Darcy is from the Tonal Persuasion Method. He is someone I wanted to interview for many reasons. Firstly is he makes sales a whole lot less sleazy sounding, (which let's be honest many of us hate sales and we view it as a dirty word). Secondly I love the fact that he gives crazy amounts of value for free - his social media marketing skills alone are worth having him on the show for. Thirdly, this guy is young and confident.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Recently I wrote a piece on social media about the importance of de-cluttering. Getting rid of bad habits, toxic people, old ideas. But then I got to thinking, "What if the most toxic person in your life is you?"

Her childhood memories are of days in the ocean. The mornings would begin with driving around the coast. Mum, Dad and her younger brother in the car, all belting out tunes to the songs on the radio. A surf report would come over the speakers and an immediate hush would descend upon the car. Still to this day, no matter where she is, what she is doing or who she is speaking with.

Once at the beach, her Dad would be straight out the back, the promise of a lesson long forgotten with only the allure of the curl on his mind. A familiar ritual would begin. Her Mum would set up on the sand and Jaymie and her younger brother were in the white water competing for the best wave, yet only allowed to surf directly in front of where Mum sat. The family would return home salty, happy and satis
