Nick James: The Truth About Personal Development & Positivity

Welcome to another episode of The Disruptors Podcast. In this episode, Rob Moore interviews Co-founder and chief designer of luxury watch brand Urwerk, Martin Frei. Rob and Martin discuss business, art, entrepreneurship and innovation in this captivating interview. Discover the evolution of Urwerk and the mastery of Martin’s designs. Learn how these beautiful watches are taken from concept to creation and the lessons learnt along the way. Find out more about what it means to be truly creative, to really innovate and to undoubtedly create a piece of art. KEY TAKEAWAYS Art is an extension of one’s self and carriers themes throughout. The true expertise of an artist is creating something different and expressive. In order to be the master of machines you need to challenge yourselves and the need to be creative. However, the form has to follow function and the watches have to work. A concept is created from a set of collective experiences and concepts and inspiration is taken from films architecture toys and much more. Smart Watches work against the concept of individualistic expression. Art in the watch industry is discovering how to display time and an individualistic piece of machinery. It’s important not to grow too quickly and become slow as a company. The laws of nature demand that you grow, but it must be in a creative manner a way to grow that includes innovation. Rob: How do you balance growth and honouring your lineage? Martin: You need to ensure the growth matches the innovation, we have had to stop production of watches in order to achieve that. We focus on creating a more contemporary and classic design that also addresses the futuristic side of watch evolution. This creates a fiction. Rob: Why do you only make 150 watches per year? Martin: We don’t necessarily want to grow and we have found an equilibrium with this number. If we made more you might find the watch itself might change. Right now we are able to be creative and innovative and try a lot of things. Rob: Can you summarise the ethos and vision of Urwerk? Martin: We want to create innovative machines and as long as people continue to want them it’s the perfect situation for us to continue to create these crazy designs. Rob: How long does it take to make one of these watches? Martin: Quite a long time, the EMC project took 8 years. Normally it will take 2-3 years although lots of prototype versions are developed in order to create a finished piece. BEST MOMENTS “Tried to escape the technocrats, so I went to study art, to solve problems and create something beautiful.” “You allow yourself to be inventive in the very last moment, you need to keep this possible for as long as possible" “Watchmaking originated in medieval times, it’s an ancient art.” “Someone who wears a Urwerk watch is only trying to be noticed by a select who people, who know what a Urwerk is.” “If there is any company that could embrace the movement of smartwatches it would be Urwerk with how you’re redefining and re-commenting on the concept of time.” “Sometimes you have to not work as hard in order to stop lean listen and experience the things happening around you.” ABOUT THE GUEST Martin Frei (co-founder and chief designer) and Felix Baumgartner (co-founder and master watchmaker) first met in 1995 to discuss developing a watch. The young men were united by their common passion for measuring and portraying time. A long discussion, a sharing of philosophies and dreams, culminated in a decision to create their own vision of time. They founded URWERK in 1997 and presented their first timepiece with the AHCI at Baselworld that same year.

Should you do what you love and money will follow? Or should you make money first then free your time to do what you love? Today, Rob shares with us how he got into this difficult situation of deciding whether to ditch the task of recording his audiobook Start Now Get Perfect Later because he doesn’t feel like it or just do it for the community and his business. He got caught up in this paradox but still managed to get out of it and get it done. Start listening to the latest episode to know how it can get tricky but with right motivation and willpower, you’ll be able to choose the right thing! KEY TAKEAWAYS Doing what you love and monetizing on it will not always be true. You should look into the business and commercial aspect of it. There are things that you love but could get tiresome if you do it every day. There will be a lot of stuff you don’t like doing with what you love. Outsource tasks that will burn you out. Hire someone who could help you with admin tasks, dealing with clients, etc. If it needs to be done, it should be done. If your community or customers perceive something valuable and you’re not really hyped to do it, have a word with yourself. Do it. For example, Rob feels that he could just get someone to record his audiobook since he does not want to do it. But he feels that doing it would make a big difference for the community and business, so he decides to do it. Once it’s done, it’s done anyway. Decide whether it is right for you or not. Think long term. If you’re selling your soul and your life to the business, then where are you gonna be the next five years? So, think about it. BEST MOMENTS “I’m gonna do it because it makes a difference.” “What do I love the most that are also monetizable?” “Roll up your sleeves and sometimes, do the stuff that makes you uncomfortable. Don’t just hustle for the sake of it.” “If it feels uncomfortable or scary and don’t wanna do it, smash through it and you’ll probably go to the next level” [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.

