We all fell for Dani Dyer when she appeared on Love Island back in 2018. She's a proper family girl - lives just a 6 minute drive from her parents - she once tried living 20 minutes away but that was too far, and I think this is what people love about Dani: she's warm, charming and down to earth. Her dad also happens to be the tough guy actor, Danny Dyer which makes her bubbly sweetness even more likeable. I was excited to have her into the studio for a proper chat.What stood out to me the most about our chat was her battles with self confidence, which I believe something to be so universal. We all can suffer from lack of confidence, and all have our own worries, insecurities and anxieties and it is by opening up that we realise that we are not so alone.We cover:•⁠ ⁠Her struggles with confidence from a young age•⁠ ⁠How an accident led her to Love Island - plus her dad's reaction to her being on the show•⁠ ⁠Failed relationships and what she's learnt from them•⁠ ⁠Her dad's addiction struggles and the impact on her growing up•⁠ ⁠How she dealt with the father of her first child going to prison•⁠ ⁠Meeting her husband, Jarrod Bowen (and the song the fans like to sing) Dani came across to me as such a bright spirit and a reminder to me that everyone has their own battles to fight and by opening up we are not so alone.

Joe Marler is a former England rugby player and currently on Celebrity Traitors who spent fifteen years as one of the sport's biggest personalities, both on and off the pitch. He's described himself as a bully who battled through a rocky career… and maybe that's true. But what really stands out to me is how openly Joe now talks about his mental health and how passionate he is about encouraging other men to do the same.Talking about your feelings can be really hard - it's something I've found tough over the years too. But hearing someone like Joe, a proper “man's man” speak so vulnerably is really refreshing.Today's episode we cover:•⁠ ⁠Tackling toxic masculinity in rugby - learning that he didn't need to be the alpha male all the time•⁠ ⁠Why he thought quitting rugby would fix his depression•⁠ ⁠How Joe has used his big personality for both good and evil•⁠ ⁠His relationship with his wife Daisy who he credits with saving his life•⁠ ⁠Why filming Celebrity Traitors was the most insane & best experience he's ever hadJoe inspires me to be more open with my male friends. And to reach out, because you never know when someone is struggling… This conversation will make you laugh, make you think and hopefully encourage you to talk to your friends.

Stephen Manderson aka Professor Green, in today's episode really reminded me to listen. The most successful people are the ones who listen rather than talk, they learn rather than pretending to know it all. Although we come from totally different backgrounds, we've always connected in such a genuine way. We first met when life was very different; Stephen was dating my friend Millie Mackintosh. A lot has happened since then, a lot of growing up and self reflection...When people come into the studio, sometimes they might ask to not discuss certain topics but Stephen was a complete open book, so no stone was left unturned…We cover:•⁠ ⁠His relationship with Millie Mackintosh •⁠ ⁠Getting an autism diagnosis later in life, and how that has changed the way he looks at his past•⁠ ⁠Surviving getting stabbed in the neck and how knife crime will remain high until we tackle poverty•⁠ ⁠How he's turned negative life experiences into learning opportunities•⁠ ⁠The self reflection that comes with becoming a father•⁠ ⁠Losing his father & Uncle to suicide and how he handles the grief•⁠ ⁠Why we shouldn't blame our elders for getting stuff wrong as they didn't have access to therapyStephen is such a breath of fresh air. Our conversation reminded me how important it is to keep learning, keep being interesting and interested - keep growing as a person.Professor Green is Great Company.

You can't force humans to thrive—you have to design for it.”  ~ Anish Padinjaroote  What if the secret to building a thriving workplace culture that builds great companies and humans wasn't about control, but about intentional design and extreme trust, spreading things that work like a virus?  Welcome to a fascinating conversation with Anish Padindrarote, a workplace architect with 23 years of global experience.Anish shares a revolutionary formula for culture change: daily behaviors multiplied by leadership actions, divided by system friction. This simple equation unlocks profound insights into why some workplace cultures succeed while others struggle despite good intentions. His approach challenges conventional wisdom, suggesting we design systems for the 98% of employees who want to contribute meaningfully, rather than focusing on controlling the problematic 2%.  During our conversation, Anish unpacks why most organizations fail at scaling culture, revealing how we should think of culture as something that's "caught, not taught" – requiring contagious behaviors rather than cascading policies. You'll learn why treating employees as adults remains revolutionary in corporate environments and how verbalizing values as actions rather than nouns transforms abstract concepts into lived experiences.  One of the most powerful moments comes when Anish describes the difference between creating a "manicured garden" versus a "regenerative forest" when it comes to culture. The former barely survives storms, while the latter thrives through adaptation and deep-rooted strength.  In the age of AI, Anish offers crucial perspectives on what makes human contribution uniquely valuable and how culture serves as the operating system that enables human-centered approach to work for humans and business.   Whether you're leading a team of five or an organization of thousands, this episode provides practical wisdom for creating magnetic cultures where both people and performance flourish.

