Raj Thiruchelvarajah was running a health and fitness business when his co-founder sent him a document that changed everything. It was an idea about wearable blood flow restriction technology. Within months, Raj had shut down his original company and gone all-in on Hydro.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Raj explains the exact moment he knew they had to pivot — the internal disagreements, the decisive call he had to make as CEO, and why April 2022 was the turning point that blew the business up.From Leeds Rhinos to Newcastle United, Leicester Tigers and the Washington Commanders, Hydro is now embedded across 80+ elite sports teams globally. This is the story of how focus — not funding — made that possible.Key Takeaways• Why trying to serve every customer nearly killed the business• How one decisive pivot to pro sports transformed growth• The screw it just do it moment that started it all• Why experience matters more than age in founding a startup

For 20 years Dominic Day knew exactly who he was.Professional rugby player. Wales international. Saracens. Bath.Then it stopped.No changing room. No match day. No structure. Just questions.Who am I now? Dad? Founder? Ex-player?In this conversation Dom talks about what it actually feels like when 20 years of identity ends overnight, what the transition from elite sport into business is really like, and why the best opportunities in his life — playing in Japan, moving to Bath, starting FourFive with George Kruis — have always been on the other side of fear.Key Takeaways:- Why Dom was wildly unprepared for retirement despite every club having a support system- The identity question he is still working through years after leaving rugby- The 30-year regret test he uses for every major decision- What it actually felt like when three orders came through on a website they'd only just switched on- Why balancing fatherhood and building FourFive is the hardest thing he has ever had to do

What does it actually take to back yourself when the whole world seems to doubt you? In this episode, Sean sits down with Travis McGregor, a technology pioneer working to reinvent how the world handles security from the cloud to the edge, including building a world-first innovation in just 90 days. Travis opens up about the defining moment at 22 years old when he froze on stage in front of a thousand people after his team changed his entire keynote without warning, and how that humbling experience shaped him into the prepared, accountable leader he is today. You'll hear how Travis learned to stop second-guessing himself, why true belief in your own ideas is a deeply personal journey, and how choosing to fall on his sword rather than point fingers became the foundation of his leadership philosophy.──────────────────────────────────────────────────────

Daniel Priestley started every one of his businesses on a credit card.No investor deck. No grant. No seed round. A mentor he shadowed, a sales muscle he built from scratch, and a clear-eyed read of where the economy was heading.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, I ask Daniel the one question that cuts to the heart of every founder journey: what was the single thing you needed to go from where you were to where you are now?His answer is not what most people expect. And the framework he uses to explain why enterprise has become the only factor of production that matters in the digital age is one of the clearest things I have heard on this show.If you are stuck waiting for the right moment, the right funding, or the right connection, this is the episode that reframes all of it.Key Takeaways- Why working for a founder beats any formal business education- How a credit card became the launchpad for a multi-million pound business- Why sales is not optional, it is the foundation- What the shift from the industrial age to the digital age actually means for founders right now

Leroy Kincaide has lived about five lives already.Undertaker at 17. Professional wrestler. WWE SmackDown. Writer. Director.But this episode isn't really about any of those things.It's about what happens when you see mortality up close at a young age — and how that one experience changes the way you view every decision you'll ever make.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Leroy talks about working as an undertaker at 17 and the perspective it gave him on time, instinct, and purpose. He shares the moment he walked into WWE — unannounced — and just knocked the door. And he explains why he ignored years of doubt to make his debut feature film for £27,000, which went on to be picked up by Samuel Goldwyn and land on Hulu.This is a conversation about listening to the voice that tells you where you're supposed to go. And the cost of ignoring it.Key Takeaways• Why working as an undertaker at 17 changed Leroy's relationship with time forever• The inner calling that wouldn't go away — from wrestler to filmmaker• The screw it just do it moment at WWE SmackDown• Why he did the pitch of his life on the same day he lost his grandmother• The difference between being happy and being content

Roei Samuel built his first company at 21. Real Sport was a content creation toolkit for the sports industry — working with the Premier League, NBA and NFL — before being acquired by Gfinity in 2018. Then came the identity crisis. The "who am I now?" moment that every founder dreads.What followed was Connected: a fractional talent marketplace that has grown from zero to 7,000 customers in just over four years, raised $20 million, and is now operating across five global cities.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, Roei breaks down the exact moment AI became Connected's biggest growth driver — and why it wasn't just productivity that changed, but the entire labour market. He shares why he spoke to 100 people before building anything, how he's generated 7–8 figures from LinkedIn without spending a penny, and why product is no longer the moat for modern founders.Key Takeaways• Why AI is driving both productivity gains and mass corporate layoffs — and how Connected benefits from both• How to validate a startup idea by speaking to 100 people before building• Why distribution and attention now matter more than product• The identity crisis every founder faces after an exit• How weekly therapy has made Roei a better CEO

