No highlight reel. Six figures in ARR, pushing seven, with the goal of eight — and every expensive lesson it took to get here.

At 20, Cameron England built his agency entirely on paid ads. No organic, no posting. $50–100 a day in, clients at around $400, $1,000 up front and $1,000 every month after that.

"I don't want to be right, I just want to make money."

He started posting at 15 documenting a business he hadn't built yet, spent four years in the trenches running a marketing agency for medical clinics, and now runs a second business teaching agency owners the same path.

This one is about the mechanics. Why he dropped cold outbound the moment he learned paid. Why organic is what Darren calls "business on easy mode" — and why Cameron thinks depending on either paid or organic alone is a mistake. What actually broke when he poured money into ads: fulfilment, hiring, all of it.

If you're running an agency or a coaching business and you're stuck deciding instead of doing, this one's for you.

Most people build a business anyone can copy. This 22-year-old built the opposite.

James Galligan runs A Players Club, a European members club he's taken city to city across the continent, on a tour he openly expects to lose six figures on this year. On purpose. Because the trust it builds in person is something no funnel, no ad, and no competitor can replicate.

We got into how he thinks: the "Rockefeller Move", the one needle-mover you make once a year that changes everything. Why he believes you don't find your differentiator, you accept it. How he used his own members as the "bridge" to scale across five European markets that each buy completely differently. The character he built at 17 to become who he wanted to be. And why he's playing a "decade game" while everyone else chases the next viral spike.

We also broke down the sales-commission tweak most teams get wrong, why brand is really about durability, and what we're building together at A Players and Aura.

If you're trying to build something that lasts, not something that peaks, start here.

From the first message…
To the $4.2M run…

What Steve revealed shocked me.
- ⁠How the partnership actually started
- Why he funded the entire operation
- ⁠The moment the business exploded (and when things started to go wrong)

He laid out the full details.

This wasn’t random internet drama. This was a breakdown of what really happened.

This is the first time Steve has ever told the entire story in one place.
Just raw from his seat, and the lessons every entrepreneur needs to hear.
If you want the full picture, not the internet version…

For two years… nobody actually knew what happened between Steve Tan and Luke Belmar.
Just rumors. Screenshots. Half-stories.

So I flew to Kuala Lumpur.
Sat down with Steve.
Turned the cameras on.

And I asked him to walk me through everything…
From the first message…
To the $4.2M run…

What Steve revealed shocked me.

Asking Rory Sutherland what actually grows a business… 


Most founders get this completely backwards.


They obsess over sales tactics…


And completely neglect marketing.


But the truth is:

Sales and marketing aren’t separate.


They’re one system that feeds your entire business.

  • Marketing pulls attention.
  • Sales converts it.
  • Customer experience keeps them.


We break down how overdelivering in your marketing eliminates most sales objections before they even show up.


Because the reality is:

  • The best marketing manufactures perceived value BEFORE the sale.
  • The best sales process simply monetizes trust already created.
  • And the best retention happens because you delivered real value.


You don't need a 47-step sales funnel.


You need world-class positioning, a clear message, and an offer that solves a real problem.


This episode goes deep on how to:

  • Create demand BEFORE you ever sell
  • Build surface area so luck compounds
  • Make your sales process almost automatic
  • Retain clients through actual delivery, not promises


This is the game for anyone serious about scaling in 2025.

Do you really need sales calls to grow a 7-figure coaching business?

In my latest episode with Taki Moore, we challenge the traditional model.

He’s built a $37M coaching business without relying on sales calls, complex funnels, or endless nurture.

Instead, he focuses on:

- Marketing that builds desire before you pitch
- Offers that close silently using a simple Google Doc
- Systems that prioritize leverage, not burnout
- Building “brandwidth” so people are ready to buy before you speak

This isn’t about being anti-sales call.

It’s about asking a better question:

What if your marketing was strong enough that you didn’t need one?

