  • 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

James Sinclair: How To Build a £50M Business Empire, Buy Businesses & Scale Without Giving Up Equity
Q: What does the first 90 days look like when you buy a business like The Big Sheep?
He explains the approach of installing his own management team before closing the deal, paying their salaries to quickly understand the business and set up reporting, so he can be ahead of the game from day one.
How BLD BRO Built a 7-Figure DTC Skincare Brand From 250 Followers | Tariq Kazemi
Q: How did a community of followers evolve into a product-focused business?
We listened to the community's needs, polled them on product preferences (matte vs shiny), and used that feedback to guide a dedicated product development path that we owned (not white-labeled). This approach created strong product-market fit and authentic brand storytelling.
Danny Gray: From Scaling Steven Bartlett’s Diary Of A CEO To Partnering With Beta Squads’s Sharky Launching LVLS In 750 Retail Stores From Day One
Q: How did you decide to pivot from a single restaurant to a broader health and wellness platform?
It was driven by a mix of ambition, health experiences from my father, and a strategic reading of market demand. I wanted to expand beyond hospitality into products and retail, using the restaurant as a proof point to show people how nutrition can be both delicious and nourishing.
YO! Sushi Founder Simon Woodroffe: Prison, Rock ’N’ Roll, Starting At 45 & Building One Of Britain’s Most Iconic Brands
Q: What advice would you give to entrepreneurs who feel they're early to a market and might be wrong about the demand for their idea?
Trust your gut, back yourself with real knowledge, over-deliver to customers, and be prepared to pivot while maintaining authenticity and enthusiasm.
YO! Sushi Founder Simon Woodroffe: Prison, Rock ’N’ Roll, Starting At 45 & Building One Of Britain’s Most Iconic Brands
Q: How did you know sushi would work in the UK when it seemed so alien at the time?
It was a gut feeling supported by observing how American trends informed British tastes; the mystery and fascination with Japanese culture plus a strong belief in the concept drove the bet.
