Aston Merrygold: Rob Interviews with Global Pop Star from JLS [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

If you don’t disrupt yourself, someone else will. Netflix opened up the world of the subscription business model and in this episode, Netflix co-founder Marc Randolph speaks to Rob all about them! He discusses the beginnings of Netflix, why they chose a subscription-based business, how they found success and how you can too!   A valuable episode full of ideas, tips and wisdom on how to master entrepreneurship and build your own successful subscription-based business. KEY TAKEAWAYS  When Netflix began 23 years ago, the idea that Netflix would put Blockbuster out of businesses was ludicrous. At the time their goal was simply to have a business that was the size of just one single blockbuster. They had a few things going for them in the beginning, to start with Blockbuster as a company wasn’t liked due to poor customer service and things such as late fees. They decided to disrupt the industry and do things differently; they began with video-rental subscriptions, allowing people to rent as many DVDs as they wanted, for as long as they wanted, for one single recurring monthly fee. The rest is history. Marc is really encouraged by the creator economy and the strength of subscription-based businesses right now. The subscription-based business model has many upsides but the three that Marc attributes to its success the most are:-The ability to attain a customer once yet continually receive income from them.-The ability to take risks as a creator and entrepreneur because you only need to ensure you are providing overall value accumulatively rather than worrying about every single thing you create or do.-It’s predictable. Investors like this and you can also begin changing the amount of money and time you spend to acquire a customer. Netflix was uniquely designed to solve the tech issues they faced with streaming at the beginning. They were a team of engineers in a fast-changing tech world. When creating a subscription-based business you want to offer the customer the most flexibility. Not just because it is good for the customer but also because this way you will find out if what you’re doing is working (or not working!) the fastest. Allowing you to pivot and change early to create something successful. You have to be comfortable changing with your customers’ needs. You can’t sit still, customers don’t care what you have done in the past or what your current issues are they just have the expectation that you are going to offer them something they want. Retention is essential in this business model, to create a long-lasting and successful customer relationship. For creator platforms, such as Netflix and Rob’s own platform rob.team this is all about the content you provide. Your customer has to always feel like they are getting great content and therefore great value for what they are paying. Subscription sites such as Pateron allow creators to focus on creating. They don’t have to spend time thinking of all the tech and mechanisms of managing your subscribers and instead can 100% focus on creating. Good content is universal, demonstrated by the huge success Netflix had with the show Squid Game.   BEST MOMENTS  “Disruption is not easy but it’s always possible because the things you do most big companies are unwilling or unable or scared to do” “Now if I know this customer is going to be paying me $3 a month for three years, that’s a hundred dollars of value so now maybe I can spend $20, $30 or $50 dollars to acquire that customer…we are now willing to spend more to acquire that customer” “My feeling is always be trying things, always be testing things, always be challenging yourself and if you don’t start you’ll never get any place” “You want someone to be able to say no quickly as that’s the best indicator of whether you’re delivering value to them or not” “Always be willing to do what’s right for the future, even if it comes at the expense of the present” [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.

There’s a big misinformation war going on! It raises some interesting conversations around what misinformation is, what platforms responsibilities and roles are around free speech and how much control they should be allowed to have. In this episode, Rob joins the discussion and gives his take on the current scenario with Joe Rogan, Spotify and the likes of Neil young as well as his thoughts on the wider implications. KEY TAKEAWAYS  This scenario and similar situations, raise many questions around free speech. How much control should a platform have over the narrative? Joe Rogan was an interviewer in this scenario, not the interviewee, does he have a responsibility and obligation to censor the guests he interviews? We need to pay attention to these situations, if they are happening at the top, this will start to filter down to the rest of us. We must push back on cancel culture and threats of de-platforming. Everyone should be entitled to their own opinions, content and information. No one has all the information. BEST MOMENTS   “I think it’s really important that we all use our platforms to discuss this” “To attack him and his show for opinions of his guests I don’t think is right” “Is this a case of Joe Rogan is bigger than Neil Young, so bye?” [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.

