Ryan Pinnick joins Rob in this episode to discuss his past trauma as well as his beliefs and philosophies. This is an experimental episode of Disruptors, full of raw, philosophical and authentic content, not to be missed! Ryan is the CEO of SuperGenius and has a tremendous passion for applying Superconsciousness in Life Mastery and Entrepreneurship.   Born in Cape Town, South Africa he moved to London in 2000 as an electrical engineer. Having had a traumatic childhood as a result of his abusive alcoholic father and sexual violence as a young adult, he failed to deal with the challenges he faced and he tried to suppress his demons with alcoholism and recreational drug addiction. At 26 he started his recovery and healing which lead him to the world of personal development entrepreneurship.  During that journey he was introduced to what he now calls Superconsciousness and this was for him the key to creating a life beyond his wildest dreams.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Rob has been really keen to talk to Ryan about the paradox of trauma. Trauma can ruin a person, yet if you look at almost every successful person alive they have had to deal with adversities and trauma to become successful. You can put people under pressure but if they don’t have the right tools to deal with it they will break and suffer. Ryan is a great believer of support systems; he believes they can help any person deal with the difficulties and challenges we have to face in life. A polarising view Ryan holds, is that you attract everything in your human life, good or bad. We all have a sequence of steps to self-sabotage ourselves subconsciously, we have to become conscious to become true masters in our own lives or we will continue to repeat the same behaviour again and again. Ryan has had to deal with a lot of trauma in his life, he is incredibly brave to be so open about the extreme difficulties he has had to face and to then use it to inspire others is incredible. One thing you can do to help yourself overcome yourself, is to find people you aspire to be like. We all have emotions that come to the surface preventing us to be ourselves. Podcasting, like all forms of content creation entails putting yourself out there. But you will learn from the mistakes, the embarrassing moments more than you will from the ‘good’ content; the bad times will be the stories you tell. Ultimately shame is what we fear other people will think about us. Through criticisms and negative feedback we get given an opportunity, to evaluate and decide whether to change what it is we are doing.   BEST MOMENTS “I would not be who I am today if I had not experienced that trauma” “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate” “You can channel trauma into greatness” “With awareness comes healing” “I’m going to take responsibility for my reality, even if something happened to me or someone happened to me”   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.

Rob is joined in this episode by possibly the most misunderstood snooker player, Ronnie O’Sullivan. Ronnie has won 7 world titles and has stayed the eternal student for his game, learning from players before him and continuing to learn from new and emerging players too. He talks to Rob all about why he is misunderstood, the importance of mindset, the highs and lows of his career and who is the real Ronnie O’Sullivan is! Rob.team bit.ly/Robsupporter   KEY TAKEAWAYS If you don’t put your private life out there and you aren’t open, people make assumptions about you. This is why Ronnie believes he has spent so much of his career being misunderstood. To be happy in life, Ronnie believes you must make the most of it and follow your passions. Everyone has bad times, but you have to accept them, heal and move on. Ronnie has enjoyed seeing the changes in the game of snooker over the years, he is always trying to learn and improve his game. Throughout all areas of his life Ronnie tries to be the eternal student. He always wants to learn and evolve as a person, not just a player. Quitting when things were difficult or even boring was something Ronnie has learnt to overcome, to learn to be more patient when it matters. Burnout is something Ronnie has struggled with before in his life. He took on too much and it all built up and hit him when he wasn’t expecting it. Reinventing himself is how Ronnie has stayed top of his game all these years, including switching to playing to playing left-handed! He has no plans to stop anytime soon. Being disciplined outside of the game helps Ronnie stay disciplined within the game and continue to play well. Money doesn’t make you happy, but Ronnie believes it gives you choices and that can help create happiness. In his time, Ronnie has learnt to be more mindful about what he says, looking at the bigger picture and being empathetic to the other person or opinion. Self-doubt and worry are things Ronnie has had to deal with throughout his life, he finds that positive self-talk to himself when he is at the table helps him overcome it. The most important asset you have is yourself, this is why Ronnie always believes in investing in himself.   BEST MOMENTS “There are probably 7 or 8 players I wish that I played like” “You get one life you’ve got to enjoy it while you can” “I just want an easy life; I love the easy option” “The key to playing well is going out there and being excited to play” “My life is much better when I am just focusing on what I need to do and blocking out certain things” “The best investment is in yourself”   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.

Listen into this episode where Rob reveals the things you can do to protect yourself and why now, more than ever, is the essential time to educate yourself on money; how to manage it, how to make it and how to truly master it! Rob.team bit.ly/Robsupporter     KEY TAKEAWAYS Local banks have started freezing bank accounts, they are scared of a bank run. This frequently happens at this stage in the financial cycle if you go back through history. There is one simple way to beat this, don’t keep a lot of your money in the bank! Keep your monthly expenses in the bank and a small emergency fund, everything else, take out of the bank! Cash is being wiped out by inflation so invest your money into assets including real estate and your brand. You need to learn to invest, scale, to build assets, create multiple streams of income and turn content into cashflow.

