The Money Making Expert: Build Your First £1M Business! Start, Fund, Hire & Scale | Daniel Priestley
Daniel Priestley is a world leading entrepreneur and business coach who has spent 25 years building businesses.He has started seven companies that went from zero to more than one million in their first 12 months, completed six acquisitions and four exits, written seven books on entrepreneurship and worked with more than 5,500 business owners.So we asked him to break down the practical journey of building a business.How do you know if your idea is good? When should you leave your job?Who should you build with?How do you fund it? And how do you create something that can scale without depending entirely on you?In this episode, you will learn:• Why you should validate an idea before risking your career or savings, and the most effective way to prove demand• Why pre-sales is one of the strongest ways to fund an early business, and why you should be cautious about investing your own money• How to choose a co-founder, why healthy conflict matters and the “lock antlers” rule to make disagreement safe• Why you shouldn't hire from large corporates in the early stages of a company and who to hire instead• Why culture, not people, is your greatest asset• How to build systems that allow a company to perform without constant micromanagementWe also explore personal branding, marketing, AI, passive income and how teams of four can now compete with companies of 400.But towards the end, Daniel shares the side of entrepreneurship that rarely appears in the playbooks.Losing one of his closest friendships through business. Spending five years under enormous financial pressure. Watching his father suffer a devastating stroke. And during that period, discovering that someone he trusted inside his company had stolen from him.After 25 years of chasing opportunities, Daniel's definition of success has become much simpler:Moving towards a compelling future, at a speed you enjoy, with people you love.Because there is little point building something extraordinary if you destroy everything else along the way.Follow Daniel: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielpriestley/https://www.youtube.com/c/KeyPersonOfInfluence/videoshttps://www.instagram.com/dentglobalhttps://www.facebook.com/dpriestleyhttps://twitter.com/DanielPriestley#ThrivingMinds #AlbertoZandi #DanielPriestley #Entrepreneurship #BusinessSuccess #HospitalityIndustry #StartupLife #Mindset #Purpose #Fatherhood #WealthMindset #ScalingBusiness #SuccessMindset Hosted on Acast.

World-Leading Gut Scientist: The New Food Rules For Mood, Brain Health & A Healthier Gut | Doctor Tim Spector
Doctor Tim Spector is one of the world's leading scientists in nutrition, gut health, and its relationship with the brain and overall health.He is Professor of Genetic Epidemiology and Head of Department at King's College London, has published more than 900 scientific papers, is one of the world's most cited scientists, co-founded ZOE and is the bestselling author of multiple books on nutrition and health.Now, Tim returns to Thriving Minds to explore what the latest science tells us about the relationship between food, our gut and our brain.In this episode, you will learn:• Why the food you eat affects the signals reaching your brain• How your gut and immune system influence mood and mental health• Why antibiotics can disrupt your gut microbiome for months or years, and when taking them is actually necessary• Why protein, calorie counting and most supplements remain overhyped, and what matters more for long-term health• The foods and supplements that actually can improve your gut and support your brain• Why Dr Spector Tim has changed his mind on nutritional advice including vitamin D, and why changing your beliefs when the evidence changes is fundamental to good scienceWe also explore sleep, exercise, GLP-1 weight loss drugs, inflammation, children's nutrition and why looking healthy does not necessarily mean being healthy.But this conversation is also deeply personal.Dr Spector opens up about his mother's dementia and how watching her no longer recognise him has intensified his determination to understand what we can do earlier in life to protect our future health.After decades studying genetics, ageing and disease, his message has become increasingly simple:The food choices we make every day shape far more than our weight.They shape our body, our mood and our brain.Follow Dr. Spector:https://www.instagram.com/tim.spector/https://twitter.com/timspectorhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/timspector/Dr. Spector Books:https://amzn.to/4m1KJNDFollow ZOE:https://www.youtube.com/c/ZOE-healthhttps://www.instagram.com/zoe/https://www.facebook.com/joinzoe1/https://www.tiktok.com/@join_zoehttps://zoe.com/zoeverse#GutHealth #Microbiome #Nutrition #HealthyEating #Wellness #TimSpector #Podcast #HealthScience #FoodMatters #ZOE #thrivingminds Hosted on Acast.

