Success in the construction industry relies heavily on strong relationships and trust with clients and partners. A focus on honesty and integrity fosters repeat business and long-term partnerships. The drive to leave a legacy for future generations is a significant motivator. Success is not just about personal wealth but also about creating opportunities and giving back to the community. BEST MOMENTS "What I train myself for is to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. I like to put myself through it because it's conditioning." "As a CEO, you've got to be a risk taker. You have to take risks to grow your business." "For me, it's not the Lambos, it's not the helicopters. I walk most places... I want to leave behind my legacy."

Steven welcomes Calum Best, son of the legendary footballer George Best, and one of the foremost entrepreneurs and personalities of his generation. The conversation delves into Calum's experiences growing up in the shadow of his father's fame, the pressures of living with a parent struggling with addiction, and the impact of his father's legacy on his own life. Calum also shares candid reflections on his journey through personal challenges, including his own battles with substance use after his father's passing. Key Takeaways Growing up as the son of a legendary footballer, there was significant pressure to live up to that legacy, which initially affected his enjoyment of football. Over time, he learned to embrace the sport for his own enjoyment rather than the expectations placed upon him. While there were moments of joy and bonding, addiction ultimately led to a strained relationship and significant emotional turmoil. The intrusive nature of the press during his father's illness and after his passing created additional challenges. Despite the fame associated with being George Best's son, it also meant dealing with public scrutiny and the pressures that come with it. After his father's death, he entered a dark period marked by heavy drinking and partying. However, he eventually recognised the need for change, leading to a healthier lifestyle and a focus on personal growth and charity work. BEST MOMENTS "I sometimes wish I'd felt that way when I was younger, because I took a long break... I just drank and fucking partied, you know what I mean?" "You reach a point where all the bad stuff seems to filter away... you wanna go, right, what were the good fucking things that I remember?" "I remember thinking, God, man, that's fucked up. They're like, you know, if you see this man out, don't give him a drink." "I remember saying, fuck the world. I remember saying, screw everybody. And I didn't give a shit anymore."

Craig also touches on the dynamics of the boxing industry, the significance of championship belts, and the evolving landscape of the sport. Key Takeaways Thriving under pressure is a key trait for successful fighters. The ability to perform well when facing adversity or high expectations can lead to better outcomes in fights. The journey of learning from past fights, including the realisation of needing more experience before reaching the pinnacle of boxing, reflects the idea that setbacks can lead to personal and professional growth.

Steven is joined by former Premier League footballer Steve Sidwell, who shares his journey from the pitch to the podcast studio, reflecting on his career and the transition to life after football. He discusses the challenges of retirement, the void left by the game, and his current training for the London Marathon, motivated by personal connections to health issues. The conversation delves into the art world, the culture of football dressing rooms, and the evolution of player dynamics in the modern game, highlighting the balance between natural talent and hard work Key Takeaways Reflecting on a career as a premiership footballer, there is a deep sense of nostalgia for the experiences of playing, training, and the camaraderie within the team. The emotional connection to the sport and the memories of specific moments, such as victories and the atmosphere of match days, are profoundly cherished. The transition from professional football to training for events like the London Marathon illustrates the importance of routine, commitment, and sacrifice. The discipline required in both football and marathon training highlights the parallels between athletic dedication and personal goals. Effective leadership within a team is crucial, with examples of strong leaders like John Terry and Didier Drogba demonstrating how their presence and work ethic inspired their teammates. The shift towards a more diverse and sensitive environment in dressing rooms reflects broader societal changes, with a noted difference in how criticism and accountability are handled compared to previous generations. BEST MOMENTS "I miss it badly. I'm talking everything, not just playing... the smell of cut grass, all the silly things like that that you just can't replicate." "When you get back into training, the commitment, the dedication... you've got to sacrifice stuff." "I knew my role, I knew what I had to do and I worked it... I had to give 100% and really, really work all the time." "There's no loyalty in football. You think you're going to be loyal to this football club and that football club will do the dirty on you just as quick as you would if you wanted to leave."

