Happy New Year! This year I´m doing a life experiment on living stoically and who better to kick the year off than my favorite stoic author! William B. Irvine is the author of A Guide to the Good Life: The Ancient Guide to Stoic Joy. This is the book that I consider the most important […]

Here are my top 10 books to read that made the biggest impact in my entrepreneur life: #10 Think and Grow Rich – Napoleon Hill Commissioned by the Andrew Carniege, the world’s richest man because he wanted more people to understand how to create wealth. I learned to focus, focus and focus! My main takeaway is […]

Tom Corson-Knowles started his first business at the age of 13. I’ll let that sink in for a bit, while you think about what you were doing at age 13. I think I was probably playing my NES…anyway, while we can’t all be so committed at such an early age, we can learn from Tom’s […]

This week’s guest is a guy who speaks right to my heart – it’s Bob Burg, author of The Go-Giver. Bob is a strong believer in the principle that giving is just as important as getting – and even more than that, giving freely to others actually helps you get more back in return! That’s […]

The second part of my Hardcore MBA seminar series is on a topic very near to my heart – gadgets, software, and technology. If you’re reading this, you probably know that I’m all about finding ways to save your time and leverage other people’s, and there’s no better way to do this than using carefully […]

On Hardcore MBA, we’re often talking about how to put in the hard work to get your business up and running. But the whole point of following my model and setting up an efficient business that leverages other people’s time is to get yourself a freedom lifestyle. And that means taking time out to relax […]

This week we’re trying something a little different here at Hardcore MBA – instead of interviewing a successful entrepreneur, author, or coach to see how their mind ticks, I’m going to give you a little insight into my own success! This week’s episode is the first part of a series of resources I’m putting together […]

Let’s be honest: I make these podcasts look pretty effortless with my innate charm, high levels of charisma, and – of course – extreme modesty. But jokes aside, a lot of work goes into getting these things from my brain to your tablet/phone/laptop/whatever else you might be listening on. Potential guests need to be emailed, […]

This week’s Hardcore MBA guest was once just an ordinary guy living an ordinary life in the middle of the USA. Then Cliff Ravenscraft took the very simple decision to start a podcast about his favourite TV show, Lost. Two years later, he had 65,000 listeners and was inviting some very influential people out to […]

If you’ve ever wondered absolutely anything about the world of tech startups, you’re in luck – because this week’s Hardcore MBA guest, Ron Goddard, is one of the most knowledgeable people you could possibly meet. He provides advice to technology startups looking to build prototypes, pick up customers, and find angel investors, and this week […]

Sometimes when you watch sports, you have that moment when your team’s new star player is only a teenager, and you suddenly feel really old. This week’s Hardcore MBA guest is the entrepreneurial equivalent of that (well, for me at least!), because Ollie Forsyth is only 18 years old, and he already runs his own […]

This week’s Hardcore MBA guest claims that his favourite business book is Never Work Again, and you know what they say – flattery will get you everywhere! So it’s my pleasure to welcome to the show Neil Patel, who started his first business as a teenager, and now helps others to reach the same levels […]

The first thing you might think when you start watching this week’s video is that James Altucher looks just a little bit like a mad scientist – it’s the hair that does it. But Albert Einstein looked like a mad scientist too, and while I’m sure James would agree that he’s not quite at that […]

I love YouTube – it’s the second biggest search engine in the world, which is amazing when you consider it contains only one kind of resource, tons and tons of videos. This week’s Hardcore MBA guest John Michael also loves YouTube, because it’s what turned him from a regular guy working too many hours into […]

This week on Hardcore MBA we have another star of TV’s The Apprentice (you might remember that I previously chatted with winner Mark Wright). But Bianca Miller was already a top-notch entrepreneur before turning up with Lord Sugar, having started her first business as a dance teacher at the tender age of 12, and had […]

This week on Hardcore MBA we have something a little different. Instead of talking about sales figures and revenue, we’re going to talk about something a little deeper – how to find true love! Actually, I’m slightly joking, we do also talk about how to increase your revenue. This week’s guest is Hayley Quinn, a […]

This week’s Hardcore MBA guest focuses on something that seems so simple, but which so many of us get wrong – breathing. Breathing isn’t just something we need to do to stay alive – it can also calm us down and regulate our stress, which is vital to an entrepreneur in the modern world. That’s […]

This week’s Hardcore MBA guest is a dapper chap who’s never seen out and about without a suit on – it’s Michael J Ringer, from Lion Sales Training. We focus a lot on sales techniques and training on our Hardcore MBA podcasts, and I make no apologies for that – being able to sell is […]

This week’s Hardcore MBA guest is a good friend of mine who’s written some of my favourite business books, including The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur, The Pumpkin Plan, and Profit First. He’s Mike Michaolowicz, and on this week’s podcast, he tells us about the principles underlying those books, and gives us the lowdown on his latest […]
