Lexie Barker isn't your average marketing coach she's an AI whisperer on a MISSION to make all this tech stuff feel way less scary and actually useful for small business owners! As a solo mom of FOUR (yes, with twins!), she totally gets the whole "I need more hours in my day" struggle.

In this episode, we get messy real quick talking about neurodiversity, ADHD discoveries, and that whole "am I a grown-up yet?" feeling we ALL have sometimes. We trade stories about their AI adventures from using Claude to plan meals based on macros to getting AI to handle spreadsheet formulas that would normally take FOREVER.

Lexie drops serious wisdom bombs about why working with socially conscious businesses matters to her and how she helps heart-led entrepreneurs create content that actually sounds like THEM, not some robot. She's all about making your marketing simpler, smarter, and sustainable without sacrificing your unique voice.

We laugh about passport control AI replacing humans, debate which AI tools rock the hardest, and tackle the burning question: "Has AI actually given you more free time?" (Spoiler: Lexie's answer might surprise you!)

Whether you're totally intimidated by AI or already experimenting with it, this episode will change how you think about using these tools in your business. Lexie shares her approach to "Social for Creatives" and gives a sneak peek into her new program "Rise: Aligned Intelligence" where AI works WITH your intuition, not against it!

Don't miss this energy-packed conversation that'll have you rethinking how technology can actually help you show up more authentically online!

Ashley Leeds, known as "the 15-minute guy" who remarkably ranks higher than fitness guru Joe Wicks on Google! Ashley shares his extraordinary journey from casual lockdown guitarist to LinkedIn expert, bestselling author, and international speaker.

Ashley reveals how his 15-minute daily LinkedIn strategy has transformed countless businesses and why consistency beats perfection when building your personal brand. He takes us through his remarkable story of playing guitar for 100 consecutive days during lockdown, which unexpectedly led to being named a "Lockdown Legend" by his local museum and opened doors to new opportunities.

The heart of our conversation centres around Ashley's incredible 24-hour musical fundraiser that raised over £16,000 for Young Lives vs Cancer. With just three weeks to prepare, Ashley organised 96 musicians to perform in 15-minute slots on Zoom, culminating in an emotional finale that included a surprise anonymous £1,800 donation that helped them reach their target. This experience gave Ashley the confidence to transition from employment to entrepreneurship after 30 years of working for others.

Ashley's journey from chef to sales professional to running his own successful business demonstrates how small, consistent actions can lead to extraordinary results. His practical advice on focusing on one social platform rather than spreading yourself thin resonates throughout our conversation. As he puts it, "My mantra is, once a week on LinkedIn is better than 95% of people on the platform" and "When you love something, it's so much easier, isn't it?"

Looking for LinkedIn guidance? Ashley is all over LinkedIn! Google "the 15-minute guy" to find him instantly. Ashley offers one-on-one coaching programs that transform LinkedIn-shy individuals into confident users who love the platform, and his book provides 101 content ideas for those struggling with what to post.

Brutally honest and refreshingly real, this conversation with marketing expert Jenny strips away the facade of work-life balance to reveal what juggling a career and family actually looks like.

Bloody hell, this one's a proper eye-opener! As a mum of three kids (two autistic) with three rescue dogs and a thriving marketing career, Jenny's home is what she unashamedly describes as "an absolute madhouse" where few visitors dare return for a second time.

The raw glimpse into school holiday survival had us in stitches about midnight egg decorating panic sessions, the relentless barrage of "bring a pound" requests, and the inevitable communication cock-ups that leave meticulously crafted school projects abandoned behind curtains or forgotten entirely.

Jenny's brutally honest admission that "having it all is a load of bollocks, because something always has to give, usually my bloody sanity" slices through the typical parenting rubbish to offer something far more valuable permission to be a complete mess.

Beyond the parenting chaos, Jenny dishes out proper insights from her 20 years in marketing, chatting about how the field has transformed from traditional press releases to the social media circus and digital advertising. Her no-nonsense approach bangs on about authenticity and getting to the point, warning against "waffling on" in marketing communications and focusing instead on how businesses can actually help their audience without the corporate drivel. The similarities between straight-talking in marketing and no-bullshit parenting are dead obvious.

What comes through is a brilliant exploration of how one professional woman navigates the utter mayhem of family and career while hanging onto her sense of humour by her fingernails. Despite the chaos, Jenny scrapes together one-on-one time with each child during holidays, finding those precious moments of connection amid the absolute bedlam.

Whether you're a knackered parent trying to build a career or a professional hunting for marketing wisdom, this episode delivers both practical advice and the comforting reminder that we're all just winging it and that's perfectly alright, innit?

Have you ever wondered what happens when a 23-stone dude decides "Nah, I'm good" and transforms into an ultra-marathon-running, mindset-smashing legend?

Harry Purdy's story is raw with unfiltered truth.

From beer-guzzling lockdown lows to conquering 54K ultras, launching mind-blowing events, and having his day watch his keynote. (Yup, my eyes watered)

Harry's journey is a rollercoaster of mental health battles, physical triumphs, and enough "WTF" moments to fill a Yeovil Town stadium (I'm not sure if there is a stadium there but you get my gist).

We go deep into the messy, chaotic, and downright inspiring reality of chasing your potential, even when the world's screaming "sit down and shut up!"

From hitting rock bottom, finding your mirror prophecy (yes, you read that right), and flipping the bird to anyone who says you can't. 🖕 Plus, we're unpacking the mind-body connection, why your drill bit ain't about the drill bit, and how to turn those "proud dad" moments into rocket fuel for your soul.

Find Harry on the 100% podcast (everywhere podcasts are found) and on Instagram @HarryPurdyOfficial

Let's get messy!
