    RHP#180. Gareth Martin Monologues - Raising the Bar for Charlie Kirk
    Sep 26 2025

    If you’ve listened to the Podcast, you’ve heard me banging on about communication and why it’s the most important thing we need to get right in the world.

    I think that most issues stem from bad communication.

    I think that most issues can be resolved with good communication.

    The problem being, that the large majority of people don’t know how to communicate well.

    You don’t have to go far to even test this hypothesis of mine.

    • Think of the relationships in your own life, parents, partners, friends, kids - there is somebody that you always moan about because of the way they communicate, or perhaps their lack of communication.
    • Watch conversational news programs and you have guests talking over each other.
    • Listen to politicians speak and they never answer a question directly.

    What I admired about Charlie Kirk, was his willingness to debate, to be verbally attacked, to speak to dissenting voices, to reach across the aisle and political spectrum to better understand each other. He also had an air of confidence about him because he knew what values and morals he stood for.

    This week’s monologue Podcast will be a regular fortnightly occurrence going forward.

    RHP#178. Jeremy, Tax Minimisation and Structure Expert
    Aug 14 2025

    Tax is one of those subjects that still holds a bit of taboo when it comes to discussions with your buddies. We all know we are getting ripped, we just don’t want to admit it out loud, and so we just tolerate what these days seems like ‘daylight robbery.’

    Having spent the good part of 30 years on the road as a Nomad, Jeremy has acquired skills and knowledge that no university could ever teach you.

    He is an expert in achieving sovereignty and helping people maximise their lifestyles with more money in their back pocket.

    Jeremy’s expertise of services, include creating legal tax structures for tax optimisation, or in some scenarios paying zero tax on your earnings.

    Jerz's philosophy underscores that true freedom comes from strategic structures over mere relocation. He warns that lacking a plan is costlier than implementing one.

    His content offers expertise in fostering global independence, asset security and wealth preservation.

    RHP#176. Liz McConaghy, RAF Chinook Crew Chick and Motivational Speaker
    Jul 17 2025

    Liz McConaghy, is a special lady that has lived a unique life very unfamiliar to most.

    She joined the Royal Air Force on her 19th birthday and ended up as the longest serving female crewman on the RAF Chinook Fleet.

    At 21, she was the youngest aircrew to deploy to Iraq and was the only female crewman on the Chinook wing for 4 years.

    The toll of 2 deployments to Iraq and 10 deployments to Afghanistan, a messy divorce, and the isolation of Covid, came to a head in 2020 with Liz attempting to end her life.

    Liz has such a high relatability and likability factor because of her authenticity. Fascinating podcast to listen to!

    Discussion Topics: What you will discover from listening to this Podcast:

    • Joining RAF at 19 year old
    • Going to the Iraq War at 21 years old
    • What are military bases like in War?
    • Keeping yourself busy during War
    • How did men treat her in the Airforce
    • What can women learn from men
    • The topography of Iran and Afghanistan
    • Seeing the world from the sky
    • War life in Afghanistan
    • Strict rules of engagement in war
    • Assimilating back into civilian life
    • Link between physicality and mindset
    • The importance of failure

    Jul 3 2025
    Derek Notman is helping fix our relationship with money, using AI (and flip-flops!) He is also a Dad on a mission to help 1,000,000 other father’s. Together with a little help sprinkled in from his right hand man, Sir Richard Branson! Through his REBL Dad Group, he is helping Dad’s try to find the balance and integration of entrepreneurship and fatherhood. His parent’s nasty divorce, and estrangement from his father and siblings, have aspired him to be the best father he can possibly be. The responsibility of being a great father is not lost on him and he’s determined to break the cycle of past family behaviour. Derek is a legend of a man. It’s always an honour for me to speak to people putting their necks on the line to make the world a better place!

    Hannah Ward, is a special lady trying to tackle the American literacy crisis, with only 60% of American’s being able to read. She is a homeschooling mother and an English teacher who has taught students from preschool to university. She says that parents who read, should teach kids phonics and read out aloud together. As a child, she loved adapting books like Charlotte’s Web into accessible plays with American Sign Language, which sparked the bookworm in her and love for storytelling.
