The Self Esteem Regime - a conversation with author Clarissa Burt  

At the time of recording Darryl Bates-Brownsword [https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrylbates-brownsword/?originalSubdomain=uk] was the managing partner at Succession Plus [https://www.succession.plus/en-au/] UK. He is now Chief Growth Officer at Fabric [https://thefabric.uk/], a consultancy that specialises in helping founders maximising the value of their business on exit.

In this episode of the Abeceder [https://www.abeceder.co.uk/] podcast The Independent Minds, Darryl explains to host Michael Millward that we cannot expect employees to spend their entire career in our business. People leave work for all sorts of reasons.

In July 2025 C.J. Shaman [https://www.instagram.com/c.j._shaman/] was described by the Wall Street Times [https://wallstreettimes.com/c-j-shaman-the-rock-outlaw-ready-to-ignite-the-music-scene/] as The Rock Outlaw Ready to Ignite the Music Scene.

Journalist Nic Abelian described C.J. as being from the windswept deserts of Arizona to the neon lights of Las Vegas, C.J. Shaman has carved a path as a dynamic rock artist who fuses the raw energy of country rhythms with the electrifying pulse of rock ‘n’ roll.

In this episode of the Abeceder [https://www.abeceder.co.uk/] work life balance podcast Rest and Recreation C.J. Shaman discusses with host Michael Millward [https://www.linkedin.com/in/abecedermichaelmillward/].

· His musical influences from discovering Elvis and Johnny Cash in his parents record collection to the punk rock and heavy metal of his elder brother’s collection.

 * The inspiration for his latest album El Diablo del Ocho [https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=cj+shaman&refig=689e596a5a584ce8af437ef9d33f2393&pc=U531&ru=%2fsearch%3fq%3dcj%2bshaman%26form%3dANSPH1%26refig%3d689e596a5a584ce8af437ef9d33f2393%26pc%3dU531&mmscn=vwrc&mid=614B72292DAB4F7EB35D614B72292DAB4F7EB35D&FORM=WRVORC&ntb=1&msockid=a7cbf51f795811f0b8a3fc49af633496]
 * How he spends his free time
 * The role of music as a unifier of all people

During their conversation Michael and C.J. discuss C.J’s cover of the Ricky Martin hit, Living la Vida Loca [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZgT7hE0Cdg]

Many music industry experts see C.J. Shaman as being on the verge of the big time. As a result, you might reasonably expect a guarded conversation. On the contrary C.J. Shaman provides an authentic insight in to the man behind the artist.

It is only when he talks about what will come next that C.J. keeps his cards close to his chest. There will be exciting things to come.

Using straight-forward examples Tripp explains why some people can build muscular physiques whilst other people can spend more time in the gym but never see a change.

This genetic foundation of our health and fitness explains Tripp is the reason why we should never compare ourselves to others in the gym or at the doctor’s surgery.

Genetics are says Tripp the reason why every health and fitness plan should be as unique as the person who will follow the plan.

Michael and Tripp explore various issues around health and fitness management and how what we mean by being fit and body image has changed over the last 100 years.

 * Ideas of what you can do to enjoy life away from work

Rest and Recreation

On the Independent Minds, podcast, you will meet independent thought leaders and learn about the ideas they have developed to help employers and their employees address the challenges that organisations of any type or size, in any location have must address if they are to achieve their business objectives and attain sustainable growth.



You will be able to read more about all of the independent minds thought leaders on the Work Place Learning Centre blog.



The independent minds thought leaders will be based all over the world. Some will discuss a new way of doing, whilst others will be discussing new ways of thinking. Each will have a practical solution which you will be able to access at Work Place Learning Centre.co.uk.



Independent minds solutions are also available as part of Abeceder H2R the comprehensive  employee management solution that covers every aspect of every stage of the employer employee relationship from hiring to retiring.

Work Work Work Works the four works

This is how Fit For My Age started. I was, and still am a middle-aged man who seemed to have all of the bad things that can happen to a man of my age, happen to me in a very short space of time. Or at least it felt like it!

I am sure that I am not alone in having a wake-up call type of experience. If we are lucky it happens to every man and every woman. I decided to heed the call and improve my lifestyle.

Fit For My Age is a record of my attempts to learn the things that I wish I had known earlier in life. The sort of things that may have helped me avoid or better manage the ageing process. So, I might sound as if I am saying, I wish I’d known then what I know now!

Mine will not be the only voice that you hear. I will be talking to a wide range of experts and may even be able to persuade some of the personal trainers that I have worked with to join me every so often.

What I do hope is that by sharing the knowledge I gain and the experiences that I have had you will also discover ways in which you can improve your physical health and your mental wellbeing.

You never know, a little knowledge may mean that we can, regardless of our age, all be able to say that we are Fit For My Age!

Please contact me with any questions, feedback, or content suggestions via the FitForMyAge.com website.

Thank you.