Joe & The Juice Founder: How I Built A $1.8B Brand! Why Control Kills Culture, The Truth About Money, Private Equity, Ambition & What Success Really Means | Kaspar Basse
Kaspar Basse founded Joe & The Juice in Copenhagen in 2002 with a few thousand dollars and an ambition that was anything but small: he wanted to build something that could compete with Starbucks.Two decades later, Joe & The Juice has grown into a global brand with over 500 locations and was valued at $1.8 billion in 2026.But Kaspar believes one of the biggest mistakes companies make happens precisely when they become successful.As businesses grow, they introduce managers, processes, controls and layers of approval to protect what they have built.And in doing so, they can gradually remove the very thing that made them successful in the first place: culture, and quality.Kaspar does not believe great company culture comes from music, office perks, parties or paying slightly more than your competitors.It comes from people feeling agency, challenged, trusted, capable of improving and proud of what they do.In this episode, you will learn:• The real Joe & The Juice story like never shared before• Why Kaspar believes entrepreneurs should be naively ambitious about their vision but brutally realistic about their finances• The “Don't Blame The Weather” philosophy he used to build a culture of responsibility instead of excuses• Why too much management and control can make great employees stop thinking like owners• Why “hire the best people” is an incomplete strategy, and how businesses can develop ordinary people into exceptional performers• What more than 20 years of entrepreneurship taught him about money, private equity, impatience, ambition and knowing when to step awayKaspar also speaks unusually openly about money.He admits that financial success has always mattered to him. Even today he is not sure he would ever know how much money is enough for him.Yet his perspective on success has also changed.After decades of building, he says there is something strangely liberating about recognising that most of the things we obsess over do not matter nearly as much as we think.A great family. Great friends. Good health. And, in Kaspar's words, a wonderful restaurant in which to have a martini.This episode will teach you many things, including; how to take responsibility for what you can control, become resourceful enough to find a way forward, and stop wasting your life blaming the weather.Follow Jo & The Juice:https://www.instagram.com/joeandthejuicehttps://www.instagram.com/kasparjuice#ThrivingMinds #AlbertoZandi #KasparBasse #JoeAndTheJuice #Entrepreneurship #HospitalityBusiness #RestaurantIndustry #ScalingBusiness #DataDriven #LuxuryRestaurants #BusinessStrategy #StartupAdvice Hosted on Acast.

Cambridge Weight Loss Scientist: Your Brain Fights Weight Loss! Why Diets Are So Hard To Stick To, The Truth About Calories & How To Keep Weight Off | Prof Giles Yeo
Professor Giles Yeo MBE has spent 30 years studying one of the most misunderstood questions in health: why some people feel hungrier, gain weight more easily and find it much harder to keep weight off than others.He is Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge, where his research focuses on how our genes, hormones and brain control appetite and body weight. In 2026, he was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences for his internationally recognised work on the genetics and neuroscience of obesity.And one of his central messages challenges the way many of us think about weight.Two people can be faced with exactly the same food, but experience very different levels of hunger, fullness and reward. Your biology does not remove personal responsibility, but it can dramatically change how difficult the same decision feels.In this episode, you will learn:• Why your brain actively fights weight loss, increasing hunger and changing your metabolism when you lose weight • Why two people can eat the same food but experience completely different levels of appetite and food noise • What calories fail to tell you about food, and why protein, fibre and ultra-processed foods affect your body differently • How Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs actually work, why weight often returns after stopping them, and the risks people need to understand • Giles's simple 16:30:5 framework for eating enough protein and fibre to lose weight while reducing free sugar without obsessing over individual meals Giles also speaks personally about his son's experience with obesity and GLP-1 medication, and admits that even after spending his career studying obesity, he still had to fight the human instinct to blame.Follow Prof Giles Yeo:https://uk.linkedin.com/in/giles-yeo-2062969https://www.instagram.com/gilesyeo/https://www.facebook.com/giles.yeo/#ThrivingMinds #AlbertoZandi #GilesYeo #Neuroscience #AppetiteScience #BrainHealth #WeightLoss #HungerHormones #NutritionScience #ObesityResearch #HealthPodcast #MetabolicHealth #FoodScience Hosted on Acast.

