Two men who closed businesses sit down and talk.

Sam is a man of many talents and all-round awesome human. Always positive, a smile on his face and never afraid to give a hug.

He failed his A-levels and left college with a desire to be a footballer. He went through a series of jobs but always knew he wanted to work for himself. He tried and failed to be hairdresser. His tenacious spirit has lead him to make many mistakes and his resilience has helped him dust himself off and try again.

He has learned many lessons and his story is an inspirational one. One of his biggest lessons came when he chose to close his business after 3 years.

He has an amazing story of his business journey so far and he is open and honest about the ups, downs, mistakes and failure.

Frederick St. George MBE is a true inspiration. He has been working for himself in business alongside his Mum and family all his life.

In 1990, he started The Italian Job, a fundraising race from the UK to Italy in Minis. Their efforts have raised over £3 million pounds of children charities and earned him and his Mum an MBE. 

When he's not being an epic, philanthropic human he's running his print magazine franchise and other business interests.

We sit down to chat about this amazing business journey. He shares a wealth of information about his fundraising efforts and the episode is jam packed with useful information and advice about the franchising world.

If neither of those things are of interest, then you will enjoy listening to Freddie share his journey. He's a truly generous, kind and open human. Always worth a listen!

What happens when two entrepreneurs with ADHD and a propensity to swear record a podcast episode? Well, you can find out!

We joined forces to discuss the idea that "the rest is the work". Resting is as important as any work we do. Growing up in a society that vilifies laziness, rest and napping have led us to burnout and give ourselves a hard time if we're anything but productive and efficient.

We stick two fingers up to hustle culture and work every hour under the sun. We say hello to rest, naps, putting ourselves first and going unscheduled breaks when you can't be arsed!

Here are some key bits we discuss:

• What she means by "rest is the work"
• Why you should consider saying f*ck off to hustle culture, especially when you start a business.
• The most important thing you need to get right before you invest any money into advertising.
• Why you should avoid Bro Marketing.
• What success is, to her.
• Her experience of burnout and what she learned and now does differently.
• Why looking after your brain is vital if you are a solo entrepreneur.

Also, listen out for my exceptional impression of Alan Sugar. It's superb!
