapidly through using TikTok. He shares how he gets paid for his content and why he thinks everyone needs to be on TikTok right now.

How does body language affect the way people perceive us?

In this episode, Carole Railton, a renowned Body Language Specialist, joins me to explore how our body language shapes the way others perceive us.

Carole started her career working for IBM. On her mother's death bed, she found out that she had a half-sister. In that moment she vowed never to be lied to again and began researching body language. She now works as a global body language consultant, speaker and executive coach, with international organisations and business leaders, showing them how to communicate with greater clarity and impact using modern body language behaviours.

She has authored 3 books, The Future of Body Language, A Useful Guide to Personal Branding, and most recently co-authored SeniorITy; a book on AI for seniors. She appears regularly in international media and writes for National Press both in the UK & Australia.

We explore how we interpret body language, share tips to enhance your nonverbal communication for a more engaged presence, and offer advice on projecting confidence in a variety of situations.

Who else to ask other than on-pitch skipper of Newcastle United women’s team, Amber-Keegan Stobbs. Amber-Keegan, whose first name is a product of her father's love for Newcastle United legend Kevin Keegan, is a lifelong fan of the club and arrived in the North East in the summer of 2023.
