Interview with Toby Jenkins

Toby Jenkins

Toby Jenkins on Negative Visualisation, Seeking Discomfort in Partnerships, and his experience as an Olympian.

This episode features Toby Jenkins; Olympian, and CEO of Bluewire Media

In this episode we talk about how Toby and his co-founder Adam dramatically changed the direction of their already established business and how they decided on a new direction.

We also speak about the challenges Toby has faced with partnerships throughout his life and what he has learned is essential to that success.

Of particular interest is a concept Toby discussed called ‘Negative Visualisation’, not a well known concept but a powerful one.

Other notable topics include the stress of writing a book, Toby’s experience as an Olympian and we all should implement 90 day checkins.
