The Disruptive Entrepreneur

Rob is joined by entrepreneur, consultant and author Tony Fadell. Tony opens up about his time at Apple, his thoughts on Steve Jobs and what he was like to work with and how he pitched the idea of the iPod to him! Tony managed to retire at 40 after 20+ years in Silicon Valley through designing the nest learning thermostat. He explains how this was all possible and also talks about the importance of needing others, how anything worth creating and making requires a powerful team and his passion for climate change too.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Inventing things is important but there is always a team involved, especially when it comes to making it commercial. The iPod marketing slogan “1000 songs in your pocket” was a stroke of marketing genius, it encapsulated so much of what the product was about and became a guideline for future taglines Tony has been in many companies with indecisive leaders, Steve Jobs was not one of these, his attitude and confidence was a breath of fresh air. Threatening to leave Apple when

Would you rather have 1 million pounds cash in hand or 1 million social media followers? Join Rob as he talks about this question, alongside building a valuable and disruptive brand with underground methods. Many of these methods Rob has learnt from the biggest brands and successful people in the world as well as a vast amount of business owners, entrepreneurs and of course his own invaluable experience.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Attention and interest create awareness that will either turn into reach or require an action from you to turn into reach. Awareness isn’t about who you know it’s who knows you. Attention and interest plus some desire will create awareness and your reach through your impressions, views, downloads, clicks and actions will build your brand, the bigger these are the bigger your brand. Notoriety can unlock awareness and growth to your brand and most notoriety is built through your ‘haters’ so don’t neglect them in your branding strategy. Online Search used to be Google, search is now so mu

Rob is joined by the Infamous Paul Gascoigne aka Gazza in this open and revealing episode. Everyone knows Gazza, but not many people know Paul Gascoigne and in this interview Paul talks all things personal including how he dealt with the pressure being one of the top footballers in the world, addiction and the death of his father. He also talks about his biggest achievements in life as well as the changing face of football and his biggest regrets.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Gazza was told by his dad to never forget where he came from, and this has kept him humble and grounded throughout his life. The press wasn’t always fair or kind to Gazza and his family. They would harass them, endlessly lie and they even hacked his phone not once, not twice but three times. The football world has changed dramatically since Gazza’s career started, he has noticed there is now a sheer a lack of celebration and sociability among players. As well as the role of money and the lack of opportunities in the UK. The best player Gazza

Is it true that some companies and brands are too big to fail? It's rumoured that Starbucks is going to go on sale in the UK! Rob discusses why Starbucks are struggling right now, the power of learning from the mistakes of others and why you must always evolve and adapt in this ever changing world.   KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s far best to learn vicariously the mistakes and challenges from other businesses and brands than failing yourself. Starbucks is failing because of the high cost of living; people can’t justify $5 on a coffee anymore. You have to evolve your pricing strategy according to the market. It’s hard to get quality staff in the world right now, and many staff are unionising too, these too are causes of Starbucks struggle. Starbucks rely on high volume and low margins, this model is leaving them vulnerable in the current economic climate. You are never too big to fail. Stay humble. Information is the future of high margin and low overhead business models. Don’t allow your business to rely on l

Rob is joined by the former secretary of state for health and social care, MP Matt Hancock. They talk about Matt’s thoughts on taxes, what the masses misunderstand about politics and the role of small businesses in both the economy and government. Rob also talks to Matt about the handling of the pandemic and doesn’t hold back on quizzing him about all things Boris including ‘partygate’! KEY TAKEAWAYS Matt believes Boris got the handling of three things very right: Brexit, the Pandemic and Ukraine invasion. Matt will be backing Rishi Sunak in the Conservative leadership contest, he believes he is the one who can provide the strongest leadership that appeals to the many. The pandemic meant that Matt and his party had to move quickly on many things, sometimes they managed well and inevitably sometimes, Matt admits, they missed the mark. The use of modern technology and data is what Matt attributes the fast vaccination programme and rollout to. There’s no reason clinical trials have to take as long as the