The #1 reason your online business isn’t growing has nothing to do with strategy.

It’s that you’re building something you’re not aligned with.

You’re selling something that doesn’t feel true.
You’re scaling something that drains you.

And it shows in your content, your energy, your results.

Most people don’t have a strategy problem.

They have an alignment problem.
They’re copying what they think works.
They’re forcing offers that feel off.
They’re chasing outcomes without ever stopping to ask what they actually want.

And the answer isn’t to push harder.

The answer is to slow down, get clear, and build from who you are, not what everyone else is doing.

This new episode with Paul Daley breaks it all down.

Founder, entrepreneur, friend and someone who’s built everything by being ruthlessly honest with himself.

We talk about:
– Why most programs never scale
– Why people burn out chasing someone else’s vision
– And how alignment builds momentum that brute force never can

Most men never learn how to lead.

They build businesses without a backbone.

They chase money without principles.

They call themselves founders without ever taking real ownership.

In my latest podcast with George Armstrong—a father, coach, and friend—we unpack what it actually means to lead with discipline, responsibility, and integrity.

We talk about: 
→ The weight men carry in silence
→ The trauma most never process
→ The power of looking in the mirror and rebuilding who you are
→ Why true leadership starts with personal responsibility—not external wins

George doesn’t teach anything he hasn’t lived.

He’s walked through grief, addiction, loss, fatherhood, and business—all while taking full responsibility for every step.

And if you’re building a business, a brand, or even just trying to be a better person—this one will hit hard.

Because at the end of the day: 
Leadership isn’t about running a team. 

It’s about taking ownership of your life.

Most entrepreneurs never scale…

Not because of strategy.

But because of something much deeper.

They read every book. Buy every course. Push harder. Grind longer.

But still feel stuck.

Why?

Because you can’t out-market the internal work.

That’s the truth Ryan Moresby-White dropped on our latest episode of Kickoff Sessions.

This isn’t about journaling and candles.

It’s about removing the emotional ceiling that’s quietly capping your business.

The men Ryan works with aren’t weak.

They’re dangerous.

But they’ve had to heal the boy inside — the one chasing validation, running from pain, building from scarcity.

Only then can you build a business with actual power, peace, and presence.



In this episode, we talk about:

  • Healing as leverage, not therapy
  • Emotional mastery for leadership
  • Balancing energy without losing your edge
  • Rewiring the internal blueprint driving your business
  • Scaling yourself so your business can scale with you

If you’ve hit a ceiling in your biz, it’s not your strategy—it’s your state.

Fix the internal game, and the external results will follow.

Most guys are told to “just be nice” and “work harder.”

But that advice is ruining their relationships.

In this episode, we sat down with  @EntrepreneursInCars   — author of The Unplugged Alpha and one of the most influential voices in men’s self-development — to talk about why so many entrepreneurs sabotage their love lives without even realizing it.

Richard breaks down the uncomfortable truth:
- Why high achievers attract the wrong partners
- How losing frame kills desire
- What to look for (and avoid) when choosing a long-term partner
- And how to build a life that supports both business and relationships

This one’s for the founders, creators, and ambitious men who are tired of feeling like they have to choose between success and love.

If you want to build wealth without losing yourself (or your relationship), this is your playbook.

Everyone tells you to scale one product.


But the best businesses don’t stop there.


They build ecosystems.


That’s how Shan Hanif has helped people like Iman Gadzhi, Ali Abdaal & Mike Thurston build machines — not just offers.


One front-end product.

One mid-ticket program.

One high-end backend.


Plus a stack of hybrid delivery models that fuel it all.


It’s not about having 12 different businesses.


It’s about building one clear system with multiple entry points.


In this new episode with Shan, we break down exactly how to do it:

  • How to move from freelancer to ecosystem
  • How Shan helped scale experts to 7 and 8 figures
  • The hybrid model that lets you combine content, service, & product
  • And how to build a business that doesn’t rely on virality or ads


This episode is for creators and entrepreneurs who are done with “just selling one thing.”