Eugene Amo-Dadzie has been fast his whole life. He knew it. His teachers knew it. His parents knew it.He just never actually tried.From the age of nine, Eugene was the fastest kid in the school. He grew up watching Usain Bolt and dreamed of the track. But running was always just a hobby — something to enjoy, never something to pursue. His parents pushed academics. His culture valued qualifications. And somewhere along the way, Eugene made a quiet peace with never finding out how good he actually was.For years he was the guy who said: if I had tried, I could have done it.Then, at 26, standing beside an athletics track in Woodford, his best friend turned to him and said: think you could put a pair of spikes on and beat these guys?In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Eugene tells the story of what happened when he finally said yes. A debut season that ended with a torn hamstring. A British Championship silver medal. A sub-10-second 100 metres. And a semi-final at the World Athletics Championships — where he lined up against the Olympic champion, the World champion, and the Commonwealth champion in the same race.All of it starting at 26. All of it built around a full-time accounting career, a wife, a daughter, and a job he loves.Key Takeaways- Why Eugene spent years believing in his talent without ever testing it — and what finally changed- What the Parable of the Talents taught him about buried potential- How to handle a setback that arrives before you have even properly started- What it takes to balance elite sport with a full-time career, a family, and faith

Caryl Meyers was a professional West End dancer. An injury ended her career with no plan B.That same no-plan-B mentality drove her from Apple business specialist to digital course builder to one of the most practical voices on AI implementation for founders in the UK.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, I sit down with Caryl to talk about why most founders are getting AI completely wrong, why tools without infrastructure create more problems than they solve, and how her Simplify, Automate, Amplify framework helps founders compete at scale without a large team.We get into speed to lead, the opportunity quadrant, and why the founders who do not adapt now will find themselves looking up at competitors they did not even know existed.Key Takeaways• Why choosing tools over infrastructure is the number one AI mistake founders make• The Simplify, Automate, Amplify framework explained step by step• How AI levels the playing field for a team of one• What happens to founders who wait

Kirk Miller spent five years as a plumber who hated every day of it.He was in shape. He had the body. He looked like he had it together. Internally, he was miserable.In 2010, he won the Men's Health cover model competition and used that moment as the proof he needed to jump. He quit with five hours of personal training booked, no car, and a borrowed work van to get around Coventry. As long as he could pay his bills, eat, and keep a roof over his head, he was going.Twenty years later, Kirk runs Built To Last, a six-pillar performance coaching system used by founders, CEOs, and high-net-worth entrepreneurs who want to stop treating their health as an afterthought and start building it as a competitive advantage.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, Kirk and Alex unpack why the systems that worked in your twenties will not carry you through building a business, why willpower is not a strategy, and what two decades of coaching high performers has taught Kirk about the real cost of founders ignoring their health.Key Takeaways:- Why most founders are using outdated health systems built for a life they no longer live- The three non-negotiables to schedule every week before anything else- Why your state drives your decisions and what that costs you in business- The difference between emotional confidence and the confidence tied to your bank balance- What the most emotionally content and consistently wealthy entrepreneurs Kirk coaches all have in common

No one selling to them.She saw it… and decided to build anyway.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Laura Fullerton talks about the Screw It Just DO It moment that led her to build a hardware and software business from scratch, why fundraising nearly broke her last year, and the one thing she believes every founder gets wrong before they get it right.We also get into what it actually costs to build a company, why quitting is not even an option for a certain type of founder, and why your network is the only asset that compounds in the same way as your ambition.Key Takeaways:Why markets often exist before businesses doThe importance of noticing behaviour, not ideasWhat early-stage building actually demands mentallyWhy network becomes leverage under pressure

