The Orange Juice Theory

Kate Hewitt

For Founders, Dreamers & Builders What if a podcast wasn’t just something you listened to, but something you lived by? The Orange Juice Theory is simple: You don’t get the juice without the squeeze. Building is messy, sticky, and full of pressure, but that’s where growth happens. I’m Kate, from a tiny village in the south of Ireland. I built my first business in a horse shed and chased a dream all the way to Bali, where being 'embarrassing' helped us land a spot with Steven Bartlett & Flight Fund. This podcast is more than tools or tactics. It’s a philosophy. A framework. A movement.

    From Council Estate to 84 Tenants by 18: Julia's Seven-Figure Property Journey

    What if the only thing standing between you and financial freedom isn't your age, your background, or how much money you have right now — but the willingness to bet on yourself when no one else will? In this episode, I sit down with Julia, a 23-year-old who owns two seven-figure businesses — and she built it all from a council estate flat with neon pink walls, zero money, and a burning refusal to accept the life she was handed. Julia's story isn't about privilege or luck. It's about a 12-year-old girl Googling "how to become a millionaire" because she watched her mum work three jobs just to survive. It's about being told "no" over a thousand times and still showing up. It's about using other people's money, relentless persistence, and the kind of hunger that only comes from knowing exactly what you're running from — and exactly what you're running toward. But here's the truth most people miss:You don't need money to start.You need belief, strategy, and the willingness to do what others won't. Too many people think property investment is for the wealthy, the connected, the ones who had a head start. But Julia proves that's a lie. She started with nothing. She borrowed her mum's clothes to look like an adult. She called estate agents at 15 and got laughed at. She worked as a housekeeper and a waitress while setting up her first properties. She didn't sleep for 36 hours to furnish five Airbnbs before a holiday to Mexico. And by 18, she had 84 tenants paying her every single month. Here's what we dive into: How Julia went from a council estate to 84 tenants by age 18 — the exact steps she took from tenant-finding to property management to building her first portfolio Why getting told "no" over 1,000 times was the best thing that ever happened to her — and how she used rejection as fuel The power of using other people's money — how Julia leveraged investors to scale without risking her own capital Why you don't need money to invest in property — the strategies Julia used to get started with zero savings (subletting, deal sourcing, and guaranteed rent agreements) How she transitioned from long-term rentals to Airbnbs — and why COVID became one of her most profitable years The difference between cash flow and equity — and why understanding refinancing changed everything for her wealth-building strategy Why buying a portfolio in Scotland saved her £45K in taxes — and how to structure deals to maximize returns The 5am morning routine that got her here — and why she now wishes she'd been less intense (but also knows it was necessary) How to delegate and scale — the moment Julia realized she could be on a beach in Mexico while her team set up properties without her Why banks are already investing your money — and how you can do the same thing yourself (and keep the returns) The mindset shift that changed everything: "If I don't believe in myself, how can I expect anyone else to?" This episode is for anyone who's been told they're too young, too broke, or too inexperienced to build wealth. It's for the person who's tired of working hard and staying stuck. It's for anyone who's ever thought, "I want more, but I don't know how to get there." Because here's what Julia knows:You don't fail until you stop.You don't need permission to start.You just need to believe in yourself more than anyone else does. If Julia can go from a council estate to two seven-figure businesses by 23, what's your excuse? So ask yourself:Do I believe in myself enough to bet on me?Am I willing to hear "no" a thousand times and keep going?What would happen if I just started? Tune in, take notes, and get ready to stop waiting for permission and start building the life you deserve. P.S. Julia is living proof that your past doesn't define your future. Your decisions do. So decide.

    From 40 Failed Sales Calls to $300K Story Launches - Mastering the Art of Persistence

