    How to Build a Business Worth $400M (ft. Tobi Pearce)

    18/05/2026 | 1h 9 mins.
    In this episode I sit down with Tobi Pearce, co-founder of Sweat, one of the worlds most successful fitness apps, which went on to sell in a deal valued over $400M.
    But this isn’t a conversation about headlines. It’s a deep dive into what actually creates business value and why most founders misunderstand what an “exit” really means.
    From scaling Sweat in just a few years to deliberately designing a business to be sellable, Tobi breaks down the strategic decisions behind building an asset… not just an income.
    Inside this episode:
    Why most business exits are inefficient, overhyped, or poorly structured
    How to design your business to become a valuable, sellable asset
    The truth about valuations (and why they can swing dramatically)
    Why subscription models, structure, and risk reduction increase value
    The difference between owning, investing in, and acquiring businesses
    What founders get wrong about cash flow vs. capital growth
    Why selling your business doesn’t always create the lifestyle you expect 
    If you’re building a business and thinking about long-term wealth (not just short-term revenue) this episode will change how you approach growth, strategy, and exits.

    Why You’re Not Succeeding Yet (And What Actually Determines It)

    04/05/2026 | 13 mins.
    Most Loved Moment with Daine McDonald founder of Clean Health Institution. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting the results… this episode will challenge that.
    Because success in business isn’t just about strategy. And it’s definitely not about doing more.
    In this conversation, we break down what actually determines whether someone succeeds or not, from the very beginning.
    Not theories. Not motivation. Real patterns from someone who took 14 years to build an 8-figure business. 
    Inside this episode:
    The 3 traits that predict long-term success (and why most people don’t have them)
    Why passion alone isn’t enough without product-market fit
    The role of ego in slowing your growth
    What “skill stacking” actually looks like in 2026
    Why most people quit before anything starts working
    The truth about failure (and why avoiding it is costing you)
    This isn’t about quick wins. It’s about who you need to become to actually build something that lasts.

    I Found Out I Was Pregnant 6 Months Into Business… Now What? (ft. Liang-zi Grover)

    27/04/2026 | 52 mins.
    If you’ve ever wondered how pregnancy actually fits into building a business, this is the conversation most people avoid having honestly.
    In this episode, I sit down with Liang-zi Grover, founder of boutique talent agency Possee Creative, to unpack what it really looked like navigating her pregnancy & postpartum less than a year into starting her business.
    We go beyond surface level advice and into the decisions, pressure and structure required to make both work.
    We cover:
    – What a talent manager actually does (and why negotiation is where most creators lose money)
    – How to approach brand deals starting from value, not deliverables
    – The exact moment she found out she was pregnant… and what shifted immediately
    – Why asking for help is the skill most founders avoid and regret
    – How your business doesn’t stop, but how you show up will change
    – Financial planning, retainers, and building a buffer before stepping back
    – Letting go of judgment and accepting that two emotions can coexist

    Weekly Structure I Use to Avoid Burnout as a Founder

    20/04/2026 | 34 mins.
    In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact weekly structure I use as a founder, so I can grow my business without constantly feeling 'on'.
    Because when you work for yourself, no one is setting your hours. And if you don’t build that structure intentionally, burnout becomes the default.
    Inside this episode:
    What my week actually looks like (CEO days, client blocks, overflow time)
    Why I batch my calls instead of spreading them across the day
    The 'close loops' hour that helps me properly switch off
    How I think about capacity (and why most people underestimate it)
    Structuring my work around my energy, not just my calendar
    Boundaries with clients and protecting your time
    This isn’t about doing less. It’s about building a week that can actually support the business you’re growing.
