Ronsley Vaz is the Host and Executive Producer Psychology of Entrepreneurship podcast, he’s the founder of the award-winning digital marketing agency Must Amplify, which was the world’s first audio marketing agency and works with some of the world’s most recognisable brands and people.

Through his podcasts Psychology of Entrepreneurship, Should I start a podcast and Bond Appetite, he has been downloaded over 5 million times by people from 133 countries and his TED Talk has received tens of thousands of views on YouTube.

In 2015, Ronsley founded the first podcasting conference in the Southern Hemisphere, We Are Podcast, which is where we met, in 2016.

Since then, I’ve been to every single We Are Podcast conference, of which I think there’s been about 7 or 8.

It’s been interesting looking back at some of Ronsley’s stuff with the intention of interviewing him again because I realised just how much of an influence he’s had on my philosophies and mission.

I hope you enjoy my chat with Ronsley Vaz.

We look at three stories from history, which each give us a different clue into the factors which affect our perspective. 

We examine what these factors are and why they're important to consider in the pursuit of a broader perspective.

We consolidate many of the ideas that we've spoken about on the podcast so far and I give you my theory about personal and professional success. It can be summarised by the acronym PODCAST.

I take a deep dive into Muhammad Ali's life and story. We look at some of the most important events in his life and I make the argument using a passage from The Iliad that he was able to achieve as much as possible in a lifetime. 

If there's anyone who was able to get the best out of themselves in the service of others, it's Muhammad Ali and so he's a perfect person to be exploring his story.

We look at the figure who inspired arguably the biggest brand of all time to get some clues for our own branding. 

We also discuss the work of Simon Sinek, who gives us some clues as to how the biggest brands are built.

We unpack the difference between individualism and individuation and look to the world of sport for a guiding principle for how to avoid over-individualistic thinking.

Bruce Lee was once the cha-cha champion of Hong Kong. He used this dancing ability to improve as a fighter as his characteristic dynamic movement was influenced by his experience dancing.

This week, we look into how Bruce Lee was able to integrate such seemingly different fields to become one of the greatest martial artists of all time. 

we examine the process of construction and deconstruction, essential to being a teacher, not a preacher, and we begin to start looking at how we can make the deeper elements of our personality work in our favour. 

I look at the work of three of my favourite authors because I think they've all got clues as to how we learn quickly and speed up the process of skill acquisition.

In this episode, I explore the work of Malcolm Gladwell, Allen Gannett and Sean D'Souza, who all provide theories on how to master skills. 

To unify their ideas, I present my own theory as to how to learn the fastest way possible.
