In this episode, Charlie Reading is interviewed by co-host Claire Fudge. Charlie shares his personal and professional journey from a farmer's son to a successful financial planner and finally to a business coach with a keen interest in artificial intelligence (AI) and goal setting. Charlie recounts pivotal moments that shaped his career trajectory, starting with the inspiration he received from his uncle Bill, which led him to value independence and the ability to set his own rules in business. He discusses his transition away from the financial sector's commission-driven environment to establishing his own business that prioritises client needs and a balanced life. A significant turning point came from attending a Tony Robbins event, which motivated him to focus on health, family, business success, and writing books. Charlie emphasises the importance of goal setting, fear setting, the role of AI in the future of business, and measuring what matters both in personal life and business. He advocates for regular goal assessment, creating systems for achieving goals, and the use of data and AI to enhance business operations and personal achievements.
