Escape The Rat Race Radio

Every two weeks I’ll be bringing you interviews with leading authors, entrepreneurs, personal development coaches and marketing experts to the show as always...but in between you’ll now also get the opportunity to hear from people who may seem a little more within reach of where you are right now…..members of the escape the rat race community who have been attending our events since we launched in 2015, working with myself and our mentors, but most importantly working hard on themselves and picking a lane upon which to focus. I’ll be breaking down their story into three parts: Where They Were Where They Are Now Where They Want To Get To I’ll also be asking them if they can remember the date they set as their ‘Escape The Rat Race Day’- and if you don’t already have a date written down somewhere for yourself, let me challenge you now to do so. State your intention, write it down, and put it in a draw somewhere. You might just surprise yourself when you find it again in a year or two’s time... OK, let’s do this!

The subtitle of this book is ‘How You Already Have What It Takes To Succeed’, and I think that is just so relevant for all of my listeners because it really is true. It comes back to the famous quote from Henry Ford ‘Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t - you’re right’. Successful entrepreneurship is really 80% mindset and 20% skillset. there’s always someone else that has the answer. In today’s conversation, you’re going to hear Ash and Hasan tell you why we all have unfair advantages in life, whether we happen to be really analytical in the way we think, or we have a talent for something that might have been thought really geeky when we were at school - but actually now is our greatest asset. Or it could be that you just naturally have a great feel for people and can build relationships really easily. An unfair advantage is simply the element that gives you an edge over your competition ...and the quicker you can really get clear on that, the quicker you’re going to start seeing success and traction in your business. With Ash’s 20 years of hands-on experience creating and growing startups, combined with Hasan’s own digital marketing agency background and startup investment experience - you should definitely be taking note of what these guys are sharing with you today. This Week’s Freebie Ash & Hasan are giving away 2 signed copies of their brand new book ‘The Unfair Advantage’ and all you need to do if you’d like to be in the draw to win one of those is head on over to www.etrr.online/podcast98 [http://www.etrr.online/podcast98].

Hey welcome to another episode of Escape The Rat Race Radio, my name is Christian Rodwell and this week my guest is Xavier Collins. Xavier shot up the ranks in the gig economy, playing a pivotal role in the national growth of Deliveroo [https://deliveroo.co.uk/] before joining Turo to lead its UK expansion. As General manager for the south of the UK and head of UK market launches for Deliveroo, Xavier built the business from a team of just two, doing less than 100 orders a day, to a team of 20 doing over 10k orders a day - in only two years. He also went on to run Deliveroo’s latest vertical - Deliveroo for Business, signing up major clients such as Facebook, Google and banks like Credit Suisse - playing a significant role in Deliveroo turning into the £2 billion success story it is today. In today’s episode, Xavier talks us through how simple it is to use Turo to begin generating a monthly income from the cars that you own. Without the need to find your own customers, or do any of the marketing - you can simply leverage the platform and begin making money within a matter of days. This is SUCH a great way for you to start creating multiple streams of income and as you’ll be hearing from one of the Turo hosts, Carlo Misceo, the extra income you can generate from Turo every month can either be used to fulfil your desire to travel more, or you could simply use that income to start growing your asset base in other areas. I’m excited for you to hear today’s episode, and if you decide to give Turo a test-drive and start making some money from it - then I’d love to hear from you! Be sure to post an update inside of the Escape the Rat Race Private Facebook Group! OK let’s do this! Let’s head over to today’s conversation with the UK Director for Turo, Xavier Collins.

Hey welcome to another episode of Escape The Rat Race Radio, my name is Christian Rodwell and this week my guest is Ruari Fairbairns. Ruari grew up on the Isle of Mull in Scotland, setting up his first business selling and servicing PCs on the island aged just 16. A career in sales followed, and by the age of 25 he’d setup 5 different enterprises and through the TV program “The Apprentice” he found himself in London as a commodities broker. Ruari quickly established himself as a success and went on to start and grow the European Jet Desk from inception to market leader in under 3 years. In 2015, after a few failed attempts, Ruari decided to take a break from alcohol and it fundamentally changed his life. Together with co-founder Andy Ramage, Ruari decided to create something to change the peer pressure around giving up drinking. In 2016 they launched the ‘One Year No Beer’ online challenge, which has proved more successful than they could have ever imagined. Since inception, OYNB has helped over 70,000 people in 90 countries transform their relationship with alcohol. Headquartered in North Berwick, just outside Edinburgh, As CEO of the business, Ruari is now responsible for a rapidly growing team who are passionate about changing the world, whilst building a business by the beach. In today’s episode, you’ll hear Ruari talk about how his journey to success was far from smooth, making every mistake in the book, over-spending - and that in some ways you have to experience this as part of your learning phase when it comes to gaining real-life business experience. I’m excited for you to hear Rurai’s story of escaping the trading desk to starting one of the largest sober-free movements in the world, so let’s not wait any longer, and let’s head on over to my conversation with Ruari Fairbairns. OK let’s do this!
