Different Points Podcast

In this episode, Roy and Catherine dig into where their own boundaries most need attention — and for both of them, it's less about other people than about themselves. Catherine opens up about her long, ongoing relationship with screens and scrolling, comparing it to a kind of addiction that never fully disappears, just gets managed better or worse at different points in life — and makes the case that our culture has had thousands of years to learn healthy relationships with things like alcohol,

In this episode, Roy and Catherine explore the relationships that shape who we become. Roy talks about staying close to his mother as a daily sounding board — valued more for her intuition and people-sense than for business advice — and about surrounding himself with people he trusts who are genuinely trying to make things better for others.

Catherine shares a wake-up call from a conversation with a marketing coach, who helped her see the excuses she'd built around avoiding social media ("I'm too old," "my clients won't be on there anyway") — stories that vanished the moment she recognized them as fake. Roy shares two of his own, including a childhood story about when he actually started Kung Fu, and a long-ru

In this episode of Different Points, Roy Coughlan and Catherine Llewellyn dig into what happens when pressure takes over — and why celebrating small steps forward beats anxious fixation on the end goal every time. From the nightmare of UK property chains to how Poland does it in a day, this is a practical and uplifting conversation about staying in flow. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why pressure kills momentum and sends you reaching for distractions instead of taking action How Ca
