Is Your Life A Bit BLAH? Then You Need The SPARK!

Is Your Life A Bit BLAH? Then You Need The SPARK!
Is Your Life A Bit BLAH? Then You Need The SPARK! On this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive into something I call The Spark—that persistent inner feeling that there’s more to life than what you’re currently living. It’s that quiet voice inside you that refuses to die, nudging you toward something better, something more fulfilling. Many of us settle into routines that leave us feeling drained, disconnected, or just “off track.” Maybe you find yourself going through the motions, wondering if this really is all there is. I share my own “desk moment,” a simple yet powerful awakening when I realised that even though things seemed fine on the surface, I was no longer fully alive or engaged in my own life. This episode is about that first vital shift: awareness. It’s not about dramatic changes or overnight transformations, but about recognising the parts of your daily life that drain your energy versus those that light you up. Through honest reflection, you can start reclaiming your power and move away from autopilot to becoming the author of your own story. Wanting more from life isn’t selfish—it’s essential. And the fear of failing to change shouldn’t stop you from trying. The bigger risk is staying stuck in a life that doesn’t fit, watching potential slip away. I invite you to reflect on your own spark and share your moments of clarity with the hashtag #MySparkMoment. Let’s build a community of people who refuse to settle and are ready to take those small steps toward meaningful change. If this resonates with you, hit subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode. Your support helps us reach more listeners and keep bringing you content that matters.

I HANDED In My NOTICE!!
06/16/2025
I HANDED In My NOTICE!!
I HANDED In My NOTICE!! In this powerful and heartfelt episode of Join Up Dots, we’re diving deep into the real stories behind the downloads. Every week, thousands of people across the globe tune in, seeking clarity, motivation, and a path to change. But today, we’re flipping the mic around—sharing the voices of our listeners who are taking what they’ve learned and putting it into action. These are not influencers, celebrities, or gurus. They’re people just like you—navigating challenges, building businesses, reclaiming their lives, and drawing inspiration from the journey we’re all on together. You’ll hear from Jessica in the Scottish Highlands who, after years of living by other people’s expectations, finally took the leap toward a more creative and fulfilling life. She’s enrolled in art therapy, preparing to take a sabbatical, and discovering what it means to live on her own terms. Her story is a testament to what happens when we stop asking for permission and start asking better questions. She wonders if David, too, had to strip everything back to discover his real path—and how he knew it was the right one. It's a reminder that growth often starts with surrender. From Seville, Carlos shares a quieter yet equally transformational shift. Once stuck in the hamster wheel of overwork, he’s now reclaimed his peace by simplifying life. Inspired by our message to “control what you can,” he’s walking to work, tuning into Join Up Dots, and discovering that success isn’t always loud—it’s often silent, deliberate, and deeply personal. We also hear from Mohan in Hyderabad, whose job loss became the spark for something far greater. While uncertainty and fear took centre stage at first, the show’s encouragement to reframe failure gave him courage. Now, he’s exploring copywriting and voiceover work—leaning into his storytelling skills and, for the first time in years, feeling a sense of purpose return. On the business front, three inspiring voices take us inside their online journeys. Natalie from Wellington finally broke free from her 9–5, building a content writing business she once thought was out of reach. After two years of listening on lunch breaks, she handed in her notice. It wasn’t an overnight success, but it was a deliberate one—powered by clarity, belief, and consistent action. Meanwhile, Emily in Vancouver celebrates her first digital sale after launching a template store for creatives. Her voice beams with pride as she shares how letting go of perfection and following the "just launch it" mentality gave her the breakthrough she’d been waiting for. What’s even more exciting is that she still walks the streets of Vancouver listening to the show, now as a business owner rather than just a dreamer. Then there's Jake from Lagos, still deep in the trenches of research but already making moves. His business idea—to connect local artisans with global customers—is in development, and he’s conducting user interviews to build something real. He writes with a mixture of nervousness and curiosity, asking David how to know when an idea is worth pushing or when it’s time to pivot. That question resonates with anyone who’s ever stood at the crossroads of action and doubt. Of course, no Join Up Dots episode would be complete without acknowledging the people who aren’t just taking the lessons—but who want to understand how David built the life they now admire. Benji in Bristol writes with admiration and a touch of obsession. He’s reverse-engineering the lifestyle David now enjoys: time freedom, creative passion, and a deep sense of alignment. But he’s also honest. How do you build a life like that without falling back into old patterns? What mindset shift has to happen first? From Cairo, Ahmed reflects on the challenge of having too many ideas and not enough certainty. He sees David’s focus and wants to understand how to develop that same trust in a single direction. It’s a question many face when starting something new—especially when every option feels both exciting and terrifying. And then there’s Sophie in Hamburg, who found connection not through polished stories of success, but in David’s admission of struggle. She references a moment in an early episode—David hiding in the bathroom during a corporate event—and says that’s when it clicked. The power of vulnerability, of honesty, and of admitting when things aren’t quite right yet. That’s what made her believe change was possible. Each of these voices represents more than just a listener—they’re a living, breathing part of the Join Up Dots community. And today’s episode is about recognising that your story, your struggle, and your small wins matter. Whether you’re starting a business, shifting your life, or just figuring things out—you’re not alone. We’re all joining the dots, one decision at a time. So if you’ve ever thought, “I’m not sure I can do this,” listen to these stories. If you’ve ever asked, “Where do I begin?”—start right here. These aren’t fairytales. These are footsteps you can follow. And once you’ve listened, don’t keep it to yourself.

