    How to Become Impossible to Ignore Online - Tom Hunt

    Tom Hunt is the founder and CEO of Fame, the B2B podcast agency he's bootstrapped to around $4.5m ARR with 70+ full-time staff and $0 raised. Fame now starts and grows 300+ B2B podcasts around the world. Before Fame, Tom quit management consulting in 2014 and, by his own count, tried and failed with 17 businesses before one finally stuck. Those failures taught him more about attention, distribution and demand than any of the wins ever did. Today he's one of the most-watched voices in B2B marketing. A LinkedIn Top Voice, host of Confessions of a B2B Entrepreneur and Cash Machines, and the founder most other founders quietly copy the day they decide to start posting. He joins Jack and Zac for an honest, tactical chat about how to become impossible to ignore online. How to build a personal brand that actually generates pipeline instead of vanity likes, why most founder content gets scrolled past, what B2B podcasting really does for a sales team, and how he built a 70-person company without a penny of outside money.

    How One Founder Took On Liquid Death and Won

    Josh White is the co-founder and CEO of Cano Water, the UK drinks brand that helped pioneer canned water as an alternative to single-use plastic bottles. The idea was born after a trip to Thailand with friends, where he witnessed the scale of plastic pollution firsthand — a moment that turned into a mission and, eventually, a business. Before water, Josh ran an events company bringing together some of the biggest names in grime and electronic music across the UK. In this episode, Josh joins Jack and Zac for a candid conversation about building Cano Water from an idea people initially dismissed into one of the UK’s fastest-growing drinks brands, the reality of bootstrapping a physical product business, and how his own personal struggles growing up shaped the way he leads and builds today.

    The Brutal Reality Of Building A Business To Sell - James Ashford

    How to sell your business: James Ashford built GoProposal from a WordPress plugin and exited to Sage. This is the full story. For founders, agency owners and accountants who want a business that runs, grows and sells without them. James Ashford turned a pricing problem in one accountancy firm into GoProposal, software that let the most junior team member price and sell complex services in under five minutes. In this episode he answers the questions every founder types into Google at 2am: how do I know if I have a business or just a job? How do you actually sell a software company? And what happens to your mental health after the exit? He also opens up about the breakdown that followed the sale, and the inner child work that rebuilt him.

    The Cold Calling Blueprint Making Millions on LinkedIn - Sean McPheat

    In this episode, we sit down with Sean McPheat, Founder and CEO at MTD Training and Skillshub for one of the most brutally honest, emotionally raw, and strategically revealing conversations about what it really takes to survive 25 years in business, why a Tony Robbins weekend walking across hot coals convinced him to quit his £100k corporate job at age 29, and why most people fail in entrepreneurship because they go into it half pregnant instead of fully committing to the fight. We reveal why just because you're good at something doesn't mean you'll be good at leading a business doing that thing, why decorators and painters are brilliant at their craft but terrible at answering emails and sending invoices, and why the acid test question for entrepreneurship is whether you want to be old looking back with regret about all the things you didn't do.

    The Ugly Truth: is Samuel Leeds Scamming You?

    In this episode, we dive into Samuel Leeds, property entrepreneur and course creator, for one of the most divisive, brutally honest, and strategically revealing conversations about whether he's a legitimate property investor helping people build wealth or a course selling shyster using rage bait and fear mongering to drive clicks and sales. We break down his viral content teaching kids how to buy houses with the bank's money, why flying his children in economy while he sits in first class sparked outrage across the internet, and whether that's actually good parenting or just another algorithmic stunt designed to boost impressions when engagement drops. You'll hear why his appearance on the Gary Economics documentary raised questions about his sales tactics, why telling people to take out loans they can't afford to buy property courses is dangerous advice that Gary Economics was right to call out, and why those that can do and those that can't teach. We reveal why AI scaremongering has become the new FOMO marketing tactic creating urgency around property investment, why claiming your investment properties will hold value when AI takes everyone's jobs ignores the reality that nobody will have money to buy houses if the economy collapses, and why people need to stop being sold on fear and start engaging the rational part of their brain before taking out loans that put strain on their families. You'll hear why Samuel's social media strategy feels all over the place, why his networking content of a nervous 17 year old trying to find investors at a party is bizarre, and why ethical sales means giving people the bad news upfront instead of getting them excited in the moment only for remorse to hit them later. We leave you with one challenge: post a picture of Samuel Leeds and ask Samuel, are you from Leeds, tag us in the comments, and the first person to do it wins 500 pounds while the second person gets the mystery prize.

    Gary Stevenson is Lying, Here's the Proof! - Kent Bray

    In this episode, we sit down with Kent Bray, former Citibank trader and therapeutic counselor, for one of the most brutally honest, emotionally raw, and strategically revealing conversations about what it really takes to survive in the trading world, why cocaine addiction nearly destroyed everything he built, and why the man who sat beside Gary Stevenson every day says parts of that viral city backstory aren't true. We break down the reality of trading at one of the world's biggest banks, why losing $5 million in a day taught Kent more about resilience than any win ever could, and why the best traders have an innate ability to disseminate information with perfect timing and conviction that separates them from everyone else. You'll hear why Kent made $34 million one year after being down to zero at six months because he was doing three grams of cocaine every morning, why he made $4 million over a weekend by accident while doing coke in his apartment overlooking the Thames, and why colleagues started asking if he had cancer or AIDS because he'd lost so much weight. Kent reveals why Gary Stevenson's claim of being the most profitable trader globally at Citibank isn't truthful according to WhatsApp messages he still has, why Gary sat on a million dollar seat doing nothing after falling out with the bank over unvested stock, and why being genuine and authentic matters more than any cause when you're building credibility. You'll hear why Kent went from 90 kilograms to 63 kilograms as a raging drug addict doing 20 to 30 grams a week, why he's now nine years eight months clean and sober helping professional men who feel like there's no one to talk to, and why his greatest achievement isn't what he achieved but what he overcame. We reveal why a wealth tax would absolutely devastate the UK through intellectual property and wealth migration, why millionaires don't like free handouts because they worked their guts out for everything they have, and why penalising success instead of rewarding it sends a horrible message to entrepreneurs. Kent leaves us with two powerful questions: what's your dream and why aren't you going for it, and where does truth sit in amongst your cause?