Steven is joined by Dan Edgington of Mayfair Prestige - a foremost supplier of luxury cars. They discuss the unique clientele that frequents the Mayfair Prestige showroom, debunking the myth that only celebrities buy high-end vehicles. Dan talks about his most memorable interactions with down-to-earth clients and highlights the appeal of classic models like the Ferrari 355, and the future of motor vehicles and their emerging technologies. Key Takeaways The clientele for high-end cars is more diverse than commonly perceived, including down-to-earth individuals from various backgrounds, not just celebrities or wealthy elites. Many clients are successful businesspeople who view cars as a passion rather than a status symbol. Certain classic cars, like the Ferrari 355, are considered undervalued and are seen as good long-term investments, especially those with manual gearboxes. It's important to understand market trends and the types of cars that appreciate in value. There is a distinction made between the practicality of electric cars for everyday use and the drawbacks of hybrid vehicles, which may compromise the driving experience. The preference leans towards naturally aspirated engines for a more engaging driving experience. The luxury car market experienced a bubble during COVID-19, leading to inflated prices. Post-pandemic, there has been a correction, with many cars depreciating in value. However, this is seen as a normal part of the market cycle, and dealers can adapt to these changes. BEST MOMENTS "You'd be surprised how normal and down to earth the people that buy the high-end cars are." "The optimum horsepower for any car that anyone needs on any road is circa about 600 to 650." "I think McLaren make fantastic cars... but from a business point of view, I get nervous."

He also reflects on the changing dynamics of boxing, particularly the rise of celebrity fighters like Jake Paul, and the implications for the sport, as well as the world of podcasting, discussing the importance of authenticity and the challenges of maintaining integrity in a media landscape filled with sensationalism Key Takeaways Good art evokes thought and emotion, while bad art fails to resonate with the viewer. Art can reflect personal experiences and provoke conversation, as well as inspire us to recall key moments in our own journey. Being a football fan is a complex experience, especially when the clubs we love take us on rollercoaster rides of emotion We are seeing a changing landscape of media, particularly in the rise of podcasts and social media as platforms for content creation, allowing for more authentic and diverse voices to be heard.

Different fighters require different training approaches to maximise their potential.

Social media can contribute to anxiety and pressure among athletes, making it important for them to manage their consumption of online content and focus on self-development instead.

BEST MOMENTS "I believe that the Army has given me a better mindset... through the hardship, through physical training and all through the camaraderie." "I think a lot of people got into the military that shouldn't necessarily be there... I don't think they should be leading guys into any kind of scenario." "When I think about the army, you think about that slogan, be the best... it doesn't matter whether you get shot at, you go out there and do your thing."

Josh shares his journey into comedy, inspired by legends like Billy Connolly, and reflects on tough gigs that shaped his career.

Key Takeaways Public speaking can be daunting for many, but with practice and experience, it becomes easier. Josh emphasises that performing stand-up comedy is a skill that improves over time, much like any other job. Tough gigs are an essential part of a comedian's growth and can help to shape the performer you become Social media can be a double-edged sword for comedians. While it provides a platform for reaching a wider audience, it also exposes them to both positive and negative feedback. A comedian's style evolves over time through experience and self-discovery. The best aim to bring their own world to the stage, rather than fitting into a specific comedic category. BEST MOMENTS "I can honestly say I've been doing it 10 years now and it's like any job... you go through them times of it going amazing... but then you also go through times of it going terribly." "You only get better from tough gigs. That's what I've found, you know. And persevering." "If you think you can do better, why don't you fucking come up here and give it a go yourself?"