It’s for people who want to build something that lasts.

One front-end product.

One mid-ticket program.

One high-end backend.


Plus a stack of hybrid delivery models that fuel it all.


It’s not about having 12 different businesses.


It’s about building one clear system with multiple entry points.


In this new episode with Shan, we break down exactly how to do it:

  • How to move from freelancer to ecosystem
  • How Shan helped scale experts to 7 and 8 figures
  • The hybrid model that lets you combine content, service, & product
  • And how to build a business that doesn’t rely on virality or ads


This episode is for creators and entrepreneurs who are done with “just selling one thing.”


It’s for people who want to build something that lasts.

Most people build a business that caps at $10K/mo.


Brook Hiddink built a business that does over $2 million/month.


The difference?


He didn’t just create a coaching offer.


He built an ecosystem that drives revenue.


This isn’t the game most people are playing.


Most online business owners are selling overpriced info, begging for likes, and stuck fulfilling 1:1 calls.


Meanwhile Brook built a scalable system that brings in cold traffic, sells high-ticket, delivers results at speed, and scales with almost no friction.


And here’s the truth:

You can literally steal his model.

We just dropped a full breakdown on the podcast.


You’ll see exactly:

– How he gets 3x better client results than anyone else

– How he makes his competitors irrelevant overnight

– How to build a real backend that drives revenue constantly

– and how to set up a content + offer machine that does the heavy lifting for you

Most people think they have a sales problem.

They don’t.

They have a communication problem.

The ability to speak clearly, move people, and drive action.

This will make or break your business.

Look at the best in the world:

Steve Jobs. Barack Obama. Tony Robbins.

They don’t just speak.

They move rooms.

They sell vision.
They sell ideas.
They sell outcomes.

If you can’t communicate clearly:
- You can’t sell.
- You can’t lead.
- You can’t scale.

I sat down with my public speaking coach and friend, Michael Campion, to break this down.

How to improve your communication.

How to become more persuasive.

How to grow your business through better language.

We put together a step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to dominate sales through better communication.

Most content isn’t built to make money.

It’s built to go viral.

And that’s why most creators stay broke.

In 2025, content needs to do more than just get views.

It needs to build trust, attract leads, and convert into real revenue.

That’s exactly what I sat down to break down with Jun Yuh.

This guy has built an audience of 8M+ followers across platforms—without relying on trends, cheap tactics, or going viral.

We got into:

  • The system behind consistent, profitable content
  • Why most creators never break past $10K/month
  • How to structure your content ecosystem to drive revenue
  • The mindset shifts you need to actually scale online

This isn’t theory.

It’s what’s working right now.

For creators with millions of followers and business owners, using content to scale.

You’re sleeping on LinkedIn.

Even if you’re posting every single day, you’re still letting leads slip through.

You’re doing the hard stuff:
- Scripting content
- Finding funky hooks
- Posting consistently

But something’s off. 

You’re not turning leads into customers.

That’s where Matt Lakajev’s Sell-by-Chat strategy comes in.

Matt has booked thousands of meetings and closed millions in revenue—through DMs alone.

The crazy part?  You don’t even need content to get started.

If your Stripe account looks dead and you’re tired of chasing leads, this 90-minute episode with Matt will change how you think about sales forever.

We recorded this live in Bali, and it’s filled with everything you need to know about sales, psychology, and turning conversations into cash.

Most people overcomplicate getting started.

They think they need:

  • A huge audience
  • Fancy branding
  • Some genius business idea

They’re wrong.

You need one thing: To solve a painful problem for a specific person that’s easy to find online.

In the latest Kickoff Sessions, Adam Power breaks down a step-by-step roadmap to hitting $10K-$20K/month online.

