How many elite sportsmen know their way round a modular synthesiser?Steve Davis was the first modern star of snooker. He dominated the game in the 1980s, winning six world titles, appearing in 8 of the 9 finals between 1981 and 1989. He was ranked number one in the world for seven consecutive years, posted the first ever 147 maximum break in official competition, and was easily (Alex Higgins hipsters aside) established as the best player ever to play the game by the end of that decade.As well as being the most successful player at that point, he was also the first snooker player to do product endorsements, and fully participate in the emerging business of sports entertainment, guided by the legendary manager and promoter Barry Hearn.What brings him to the Not A Diving Podcast is his second career as a DJ and member of The Utopia Strong, an experimental band in which he plays modular synth.That's a late-career curve ball if ever there was one. But since he's also been President of the British Chess Federation and competed in serious poker tournaments, it's perhaps not as much of a surprise as it might be.I was incredibly excited to talk to Steve, and he didn't disappoint... the first NDP guest to have appeared on I'm A Celebrity is always going to be a good episode isn't it?If you're into what we're doing here on the pod then you can support the show on Patreon!

Barry Hearn is a promoter who has been at the forefront of some of the biggest snooker, boxing and darts events in the last 40 years. He played a central role in turning snooker into a television phenomenon, and as a boxing promoter he represented Chris Eubank and Nigel Benn. He later turned darts players, including Phil 'The Power' Taylor, into household names. Barry was born in Dagenham in East London in 1948 and grew up in a council house. At school, he enjoyed playing cricket and football, but freely admits he wasn't good enough to become a professional player. Instead, he became an accountant and when one of the companies he worked for asked him to find some investment properties, he bought a chain of snooker halls. Barry took advantage of the snooker boom of the 1970s - which started after the BBC began televising competitions - and signed a young Steve Davis. Steve went on to win the World Snooker Championship in 1981 and Barry formed his company Matchroom the following year. He consolidated his success by moving into boxing and then introduced darts to a mainstream audience. In 2021 Barry was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Sport Industry Awards, and also handed over the chairmanship of Matchroom to his son Eddie. His daughter Katie also works for the company. Barry is reluctant to retire just yet, and remains company president, where his new role has given him some more free time to enjoy one of his favourite activities – fishing.

Good morning everyone! Thank you for listening to the Motivated Entrepreneurs podcast. I'm your host, Dean Booty. Today is Saturday, the 24th of September. Today we have the book review called "Barry Hearn: My Life" by Barry Hearn. A larger than life working class hero, Romford born and bred - always ready with the perfect soundbite - Barry Hearn was famously described as 'roguish but never a rogue'. Hearn is credited with turning snooker into one of the biggest sports in Britain. He essentially turned a sport in which competitors wear bowties into a massive, globally televised event. Away from the table, his promotions empire casts its net over a dozen sports - from professional boxing to darts, fishing to ten-pin bowling - and his career spans four decades. He also previously owned Leyton Orient football club. Packed with hilarious anecdotes from the golden age of snooker, and behind-the-scenes insight into boxing negotiations and darts bust-ups, Hearn's book is a joy to read from start to finish. Give a listen.

Steve heads to Essex this week to sit down with legendary sports promoter Barry Hearn of Matchroom Sport. Hearn has been responsible for putting on some of the biggest fights of the last 40 years, featuring the likes of Frank Bruno, Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank. He explains why he got into boxing, how it's not always been fun and what he thinks about the sport today.
The biggest sports promoter in the world, the legend, that is Barry Hearn talks with Rob and takes questions in this live Q&A episode Barry shares some shrewd observations about life, business and sport and explains how everyone is brilliant at something but many don't ever find out what it is because of time, opportunity or entrepreneurial risk-taking He explains why you must have complete belief in yourself if you want others to believe in you and how you can win if you treat business as a game and approach it in the same way as sport with discipline, dedication, and work KEY TAKEAWAYS It's important in life to understand yourself, who you are and what you really want The truth is a commodity that's becoming rarer and rarer in our society I believe in profitability and sustainability over profitability, the two are interconnected The secret of productivity is starting an hour earlier and finishing an hour later We are all governed by our early influences You need to find a way to get noticed, stand out and be remembered I only get involved with sports I'm passionate about, you can't do a good job unless it's something you care about People sacrifice their life to be good at sport and they do it in a way that entertains us. My obligation is to make sure their life changes through sport because of what they've committed to and put into it If people go into business with the same attitude as those who go into sport they can be successful In sport to be good, we get the basics right, we put in the work, dedication, You have to treat it like a game and want to win Using the sporting concept business is about winning and learning from losing, you won't win every time, you just need to win more than you lose BEST MOMENTS ‘I specialise in understanding myself and that's a complex subject to come to terms with' ‘I love to see people changing their lives through sport, I love success stories' ‘When you talk to yourself you tell the truth when you talk to the world you tell them what they want to hear' ‘ I'm the only person 100% guaranteed who will tell me the truth' VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter https://robmoore.com/podbooks My Life - Barry Hearn ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.