Rob is joined by entrepreneur, consultant and author Tony Fadell. Tony opens up about his time at Apple, his thoughts on Steve Jobs and what he was like to work with and how he pitched the idea of the iPod to him! Tony managed to retire at 40 after 20+ years in Silicon Valley through designing the nest learning thermostat. He explains how this was all possible and also talks about the importance of needing others, how anything worth creating and making requires a powerful team and his passion for climate change too.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Inventing things is important but there is always a team involved, especially when it comes to making it commercial. The iPod marketing slogan “1000 songs in your pocket” was a stroke of marketing genius, it encapsulated so much of what the product was about and became a guideline for future taglines Tony has been in many companies with indecisive leaders, Steve Jobs was not one of these, his attitude and confidence was a breath of fresh air. Threatening to leave Apple when he didn’t feel like the best was being done for the company and customer was the last resort for Tony. He wasn’t being listened to and this was the only way for Apple to take notice of what he was saying Whilst at Apple, Tony learned all about the customer journey through Steve Jobs eyes, an invaluable learning experience that has shaped everything he has done since. It was whilst taking a year out of Silicon Valley with his family that Tony realised the scale of issues with heating and cooling in peoples homes. This was how the concept for the nest learning thermostat was born. There was no competition in the thermostat industry but a serious lack of customer choice, this was perfect industry for Tony to disrupt. You can have an innovative product and it be a commercial or business failure. A great idea isn’t enough on its own. Tony recognises the people in his life that have guided and steered him to where he is today. These mentors were the starts of inspiration for his book “Build: an unorthodox guide to making things worth making” Always stay as a beginner, a student, ensure you are constantly learning and also continuing to fail too.! Tony has always been passionate about the environment but it was when he had his child in 2008 and the conversation around climate change dialed up he became more actively involved.   BEST MOMENTS “It says a lot about the person if they can’t give credit to other people” “He [Steve Jobs] always loved to take it to the very easiest way to understand” “It wasn’t just about the product, it was about the customer journey” “The reason there’s no innovation is because there’s no competition” “I think it’s really important that you do things with people”   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.

Would you rather have 1 million pounds cash in hand or 1 million social media followers? Join Rob as he talks about this question, alongside building a valuable and disruptive brand with underground methods. Many of these methods Rob has learnt from the biggest brands and successful people in the world as well as a vast amount of business owners, entrepreneurs and of course his own invaluable experience.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Attention and interest create awareness that will either turn into reach or require an action from you to turn into reach. Awareness isn’t about who you know it’s who knows you. Attention and interest plus some desire will create awareness and your reach through your impressions, views, downloads, clicks and actions will build your brand, the bigger these are the bigger your brand. Notoriety can unlock awareness and growth to your brand and most notoriety is built through your ‘haters’ so don’t neglect them in your branding strategy. Online Search used to be Google, search is now so much more. It’s Instagram, Facebook, Linkedin, Podcasts, Amazon and so many more! Impact is created from the actions people take on search awareness and reach on you. It’s what they do from searching or knowing you. If you want high impact for and from your brand then you want to aim for notoriety, this will provide much more impact that reputation. ‘Investability’ is where a sponsor/client etc are prepared to invest in you. Where you are an asset to them, so are you investable? An asset is simply something that produces income. Content is a great asset, Rob has made a lot of money from his content in a variety of different ways including social media tools, sponsorship, ads and more. Social proof is a powerful concept and you can elevate your own status and standing by associating with ‘valuable’ people and those of ‘high status’. Ensure there is some substance, meaning and tangibility underneath becoming well known. You’ll build a much more powerful brand in doing this, being someone who wants to do something than just ‘being someone’ Social media is in constant change. Social media always evolves, you have to evolve and change with it. What worked previously for you in social media previously might not anymore, so figure out what changed or even test a new platform.    BEST MOMENTS “How far and wide is your awareness?” “Will Smith was famous already but he became notorious through the slap” “You want people talking about you whether they love you or hate you” “Go out and be yourself, but be a bigger, stronger and more exaggerated version of yourself because you’ll naturally collect hate anyway” “Your Facebook page is just as relevant as your website” “Notoriety is far better than reputation” “Social proof is a powerful concept” “If you evolve with social media you’ll find that virality”   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.

Rob is joined by the Infamous Paul Gascoigne aka Gazza in this open and revealing episode. Everyone knows Gazza, but not many people know Paul Gascoigne and in this interview Paul talks all things personal including how he dealt with the pressure being one of the top footballers in the world, addiction and the death of his father. He also talks about his biggest achievements in life as well as the changing face of football and his biggest regrets.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Gazza was told by his dad to never forget where he came from, and this has kept him humble and grounded throughout his life. The press wasn’t always fair or kind to Gazza and his family. They would harass them, endlessly lie and they even hacked his phone not once, not twice but three times. The football world has changed dramatically since Gazza’s career started, he has noticed there is now a sheer a lack of celebration and sociability among players. As well as the role of money and the lack of opportunities in the UK. The best player Gazza believes he played against is Brian Robson, the skill and tenacity has never been matched since. Many top players have come out and said that Gazza is the best player they have played against, this is something he feels very fortunate to hear and be told. When Gazza left English football, he found that he was unprepared for what came next. His advice to any other young players is to make a back-up plan. Gazza had a great relationship with his dad, they were very close. He was alongside him his whole career and his dad’s death hit him very hard. Gazza is misunderstood a lot of the time. Many people don’t recognise that he has strong emotions and sometimes he needs help, he isn't always the persona of 'Gazza' that people see and expect. It can be a challenge for Gazza to spend too much time alone, he finds he overthinks and focuses on the wrong things if he is in his own company too much. Taking cocaine 18 years ago, was the worst thing Gazza feels he has ever done. He believes it was the biggest failure in his life. Many people struggle to ask for help, this is something Gazza struggled with when he was younger which is what he attributes to the depths of his addiction. He now knows when to ask for help and encourages others to do the same.   BEST MOMENTS “I miss football really badly; I can’t watch it anymore” “People know Gazza, not many people know Paul Gascoigne” “Enjoy every day because before you know it, your career is over” “I don’t think about tomorrow, I concentrate on today” “If I trust myself a little bit more, then I can trust other people” “That books was just lies” “Don’t be scared to ask for help”   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.
