Daniel Gestetner is a serial entrepreneur who has spent nearly 30 years building and scaling businesses, including Byte, which grew from $15 million to over $120 million in annual revenue in one year before selling for over $1 billion. In this episode, True Wealth hosts Anthony Ng Monica and Fintan Costello uncover the five principles Daniel uses to identify winning business opportunities, scale faster than the competition, and build companies designed for long-term success. From turning down a $250 million acquisition offer before the dot-com crash to building Byte into a billion-dollar business, Daniel reveals why timing matters more than most founders realise, how to spot opportunities with strong market tailwinds, and why he refuses to build businesses that lose money on their first sale.

    Get Anne's full post-exit playbook in our free newsletter: https://truewealthshow.com/download-guide/ You've already made millions.

Anthony Ng Monica and Fintan Costello sit down with Anne Mahlum, founder of Solidcore, which she built to 100 locations before selling for over $100 million. Anne argues the exit isn't the finish line. It's the start of a harder challenge: figuring out what you actually want from your life. She shut down her next business within six months, held out for her $100M exit, gifted her husband millions to remove money from their relationship, and now pushes herself to spend $200K a month. Anne explains the mindset behind her $100M exit, why hustle culture should have an expiry date, and why the greatest luxury money can buy is the freedom to live on your own terms. You'll learn: – How to build the confidence to back yourself – Why Anne held out for a $100M exit – Why she gifted her husband millions – Why she pushes herself to spend $200K a month – Why she shut down her second business within six months – Why hustle culture should have an expiry date – How to prepare for life after an exit About Anne Mahlum: Anne Mahlum is the founder of Solidcore, a boutique fitness company she built from scratch to over 100 locations across the US before selling for over $100 million.

    Why one passport isn’t enough in 2026 – citizenship expert Alex Recouso

    Get our free guide to getting a second passport: https://truewealthshow.com/download-guide-second-passport/ Is one passport still enough in 2026? Alex Recouso is the co-founder and CEO of CitizenX, a firm helping high-net-worth individuals build citizenship and residency portfolios. In this episode, Alex explains why more wealthy families are looking beyond a single passport, how citizenship can become a liability rather than an asset, and why he believes a second passport should be treated like insurance: something you need to secure before you actually need it. You’ll learn: • Why relying on one passport creates a “single point of failure” • Where wealthy Americans and Europeans are looking for a Plan B • The difference between citizenship, residency and tax residency • How citizenship-by-investment actually works • Why some passports are becoming more valuable while others are losing value • How to build a passport portfolio around your family, wealth and business • The biggest mistakes people make when buying a second citizenship • Why Alex says you “can’t buy insurance once the house is on fire” Alex also breaks down specific options around the world, from the Caribbean and Europe to Africa and the Middle East, including El Salvador’s $1 million citizenship programme and the changing routes available to wealthy families. If you’ve already built financial freedom, this conversation is about the next layer: creating greater optionality over where you live, travel, invest and build your future.

    Security expert: your guide to AI scams, phone thefts and online safety

    Get our full jet-buying guide in our free newsletter: https://truewealthshow.com/download-guide/ If you've built wealth, your threat profile has already changed. Here's what to do about it. In this episode, True Wealth hosts Anthony Ng Monica and Fintan Costello sit down with Philip Grindell, former Scotland Yard detective, British intelligence secondee, and founder of Defuse Global. Philip has spent decades protecting politicians, royalty, celebrities and ultra-high-net-worth families from serious threats. Most successful people think security means bodyguards, CCTV and armoured cars. Philip argues that's completely wrong. The real risks often come from the data you unknowingly leave behind, the information your family shares online, and the predictable patterns that make you vulnerable. Along the way, Philip reveals how criminals identify wealthy targets, why deleting social media may actually make you less safe, the simple systems every founder should implement immediately, and the behavioural indicators that separate genuine threats from online noise. You'll learn: - Why successful founders become attractive targets - The biggest security mistake wealthy people make - Why deleting social media could increase your risk - How criminals build detailed profiles of high-net-worth individuals - The simple AI protection system every family office needs - How to tell the difference between a real threat and an internet troll - The exact process Philip uses to assess personal risk About Philip Grindell: Philip Grindell is a former senior detective with London's Metropolitan Police and a former British intelligence secondee. Following the assassination of MP Jo Cox, he established and led the UK Parliament's specialist threat assessment team. Today, he is Founder and CEO of Defuse Global, advising royalty, celebrities and ultra-high-net-worth families on personal security and behavioural threat management.

    Families destroy their wealth within 3 generations – Britain’s oldest bank reveals how to win

    Get our full jet-buying guide in our free newsletter: https://truewealthshow.com/download-guide/ Your family business has survived your lifetime. But will it survive the next three generations? In this episode, True Wealth hosts Anthony Ng Monica and Fintan Costello sit down with Alexander Hoare, partner at C. Hoare & Co. — Britain's oldest private bank, founded in 1692 and still run by the same family over 350 years later. Most successful founders build wealth to pass on. But Alexander has spent decades watching wealthy families destroy what took generations to build — through entitlement, overcomplication, and a failure to think beyond their own lifetime. His family has navigated every economic crisis, political upheaval, and generational transition since the reign of King William III. The lessons are hard-won and rarely shared outside the walls of private banking. Along the way, Alexander reveals why deliberately staying small has been C. Hoare & Co.'s greatest competitive advantage, what the seventh generation got catastrophically wrong, how to raise children who understand stewardship rather than entitlement, and what every founder should do the moment serious money lands in their account. You'll learn: - Why most family wealth is gone by the third generation — and the systems that prevent it - The counterintuitive case for staying small and simple over scaling - What the seventh generation destroyed — and the disciplines put in place afterwards - How to raise children who treat wealth as a responsibility not a right - What to do immediately after a major liquidity event - Why most wealthy people leave writing a will dangerously late - The one value Alexander believes must survive the next 300 years About Alexander Hoare: Alexander Hoare is a partner at C. Hoare & Co., Britain's oldest private bank, which has been continuously operated by the Hoare family since its founding in 1692. He is the author of The Impact Banker and has spent over 40 years at the bank overseeing its cultural principles, charitable strategy, and long-term vision for generational continuity.