Here’s the playbook:

  • Pick a high-value skill (ads, copy, automation, client acquisition)
  • Package it into a simple offer (charge for outcomes, not tasks)
  • Find your first 5-10 clients (cold outreach + organic content)
  • Deliver results & retain clients (low churn = high profit)
  • Stack cash before scaling (get to $10K/month first)

Most people stay stuck because they:

  • Never put in the reps
  • Focus on learning instead of doing
  • Chase shiny objects instead of doubling down

Adam’s 7-10 rule will change how you work.

If you’re tired of watching others win while you overthink—this is the exact roadmap you need.

Lara Acosta built a business that hit seven figures in record time.

From the outside, it looked perfect:

  • The money was flowing
  • The audience was growing
  • Everything she worked for had finally materialized

But inside?

It felt completely different.

She found herself buried in pressure.

The systems she built to create freedom started feeling like traps. And the success she thought would bring fulfillment came with heavier sacrifices.

We talked about the reality of scaling—something no one tells you:

  • The emotional weight of running a fast-growing business
  • The trade-offs you have to make to sustain the growth
  • The personal sacrifices no one sees

It’s not the fairy tale of overnight success. It’s what happens when the business you built begins to own you instead of the other way around.

Here’s what Lara realized:

  • Scaling doesn’t fix everything; it amplifies everything.
  • You have to stay in control of your systems—because if you don’t, they’ll control you.
  • The most successful entrepreneurs are the ones who constantly refine, adapt, and make space to breathe.

If you’re chasing seven figures, ask yourself:

Are you building something that works for you?

Or something that will consume you?

This podcast is the most personal, raw, and honest conversation we’ve had.

It’s about what really happens behind the scenes of success—and what it takes to get your life back while keeping the growth.

Wealth isn’t just money.

You don’t want to be the richest person in the graveyard.

Or the guy squeezing out of a sports car, burnt out and alone.

True wealth is multidimensional.

I sat down with Sahil Bloom in NYC to dive into his five pillars of wealth:

  1. Freedom: The ability to control your time and priorities.
  2. Mental Clarity: A focused mind beats a scattered one every time.
  3. Physical Health: Without health, nothing else matters.
  4. Relationships: The real currency of life.
  5. Financial Security: A foundation, not the whole story.


Sahil shared why staying in the game is the ultimate lever for success—and how compounding time and effort can create exponential results in every area of life.

This isn’t just about Stripe balances or bank accounts.

It’s about creating a life worth living.

Most creators fail before they even start.

Why?

Because they jump straight into creating content without a clear premise, strategy, or system.

This week, I sat down with Jay Clouse for my second Dubai podcast. (And my second podcast with Jay.)

Here’s what we broke down:
- How to build a profitable content business in 2025
- Create a repeatable system that turns content into revenue
- Avoid the #1 mistake keeping creators stuck in the hustle

What we covered:
- Your premise is your foundation.
- If your content isn’t legible, interesting, and differentiated, you’ll struggle to stand out in the sea of creators.
- Non-linear returns.
- One well-executed piece of content can deliver a 10X or even 100X impact.
- It’s not about creating more content—it’s about creating smarter content.
- Focus on transformation, not just value.
- Your content should solve real problems and create tangible results for your audience—not just add more noise.

Jay shared why most creators fail to gain traction and revealed the systems he’s built to scale his content and community without burning out.

Dakota Robertson didn’t build a $1M business by going viral—he did it by mastering the fundamentals.

He built a system that works—and stuck to it.

In our conversation, he shared the exact steps he took to go from barely making ends meet to running a million-dollar writing business by 27.

Most writers focus on the wrong things:
- Trying to appeal to everyone instead of a specific audience
- Writing without a simple goal or system
- Being afraid to sell their work

But Dakota kept it simple and focused on what matters:
- Clarity
- Solving specific problems
- Consistency in execution

Here’s what we covered in the episode:
- How Dakota turned tweets into long-term revenue
- The unsexy habits: discipline and iteration
- How to find niches that pay—even with a small audience
- Why selling is a skill—and how writing builds trust
- Why solving problems beats entertaining every time

This isn’t just a conversation about writing—it’s a roadmap for freedom.

