Welcome to "Focus on the Fun Stuff" the podcast where we dive into what it takes to focus on the things you love in your business and enjoy the journey.

We'll explore how to get more of those days where you're in the flow, loving what you're doing and using your unique abilities and passions.

Many business owners find themselves down in the weeds, overwhelmed, stuck at a certain revenue level, limited by team size, or constantly time-poor.


Often, it's a combination of all these challenges.


If you’ve ever looked at another successful, ambitious happy business owner and wondered ‘How did they do that?’

I’ve totally done the same thing.

And Focus on the fun Stuff explores how they did it.

  • How to Have the Hard Conversations You Keep Avoiding

    How to Have the Hard Conversations You Keep Avoiding

    The hard conversations you keep avoiding are costing you more than money. In this solo episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I unpack why business owners avoid difficult conversations - with team members, clients, and ourselves - and the four-step approach I now use to have them quickly.

    Inspired by Patrick Lencioni's The Motive, I talk through the shift from "reward-centred" to "responsibility-based" leadership, why most avoidance is a motivation problem rather than a skill problem, and the simple two-step test that tells you whether you're genuinely waiting for the right moment or just dodging the discomfort.

    ⏱️ In this episode:
    – Why the conversations you're not having drain your energy, focus and money
    – The Motive by Patrick Lencioni, and the one line that stopped me in my tracks
    – The two-step test: are you waiting, or avoiding?
    – My four steps for having the hard conversation — fast

  • Everyone Told Him Not To Do It. He Built a Global Empire Anyway

    Everyone Told Him Not To Do It. He Built a Global Empire Anyway

    Sacha Lord is the founder of Parklife Festival and The Warehouse Project — two of the UK's most successful live event brands, built over 30 years from a market stall in Liverpool.

    He served as Greater Manchester's Night-Time Economy Adviser, became a Sunday Times bestselling author, and helped shape Manchester's cultural landscape into what it is today. He is one of the most influential figures in UK hospitality and events. And it all started with selling leather jackets.

    In this episode, Sacha sits down with Emma to talk about what really happens when you stop listening to everyone telling you to play it safe. He opens up about anxiety, self-belief, and the mindset behind building iconic brands — as well as the mistakes, the leadership lessons, and the moment he knew it was time to let go.

    This is one of the most honest conversations Emma has had on the podcast. If you've ever doubted yourself, felt stuck, or wondered whether now is the right time to start something new this one's for you.

    Emma and Sacha cover:

    • How he went from market trader to building world-renowned events
    • Why most people give up too early — and how to push through
    • How to build teams you can genuinely trust
    • The leadership lessons behind scaling large organisations
    • How to know when it's time to exit a business
    • Why passion still matters, even at the top

    "If you've got a passion for something, don't listen to anybody. Just do it."

  • How to Win the Week: A Guide to Weekly Planning and Goal Setting

    How to Win the Week: A Guide to Weekly Planning and Goal Setting

    Feeling like your weeks are slipping by without real progress?

    That’s where I was for 10 years. Another Friday, another week of fighting fires at MiPA, no closer to my big picture goals, no longer enjoying the business I was running.

    Then four years ago, I found a way to change all that.

    In the latest episode of MiTV, I share that “Win the Week” philosophy that’s seen me completely revolutionise my life as a small business owner, grow my business, and enjoy my life a hell of a lot more.

    Give it a watch, and if you need support to create more time in your calendar and get progress happening faster, comment below and let’s have a chat.
