  • JB is a legend!

    JB you are beyond impressive. I listened to you for a long time on the James Sinclair podcast. You were the making of that show! Without you, it’s a shadow of its former self. I love this podcast. It’s just what we all needed. And I’m so pleased to see how fast you’re making waves in the entrepreneurship podcast space. You make my full support to make it to No.1!!!

  • How dull is Rob moore

    A good podcast. Juliet Barrett grenade. Great.

    But Rob Moore. “How great am I. I have so much money and so many followers. I love myself”. Well done. If success is measured by money and followers, you’ve done well.

    If it’s measured by being a nice empathetic modest kind person….

    I agree with a lot that he says, but geez isn’t he just so great. Yawn

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Repossession To £1.9 Million Launch: Caroline Strawson On Narcissistic Abuse, Debt & Repossession To Building The UK's Fast-Growing Franchise
Q: How did your personal experience shape the business you built?
My traumatic experiences highlighted the missing piece in trauma healing—it's not just psychology but physiology. That realization led me to retrain, develop somatic approaches, and eventually create a franchise and certification model that scales trauma-informed leadership.
Built & Sold A Multi-Million Tech Startup In Just 3 Years: Karolina Pelc Made A Fortune Without Luck!
Q: How did you shift from being a casino dealer to a tech founder with a globally scaled product?
I leveraged deep industry insight, built credibility through strategic advisors, pursued early investment, and pivoted from a difficult, complex product to a revenue-generating solution that could sustain growth while the core vision matured.
Built & Sold A Multi-Million Tech Startup In Just 3 Years: Karolina Pelc Made A Fortune Without Luck!
Q: What do you think did get you here, if luck wasn't the driver?
Hard work and a pattern of relentless effort, combined with a willingness to reassess, pivot, and learn from every setback. I traced my journey and identified the recurring element as hustle with intentional boundaries.
PREVIEW: How Do You Build a £50M Business & Property Empire... James Martin Reveals All
Q: So where did you learn this from?
The guest implies a lack of formal training or clear mentors, indicating learning emerged from real-world trials, mistakes, and practical hard-won lessons.
He Got Ripped Off For Millions But Still Built a £50M+ Property & Business Empire - James Martin On Dyslexia, Shame and Making A Fortune
Q: What lessons would you give founders about selling a business and deciding when to buy back or pivot?
He highlights the emotional and strategic complexity of a sale. The first exit taught him to delegate and reduce personal risk, while the second exit and subsequent buyback demonstrated that staying aligned with life goals and market opportunities matters more than maximal short-term gain. The key is to ensure the business model still fits the entrepreneur's desired lifestyle and future plans.
