Despite economic fluctuations, there are always opportunities for success. Hard work and adaptability are crucial, and effort and tenacity can lead to success regardless of external circumstances. Confidentiality is everything when you're dealing with high profile clients, and personalised service matters greatly in building lasting relationships in the luxury car industry. BEST MOMENTS "I think dyslexic is a gift that people can take and make advantage of. I think they're very strong-minded personalities... the biggest percentage of entrepreneurs, billionaires and very successful people are all dyslexic." "I told my story... I wanted my grandchildren to know what my history was, and how I grew up, and what I come from." "You're a brand" "If you're prepared to get your ass out of bed in the morning and not be a lazy bastard, it's achievable."

Steven is joined by Farren Morgan, a former soldier turned successful entrepreneur and athlete. Farren shares his unique journey, detailing his late entry into the army at 27, the challenges he faced, and how his military experience shaped his mindset and career. The discussion delves into the evolving culture of the military, the importance of physical fitness, and the impact of social media on personal branding and business growth. Farren also opens up about his upcoming challenge of completing a 1,000-mile trek with a weighted backpack to raise funds for veterans, emphasising the significance of giving back to the community Key Takeaways The mindset developed in sports, particularly boxing, can be applied to various aspects of life, including business, family, and social interactions. Joining the army later in life (at 27) provided valuable lessons in discipline, physical fitness, and camaraderie, which have influenced personal and professional growth. There is a concern about the dilution of physical fitness standards in the military, with an emphasis on the importance of being in shape for leadership roles. Building a strong social media presence has allowed for the expansion of a coaching business, reaching clients globally and promoting a healthy lifestyle. BEST MOMENTS "I believe that the Army has given me a better mindset... through the hardship, through physical training and all through the camaraderie." "I think a lot of people got into the military that shouldn't necessarily be there... I don't think they should be leading guys into any kind of scenario." "When I think about the army, you think about that slogan, be the best... it doesn't matter whether you get shot at, you go out there and do your thing." "A high percentage... well over 75% of everything that you see online, someone's taking some kind of performance enhancing drug."

Steven talks to star, Jamie Jewitt, about everything from sports to personal health and the impact of social media. Jamie shares his journey from being a model and reality TV star to focusing on his health and fitness, discussing his experiences with various diets, including his current carnivore regimen, and the significant improvements he's seen in his physical and mental well-being Key Takeaways There is a strong link between physical health and mental well-being. Improving one's diet can lead to significant improvements in mood, motivation, and overall health. Following a carnivore diet has led to remarkable health improvements, including alleviation of digestive issues and joint pain, as well as increased energy and strength. Social media can perpetuate superficial values and create a culture of comparison and negativity. It can also manipulate narratives, influencing public perception and behaviour. Both unhealthy and healthy lifestyles are choices. The default setting in modern society often leans towards unhealthy habits, but individuals have the power to change their circumstances and improve their health. BEST MOMENTS "I thought it was really tough to watch. They kept getting into their end and then doing bugger all with the ball." "I always said when I was thin, I'd be a fat person if I didn't... if it was up to me or if I took my foot off the gas, I'd go." "I think it's important we talk more about that connection and less about this... mental health conversation." "I just felt like a fucking pushover, like a... I'm getting handed everything on a platter." "The media trained us on how to use social media... they can manipulate any single narrative that it wanted."

Steven talks to professional boxer Archie Sharp, about the various aspects of boxing, including the evolution of the sport, the recent 5-versus-5 matches between promoters, the importance of pay in boxing, sponsorship challenges, and the mindset required to remain undefeated. Archie shares insights into his training regimen, the impact of inactivity on his performance, and his experience of getting knocked down in a recent fight. He also touches on his relationship with his trainer, Roy Jones Jr., and his determination to continue his undefeated streak despite facing challenges Key Takeaways Despite getting knocked down in a fight, Archie demonstrates resilience and composure by getting back up and continuing to fight. The role of a strong corner team, including trainers and coaches, is crucial in guiding a boxer through challenging moments during a fight. Archie's ability to adapt during a fight, such as switching to southpaw after being knocked down, showcases his adaptability and strategic thinking under pressure. Archie's mindset of never wanting to taste defeat again, coupled with his determination to succeed, drives his training and performance in the ring. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's gotten better now since the whole Saudi, Frank and Eddie joining together. I was not going to lie, I was a bit fearful for boxing a couple of years prior to where we are now with all the influence boxing and for YouTube boxing." "A young kid texted me the other day on LinkedIn and said, Arch, I'm just starting out as a boxer. I had a go about sponsorship. I said, mate, it's an odd one." "I'm not too sure if you can make your chin more durable because I've always had a great chin in regards to sparring." "I had a lot of questions that I've not boxed at world level yet. So I had so many questions to ask him in regards of being at world level."

Steven talks once more to former footballer and free-speech advocate, Matt Le Tissier about the impact of money on football, the evolution of the game, the influence of social media, and the current state of English football. Matt shares his views on heading in football, the dangers of a cashless society, and his concerns about the direction of the UK government. The episode also delves into political figures like Donald Trump and Joe Biden, as well as the importance of free speech in today's digital age. Key Takeaways We are currently seeing the impact of money on footballers' performance, with some players being affected negatively by wealth, while others like Cristiano Ronaldo maintaining high performance levels despite vast wealth. There has been a notable shift towards a softer version of football compared to previous eras, where physicality and tough play were more prevalent. While VAR could be beneficial if used properly, the current implementation has had more negative impacts than positive ones. Matt expresses strong opinions on various political and social issues, including concerns about government control, the schooling system, and the direction of the country, reflecting a critical perspective on current affairs. To preserve free speech we must look hard at social media platforms, and the role of individuals like Elon Musk in potentially influencing the landscape of free speech BEST MOMENTS "I think the schooling system is an indoctrination center. It's been abused by the radical far left to get their little agendas into the schools." "I think the general public have been absolutely brilliant. It's been an absolute pleasure to be out in public and to see so many people who are prepared to come up and sometimes actually go, you know what, Matt, I thought you were mad a couple of years ago, but actually you were right." "I think the ratio of people coming up to me and thanking me for sticking my neck out over the last few years is way more than anybody who's come up to me and said that I was a conspiracy theorist or an anti-vaxxer." "I know you're a man who believes in freedom of speech. Cashless, cryptocurrency, central currency, electric cars, are all these things good for humanity or do you think they're going to restrict us?"
