In this episode of Secret Leaders, we sit down with Alex Kendall, co-founder & CEO of Wayve AI — the $1B+ British startup taking on Tesla in the race to build a driverless future. From raising $1.05 billion from Microsoft, SoftBank, and NVIDIA, to reimagining cities with AI-powered vehicles, Alex shares how his company is changing how we live, commute, and move goods. - Why do 1.2 million people still die on roads every year? - Why are cars asleep 96% of the time and what if they could work for us? - Could AI make driving safer than humans ever could? We dive into how Wayve's embodied AI competes with Tesla, why public trust is still the biggest barrier, and how your car might soon become your second living room. -------- Sign up to Wise Business banking: ⁠https://wise.com/uk/business/⁠ Join Vanta and receive $1000 off: ⁠http://vanta.com/secretleaders

I'm still buzzing after this interview and I know that you will be once you've listened to it.  So today I talked with Tim Bennington. He is the co founder of Manta Hair, and we discussed the story behind the creation of his flexible hairbrush which was inspired by his wife's struggle with hair loss due to cancer.  Tim also has a very successful background in building a network of 56 hair salons under the brand of Headmaster's. So he's no novice to business.  Manta Hair launched in 2018. Early on, he was clear about the importance of awards to raising awareness and credibility and they won a TV programme which helped initially. Now they have expanded into over 30 countries and are selling the product on multiple platforms and along the way he's patented the product and trademarked the brand in multiple countries So there's lots of lessons to learn. We talk about the development side, the struggles and how he managed to overcome some of those to create the product in the first place. Some of the things he got right and things he got wrong, also then in terms of marketing and distribution.  So lots and lots of great lessons that Tim shares, and particularly for anyone running a product based business or looking to bring a product to market, but actually you know, there's loads of great stuff in here for whatever kind of business you're running so let's go across to Tim, the rest of his story.

Steph chats with businesswoman Alex Depledge for a Business Special episode of the podcast. Alex is undoubtedly a brilliant entrepreneur, having co-founded, grown and sold first business Hassle.com for €32m, before starting another tech platform – Resi.co.uk – the UK's largest and only nationwide residential architectural platform. Alex's ‘thing' is disrupting with a tech solution, and cutting deals, both of which she's very good at. She appears to have no fear, has been involved with a number of bodies, boards and think tanks, and is passionately championing women in a male-dominated industry. Alex is incredibly straight-talking but doesn't shy away from being vulnerable, about the challenges of being the boss, including the stress and emotion of leading a business through Covid, trying to balance work and family. Alex also says that she's grateful for the burnout she went through at 27, because it taught her a lot early on that most people experience a bit later while also trying to manage a family and having greater responsibility to juggle. This episode is sponsored by HR consultancy HR Star, who want to reinvent the poor reputation of HR.

Having failed with a fashion tech startup Grabble, he and his business partner did a lot of soul searching for their next venture and Heights (the coolest supplement brand) was born.

Obsessed with money, he went further than anyone before to get rich. In fact, he became so wealthy he could've had his own episode on Secret Leaders. This is a story of how money and power really work - and this is the first episode. You can listen to the rest of the show here: https://link.chtbl.com/badmoney_sl Or search for Bad Money wherever you listen to your pods. Hope you enjoy!

You want to launch a new product. But how do you decide on exactly what you're going to develop? How do you build a community when you don't have anything to sell them? How do you test demand? These are important questions that Dan Murray-Serter, the usual host of Secret Leaders, will be answering this week. This is the fourth chapter in our semi-regular series with Dan where we put him in the hot seat. If you haven't listened to the previous three it's worth doing that now because you'll understand more about what he talks about in this episode.  Dan is a founder himself. His day job is running his VC-backed company Heights. For this episode we are going back to the beginning of Heights. Well, actually, before the beginning, because whilst Heights is now a braincare supplement company, it didn't start out as one.  After the failure of their previous company in 2018, Dan and his co-founder Joel decided they wanted to focus on building a consumer goods company in the mental health field. They knew where they were pointing roughly and they were in the rare situation where they had money left over from their previous business, essentially their seed money. But how do you get from there to a product that people love? Listen to find out. Here are all of Dan's episodes so far: Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 We'd love your feedback hello@secretleaders.com Sponsor links: evelyn.com/secretleaders svb.com/uk transparent.biz/SL vanta.com/secretleaders