    What if the only thing standing between you and your first $10K, $100K, or even $300K isn't talent, strategy, or luck — but the willingness to fail 40 times before you succeed? In this episode, I sit down with Alna, a 25-year-old seven-figure entrepreneur who went from growing up in Siberia to building a business that generated $300K from a single story launch — and she did it by mastering one thing most people refuse to do: persist. Alna's story isn't about overnight success or getting lucky with one viral post. It's about 40 failed sales calls, messaging thousands of people, learning conversion rates the hard way, and never giving up — even when the evidence wasn't there yet. But here's the truth most people miss:Success isn't about avoiding failure.It's about knowing your conversion rate and doing the reps anyway. Too many people quit after their first 10 calls, their first 100 messages, their first month of posting. They think it's not working. They think it's not for them. They think other people just got lucky. But Alna breaks it all down — the exact numbers, the exact strategy, the exact mindset that took her from selling her first $1K course at 19 to running a seven-figure business before 25. Here's what we dive into: Why your first 40 sales calls might be failures — and why that's completely normal (and what to do instead of quitting) The exact conversion formulas you need to know: how many messages = how many calls = how many sales (and why understanding this changes everything) How Alna generated $300K from a story launch — the step-by-step breakdown of inbound vs outbound strategies Why outreach isn't spammy — it's strategic, and how to message people without being pushy (the exact scripts that work) The difference between giving too much value for free vs. creating irresistible offers that make people want to pay you How to find your conversion rate in anything — sales, dating, content, life — and why knowing this number is the key to never feeling stuck again Why everything is a conversion — from booking sales calls to finding a life partner — and how to apply this mindset to collapse time The power of doing more than asked — Alna's principle of always going 11/10 and how that compounds over time How to replicate proven content instead of reinventing the wheel — finding reels with 100K+ likes and recreating them to guarantee traction Why regret is worse than failure — and how to make decisions from your 80-year-old self's perspective The mindset shift that changed everything: "Everything is working out for me" — even cancelled flights, failed calls, and setbacks This episode is for anyone who's been putting in the work but not seeing results yet. It's for the person who's scared to do outreach, scared to hear "no," scared that maybe they're just not cut out for this. Because here's what Alna knows:Your conversion rate exists whether you know it or not.Success is just a numbers game.The only way to lose is to quit before you hit your number. If your conversion is 1 sale out of 100 messages, then the answer isn't to give up.The answer is to send 100 messages.And then another 100.And another. Because persistence isn't about being stubborn.It's about understanding the math and trusting the process. So ask yourself:What's my conversion rate?How many reps have I actually done?Am I quitting before I've even hit my number? Tune in, take notes, and get ready to stop making excuses and start doing the reps. P.S. Alna literally sent me an entire Google Doc before this episode with her full story, mission, and questions to help the audience as much as possible. That's the kind of person she is — someone who always does 11/10. And that's exactly why she's built what she's built. . . . ⚡️ Apply for the 1% Club to access Live Calls, Mindset Mastery and Sales training and our Social Media Playbookhttps://www.skool.com/the-1-movement-3331/about?ref=300560840e4d4922b97366b5666702d5

    From 30K to 1.4M Followers: How Meagan Built a Magnetic Personal Brand by Being Herself

    What if the only thing standing between you and 1.4 million followers isn't strategy, templates, or following what the gurus tell you to do — but the courage to stop watering yourself down and just be yourself? In this episode, I sit down with Meagan, the branding queen who went from 30K followers stuck for two years to 1.4 million in five months — not by chasing virality, not by following scripts, but by giving herself permission to show up as herself. Meagan is raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically authentic. She's built a magnetic personal brand by doing the one thing most people are terrified to do: being visible, being polarizing, and being real. But here's the truth most people miss:Going viral doesn't build a brand.Being remembered does. Too many people are stuck chasing followers, trying to please the algorithm, burning themselves out creating content that doesn't feel aligned — all while wondering why they're not converting, why they're not growing, why they feel so stuck. Meagan breaks it all down. Here's what we dive into: Why authenticity beats virality every single time — and how being yourself is the only way to build a brand that lasts The difference between having followers and having a community — and why influencers with millions of followers can still be broke How to overcome the fear of being seen — the three things Meagan reminds herself every time she's scared to post Why embarrassment is the cost of entry — and why you'd rather embarrass yourself for 10 seconds than live with regret for the rest of your life The three components of a magnetic personal brand: your contrarian take, your unique method, and your story — and how to weave them into your content Why information is cheap but how you relay it is what makes you unforgettable How Meagan went from smoking weed and ordering Uber Eats to building a six-figure business — and why pain was her biggest driver The trap of becoming an influencer — and why Meagan pivoted from brand deals and vanity metrics to purpose-driven content Why your story is your leverage — and how being vulnerable gives other people permission to do the same The power of deciding — how Meagan photoshopped a million followers onto her profile and made it happen in five months because she was delusional enough to believe she could This episode is for anyone who's been holding themselves back because they're scared to be too much, too loud, too polarizing. It's for the person who's been watering themselves down, tiptoeing around what they really want to say, playing small because they're afraid of being judged. Because here's what Meagan knows:Your weirdness is your power.Your story is your leverage.Your authenticity is your unfair advantage. When you stop trying to be like everyone else and start being unapologetically yourself, that's when people remember you. That's when they trust you. That's when they buy from you. It's not about going viral.It's about being remembered.It's about building a community that follows you no matter how much you evolve. So ask yourself:Am I watering myself down?Am I showing up as myself or as who I think I should be?What would happen if I just decided to be seen? Tune in, take notes, and get ready to stop playing small. P.S. We both made commitments at the end of this episode — on camera. A year from now, we're coming back to see if we did the damn thing. Because the only way to grow is to decide, commit, and do it scared. . . . ⚡️ Apply for the 1% Club to access Live Calls, Mindset Mastery and Sales training and our Social Media Playbookhttps://www.skool.com/the-1-movement-3331/about?ref=300560840e4d4922b97366b5666702d5

