In this episode of Wired for Success, we sit down with Lisa Clunie, founder of Thrive Studios, whose 30+ year journey through the world of design, branding, and strategy is nothing short of inspiring.

Lisa shares how her career began in graphic design and evolved into brand psychology and strategy—understanding why people connect with brands, not just what they look like.

From working with global companies like Shell and BP to launching her own studio in 2012, Lisa has built a business that thrives on long-term relationships, powerful storytelling, and client success.

We also talk about:

• Rebuilding confidence and voice after divorce
• The psychology of branding (for businesses and individuals)
• Why values, consistency, and clarity matter more than ever
• How she helps clients go from “just another logo” to a brand with real value and connection
• 
  

Lisa’s warmth, passion, and deep insight into what makes a brand truly resonate will leave you thinking differently about your own message and mission.

In this inspiring episode of Wired for Success, Jamie Morgan sits down with Debbie Ashmole, a mindset-based weight loss coach who helps people finally break free from emotional eating, comfort eating, and the exhausting cycle of yo-yo dieting.

Debbie’s story is raw and relatable—after years of struggling with her weight and self-esteem, she made a powerful transformation in her late 40s, losing 4.5 stone and going from a size 20 to a size 8.

But what truly changed wasn’t just her body—it was her mindset.

We talk about:

• Why emotional eating isn’t a willpower problem

🎙️ Claim What’s Yours: Alan Howell on Taking On Insurance Giants and Taking Control of His Future

How one redundancy led to business ownership, fighting for policyholders, and the power of local networking in Camberley and beyond.

In this episode of Wired for Success, host Jamie Morgan sits down with Alan Howell, the owner of My Property Claim, an insurance loss assessor business based in Camberley, Surrey.

Alan’s entrepreneurial journey began not with a grand plan—but with redundancy. After being let go from his corporate job at Nokia, Alan made a bold decision to buy a franchise and launch his own business. What followed was a steep learning curve, a new mission, and a realisation: most policyholders don’t know how to deal with insurance companies when things go wrong—and worse, many insurers will do everything they can not to pay out.

💡 In this episode, we explore:

• Why Alan chose to buy a franchise—and what he learned along the way
• The crucial differences between insurance brokers, loss adjusters, and loss assessors
• What to look out for in your home or business insurance policy before it’s too late
• Real-life examples of how insurers try to avoid paying claims
• Why Alan is proud to stand up for policyholders who feel powerless
• How local business networking transformed My Property Claim’s growth
• And what advice he has for anyone navigating redundancy or starting a business

Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, business owner—or just someone who's dealt with insurance headaches—this episode is full of practical insights and real-world experiences from someone who's been on both sides of the desk.

🛠️ Alan now works with clients across Surrey, Berkshire, Hampshire, and beyond, helping them maximise their insurance claim success and reduce stress during difficult times.

🎙️ But, Will It Shred an Egg? | Charlotte Haye – Vivid Copy | Wired for Success Podcast

In this episode of Wired for Success, host Jamie Morgan chats with Charlotte Haye, founder of Vivid Copy and an expert UK-based copywriter who knows how to bring words to life—and businesses with them.

Charlotte’s journey started in the family-run catering business, working black tie events, but her love of storytelling and sharp messaging eventually led her to the world of copywriting. Now, she helps businesses find their voice, cut through the noise, and sound more like people, not polished brochures.

Oh, and when she’s not writing compelling web and email copy? She’s probably working on a horror or zombie book for young adult readers. 🧟‍♀️

🔍 In this episode:

• The surprising power of tone of voice

• Why clarity (not cleverness) wins in copy

• How to avoid sounding like everyone else

• What makes “personality-packed” writing work

• And yes… we ask the important question: But will it shred an egg?

Whether you're a business owner, content creator, or just curious about how better words can boost your brand, this episode is packed with insight and energy.

📍 Charlotte works with clients across the UK, including Hampshire, Surrey, and Berkshire.