Jay Sean: Fame Cost Me My Peace! The Truth About Fame, Money, Failure, Trusting Your Gut & Knowing When To Walk Away
Jay Sean is one of the most successful and influential artists in modern pop music.His global hit “Down”, featuring Lil Wayne, reached No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the first South Asian solo artist to top the chart. In 2026, the record was certified Diamond in the United States after surpassing 10 million units, making Jay the first South Asian artist to ever receive an RIAA Diamond certification.But his journey began with a decision almost everyone around him thought was crazy.Jay was studying medicine when he walked away from a safe career in front of him to pursue music.Then, after finally becoming successful, he walked away again.His record label wanted him to become an artist he did not recognise. Jay chose to leave, invested his own money into his music and expected another label to come calling.Nobody did.He remembers sitting alone in his car, crying, convinced he had ruined his career.What happened next changed his life.In this episode, Jay explains:◼ Why he left medicine for an uncertain career in music, and how to know when to trust your own instinct over everyone else’s opinion◼ Why he walked away from a major record deal at the height of his early success, and what his lowest moment taught him about life◼ How he rebuilt independently, eventually signed in America and created the song that would take him to No.1◼ Why fame, money and social media comparison can distort your definition of success, and how he now protects his peace◼ What being bullied for his weight, decades of body image pressure and becoming a father taught him about health, happiness and what actually mattersJay also speaks with remarkable honesty about fame.He explains why making one of the biggest songs in the world could have become a psychological trap if every future achievement had to measure up to it, and why he eventually learned to stop chasing other people’s lives and focus on becoming a better version of himself.And towards the end of the conversation, the definition of success changes completely.Jay says that being a father is his favourite role, and that when his children look back, he would rather they remember that their dad was there than remember him as a great pop star.This is not simply a conversation about becoming successful.It is about having the courage to walk away when success no longer feels aligned with you.FOLLOW JAY:YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuLaLS3QYnCWFT5hd3m2w3wYouTube Music:https://music.youtube.com/channel/UC5IMokurjvYCO1AWiCOskYgSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/4pADjHPWyrlAF0FA7joK2HApple Music:https://music.apple.com/gb/artist/jay-sean/23172423Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/jaysean/X:https://twitter.com/jayseanYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/user/jayseanworldwideFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/jaysean/#ThrivingMinds #AlbertoZandi #JaySean #BodyImage #MentalHealth #FitnessCulture #WellnessJourney #SelfLove #HealthyMindset #PersonalGrowth #MusicArtist Hosted on Acast.

Touker Suleyman is one of Britain’s best known entrepreneurs and investors, with more than 50 years of experience building, buying and transforming businesses.But long before millions knew him from Dragons’ Den, Touker lost everything.In his twenties, he was already chairman of two public companies, driving an Aston Martin and enjoying extraordinary early financial success.Then one disastrous investment triggered a domino effect.His businesses collapsed.He lost his home.And he had to start again.In this conversation, Touker explains:◼ Why early success can be dangerous, and the mistake that taught him the importance of due diligence◼ How he rebuilt after losing everything and eventually created businesses employing thousands of people◼ How he bought Hawes & Curtis for just £1, took on its debts and rebuilt the brand to be worth millions◼ The negotiation principles he has used across more than 50 years in business◼ Why entrepreneurs often ask for investment when what they actually need is better cash flow◼ Why you do not need a completely original idea to build a successful companyTouker also explains why, after 10 years, he has decided to leave Dragons’ Den and what he wants the next chapter of his life to look like.At 73, he is still launching companies, still chasing new challenges and still asking himself how far an idea can go.His definition of success has changed too.It is not simply about money.It is about freedom, reputation, purpose, happiness and leaving something behind.And after everything he has experienced, his advice remains remarkably simple:Be honest. Work hard. Never give up.Follow Touker:https://www.instagram.com/touker_suleymanhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/touker-suleyman-a009a815/https://twitter.com/toukersuleyman#ThrivingMinds #AlbertoZandi #Suleyman #DragonsDen #Entrepreneur #BusinessStrategy #Startup #FashionBusiness #RetailBusiness #Leadership #BuildingBrands #SerialEntrepreneur #BusinessMindset #Investing Hosted on Acast.

Simon Alexander Ong is a globally recognised personal development coach, international speaker and bestselling author who helps people rethink success, protect their energy and build lives that actually feel worth living.But before speaking on the biggest stages around the world, Simon spent years working in finance, following the version of success he thought he was supposed to want.Good university.Good career.Good salary.Yet he would sit at work dreaming about escaping his own life.Eventually, he realised that success on paper means very little if you feel disconnected from the person living it.In this episode, Simon explains:◼ How to recognise when discomfort has become genuine misalignment, and what to do next ◼ His SIN framework for changing your future through Skills, Inputs and Network ◼ How to stop letting fear, other people’s opinions and even your family determine your decisions ◼ The four forms of energy you need to protect: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual ◼ Why your partner, friendships and environment can dramatically influence the person you becomeBut this conversation becomes much deeper.Simon lost his mother unexpectedly when he was only 17.Her death changed the way he understood time and left him with two words that have shaped his life ever since:Don’t wait.Don’t wait until you feel ready.Don’t wait for somebody else’s permission.And don’t spend your life becoming successful according to somebody else’s definition.Because, as Simon explains, ready is not a feeling.It is a decision.Follow Simon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simonalexanderong/ https://www.youtube.com/@simonalexandero https://www.instagram.com/simonalexandero/ https://x.com/SimonAlexanderO Home - Simon Alexander OngBuy Simon's book: Book - Simon Alexander Ong#ThrivingMinds #AlbertoZandi #SimonAlexander #PublicSpeaking #KeynoteSpeaker #Mindvalley #HappinessMindset #AuthorLife #PersonalDevelopment #SuccessTips #Entrepreneurship #SpeakingCareer #SelfImprovement #Fulfillment Hosted on Acast.
