We are joined once more by the fabulous Billy Farrell to discuss the importance of being authentic and real in business. As always, we have an unfiltered and honest conversation about the realities of entrepreneurship without any of the fluff as Billy shares that just a few months ago, one of his businesses was struggling to make payroll before they turned it round at the eleventh hour. 
This transformation serves as a testament to the importance of authenticity and being real in business. Billy emphasises the need to have honest conversations about the realities of entrepreneurship, without sugarcoating or hiding the struggles that come with it.
The discussion also touches upon Billy's recent diagnosis of neurodivergence and how this newfound understanding of his unique way of thinking has contributed to his self-awareness, acceptance, and personal growth. This revelation has allowed him to embrace his differences and use them as strengths in his entrepreneurial journey.
 
We delve into the topic of mental health and how it can be affected when faced with challenging situations. Billy shares his own experiences of dealing with difficult times and emphasises the importance of harnessing the pain and learning from life's challenges.
Ultimately we are all looking to find peace amidst the chaos!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Embracing your uniqueness: Billy discusses how he has always felt different and never fit in with social groups. However, he has learned to embrace his uniqueness and see it as a strength rather than a weakness.
There is great value in understanding the importance of accepting conditions as part of who you are, rather than using them as excuses or crutches.
Billy highlights the importance of going through challenges and coming out the other side stronger and more resilient. He believes that facing and overcoming difficulties builds a thicker skin and prepares individuals for bigger opportunities and risks in the future.
Past victories and future aspirations are important, but the present moment is where true peace and happiness can be found.
BEST MOMENTS
"So I've not had to stamp a label of bipolar"
"I'm all for learning more about myself, not so that I can have anything as a crutch, but so that I can go, cool, do you know what? If this is me, then I'm going to learn everything I can about this." 
"It's about being more you. It's about actually not fighting against the things that actually make you feel safe and allow you to thrive."
"The more life lessons you go through, the more challenges you go through, as much as we don't necessarily enjoy them. You develop a thicker skin. Some people can become bitter, resentful, hateful and get, you know, just pissed off at the world and life. But there's another way of doing it."
