  • Ep.128 Everything I Wish I Knew When I Was Starting A Business (From World-Renowned Founders of Whoop, Refy, Odd Muse etc)
    Mar 3 2025

    This week’s episode might be the one i’ve spent the most time thinking & planning ever. When i asked after our last compilation episode which ones you guys wanted, so many asked for a compilation of the best business advice from the over 120 episodes of this podcast.


    Now let me tell you that was a huge task, because when you’ve spent the last 5 years finding your favourite founders to speak to, choosing is like choosing between your dogs (or at least for me it is).


    So, if you have ever thought about running a business, you’ve just started one, you’ve been running one for a decade, or you’re just nosy about how to make loads of money working for yourself, you might enjoy the next hour, i really hope you do!

  • Ep. 127 Everything You Need To Know To Sort Out Your Finances & Make The Most Of Your Money
    Feb 24 2025

    After our New Year compilation episode about improving your life went crazy, I asked what other theme led episodes you’d like, and SO many of you said finances, money moola.


    So the aim for this episode, is everything you need to know about money, and I took this as a wide definition, we’re going from literally why money exists & why they can’t print more - to saving, investing, raising funds and even some deep stuff on attitudes to money & wealth.


    This kind of stuff is something we were never every taught in school - it’s crazy to me that I know more about algebra than I do how to save & spend my own money wisely. I hope you find it useful!

  • Ep.126 How To Reset Your Routine To Be 'High Maintenance To Be Low Maintenance' with Siff Haider
    Feb 17 2025

    Siff Haider was fed up with the lack of problem-specific supplements on the market, had an idea that would solve the problem, spent her wedding savings on making it happen, made $1 million dollars in her first year, and has now seen the business grow 10 fold.


    But I’ll be honest, this isn’t just an episode about Siff’s business journey. A few months ago I became obsessed with her tiktoks on the high maintenance rules she lives by to stay low maintenance, the routines she swears by, the hot girl habits she sticks to - and so this is genuinely a case of me inviting Siff on to have a chat all about exactly that. I joked the other day in my vlog that my 2025 aim is to get hot, in all senses of the word, and if that’s something you want to do this year too - this episode is genuinely a great starting point.