Now is probably the biggest opportunity you will get to be an entrepreneur, create a business or scale a business in your lifetime. Listen into this episode to hear Rob outline 9 rules of Entrepreneurship he has learnt in his 16 years of experience, to help you on your entrepreneurial journey and to take advantage of these unprecedented times.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Value must always come first. You must understand what value is and how to give it to your client. The purpose of entrepreneurship Is not about profit, but the outcome is. You have to create fair exchange, it needs to work for both you and the client, there should be gratitude felt on both sides. Take risks. There are risks to being an entrepreneur and you must embrace these. You must always evolve and as entrepreneur, the more you learn the more you earn. The more leverage and distribution the more impact, influence and opportunities you will gain. A company is an ecosystem. What’s essential is communication, connection and people, never forg

Is comedy under threat from woke culture? Join Rob as he talks to comedian and writer Russell Kane all about cancel culture, comedy and business. They also delve deep into the difficulties of masculinity in the modern world and the role of social media in comedy and mental health.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Russell Kane doesn’t think that there is a war on comedy. Some of the most popular comedians of today say very controversial things such as Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr. More things can be said now than back in the 70s, we’ve just changed what can’t be said. When words cause violence or real psychological damage, then it’s not ok. You need boundary, argument and debate at the periphery of comedy, that’s where the humour lies. Russell learnt, through copywriting and comedy, to separate his ego from his art and creativity. He learnt to handle rejection well. Russell never planned to go into comedy, it was simply one of the things he thought he would try and it turned out that he was good at it! Comedy for Rus

It’s popular and trendy at the moment to share all, to be open and accept vulnerability, but Rob wants to warn you about the four things you should never share about yourself. Listen in to hear what they are and why it’s important you always keep these things to yourself!   KEY TAKEAWAYS Your goals. It’s great to share your vision, purpose and cause because it’s general and meaningful. But your specific goals should not be shared as most people don’t want you to succeed! What you like and loved about your exes. No one really wants to know especially not your new partner! Anything someone trusts you with you should take to your grave. Someone else’s secret isn’t for you to share and keeping it to yourself proves you are to be trusted. Never share your net-worth. General numbers are fine but never be upfront about your actual net-worth.   BEST MOMENTS “These should stay secret, and you should take them to your grave!” “Don’t share on you goals, work on them privately, secretly and quietly” “Let

She thinks it is dividing the world and jeopardising society and freedom It only takes one generation to lose freedom in America and Caitlyn believes we are seeing this now. She is upset at how we are losing traditional values. Living with gender dysphoria is impossible to explain to others, it’s something Caitlyn has found a challenge

There’s no denying it, a crash is coming. Listen in to this episode with Rob to learn how to plan and prepare for the worst and help you not just survive, but thrive in the upcoming correction recession. KEY TAKEAWAYS Cash is now trash, or at least up for recycling! Your cash has gone down at least 20-25% in terms of spending power. People Evangelise Bitcoin because it can’t be manipulated in the same way as the monetary system we are currently in. You can’t save your way out of this crisis, you have to invest and earn your way out of it. Cash is no longer king, income is. Use your cash for assets that can generate you income. Money has to move, like energy, this is why we are seeing it move from traditional industries such as retail into spaces like content creation. Figure out where money is flowing to, where it’s headed, and go there. It’s vital that you work towards the goal of creating recurring income at the very least but ideally work towards passive income being your end goal. Mon

Misunderstood, scary and tattooed are all words associated with the powerhouse Martyn Ford. He is known as a fitness guru, social media star, bodybuilder, fighter and actor too but who is the real Martyn Ford and what is he about? Join Rob in this episode as he tries to find out about the man behind the words and rumours, including what is behind Martyn’s success in life, the power of mindset and even his battle with an eating disorder. They also discuss Martyn’s confrontation with the Iranian Hulk, the obesity crisis in the UK and his thoughts on steroids and supplements.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Martyn would rather fight in the professional world for credibility than for money. He isn’t interested in celeb fights. The heaviest Martyn has been 27 stone, but he still wouldn’t class himself as a bodybuilder, he just likes to lift weights! The mindset of a professional sportsman according to Martyn is the refusal to lose, the ability to switch off the outside world and to be consistent. The world of training has

