Balancing Fatherhood and Entrepreneurship - with Luke Carter
Michael interviews entrepreneur Luke Carter about his journey as a parent and businessman. Luke shares his experiences as a father and his passion for entrepreneurship, highlighting the importance of aligning one's values with their business ventures.
He discusses his diverse range of business interests, including property, funding, and trading, and how he stays attuned to global trends and market changes. Luke also delves into his personal journey of overcoming mental health challenges and the therapeutic process of writing his book, "Darkness to Light."
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Luke emphasises the importance of having a robust and healthy relationship with one's subconscious, both as a parent and as an entrepreneur. He believes that self-awareness and self-growth are crucial in raising children and building a successful business.
In terms of trends, Luke has observed a significant shortfall of liquidity in the lending market, with major institutions buying fixed income instead of lending out. This has created opportunities for challenger banks and private credit organisations to provide more flexible and tailored solutions to borrowers.
Luke has written a book called "Darkness to Light" as a therapeutic and self-healing process. The book consists of 111 quotes that capture his emotions and journey from depression to success. He believes that the book can provide strength and inspiration to others who may be facing similar challenges.
Luke's experience growing up with a professional footballer father has had a significant impact on his life. While there were challenges, such as feeling the pressure to live up to his father's achievements, Luke also recognises the importance of his background and heritage in shaping his identity and values.

BEST MOMENTS
"I always tend to put my true emotions, not my reactive emotions, first and then have the drive to achieve more. You're naturally going to do better than you even thought you could because it's in resonance."
"I always wanted to do that, you know, the 1%, 1%, 3% rule, you know, consistency every day. That's what my goal was. And you constantly have to work on that because I have a habit of freaking myself out by thinking too much in the future and causing anxiety."
"I'm a big believer in natural flow and energy and law of attraction. I believe in divine timing and going with your gut instinct. I'd start the first few words. Sometimes I had no idea where it's going, but the words would flow."
