From multi million dollar divorces to why marriages fail, Sexton gives his perspective as someone who's seen relationships at their worst. He discusses expensive settlements, entrepreneur marriages and reveals the real cause of divorce. James Sexton REVEALS: The real cause of divorce How he manipulates emotions for a living His thoughts on prenups Dealing with narcissistic clients How he manipulates emotions for a living The most expensive divorce he handled Whether entrepreneurs make good spouses BEST MOMENTS "I'm a good ex-husband. I don't think I was a great husband, I'm impatient, I love my work. I don't think I love anything as much as I love my work so I don't know what that says." "56% of marriages end in divorce and yet it's assumed that it's something you should do and to add to that, 86% of people who get divorced are remarried within five years of their divorce." "The people I represent you've never heard of and they could buy those celebrities 10 times over. They drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee, they wear a Timex watch. They're not posh. They're just people who look like they're no one." "I divorce the person we marry, and I think that there's a lid for every pot. I think that it's really less about the individual character... it's also about finding someone that's complimentary to you." "What would appear to be a red flag may be something that requires a polarity. Like some person's trash is another person's treasure."

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob interviews Tom Jaconelli, co-owner of Romans International with over 30 million worth of supercars. Tom talks about the luxury car market, from which models make the best investments to the shocking maintenance costs of hypercars. He shares stories about celebrity clients, cars that appreciate versus depreciate and gives tips for aspiring collectors. Tom Jaconelli REVEALS: That he still gets excited about special cars, the Bugatti Veyron was his first supercar experience as a child and remains one of the most exciting cars he's ever seen. How he helped grow the family business to 100 million in annual turnover, with their showroom currently holding over 100 cars worth around 30 million. His fact driven and transparent sales approach, which sometimes talks customers out of deals but builds greater long term trust. His profits and losses in the business, revealing they've made up to 400,000 on a single car but have also lost around 100,000 on others when market conditions shifted. What celebrities he has worked with including Rod Stewart, Simon Cowell and members of One Direction That many high profile clients now prefer understated vehicles rather than flashy supercars. Why he focuses on improving the business rather than expanding it further, prioritising quality over quantity. The cars that will appreciate well since they represent "the last of something" in an increasingly digital and electrified car market. BEST MOMENTS "These cars are starting to become their own asset class, people of wealth are thinking, right, I want a property portfolio, I want a stock portfolio. I want maybe a bit of crypto and they're now thinking, I also want a car portfolio." "For me, if I had 50 grand, I'd be probably looking more at some of like the German muscle cars, like the C 63 AMGs, maybe even an RS six V 10. You know, they don't make them anymore." "People say you shouldn't mix family and business, don't they? I think you know, being a family member of this business, you are more driven by it." My dad, Paul Elli. He is the ultimate. He's the goat, he can sell ice to the Eskimos. He has a natural gift of the gab and he won't even know what he's selling a lot of the time."

Rory Stewart | How to Fix Broken Britain | How Rory Stewart Would Fix Politics in the UK
Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob is joined by former UK politician Rory Stewart for a discussion on the state of British politics, including government inefficiency and the rise of populism. Rory Stewart gives his take on everything from the UK's economic challenges to Trump's leadership style, drawing from his own experience in government and talks about how we could fix politics in the UK. They also discuss inequality, political communication and the many flaws in democracy and politics right now. Rory Stewart REVEALS: His thoughts on Trump Why many Britons feel uncomfortable and awkward about the UK at the moment The UK isn't in rapid decline but stagnating whilst the US grows faster Why current inequality in Britain stems from the 1980s Thatcher-Reagan era, where privatisation without regulation or monopoly prevention allowed private companies to exploit public utilities Why politicians deliberately lie during elections Our current democratic system is broken How government is exponentially more complex than even large businesses, making it nearly impossible for voters to understand its full complexity. How the most successful disruptors in politics (like Thatcher) succeed BEST MOMENTS "During the second World War, our economy contracted by 45%. We were about half as rich in 1945 as we were in 1939. Where the UK is, is it's been through a phase of kind of 10, 12 years of being pretty stagnant at a moment where the US has been growing fast." "The top three people in the US, Jeff Bezos, Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, their wealth is equivalent to the bottom 50% of the entire American population. They now have more money than 160 million American people. Thank God we haven't reached those levels yet." "I kept saying to them, what are you doing? Right? All of you know, looking at your spending plans that you're gonna have to put up taxes and borrow more money because you've got a 70 billion pound black hole and all of them denied it all the way through the election." "The problem in America and Britain is we never seem to get the balance right and boy has the balance gone wrong with the billionaires, they have created virtual monopolies. Think about Google, it s got us all over a barrel." "I don't know whether I'd go for Prime Minister again but I'd definitely like to look at doing something for the country. I think there's no job in government, no job in the world, more interesting than government that touches lives more directly."

