Richard Farleigh REVEALS: His biggest Dragons' Den success His difficult childhood Why the UK is becoming impossible for a startup business Why the first year of any business should be treated as pure research Despite running over 120 companies, how he still battles imposter syndrome That universities will be less relevant with AI advancement BEST MOMENTS I'm a working class kid. I went through an orphanage and care, so I'm not ashamed to admit that I've worked hard and made money." “In a world where we've had a technology explosion, now we've got AI helping us particularly, that should make people more productive, shouldn't it?" "The first year is a research project, the first year is spending the money to find out if this is viable, that's what you want to find out as quickly as possible. If it means not having a shop front, not having any officers, not having a brief guy, just go and sell that." "There are entrepreneurs from all ages, all backgrounds, all countries, all religions, whatever, but there are no lazy entrepreneurs.” "Money and success, you know, it's a bandaid”.

The trials of business from setting up to partnership to selling

How do you know who you truly are? It's one of life's hardest questions isn't it, and is a quest that can often only be solved with time and perseverance as we explore life's path.  This week's lightbulb moment was sparked by Holly's live interview with Levi Roots. Renowned for founding Reggae Reggae Sauce, Levi shares his experience of growing up, not truly knowing who he was or what his purpose might be – and reveals how changing his name, changed the direction of his life.  Their conversation really triggered a lightbulb moment for Holly as she began to reflect on who she became throughout her business journey founding notonthehighstreet, and how by focusing on everything other than you, can often mean that you lose your authentic self along the way.  Holly shares the hurdles and flaws she has had to overcome, in order to really understand who she is and explains why it's so important to not only know, but also love yourself – especially when you are such a key part of your brand. It certainly hasn't been an easy ride for Holly or Levi, but for anyone feeling a little lost with their identity, this is a moment that we think might just help you on your path to finding happiness – which comes from knowing your true self.  As one of ten very special episodes, Holly is also joined by Tash Grossman, founder of Slip and member of Dell's Women's Entrepreneur Network, who has shared her very own Lightbulb Moment, too.  You can listen to Levi Root's full episode here.  Enjoying listening to these unfiltered chats?

This episode was recorded in front of a live audience in Bristol for the second date on our live tour of Conversations of Inspiration, in partnership with NatWest.  In this conversation, Holly & Levi discuss his difficult early years, the decision to turn his life around and the passion and determination that powered him to success today, as well as, of course his unforgettable appearance on Dragons Den which would go on to supercharge his brand.  Born in Jamaica, he came to the UK at the age of 11, not being able to read or write, and found himself struggling to find his place in Brixton in the 70’s.   After stints in prison, Levi turned his life around through his sheer determination and returning to his two true passions in life - music and food, and combining them into a business.  His appearance on Dragons Den set his life on a new trajectory, and after gaining investment and mentorship from Peter Jones, Levi's Reggae Reggae sauce went from strength to strength.  Since then his life has been a whirlwind of success, expanding his range to include cooking sauces, ready meals, soft drinks and desserts, he has published six cookbooks and a business book, released a new album and most recently, Levi realised his ultimate dream of opening his Caribbean ‘Rasta-rant' in Westfield Stratford.   Find tickets to the Manchester recording of Conversations of Inspiration here: https://holly.co/conversations-live/manchester/ Conversations of Inspiration is brought to you with support from NatWest: visit natwestbusinesshub.com for information, tips and insights to help business owners meet their goals.   Follow Holly on Instagram: instagram.com/hollytucker/?hl=en  

Do you want to learn how to be successful? Rob Moore interviews Levi Roots who is the true definition of a Disruptive Entrepreneur. They discuss the key things you need to understand as an entrepreneur and business owner. Discover why having a mentor, believing in yourself and following your dreams are key to success, in business and in life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Key things that you need to have or do for you to become successful. Having mentors. Mentorship is the act of having someone who has more experience in what you are doing and have already succeeded coach you on how to do that thing and succeed. With this be sure that you are going to make informed decisions and be sure that you are going to succeed in what you are doing. Mentors will always be there for you and will even advice you on what to do whenever you go wrong. Avoid listening to people who are not helping you achieve your goals. In life, whether you achieve your goals or not, people will always talk, some will talk good about you and others will talk ill about you, the advice here is not to listen to those people who will spread bad rumours about you because if you listen to them, you will never do anything towards achieving your goals and when you are not successful, the same people are the ones who will talk ill of you again. Believe in yourself. When you have an idea in your mind and you want to implement it, do not fear anything and hesitate to implement your idea, that idea could be the one that makes you successful in this life. Trust yourself that you can achieve anything. Know yourself. Find out who you are, find your identity, one that is true, unbelievable and one that you can actually include in a business plan. Produce quality products. The best businessman does not think of the money first, he should first think of how he can create a quality product that will sell all over the world because people always love quality products. By having a quality product, be sure that your product will sell itself and the money will come running to you. Do not fear that you might fail. Failure is always a part of the success and you learn from your own failures or mistakes. When you fail, you learn because next time you cannot repeat the same mistake. Enjoy what you do, make it be your passion. You must do what you are doing with passion because when you have a passion for doing something, you are not forced to do it and you will do it to its perfection. BEST MOMENTS “It isn't about the product, it's more about you.” “Nowadays, kids, there are many opportunities for them but the key thing that they're lacking is that mentorship is that guy that looking like them or having this same vibe like them, but they've done something that they can be inspired by.” “If you are true to your own self, people will spot that.” “It's not about the money but it's all about the quality of your product.” “Failure is your story and it's part of your success.” “Failure is the feedback you get from doing something.” “Be yourself and keep doing what you're doing.” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ ABOUT THE GUEST Keith Valentine Graham, better known as Levi Roots, is a British-Jamaican reggae musician, television personality, celebrity chef and businessman currently residing in Brixton, in south London.