How To Sell Like A Master

How To Sell Like A Master
How To Sell Like A Master Todays guest joining us on the show has over the past 19 years, he has helped 1000+ coaches, consultants, service providers, and entrepreneurs master the fundamentals of sales and close more High-Ticket sales over the phone. He is known as the “The One Call Closer,” and is one of the most recognized and in-demand sales trainers in the high-ticket space. The tactics and ideas that he uses in his One Call-Closer private training are techniques that took him 20 years to develop and that less than 1% of the population even know about. These techniques are also derived from him spending over 10,000 hours on sales and business trainings, courses, and seminars. Now that sounds amazing, and of course we all will be thinking that he was born with this talent. But in fact his journey to becoming a successful sales trainer didn’t happen overnight nor was it easy. He went through a lot to get to where he is today. He started his passion for selling at the young age of 13 where he got his first sales job as a junior sales assistant at the local furniture store. It was from that experience that he wanted to pursue a passion for selling and started this never-ending pursuit of sales improvement. Up until today, he’s read over 396 sales books and has spent over $128,563 on sales trainings and seminars. During his time at college, the Dean of Special Resources told him that he should drop out of school because of his diagnosed struggles with ADD/ADHD. It wasn’t the first time he was told to give up and quit and it will not be his last. However, that didn’t affect him and he wasn’t willing to give up. And that is always the key to success, persistence outworks talent, skills and anything else you think is holding you back from your future. So what is it about selling that lights him up inside, when most people struggle with this bigtime. And where do we go wrong, blinking at the pivotal moment of quoting our price, or something else? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots with the one and only Mr Kayvon Kay Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics with Kayvon Kay such as: Kayvon share his belief that there is no single path to success, and everybody has to create the path that is right for them if it is truly going to succeed. Kayvon shares how so many people get confused with the systems against the strategies. Use the webinars, funnels, an email optins to create a deeper connection with your clients before you ever hope to sell. We discuss Kayvons childhood, and how his fathers advice could have held him back from the future that was waiting for him. Thank god he ignored him! and lastly…. We discuss how Kayvon spent $125,000 on self development and still failed - the reason was he hadn't proved himself to anyone, not least himself.

David responds with more encouragement and practical support to help her (and others) keep that momentum going.

