Ep.61 A Masterclass In Defying Stereotypes: How Jordan Brompton Built A Nine-Figure Green Energy Empire

Ep. 61

Jordan Brompton is the Co-Founder of myenergi, one of the world’s fastest-growing renewable energy technology companies. Building a nine figure green energy company with 400 staff, it’s safe to say myenergi is turning heads in the renewable tech space. The company’s huge success started with the invention of the Zappi-charger, the world’s first solar charger for electric vehicles capable of using 100% renewable energy. It began as an idea over a bottle of wine with her business partner, and now drives tens of millions of sales each year.


However, myenergi’s journey hasn’t always been plain sailing. I wanted to sit down with Jordan to get to the bottom of what it’s really like running an energy company as a woman. We discuss how she has scaled the business herself, the obstacles she faces on a daily basis, and why it’s important to learn your weaknesses, as well as your strengths. Now myenergi’s CMO, Jordan gives a realistic view into the whirlwind of being on the front line of a startup in an often tumultuous industry. I am so excited to share this episode with you!

  • 123. Ep. 123 How To Curate A Career You Love By Taking Every Opportunity With Irene Agbontaen

    01:06:23||Ep. 123
    Irene Agbontaen is a someone whose career is defined by being the change she wanted to see. Back in 2018, she was becoming increasingly frustrated at the lack of clothes on the market for taller women, so she took matters into her own hands and founded TTYA, which stands for Taller Than Your Average. The brand saw monumental success, however, since then, she's curated a multifaceted career for herself just by saying yes.Download Revolut using this link, spend, and get £20: https://get.revolut.com/E528/gracebeverleypod+IRENEIG: https://www.instagram.com/irenettya/?hl=en+CHAPTERS0:00 introduction1:39 Her childhood & aspirations10:15 Having a picture of what you want to do12:14 How she got her first big break19:49 Hustling to get her brand off the ground27:12 Getting her first order from selfridges29:19 True hustle & running club nights34:34 The biggest challenges she faced42:17 How to turn everything into an opportunity50:00 Not changing yourself to fit a career56:20 Buying 2 properties & how she did it+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

  • 122. Ep. 122 How To Get Rid of Self Doubt & Achieve Your Dreams With Maya Raichoora

    57:30||Ep. 122
    We’ve done rebranding (planning for 2025), we’ve done discipline (actually sticking to your routine), and so the third and final part of the new year mini series is all about getting yourself in the right mental state to be able to achieve those new shiny goals you set for yourself.I discovered Maya a few months ago, and loved her approach to mental fitness as something we actually work on & train, compared to just talking about our ‘mental health’ as something we all have. So this episode is essentially a free session with a renowned brain coach, we did guided visualisations (permission to lol at my meditation face), she taught me how to mentally rehearse like Venus Williams & also said the best advice quote I think we’ve ever had in 122 episodes, hope you love it! +Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/E528/gracebeverleypod+MAYAIG: https://www.instagram.com/maya.mental.fitness/?hl=enWebsite: https://mayaraichoora.com/Visualise: Think, Feel, Perform Like the Top 1% by Maya Raichoora is published by Rider (Penguin Random House) on 27 March.+CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction3:49: Working Hard or Hardly Working?4:48: The diagnosis that changed her life aged 1510:05: How much her healing journey was her mindset13:47: The difference between mental health & mental fitness18:56: The pillars of mental fitness20:55: Why training our brain gets harder after 2522:33: How to implement it into your life24:57: The basics of visualisation27:30: Showing the power of visualisation31:25: The difference between visualisation & overthinking24:27: The second arrow parable35:56: Controlling your emotions when you're exhausted42:27: How long does it take to build confidence44:20: How to stop falling back into your old routines46:31: How to stop using your past as validation49:02: How to communicate your growth to others55:33: The best advice she's ever been given+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

  • 121. Ep. 121 How To Build True Discipline & Stay Consistent (& Why Motivation Is A Myth!)

    24:08||Ep. 121
    Discipline is a weird one isn't it, the discourse is so massively dominated by podcast bros telling you to dig in, and when I googled 'books on discipline', I could barely find one by a woman.But it’s something should still speak about (even if it makes us seem podcast bro), because when we learn to harness it its hugely powerful, and actually sticking to a routine is so so much more important than creating one. The fact of the matter is that discipline is what actually keeps you going towards your goals when your new year's resolutions are crumpled in the bottom of your handbag.  If you missed the first part of our new years series with Roxie Nafousi, you can listen here: https://shows.acast.com/working-hard-hardly-working/episodes/ep-120-how-to-rebrand-your-life-in-2025-with-roxie-nafousi+Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+CHAPTERS0:00 Intro3:14 The Context, what is discipline?6:35 The Data10:23 The Theories, how does it work?18:00 Putting it into practice+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Today, we’re doing something we have NEVER done before on the podcast - we’re making history by having a returning guest.

    The first 1000 listeners can use code WORKINGHARD for 50% off The Productivity Method digital planner: https://productivitymethod.com/pages/digital-plannerAs we near the end of the year, my planning mode kicks into high gear, red lights start flashing in my head & I get very anxious if I’m more than a metre away for a planner. On a serious note though, facing 365 days all at once can feel overwhelming, but I truly believe that breaking it down makes it manageable—and honestly, pretty exciting. I’m not one for the whole "new year, new me" thing, but I do love the opportunity a new year brings to reset, realign, plan exciting moments and set achievable goals.I did a video last year all about how to plan for 2024, and it was one of our most popular to date. So I thought I’d do an updated one including everything I’ve learnt about planning this year & how I use AI to help me!So, grab your favorite matcha, coffee or tea, and let’s dive into creating our best year yet for 2025 (and beyond)!+Download Revolut with my link, spend, and get £20 (End date and T&Cs apply) https://get.revolut.com/e9Jc/gracebeverleypod+CHAPTERS0:00 Introduction1:27 The pep talk you need to hear4:17 Step 1: Reflection6:17 Step 2: Knowing here you are going8:32 Step 3: Goal setting10:53 Step 4: Habit tracking13:30 Step 5: Staying consistent+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Jade Holland Cooper founded Holland Cooper in 2008 with the ambition to bring luxurious British heritage to a modern audience. What began as a small collection of tailored tweed clothing that she sold on a stand at horse shows, has grown into a global brand that now turns over £40m a year. I wanted this episode to be a deep dive into her journey—how she went from country fairs to building an empire, the key inflection points, and what it is about her that’s given her such a mindset for success & viral product creation.
