Most professionals don’t need more hours in the day—they need better systems.

In this episode of MarketPulse: Pros and Pioneers, we sit down with productivity coach and speaker Hayley Watts, whose work has transformed how teams and individuals overcome overwhelm and make meetings meaningful again. With a background in charity leadership and high-stress work environments, Hayley understands burnout firsthand—and she's here to share how she turned that chaos into clarity.

You’ll learn what’s really causing your stress (spoiler: it’s not your inbox), why most meetings are a waste of time, and how to take control of your calendar with confidence. Hayley breaks down simple mindset shifts and actionable strategies to help you feel more in control of your day. If you're constantly chasing your to-do list but never catching it, this episode is for you.

We also dive into how work cultures can evolve, the unseen costs of poor collaboration, and how asking better questions could unlock better performance across your team.

Watch now, and walk away with real tools to reclaim your time and protect your energy.

What happens when the career you’ve built your identity on... just stops feeling right?

Willie Nicol spent over 30 years in policing, moved into corporate security, and found himself completely lost after an unexpected redundancy. In this episode of MarketPulse: Pros & Pioneers, Willie gets brutally honest about what burnout looks like, how he lost his “mojo,” and why helping men reset their mindset has become his mission.

We talk about how his background in Special Branch helped shape his coaching style, how his wife gave him the nudge he needed to take the leap, and why he’s allergic to “psychobabble.” Willie’s straight-talking, structured, 90-day framework for personal growth has helped dozens of men move from stuck to strong.

You’ll hear client wins, practical advice, and why sometimes your biggest breakthrough comes after everything falls apart. If you’re feeling unmotivated, disconnected, or just tired of pretending you’re fine, this conversation is for you.

How do your customers actually make decisions? This week’s guest, Babs Crane, says the answer isn’t in your product—it’s in behavioural science.

In this episode of MarketPulse: Pros & Pioneers, Babs shares how she went from a high-performing sales career to launching a behavioural design consultancy that helps businesses apply cognitive psychology to win customers the right way. With insights drawn from nudge theory, consumer ethics, and decision science, she breaks down why most businesses still sell based on assumptions—and how to stop guessing what your audience really wants.

We explore why women in sales are under-celebrated, how to build ethical user journeys, and the real psychology behind unsubscribing, buyer reactance, and attention spans. Babs offers a sharp, often surprising breakdown of how small changes in presentation, prompts, and messaging can radically alter customer behaviour.

This episode is essential for founders, marketers, and consultants who want to use science—not superstition—to drive results.

In this episode of MarketPulse: Pros & Pioneers, we sit down with Seyam Hamed, a 24-year-old entrepreneur who went from tutoring in local libraries at age 16 to building a global online tutoring brand alongside his sister. Seyam shares his extraordinary journey from the traditional expectations of an academic path in physics at Durham University to dropping out and pursuing a purpose-driven mission in education.

Seyam opens up about how a single chance opportunity tutoring a student in Azerbaijan reshaped his business trajectory, launching him into the world of British expat tutoring across five continents. Discover how this young founder identified a high-demand niche and leveraged it into a thriving enterprise, offering structure and stability to students transitioning between curriculums.

We explore the personal and professional tensions behind his decision to leave university, what it's really like to work closely with family, and how he's maintained quality, consistency, and cultural awareness at scale. Seyam also reflects on expat living, the real lessons COVID taught him, and how the challenges of tutoring across time zones turned into an operational advantage.

If you're interested in entrepreneurship, education, or building a values-led business, this episode is packed with insights, reflections, and sharp advice from someone walking the walk—not just talking it.

What if your business problems weren’t really about your business at all—but about you? In this episode of MarketPulse: Pros & Pioneers, we sit down with Mark Musselman, a leadership veteran and founder of MX5 Consulting, who’s helped steer multimillion-dollar companies and now works with CEOs to navigate their greatest personal and professional hurdles. He shares the hard-earned lessons from running $30M+ organisations, including the moment he had to take his own family business through bankruptcy—and how that shaped the no-nonsense leadership approach he teaches today.

Mark isn’t your typical coach. He’s lived the highs and lows of business firsthand and brings a refreshing, raw honesty to every conversation. From toxic positivity in the boardroom to social media facades, this episode peels back the curtain on what leaders are really thinking—and why most never talk about it. You’ll hear the kind of stories that rarely get shared, and insights that’ll make you rethink how you lead, manage, and show up for your team.

This episode explores the exponential impact of coaching, how to use AI without losing your human touch, and why vulnerability is your strongest asset in business. Mark also breaks down the myths around leadership, explains how to stay productive in a world built for distraction, and reveals what CEOs are really saying at home when no one’s watching.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just tired of the polished success stories, this one’s for you. Mark’s message is simple but powerful—your business isn’t the problem. You are. And that’s not a bad thing. It’s an invitation to lead better.

What do theatre and leadership have in common? According to Michael Allosso—everything. In this riveting episode of MarketPulse: Pros and Pioneers, we're joined by one of the world’s most dynamic speakers and leadership coaches. Michael has spent decades helping business leaders show up with presence, power, and authenticity using a surprisingly theatrical toolkit.

From humble beginnings as a high school drama teacher to coaching Fortune 500 CEOs, Michael shares the unusual trajectory that shaped his approach. His transformative method, “You On Your Best Day,” draws directly from the world of theatre and improvisation—teaching leaders how to heighten the stakes and captivate their audiences. It’s not fluff. It’s raw, real, and backed by years of success on stages both literal and metaphorical.

We dive deep into how personal branding goes way beyond social media, why authenticity is often misunderstood, and how improvisational thinking could be the game-changer your business needs. Michael also opens up about his own journey—from personal loss to career pivots—and what it really means to lead with intention every single day.

If you’ve ever felt like leadership should be more human, more creative, and way less robotic, this is the episode for you. Buckle up. You're about to find out how drama, done right, can elevate every aspect of business and life.
