From Burnout to Breakthrough (ft. Roy Castleman)

In this episode of the podcast, Tom Griffiths sits down with Roy Castleman, founder of All the Power, to explore the intersection of business growth, personal resilience, and the transformative potential of technology. Roy shares his journey from arriving in the UK on a two-year work visa in 1997 to building multiple IT companies, acquiring the very first firm he worked for, and later expanding into adventure experiences like indoor skydiving and surfing. Along the way, he discusses the challenges, failures, and lessons that shaped his entrepreneurial path.Roy delves into the critical role of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) in structuring and scaling businesses efficiently. He explains the distinction between working in the business versus working on the business and highlights how adopting a business operating system allows owners to step back, regain control, and focus on strategic growth rather than day-to-day firefighting.The conversation also explores Roy’s personal journey with mental and physical resilience, including his experience with the Wim Hof Method of cold exposure and breathwork. He shares how these practices helped him navigate extreme stress, recover from injury, and regain clarity during moments of near burnout. Roy emphasizes that maintaining personal energy—both mental and physical—is essential for achieving sustainable business success.Finally, Roy explains how he now combines health and wellness strategies with AI tools and the EOS framework to support business owners. His approach helps clients reclaim time, improve their decision-making, and scale their companies effectively while preserving personal well-being. The discussion offers a rare glimpse into the mindset, systems, and daily routines that empower business owners to thrive in both life and work.For listeners looking to optimize their energy, harness AI, and grow their businesses with structure and clarity, this episode is packed with insights and actionable strategies.To Contact Roy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/roycastleman/

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes. MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes. What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change? Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in Leading From All Sides Abbie Mirata Discover the various styles of leadership, from leading at the forefront to steering from behind, rising to the top or empowering from the bottom. We'll explore horizontal and vertical leadership, leading through your brand, and even leading in your most intimate relationships. Join me in engaging conversations with special guests who are leaders in their careers, communities, and families. Gain insights, perspectives, and invaluable lessons that challenge traditional notions of what it means to lead. Take the Leap Colleen Biggs When was the last time you took a leap of faith trusting that everything is going to work out? Do you crave growth, or are you merely content with the status quo? If you want more out of your life, out of your career, and out of your relationships, you are in the right place. It's time for you to step into the Spotlight to expand your influence and attract the right clients. Your Host, Colleen Biggs, will expose the actions you need to take, through the experiences and interviews of our guests, so you no longer are sitting on the sidelines, but that you are finally taking an active role in defining the design of your life rather than living it by default. We will be interviewing elite leaders that will share their greatest regrets, successes, and how they did it! Week after week you will learn all about how you too can take the leap of faith, trust in yourself and stop living a life only by default.