The Keys That Bind Us - Ep 39 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD available at: https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU Show Notes  Welcome to Episode 39! – 2:13         Feeling lots of gratitude and a little sadness which we will talk about. Big thank you to you for supporting long-form audio content! Gratitude for the recent wave of growth of SQ, which has been downloaded in 57 countries, including a small wave in Vietnam. And, my wife and I have a strange, yet predictable real-life WoW interaction at a car dealership, of all places. Listen on, my friend!   News – 6:37 Race to World First update, really? Don't look here for final scores, but I love the surprise secret phase which generated excitement in WoW and even in the wider gaming community – WoW in the wider culture! And then they released 12.0.5 which launched many features and many more bugs to fix. What is going on at Blizzard that this gets released in this state? I suggest the 8-week patch cycle be returned to the 11-week model of the Legion era.   A Farewell to Bricco – 34:57 April saw the loss of former WoW podcaster and bright light in the WoW community Bricco. What started as sad news went deeper for me the more I looked into his WoW life. Husband, father, friend, and so much more, he will be missed by many, especially for his unending positivity. The Third Faction podcast's tribute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-v6QITm9Mo   Drink of the Month – 49:51 This real glass of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Barrel-Strength Rye checks in at 130.1 proof. I tip the glass in honor of Bricco.   More Than a Quest Giver – The Chronicle of Lesser Known Azerothians – 51:35 The first of hopefully many short introductions to below top-tier NPCs beginning with the badass orc Ritssyn Flamescowl!   Emergency Bonus News – 56:34 0.7 gets announced chock full of features, but will it be another 8-week patch cycle fiasco? Bellular 12.0.7 preview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzQuzJtQfqk&t=180s I invent the Running of the Kul Tirans community event with a sweet customization as a reward – make it so, Blizz! TurtleWoW gets shut down and I get a content creator invite to a brand new “private” server – I call them illegal servers.   Main Topic: Changing Keybinds After 11 Years – 1:13:57 One-button rotation breaks the logjam of not wanting to change my keyboard commands and keybindings. The images will appear in the SQ Discord. I claim no expertise on this topic, but hope you enjoy me explaining my process that took nearly as long as this segment.   “What Have You Done Lately?” – 2:00:11     Crickets. Busy time of year. Getting alts to work on side questing. The debate about getting time in game led me to actually say the b-word out loud, burn out.   Question Queue – 02:09:27   I posed the question to the SQ of how long are your breaks from WoW? Times varied, but it is becoming clear to me that it is okay to take some time away.   Closing Thoughts – 2:15:26 But, I am still loving making this show, even when it's difficult. BlizzCon is in 4 months! One last thanks to Bricco…   Outro – 2:18:25 Thanks to you, to Blizzard for the amazing music and sound, to OGRE for intro/outro music, my lovely and supportive wife, my family, and YOU for listening.

Dr Guy Sandleowsky spent six years becoming a vet. He was seeing 20 to 30 pets a day. He was heading toward a specialist surgery career. And he chose to walk away.Not because it was not working. Because it was not enough. He wanted to help hundreds of thousands of animals, not dozens. And he believed a business could get him there.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, Guy explains how he left a clinical career everyone around him supported to do an MBA no one thought he needed, how he co-founded Omni using novel proteins to address a dog health crisis most owners do not know exists, and what happened when he and his co-founder walked into Dragons' Den with a dog that immediately ate six portions and was sick on camera.Key Takeaways:- Why the moment that almost stopped him was not failure but fear of wasted sacrifice- How 91% approval from raw-meat-feeding dog owners proved the product before a single ad was spent- What Stephen Bartlett and Deborah Meaden actually said when the cameras stopped rolling- Why Guy has refused to hide who he is despite losing investment deals because of it- The practical advice for anyone sitting on a business idea while still in a job

Could we one day bypass heart blockages without ever opening the chest? In this episode of The Heart of Innovation, Kym McNicholas and Dr. James Joye, who invented PTAB (minimally invasive leg bypass device) sit down with Dr. Chris Bruce, the lead author of a groundbreaking NIH and Emory study that has achieved a world first: a fully percutaneous (catheter-based) coronary bypass. Known as the VECTOR procedure, this technique was recently used to save a patient whose anatomy made a traditional heart valve replacement life-threatening. By building an "extra-anatomic" bypass from the aorta to the coronary artery—all through a small puncture in the leg—Dr. Bruce and his team have opened a new frontier in cardiac care. We discuss how they "poked a hole" through the heart to save a life and whether this technology could eventually replace traditional bypass surgery for common blockages. #heartvalve #coronarybypass #heartbypass #heartsurgery #globalpadassociation #heartdisease