Much more goes into building and running listen-worthy and ROI-positive podcasts.Harry and his team of producers, audio engineers, and marketers have launched more than 50 podcasts and produced thousands of episodes.

You wouldn't sign up for a terrible experience but they're a breeding ground for the best stories, and the most personal growth. It's no different for today's guest and the usual host of Secret Leaders, Dan Murray-Serter, who opens up about his biggest traumas… which became the biggest turning points in his life. This is the third chapter in our semi-regular series with Dan. If you haven't listened to the first or second it's worth doing that now because you'll understand the periods he's talking about in this episode.  Dan today has become pretty synonymous with the mental health space. His VC backed startup Heights is trying to create a new category of braincare - but he wasn't always like this. In fact, he didn't even think he had mental health issues despite having had a shopping list of problems over the years. When the penny dropped for Dan, it dropped hard. Find out what Dan went through - and what he learnt about how to spend your time on this earth.

What we're taught at schools is a real pet peeve here at Secret Leaders. Why are we mucking about learning Latin when we could be learning about stuff like nutrition and personal finance - genuinely useful subjects that will help us lead happier, more fulfilling lives? That's what Max Rofagha thought when, after exiting his previous startup, he didn't know what to do with his new found wealth. The content on the internet, the advice he was getting, just didn't cut it - so he founded Finimize. Their idea is to help more ‘ordinary people', i.e. retail investors (not professional investors) do more with their money, and the company has done pretty well. They were bought last year by Aberdeen (abrdn), making Max the youngest Exec of a FTSE 100 company.  How has he done it? What has he learnt about business building that's delivered two exits from two companies? Let's dive in… We talk about: What Berlin used to be like Why you should grow up with computers What you should do with your savings Why people don't understand finance Considering VC funding or bootstrapping How they exited - like, really Feedback: hello@secretleaders.com  Sponsor links: smithandwilliamson.com/secretleaders klaviyo.com/secretleaders personio.com vanta.com/secretleaders

If you're in the UK and you like your peanut butter, you've probably come across Pip & Nut, the brand named after its Founder and today's guest, Pip Murray. Pip started the business when she was 24, at her kitchen table, with a blender and some nuts.  But plenty of people start businesses like that so what makes her special? How has she managed it?  Oh, and we've also got the return of the king, Rich Martell, Co-Founder of Secret Leaders, who went to university with Pip and was one of her early investors. He couldn't resist the chance to join Dan in the interview chair - and so he could ask Pip the difficult questions.

"Anxiety is a fixation on thinking about the future, that uncertainty of what might come.

My guest this week is Dan Murray-Serter. Dan is a serial entrepreneur, the co-founder of a brain care company called Heights and the host of the UK's number one business podcast, Secret Leaders.Dan's journey actually began from his own struggles with mental health: trying to solve his chronic anxiety and six-month-long insomnia. He tried everything from self-medicating with alcohol, without alcohol, saw a therapist, a doctor but to no avail. But when a friend asked whether he had considered his brain's nutrition as a cause, he decided to see a dietitian. He found out that he didn't have key nutrients needed for his brain and she recommended high quality supplements. His sleep dramatically improved.Dan's life is now focused on how he can improve brain care and he has created the ‘Smart Supplement' to help others on the same journey and teach them about how to feed the brain for it to thrive.

