In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we meet Simon Tomkins of Simon Tomkins Coaching. Simon shares his founding story, detailing how a 14-month trip around the world provided the clarity and courage to leave his career behind and pursue his true passion for personal development. He discusses the pivotal decision to launch his coaching business at the start of the COVID pandemic, transforming a period of global uncertainty into an opportunity for personal and professional reinvention.

Simon delves into the core of his business model, which is dedicated to helping busy professionals and business owners achieve "work-life harmony," reduce stress, and avoid burnout through highly effective one-on-one coaching. He opens up about the challenges and strategies of scaling a personal brand, the intentional use of paid ads over organic social media for lead generation, and his future vision—which includes writing a book and hosting in-person retreats—all while maintaining the personal balance and alignment with values that he teaches his clients.
