Since you were old enough to hold a job, you've been hoodwinked to believe that wealth can be created by blindly trusting in the uncontrollable and unpredictable markets: the housing market, the stock market, and the job market. I call this soul-sucking, dream-stealing dogma "The Slowlane" - an impotent financial gamble that dubiously promises wealth in a wheelchair. For those who don't want a lifetime subscription to "settle-for-less", there is an alternative.

John Caudwell is one of Britain's wealthiest, most successful–and most colourful–businessmen.

If you’re an entrepreneur, you already know the hustle. You’re spinning plates, managing teams, launching ideas, chasing opportunities—and somehow, you still feel stuck. You’re working harder than ever, yet your impact feels smaller than you expected. Sound familiar? You’re not alone—and you’re not broken. In Visionary, author Mark C. Winters unpacks the real reason so many high-achieving entrepreneurs feel frustrated: they’re doing too much of what they shouldn’t be.

Whether you like it or loathe it, public speaking is something many of us have to do. Be it presentations to colleagues or speeches to a room full of near-strangers, we all want to shine…or at least get through it with our dignity intact. Luckily Philip Collins, former Chief Speech Writer to Tony Blair, knows exactly what’s needed to give a storming speech. The secret, according to Philip, is content.

The secret to memorable, polished speeches is to think more about the material you’re sharing.