    How to Create A Frequency so Magnetic Your Desires start to chase you

    What if the only thing standing between you and your dream life isn't strategy, effort, or luck, but the frequency you're operating on? In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact framework I used to collapse time and manifest opportunities I once thought were impossible — from pitching Steven Bartlett to sitting in rooms with Rio Ferdinand and Simon Squibbs. But here's the truth most people miss:Your desires don't chase you because of how hard you work.They chase you because of who you become. Too many people are stuck focusing on the how, how am I going to get there, how will this work, how can I make this happen? But the how creates uncertainty. It keeps you in a fear-based, lack mindset. And when you operate from lack, you stay exactly where you are. Instead, you need to shift your state of being. Here's what we dive into: Why state beats strategy every single time — and how to shift yours immediately The difference between lack and abundance — and which frequency you're actually operating on right now How to identify as the highest version of yourself before you have the evidence Why gratitude and generosity are the gateway to success — and how I used them to build my business from a horseshed in rural Ireland The power of decide and detach — the framework that changed everything for me How to take aligned action instead of burning out through sheer force Why you need to stop reacting to your physical reality and start tuning into the frequency of your desires This episode is for anyone who's been pushing, grinding, and trying so hard — but still not seeing their dreams come to life. It's for the person who's been asking "how" instead of asking "who do I need to become?" Because here's what I know:When you shift your state, everything shifts.When you stop chasing and start becoming, your desires start chasing you. It's not about working harder.It's about getting onto the right frequency.It's about be, do, have — not have, do, be. So ask yourself:What frequency am I operating on right now?Am I in lack or abundance?What would the highest version of myself do today? Tune in, take notes, and get ready to collapse time. P.S. I'm running a challenge on the Orange Juice Theory podcast — if you do something scared, message us on Instagram @theorangejuicetheory and we'll post it as a collab to give you exposure. Because embarrassment is the cost of entry, and doing it scared is how you win. . . . ⚡️ Apply for the 1% Club to access Live Calls, Mindset Mastery and Sales training and our Social Media Playbookhttps://www.skool.com/the-1-movement-3331/about?ref=300560840e4d4922b97366b5666702d5

    What if the biggest lessons in life came from the people you least expected? In this episode, I'm recording live from my balcony in Dubai, fresh from attending the 1 Billion Summit the largest content creator event in the world. And let me tell you, the insights I'm bringing back are life-changing. From Will Smith to Rio Ferdinand, Vishen, Khaled Al-Ameri, and MrBeast I sat in rooms with some of the most influential people on the planet, and I'm breaking down everything I learned. Here's what we dive into: Will Smith's reminder that everyone is going through something — and why human connection matters now more than ever Rio Ferdinand's secret to becoming the best: the chip on his shoulder and the one question that kept him going — "Are you still at the football?" Vishen's concept of the "visibility wound" — what's holding you back from being seen, and why your weirdness is your unfair advantage Khaled Al-Ameri's challenge: Would you rather have 1 million followers or 1,000 true fans? Why impact beats virality every single time MrBeast's kindness movement — and how one act of kindness can shift everything Why embarrassment is the cost of entry to anything worth doing This episode is raw, unfiltered, and packed with the kind of wisdom that only comes from being in a room with people who've done the thing. It's for anyone who's been holding themselves back because they're scared to be different, scared to be seen, or scared to fail. Because here's the truth:Your environment will always try to pull you back to sameness.But sameness is the killer.Your weirdness? That's your power. So ask yourself:What impact do you want to have on the world?Are you ready to do it scared?Are you willing to pay the cost of entry? Tune in, take notes, and get ready to squeeze.
