Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Myprotein Founder: No Degree, No Investors, Just Relentless Execution - Oliver Cookson
Q: What was your biggest challenge in scaling and later selling the business?
Balancing risk and growth during due diligence, resisting pressures from potential buyers, and choosing the right moment to cash out while protecting the legacy and the core team; ultimately seeking a clean, full cash deal that allowed strategic value without overexposing the founder.
Myprotein Founder: No Degree, No Investors, Just Relentless Execution - Oliver Cookson
Q: Oliver, how did you move from a kitchen‑table operation to a globally scaled brand starting with no investors?
I started with a £500 overdraft, avoided external investors entirely, and reinvested profits to grow the business step by step, focusing on owning the supply chain, maintaining control, and iterating the product and customer experience until the model proved scalable.
The Pet Entrepreneur: How To Make Millions From Your Canine Best Friend
Q: What would you do differently if you started again today?
Be bolder in the initial product and validate the market faster, aiming for bigger market reach earlier to accelerate growth.
The Pet Entrepreneur: How To Make Millions From Your Canine Best Friend
Q: Do you think university makes fundraising easier?
Yes, it can act as a stamp of approval to investors and provides a framework, but ultimately experience and execution matter more when you have traction.
The Sleep Doctor: Why You Feel Tired All the Time (Even If You Sleep 8 Hours) — Dr. Guy Leschziner
Q: What practical steps should someone take if they suspect a sleep issue?
Seek medical advice if basic, self-managed interventions fail; consider CBT-I as a first-line long-term treatment; be cautious with sleep trackers and sleeping pills, and address sleep environment and regularity.
