Unlock Sovereignty: The Real Secret to Mindset, Money & Meaning

What we talked about.

In this conversational episode, host Sunny Ray catches up with guest Miles, an entrepreneur based in the UK who is currently staying in Cornwall with his family, away from their usual home in London. Miles reflects on selling his domestic gas engineering and trades business about thirteen months earlier, and describes the uncertain in-between stage that followed, where he now pushes toward building something in Bitcoin and AI while wrestling with doubt about his direction. Sunny shares his own mindset philosophy, arguing that feeling comes before the thing, and that visualizing an outcome and generating its emotional state daily, through morning routines, workouts, and dream boards, is what actually attracts opportunity rather than chasing it. The two also compare life in London versus Toronto, discuss whether negative online narratives about the UK hold truth, and talk about maintaining a workout routine while away from home. The conversation blends personal storytelling with practical mindset advice on abundance, purpose, and navigating career transitions with intention rather than fear.

An entrepreneur in transition and his mentor unpack mindset, Bitcoin, AI and how feeling abundant now can attract the life you want.

The questions, and the answers.

How's life out in Cornwall right now?

We're away from London, staying somewhere really beautiful but quiet. Nothing much goes on here, but people are lovely. In London no one says hello on the street, but here everyone does, even to my kids. It doesn't feel like anyone here is trying to build a unicorn company or change the world, they're just kind, helping their community, and happy without needing to be a big founder. It's been refreshing.

Is there any truth to what people say online about the UK, or is that just internet noise?

Maybe some truth, but there's a kind of warfare against the UK online. My wife read an article by the outgoing Polish ambassador who said the only people down on the UK are British people themselves. He pointed out our economy is the sixth biggest in the world and our financial services industry alone is bigger than Denmark, Norway and Sweden combined. It's not as bad as the internet makes it sound.

Where are you with your journey since selling the business? What you showed me last time was fire.

I sold my gas engineering trades business about thirteen months ago, not for loads of money, just enough to buy me time. I'd hit my earning ceiling and wanted to deliver more value and work in Bitcoin. But I still don't really know what I'm doing. I was on a good path before, comfortable, decent money, flexibility with the kids, but I knew it wasn't excellent, so I left it. Now some mornings I wake up wondering if there's any point getting out of bed.

Why move toward Bitcoin and AI after leaving that business?

I think there's nothing more valuable to work in right now than AI and Bitcoin. They both feel inevitable, and they're basically the only growing sectors in the UK, so that's where I want to be. I'm still figuring out exactly what I'm doing, but I know this direction feels right for me, even if some days I question whether I'm actually achieving anything.

What made you want to start doing podcasts like this one?

Honestly, we're not really sure what the value of doing a podcast like this is. But for me it just feels like the right direction. I want momentum in this space, even if some mornings I spend creating content and then wonder what I actually achieved. It's part of moving toward Bitcoin and building something new after selling my old business.

What's messed with your morning routine while you've been away?

Out here it doesn't get light until around 8:20 in the morning, so you wake up at 5 and you're in darkness for hours. There's no gym nearby, so I've been doing home workouts for about two weeks. I tried running with a head torch a couple of times but I'm not really up for it anymore. It's taken some of the drive out of my mornings.
