The Disruptive Entrepreneur

Rob is questioning the hypocrisy happening right now surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Listen in to hear Rob’s thoughts on what is happening, what he thinks is behind it and how he doesn’t defend corruption at all but that it is important to call out hypocrisy. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sanctions are better than sending in tanks, troops etc. However, are the people they are targeting right and in some cases, why has it taken so long? In some cases the corruption has been known about for a long time but has been ignored until the Ukrainian invasion. This hypocrisy raises questions, we can’t just use people when it benefits us and banish them when they are no longer useful. Mainstream media and big tech have so much power, they are controlling the narrative. We need to push back against this. BEST MOMENTS “And now they are all turning on him like he has done something new, like there is a new revelation” “Are they all going to get sanctioned when it suits?” “Nato intervention is World War 3”   VALUA

The US has said that China will face harsh consequences if they are found to be helping Russia. Listen in to this episode to hear Rob’s thoughts on this and what he feels the wider implications, warnings and lessons are from this statement. KEY TAKEAWAYS The wider implications of US stating this worries Rob. He believes this means that support from China to Russia could ultimately end up causing World War 3. Anyone who knows Rob, knows that he isn’t a scaremonger. He is optimistic but can’t ignore everything happening in the world right now, this would be ignorant. He believes planning for the downsides or downturn of things protects you in most circumstances. Fear screams loudest when it’s frightened, This is why big media is pushing so hard at the moment, there is cancel culture and fear everywhere. BEST MOMENTS “One can only assume that the US feel that if China intervene or help Russia than that is also World War 3” “We’re de-evolving as a species!” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors

KEY TAKEAWAYS  After the infamous speech, Gerald Ratner lost half a billion. He says that people can learn from him and what he lost. When it happened it was devastating but he is now the happiest he has ever been. Some things really do happen for a reason. What hurt Gerald the most after the downfall, is thinking about all the work he had put into the business over the years and that it had all been taken away because of one foolish joke he made. He also feels sad that people thought he had contempt for his customers, which couldn’t be any further from the trut

He talks about what they are and how recognising them and focusing on the right things in each stage can help you with the success of your business; from start-up to exit! KEY TAKEAWAYS Ideation Stage: The idea stage. There’s a big difference between a desire and an idea. This is the stage where you actually create a firm idea of what your business will be. Start-up Stage: This is where the idea turns into a niche, a product and an actual business! Chaos Stage: This is the first stage of growth and you need to focus on sales and marketing. If things aren’t breaking and creating chaos then you aren’t selling enough! Systems Stage: Now is the time to create structure, processes and consistency but ensure you still keep an eye on your levels of service whilst creating and planning your systems. Scale-Up Stage: This is when you can start to gain market share and real

Are you distressed about what is happening in the world right now? It’s normal to feel this way but Rob says we must remember to focus on what we can control. Listen into this episode to find out what things you can do to help the world right now and also how the decision to become financially free will not only benefit you, but the world around you too. Recurring Income Summit: ris.live KEY TAKEAWAYS When worrying about the state of the world, try and think of something you can actually do to help. Focus on small solutions that you can have control of. Rob uses his platforms to discuss big issues facing the world, this is how he contributes/makes a difference and in doing so is focusing on something he has control over. The one thing you can do to help against these wide reaching problems is to become financially secure and then financially free. This then allows you the freedom to help the world in many varying ways, in terms of money and time too. BEST MOMENTS “The problem with that is things outs

Simon joins Rob in this episode where they talk about whether free content, information and services are better than paid. Simon believes free has more value but Rob disagrees. Listen in to find out why! KEY TAKEAWAYS Many businesses have been built on something ‘free’ such as Facebook and Instagram. But Rob quite rightly points out that someone always has to pay for free, using FB as the example, it wasn’t free to create and now it’s users are advertised to. Rob believes that you value things that you pay for. When you are given things for free you don’t value it in the same way. If you are going to do something for free then you need to ensure it has good value. A large chunk of society just cannot afford things. Free has a value for those who can’t afford to pay. Simon argues that podcasting provides a wealth of knowledge with breadth that not many other platforms can rival. Yet it’s free. His core belief and argument is that there are many things we can provide to people for free that have a higher

Listen in to an intimate session with Rob with an Ask Me Anything! Rob talks honestly about the Ukraine War crisis, branding, marketing and even what he would do with a free weekend! An episode not to be missed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Allowing your self specific time (e.g a morning or even a whole weekend) to create your digital content can be a great way to kick start your online marketing. Joining industry-related FB groups is both and easy and free way to really up your marketing game. You can learn from others, share ideas as well as network. When it comes to branding, think about what is the singular thing you want to be known for, what is your signature content and how can you get it out there. Rob doesn’t have a lot of trust in mainstream media at the moment and so believes it’s important to bear this in mind when learning about current world events such as the conflict between the Ukraine and Russia. Growth on Instagram right now is all about reels. Focus on reels and move away from image and written co

