How do you turn a string of spontaneous decisions - and even some tough health setbacks - into a thriving business and an impactful brand? This month, Anna welcomes public speaking pro Alex Merry, founder of the MicDrop community, for an open conversation about resilience, redefining success, and building a business that truly works for you.

Key takeaways:

• The Journey From Charity Fundraising to Thought LeadershipAlex shares his unexpected career twists, from football coaching and charity fundraising to hosting TEDx and founding Mic Drop, a community for aspiring and established thought leaders.
• Redefining Success After SetbacksHealth challenges forced Alex to re-evaluate his definition of success—he now prioritises health, meaningful impact, and contribution over external validation and grinding for growth.
• From Doing It All to Streamlining for ImpactAlex candidly discusses how hiring a business coach helped him simplify his services, focus on what brings most fulfilment, and structure his business (including stepping away from ‘being everything to everyone’).
• The Realities of Personal Branding and Fear of SuccessNavigating life in the public eye brings its own challenges, from handling viral attention to dealing with criticism and the unexpected ‘fear of success’ that can follow big wins.
• Building a Healthy, Sustainable RoutineAnna and Alex discuss setting boundaries, working with loved ones, integrating time off, and building in resilience so your business supports your lifestyle—not the other way around.