Have you seen and heard the Molly Mae backlash ‘breaking the internet’? Rob wasn’t going to give his take when the drama first emerged but he can’t hold back any longer, listen in to this episode to hear his thoughts and opinions on what she said, ‘woke culture’ and how easily people seem to be offended in the world right now. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Molly Mae was on a podcast and said that you are given one life, that it’s up to you what you do with it, that we all have the same 24 hours in a day. The criticism and backlash she has received is down to the fact that many people feel like she doesn’t recognise her privileges. Rob believes what she has said is true though, we do all have the same 24 hours in a day, your background and situation doesn’t change that. It may make it more difficult but he agrees with Molly Mae that if you want something enough you will work to achieve it. Rob believes the reaction to her comments is a massive overreaction! He also doesn’t understand why we are criticising people who are trying to give inspirational messages. A large percentage of entrepreneurs and millionaires weren’t born into wealth. They worked hard to achieve what they wanted to in life. The ‘woke’ and ‘snowflake’ culture that the world appears to be breeding is getting out of control. Molly Mae could lose her job simply because someone is offended by something that was meant well and that many others would find inspiring.   BEST MOMENTS   “Why are we slamming people who are giving inspiration?” “It’s not your fault if you’re born poor but it’s your fault if you die poor” [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.

Hey all you cool cats and kittens! In this episode, Rob interviews none other than Netflix Show Tiger Kings Carole Baskin! Rob and Carole explore many different topics including the world of animal conservation, how she coped with the fame that came along with the Netflix show, her thoughts on Louis Theroux. Carole also responds to the many myths and lies surrounding her life including her money and her husband’s disappearance. KEY TAKEAWAYS  The fame the Netflix show brought to Carole was incredibly difficult to begin with. The first three months after the release she was harassed horrifically including threatening phone calls and even death threats. Despite this Carole believes that some good has come from it, the spotlight has been put on animal abuse and has allowed her to discuss the real issues around tiger and big cat conservation. Carole believes the producers of Tiger King did a great disservice to the big cat rescue community in the US. They didn’t truly represent the differences between actual big cat sanctuaries and those who were animal abusers. The timing of the Netflix show was imperative to its success. Carole is arguably the last person to blame for the covid pandemic yet the internet and viral memes that were created around the show were so focused on blaming her for it, as well as a whole host of other things! Something she finds amusing and bewildering now but it did affect her at the time, particularly around carrying out her conservation work. Human activities have caused the damage to the world we are seeing. Carole believes we need to stop polluting, stop eating animals and really think about the planet we are leaving behind for our children and grandchildren. The US’s culture of rebellion and personal independence means that the Big Cat industry is still thriving. To the outside world is seems like a crazy industry but many US citizens feel like they have the right to own any animals in the same way they have a right to bear arms. It’s a cultural shift that takes time and a lot of legislation to change. If Carole had her time again she doesn’t think she would change her mission. However, she found the impact the fame and negativity around the show was too much for her family to deal with, especially her daughter and husband. Animal abuse is to do with power. People who abuse animals do so to feel and show that they have power. If Carole had just 15 minutes to speak to Joe Exotic, she would just want to ask him why. Why does he want to put these animals in cages, why is he for private ownership of cubs and cats if he loves the animals as he says he does? BEST MOMENTS   “The first three months were hell, it was just amazing to me that people would watch a show about a ton of animal abusers and then believe the lies that were being told [by them]” “The Animal abusers, they can’t talk about the issues so they can only thing they can do is say hateful things” “It could have been so much more but instead was just wildly entertaining to people locked in their homes” “There shouldn’t have to be a place like Big Cat Rescue rescuing big cats from horrible situations. We should do away with those horrible situations upfront and put an end to it” “I like Disruptors because Disruptors are going to change the world” [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.

800 episodes, 200 guests and 6 years in Rob decided to end The Disruptive Entrepreneur brand! Join Rob and his team Thom, Kieron and Harry whilst they discuss the reasons behind The Disruptive Entrepreneur brand change. They give behind the scenes reveals on what it takes to create a strong brand of six years and why now was the perfect time to change.

