Don't Work Harder We Interviewed 25 Successful Entrepreneurs in 2025 | These are Our Favourite Moments
Merry Christmas and welcome to a very special episode of Don’t Work Harder! 🎄
Join us as we reflect on an incredible first year of bringing you authentic conversations with entrepreneurs who’ve built successful businesses without simply “working harder.” 🎙️
We’re revisiting our top 10 most powerful moments from the past year - raw, honest conversations that challenged the hustle culture narrative and showed the real path to sustainable business success. ✨
We’ll show you some INCREDIBLE moments including… 🔥
How Lord Alan Sugar called Linda Plant to become an interviewer on The Apprentice and the serious responsibility behind the grilling: “Dig deep and give me good television” 📺
The moment Robin Waite broke down while cycling at 45mph and made the devastating decision to close his agency the next day, just weeks before his daughter was born 😮
Richard Moore learning resilience the hard way when his mum told him “you’re not coming home” while earning just £1,000 net per month with £800 rent 😬
Teresa Heath-Wareing’s powerful journey to sobriety and how getting sober felt like “cutting my arm off” - losing a whole part of her identity and brand 💛
Andy Lambert realising his “saviour mentality” was holding the business back and learning he couldn’t scale by being in every customer meeting
How Ryan Deiss accidentally “broke the internet” with a retirement announcement when Digital Marketer’s course sales dropped to just 20% of what they were 👀
The magic moment when Sinead Sharkey-Steenson and Lisa Strutt’s first event saw 150 people buy tickets for next year with no venue or speakers announced - and crashed their website 🎟️
Alice Benham losing £50k+ in recurring revenue overnight when all her direct debits were cancelled: “I gave myself 60 seconds to panic, then wrote a plan” 💪
Dani Wallace on the question that changed everything: “Who do I need to be in order to pull this off?” and learning to trust herself through every level of growth 🧠
Dr. Alka Patel ignoring the soft signals until they became loud shouts - ending up hospitalised for four weeks after pushing through burnout: “I met a 106-year-old who said ‘I’ve been kind to my body, so my body has been kind to me’” 🏥
Happy holidays from the Don’t Work Harder team! See you in the new year! 🎉
