The Best Piece of Parental Advice (24 Hour Clubhouse Room Takeover)

Welcome everybody to the audio version of the Boostly podcast. So today I am going into the vault and I am finding some of the best clips from a 24 hour clubhouse room that we ran this year. It was an, it was an amazing experience to be part of, to host it, to admin it, and to grab friends and peers from the industry into one room on the the leading audio app and help hosts all over the world. We had a lot of fun. We touched every single corner of the globe and what I wanted to do is be able to put it together, find the best bits and put it into the daily Boost podcast. So I hope you enjoy. The section is not going more than 10 minutes, but it's going to feature a part of the 24 hour room that resonated the most with me. So thank you for tuning in and I will be back tomorrow with another podcast podcast episode. Right now though, let's jump into that clubhouse room.

What's the one thing that your mother or father or guardian or grandparents taught you that has shaped your life or just completely changed your life? So the lessons that you learned from your parents or your guardians or your grandparents when you were growing up, that has just completely changed your life? Richard, if you could be so kind to start the offer, I'd be fantastic.

Yeah, that's a really good question. And as you get older, which I am, slowly it's something you reflect on more interestingly. So I can pick three things, I think actually my grandfather, who was a First World War veteran of the trenches and Passchendaele and all that nastiness, his was always, don't complain, son, there's always somebody worse off than you. And don't ever drink your beer out of a dimple glass. It's always got to be a straight glass. So that's my grandfather, my mother. My mother was a very independent person who worked her entire life very hard, I think, for very little at the end of it. And she taught me independence, I think, and the capacity to just pick up and run and do your very best. So that was good. My father, on the other hand, they're all dead, by the way, so there's no chance of it coming back on me. My father was one of those people, I suppose, of the old crew, children were seen and not heard. So it taught me to actually spend a lot more time with my kids and involve myself in their lives. So, yeah, I think those, those three things have kind of shaped and molded me as the years have gone on. So amazing. There's always somebody, somebody Worse off than me. Stand on your own two feet and pay attention to family life.

I love it. Thank you very much. I never expected when I asked that question to have one from each, but I love it, really do love it. JP Phil, free to share. So anything that basically you have been.

The life lessons that have been taught.

By, you know, mom, dad, grandparent, whoever it may be.

Yeah, really interesting. So I'm not fortunate enough to have known my grandparents. All my so called wisdom, if you like, came from mum and dad. My dad always kind of said, just don't do anything that you don't love. So you gotta love what you're doing. And that's kind of where I followed the passion for music and architecture, the two things I loved as a kid. I didn't know it was called architecture. I just used to like drawing and designing buildings. But yeah, you gotta love what you're doing was the thing my dad's always said. And I suppose the other one kind of came from a dad as well, which is don't take. No, I won't swear, but you know the word from nobody. Don't take no nonsense from nobody. Basically, if you know, he's kind of a. So my family are from Sicily. They then migrated to Glasgow of all places. So I'm the product of my father who's Scottish and his father who is Italian. And I think one thing that the Italians do well is they don't take no nonsense and they say it as it is. And then if you add in a Glaswegian on top of that, they also don't take no nonsense and they say it as it is as well. So two bits of wisdom there from my dad is love what you do and don't take no nonsense from anyone. There you go.

Fantastic, Fantastic. What a lovely combination that is. Sean, if you are still with us, my friend. Same question too.

Yeah.

I've been debating on if I'm going to share or not because I don't really want to kill the mood. I will just say, in short, my parents weren't able to give any sort of life advice. So. Yeah, what? Not. Not really. Not really a good childhood. Let's put it at that.

No, that's okay, buddy. I appreciate you. All right, so Adam, if you are with us, my friend, I know you've jumped in. I don't know if you've heard the question, but basically what we're asking is what life lessons did you pick up from either your mother, your father, grandparents, guardian, whoever it may be around when you were growing up that's sort of changed your life. We've had some really cool thoughtful answers. I just wanted if you would like to share.

It's a really interesting question, isn't it? I think and everyone's childhoods and upbringings are so diverse and different and I don't think there was any, I would say any life changing lessons. I would say I had great inspiration from my grandmother who was a professional actress, did quite a lot of UK television and theatre and things like that and you know, she always encouraged me and was the one that sort of guided me towards that, that route of performing. My mum and dad were, were brought up in pubs, didn't really have too much for financial education or anything like that. But if, if one thing I learned from them growing up in the pub in the sort of pub industry and things like that was, was that it's hard work and it's hard graft. So if I've, if I've learned one thing from them it's, it's how to work hard. Probably, probably not to the best and most efficient sometimes but, but good hard working ethics is, you know I had a. As soon as I could go and work I was, you know, going doing paper rounds and cleaning people's cars and as soon as I could get working in shops and things like that. So I've always had an interest in that. But mum and dad are always very supportive. Dad was much more of the be realistic kind of person, very safe and mum was more of the go and chase your dream. So a good balance I would say I had there. So I count myself quite lucky.
