Rob is questioning the hypocrisy happening right now surrounding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Listen in to hear Rob’s thoughts on what is happening, what he thinks is behind it and how he doesn’t defend corruption at all but that it is important to call out hypocrisy. KEY TAKEAWAYS Sanctions are better than sending in tanks, troops etc. However, are the people they are targeting right and in some cases, why has it taken so long? In some cases the corruption has been known about for a long time but has been ignored until the Ukrainian invasion. This hypocrisy raises questions, we can’t just use people when it benefits us and banish them when they are no longer useful. Mainstream media and big tech have so much power, they are controlling the narrative. We need to push back against this. BEST MOMENTS “And now they are all turning on him like he has done something new, like there is a new revelation” “Are they all going to get sanctioned when it suits?” “Nato intervention is World War 3”   VALUABLE RESOURCES https://donation.dec.org.uk/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

The US has said that China will face harsh consequences if they are found to be helping Russia. Listen in to this episode to hear Rob’s thoughts on this and what he feels the wider implications, warnings and lessons are from this statement. KEY TAKEAWAYS The wider implications of US stating this worries Rob. He believes this means that support from China to Russia could ultimately end up causing World War 3. Anyone who knows Rob, knows that he isn’t a scaremonger. He is optimistic but can’t ignore everything happening in the world right now, this would be ignorant. He believes planning for the downsides or downturn of things protects you in most circumstances. Fear screams loudest when it’s frightened, This is why big media is pushing so hard at the moment, there is cancel culture and fear everywhere. BEST MOMENTS “One can only assume that the US feel that if China intervene or help Russia than that is also World War 3” “We’re de-evolving as a species!” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

In this episode, Rob speaks to former CEO of Ratner’s Jewellery, previously the UK’s largest jewellery chain, speaker, entrepreneur and author Gerald Ratner. They talk about his infamous speech and discuss and debate Money; what it is, how it’s changing and why it’s important. To hear Rob’s very first interview with Gerald, go to episode 16 on the Disruptors Podcast, he was one of the first people Rob interviewed when he first began podcasting! KEY TAKEAWAYS  After the infamous speech, Gerald Ratner lost half a billion. He says that people can learn from him and what he lost. When it happened it was devastating but he is now the happiest he has ever been. Some things really do happen for a reason. What hurt Gerald the most after the downfall, is thinking about all the work he had put into the business over the years and that it had all been taken away because of one foolish joke he made. He also feels sad that people thought he had contempt for his customers, which couldn’t be any further from the truth. When Gerald was making millions, money didn’t matter to him. He had enough for anything he desired and his real passion and excitement at the time was reserved for the business. This changed when he lost half a billion. He admits that you don’t know how to appreciate money until you no longer have it. There is nothing worse than being a failure and there is nothing better than being successful. We are put on this earth to work, challenge things and to compete against others. In business, you get the best brains. Successful business people do not spend their time trying to convince people they are brilliant, they just get on with things. Gerald does not believe money is evil. It’s important, making money takes skill and intelligence, you can do incredible things with money and make such a positive impact. No one should feel guilt for having money. You need entrepreneurs to generate profit to pay for services. The private sector supports the public sector. The government could learn a lot from entrepreneurs and businesses. Life is about balance, with work, money, tech and everything else. Spending 14 hour days at work for example, isn’t good for anyone. School is about training your brain. Teaching you to use it and to learn. this is how it aids you for the real world. You can’t be a wallflower is business. You need to be out there in the world, people need to know who you are and this translates onto social media too. Money doesn’t make Gerald happy. He of course would rather have money than not but you have to know how to use it and how to live the rest of live. On its own it’s not enough.   BEST MOMENTS  “To make money, you have to use your brain” “If you call one of your products crap then people think all your products are crap” “I believe the finest brains are in commerce” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Listen into this episode where Rob outlines why, after all his experience as an entrepreneur, he believes there are 7 key stages to business. He talks about what they are and how recognising them and focusing on the right things in each stage can help you with the success of your business; from start-up to exit! KEY TAKEAWAYS Ideation Stage: The idea stage. There’s a big difference between a desire and an idea. This is the stage where you actually create a firm idea of what your business will be. Start-up Stage: This is where the idea turns into a niche, a product and an actual business! Chaos Stage: This is the first stage of growth and you need to focus on sales and marketing. If things aren’t breaking and creating chaos then you aren’t selling enough! Systems Stage: Now is the time to create structure, processes and consistency but ensure you still keep an eye on your levels of service whilst creating and planning your systems. Scale-Up Stage: This is when you can start to gain market share and really create momentum as you now have the systems in place to support growth. Legacy Stage: When you start to mature as a business and begin to create sustainability and succession planning. Exist Stage: This is the final stage. There are quite a few different ways you can exit the business, ideally you want this to be retirement or selling! BEST MOMENTS “There are actually stages to grow a business and I believe there are 7” “Depending on your business depends how quick(ly) you can set up your minimum viable product” “If you want to scale your business…it’s absolutely vital that you have multiple streams of recurring income” [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors] VALUABLE RESOURCES https://donation.dec.org.uk/ukraine-humanitarian-appeal https://robmoore.com/ bit.ly/Robsupporter   https://robmoore.com/podbooks  rob.team  ABOUT THE HOST Rob Moore is an author of 9 business books, 5 UK bestsellers, holds 3 world records for public speaking, entrepreneur, property investor, and property educator.