Yup, $65 billion. Woof.All this despite investors not being interested at the beginning which forced Jeff and his team to make a decision.“When choosing between listening to investors and customers, we're gonna choose customers. And we're gonna let customers guide our actions. And if that works, then investors will follow suit. And sure enough, they did.”But how did Jeff actually do it? How do you build a company like Twilio? We chat about:Learning how to start companies How big companies workHow to reinvent yourself if you want to stay CEO How to have difficult conversationsIPOing on the day of the Brexit vote

“I came across a job advert for a psychologist to join a matchmaking agency. I wouldn't describe myself as a spiritual person, but it just felt like my dad had sent [me] this opportunity. I had butterflies in my stomach. That was the moment that changed my life.”Are you unlucky in love? Or perhaps you're exploring a very niche entrepreneurial path, then don't miss Rachel Vida MacLynn, the founder of The Vida Consultancy, widely considered the best elite matchmaking agency in the world, on this week's Secret Leaders. “One of our biggest challenges is we don't get to keep our clients for a lifetime. We have to keep finding new clients because most of our clients only stay with us for 12 months, and they're expensive to acquire.”It's a fascinating niche - they're a matchmaking service for high net worth individuals, entrepreneurs and business people looking for long term relationships. “I've pulled more and more psychology into the service, because it's become more apparent to me that a lot of clients think they know what they want in a partner, but what they think they're looking for isn't actually right for them.”But how does elite matchmaking work? What is the business model for such a niche? What does it cost? And how did Rachel get into it in the first place? From starting up to international expansion, to learn about Rachel's incredible journey in elite matching and more, download and listen to this latest episode. We chat about:The role of psychology in matchmakingFinding customers for elite matchmakingFunding and international expansionWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

You might not have heard of today’s guest or his company, but if you’ve had a Covid jab in the UK (or are going to) there’s a good chance you’ve used their tech. Laurence Bargery is co-founder of accuRx, a healthtech supplier trusted by 99% of GPs, and with ⅓ of all vaccine bookings in the UK now taking place through their systems.“Within about four or six weeks of us releasing this suite of Covid tools we'd gone up from that 50% point to about 99% of GPs using us.”Laurence and co-founder Jacob Haddad built a tool to allow GPs and other healthcare providers to communicate more effectively with their patients. To date, their software is used by 7,000+ GP surgeries and has messaged 30m+ patients. But they didn’t start out down this avenue. In fact, they started off looking at antibiotic resistance, but the market wasn't there, so they pivoted. They knew they wanted to create something that added value to healthcare, but not knowing enough about the industry and its sticking points, they immersed themselves in a GP practice. “And that's where this idea came from, of something super simple we can do that's going to be really powerful when applicable to so many of the problems in general practice and healthcare and ultimately, that was communication.”From getting traction with GPs, to building individual Wix websites, Laurence shares how they grew accuRx pre-Covid, to how they've dealt with the explosive growth during and post the pandemic.If you’re a founder and you’ve had to pivot your business, or you’re thinking about pivoting, don’t miss this latest episode of Secret Leaders. We chat about:Pivoting the business to accuRxDealing with explosive growthStrategically handling 99% market shareMonitoring employee engagement  Links:Jacob HaddadWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

His current venture - Heights, is a company he co-founded to tackle his own mental health and combat his chronic anxiety and six-month-long insomnia.“Someone recommended I see a dietitian, and the dietician diagnosed me in seconds, she prescribed me supplements, and I was like, Oh, no, supplements don't work. But the supplements worked really quickly, within a week, and I was sleeping like a baby and my anxiety had gone away.”In this latest episode of Hyper Curious, you'll learn about why you need to do more of the things that feed your soul and give you energy. You’ll get a better understanding of the concept of brain care and how much nutrition impacts our mental health. And finally, Dan explains the importance of being an outsider asking the most basic questions and following your curiosity to make great products.“In our genuine stupidity, our total lack of category understanding meant that we were like, well, let's just ask all the questions from the ground up and go from there. And what ended up is a totally different product to anyone else in the market.”This is a fantastic episode jam-packed full of brain care advice and startup advice.