INTERVIEW: A Man In The Search Of The Sweet Spot
INTERVIEW: A Man In The Search Of The Sweet Spot Todays guest is a man who likes nothing more than having a laugh in both his personal and business life. Throw into the mix his love of inspiring people, communicating at a high level, and leaving a lasting impression on everyone that he meets and you get the flavour of what he is all about. Starting his career in the form of corporate entertainment, he would wow the crowds across America and on the huge cruise ships, with humorous commentary and magic tricks. He knew that he could be funny and entertain, but could he combine the fun with the message? Could he strengthen his proposition by tackling the issues that business struggle with, all the time still keeping to his authentic self. Well he has done just that by starting "Laugh-O-Nomics"....yep that's a proper word, and now speaks on a range of subjects, but loves nothing more to discuss happiness at work. As he says "Happy people have, on average, 31% higher productivity; their sales are 37% higher; their creativity is three times higher.” and companies are missing a trick. They haven't quite grasped the fact that people having a good time, keeping moral at a high level, and working hard is the best thing that every company can have on their premises. The days of setting huge targets and cracking the whip to ensure that it all gets done should hopefully now be a thing of the past? So does he find that the hardest people to bring round to his hugely valuable message are the middle managers of the world? And when did he realise that all his talents had come together to take him into the motivational speaking world and flourish whilst he is there? Well lets find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Brad Montgomery.

Social media shines when it’s used to spark conversations, build trust, and create genuine human relationships.

Do The Thing You DON'T Want To Do Today! In this episode of Join Up Dots, we dive deep into the uncomfortable truth behind real progress—doing what you don’t fancy. It’s not the glamorous, Insta-worthy moments that create success; it’s the gritty, awkward actions you resist that hold the key. Whether it’s recording your first video, writing for free to build a portfolio, or just hitting record on a podcast idea that’s been simmering for months—success lives in the repetition of those unfancy steps. Host David Ralph shares powerful real-life stories of people who pushed through resistance and found results, not because the tasks got easier, but because they got stronger. If you’re waiting for motivation or ease, you’ll be waiting forever. Progress comes when you lean into the discomfort and do it anyway.

INTERVIEW: Mark A Lack: A Man Who Is Outperforming His Own Identity

INTERVIEW: Mark A Lack: A Man Who Is Outperforming His Own Identity
INTERVIEW: Mark A Lack: A Man Who Is Outperforming His Own Identity Our guest today lives his life by two rules. And these are two rules that by and large most people will try to keep away from, and then they wonder why they haven’t got their dream life. He believes that You can’t be afraid to take a risk. You absolutely MUST have a plan. And then if you know anything about him, he adds to the mix a huge belief in himself, a flexing hustle muscle that he demonstrates everyday, and an easy going nature that helps him reach out to the movers and shakers across the globe. As a young man, he had a burning passion to become a professional paintballer, and upon getting his first gun from his parents set out to achieve his aim. And it seems that what he wants to do, he makes sure that he does its as within four years he had travelled the world shooting capsules of paint at people winning $300,000 dollars in the process. Even gaining the top prize of $160,000 in just one weekend. But at his core burned a question. A question that had occurred to him several years earlier, and had remain within him. Gnawing away. He asked himself “If people can come from nothing and create insane amounts of wealth in one lifetime, then shouldn’t someone like myself coming from a middle class family who has the support from their family and lives in “The Land of Opportunity” be able to easily do the same thing?” Wow, for a fourteen year old kid that shows awareness beyond his years. He realised at any early age that comfort creates mediocrity, and pain motives change. And now after investing over $500,000 of his own money on self development, and spending time with the likes of Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield and even Arnold Schwarzenegger he is taking those personal skills and sharing them with the world with his Peak Performance Club. But how does someone at the age of 14 start thinking in such an advanced way, especially when it appears he didn’t have anything to force him to think that way? And where does he find the greatest need within the people that he coaches and inspires across the world?