Are you distressed about what is happening in the world right now? It’s normal to feel this way but Rob says we must remember to focus on what we can control. Listen into this episode to find out what things you can do to help the world right now and also how the decision to become financially free will not only benefit you, but the world around you too. Recurring Income Summit: ris.live KEY TAKEAWAYS When worrying about the state of the world, try and think of something you can actually do to help. Focus on small solutions that you can have control of. Rob uses his platforms to discuss big issues facing the world, this is how he contributes/makes a difference and in doing so is focusing on something he has control over. The one thing you can do to help against these wide reaching problems is to become financially secure and then financially free. This then allows you the freedom to help the world in many varying ways, in terms of money and time too. BEST MOMENTS “The problem with that is things outside of your control effect you” “People rate happiness, they rate wellbeing, they rate kindness and they rate spirituality but actually,  financial freedom creates all those things”.

Simon joins Rob in this episode where they talk about whether free content, information and services are better than paid. Simon believes free has more value but Rob disagrees. Listen in to find out why! KEY TAKEAWAYS Many businesses have been built on something ‘free’ such as Facebook and Instagram. But Rob quite rightly points out that someone always has to pay for free, using FB as the example, it wasn’t free to create and now it’s users are advertised to. Rob believes that you value things that you pay for. When you are given things for free you don’t value it in the same way. If you are going to do something for free then you need to ensure it has good value. A large chunk of society just cannot afford things. Free has a value for those who can’t afford to pay. Simon argues that podcasting provides a wealth of knowledge with breadth that not many other platforms can rival. Yet it’s free. His core belief and argument is that there are many things we can provide to people for free that have a higher value to society than if we charged for them.

Listen in to an intimate session with Rob with an Ask Me Anything! Rob talks honestly about the Ukraine War crisis, branding, marketing and even what he would do with a free weekend! An episode not to be missed. KEY TAKEAWAYS Allowing your self specific time (e.g a morning or even a whole weekend) to create your digital content can be a great way to kick start your online marketing. Joining industry-related FB groups is both and easy and free way to really up your marketing game. You can learn from others, share ideas as well as network. When it comes to branding, think about what is the singular thing you want to be known for, what is your signature content and how can you get it out there. Rob doesn’t have a lot of trust in mainstream media at the moment and so believes it’s important to bear this in mind when learning about current world events such as the conflict between the Ukraine and Russia. Growth on Instagram right now is all about reels. Focus on reels and move away from image and written content: Instagram are moving more towards being a video platform.

Elon has given the Ukraine a ‘back-up’ internet. This is an amazing story, listen in to Rob’s thoughts on this news story as well as the negative rhetoric that is often surrounding Elon Musk. KEY TAKEAWAYS A government official tweeted Elon Musk highlighting what was happening in the Ukraine and asking for starlink service – within 10 hours Elon had provided this. Elon musk has had a lot of criticism in recent times but who else could have provided a back up internet for the Ukraine? He deserves some credit for this. You may not be able to create back-up internet but we still all need to do our own bit against war. If we can help in any way we must do so. There is always something you can do, no matter how small it may seem.

Could the current Prince Andrew lawsuit be a tax write off? Inflation, cost of living and taxes are all going up at historic rates, is it right that the people should be paying for this? Rob discusses both these questions and more in this episode. KEY TAKEAWAYS All taxes are going up. If this lawsuit is paid for by the state then it will be public money paying for it. Rob personally believes this shouldn’t happen, it simply isn’t fair. Rob isn’t against the royals, he believes the Queen is a hard working public servant but this doesn’t mean this shouldn’t be challenged. The level of taxes at the moment aren’t sustainable.