Elon has given the Ukraine a ‘back-up’ internet. This is an amazing story, listen in to Rob’s thoughts on this news story as well as the negative rhetoric that is often surrounding Elon Musk. KEY TAKEAWAYS A government official tweeted Elon Musk highlighting what was happening in the Ukraine and asking for starlink service – within 10 hours Elon had provided this. Elon musk has had a lot of criticism in recent times but who else could have provided a back up internet for the Ukraine? He deserves some credit for this. You may not be able to create back-up internet but we still all need to do our own bit against war. If we can help in any way we must do so. There is always something you can do, no matter how small it may seem. BEST MOMENTS “Who else alive could give Ukraine a back-up internet?” “I think there’s a lot of people on social media that have a really big opinion, but do nothing” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter  

Could the current Prince Andrew lawsuit be a tax write off? Inflation, cost of living and taxes are all going up at historic rates, is it right that the people should be paying for this? Rob discusses both these questions and more in this episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS All taxes are going up. If this lawsuit is paid for by the state then it will be public money paying for it. Rob personally believes this shouldn’t happen, it simply isn’t fair. Rob isn’t against the royals, he believes the Queen is a hard working public servant but this doesn’t mean this shouldn’t be challenged. The level of taxes at the moment aren’t sustainable. BEST MOMENTS “I’d love to know where that money will come from” “Why should the public pay for Prince Andrews lawsuits?” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for pub

In this second part of a 2-part series, Rob speaks to Kieran as he opens up about what many people only ever dream about; being in the England premier league and his Manchester United football career. KEY TAKEAWAYS Kieran retired at 33. He found that the high pressured environment, particularly the politics off the field, took away his passion and love for the game. Luckily, Kieran had a supportive and guiding father who helped him make good investment choices when he started making big money so young. He learnt from the best and is now set for life as well as following his other passion, watches. Kieran has played with so many incredible players including the likes of Ronaldo, yet he says he believes the best football player he has ever played with was Paul Scholes and that many other players would say the same. Kieran believes that Man United will always be the top contenders for the biggest club in England. They have the history, the fans and the accolades to back it up.   BEST MOMENTS “If I’m

A question that often gets floated around the entrepreneurship, business and parental circles is whether apprenticeships, that is practical experience alongside learning, is better than going to university. In this episode, Rob explores this opinion, what people mean when they say ‘better’ and what things need to be considered before someone decides one way or the other. KEY TAKEAWAYS When apprentice Joshua Mims was interviewed for national apprenticeship week, he said he valued his apprentice because he got hands on real experience. He got to see up close what he would be doing for work in the next few years at least and it also opened up many doors for him.  At age 17-18 it can be really difficult to decide what to do for the rest of your life. One of the upsides of an apprenticeship is it gives you a skill, lets you earn whilst you learn as well as giving you a true experience of what you will be doing – without any debt.  Rob can give a long list of millionaires and billionaires who either didn’t get

Big tech now control the narrative. There has been a bid for a proposed bill that would BAN censorship across social media and Rob thinks this is an incredible idea that needs to be driven forward. Listen in to find out why he thinks the current state of big tech control is dangerous and why banning censorship would be good for us all. KEY TAKEAWAYS Big Tech can impact politics in a big way, they can decide what is shown and what is censored giving them ultimate control on the narrative. This is scaring governments and should scare you too. Free speech has to be for all otherwise it isn’t free speech. It is the governments job to step in when monopolies and control becomes too big, this is what they are doing and it will serve us all if the bid goes through. BEST MOMENTS “Many people think that was fundamentally really wrong and ultimately governments are now threatened” “If I want free speech then I want free speech for all” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https:/

Kieran is a former premier league footballer but now owns the watch broker Broadwalk Group, he joins Rob today with his colleague Harry, listen in to find out all you need to know about watches and why they are such a unique and enjoyable investment option. Broadwalkgroup.com KEY TAKEAWAYS Kieran’s father collected watches and this is where his initial passion came from. For his 16th birthday he got a Cartier tank watch which got him started and his passion has grown ever since. The watch market is crazy right now, there is low supply but people have money and they want to buy so any good investment is just going up and up! Watches are almost an asset class but they aren’t taxed like one. If you are making a profit you should of course be paying tax on it but it’s not as heavily regulated or