We're all about Easter, with both the Noblegarden festival and the Race to World First this week. Liz starts off recounting the epic Race to World First, which started off a little ho hum with a split tier, but took a few wild turns toward the end. Then, we talk Noblegarden, and Joe and Matt wondered whether Liz needed an intervention because she isn't excited about this year's transmog offerings. But Liz had a lot of heavy lifting to do this week, with both a new HearthstoneBattlegrounds season and a new Overwatch hero announced. But admittedly, nothing is as cute as Jeff the Land Shark. Not even Jetpack Cat.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

They hit December with no money left.No salary. No backup plan.Just one decision to make:quit... or remove the option to quit completely.Simon Gardiner built Carrington West from a garage during the worst recession in decades.But the real turning point wasn't the start.It was the moment there was no way out.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Simon shares the moment he and his co-founder James sat in a pub at Christmas with no funds, no revenue, and a stark choice: fold the business or grind it out from scratch. They chose to grind.That decision built what is now a £100 million revenue business and the UK's recognised best employer.We talk about why Simon wants it to take 10 years, why early struggle is not something to hide from, and why building a facade of success before you have earned it is one of the most dangerous things a founder can do.Key Takeaways• Why there is no substitute for the resilience built in the early years• What happened when they reframed the entire business at Christmas with no money left• Why Simon never wants to sell and what European founders understand that UK founders often miss• The danger of flooding your environment with luxury before you have earned it

She sold her business.And in the process, gave away something she should never have signed over.Calypso Rose built multiple businesses from scratch with just £2,000. One became the number one product in Selfridges.

Bollocks.His second? A plan.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Iain explains how a brain cancer diagnosis became the clearest direction he had ever been given, why he calls himself the luckiest unlucky man in the world, and how he turned a prognosis into a pursuit of two Guinness World Records and a mission to raise millions for cancer charities.We talk about the difference between a diagnosis and a prognosis, why cancer gave him a road he did not have before, and what it looks like to build a following of over over nine million people one video at a time, without ever knowing how much time you have left.Key Takeaways• Why finding cancer accidentally in a medical trial MRI was the luckiest thing that ever happened to him• How he went from solutions mode to world record pursuit within a week of his prognosis• Why cancer was the best thing that happened to his life• What it looks like when every single daily action is connected to one goal