No one actually cares about how hard you work, this isn’t what your pay is based on, all they care about is simply the end result. Listen in to understand what three top line ways you can work, to make big and real money. KEY TAKEAWAYS  If your pay was based on your hard work, then you would be paid to according to how hard you work. This isn’t true, demonstrated by how little labourers are paid. You are paid for production, value and service. People care about what they get, not what you do. You want to find the fair exchange sweet spot. Where your client gets value and you make profit. When you work hard on the low value tasks, you actively procrastinate on doing the meaningful tasks. You need to focus on the meaningful not the menial. Service is how you make your customer and clients feel. You can overdeliver on service when you can’t compete as well on value and production.  BEST MOMENTS “What you’re gonna get here is overarching, overriding principles”  “I’m not saying it’s fair. You don’t g

Rob is joined in this episode by the original WAG, Lizzie Cundy! They talk all about media, networking and the highs and lows of being in the public eye. Lizzie also delves deep into her thoughts on the ‘Wagatha Christie’ debacle, the Depp –vs- Heard case and why she thinks the Harry and Megan interview was disrespectful and wrong. KEY TAKEAWAYS Being a WAG was aspirational and attainable, this is why WAG’s sold papers. They became stars in their own right and people wanted to know all about their lives. Lizzie believes the change she has seen in the past 30 years in media has been largely a positive thing by allowing more opportunities for more people. However, Lizzie is very against the current ‘woke’ culture and what she calls the fun police. Lizzie believes in freedom of speech and doesn’t think this should be restricted just because some people may take offence. You still need an agent in the world of media. To protect yourself and to stop yourself being used. Lizzie found offering people help a

Work from home is career suicide! Rob knows this isn’t a popular opinion, but felt it was about time he was honest about his thoughts and opinions around working from home. Join him in this episode to learn about the real cost to working from home and why everyone needs to wake up in the UK and get back to the office! KEY TAKEAWAYS Working from home was a good solution for lockdowns because otherwise there wouldn’t have been people working. But we are getting back to ‘normal’ now and we need to be as productive as possible to help the economy recover. At the moment, it’s an employee/candidate job market. Which means they can be a bit choosier and take more from employers. However, this will all change in the next two years when the market switches back. Individuals learn more by seeing. You learn the best and the quickest through osmosis. Being in the office allows you to be inspired by those around you. Both in terms of ideas but also in terms of your career path. You miss all of this at home. There

Rob is in good company in this episode where he and ex-premier league footballer Matt talk openly and honestly about some very controversial topics. They talk about what was behind Matt losing his job at Sky, Covid, why free speech is in danger from cancel culture and corruption as well as Matt’s career and how the world of football has changed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Matt worked with Sky for 15 years after retiring from football. He was ‘let go’ and wasn’t given a definitive reason but he believes it was due to the controversial opinions he sometimes expressed. One of these controversial opinions was when Matt refused to wear a BLM badge on air. The reason Matt was against wearing a BLM badge is because he didn’t agree with de-funding the police and the suspicions around where and how donations were being spent. He told the producers he would have supported any other anti racist charity, just not this one. Rob and Matt agree that since 2020, the world has become a very scary place; mostly due to the restrictions

Rob.team KEY TAKEAWAYS The concept of ‘the great reset’ was formed from the World Economic Forum 2 years ago in Davos 2020. These proposals were then coined into the ‘The Great Reset’. Regardless of whether the concept is a vague idea of the world changing or it’s more planned and structured than that, you need to be ready for not just the money revolution but the potential governmental and cultural changes too. You need to be de-centralised as possible, meaning you aren’t influenced by big banks, media etc. This means you have more control over all aspects of your life. Having cash is dangerous right now. You are losing more than 10% of your cash through inflation, then you have the impact of quantitative easing on top. You need to put your cash into assets