Freedom to work anywhere.

Freedom to grow without limits.

Freedom to turn your ideas into income.

If you want to learn how to write online and build a business that lasts, this is the episode for you.

Dakota Robertson didn’t build a $1M business by going viral—he did it by mastering the fundamentals.

He built a system that works—and stuck to it.

In our conversation, he shared the exact steps he took to go from barely making ends meet to running a million-dollar writing business by 27.

Most writers focus on the wrong things:
- Trying to appeal to everyone instead of a specific audience
- Writing without a simple goal or system
- Being afraid to sell their work

But Dakota kept it simple and focused on what matters:
- Clarity
- Solving specific problems
- Consistency in execution

Here’s what we covered in the episode:
- How Dakota turned tweets into long-term revenue
- The unsexy habits: discipline and iteration
- How to find niches that pay—even with a small audience
- Why selling is a skill—and how writing builds trust
- Why solving problems beats entertaining every time

This isn’t just a conversation about writing—it’s a roadmap for freedom.

Freedom to work anywhere.

Freedom to grow without limits.

Freedom to turn your ideas into income.

If you want to learn how to write online and build a business that lasts, this is the episode for you.

The content game is rigged—and most people are playing it wrong.

You’ve been told to:
- Chase trends
- Post daily
- Go viral

That’s why 99% of creators fail.

What actually works?

The boring stuff.

The systems, the consistency, the strategy.

It’s what made me over $2M online—
- Without going viral
- Without a massive audience
- Without wasting time on trends that die in months

In this video, I break down the Content Growth Flywheel—the only system that turns content into a real business in 2025.

Here’s what I cover:
- Why most creators will never make money (and how to avoid their mistakes)
- How to grow sustainable while posting less
- The one mindset shift that separates broke creators from six-figure businesses
- How to monetize fast—even with a small audience

Most people won’t do this in 2025.

They’ll keep chasing viral clips while others quietly dominate with systems that actually work.

You’ve been lied to by internet gurus.

You don’t need to go viral. You don’t need millions of followers. You don’t need ten years of experience.

You just need to solve real problems.

Most creators fail because they chase attention instead of trust.

Here’s the only way to build wealth with content in 2025:

  • Solve one painful, specific problem.
  • Deliver massive free value through long-form content.
  • Show up consistently so your audience sees you as the expert.
  • Create an offer that solves the rest of their problem.

Why this works?

People don’t care how many followers you have. They care if you can solve their problem.

Podcasts, YouTube, and long-form content are trust-building machines. They position you as the go-to expert faster than chasing trends ever will.

In my latest video, I break down how to:

  • Grow a content business without a big audience.
  • Build trust that makes selling effortless.
  • Turn content into dollars in 2025.

The ones who win this year won’t be the ones chasing virality. They’ll be the ones solving actual problems.

Not many people know this, but Pat Flynn is the reason I started my podcast.

Back in 2020, I was broke, clueless, and desperate for a way out, I bought a $60 microphone. 

That mic? It came from an affiliate link on Pat Flynn’s website.

I binged watched every piece of content Pat had:

  • How to start a podcast
  • The best mics and software
  • Editing tools I’d never used before

Fast forward to 2025, and I just recorded episode 258 of my podcast—with Pat Flynn himself.

In this episode, Pat shares the lessons, failures, and surprises from 15 years of building online businesses—including generating over $10M in revenue.

We talk about:

  • How he built and grew Deep Pocket Monster to 1M subscribers
  • The importance of emotional connection in your content
  • Why small, vibrant communities are the future of business
  • The reality of staying relevant in a changing landscape

Is it blind luck? Or the compounding effect of 15 years in the game?

