    Gary Stevenson | The Structural Flaw In Society Billionaires Don’t Want You To Know

    Gary Stevenson didn’t follow a traditional path, he challenged it at every turn. Expelled from school at 16 and later pushed out of Citibank for speaking up, Gary’s journey has been shaped by resilience, rebellion, and a refusal to stay silent. In this episode, Gary opens up about the high-stakes world of trading, the psychological toll of chasing success, and the personal battles that came with confronting corporate power. From unexpected lessons in Tokyo to quiet acts of solidarity in a cutthroat industry, his story is as much about survival as it is about awakening.

    From DIY T-Shirts To £100m Global Label: Represent’s Branding Blue Print

    George Heaton’s journey with Represent wasn’t a straight line, it was a series of hard pivots, gut checks, and quiet rebuilds. What started as a passion project in streetwear hit a breaking point, forcing George to confront what wasn’t working and make the kind of decisions most founders avoid. In this episode, George takes us through the moment everything stalled, the warehouse bathroom where reality hit, and the bold move to rebuild the brand from scratch. He shares how returning to simple product drops reconnected Represent with its roots, and how stepping back from the business side, by bringing in a CEO, unlocked new levels of creative and commercial growth. It’s a story about letting go, doubling down, and the power of starting over, with purpose.
