A very uplifting and practical conversation with the effervescent Shane Duff. Shane’s pro football career was prematurely ended through a freak injury, but he’s rebuilt himself as a successful property developer in Cheltenham. ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/🔸shane-duff-🔸-5ab59139/ )

Shane skilfully articulates why an abundance mindset isn’t reckless or fanciful and why optimism is generally more effective in achieving success than pessimism.

We also discuss the importance of facing the fear of failure (and trying in the face of it) and surrounding ourselves with encouraging people - even if that is in the form of books or podcasts.

We also chat about Steve Cotterill’s return as Cheltenham manager and Shane’s memories of ‘Cotts’ from his teenage days at the club.