Pat breaks it all down.

I’ve discovered the best business to start in 2025.

It’s not rug-pulling meme coins. It’s not the latest AI tool. It’s not dropshipping

It’s building a business around content.

Creators like Alex Hormozi, Steven Bartlett, and Ali Abdaal have built empires by doing one thing exceptionally well.

Owning their voice.
In 2025, attention isn’t enough. Algorithms change, going “Viral” isn’t a strategy—it’s a gamble, ads stop working the moment you stop paying.

The game is trust.

Podcasts, YouTube, and long-form content are your greatest points of leverage because they:
- Build deep, parasocial relationships
- Convert trust into long-term revenue
- Establish you as the authority in your niche

In this video, I break down:
- Why content businesses will dominate 2025
- How to start with no audience or budget
- The exact system I used to go from $10K in debt to running Voics

2025 is the year to stop chasing trends.

Why do some products fail while others get you hooked for life?

It’s not just the technology or the marketing. 

It’s the habits they create:  
- Why do we check our phones 150+ times a day?
- How do businesses like TikTok and Duolingo dominate user attention?
- What makes us keep coming back?

These are the principles that build world-changing products. 

Nir Eyal, author, lecturer, and investor known for his bestselling book, Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products’, breaks it all down for us in the episode of Kickoff Sessions

Nir has influenced how tech giants design their most engaging platforms and shared his insights into the psychology of habits, retention, and persuasion.

Why do some products fail while others get you hooked for life?

It’s not just the technology or the marketing. 

It’s the habits they create:  
- Why do we check our phones 150+ times a day?
- How do businesses like TikTok and Duolingo dominate user attention?
- What makes us keep coming back?

These are the principles that build world-changing products.

- How to ethically create habit-forming products 
- The future of AI and mass customization

Is there a secret method to building a loyal tribe?

To build a creator business, you don't need millions of followers or widespread fame.

Instead, you can actually make a decent living by cultivating a smaller group of highly dedicated supporters—your "1000 True Fans."

In this episode of Kickoff Sessions, we’re back with Louis Armstong and Tom Spark as they go deep on how to build your tribe and turn ‘1,000 True Fans’ into your greatest asset.

Discover how Louis transformed his life by going sober for 200 days, and how he now leads 120 people in the Creator Club with a focus on building genuine connections and delivering pure value. Tom adds his perspective on the power of emotional release, how many use substances to cope, and how to develop a healthier relationship with vices. 

We also dive into the reality of balancing business with personal well-being, discussing how responsibility in both realms can lead to deeper fulfillment and growth. 

With a raw, honest take on relationships, personal growth, and the long game of success, this conversation will inspire you to embrace vulnerability and focus on what truly matters—building a community that believes in you.

Why Are Men Becoming Weaker By the Day? 

We get down to the core of this problem that has plagued modern society as we sit down with Michael Sartain, founder of MOA Mentoring and host of “The Michael Sartain Show”. Michael’s goal is to teach men how to become more desirable, forge elite networks and live a high-status lifestyle. 

Today, he breaks down exactly how you can live this life and reveals the truth behind the decline of masculinity. 

We navigate the complexities of male identity, societal expectations, and the shifting dynamics of gender roles. We also explore modern challenges in dating and relationships, declining testosterone levels and the role of wealth & status in a man's life. 

From the impact of historical events to the influence of technology, we uncover the reality behind the rise of weak men in modern society.

In this episode, Jordan shares his insights on human behavior from his experiences in North Korea, revealing how actions can end suffering and the challenges of shedding his lawyer identity. He delves into his pursuit of a life of meaning, discussing the interplay between curiosity and 'shiny penny syndrome', his experiences with kidnapping, and the origins of his fascination with North Korea.