Midnight Meanderings - Ep 38 SOLO QUEUE DISCORD now available:  https://discord.gg/nXQVqERcSU Show Notes  Welcome to Episode 38! – 2:13         Time to pin you down and force you to listen to what I think of Midnight so far.  Or maybe just entertain you while you work or commute or mow the lawn or whatever it is you are doing.  Thanks for bringing Solo Queue along!  By the way, the countdown checklist idea on a podcast on the day that the U.S. launched four astronauts towards the Moon is sheer coincidence.  In fact, my intro preview came out to Patreon supporters days ago.  Serendipity, baby!   News – 6:37 SQ Socials news Horde neighborhood – Desolate Collective – finally figured out how to add members beyond those on the original charter; not great for momentum, but the key was, as I suspected, strip down to no add-ons and the invite button on the roster actually functioned properly! The test was Gershom and she is the first new member; reach out in game or out if you want to move your Horde house to the Desolate Collective The SQ Guild Solo Together is strong and growing. You can find it in the Alliance Guild Finder, but it is open to both factions.  We have an Alliance side Guild Neighborhood that is open to members of the guild.  If you want to join, just reach out and we will get you an invite, Horde or Alliance.  It is a bunch of cool people of many different backgrounds hanging out, checking in on each other, all very casual.  New Discord link: https://discord.gg/N86fhRkDem  If you are good people, come check it out.  I am @sweeperdave on Discord and of course, soloqueuewow on everything else out there. GT change/delay – yeah, life finds a way into all of my plans; GT on hold, but will return; also quietly on hold is this year's 64-competitor single-elimination tournament among Warcraft characters will take a year off. Rufus is available, Habitat for Humanity; through May 12; The mini war hammer in the mouth is amazing. Music video/marketing from WoW and the musician Aurora is fantastic S1 – what is open, what is left? A lot of S1 is now open with the arrival of M+ keystones last week and the Darkway delve. For raids, the Voidspire and the Dreamrift both opened on Mythic difficulty.  All other diff of the Dreamrift, the one-boss raid, opened the previous week.  For the Voidspire, LFR wing 2 is available, as is the as-yet-unimproved Story Mode version. Coming this week with the March 31 reset is wing 3 of LFR for VS along with the Normal, Heroic, and Mythic versions of the 3rd raid of Midnight, March on Quel'Danas. This is a 2-boss raid.  The Raid Finder/LFR and SM versions arrive the following week on April 7.  And the final delve, the Parhelion Plaza opens this week as well.  New nemesis for the season is Nullaeus, and Valeera Sanguinar is here to help you through all of the Delves. A Race to World First update? On Solo Queue? 9 bosses from all 3 of the raids, with of course the final 2 bosses taking the stage on Tuesday with the launch of the March on Quel'Danas. As of the time of recording, there are three familiar names that have cleared the first two raids and are awaiting the penultimate boss: Liquid, Echo, and Method.  Six more teams are trying to take down the final boss, identified as the Crown of the Cosmos in the Adventure Guide. Spring sale on Bnet – pets and mounts and packs of stuff, along with certain game services Twitch drop is the Cuddly Void Grrgle; before April 23; watch 4 hours of WoW on Twitch 0.5 preview of what is interesting No release date yet, but an 8 week cycle would be April 28, so there is still plenty of time. The Voidforge will help to upgrade gear. That said, the Nebulous Voidcores that you will need to upgrade gear come from M+ d, raids, Bountiful Delves, and Nightmare level Prey Hunts.  More open-world activities launch with 12.0.5 with Void Assaults comprised of Void Strkes and Void Incursions. Another activity is Ritual Sites, a tiered scenario that can be tackled solo or with a party of up to five players. Add the underwater fishing activity called Abyss Anglers and it seems like there will be a lot of options to freshen up your routine midway through Season 1 of Midnight.   Class Identity Challenge – 27:45 On Azeroth Morning Radio, Jibbs described his connection to the Paladin class to his own life and that got me thinking about why I identify with my favorite class, Druid of course.    Hero's Call Co-Opted – 36:33 And continuing with AMR-adjacent content, I low-key (as my 9th grade students say) stole the Hero's Call Board segment from them for a good reason, to highlight someone awesome in the WoW community.   “What Have You Done Lately?” – 53:56        Honestly, not enough Warcraft, but both Haranir characters have been created bringing the active roster to 69.  My oldest active character, and possibly my first character, is the first Horde character to start an expansion for me, and he has hit 90 and already wiped once in the “Story” Mode raid.  Oof.   Main Topic:  My Midnight Experience – 1:29:19 Walking through the leveling campaign going through my thoughts on the zones, storylines, music, graphics, and selected systems in Midnight. Silvermoon City – 1:39:22 Eversong Woods – 1:45:20 Arator's Journey – 1:55:22 Zul'Aman – 1:59:48 Harandar – 2:07:41 Voidstorm – 2:17:40   Closing Thoughts – 2:25:26 Wrapping it all up, including my brief thoughts on the so-called “Story” Mode raid for the Voidspire and a potential reveal of the final boss…   Outro – 2:37:10 Thanks to all of you for your patience in waiting for this episode, Blizzard for the amazing music and sound, to OGRE for intro/outro music, my lovely and supportive wife, my family, and YOU for listening.

Jason thought he had already failed at 22.He was 22 years old when he found out he was going to be a father.He was living in a flat, going out every weekend, talking about the business he was going to start one day.Then everything changed.He moved 26 miles away to a town where he knew nobody, walked away from his social life, and started an electrical engineering company in a garden shed. No fanfare. No safety net. Just a decision to stop waiting.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, Jason and Alex talk about what financial freedom actually means, why most entrepreneurs are chasing the wrong goal, and how Jason grew a YouTube channel to half a million subscribers with zero ad spend and generated 12 million dollars through a single funnel in under a year.Key Takeaways• Why chasing financial freedom is often the wrong goal• How one week of reading YouTube analytics changed everything• The product ecosystem thinking that generated 12 million dollars in 10 months• Why most content creators fail from day one• How to know when enough is enough

This was the first week of Midnight Season 1, so we started off talking about the new dungeons and raids -- and what we got in our first Great Vault of Midnight. Our hosts that raid also did a bit of a post-mortem on how the addon apocalypse is shaking out in practice. And speaking of the revamps for Midnight, our first Trial of Style since the transmog revamp is now live, and it is not going well. There are plenty of other things to explore, though -- maybe even a little too much? Delves and dungeons and Prey and housing and now a raid, and its accompanying Race to World First? It's kind of a lot.But to slow it down a bit, both the upcoming patch to Mists of Pandaria Classic and the new music video collab with Aurora really hit all those nostalgia buttons.If you have a few minutes, please fill out our survey to tell us what you think about the podcast.

