Summary

To celebrate our second anniversary, we have an extra special episode with Simon Squibb, the multi-millionaire on a mission to change the world.

Despite selling his business for more money than he could spend in his lifetime, Simon is hell-bent on giving it all away. He passionately believes we all have the entrepreneurial spirit within us and wants to encourage as many people as possible to break free from the shackles of the matrix to take control of their financial destiny.

Simon uses his viral social media accounts to reach millions of people every week to spread a message of positivity and hope through the possibilities of entrepreneurship without any of the fluff.

In his own direct manner, Simon is not scared to speak his truth as he warns people away from the next get-rich-quick scheme and explains why he thinks a lot of the advice given is hugely damaging, especially around leveraging debt.

He’s a man with a big heart and an even bigger mission; enjoy!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

No matter how far we fall in life, there are always things to be thankful for. Life itself is a gift, and so long as you have determination, you can pull yourself out of any situation.
Authenticity counts for far more in the world than the manipulation that some believe is the road to success. People are drawn to kindness and instinctually feel the need to be kind in return.
Faking it till you make it is definitely a worthwhile strategy at the outset of your career, but you have to be authentic enough to follow through on your promises.
There needs to be some kind of benefit system in order to help the most vulnerable in society, but we need to make sure that the help doesn't encourage people to never try to make it on their own. And the system should never penalise those who do want to try to do better for themselves.

BEST MOMENTS

'They shouldn't ask what you want to be when you grow up. They should ask which problem do you want to solve?'

'When the sun comes up and you're hungry, it becomes fight of flight'

'You can fake it till you make it if you intend to follow through'

'A lot of people are penalised for wanting to do something!'

ABOUT THE HOST

Not so long ago, life was barely recognisable for Ellie McKay, raising three children under five, battling post-natal depression, facing redundancy and walking into the job centre to claim benefits with a double pram, no confidence, and wracked with insecurities.

Fast forward to today, and life looks very different. Ellie committed to turning her life around for herself and her family. Following this commitment, she got to work and has now built multiple successful companies, as well as having created a multimillion-pound property portfolio from a standing start.

Ellie is now on a mission to make a positive impact and add value to others through her podcast which has attracted phenomenal guests worldwide. The show is specifically to help those trying to reach their full potential through its inspirational and motivational content, as well as challenging conventional wisdom to discuss all the “hot topics” in a relentless pursuit of the truth.