Lewis also shares his thoughts on potential market crashes, cryptocurrency as well as the controversial figures shaping today's economy including Elon Musk and Sam Bankman-Fried. Michael Lewis REVEALS: Why a potential future market crash could be catastrophic if triggered by a lack of faith in the US government That financial markets are rigged Why you should ignore and stay away from crypto His thoughts on why Elon Musk is power drunk and ignorant The real reason neither U.S presidential candidate addressed the debt crisis The underlying trait of all successful people What he thinks of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried BEST MOMENTS "If it's a government started crisis... like a collapse in faith in the U.S. government, in the U.S. government debt then it's much bigger than the financial crisis because there's nothing to put it out." "We have a president here whose M.O. is to destroy trust. He's really good at it, he finds places where people trust people or institutions that are trusted, and he wrecks them." "The markets work, it's constant game theory, once something's identified, it's no longer useful and it's a game where the rules change every day."

With Reform now polling at 26-27%, Yusuf reveals his optimism for making Nigel Farage the next Prime Minister and transforming the UK into a country that rewards entrepreneurship, innovation, and hard work. Zia Yusuf REVEALS: Why Reform UK's have risen in popularity, growing from 14% to 27% in polls in just 8 months. That Reform UK are close to becoming the largest party in the UK by membership. Why he believes the UK's immigration policy has become unsustainable. That Reform UK is built on a grassroots funding model, with over 90% of costs covered by membership fees and small donations, deliberately avoiding dependence on large donors to maintain independence. The party plans to eliminate income tax on earnings below 20,000, reduce corporation tax thresholds and cut regulations to boost entrepreneurship. Why he chose politics over starting another business. Why Reform UK are like a startup, disrupting established parties. BEST MOMENTS "Anyone who has been brought up in the system, Tory, Labour, that whole westminster ecosystem, will be unable to fundamentally change how the system works and that is what we have to do." "I love this country, it's given me so much opportunity. I'm going to stay and fight and I still think we can turn this around." "We've got to change the culture in this country, return our culture to one where success is viewed as a good thing. Stop hating landlords, stop hating business owners, stop hating millionaires." "We need to be clear that if you come here illegally, you will never get the right to remain under any circumstances and you will be deported to the country from which you came." "When I first came into politics... I said this is still a country where people literally risk their lives to come to, even from France. If we're not careful, we will no longer have a country that people fall over themselves wanting to come to."

That he doesn t trust the government and banking systems How he has prepped to be self-sufficient and been ready for 30 years for a crisis Many Bitcoin owners are unprepared for tax obligations and audits He sees Bitcoin as a "time machine" that will accelerate returns beyond what real estate or other assets could provide. How he minimises his income to avoid taxes, preferring to build wealth through appreciating assets BEST MOMENTS "I think Bitcoin is an unbelievable call option on the future of digitising planet Earth and without me paying an extra penny, it is an insurance policy . "Most of the people on this planet that have a shitload of money, they didn't go to school. "I call them degradings accounts, not savings accounts...because they're not savings you are losing your money, but being marketed by the banks and the governments that you're protecting your money." "This theory that I need to be diversified is a joke. It's not, that's not true. Nobody gets rich being diversified." "Bitcoin is the only time machine I can buy.

From selling his first Porsche at age 12 to now managing a billion pound inventory of luxury cars, Tom shares his knowledge on the exclusive world of rare Ferraris, McLaren F1s, and Formula One classics. Tom reveals which supercars are overhyped, which are under appreciated gems and shares insider investment tips. REVEALS: The greatest supercar of all time The holy grail of classic Ferraris Why Formula One cars are significantly undervalued investments Why not all classics are worth the hype That he strongly dislikes electric vehicles, believing they'll only last about 10 years before needing expensive battery replacements, unlike classics that can last centuries. How Ferrari has evolved beyond being just a car company to become a true luxury brand What cars he recommends for investors BEST MOMENTS "I'm not really one who has many regrets because I've always been fortunate enough in life . "Carrera GT is the best sounding car of all time. You talked about a V10 Formula, Formula 1 derived engine, and it sounds phenomenal when you start it up, but it sounds way better when you drive it." "I think Ferrari are so on a different level that they are a luxury brand. They should be more associated with something that's within LVMH. Their rival is more Hermes than maybe Lamborghini." "If somebody gave me a trillion... I would [wake up] tomorrow morning and do exactly the same as what I'm doing today because I'm buying and selling the world's greatest cars.

Richard shares his eight secrets to building a successful business, discusses his current passion for helping medium sized companies scale up and explains why he's investing 200 million of his own money into promising businesses. Richard Harpin REVEALS: How he started HomeServe with 50,000 of life savings How he nearly went bankrupt His key secret, to copy and pivot, finding successful business models and improving upon them He has always been entrepreneurial, starting by breeding rabbits at age 5, becoming "Ricardo the magician" at age 9 and establishing about six businesses before founding HomeServe at age 20 Why Richard is focused on helping the UK's 168,000 medium sized businesses scale up Why the UK lacks support for companies transitioning from startup to large enterprise. Why businesses need revolution at the start, but should focus on constant evolution as they grow BEST MOMENTS "I think the UK is the best place to run a global business, I think it's a great place for entrepreneurs to start a business... The only issue is, as a country, we're not that good at scale ups." "I did [pay a big load of tax when selling the company] and I was happy to pay it because capital gains tax is at a reasonable level. I don't believe in all these entrepreneurs that sell up and move to Jersey or Monaco." "We're taught at school that copying homework is bad, we might get expelled for it. In business, I think copying is good." "Disruption is what you do at the start of your business when you're inventing the model...

Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob interviews Richard Tice, a businessman and Reform UK politician, who delivers a critical and candid assessment of the UK's current challenges. Tice doesn't just criticise though, he offers bold solutions to what he sees as a "confidence crisis" gripping Britain. From slashing wasteful government spending to scrapping inheritance tax and net zero policies, Tice lays out Reform's vision for revitalising the UK economy. Rob and Richard s conversation tackles everything from Labour's catastrophic start to immigration, crime and the cultural values Tice believes are essential to Britain's recovery. Richard Tice REVEALS: That the UK is experiencing a confidence crisis with people getting financially, socially, and culturally poorer The UK is "absolutely salvageable" with the right leadership and hard work Why Labour have had such catastrophic start to power Reform's economic plan, including raising the income tax threshold to 20,000, scrapping inheritance tax, cutting regulations and implementing an approach that prioritises making ordinary people better off The UK needs to abandon net zero policies which he claims are causing uncompetitive energy prices, killing industries and driving up costs for ordinary people Why he proposes a freeze on immigration, arguing the UK should focus on getting the 9 million economically inactive Britons back to work Why he advocates for a broken windows approach to crime; prosecuting every offense no matter how small, ensuring swift consequences and creating parallel private prosecution systems if needed That he believes the UK must proudly defend its Christian heritage and British values, reject concepts like Sharia courts and push back against what he sees as confusing modern ideologies like the concept of multiple genders BEST MOMENTS "I've run businesses and I've seen where a good business can be ruined by a bad boss in a couple of years, but a business that's literally gone into bankruptcy can be turned around by a good boss in two to three years." "If you don't risk anything, you risk everything. Taking risks is a good thing and sometimes things go wrong. It's called life and that's why we have the limited company structure, so we don't lose our home." "In America, you're not really an entrepreneur until you've gone bust at least once. Here, you go bust once, and I mean, you're castigated forever. It's like Hall of shame and you almost never get out of it." "Family. Community. Country. If you and your family are working hard and achieving and becoming better off, then you're contributing to your local community and if all the families in that community are working hard and getting together, your community is becoming better off." "You've got the highest taxes for 70 years, we've got the highest government spending, much of it wasteful, for 70 years. The most regulations for 70 years, the highest national debt for 70 years and the lowest growth decade for 70 years."

Johnny Garrat | Crowdfunding a Luxury Watch Brand
Take the survey now: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1iHRZvOly_Q7aprlQBF7n38y0EjgvnHw2OdYII8yQElc/edit?ts=670d0111 Rob is joined by Johnny Garrett, founder of William Wood Watches, which he created with just 25k and crowdfunding. They talk about the luxury watch market including its dramatic post-COVID crash and the rise of independent watchmakers. Johnny reveals how his grandfather's firefighting legacy was the inspiration behind building a British watch brand that incorporates genuine upcycled firefighter equipment. From celebrity collectors like Kevin O'Leary and President Biden to Johnny's journey from banker to watchmaker, this episode provides a fascinating look into entrepreneurship, watch industry disruption and why traditional luxury brands might be taking advantage of their customers. REVEALS: How William Wood Watches incorporates genuine upcycled firefighter equipment, honouring Johnny's grandfather's 25 year firefighting career. How Johnny started William Wood Watches at just 25 years old while maintaining his banking career The company produces about 3,500 watches annually priced between 1,000- 4,000, with limited editions like the 30-piece "King's Coronation" watch dramatically increasing in value, selling out instantly. The high profile customers that buy William Wood Watches, including President Biden (whose watch was presented in the Oval Office), Kevin O'Leary and Russell Crowe. Why Johnny believes the luxury watch market crashed post-COVID How William Wood is expanding beyond direct-to-consumer sales into B2B government contracts. That watch brands claiming "in house" manufacturing primarily use this as marketing justification for charging premium prices. BEST MOMENTS "I believe if a Richemont Group bought it, Jesus, they could take William Wood Watches into the billions in revenue. Every single country in the world has a fire service. Our vision is to convert fire stations all around the world into our concept stores." "The whole reason we're in business is to be able to produce watches that you can actually wear on a daily basis and appreciate. Now there's so much supply in the marketplace that you are struggling where to be able to make these purchases." "I used to fall for that, I've got loads of limited edition APs, which, you know, they're limited edition, so they're the ones that will go up in value and they haven't gone up in value because they make a new limited edition, a new one, and a new one." "This is the reason why we're seeing such a rise of independent brands. We've seen in the last three years, the amount of customers who now know more or want to educate themselves on other independent sort of lesser well known brands." "I think society is celebrating the wrong businesses. We are feeding a conversation around entrepreneurs who have these big billion dollar companies with huge employees, potentially masses of debt. I think we should be celebrating more the entrepreneurs turning over maybe into the single digit millions."
