#353. Corrupt Police Drug Sting Got Me 9 Years in Prison & Lost £12M - Anthony Noble
Anthony Noble opens up about serving drugs to a corrupt cop, nine years in prison, building a £12 million empire and losing it all to cocaine and gambling - before rock bottom led him to help others break free from addiction.Raised by loving parents Lynne and John, Anthony found solace in dance from age six, traveling the world before depression pulled him back to his parents' house after overstaying his Australian visa at sixteen. Cocaine was meant to ease the pain - it became his life for twenty years. He started serving up to drug dealers to fund his habit, unknowingly becoming entangled in a corruption investigation when he delivered an ounce to an undercover officer. That drop changed everything. Prison, he says, saved his life. But clean on the other side, Anthony rebuilt - hard. Within three years he'd scaled a facilities management company from £700k to £12 million turnover. Behind the Rolexes, the yacht, and the flash was a man sniffing 6-10 grams daily, gambling his wins away on slots and horses, buying things to fill an empty soul. Then COVID hit, the business collapsed, and he ended up living in a van, showering at the gym.The real breaking point came when his unborn son was diagnosed with a rare brain disease. After weeks at Great Ormond Street, Anthony held his dying boy in his arms and pressed the button to turn off the machine. He spiralled back into cocaine and pills for months before his parents took him back in - no drugs, no drinking, just the gym and a desperate search for answers. Now five years clean, Anthony has studied human behavior, psychology and neurology. He built the "Noble Reset" - a framework that rewires the eight to ten life elements driving addiction - and mentors men through recovery. He's done ayahuasca in Peru to process his grief, rebuilt his relationship with his daughter, and recently watched his father tell him: "I'm so proud of you."This is the eventful life of Anthony Noble.If you're a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guestAll Enquiries - Hello@DodgeWoodall.comWebsite: DodgeWoodall.comYouTube: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallTikTok: @DodgeWoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

FOUNDER #44. Pilot’s Career Crashed, Then Built A £10M+ Empire From Scratch - Matt Robson
If you're a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guestMatt Robson opens up about how he went from airline pilot to building a multi-million pound property business and the mindset that turned quality properties into serious money.Never comfortable as an employee, Matt was flying for Cathay Pacific in Hong Kong making five figures monthly when the market priced him out. So he started buying back home in Middlesbrough for £100,000 - pulling 6-7 percent yields. By 2016, he had a dozen properties generating income while he slept. Mates kept asking for advice, so he built a website and started a business. His first deal: a house on a £110,000 street that he got for £77,000. What he discovered changed everything - cheap properties are a false economy. Tenants respect nice things and they hold value. Quality stock in the sweet spot compounds. Now running a multi-million pound operation, he's spotted what everyone's missing: Middlesbrough is changing. Treasury relocating. Net Zero Teesside launching. A million pounds there gets you a spectacular house. Same million in Bournemouth gets a decent semi. His philosophy: every day, get one percent better.This is the eventful life of Matt Robson.All Enquiries - Hello@DodgeWoodall.comWebsite: DodgeWoodall.comYouTube: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallTikTok: @DodgeWoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

#352. Brixton's Top Boy To Jungle Legend: Prison, Guns & Burial - Jumpin Jack Frost
Nigel Thompson "Jumpin Jack Frost" opens up about becoming one of the founding voices of jungle music and the years of addiction and prison that shaped the journey behind it.Raised in 1970s Brixton in a West Indian household steeped in sound-system culture, Frost was sneaking into local dances by age nine and expelled from school for fighting, all while his father served a 12-year sentence for armed robbery. He got his start on pirate radio alongside lifelong friend and business partner Brian G, before breakbeat and acid house pulled him toward what became jungle. He tells the story of recording "Burial" in a single five-hour session while out on bail on a firearms charge that later put him in prison, releasing it under the alias Leviticus and only decades later watching Def Jam rerelease it as an anniversary record.Behind the music was a slide into addiction that spiralled during lockdown, before he got clean three and a half years ago and nursed his mother through terminal cancer. Now he mentors young DJs and people in recovery, rebuilding bonds with his six children and nine grandchildren.This is the eventful life of Nigel Thompson "Jumpin Jack Frost".