Jordan also sheds light on the common misconceptions about building relationships and the key traits that have enabled him to forge meaningful connections. We explore his networking philosophy, including techniques like 'Gmail roulette', the importance of 'digging the well before you're thirsty', and his approach to engaging with influencers and celebrities.

The conversation then shifts to the growth of his show, “The Jordan Harbinger Show”, where Jordan reveals his strategies for cultivating a dedicated fan base and differentiating between casual listeners and true followers. We also explore his rebellious nature and tendency to question conventional wisdom, highlighting how these traits have shaped the themes and discussions on his podcast.

We further delve into the nuances of persuasion, confidence, and maturity, examining the thin line between persuasion and manipulation, the development of confidence, and the impact of social dynamics on individuals. Jordan provides guidance on finding clarity and direction in life, emphasizing the role of travel and practical steps for young people.

Shifting gears, we delve into the broader implications of government regulations on sectors like medical, finance, and AI, highlighting the contrast between the rapid advancements in countries like China compared to the regulatory hurdles in the U.S. We also explore the profound impact of media on shaping societal perceptions, the vital role of having credible information, and the evolving landscape of truths in our modern world. We also discuss the unique challenges startups face, the art of assessing investments, and the ever-growing realm of podcasting.

We discuss the role of persistence and grit in pursuing significant goals and how embracing discomfort can lead to personal growth. We also touch on wealth and happiness, including exceptions like using wealth for charity, and reflect on the impact of earning versus giving money.

Richard Cooper is known for cutting through the BS and delivering the cold hard truth on many topics. Including financial services and intersexual dynamics between men and women.

In our society today, we see a weakening of the Western male, made clear in media, Hollywood, and even ingrained in our school systems. Throughout this episode, we confront these issues head-on.

Anchored in personal experiences with major life events like the 2008-2009 financial crisis, the intricacies of divorce, and the rise of single-parent households, we unpack the profound impact these have on one’s professional and personal decisions. 

We discuss the importance of controlling our emotions, maintaining focus, and setting boundaries. Richard touches on the new wave of promiscuity and the potential dangers posed by platforms like OnlyFans. We lay out the red flags to watch out for in relationships and money matters. Finally, we delve into the pitfalls of alcohol consumption and the crucial role of personal responsibility.

In the last episode of our Dubai series, I sit down with Justin Waller, CEO and founder of a leading metal building company. In his early twenties, Justin started his steel company from scratch with no financial support or commercial projects. He began by constructing modest backyard sheds with just a pickup truck.

By the age of 28, Justin had transformed his idea into a multi-million-dollar enterprise. Specialising in the construction of large-scale commercial buildings across the USA.

Justin is now committed to helping young men with the skills and tools they need to thrive in today’s society.

In the first episode of the Dubai series, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sadia Khan, a relationship coach therapist who is professionally trained in helping people build better relationships. She helps individuals and couples to improve their communication, intimacy, and conflict resolution skills to help them reconnect.

During our conversation, Sadia shared her insights on the brutal truth about modern relationships, including leading indicators to divorce, setting boundaries in a relationship, managing friendships and relationships, and the impact of social media on beauty standards and competition among men. We also delved into the topics of OnlyFans, the red pill community, and the psychological impact of having multiple partners.

We also explored her views on whether marriage is necessary, why women want to fix the ‘bad guy,’ and whether females only want men with money. In addition, Sadia shared her thoughts on what men and women find attractive, the role of a man in a relationship, and whether everyone should have children.

Ned has over 30 years of experience in the financial industry, and he shared with us his insights and experiences as an entrepreneur and investor.

During our conversation, Ned talked about his journey from being one of the first online brokers to founding Bambu in 2016. He discussed the challenges of building a successful startup and emphasised the importance of creating valuable content, building authority and trust with customers, and selling outcomes, not output.

Ned also shared his thoughts on the “perfect founder story” and “entrepreneur porn” that dominate the startup world, and how aspiring entrepreneurs can overcome these challenges. He believes in hard work, persistence, and the ability to learn from failure.