Developing a podcast and brand takes time, what Rob and his team has learnt in six years has been invaluable. They know what engages people and what content works best for Rob. Changing the brand frees Rob up to move away from just the business and entrepreneur theme and allows him to explore a lot more diverse themes, content and guests. There are a lot of guests who wouldn’t see themselves as a Disruptive Entrepreneur but would see themselves as a ‘Disruptor’ which meant they would turn interviews with Rob down. The label of Disruptor is much broader and gives more scope on who to interview for the podcast. The change in brand allows it to be more reactive and therefore increases the ability to go viral which is so important in today’s world of branding. Running a podcast is never plain sailing. The challenges and difficulties are part of the course and you must push through them to find true success. Rob and his team have all had their fair shares of worst moments but thankfully all their best moments more than make up for it and that’s just one of the exciting parts of building a brand. The internet and social media used to be more like the wild west, until what many called the ‘ad-pocolypse” many platforms are now very strict on the content they allow to be hosted/shown and TDE has had multiple bans as part of this. It’s important for Rob to get guests he doesn’t agree with. It creates great discussion and more engaging and interesting content. This is part of the TDE brand he has built and changing it to ‘Disruptors’ just allows more freedom to do this.  Rob and his team have always tried to ask their guests different questions, to stop them being bored of being asked all the same things and to create unique content. Interviewing people is hard. Rob had a wealth of experience with public speaking but this couldn’t be any further removed than interviewing skills. Rob has now had six years of practice and conscious mastery and now his technique is so much better than when he started. Many brands are scared of cancel culture. Rob isn't frightened of cancel culture but he is concerned about de-platforming. BEST MOMENTS   “Now was the right time to do it, six years of the podcast. It frees us up to make better content without the need to always think about how we bring it back to business” “It’s a bigger wider brand than it has ever been and it makes everything more tangible” “For many years, social media was the wild west” “Pablo Escobar, let’s be honest at that moment we were just like, let’s f**k our own concept” “Sometimes when they are left leaving more that’s good” “The interviewee should be talking 95% of the time…to get the most out of the guest” [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.

There will be a 4-day bank holiday weekend in June this year for the Queens Jubilee. In this episode, Rob talks about the impact of public holidays on business, especially whilst trying to recover from the pandemic restrictions.

It’s been a turbulent couple of years and the last thing they need is less productivity. 3.3% of the whole year is now bank holidays, once we include weekends that’s a lot of time off. The price of everything is going up, part of this is caused by loss of productivity. BEST MOMENTS   “There’s flipping 12 days of bank holiday this year, to me that’s outrageous. How are we going to get the economy going again” “We don’t need more bank holidays we need to kickstart the economy or we’re going to see tens of thousands of business owners going down” "You need to increase our ability to trade" [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 one of the first interview episodes under the Disruptors re-brand, Rob speaks to investor, CEO and millionaire Peter Schiff about covid, economics, money, billionaires and bitcoin! Peter also talks honestly throughout the episode about his thoughts on the US government and how they have been harming the economy, every day US citizens and the impact this has had on the rest of the globe. Go to MANSCAPED.com and use promo code ROBM20 for 20% OFF your order, plus free shipping KEY TAKEAWAYS  As many others believe, Peter thinks Covid has actually been more damaging for society and a disaster for the economy than it has been a health issue. You can’t consume if you don’t produce and this has been one of the issues with government policies ‘patching up’ the economic shortfalls and delaying the inevitable.  Peter Schiff earned the title of Dr Doom in 2005 when he was predicting a massive economic crisis. It turns out he was right, he was really Dr Reality and he now predicts another imminent crash. If you recognise the state of the economy right now and understand what is going to happen in the near future you can position yourself to at least ride the storm and potentially even profit from what is going to happen. There are always some winners in economic crisis’s, fortunes can be made. When money originated, it was created out of metal, it had real value. The devaluation of money started in the 1970’s, what we now use as money isn’t a real ‘commodity’. Eventually with the printing of money that is widespread in many western economies the trust in it will disappear and that’s when we will be in real trouble. It sounds extreme but It’s not unprecedented, many countries that have been wealthy in the past have devalued their currency. Although Peter has ran under the Republican party previously he actually aligns himself as a Libertarian. He believes at the moment both the Republicans and Democrats are in difficult places and aren’t true to their core belief systems. Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies have had a lot of hype the past couple of years. Peter thinks they have had their day and will start to drop. He advises people to get out of bitcoin and other crytpos now. People will take opportunities and liberties where they can. Peter doesn’t blame the likes of Elon Musk and other billionaires for not paying more tax, he blames the government and the policies that allow this. BEST MOMENTS   “More people have left the workforce to actually avoid covid than if they had actually come down with it” “You’ve got to look at reality and not what the government is telling you” “The world has been supporting the United States for decades” “Money needs to be a creature of the free market, it needs to be produced by the market not the government” “A lot of people are going to be wiped out on the way down in crypto and the leverage is really going to accelerate the collapse” “History has always shown that it’s better to have the private sector invest money and the government spend money” [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.