Darren O'Reilly spent his early years on the professional rugby pitch, representing giants like Leinster and Harlequins and playing in an underage World Cup for Ireland. In that world, his nutrition was meticulously managed by club staff; every meal was tailored for recovery and performance.Then he made the transition to corporate life, and the system broke.Without a team of nutritionists, Darren found himself skipping breakfast and relying on "nutritionally disastrous" meal deals, leading to an unintentional 20kg weight loss. He realized he wasn't alone; the corporate office was a breeding ground for poor nutritional habits that affected focus and energy.In this episode of ScrewItJustDoIt, Darren explains why he teamed up with senior nutrition lecturer Dr. Brian Carson to launch Wholesup, how they spent two and a half years bootstrapping the business before seeking investment, and the massive logistical hurdles they faced navigating Brexit shipping between the UK and Ireland.We also unpack the science behind functional superfoods like organic cherries and beetroot, the decision to invest in home-compostable packaging that costs two-thirds more than plastic and why being "all in" is the only way to survive the manufacturer "plug-pulling" of the startup world.This is not just about a protein shake. It is about redefining the ritual of functional food for the modern lifestyle.Key Takeaways • How to transition the discipline of a professional athlete into the startup world • The reality of bootstrapping a physical product for over two years • Navigating the "silent pandemic" of poor nutrition in the corporate environment • Why sustainability and B Corp values must be built into the brand from day one

A European particle physics laboratory has transported antimatter by truck for the first time, moving a trap of 92 antiprotons across their main site in a careful test.

Most founders focus on raising capital.Dom focused on timing, expertise and people.In this Bite Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, I sit down with Dominic McGregor, co founder of Social Chain and founder of Fearless Adventure. Dom started Social Chain at just 20 years old and helped scale it into one of the most influential social media agencies in the world before exiting through a $200 million IPO.But the journey was not built on hype or overnight success.Dom explains the moments that mattered. The decisions that changed the trajectory of the company. And the lessons founders miss when they focus too much on capital instead of capability.We also discuss sobriety, personal discipline and why scaling a company is ultimately about people and timing rather than ideas alone.If you are building something and wondering what it really takes to scale, this conversation offers a rare look behind the scenes of a founder who did it before turning thirty.Key TakeawaysTiming matters more than ideas: Many founders obsess over originality. Dom argues timing is often the real difference between success and failure.Expertise beats capital: Raising money is not the hardest part of scaling. Building the right team with real experience is.People determine scale: The fastest growing companies are rarely built by one person. They are built by strong teams aligned behind the same mission.

They didn't grow up in the drinks industry. They didn't have investors lined up. They had £12,000, two corporate jobs, and a spicy margarita made on a balcony during lockdown.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, I sit down with Alice Parmiter and Wynter Karo, co-founders of Pimentae, to unpack how they turned a tequila knowledge gap into one of the UK's fastest-growing tequila cocktail brands.From discovering real tequila culture in Mexico to spotting a gap in UK supermarkets, they bootstrapped their first 1,400 bottles, hand-delivered influencer hampers, and then put £20,000 down to run a festival bar with no safety net.That decision funded their business.Since then, they've raised £2 million, scaled into grocery, travel and festival spaces, navigated a product recall, and built a brand rooted in community and authenticity.This is not a “glam startup” story. It's about blind optimism, operational mistakes, difficult fundraising conversations, and staying aligned as co-founders.Key Takeaways• Why blind optimism is often required at the start• How bootstrapping builds stronger commercial discipline• The risks of taking the wrong investor too early• Why festivals became their most powerful customer acquisition tool• How authenticity protects your brand as you scale

Claire Warner helped build Belvedere Vodka for 15 years.She created 13 expressions. She climbed the ranks inside LVMH. She understood how premium alcohol brands scale.Then she made a call most people would avoid.She decided the world did not need another vodka.In this Bite-Sized episode of Screw It Just DO It, Claire explains why she left a secure leadership position to build Æcorn Drinks, how a forgotten 16th century acorn wine recipe became the foundation of a modern aperitif, and why launching three complex products at once was a risk worth taking.We also unpack what it means to build your own identity as the sister brand to Seedlip, how Covid disrupted their first real summer, and why innovation in this space has to be flavour-led, not alcohol-led.This is not about sobriety. It is about redefining the ritual.Key Takeaways• Why experience in a category can become a reason to leave it• The strategic risk of launching multiple SKUs at once• How to build brand distinction when linked to a market pioneer• Why aperitif culture matters more than alcohol percentage

