I'm not sure this has been done on a podcast before!... But I do want to do this as couple of years back I asked a very talented gentleman to be the guest on my podcast.

I'm very grateful that he trusted me, although this was the very first recording, and gave me an amazing start to the Online Entrepreneur Academy Podcast.

And yes, I will go back and ask him to be a guest again, but for now, I'd like to re- broadcast this episode so that you, my audience, that has grown over the months can hear this first episode ...because let's face - it how often do people search through the back episodes!

Calvin Niles, I'm forever grateful for trusting me and coming on the show and for the wisdom you gave then still stands true.

In this episode, Calvin joined me to talk about his passion for storytelling

Calvin shares wisdom about storytelling, and in story form...This wide-ranging conversation will reassure and encourage you for your business.

Hear Calvin talk about playing to your strengths, having one social media presence per market segment, yet the wisdom of the multiple touch points on different platforms

Welcome to this episode! I’m thrilled to introduce, Dr. Mark Deeks – speaker, teacher, and performer with an incredible background spanning over 25 years in the music industry. And, a Heavy Metal aficionado, of course.

Mark has built a diverse and fascinating career, from delivering a TedX talk on the mental health benefits of heavy metal, to his choir work with BBC’s Gareth Malone. He’s also conducted the Royal Northern Sinfonia, led workplace-based musical projects focused on staff wellbeing, and even musical directed for Faye Tozer of Steps.

Mark’s versatility doesn’t end there – he’s given piano lessons to Lenny Henry (famous British comedian and actor) - worked with black metal bands like Winterfylleth, whom he joined. And even written symphonic versions of songs by metal stars Sonata Arctica.

But above all, Mark is passionate about the power of music to reduce stress and improve mental health. Whether through his keynote speaking, interactive workshops, or encouraging people to incorporate music into their daily lives, he’s dedicated to showing how music can be a game-changer for personal and professional wellbeing.

I thank Mark for joining my podcast, generously sharing his time.

Please note my introduction is based on Mark's own words from his website which you'll find here

NB. The conversation refers to his unique Musical Getaway experience in October 2025, on The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, Northumbria- which is now sold out. However... I'm sure there will be more. So bookmark the website details to keep up to date

Welcome, in this short solo episode I do a dive into working abroad and the plethora of opportunities.

I hope you find this both interesting and inspiring.

Now the detail :) I discuss the opportunities and experiences of working abroad, particularly for teachers and educators, drawing from my personal experience of moving to the United Arab Emirates.

I emphasize the importance of research and due diligence before making such a move and highlight the benefits of working abroad, including professional development and cultural immersion. I do encourage listeners to consider working abroad and offer my help and advice for more information. For us, it was a truly unforgettable experience.

Next Steps/Things to do

1. Exploring opportunities to work abroad as a teacher/educator, considering different countries and cultures, and doing our own research on the potential benefits and challenges.
2. Reaching out directly to schools or organizations in the countries we are interested in, rather than relying solely on agencies, to get a better understanding of the work environment and opportunities.
3. Consider adding to portfolios of work by creating our courses, lesson plans, or digital learning platforms, to diversify professional experience and potentially open up new career paths.

Today's conversational podcast episode was one of fun and laughter, and of course, touching some serious points.

I was delighted to host Aileen and Julie especially as they approach the week of the launch of their own podcast. Aileen talking to us from London and Julie from Melbourne, distance is no problem!!

This conversation will encourage you to travel, to reach out, to follow your passion and use your skills -that you may not know you have -in many different ways to suit your lifestyle and the stages of your life.

See the notes below as this amazing duo tell you what they do...

In their words:

We have been each other's sounding board, from opposite sides of the globe, for 8 years. We’ve navigated motherhood, relationships, menopause, health, financial difficulty and so much more. Our daily voice message exchanges were a life line. We now share that space with our listeners.

In You Keep Me Sane, Aileen and Julie will hold honest, uncensored conversations about anything and everything. They will lending an ear and giving unqualified advice. They allow each other, and you, to be human.

Today's podcast episode features Saif Maghrabi, who is back living in the UAE, having grown-up in Dubai.

Perhaps the biggest takeaway - for the solopreneur or entrepreneur - from this episode is not to give up when it seems that things are not going very well.

The conversation ranges from what could've been learnt at school to a determination to succeed, the discovery of mindset and entrepreneurial endeavours. We touched on some funny moments of entrepreneurialship at school and what can make maths interesting...

This is also an episode very much for the property investor as we learn about the market in the United Arab Emirates and the incredible possibilities that could be compared to opportunities that were taken in London and New York for example in the 70s. If you wish you'd had the chance to purchase in those cities a few years back then there may be an opportunity waiting for you here that you haven't considered yet!

An inspiring conversation from a younger person's perspective and wisdom beyond their years.

Once again grab a pen and paper make some notes and enjoy!

You can contact Saif below on the WhatsApp number, his email or via an Instagram message
