Welcome to another episode of the Disruptors Podcast. In today’s episode, Rob interviews entrepreneur, businessman, philanthropist and proud Scotsman, Sir Tom Hunter. Tom is Scotland’s first home-grown billionaire and is known as Britain's most generous tycoon. In 1998 after selling Tom’s first business, Sports Division for a cool £290m, he started The Hunter Foundation. Helping to fund start-ups and grow business education. The foundation has since donated millions to help support education and entrepreneurial projects in Scotland. Tune in to hear, Rob and Tom discuss and share their own views, on Business, charity, entrepreneurialism and the value and importance of giving back to those less fortunate. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob: You’re known as Britain's most generous tycoon, why do you think that is? Tom: When I sold my first business 20 years ago I was only 37. I had already made more money that I thought I would ever make and it was at that time myself and my wife made some decisions. The first was that I wanted to stay in business, but as a family, we didn’t need any more money. So we set up the Tom Hunter Foundation. Rob: What are the differences between learning in the classroom and learning by going out there and doing it? Tom: I really value learning from practitioners. If we’re going to learn about entrepreneurs, I want to hear from an entrepreneur. MBA’s are enough by themselves, you need to have done it also. I’m always listening to the person that’s been there and done it, learn by doing. It’s a mixture of learning in the classroom and having the experience to draw from. We like to talk about successes, but the best learning is through your own failures. Rob: Can you share some of your failures? Tom: During the financial crisis we were heavily invested, maybe over-invested and we didn’t see it coming. It was my fault and we lost an awful lot of money. But the learnings from that time have benefited us in moving forward. But look, I’ve never met an entrepreneur that hasn’t made a mistake, an entrepreneurs journey is up, down, left and right. But it’s how we deal with failure that really marks us out. Aim to fail quick and fail cheap, and then get back on the bus. But Fail with some humility so people will back you next time. Rob: Best advice you’ve ever received? - It’s too much wealth to have, go and find your purpose. Rob: If you lost it all and had to start again, what would you do? - I’d find partnerships and   Rob What would you change in the world? - I would have more practitioners in government to help write and advise on policies. Use that knowledge to better the country. Rob: Does money make you more or less happy? - Yes, money makes you happy if you give it away. Rob: What does the word disruptive mean to you? - We want to back disruptors, both in our foundation and our West Coast Capital, money making side. Disruptors are people who the status quo is not enough, they look at the world as it is and say no. They look to make a change and a difference. BEST MOMENTS “We are trying to do something good with our money, whilst we’re still alive” “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards” “My dad is my hero, he made millions and lost millions, made a bit and lost a bit, but he has always had an amazing talent” “Our investment philosophy is backing the entrepreneur” “We want to encourage more entrepreneurs starting and scaling their businesses” “There are some things that people are naturally born with, but with coaching, we can accelerate our skills and make a difference, we all need mentors, coaches and teachers” “People should learn by doing, talk to your customers and learn from your mistakes” “What you’ve been through is invaluable and it’s not just the money that can help people, it’s the knowledge too. You need to find ways of leveraging your time so that you can work out what it is your passionate about so that you can help others.” “Leave your kids enough money to do something but not enough for them to do nothing” ABOUT GUEST Sir Tom Hunter is Scotland’s first ever home-grown billionaire, with an estimated wealth of £1.05 billion. Tom set up his first business after graduating from Strathclyde University as he was in his own words "unemployable". With a £5,000 loan from his grocer father Campbell and matching funds from a bank he started selling trainers from the back of a van. Hunter built the business into Europe's largest independent retailer. Tom is a businessman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, and along with his wife, Marion they established The Hunter Foundation in 1998 after selling Tom’s first business, Sports Division for a cool £290m. The foundation has donated millions to supporting educational and entrepreneurial projects in Scotland. In 2005 Tom received a knighthood for “services to Philanthropy and to Entrepreneurship in Scotland”. and In October 2013, Tom was awarded the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy. Described by some as the “Nobel Prize for philanthropy”, the medal recognises those who use their private wealth for public good and is awarded biannually to global figures leading the way in this field.