Rob feels responsible to let you know about new opportunities as an entrepreneur and to understand pioneering new technologies which is why he wants to educate and inspire you to start your NFT journey! Listen in to find out how you can and why you should start now. Robmoore.com/nft KEY TAKEAWAYS It’s a very new industry, and with new industries there is a wealth of opportunity before they become heavy regulated. The five main attributes of a successful NFT is: Technology, The Asset, The Story, The Attributes and Utility. The story and the credibility is what gives art it’s value, this is the same case for NFT’s. Rob is not just jumping in here, he has been doing his research around NFT’s for 15 months and that is why he is now sharing it. BEST MOMENTS “It’s not really about the NFT, it’s about do you see the opportunity?” “If you think about a piece of art, it’s just a p

McDonald’s have just filed 10 trademarks to be in the metaverse – this is huge news! It legitimises the concept and the future of the metaverse. Many of us are either confused or don’t believe the metaverse is the future, listen in to this episode with Rob to find out more about the metaverse and what this news really means. Robmoore.com/nft KEY TAKEAWAYS  We need to watch this very closely. There’s no point of just saying you’re not interested, you need to watch emerging innovation and trends to be in the know. McDonald’s are joining many other named brands in filing trademarks in the metaverse including Adidas, Nike and more! Advertisers go where the audience will be. When it was email, they were on email banners, then social media, they were all over social media. Now it will be the metaverse; it will be web 3.0 BEST MOMENTS   “I wanna help you with innovation, disruption and start and scale yoru business and go where the people are, you must watch the metaverse space” “Social media could start t

In this highly timely episode, Rob talks about a concerning government ruling that has just been enacted in Canada, that may require an extra level of diligence on our part when it comes to our finances. This ruling, giving banks the power to freeze funds without a court order, in a bid to choke off protest funding. It only takes a single spark to ignite a powder keg, and other countries may soon see similar draconian rulings come into force before long. As Rob explains, we must do all we can to stand up against oppressive government tactics, or we could find ourselves sacrificing certain freedoms before long... KEY TAKEAWAYS The government can now effectively ‘steal’ your money in Canada now. You only need one case study for this to spread across the world. Justin Trudeau himself, said in the past, that when governments try and restrict in this way it means they are losing power, that it’s a means of trying to get back control and they no longer have the moral authority to govern. This covers a

Ever since learning about NFTs Rob has been intrigued; he loves the revolution and evolution of art and business. As a former artist, NFT’s have really captured Rob as they are a merge between art and entrepreneurship. However, he has had many questions and doubts and in this episode, he explores the legitimacy of NFTs and why he believes they have value. Robmoore.com/nft KEY TAKEAWAYS  One way to escape the risk of ‘pump and dump’ is to look for an NFT that has utility. Then even if the NFT itself drops, the attributes, perks and bonuses still exist. Social proof is powerful. This is using social media, brand names and/or celebrities to create legitimacy. If you see this, fact check that it is real. If NFTs are scams then so is Art, yet no one would ever say this. A j-peg is no different to a painting, what makes the Mona Lisa valuable isn’t the canvas and paint but because of the story behind it; NFTs can be the same. BEST MOMENTS   “In my opinion you can’t really say that NFTs are a scam” “All va

In this episode, Rob interviews the renowned Jake Paul. They discuss his incredible career and life, what it takes to be truly successful in the world as well as a list of all the people he would fight! KEY TAKEAWAYS  How did Jake Paul, a school dropout from Ohio, get to where he is today? He puts it down to hard work, dedication and a willingness to learn. He said he made the choice to not remain the drop out kid from Ohio and did the work needed that put him where he is now. Part of the secret to success is to never be satisfied. The challenge and hunger for the ‘game’ of life is what has always driven Jake to achieve. For a lot of his career, Jake has felt misunderstood. He says he feels like the tide is slowly changing but he still feels like wherever he goes people don’t truly understand what his life has been like, so they can never judge him. Jake doesn’t cite one person as inspiration. He believes you can’t just strive to be like one person or you will become unoriginal. He likes to be continual

Do you want to create a lifestyle business, a performance business or an empire? How do you scale to an exit without losing your freedom? In this episode, Rob is interviewed by Ryan Staley of the ‘Scale Up Show’ Podcast! They have a great conversation all about education, business, entrepreneurship and how to crack the code on repeatable revenue growth, leadership, lifestyle freedom and mindset!   KEY TAKEAWAYS The formal education system is lacking in terms of training the next generation of business leaders. The best way to grow and develop these people is through practical experience. Revenue streams should always be diversified whenever possible, so as to maximise our financial potential, and to safeguard our income should certain monetary avenues be closed. Entrepreneurs like variety when it comes to their work/life balance. The best are those who recognise the need for harmony and balance between the two, but who step up completely when one begins to suffer. Building an audience is all about cons
