Nick James: The Truth About Personal Development & Positivity

A question that often gets floated around the entrepreneurship, business and parental circles is whether apprenticeships, that is practical experience alongside learning, is better than going to university. In this episode, Rob explores this opinion, what people mean when they say ‘better’ and what things need to be considered before someone decides one way or the other. KEY TAKEAWAYS When apprentice Joshua Mims was interviewed for national apprenticeship week, he said he valued his apprentice because he got hands on real experience. He got to see up close what he would be doing for work in the next few years at least and it also opened up many doors for him.  At age 17-18 it can be really difficult to decide what to do for the rest of your life. One of the upsides of an apprenticeship is it gives you a skill, lets you earn whilst you learn as well as giving you a true experience of what you will be doing – without any debt.  Rob can give a long list of millionaires and billionaires who either didn’t get a university education or don’t attribute this education to their success. Of course, if you know you want to be a doctor or a lawyer of course go to university but if you know you want to be an entrepreneur, maybe reconsider and look at what other options are available to you.   BEST MOMENTS “Earn while you learn and learn while you earn and then try things out!” “You can try two or three vocations before you know which is the right one for you” “The private sector system, I just don’t think school or college is set up and built for that” “Be very careful how you project onto your kids, surely what you want to give your kids is resourcefulness” [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.

Big tech now control the narrative. There has been a bid for a proposed bill that would BAN censorship across social media and Rob thinks this is an incredible idea that needs to be driven forward. Listen in to find out why he thinks the current state of big tech control is dangerous and why banning censorship would be good for us all. KEY TAKEAWAYS Big Tech can impact politics in a big way, they can decide what is shown and what is censored giving them ultimate control on the narrative. This is scaring governments and should scare you too. Free speech has to be for all otherwise it isn’t free speech. It is the governments job to step in when monopolies and control becomes too big, this is what they are doing and it will serve us all if the bid goes through.

Rob has such a passion for watches and gets asked a lot of questions about them too, especially in terms of investment, so he thought who better to bring on the podcast than his own friend and watch advisor Kieran. Kieran is a former premier league footballer but now owns the watch broker Broadwalk Group, he joins Rob today with his colleague Harry, listen in to find out all you need to know about watches and why they are such a unique and enjoyable investment option. Broadwalkgroup.com KEY TAKEAWAYS Kieran’s father collected watches and this is where his initial passion came from. For his 16th birthday he got a Cartier tank watch which got him started and his passion has grown ever since. The watch market is crazy right now, there is low supply but people have money and they want to buy so any good investment is just going up and up! Watches are almost an asset class but they aren’t taxed like one. If you are making a profit you should of course be paying tax on it but it’s not as heavily regulated or taxed as many other assets.  The low supply for many watches means you often have to be creative to get what you want. If you build a portfolio and relationship with a watch maker they are then more likely to sell to you when what you want becomes available. Watches are a unique investment opportunity, it gives you the chance to buy and own something you truly love but that you can also make money on too.   BEST MOMENTS “It’s a great place to put money and get enjoyment” “I can’t be pi**ed off with myself, If you buy a watch and you like it and you seel it and com eup on top and you make on it” [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 highly timely episode, Rob talks about a concerning government ruling that has just been enacted in Canada, that may require an extra level of diligence on our part when it comes to our finances. This ruling, giving banks the power to freeze funds without a court order, in a bid to choke off protest funding. It only takes a single spark to ignite a powder keg, and other countries may soon see similar draconian rulings come into force before long. As Rob explains, we must do all we can to stand up against oppressive government tactics, or we could find ourselves sacrificing certain freedoms before long... KEY TAKEAWAYS The government can now effectively ‘steal’ your money in Canada now. You only need one case study for this to spread across the world. Justin Trudeau himself, said in the past, that when governments try and restrict in this way it means they are losing power, that it’s a means of trying to get back control and they no longer have the moral authority to govern. This covers all forms of currency, including crypto. Nothing is protected. If we allow this we are allowing a ‘seize and freeze’ culture where governments can control everything. BEST MOMENTS “Things that affect you, me and everyone, is governments having too much power and intervention” “There is no protest of there is peace, there is no protest if there is truth” “Fear screams loudest when it’s dying” [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.

Ever since learning about NFTs Rob has been intrigued; he loves the revolution and evolution of art and business. As a former artist, NFT’s have really captured Rob as they are a merge between art and entrepreneurship. However, he has had many questions and doubts and in this episode, he explores the legitimacy of NFTs and why he believes they have value. Robmoore.com/nft KEY TAKEAWAYS  One way to escape the risk of ‘pump and dump’ is to look for an NFT that has utility. Then even if the NFT itself drops, the attributes, perks and bonuses still exist. Social proof is powerful. This is using social media, brand names and/or celebrities to create legitimacy. If you see this, fact check that it is real. If NFTs are scams then so is Art, yet no one would ever say this. A j-peg is no different to a painting, what makes the Mona Lisa valuable isn’t the canvas and paint but because of the story behind it; NFTs can be the same. BEST MOMENTS   “In my opinion you can’t really say that NFTs are a scam” “All value is just a perception” “NFT is a scam for those who run it as a scam, it’s legit for those who run it legitimately”   [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 episode, Rob interviews the renowned Jake Paul. They discuss his incredible career and life, what it takes to be truly successful in the world as well as a list of all the people he would fight! KEY TAKEAWAYS  How did Jake Paul, a school dropout from Ohio, get to where he is today? He puts it down to hard work, dedication and a willingness to learn. He said he made the choice to not remain the drop out kid from Ohio and did the work needed that put him where he is now. Part of the secret to success is to never be satisfied. The challenge and hunger for the ‘game’ of life is what has always driven Jake to achieve. For a lot of his career, Jake has felt misunderstood. He says he feels like the tide is slowly changing but he still feels like wherever he goes people don’t truly understand what his life has been like, so they can never judge him. Jake doesn’t cite one person as inspiration. He believes you can’t just strive to be like one person or you will become unoriginal. He likes to be continually and constantly inspired by many people, taking the attributes he likes from them out and being inspired by them. The world has a big problem with propaganda, free speech and de-platforming by big tech. Jake worries about the impact of this on everyone and the elements of control that are involved. Boxing bullies is a charity Jake supports, it’s a charity close to his heart and he truly believes that boxing can help support both those being bullied as well as an outlet for bullies themselves. He also believes that many people of his generation don’t give enough or support enough charities so felt like he had a responsibility to do so. BEST MOMENTS   “I accomplished something that was great, I want to accomplish more, I’m never satisfied”  “I like to pick peoples best attributes out and then be inspired by them” “Everyone should be able to say what they want, it’s not up to Spotify” “I’m ashamed to be part of this generation and I think Joe Rogan is great” “I want to use my platform to drive change and support fighters” [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.
