Beyond beer, Watt passionately discusses the UK's economic challenges, his new ventures, and the unconventional leadership approaches that helped him build a unicorn business. James Watt REVEALS: Why he gave 20% of his equity to BrewDog employees & created a pay cap BrewDog's growth strategy Being on the edge of financial ruin for over years, including not being able to pay himself Why after 17.5 years as CEO, he stepped away to pursue new ventures How he manages his productivity through extreme focus Why community building is essential for business success Why millionaires are leaving the UK BEST MOMENTS "For me, if we weren't teetering on the edge of financial oblivion, I wasn't working every single penny of cash that I had hard enough because I had to open new markets. I had to try and find a way to employ new salespeople. I had to find a way to open new locations." "Would or could another beer company sponsor a sports team? Yes. Okay. We're not gonna do that. Would or could another beer company spend 200,000 pounds taking out these adverts? Yes. We're not gonna do that." "At a certain point in time, your company is gonna do things that are so stupid you'd never thought you'd be associated with such incompetence. But to make matters worse, if you're CEO, it's all your fault." "These are the job traders, the wealth traders, the people who pay a disproportionate percentage of taxes; twice as many millionaires are leaving the UK than at any point in time. And it's not just a millionaire, it's like their future innovation."

Birbalsingh shares her philosophy of extreme ownership in schools, arguing that addressing small infractions prevents larger problems. They also discuss modern education, political correctness and the importance of teaching personal responsibility to create a better society. Katharine Burbalsingh REVEALS: Her broken windows theory approach to discipline Why society has become increasingly dangerous Why people are now afraid to confront wrongdoing That schools must teach children personal responsibility, duty towards others and self-sacrifice rather than victimhood How the absence of a Dad significantly impacts children's development and how society no longer recognises the importance of Dads How private schools have lost their way by embracing woke ideologies rather than maintaining traditional educational values That schools are microcosms of society, when schools change, society changes and vice versa Excessive bureaucracy and performative DEI training drain meaning and purpose from schools BEST MOMENTS "When you don't look after the details, the biggest stuff starts to happen... I say, what do you do when a kid throws a chair? What do you do when a kid gets up out of a lesson and angry and just marches out? I say, that never happens." "It's how you run a successful school, you care about those details and it's how you run a successful country, frankly." "Race relations were better in the nineties and the early two thousands than they are now. Religious issues in the country were better then than they are now. All this stuff around being LGBT and so on, all of it, everything was better then." "I've made a lot of money in my life and by far the best feeling is not all the cars I've bought. It's the money I've given away and the people I've helped." "Being a teacher is the best job in the world... Money makes life easier, but it doesn't bring you meaning."

He explains to Rob who he thinks truly controls the world’s governments and gives details of the evidence behind his theories. Bart Sibrel REVEALS: Why he believes the moon landing was faked High level government deception His alleged interrogation by the CIA How governments worldwide are arresting critics and evidence of growing authoritarianism Why firms buying up real estate at inflated prices is part of a larger control agenda, making it impossible for ordinary people to buy homes Why the government is planning to fake an alien invasion That he believes the fluoride in water is to deliberately lower IQ to create compliant citizens BEST MOMENTS "But what's really going on in area 51?" "Today with five decades better rockets and computers, the farthest that NASA can send an astronaut into space is only 1000th the distance to the moon. So what they're really claiming is for the first time in the history of the world, technology was greater in the past." "When any government becomes destructive of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it. The people have the legal right to get rid of the federal government and to start over again." "The problem is as soon as you put some messages out on media to mobilise people you get censored, shut down. You know, your ability to earn is taken away." "You know, the moon landings are fake."

They discuss the UK's economic challenges, government inefficiency and why entrepreneurs are leaving the country. Daniel shares practical ideas for fixing Britain's economy and advice for aspiring entrepreneurs. Daniel Priestly REVEALS: Why the rich are leaving the UK What drives wealth inequality Why spare bedrooms are creating a housing crisis and declining birth rates Why the UK needs to recognise entrepreneurs as major employers, taxpayers and contributors Why being too sick to work has jumped from a historical 2% to 11% The best path to entrepreneurship BEST MOMENTS "The British, only a few generations ago, just confidently went and took over the whole freaking world.” "We have two societies. One society is doing things the way we are taught to do it in the schooling system where they go and try and get an office job with very low leverage. And the other has digital assets, and have their own software company, they can create vast sums of wealth relative to people who don't do that." "This country doesn't offer a value proposition for someone like me. If I went to Switzerland right now, I'd pay hundreds of thousands less in tax. I wouldn't really even have to think about tax. I spend time every week now thinking about tax." "I've got a theory about wealth inequality. People blame the rich.

From multi million dollar divorces to why marriages fail, Sexton gives his perspective as someone who's seen relationships at their worst.