We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.-------------Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShowwConnect with Siddhartha on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthaahluwalia/Twitter: https://x.com/siddharthaa7-------------This video is for informational purposes only.

This episode is a little bit different: it's with someone whose name I doubt you'll know, but it's a story which, as soon as I heard, I knew I wanted to share with you all on Great Company.Riordan Maynard was a high flying business man until one day it all came crashing down - he doesn't shy away from the crimes he committed - but they resulted in him serving almost seven years in a maximum high security prison in the states for tax fraud. Promised a low-security camp to serve his sentence, instead he was sent to a maximum security prison, he came into contact with real violence and aggression.Riordan doesn't hold back about the realities of life in prison - how it almost broke him, spiralling mentally, and riddled with guilt for leaving his family without provision. But that time away also taught him mental resilience and he has since come out a different man.This is a raw, powerful conversation about accountability, redemption and the strength of the human mind to shift, even when in the darkest of places.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.ukWhat to expect in this episode:Writing letters from prisonBeating boredom and making the most of each dayHow I became a businessmanBreaking ground in the mobile phone gameHow I ended up behind barsWhen the business started to fall apartThe morning of the arrestThe charges brought against meFirst impressions of prison lifeHow I felt being found guiltyFighting the temptation to go on the runWhy prison was actually good for meHow brutal those first few months inside wereBeing forced into a gang while in prisonWitnessing a prison murderMy first night behind barsThe impact it had on my familyThe moment I realised I could change my mindsetThe Final Eight Questions--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

In March 2025, I embarked on probably the hardest challenge of my life, running from London to Manchester, completing five ultramarathons in five days with Radio 1 for Comic Relief.I don't think anyone anticipated how big the challenge would become - nor did I fully appreciate the scale of what I was undertaking, but needless to say it was a life changing experience and raised £2.26million for an incredible cause.I wanted to bring you - our wonderful Great Company listeners - a bonus episode of the show, to dive back into that week and give you insight into my reasons for running and the toll it took on me mentally.To be totally honest, I've not quite felt fully back to normal since completing the challenge, but I wanted to be open with you all and say that wherever you are, and whatever you're going through, you really are not alone - people are truly amazing and when we support each other, the world is a much brighter place that it can seem. It's ok to admit when you're not OK - in fact, it's more than OK, it's incredibly strong.So, after a few weeks to reflect, here's my open and honest account of that wild week in March, when we ran from London to Manchester.Jamie xYou can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

The basic steps of creating your own core values and mission statement.  In addition, we share in detail our very own core values here at Sunrise Capital Investors (see below). In its simplest definition, values are the fundamental beliefs of an organization, the guiding principles that dictate how people should behave and act.  A company's values help people know the difference between right and wrong, and they help companies determine if they are on the right path to fulfilling their overall business goals. Our BEDROCK Principles reflect what is truly important to us. These values drive all aspects of our performance: from planning, to marketing, to operating, to finance, to serving our team members & our customers. Our principles have remained consistent since Sunrise was founded, and they are frequently cited as a reason why our employees love working here. These principles do not change from time to time, situation to situation, or person to person. These Bedrock principles are foundational values that truly stand the test of time and shape our company culture.   Sunrise Core Values: Be a Sponge Enjoy the Ride Do the Right Thing Don't be an A-Hole Be ROCK Solid   Recommended Resources: Accredited Investors, you're invited to Join the Cashflow Investor Club to learn how you can partner with Kevin Bupp on current and upcoming opportunities to create passive cash flow and build wealth. Join the Club!

In this episode of the Restaurant Masterminds podcast, host Paul Baron and culture expert Rudy Miick explore how to build a "badass brand" through strong company culture. They discuss the difference between "win-lose" versus inspirational leadership approaches, highlighting that while aggressive culture models can work, their sustainability is questionable. The conversation examines how explicit cultural values drive brand performance, especially in uncertain economic times, with only 23% of employees globally being actively engaged in the workplace. Using Coinbase as an example, they emphasize the importance of clearly defining and aligning culture with brand values, maintaining consistency in practices, and creating supportive processes that attract like-minded employees.#CompanyCulture #BrandBuilding #EmployeeEngagementGet Your Podcast Now!

In today's fast-paced world, the journey of entrepreneurship can be both exhilarating and daunting. Shanaz Hemmati, a successful female entrepreneur and co-founder of ZenBusiness, shares her experiences and insights on navigating this challenging path. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, learning, and passion in achieving one's goals.Shanaz believes that failure should not be viewed as a setback but rather as a valuable learning opportunity. She encourages entrepreneurs to ask themselves what they can learn from their experiences, regardless of the outcome. This mindset allows individuals to move forward without being weighed down by the fear of failure.For Shanaz, passion is the driving force behind her work. She defines passion as something that energizes and motivates you to wake up each day excited about what you do. However, that passion alone is not enough—it must be coupled with action. Entrepreneurs must take concrete steps to turn their ideas into reality.At ZenBusiness, she has fostered an environment where employees feel valued and empowered to share their ideas. This collaborative atmosphere not only enhances productivity but also encourages innovation and growth.With over 45% of ZenBusiness employees being female, Shanaz emphasizes the importance of diversity in the workplace.