On this episode, Rob shares his experience as an interviewer and podcaster. He shares with us some strategies on how he chooses his guests, how he prepares his questions, what he thinks is important for interviewees and listeners and other behind the scenes things you need to know about the Disruptors Podcast! KEY TAKEAWAYS Find a credible and interesting guest. Rob makes sure that the guest could be a big name, an unknown, a person that the community wouldn’t think of, or a person you could take a chance on to contribute on the message. Hire a good researcher to get you the possible best guests out there. You could find them through your network of colleagues, from the documentaries you’re watching, or from your favourite podcasts. Be insistent if you really want them. Rejection is better than nothing. Reach out by calling, emailing, or even sliding them a message on their social media. Have a framework for the interview. Prepare 5-7 main questions. Research on the quest beforehand. For Rob, sometimes, he intentionally does not research the guest to make it more interesting. There are times also that he lets the energy of conversation guide them. Just remember to make sure of your key questions. Personalize the questions for each guest. Try not to use rehash questions anymore. For The Disruptive Entrepreneur, what’s a sort of common question is about the commercial and the non-commercial experience in their career. The interview is not about the interviewer; it’s about the interviewee. It doesn’t matter how great the guest you’ve invited if you won’t be able to get the best out of him in the interview. Remember to let him finish his answers first before proceeding. Be professional during the interview. Always try to have a good rapport and engage him to talk. Ask good interesting questions. While interviewing, you might tend to look every time at your prepared written questions, it might be quite off-putting for the guest. A podcast is convenient, easy to access, and a personal media. It’s the closest thing that audience could listen to the author or the expert without even meeting him. The podcasting industry has been constantly growing for the last 15 years. But still hasn’t reached its peak of exponential growth. BEST MOMENTS “The bigger you make a big decision, the often it’s the worst decision you make.” “It’s good to be nervous because it makes you prepare well.” “Interview is not about the interviewer. It’s about the interviewee.” “Guest is the most important person. You’ve got to try to draw out stories on experiences, the golden nuggets, etc.” “You’re an artist. Whatever you love to do, that is your art.” [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.

Welcome to another episode of the The Disruptors Podcast. In this Caffeine Cast Rob dives into the step-by-step process you can follow, when deciding on a Mentor, Coach or Mastermind group, whether it’s for yourself, your business or both. Understand the need to be clear on what want, what your goals are and what you want to achieve, both in business and in your personal life, because only then, can a Mentor, Coach or Mastermind group help you reach them. Don’t learn from the mistakes that you make, learn from the mistakes of other people and succeed. KEY TAKEAWAYS You need know what you want and have a vision. Decide what you want to focus on and find someone who has done that strategy and succeeded at it. When your not clear on what you want you’ll only see noise and distractions. How to choose a Mentor, Coach or Mastermind. Mentor - Someone who has been there and done it. There further down the road than you and they’ve been successful. Coach - Someone who knows how to follow a system and get the best out of you, by holding you accountable and by setting goals and targets. Mastermind - A collective group of mentors and peers educating one another and improving each others businesses and personal development. Masterminds are a vicarious and voyeuristic experience from everyone round the table. Society says to you, it’s better to learn from your mistakes. It’s conventional common sense, but bad advice.  The better advice is to learn from the mistakes of those who have made them before you. BEST MOMENTS “You need to decide on your vision, your strategy and pursue it.” “With Mentors, Coaches and Masterminds you get what you pay for.” “You can’t get a champagne mentor with lemonade money.” “If someone's made £100 million they're not going to coach you, because they’re busy making £100 million.” [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.
