Ep#118 | Changing The World with Golden Nuggets
Steven has promoted Britain’s biggest raves, written hit songs and owned a record label that sold millions of albums.
He's also fallen on his arse and had to clean toilets and sweep floors to keep his dream alive. It feels like a real-life game of Snakes and Ladders – He pushed his way into shows like The X Factor and managed hit artists. He travelled on Concorde, run marathons and cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats. He's been in business with Duncan Bannatyne, and stopped being in business with Duncan Bannatyne!
And now he's in the digital business.
But for all the many high points he also experienced more temporary failure than is good for one person. There have been many, many periods in which he made a complete hash of things when he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and flopped on the final furlong. He tripped on the finish line so often he questioned his own sanity.
If there was a lesson to be learned he lived it, studied it, absorbed it, taken it on board and then ignored it many times over – even when he thinks he understood it he had to go through it again a few times to really know what it means.
If there’s one thing he realised over the years it is that with every challenging life situation there is always the seed of opportunity and the hope of brilliance within it.

Changing The World with Golden Nuggets
Some great takeaways from Steven:
Everyone is going through challenges in their lives
Life whispers to you, are you listening?
Everybody and everything can teach you something
The answer is always no unless you ask the question
Let it go
Be in the moment
