Is university a scam? Rob talks about why he thinks university is at best outdated and at worst a scam in this episode. He shares why many people would be far better off not going to university at all, the alternatives to further education and the potential ulterior motives the government have for wanting as many people as possible to get a degree.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The average student leaves with 45k in debt, to earn 30k when they leave.
• Students are sold a future that isn’t the reality. Most students will leave university with huge debt and in some cases a worse salary than if they hadn’t gone.
• You can’t get the education you need at university about newer technology and online spaces such as AI and content creation.
• There is still a need for universities for more practical courses, such as medicine.
• Going to university is good for the system, it means you are in debt, pay them interest and pay them taxes. You don’t then have the freedom to create your own business.
• Think about the ulterior motive for universities and colleges, especially when you consider education for things like medicine should be free as they serve the public.
• It's not just a cost to students to attend university but frequently their family and parents too.

BEST MOMENTS

"In creative arts, people earn more than if they didn’t go to uni”

“No ones really done it long enough for the information to trickle down to university, if you do marketing they don’t really touch on social media at all”

“There’s nothing in podcasting at university at all”

“The system wants you for debt, interest and taxes”

“It can take 30 years to repay a student loan”

“Why should we have to get in debt for the rest of our lives to be a doctor?”

"It benefits them for you to be in more debt"

In this candid and revealing episode, Rob talks about the complex world of relationships as an entrepreneur. From marriage and parenting to business partnerships and employee dynamics, Rob shares his experiences from his 18 years of balancing business success with personal relationships. He discusses the delicate dance between ambition and family life, giving his perspectives on how to maintain healthy relationships whilst being an entrepreneur.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

· The ideal entrepreneurial relationship often thrives when partners have opposing traits but aligned visions. For example in Rob’s case, his ambition and risk-taking are balanced by the Mark’s stability and groundedness.

· Children of successful entrepreneurs need challenge, not coddling. By teaching them to earn rather than giving handouts it can prevent entitled behaviour and prepares them for the real world.

· In employee relationships, no one truly works "for you" they work for themselves. Leaders should expect more from employees than they expect from themselves to drive growth.

· The key to maintaining relationships as an entrepreneur is understanding that you can have anything but not everything - choose partners who appreciate ambition but provide balance.

· Managing personal relationships with wealth requires thick skin, people will feel entitled to your money and criticise your success, but that's part of the territory.

BEST MOMENTS

"If you have a hole in your soul, no human alive can make you happy. You can have the best looking, funniest, most supportive, charming partner, they cannot fill a void in your own soul."

"Wisdom is knowing the difference between what you think you want and what is good for you. Usually the things that don't like and trigger you and are painful for you are good for you."

"I don't believe my staff work for me. I believe my staff work for themselves... if they were working for me, they would work and then they'd give me the money."

"Your children will teach you as much as you teach them."

Rob talks about his recent viral LinkedIn post about the seven unconventional habits that contributed to his millions! From afternoon naps to controversial takes on micromanagement, Rob challenges popular business advice with practical, tested strategies. His honest approach tackles everything from coffee consumption to emotional expression in business, offering unique ideas that go against typical LinkedIn ‘guru’ advice.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

· Strategic micromanagement can be a powerful tool when applied correctly - it's not toxic when used to help struggling team members or oversee crucial projects

· Afternoon power naps (8-20 minutes) can add 3-4 productive hours to your day, especially valuable for early risers!

· Voice memos combined with AI transcription can dramatically increase productivity by capturing ideas in real time and maintaining your authentic voice

· Walking instead of running provides better longevity benefits while allowing for multitasking through voice memos and calls

· Quality over quantity in clothing choices reduces decision fatigue and increases confidence, focusing on high-quality pieces rather than designer labels

· Controlled emotional expression, particularly showing when you're genuinely upset about important matters, can earn respect and maintain authenticity

BEST MOMENTS

"I don't micromanage anyone who's good. But I micromanage the fuck out of people who are apathetic, disengaged, failing, or trying but failing."

"If you've got the choice between pissing someone else off or pissing yourself off, you should choose them every time."

"I want to live till I'm a hundred and five and die making love to a 25-year-old nurse... my wife is straight up said I'm not wiping your arse and I'm not looking after you when you get old."

"One of the ways I got broke was buying things I couldn't afford to impress people I didn't even know."
