Welcome back to The Human Mix.

This week, Nick & Lydia are joined by Meeta Darji, an award-winning speaker and mindset expert, for an honest and fascinating conversation about money mindset, emotional resilience, and the power of EFT tapping.

Together, they explore how the beliefs we pick up in childhood can shape the way we spend, save, earn, and think about money as adults. Lydia also shares her own experiences of the emotional pressure that can come with bank balances, invoicing, and being self-employed.

Meeta explains how EFT, also known as tapping, can help calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and uncover the beliefs sitting underneath fear and self-doubt. She shares the personal story that led her to discover tapping after a serious car accident, panic attacks, and PTSD, and how just one session changed the way she responded to driving.

The conversation also looks at women and money, workplace wellbeing, emotional intelligence, and why resilience isn't something we're simply born with. It's a skill that can be developed and strengthened every day.

There's even a chance to try a simple money-focused tapping exercise during the episode, exploring how our bodies can respond differently to financial situations when we learn to regulate our emotions.

If you've ever felt anxious about money, struggled with self-doubt, or found yourself carrying stress in your body, this episode offers a fresh perspective on understanding yourself, calming your nervous system, and building greater confidence.

Welcome back to The Human Mix.

This week, Nick & Lydia are joined by Dan Kenary, co-founder of Harpoon Brewery, for an inspiring conversation about building a business that stands the test of time without losing sight of the people who make it possible.

Dan shares how a passion for European beer culture inspired the creation of Harpoon Brewery and reflects on the highs, lows, and lessons learned from growing one of America's pioneering craft breweries. From overcoming industry challenges and fierce competition to navigating economic uncertainty, he offers an honest look at what it really takes to build a lasting business.

The conversation explores the importance of company culture, community, and leading with strong values. Dan explains why treating people well, investing in your team, and staying true to your purpose are just as important as commercial success. He also opens up about succession planning, balancing work and family life, and the legacy he hopes to leave behind.

Packed with practical business insights, inspiring stories, and timeless leadership lessons, this episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone passionate about building something that truly matters.

Welcome back to The Human Mix.

This week, Nick & Lydia are joined by Jon Hendry Pickup, CEO of Butlins, for a thoughtful conversation about leadership, self-awareness, and what success really looks like as your career evolves.

Together, they explore why our greatest strengths can become our biggest weaknesses when we're under pressure and how understanding your natural behaviours can make you a better leader, colleague, and person. Jon shares how strength profiling has shaped his approach to leadership, why stress often pushes us back into familiar habits, and the importance of recognising when a strength has been overplayed.

The conversation also looks beyond the traditional career ladder, exploring why fulfilment isn't always found in the next promotion. Jon reflects on choosing work that aligns with your values, the freedom that comes from no longer comparing yourself to others, and why purpose, impact, and enjoyment have become more important than status.

Packed with practical leadership lessons, honest reflections, and valuable insights into navigating pressure, purpose, and personal growth, this episode is for anyone looking to build a career that feels successful, not just looks successful.