Steven talks to star, Jamie Jewitt, about everything from sports to personal health and the impact of social media. Jamie shares his journey from being a model and reality TV star to focusing on his health and fitness, discussing his experiences with various diets, including his current carnivore regimen, and the significant improvements he's seen in his physical and mental well-being Key Takeaways There is a strong link between physical health and mental well-being. Improving one's diet can lead to significant improvements in mood, motivation, and overall health. Following a carnivore diet has led to remarkable health improvements, including alleviation of digestive issues and joint pain, as well as increased energy and strength. Social media can perpetuate superficial values and create a culture of comparison and negativity. It can also manipulate narratives, influencing public perception and behaviour. Both unhealthy and healthy lifestyles are choices. The default setting in modern society often leans towards unhealthy habits, but individuals have the power to change their circumstances and improve their health. BEST MOMENTS "I thought it was really tough to watch. They kept getting into their end and then doing bugger all with the ball." "I always said when I was thin, I'd be a fat person if I didn't... if it was up to me or if I took my foot off the gas, I'd go." "I think it's important we talk more about that connection and less about this... mental health conversation." "I just felt like a fucking pushover, like a... I'm getting handed everything on a platter." "The media trained us on how to use social media... they can manipulate any single narrative that it wanted."

Steven talks to boxing legend Bryant Jennings about his upcoming fight in Philadelphia, his belief in the law of attraction, and his thoughts on the changing landscape of boxing. Bryant reflects on his past fights against Klitschko and shares insights on potential future matchups. The conversation delves into the complexities of the boxing world, touching on the misconceptions about money in the sport and the challenges faced by fighters in managing their finances Key Takeaways Money in boxing is not evenly distributed, with only the top fighters making substantial amounts. The perception of boxers being wealthy is often a misconception, as many fighters struggle financially. The current boxing landscape has fewer fighters making more money, compared to the past where more fighters shared the earnings. Managing money wisely is crucial for boxers, as financial success is not solely dependent on earnings but also on financial management. Only the top superstars in boxing, such as Canelo and AJ, are able to secure significant financial rewards, while others may struggle to make ends meet. BEST MOMENTS "You always have to speak things into existence and never speak of any doubt." "I think he's complete. He's done everything that he can do, and just rightfully so." "I think that taking a different route, a little shortcut, is a better option for me." "He's done everything that he can do, and just rightfully so." "The rise of Saudi Arabia and the money...

Steven talks to professional boxer Archie Sharp, about the various aspects of boxing, including the evolution of the sport, the recent 5-versus-5 matches between promoters, the importance of pay in boxing, sponsorship challenges, and the mindset required to remain undefeated. Archie shares insights into his training regimen, the impact of inactivity on his performance, and his experience of getting knocked down in a recent fight. He also touches on his relationship with his trainer, Roy Jones Jr., and his determination to continue his undefeated streak despite facing challenges Key Takeaways Despite getting knocked down in a fight, Archie demonstrates resilience and composure by getting back up and continuing to fight. The role of a strong corner team, including trainers and coaches, is crucial in guiding a boxer through challenging moments during a fight. Archie's ability to adapt during a fight, such as switching to southpaw after being knocked down, showcases his adaptability and strategic thinking under pressure. Archie's mindset of never wanting to taste defeat again, coupled with his determination to succeed, drives his training and performance in the ring. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's gotten better now since the whole Saudi, Frank and Eddie joining together. I was not going to lie, I was a bit fearful for boxing a couple of years prior to where we are now with all the influence boxing and for YouTube boxing." "A young kid texted me the other day on LinkedIn and said, Arch, I'm just starting out as a boxer. I had a go about sponsorship. I said, mate, it's an odd one."

Steven talks once more to former footballer and free-speech advocate, Matt Le Tissier about the impact of money on football, the evolution of the game, the influence of social media, and the current state of English football.

To preserve free speech we must look hard at social media platforms, and the role of individuals like Elon Musk in potentially influencing the landscape of free speech BEST MOMENTS "I think the schooling system is an indoctrination center. It's been abused by the radical far left to get their little agendas into the schools." "I think the general public have been absolutely brilliant. It's been an absolute pleasure to be out in public and to see so many people who are prepared to come up and sometimes actually go, you know what, Matt, I thought you were mad a couple of years ago, but actually you were right." "I think the ratio of people coming up to me and thanking me for sticking my neck out over the last few years is way more than anybody who's come up to me and said that I was a conspiracy theorist or an anti-vaxxer." "I know you're a man who believes in freedom of speech. Cashless, cryptocurrency, central currency, electric cars, are all these things good for humanity or do you think they're going to restrict us?"
