POWER to Live More with Jo Dodds is a long-running interview show about productivity, organisation, wellbeing, energy, and resilience. It has a gentle rhythm. Jo Dodds speaks with people who have built businesses, led teams, coached others, taught, improved retail operations, trained workplace behaviours, and spent time outdoors. The conversations usually begin with context rather than a hard sell. A guest’s working life, business history, tools, routines, and support systems become the route into bigger questions about motivation and sustainability. Scott McCarthy talks through delegation in both a one-person business and a leadership structure with direct reports. Amanda Davey brings the focus toward limits, performance, inclusive teams, and culture. Janine Ogg connects digital learning, templates, Asana, outdoor pursuits, and the idea of a sub 20 hour business. Sue Heddo brings productivity down to operational detail, including customer experience, store salary budgeting, and continuous improvement. Rob Moore speaks from the perspective of entrepreneurial learning, testing, reviewing, tweaking, and repeating. Mark Huggins brings in personal development, mindfulness, meditation, mind mapping, walking, feedback, behaviour, and relationship skills at work. Michelle Smith adds a thread of outdoor appreciation, energy, teaching, tenacity, and adventure. Dr Penny Pullum grounds the show in virtual and hybrid leadership, adult learning, creativity, fear, uncertainty, and team challenges. The show is especially good at asking ordinary but revealing questions. Who helps? What tools are actually used? What changed? What does the day look like? The answers are often anecdotal, but they keep circling back to usable choices. It does not feel like a compressed business lesson. It feels like a thoughtful conversation with enough room for the guest to explain how things really work. Ellie Dodds appears as co-presenter in the reshared interview format, setting up guests and adding useful background before the interview resumes. Because these are revisited interviews, some references may treat past events as current. That datedness is part of the archive, not a flaw in the show’s purpose. For listeners building a calmer, more deliberate working life, POWER to Live More offers steady company and grounded examples.
Made for: For small-business owners, coaches, consultants, team leaders, educators, and productivity-minded listeners who prefer real working examples over glossy advice. It also suits people trying to balance ambition with energy, wellbeing, and home-based work pressures.
What sets it apart: The show stands out by letting guests explain the practical details behind their habits instead of rushing toward neat takeaways. Its reshared interview format gives the archive a reflective feel, with Ellie Dodds adding context before Jo Dodds returns to the conversation.