Rory MacFadyen never planned to run an apparel brand.He was on a solid corporate trajectory in sport. Middle East sponsorship deals. Major events. A comfortable path.Then he saw the scale of waste in sportswear.At the same time, his best friend Pete discovered how to turn unlimited plastic waste into performance fabric.That was the spark.In this episode of Screw It Just DO It, Rory shares how Reflo was born, why they spent two and a half years developing sustainable performance fabrics before launching, and how they went from being doubted to landing partnerships with the Australian Open and the WM Phoenix Open.We talk about rejection, tall poppy syndrome in the UK, raising growth capital, bringing Harry Kane in as an investor, and why entrepreneurship is far harder than people think.This is not a fast-fashion story.It's about long-term thinking, graft, resilience, and trying to flip an industry on its head.Key Takeaways• Why there is never a perfect time to launch• How to build credibility before you look big• Why founders must sell, not just manage• The truth about hustle culture and burnout• How to build a brand rooted in mission, not marketing

When Dr Leah Totton applied for The Apprentice, she was a full-time NHS doctor with no business experience and a clear career path ahead in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.She didn't expect to win.But winning meant walking away from certainty and stepping into the unknown with Lord Alan Sugar as her business partner.In this episode, I sit down with Leah to unpack what really happened after the cameras stopped rolling. The cash flow stress. The competitor who copied her business model before she even opened. The shock of realising that even after national TV exposure, nobody was queuing outside the clinic.This is the reality of building a service-based business.Leah shares the mindset shift from doctor to entrepreneur, the discipline of sector expertise, and why quality control matters more than rapid scale. We also dive into her seven-year journey to launch a skincare line that she refused to rush, despite pressure to “just put something out”.If you are thinking of starting a clinic, a product brand, or any service-led business, this conversation is a masterclass in resilience and execution.Key TakeawaysGetting customers is harder than launching: Opening the doors is easy. Building trust takes years. Especially in health and aesthetics.Sector expertise protects your business: If you cannot deliver the core service yourself, scaling becomes fragile.Thick skin is not optional: Business is not personal. The sooner you understand that, the faster you grow.Quality compounds: Short-term speed can damage long-term trust. Leah chose slower growth with stronger foundations.

John Mietus is a composer, double bassist, and conductor, currently Associate Principal Bass with the Auckland Philharmonia. Born in Hong Kong and raised in Ohio, John started playing bass at age four and went on to study with some legendary teachers while building a career that spans orchestral playing, chamber music, teaching, and composition. In this episode, John and Jason dig into John's world-premiere performance of the "Butterfly Lovers Violin Concerto" (He Zhanhao and Chen Gang) on double bass with orchestra in Changsha, China, on January 1, 2026, and what it took to make a faithful transcription of such an iconic work. John shares how he approached the arranging process, why he ultimately chose fifths tuning, the practical realities of living in that tuning for months, and the string setup that helped him pull it off. They also discuss expanding the bass repertoire through transcription, the ways conducting and composing enhance a bassist's musicianship, and John's work as a teacher.

When I sat down with Robert Hanna, I did not hear a story about failure. I heard a story about comfort.He was a director at a legal recruitment firm. Well paid. Progressing. Respected. By most standards, successful.But approaching his 30th birthday, he realised something uncomfortable. He was building someone else's legacy, not his own.That realisation led to a decision. Start his own legal recruitment agency. Then take a bigger risk. Launch The Legally Speaking Podcast, not as a hobby, but as a long-term personal branding strategy.Today, that podcast is a global legal careers platform. It attracts high-quality clients, builds community in the legal industry, and has secured sponsorship from a $5bn legal tech unicorn.In this episode, we break down how personal branding, niche community building, strategic partnerships and content repurposing can transform a professional services business.If you are a founder thinking about building authority, launching a podcast, or turning content into commercial leverage, this conversation is practical and direct.Key TakeawaysComfort can quietly limit ambition. Ownership changes everything.Personal branding is not vanity. It is commercial leverage.Niche communities outperform broad audiences in professional services.Evergreen content becomes an asset when treated strategically.Strategic partnerships accelerate growth faster than going alone.