In part two of the 300th episode of The Disruptors Podcast Live! Your host, Rob Moore shares his own thoughts on this milestone episode and the lessons learnt along the way. Rob has interviewed a roster of millionaires, inspirational individuals and notable guests. Tune in today, to hear an explosive lightning Q&A round and Progressive Properties manager of innovation and head of Progressive Publishing, interview with the Disruptive Entrepreneur himself, Rob Moore. Listen now, to hear the behind the scenes insights from the UK’s number one business podcast. KEY TAKEAWAYS Thom: How does it feel now we’ve hit 300 episodes? Rob: Bring on 500! podcasters like Joe Rogan have over a thousand episodes and I want to reach that. Podcasts are hard to measure and difficult to track, but it’s all of the side benefits and people I’ve met along the way, the friends I’ve made, and the amazing things we’ve done. We’ve interviewed some great guests and even launched a podcast agency off the back of The Disruptive Entrepreneur and that’s done over £500,000 in the last few months. We’ve now hit around 1.2million subscribers and it feels really good. Thom: What made you start The Disruptive Entrepreneur when you did? I should have started it earlier. I was listening to podcasts about two years before I started The Disruptive Entrepreneur and in property most people have read or listened to ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ by Robert Kiyosaki, and at the time there was ‘Rich Dad Radio’ and Tim Ferris’s podcast ‘The Tim Ferriss Podcast’ and it inspired me to get started. Thom: Is the podcast what you envisaged it would be now or has it changed over the years? Rob: It’s grown its own legs and developed over time. We’ve learnt a lot from our fans and that’s where Rob’s Rants and the Caffeine Cast came from. To begin with, I just wanted to give people creative information and an uncensored outlet to say what I wanted. Thom: What does Disruptive mean to you? Rob: Disruptive means finding a unique way to solve a problem and to serve people. Surprising people so they don’t get bored or predict your next move. To innovate your market, staff and industry before someone else does. To never be complacent or blindsided by external factors. To control your own factors, to be unique, individual and to control your own narrative. BEST MOMENTS “If you have a good idea, sit on it for three months and if it’s still nagging at you, you really want to do it.” “If you’re the first you’re often the one that fails” “We believe in not editing people and providing information led implementable granular content” “Podcasts are about creating a relationship between you and the listener” “One of the greatest experiences in my life is meeting cool and interesting people” [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 very special episode of The Disruptors Podcast, your host Rob Moore welcomes you to this live Q&A mastermind to celebrate the 300th episode of the UK’s No.1 business podcast. Entrepreneurs, tune in and discover how to overcome the challenges you face in business and in life and learn a little bit more about the public speaker, property investor and multi-million-pound business owner that is, Rob Moore. Learn the insider secrets to scaling your business, managing your money and finding the right joint-venture partner in this stripped back Q&A session and find out how you too, can become a Disruptive Entrepreneur. KEY TAKEAWAYS Q1: What is the single best thing you’ve learnt from running your business? Rob: The greatest thing I’ve learned about building a business empire, is managing one’s self and managing your emotions. You have to get yourself in a balanced state and then make the decision, the right decision, for you and for your business. If not your emotion which for us is passion, leaks out with attrition, and that takes clients and staff away from your business. You must Learn how to separate yourself and become self-aware of your emotions, don’t bring your past emotions and grievances into your business, manage and coach yourself to find the right solution and take wise counsel from those around you that you trust. Remember, your business will only grow at the speed that you grow, so compartmentalise your decisions and actions in order to move forward. Q2: What are the tools and software that you use in your business so that you grow & scale? Rob: The thing I’ve found with tools and software is what you need at the start, is not what you’ll need once you’ve scaled. I write down everything that I do as a function and that naturally becomes a manual for your staff to use and to manage, and you do this until you can step out of your business. I tend to use people and empower them,  the three most important staff you will ever hire are an MD (managing director), PA (personal assistant) and a head of Marketing (Marketing Manager). Q3: How do you determine who’s the right person to bring into your business? Rob: There are two answers to this question, usually we only see one polarized extreme due to when we are emotional, but there are equal upsides and downsides to seeking cash for the business, investment in your company or finding a business partner to help you grow. Investment capital and cash injections do not necessarily mean exponential growth, it can mean a lot of wastage and a lot of chaos. When you have money you use money as your resources and when you don't have money you use resourcefulness, creativity and hustle to solve problems. If you’re going to get external partners to try not to lose your creativity and progressively invest in the growth of your business so you don’t lose your desire to be creative. The best partner is someone who compliments your skill set and adds value to your business that you couldn’t add yourself. Align a clear long-term vision with your partner so that you’re working towards the same goals, however, ensure the application is different and diverse to grow your business. Q4: What three pieces of advice would you give your children about money? Rob: The challenge you have as a parent is not, giving the right advice, it’s getting that advice through to them. You need to start really young and subconsciously educate them. Try to