Sharon Carpenter: Broadcast Journalist, Producer & Entrepreneur [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Rob is joined by British broadcast journalist, producer and entrepreneur Sharon Carpenter. Sharon answers questions on how she got to be where she is today and what she has planned for the future. Sharon shares exclusive stories from working as a broadcaster in America to how she manages to balance her personal and professional life. Tune in today for this captivating interview with industry legend, Sharon Carpenter. KEY TAKEAWAYS When people who do not know you, ask what you do for a living what do you tell them? The first thing I tell them is that I am a broadcast journalist, that is because that is where I started out in more of the news side of things and then I moved over to the entertainment side of things, still as a journalist. Now I do so many different things, I am a presenter, a quiz show host, a producer. Does that make you an entrepreneur of sorts? Yes, it does. I have my own business called Carpenter Media and most of the work I do through that, I also create and develop television shows through that brand as well. Do you find it hard to have a relationship as an entrepreneur? It is hard, and I have definitely been in that situation, I do get very caught up with work so sometimes I do forget about the person I am with. I remember I was working on a presentation for a TV show that we eventually ended up selling to MTV. We were working around the clock and sometimes my boyfriend would notice that I was active on social media but was not replying to his posts, he didn’t understand that for me, social media also work. When you’re in that environment you have to be laser-focused. Sometimes there is just so much going on, your mind is so full that you’re not even thinking about that. I will say that I am understanding because of that, and I think it takes a certain type of person to be with someone in that mindset, that is really driven and wants to be successful. You really have to think about what is important to you, I do know people that have been all work focused and then they get to a point when they are like ‘oh I wish I had a family’ and they didn’t make time for that. Do you feel like you were able to stay true to yourself working in the media? When I first got into the industry, I was first a producer but I had dreams of being on camera. I remember talking to this big-time executive and he said to me “Oh so you want to be on TV?” to which I replied “Yes, it is a dream I have” he then told me “Well your English accent is a distraction!” I was devastated, I had also got a new agent who told me that maybe I should lose the accent and learn to speak with an American accent. I had to think to myself, is that really being me? If I was to go onto a station and start speaking with an American accent, that's not really real. I was trying to figure out, I’m English am I ever going to make it? I then remember going to see Sting perform, he was performing “English man in New York” and there's a line in the song “be yourself no matter what they say” and that's when I decided I was going to be myself no matter what they said! How do you deal with putting yourself out there on social media, without worrying about getting hate? You sort of has to get to a place where you don’t care. You need to build up your confidence, and to build up your confidence it is all about being good at different things. It has always been important to me to excel at things and produce good quality work, no matter what it is. All of that builds confidence, and the more the hate received will just become water off a duck's back. If you read something, don’t take it too much to heart, read it in a constructive way and take it in the best possible way. After getting so many comments, it has definitely helped me get a tough skin, what does it really matter? Not everybody is going to like you. Q.What is the best advice you have ever received? The best advice I have ever received was actually something that I heard somebody say. It was Anderson Cooper who said this in an interview “work harder than the rest, outwork everybody. Yes, talent is a certain part of it but really it's the amount of work you put in”. Q.What is the worst advice you've ever received? Learn to speak with an American accent! Although it could've been good advice actually. There are a couple of times where it could have been good for me to be able to do that, there is a sitcom and they were casting for a journalist in a small-town America. They really liked me but they asked me to do an American accent and that would have been okay as that's acting. So I sent them a self-tape and it was so bad! However, that's one occasion where that could have been okay to do. Q.What advice would you give to your 50-year-old self? I think what I would say to my 50-year-old self is “it’s never too late.” I think that's the big piece of advice if there's something that you’ve always really wanted to do it doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. It doesn’t matter if people are out there saying ‘oh you’re too old for that’ no, go for it and make it happen! When you’re 50 your dreams are going to be different than what your dreams are now, keep on dreaming up until the end. What does the word disruptive mean to you? I think that I am a bit disruptive if I am honest. It is shaking things up, not playing by the rules, it is doing things your way and adding some spice, sass and some sauce. BEST MOMENTS “Yes you can polish up, yes you can work on being the best version of yourself, but it really is about being true to who you are” “Look back on your own work, and make sure that you’re happy with where you’re going” “Make the most out of life, no matter what age you are” [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.

RANT: Is Free Speech Dead? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

RANT: Is Free Speech Dead? [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

This week YouTube has banned Sky News Australia from creating new content, they say this is due to misinformation being spread about Covid. Is this limiting free speech? It brings up all sorts of moral dilemmas and questions and this is what Rob wants to RANT about in this episode!   KEY TAKEAWAYS  The question is often what gives platforms the authority to decide who is allowed to say what and when? But similarly, what gives individuals the right to say whatever they like wherever they like, even if it offends, and in some cases incites violence? If we get to the point where there is truly no free speech anymore then we run into a massive problem, where does it end, will people be allowed to think anymore? How can we protect our ability to have free speech. Could there be a governing body or regulations media companies have to follow?   BEST MOMENTS  “We should all have freedom of speech, what’s gonna happen to the world when its dictated to you what you can and can’t say” “When they decide you don’t fit their narrative then they will de-platform you” “Facebook own between you and I”   [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.