Throughout the season so far, we've looked at how best to market your brand on social by looking into human psychology but we haven't yet spoken to business owners who have created, built and grown their company using social media primarily. In this episode, we speak to both Jack Brewitt, CEO of 92 Degrees Coffee andDan Murray-Serter, founder of 'brain food' supplement subscription brand, Heights. You might also know Dan as the co-host of the popular Secret Leaders podcast.  Jack has a primarily Bricks and Mortar business but on the other hand, Dan has an online subscription model business. Alex and Joe thought that they would both be immensely insightful people to speak to, not only because they are both founders but because they both have very different perspectives and experiences of building their brands online.  Head to Campfire's website http://campfire.co.uk to find out more about this episode and the team.

Wellness and Brain Potential with Dan Murray-Serter So where did all this stuff about brain potential come from? Well, Dan is an Arsenal fan. He grew up just around the corner from Arsenal's ground and found his love for the team when they were an awesome team. Dan understands awesome. He's now doing something in a similar way for us all. A passion for wellness and the things that can affect the brain positively is driving a new business, hitherto called Dawn, but soon the name will be changed to Heights. This is a fascinating podcast, with Dan Murray-Serter, a fellow podcaster himself - listen here Secret Leaders. Dan loves cats. There was some recent publicity about how cats adopt the personality of their owners. One of Dan's cats, he explains dangerously is similar to his wife - given the choice would just sleep all day and have her stomach rubbed. His cats are Ragamuffins. A fairly rare breed. They are friendly and attention needy. So, yes, his cats he says are similar! Secret Leaders Podcast Dan hosts his Secret Leaders podcast. It started 2.5 years ago. He was lucky as in London he gets to meet some very interesting people. His secret leaders are often entrepreneurs and investors. He'd always asks them about the bad times. He has had leaders and founders from: Moonpig Photobox Just Eat Shazzam Joe Malone Prince Andrew - he went to Buckingham Palace to record the podcast. Amazing place with secret tatty rooms. Dan learns most when they share their most challenging times and what they did. He is himself a talkative person. The podcasts were a place where he learnt questioning skills. Just do it, was the attitude he had when he started. See his You Tube Video on Secret Leaders and setting up a podcast - click the image. or read his LinkedIn post here: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-start-record-produce-distribute-grow-podcast-dan-murray-serter/ Dawn Dan's last business was Grabble, an Ecommerce app. It became the number one shopping app, with over 1 million users. Lots of revenue but no profit. He built the company incredibly fast, made some errors. All by the age of 30. When he was still running Grabble, Dan became fascinated with brain potential. It was anchored from a desire to become more productive. How to get more things done in a day. This lead Dan and his partner Joel to explore fasting, and nutrition and supplementation. During this time Dan became aware of the plight of the planet. He became interested in becoming vegan. Joel challenged Dan to become vegan. Dan took up the challenge. Cold Turkey Transfer to Vegan Moving from being a carnivore to vegan was not hard. Chicken, steak was a big loss, but your appetite changes over time. Suddenly he became aware of short term memory concerns. He worried that it was early onset dementia. He didn't know what was going on. He read a book by Patrick Holford - Optimum Nutrition for the Mind   It was common. If you cut out fish and eggs, you cut out nutrients your brain needs. He tried fish and eggs again, and he was fine. A diet for the brain Brain potential became an idea for Dan. He looked at mental health too. This lead to a baseline. http://thenext100days.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Dan-Murray-Serter-1a.mp4 So, whilst he was shutting down Grabble, he took the ideas of the public health model. When you are sick you go to the doctors or hospital. However, when you are well and are looking for marginal improvements in your health, to at least bring things back to a baseline, where do you go? Mental health - if you are below par, you should go to a professional. But the idea for Dawn was a range of supplements for braintenance. Healthy things that contain nutrients to improve and balance your brain. Patrick Holford is now an adviser. A two pills a day multi-vitamin for consumers. With an outer layer of algae oil and inner pill, floating inside. Look cool, good for you,
