This episode was released on Blue Monday. Apparently the most depressing day of the year!
Alex Hughes is determined to do something about that. In fact if you're listening to this on January 17th, once you've heard this episode head straight to @shifties on social media for his 24hr "Speak Up Liveathon" raising awareness for the importance of speaking up for mental health.
Alex is an entrepreneur who along with his own highly successful businesses now mentors and inspires others to launch their own businesses, but his journey was anything but straightforward.
Find out why he was written off by his school teachers at 14 and how, far from becoming the victim he was driven to find his purpose and prove those people wrong.
We also discover who his hero is, we blow the myth that is 'coachspiracy' and what the 90 Day Rule is all about.