Loren Ridinger: E-Commerce Mogul, SHOP.COM Founder, $1 Billion in Sales [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

A motivating, energetic and inspiring episode, Rob speaks to ‘one of the coolest people he has met on clubhouse’ Loren Ridinger. They talk all about Loren’s billion dollars a year in sales e-commerce business, her journey from the start as well as her mindset and attitude towards life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  When Loren first started her e-commerce company with her siblings back in 1992 she really struggled. There wasn’t a strong belief in internet sales and the role of computers in many industries. She had to battle against a lot, this was the start of her mindset and attitude towards life and business. One of Loren’s biggest tips to those thinking of starting a business, is to think about what makes you stand out from everybody else. What separates you from the rest and why should people buy your product? Loren doesn’t allow negative people around her. She believes that life is too short and too precious to not spend time with positive people. Most people do not place enough emphasis on the people they spend time with. Removing people from your life can be freeing and allow you to do what is good for you, what you need to move forward and achieve the things you want. As humans we have a tendency to exaggerate things and make things seem like bigger issues than they actually are. Putting things into perspective is what helps Loren stay on track in life and prevent both overwhelm and stress. BEST MOMENTS   “Most people didn’t have computers” “People would rather tell you why it won’t work than why it will work” “So we all came together, that’s all we had”  “You wanna know you are hanging around with the right people” “Worrying accomplishes nothing…stop and take a deep breath and realise nothing happens overnight”   [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.

RANT: Pingdemic Our Country is Being Ruined [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

This ‘pingdemic’ is ruining our country. Rob can’t just sit still and stay quiet, he needs a rant and to tell you WHY the current Covid strategy is killing businesses.   KEY TAKEAWAYS  No one knows what they are doing, people are confused and scared. It is not working. Half of Rob’s staff are getting pinged but none of them are testing positive. How can a company get back to normal if half their staff are off. Rob understands the impact of Covid and if people have it of course they need to isolate. But he feels like there is no clear strategy going forward and the current state of things is confusing and is crippling businesses all over the country. Rob isn’t sure what we can do to change things but perhaps if enough business owners speak up then the government will start to support both employers and employees.   BEST MOMENTS  “People are confused and scared” “You’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t” “Freedom day was a con”   [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.

Barry Hearn: Legendary Matchroom Found & Sports Promoter Talks Legacy & Building an Empire From Zero [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Barry Hearn: Legendary Matchroom Found & Sports Promoter Talks Legacy & Building an Empire From Zero [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

The first time Rob interviewed Barry Hearn is arguably one of the best TDE episodes ever! So, Rob is back again at matchroom headquarters where he interviews Barry for the second time all about his legacy. They discuss sport, business and the attributes and attitudes you need to have to be successful in life.   KEY TAKEAWAYS When Barry first started to make good money in his early days, his mum thought he was a gangster! Barry says his mum always wanted more for her children and it was her expectations and foundation that pushed him forward to be the success he is today. Barry always wanted to be a sportsman, he tried very hard at a variety of things. He had a gold for enthusiasm but sadly this never translated into the sport. He soon discovered that what he was good at though, was making money. Barry had a lot of common sense and always ‘thought poor’ which was a great attitude to have in business. He combined his passion with his expertise and started getting involved in snooker and later on boxing. Barry has only ever worked with sports that he has a passion for. He has never been able to do something just for money, he needs his own passion behind it. He says he is extremely lucky that they thing he has passion for makes him money. Resilience is something that is built into you. Having resilience is a key trait in finding lasting success in life. If you add this to common sense and creativity it’s a winning combination. In today’s world, it’s more important than it has ever been to be famous and to be known. You could be the greatest sportsman with the most talent but if no one knows who you are then you will not get the opportunities you need to be successful.   BEST MOMENTS “I’m still ambitious at 73”   “It’s probably the best question I have ever been asked”   “What’s the point of a rainy day fund when it’s pouring and you don’t use it”   “We live in a world of characters and personalities, we have heroes and we have villains…the secret is you don’t ignore the traditional fame but you concentrate on the casual fame, that’s where they money is”   [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.

Roger Saul: Mulberry Founder Reveals How to Grow a Global Brand & Pivot Recessions [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

Roger Saul: Mulberry Founder Reveals How to Grow a Global Brand & Pivot Recessions [Business, mindset, entrepreneur, disruptors]

In this episode Rob brings the co-founder of Mulberry, and sustainability pioneer Roger Saul to the podcast. We previously heard from Roger at the young entrepreneurs summit and he had so much wisdom to share Rob wanted to go more in depth with him on all things entrepreneurship! An inspiring and educational conversation full of value for both the young and established entrepreneur alike.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Roger’s first job was as a boutique assistant when he was studying in London. He would go out and source accessories for the boutique to sell. He realised that there was a huge mark-up and he could be doing this himself and be making a lot more money. He started Mulberry with a singer sewing machine with his mother and girlfriend and he soon went global. Pivoting is a key part to any successful business and entrepreneur and Roger has demonstrated this many times over, including riding the 1980s recession by creating collections based on what had previously worked and designing Mulberry home products when people started travelling less in the 80’s/90’s. Key to Roger’s and Mulberry’s success was recognising that it wasn’t sustainable to be at the top of fashion season in, season out. What he did instead was create a brand and products that stayed with people. One of his biggest success stories was the Mulberry planner, as this meant people would see the Mulberry brand every day and would also come back to Mulberry each year for the new inserts. Roger has had his own share of incredibly tough times, including be ousted from the brand he built and created. You don’t have to ‘stay in your lane’ in business. Roger started in fashion, moved over to homewares, then hotels, onto food and more. Being able to adapt and do so with passion, energy and knowing your customers and audience is key. Opportunities don’t often drop into your lap, you have to be creative and make them happen yourself. You can get through tough times by putting your ego aside and doing what it takes to come out the other side, keep adapting, keep improving and focus on the end goal.   BEST MOMENTS “The 70s are where everything changed and fashion became what we know today”   “Belts were the handbags of today, every season they changed shape”   “That was crippling none of us had experienced anything like it before”   “How do I maintain control?”   [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.
