Tell us what you like or dislike about this episode!! Be honest, we don't bite!“Why have you only got five locations?”That's what Michael Jackson asked Matt Fiddes, and what happened next turned into a global scaling lesson.In this episode, Matt Haycox sits down with Matt Fiddes, founder of a worldwide martial arts franchise network, to break down how he scaled from local studios into thousands of locations by doing what most business owners avoid: relentless front-end marketing, tight systems, and brand-building that creates trust at scale. But this isn't just business. Matt also opens up about his decade-long relationship with Michael Jackson, what it was like being around that level of fame, how the media fallout changed his life after Michael died, and his perspective on the child abuse allegations, including the documentaries he points people towards. You'll hear Matt and Matt talk about:The “napkin blueprint” moment with Michael Jackson, and the scaling lesson behind it. Why most founders fail: they over-focus on the service and ignore marketing + sales. The “15 marketing ideas by the 5th of every month” rule (and why it forces execution). How brand + social proof beats copycats (and why people buy the name, not the tactics). What it was like after Michael's death: paparazzi, grief, and mental health. Matt's perspective on the abuse allegations, and why he says people should look deeper. Timestamps0:00 – Intro3:15 – Bullied as a kid, leaving school with no qualifications11:03 – The first studio: how he got to 700 members fast17:50 – The real growth lever: marketing > “being good”27:04 – “Hi, I'm Michael Jackson…” and the napkin blueprint35:05 – What life with Michael was actually like46:53 – Being around global fame (and why he did it for free) 57:02 – The abuse allegations: Matt's perspective + documentaries he recommends 1:08:47 – The MF legacy, Money Freedom Club + what's nextFollow Matt Fiddes:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialmattfiddes/Website: https://mattfiddes.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattfiddes1/Enjoyed this episode?

Episode 2159 - Casekoo Reinvents Phone Protection: From Napkin Sketch to 360° Titanium Innovation

Ash Said It® Daily

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 24, 2026 15:39 Transcription Available


Casekoo began with a "napkin sketch" born from the frustration of a phone constantly falling over. CEO Ralph explains that the brand maintains this mindset by focusing on "micro-frustrations"—small daily hurdles in tech usage that larger manufacturers ignore. By scaling this problem-solving approach to millions of users, Casekoo ensures every design iteration serves a functional purpose. How does the Casekoo Magic Stand Pro achieve 360-degree versatility? The engineering "Eureka moment" for the Magic Stand Pro was the integration of a 360-degree titanium spin stand. Ralph reveals that using aerospace-grade titanium allowed for a high-strength, versatile stand that retracts flush with the case. This eliminates the "rugged bulk" typically associated with heavy-duty protection, offering a sleek profile without compromising on utility. What is the tactile benefit of the Casekoo Nubuck Texture Frame? The Nubuck Texture Frame is designed to provide a premium, leather-like grip for the "all-day holder." In an audio-first, high-screen-time world, Ralph describes this tactile innovation as a bridge between luxury and ergonomics. The texture reduces hand fatigue and provides a secure, non-slip "skin-feel" that standard plastic or silicone cases cannot replicate. How is Casekoo's 2026 brand strategy changing IP collaborations? Casekoo is pivoting toward "Innovation Enthusiasts" and "Style Pioneers." This new identity shifts their IP (Intellectual Property) collaborations away from generic designs toward exclusive, high-concept partnerships. The goal is to treat the phone case as "tech-jewelry," blending advanced engineering with avant-garde aesthetics for early adopters. Can sustainable phone cases provide 18-foot drop protection? Yes. Ralph confirms that Casekoo's push for ClimatePartner certification and non-toxic materials (SVHC < 0.1%) has not lowered their safety standards. By utilizing advanced plant-based biopolymers, Casekoo has maintained a rigorous 18-foot drop protection rating, proving that eco-friendly sustainability and military-grade durability are no longer mutually exclusive.
