In this week’s episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I talk to Tom Almas—a former punk rocker turned entrepreneur who’s redefining the flexible workspace industry across the UK.

Tom founded Wizu Workspace eight years ago and grew it from a start-up to an impressive £8 million business with a team of 55. But he didn’t just stop at business success; he’s also raising two sons with his wife and navigating the constant challenge of balancing work and family life.

In this episode, we dive into:

1. Tom’s unique approach to time management that keeps him focused on the things that truly matter—at home and at work

2. How he uses a powerful mental image involving “big rocks” to prioritise his non-negotiables, like family time, health, and key business goals

3. His game-changing exercise for entrepreneurs: If you only had four hours a month to work on your business, what would you focus on?

Tom’s story will inspire anyone who feels torn between professional success and a fulfilling personal life. His perspective on “what am I becoming in the process?” will encourage you to think differently about your own priorities.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a leader, or just someone searching for that elusive work-life balance, this episode is packed with real-life insights to help you thrive.
