Burnout, anxiety, stress is at an all time high. People are the greatest asset of an organisation. The better people look after themselves, the better they perform in all areas of life - both at work and home. Every single tiny choice we make during the day is shaping our lives, directly impacting how we feel and experience life. After getting the biggest wake up call of losing everything in my life in 2016 I had no choice but to face my habits and make a change. The changes at first seemed so insignificant that I didn't believe they would make a difference. BUT they did. The Positive Habits Podcast is for people who want to live a better life, with higher energy levels, less stress, better relationships and ultimately to supercharge their performance in all areas of life. I'm on a mission to help people improve their wellbeing with one small habit change.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-16T02:31:32.026894+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216"},"episode":{"title":"From a Bedroom Full of Peanuts to Building a National Brand","slug":"from-a-bedroom-full-of-peanuts-to-building-a-national-brand","published_at":"2026-05-27T09:15:29+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216/from-a-bedroom-full-of-peanuts-to-building-a-national-brand","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-positive-habits-podcast-6951216","url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/d73e75e4837ae55f6e4ba2b7a2aced1c6d2df72eb2d0c64ad89b7fe742183d58/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI0ZmNjMWM4NS01YjA3LTQ1MjAtYTljNy1lNjdhNmU4NzFhNDEiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI4YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWMyM2Y4NWM0NTE2MjFkOThhOGFjNDEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmExNmI2MzJjM2Q5ZDk5YzI3NmIzN2RhL2thdC10aG9ybmVzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTUtMjdfXzExLTE1LTI5Lm1wMyJ9.mp3","audio_url":"https://api.riverside.com/hosting-analytics/media/d73e75e4837ae55f6e4ba2b7a2aced1c6d2df72eb2d0c64ad89b7fe742183d58/eyJlcGlzb2RlSWQiOiI0ZmNjMWM4NS01YjA3LTQ1MjAtYTljNy1lNjdhNmU4NzFhNDEiLCJwb2RjYXN0SWQiOiI4YjBlZTM0YS0yNTk0LTQ2MTgtYTUxMi1jZGJhMmQwYjNmMjEiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiI2NWMyM2Y4NWM0NTE2MjFkOThhOGFjNDEiLCJwYXRoIjoibWVkaWEvY2xpcHMvNmExNmI2MzJjM2Q5ZDk5YzI3NmIzN2RhL2thdC10aG9ybmVzLXN0dWRpby1jb21wb3Nlci0yMDI2LTUtMjdfXzExLTE1LTI5Lm1wMyJ9.mp3","summary":"What happens when you walk away from the career everyone expects you to take? In this episode of The Positive Habits Podcast , Kat sits down with Stu Mac, founder of ManiLife Peanut Butter, to explore the story behind building one of the UK's most loved food brands - from a bedroom full of peanuts to scaling a purpose-led business. But this conversation goes far beyond peanut butter. Kat and Stu explore how habits shape performance, the hidden impact of food on energy and focus, why connection matters more than constant productivity, and how success often comes from simply \"keeping on going.\" They discuss: How ManiLife started after Stu rejected a corporate accounting path The manufacturing disaster that nearly stopped the business before it began Why \"luck\" often follows consistency and persistence The importance of connection and getting out from behind the to-do list Food, ultra-processed products and modern wellbeing challenges Why food influences focus, mood, energy and productivity The role habits play in mental and physical performance Why tiny changes create momentum Building businesses around passion rather than obligation The power of movement, phone habits and small daily decisions Plus… 🥜 Stu shares his favourite ways to eat peanut butter (including one combination you probably won't expect). If you've ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in autopilot, or wondered how small habits create big change - this episode is for you. ABOUT THE GUEST Stu is the Founder of ManiLife, the UK's fastest growing Peanut Butter Brand from a Rugby Club Kitchen in 2015 when a tonne of Peanuts got diverted from his 'would be' production partner (they pulled out last minute) to his bedroom. Since then ManiLIfe has grown into a multi million pound brand, selling through 1,000s of shops w…","meta_description":"What happens when you walk away from the career everyone expects you to take?