With Fintool, you can ask any question and it's going to automatically generate the best answer. So they may pull from a portion of an earnings call, or a 10k, whatever it may be and then answer your question. The best part- every portion of the answer is cited with the source document.Now- if you've tried to do any of this in ChatGPT you may know that the answers are often wrong or hallucinations.

Did you know that until you are truly compassionate to yourself, you can’t be compassionate to any other person?In Episode #192 of The Gathering Room, I’m talking about building compassionate communities—and how a safe, loving, mutually supportive community is probably the most important thing we can ever have, especially during chaotic times.I’ve been reading my way through all the skills that make you a good community creator, and one of my favorites is the book Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg, who talks about creating community by first becoming your own good company. We have such an individualistic, fragmenting society where we’re always pitted against each other in competition, but we long to experience moments of beautiful company where everyone feels lifted by everyone else. This kind of community is a basic human need.Marshall Rosenberg says that everything we do is trying to meet our basic needs, and we go off course by trying to meet our needs with things that don’t work. He describes bringing ourselves into that sense of loving community by following a few basic steps: * Identify any “mistakes” or behaviors you’re upset with yourself about.* Notice any shaming language you use around those behaviors (words like “should”). * Understand the need you were trying to meet with those behaviors.* Allow yourself to mourn the fact that what you tried didn’t work.Then, if you can empathize with the part of yourself that was trying to get a need met in an ill-advised way, there’s a kind of embrace that happens automatically—and in that embrace is forgiveness. That’s when, within yourself, you have all of your parts, including what I call the “compassionate witness.” There are all the parts who’ve been trying so hard, and everyone is empathizing with everyone else. There is mutual forgiveness for everything you ever thought you did wrong, and no one is being blamed. That’s the way into being your own best company. And from there on, Marshall Rosenberg tells us, everything is play.To find out more about forgiving yourself, becoming your own best company, and creating supportive, compassionate communities, tune in for the full episode. I’ll also guide you through my Space, Silence, and Stillness meditation with a special focus on bringing your inner collective into loving harmony. Join me!

How much do failing companies and countries have in common? In this episode of The Lonely Office, we follow Lianna, a young attorney watching her dream of partnership fade away as her firm's leadership hoards profits and power. Inspired by the Nobel Prize-winning book Why Nations Fail, we explore how the "extractive policies" that doom nations—concentrating wealth and power in the hands of a few—also plague companies. From Blockbuster's $50M Netflix blunder to today's imploding startups, we examine how resistance to change, decision-making concentrated in the hands of the CEO and close executives, and a lack of organizational justice—such as undeserved promotions—can collectively pave the way for spectacular collapses. Are modern companies built to last, or are they simply extracting value on their way to inevitable failure?

In today's episode, Shawn O'Malley (@shawn_OMalley_) discusses why great companies fail, as outlined by Clayton Christensen in his timeless book, The Innovator's Dilemma, which was first published in 1997. The Economist actually named it one of the six most important business books ever written. Christensen was an academic and business consultant who wrote a number of compelling books, but the Innovator's Dilemma is by far his best-known work. Christensen worked at Harvard Business School for a decade before founding a consulting firm in 2000 and a venture capital firm focused on investing in Southeast Asia in 2005.  In this episode, you'll learn how disruptive innovations shift the status quo, the difference between disruptive and sustaining innovations, why companies can seemingly do everything right and still lose out to new competition, how following logical incentives can actually lead management to disregard threats from disruptive technology, why disruptive technologies tend to emerge on the fringes of established customer demographics, and what companies can do to prepare themselves for the inevitable rise of disruptive technologies, plus so much more! Prefer to watch? Click here to watch this episode on YouTube. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN 00:00 - Intro 02:11 - What is a disruptive innovation, and how it differs from sustaining innovations. 02:52 - How the “paradox” of innovation impacts industry leaders. 05:11 - Why even the best of the best companies aren't immune to disruptive innovation. 08:03 - How to think about disruptive technologies from the vantage point of a value investor. 08:55 - How Tesla disrupted the automotive industry. 13:15 - Why the fast-paced hard-drive industry is such a good case study on innovation. 21:10 - How value networks shape biases and outcomes in companies. 31:28 - What industry leaders can do to manage disruptive innovation. 36:20 - How Honda stumbled into disruptive innovation in the U.S. market. *Disclaimer: Slight timestamp discrepancies may occur due to podcast platform differences.

The mark of true care from a leader is actually taking the time to get to know your employees as individuals. On today's episode of the podcast, I am sharing a quick video about the importance of building great company culture and how to do it. "What do they care about?" "What does good company culture mean to them?" "What do they have going on outside of the office that might be affecting how they show up in their job?" Problems aren't one-size-fits-all, and neither are the solutions. A good leader will do their best to find the answer that fits each of their people. You may not get it right every time, but it's the intent that counts. I hope you all enjoy todays episode