read hero based stories and insert the lessons about managing money and spending versus investing in these stories. Teach them as closely as you can to how the world really is and don’t shield them from the world. Q5: How do you action the knowledge you obtain throughout life, and not be busy achieving nothing? Rob: Whilst you’re young take risks, you can afford to take risks and learn from the mistakes. But the downside paradox of personal development is that ‘you should know more’ and you feel like you should know everything. Don’t beat yourself up about it, manage your emotions and allow yourself to fail, it’s where you’ll learn the most. BEST MOMENTS “The best marketing and creativity I’ve ever done is when I’ve had no money” “Our voids create our values and our fulfilment comes from filling our voids and achieving their values. Our strengths and weaknesses are intertwined, you cannot separate them” “The greatest gift you can give your children is to give them a balanced version of the way life is. If it’s been hard for you don’t protect them from that, if it’s been easy for you, don’t make it easy for them” [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 today’s episode, Rob shares with you his 12-year in the making POWOW product launch model and how you too, can follow this four-step method to successfully launching and scaling any product or service. Discover how to crowdsource your bonuses, spark engagement and build up a limitless desire for your product or service. This model works for any business, as long as you have a compelling offer and you’re launching it at the right time to serve your audience. Learn how to get the conversations going and gain knowledge from your own community. Find out the pain of your customers and learn from it, to create a product that instantly fits their needs and serves their desires. Finally, understand how to weave your story into your messaging and create a buzz around your product and a reason as to why you’re offering it. Tune in today and instantly learn the simple but effective steps to launching your very own product or service. KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob Moore’s Four-Step Launch model Having a product or service people want and you know will sell out - Run a test launch to a smaller audience and action the feedback to create a more well-rounded product. Alternatively, you can crowdsource the title, the bonuses and the main benefits from your community and build knowledge and intuition that will inform your product. Pre-launch - This is the hunger, desire and pent-up urgency that you build before you launch your product or service. Tease your audience and create engagement, don’t over-inform your customers, ensure you drip feed your audience and make them feel special and part of your launch. Get them involved, communicate the logistics and build hype around the release of your product or service. Actual launch - Don’t be scared to relentlessly promote your product or service, send one too many messages rather than one too few. Use your messages to communicate the bonuses and tell the story of your launch and what they get. Make sure to offer value in your marketing messages and not just repeat the same thing over and over, provide value, urgency and logical reasons why they need to purchase. Post-launch - Evaluate the launch and introduce the waiting list, the post-launch is an opportunity for you to reopen your offer and generate additional sales. Try to introduce something new and a reason as to why your offer is re-opening. Incentives people to share/review your product and offer X,Y,Z as a bonus, and as a result, you will super-charge your sales and serve your community. BEST MOMENTS “Scarcity, urgency and time sensitivity are essential to the success of a launch” “Launches help to build desire and if it’s time sensitive you can create a hungry audience, ensure you create a limited amount or only open it for a certain time” “It’s worth considering bonuses, even if you’re in an industry that doesn’t offer bonuses as an incentive” “Always offer scalable bonuses that enable you to serve as many of your customers as possible and create a leverageable” “A pre-launch helps to build the value of your product or service and inspire your audience to get invested in purchasing” “By the time you’re launching you know that your deliverables are certain to serve the desire of your audience. “ [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.

"I'm calling shenanigans on that one... at worst I think its pseudo-spiritual-hippie nonsense." In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob counters the idiom "It's all about the journey". Rob emphasizes that it isn't ALL about the journey but that it is equally about the destination. Rob talks about the importance of setting goals – how it makes the journey worthwhile and goal-driven and how it could lead to your own happiness. Discover also how to maintain the balance between the pursuit of your own happiness and the happiness of others. KEY TAKEAWAYS Setting up your goal is important since goal = destination. To embark on a journey, you must know what is the manifested results to make every grind and wait worth it. If we 100% believe in the saying “It’s all about the journey”, no one will dare to strive, to strive, and to do what they have to do right now. They just let it be – let things happen on its own without their control. You have to balance going through the journey and being eager to reach your goal. “Happiness is progress towards a worthy goal.” Aim for worthy goals. Break them down to small chunks so as you go along the journey, you savour every progress you make. Rob: “There should a balance in the pursuit of your own goals and the goals of humanity.” It’s okay to be selfish sometimes. Help others but also help yourself. Do sustainable projects where you can make money and also help other people. BEST MOMENTS “It’s NOT all about the journey; it’s PARTLY about the journey.” “You have to set a goal… It has to be as much about the goal as it is the journey.” “My Intense happiness is from the difficult challenges I endured and mastered and struggled and thrived.” [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.