Outside of work, Ned is an ultra-marathon and ironman athlete who enjoys learning how to think about nothing. He also talked about his experiences working with high-profile investors and entrepreneurs like Jack Ma and Kevin O’Leary, and his TED Talk on the Power of Now.

Cassie’s research has been widely published in lead academic journals and featured in such outlets as NPR, the Economist, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Atlantic, and the Washington Post.

‘Happier Hour: How to Beat Distraction, Expand Your Time, and Focus on What Matters Most’ is her first book. Our most precious resource isn’t money. It’s time. Everyone is allotted just twenty-four hours a day, and we live in a culture that keeps us feeling “time poor.” Since we can’t add more hours to the day, how can we experience our lives as richer?

Based on her wildly popular MBA class at UCLA, Professor Cassie Holmes shows how to improve our lives by changing how we perceive and invest our time. Our podcast provides empirically based insights and easy-to-implement tools that will allow you to spend your hours and feel confident in those choices, sidestep distractions, create and savour moments of joy, design your schedule with purpose and look back on your years without regrets.

In this episode of Kickoff Sessions, Thomas Maw (@TMCycles) a highly regarded bodybuilder, online coach, fitness entrepreneur, and YouTuber, returns for an in-depth discussion about his transition out of bodybuilding.

Tom has been in the fitness industry for over a decade, providing expert training, nutrition, and advice to his TMCycles Membership site subscribers. He has an abundance of knowledge to share, and we dive into the details of his transition from bodybuilding to other areas of fitness. This change wasn’t just physical, but also emotional and psychological. We explore how it affected Tom’s sense of identity, confidence, and how he coped with the change.

We discuss the difficulties Tom faced as he navigated through this change, including reaching rock bottom, feeling uncomfortable, and experiencing burnout. However, Tom found his why and bounced back.

Tom’s body also underwent significant changes during this journey, and we delve into the physical and psychological effects of those changes. He opens up about how these changes affected his business, and how he positioned himself for long-term success.

To help others simplify their self-development journey, Tom recently launched Metflow, a 50-day challenge that provides expert advice and coaching to keep participants accountable. This challenge helps individuals take control of their lives and reach their goals.

He was the founder of a group of 6-7 figure online DTC websites and brands. The brands focused on drop-shipping, which allowed him to start with £50 while working in a burger bar at university. His last ever formal ‘job’. He scaled this up to a few million in revenue while travelling the world full time between 2017 and 2019.

After that, he founded Midnight City, the jewellery brand. He saw an opportunity in the UK market and built the brand from scratch to over £5m in combined revenue in 2.5 years. He exited the business in 2021.

In 2021, he founded Neon Beach, a LED neon brand. Matt created the brand to solve his own consumer problem. In only one year, grew to over £7m in revenue from a laptop with a remote team of 40+ designers overseas. He ran into crippling supply chain problems in early 2021.

Now, he's back building Space Goods, the next generation wellness brand.

In 2010, a fall from a second-story window nearly killed him. Now he is on a new expedition, this time to cure paralysis in our lifetime by exploring the intersection where humans and technology collide.

He has worked as a futures trader to institutional clients, the first technical analyst of NatWest and part of the first team within NatWest to understand and teach applications of options trading. Mark subsequently went on to become the director of EMEA business development at RBS and a lead driver of RBS futures corporate strategy.

In the latter stages of his career, Mark became more and more fascinated with the mental, emotional, psychological, and behavioural challenges people face when encountering risk and uncertainty in financial markets. This has resulted in him co-hosting the AlphaMind podcast, where he interviews experienced traders, investment professionals, analysts, psychologists, coaches, authors, and experts in fields relating to trading, financial markets, and risk.

With a huge surge in retail investors as of recently, I sat down with Mark to discuss the different aspects of trading and investing. From the average guy to the professional trader, what are the key principles that are required to be successful.