FOUNDER #43. £100M+ Genius from East London To Living Tax Free In Monaco - Paul Smith
If you're a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guestPaul Smith opens up about how he built a nine-figure property portfolio and the mindset that turned overlooked deals into serious money.Raised by two teachers in Yorkshire, Paul was doing house refurbs with his dad from age seven. He bought his first property outright for nine grand, did it up, sold it, and repeated the process three more times before he even realised he had a system. He breaks down the discovery that built his fortune: while everyone chased residential property, small commercial buildings - shops, offices, units under £2 million - sat mispriced and ignored. He tells the story of a five-tenant office block bought for £134,000 that brought in £36,000 a year from day one, and a derelict Doncaster office block picked up for £810,000 that later paid out £550,000 tax-free through capital allowances. Now living abroad and heavily invested in gold, he explains the thinking behind his book, The Art of Wealth which is distilled down to how to make money, protect it, and pass it on.This is the eventful life of Paul Smith. if you want to find out more about Paul:📖 BUY THE BOOK HERE:👉 https://mtwmb91.s.gy/Wealththroughpropertyhttps://joinaowi.com/ All Enquiries - Hello@DodgeWoodall.comWebsite: DodgeWoodall.comYouTube: Dodge WoodallFacebook: Dodge WoodallInstagram: @Dodge.WoodallTikTok: @DodgeWoodallLinkedIn: Dodge Woodall Hosted on Acast.

FOUNDER #42. £250M Property Giant Betrayed By The "Monster" He Created - John Reynolds
If you're a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guestJohn Reynolds opens up about what it really takes to build a £250M property empire from scratch - and the brutal realities that come with chasing opportunity at scale.Drawing on decades in the industry, he breaks down how he went from commission-only sales to spotting a once-in-a-generation shift in the market - turning overlooked office buildings into high-value residential developments before most people even understood the opportunity. He takes Dodge through the mindset behind it all - moving fast, taking calculated risks, and committing to deals worth millions in a matter of days. He explains the pressure of operating at that level, where hesitation costs you everything… because if you don’t act, someone else will. He opens up about the darker side of business - being undercut by powerful investors, having deals taken from under him, and learning the hard way that trust, without protection, can cost you everything.This is a conversation about instinct, risk, and learning to play the game at the highest level - without losing everything along the way.This is the eventful life of John Reynolds.

#350. 21 Signs You’re Married to a Female Narcissist (They Never Change) - Phillip Dugas
Phillip Dugas opens up about a subject almost nobody talks about - the hidden abuse good, strong men suffer at the hands of narcissistic partners, and why most blokes wouldn't even recognise it's happening to them.Drawing on years of coaching men - athletes, entrepreneurs, even a US Navy SEAL - he breaks down how it starts: the love bombing and perfect-couple stage that curdles into years of walking on eggshells. He talks Dodge through gaslighting, isolation, and the gulf between a narcissist's public charm and private cruelty - the reason nobody believes the man when he finally speaks up. He unpacks the five red flags of a female narcissist, overt versus covert narcissism, and why almost none of them ever change. He lays out the exit strategy - documenting every argument, finding a tough divorce attorney before the smear campaign starts, and the brutal maths of staying versus leaving. And he opens up about the free resource, 21 Signs She Might Be a Narcissist, built to help men see the pattern before it's too late.This is the eventful life of Phillip Dugas.

If you're a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guestAl Barratt shares how he built Grenade from a £500 startup loan into a business last valued at £611 million, disrupting chocolate aisles and petrol station shelves across the UK before catching the attention of the world's biggest confectionery players.Alan explains how staying lean in the early years, refusing to pigeonhole the brand into one niche, and deliberately choosing physical retail over social media dependency played a central role in scaling Grenade from two people working out of a house to a company courted by Mondelez.He also reflects on the emotional weight of building something with no salary for the first four years, the discipline of dividing roles with his then-wife Jules as co-founder, and the strange, nervy months leading up to finally letting go of a business he calls "our baby." Alan discusses leadership, timing, mentoring the next generation of founders through Virgin StartUp, and what long-term success actually looks like once the exceptional wealth is no longer the thing that gets you out of bed in the morning.This is the eventful life of Mr Al Barratt.