James Sexton REVEALS: The real cause of divorce How he manipulates emotions for a living His thoughts on prenups Dealing with narcissistic clients How he manipulates emotions for a living The most expensive divorce he handled Whether entrepreneurs make good spouses BEST MOMENTS "I'm a good ex-husband. I don't think I was a great husband, I'm impatient, I love my work. I don't think I love anything as much as I love my work so I don't know what that says." "56% of marriages end in divorce and yet it's assumed that it's something you should do and to add to that, 86% of people who get divorced are remarried within five years of their divorce." "The people I represent you've never heard of and they could buy those celebrities 10 times over. They drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee, they wear a Timex watch. They're not posh. They're just people who look like they're no one." "I divorce the person we marry, and I think that there's a lid for every pot. I think that it's really less about the individual character... it's also about finding someone that's complimentary to you." "What would appear to be a red flag may be something that requires a polarity. Like some person's trash is another person's treasure."

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob interviews Tom Jaconelli, co-owner of Romans International with over £30 million worth of supercars. Tom talks about the luxury car market, from which models make the best investments to the shocking maintenance costs of hypercars. He shares stories about celebrity clients, cars that appreciate versus depreciate and gives tips for aspiring collectors. Tom Jaconelli REVEALS: That he still gets excited about special cars, the Bugatti Veyron was his first supercar experience as a child and remains one of the most exciting cars he's ever seen. How he helped grow the family business to £100 million in annual turnover, with their showroom currently holding over 100 cars worth around £30 million. His fact driven and transparent sales approach, which sometimes talks customers out of deals but builds greater long term trust. His profits and losses in the business, revealing they've made up to £400,000 on a single car but have also lost around £100,000 on others when market conditions shifted. What celebrities he has worked with including Rod Stewart, Simon Cowell and members of One Direction That many high profile clients now prefer understated vehicles rather than flashy supercars. Why he focuses on improving the business rather than expanding it further, prioritising quality over quantity. The cars that will appreciate well since they represent "the last of something" in an increasingly digital and electrified car market. BEST MOMENTS "These cars are starting to become their own asset class, people of wealth are thinking, right, I want a property portfolio, I want a stock portfolio. I want maybe a bit of crypto and they're now thinking, I also want a car portfolio." "For me, if I had 50 grand, I'd be probably looking more at some of like the German muscle cars, like the C 63 AMGs, maybe even an RS six V 10. You know, they don't make them anymore." "People say you shouldn't mix family and business, don't they? I think you know, being a family member of this business, you are more driven by it." My dad, Paul Elli. He is the ultimate. He's the goat, he can sell ice to the Eskimos. He has a natural gift of the gab and he won't even know what he's selling a lot of the time."

Rory Stewart | How to Fix Broken Britain | How Rory Stewart Would Fix Politics in the UK
Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob is joined by former UK politician Rory Stewart for a discussion on the state of British politics, including government inefficiency and the rise of populism. Rory Stewart gives his take on everything from the UK's economic challenges to Trump's leadership style, drawing from his own experience in government and talks about how we could fix politics in the UK. They also discuss inequality, political communication and the many flaws in democracy and politics right now. Rory Stewart REVEALS: His thoughts on Trump Why many Britons feel uncomfortable and awkward about the UK at the moment The UK isn't in rapid decline but stagnating whilst the US grows faster Why current inequality in Britain stems from the 1980s Thatcher-Reagan era, where privatisation without regulation or monopoly prevention allowed private companies to exploit public utilities Why politicians deliberately lie during elections Our current democratic system is broken How government is exponentially more complex than even large businesses, making it nearly impossible for voters to understand its full complexity. How the most successful disruptors in politics (like Thatcher) succeed BEST MOMENTS "During the second World War, our economy contracted by 45%. We were about half as rich in 1945 as we were in 1939. Where the UK is, is it's been through a phase of kind of 10, 12 years of being pretty stagnant at a moment where the US has been growing fast." "The top three people in the US, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, their wealth is equivalent to the bottom 50% of the entire American population. They now have more money than 160 million American people. Thank God we haven't reached those levels yet." "I kept saying to them, what are you doing? Right? All of you know, looking at your spending plans that you're gonna have to put up taxes and borrow more money because you've got a 70 billion pound black hole and all of them denied it all the way through the election." "The problem in America and Britain is we never seem to get the balance right and boy has the balance gone wrong with the billionaires, they have created virtual monopolies. Think about Google, it’s got us all over a barrel." "I don't know whether I'd go for Prime Minister again but I'd definitely like to look at doing something for the country. I think there's no job in government, no job in the world, more interesting than government that touches lives more directly."

Rob interviews acclaimed author Michael Lewis to discuss why right now we could be waiting for the biggest crash in history. They discuss financial markets, government trust and economic instability. Lewis also shares his thoughts on potential market crashes, cryptocurrency as well as the controversial figures shaping today's economy including Elon Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried. Michael Lewis REVEALS: Why a potential future market crash could be catastrophic if triggered by a lack of faith in the US government That financial markets are rigged Why you should ignore and stay away from crypto His thoughts on why Elon Musk is power drunk and ignorant The real reason neither U.S presidential candidate addressed the debt crisis The underlying trait of all successful people What he thinks of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried BEST MOMENTS "If it's a government started crisis... like a collapse in faith in the U.S. government, in the U.S. government debt then it's much bigger than the financial crisis because there's nothing to put it out." "We have a president here whose M.O. is to destroy trust. He's really good at it, he finds places where people trust people or institutions that are trusted, and he wrecks them." "The markets work, it's constant game theory, once something's identified, it's no longer useful and it's a game where the rules change every day."
