Embrace change and challenge the status quo: Former rugby legend Laurence de Lallio transformed his career by venturing into various businesses, charities, and writing after retirement. His success in rugby did not limit his post-career path. Embrace change and challenge the status quo to disrupt and dominate in new areas.
Disruptive entrepreneurs challenge the ordinary and embrace new ways to solve problems, even after a seemingly short career in their previous field. This was evident in the journey of our guest, Laurence de Lallio, a former England rugby legend and World Cup winner. After retiring from rugby in 2008, he transformed his career by venturing into various business ventures, charities, and even writing. His success in rugby did not define his post-career path, and he encourages us to explore beyond the conventional and embrace change. As Rob Moore, the host of the Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, said, "If you don't risk anything, you risk everything." By taking risks and embracing change, we can disrupt and dominate in new areas, just as Laurence has done. So, don't be afraid to challenge the status quo and reinvent yourself, even after a seemingly short career.
A retired rugby player's diverse post-career ventures: A retired rugby player started a call center business, hospitality business, media work, sports marketing, and charity, demonstrating the various opportunities available beyond athletic careers.
The interviewee, after retiring from rugby, pursued various business ventures and remained involved in rugby through media work and ownership in a rugby club. He started a call center business, The Listening Company, which was successful but faced challenges when outsourcing to other countries. He also established a hospitality business, Hospitality Finder, which offers consolidated hospitality spend for clients at top sports events. The interviewee has kept a close alignment to rugby and is involved in the media side through BT Sport and ITV. He also concluded a sports marketing business, BBH Sports, and invests in various businesses and start-ups. Additionally, he set up his own charity, Rugby Works, which helps disadvantaged youth. Throughout his post-rugby career, the interviewee has maintained a diverse portfolio and continued to be involved in the sports industry he loves.
Using Rugby to Make a Positive Impact: Rugby legend [Name] combines his love for the sport with entrepreneurship to help young people overcome challenges and succeed, emphasizing the importance of giving back and addressing social inequality.
Rugby legend turned entrepreneur, [Name], uses his love for the sport to make a positive impact on young people's lives through a charity and business that provides support and opportunities for those in need. He believes that giving back is just as important as chasing personal goals like health, wealth, and happiness. [Name] sees himself as an entrepreneur, driven by a restlessness to make a difference in the world. He emphasizes the importance of addressing the growing divide between those who have and those who don't have, and using rugby as a tool to help young people overcome challenges and succeed. He also highlights the potential for synergy between sport and business, and the importance of shining a spotlight on charitable initiatives that support young people.
Transitioning from Elite Sports to New Ventures: Retired athletes can apply their sports mindset and work ethic to new passions and goals, finding peace and continued success in the process.
Elite sports can be a highly focused and addictive pursuit, driven by the obsession to win and achieve results. This single-minded focus can make it a selfish endeavor, with everything else considered collateral damage. However, upon retirement, athletes face the challenge of finding new passions and goals. For the speaker, this meant exploring opportunities outside of rugby and embracing the excitement and daunting nature of planning their own lives. While the transition has been ongoing, the mindset and work ethic developed through sports have carried over, fueling a desire for continued success and winning in new ventures. Despite the challenges, the speaker looks forward to applying these qualities to new endeavors and finding peace in the process.
Effective communication and shared responsibility in sports and business: Honesty, patience, investing in people, learning from experiences, passion, and uncomfortable conversations lead to success in sports and business.
Effective communication and shared responsibility are key to success in both sports and business. Rob Moore, the speaker, emphasized the importance of honesty, patience, and investing in the people around you. He also highlighted the value of learning from experiences, whether in rugby or business, and the importance of being passionate about what you do. The speaker also recommended Blinkist as a tool for accessing summarized versions of best-selling books to help learn and grow. While the pressure to win is high in both sports and business, the speaker emphasized that it's not about putting the pressure on one person, but rather sharing the ups and downs with your team or colleagues. In the end, the results tend to take care of themselves when you focus on investing in yourself and those around you, and having uncomfortable conversations that address issues rather than attacking people.
Creating a Comfortable Work Environment for Teams and Organizations: Understanding roles, effective leadership, collaboration, unique needs, working with purpose, ethical success, thrive, contribute, common goal.
Creating a comfortable and clearly defined way of working is essential for both sports teams and corporate organizations. Understanding what motivates individuals and building a strong culture of behaviors is crucial for how a team or organization is perceived. The speaker emphasized the importance of everyone knowing their roles and responsibilities, and that effective leadership involves collaboration and understanding the unique needs of the specific environment. The speaker also highlighted the importance of working with purpose and striving for success in a positive and ethical manner. The talent versus hard work debate was acknowledged as a complex issue, and the speaker suggested that both factors play a role in success. Ultimately, the key is to create an environment where individuals can thrive and contribute their unique talents while working together towards a common goal.
The Power of Emotional Connection: Emotional connection with a team or group can lead to unprecedented performance, regardless of talent or resources.
While talent is important in achieving success, it's not the only factor. A strong work ethic, passion, and emotional connection with a team or group can elevate performance to unprecedented levels. The speaker shares his personal experiences in sports, where underdog teams with a powerful emotional connection have outperformed more talented opponents. He emphasizes that everyone has a role in creating this emotional connection and that it's essential in various aspects of life, including business. The speaker also highlights that while the stakes might not be as high in business as they are in sports or the military, the principle remains the same - the power of emotional connection can drive exceptional results.
The power of honesty, clear communication, and belief in personal and team growth: Honesty and clear communication foster stronger teams and personal growth. Belief and unconditional support inspire confidence and collective success.
Honesty and clear communication are crucial for personal and business growth. Having open conversations about areas for improvement and shared ambitions can lead to a stronger team. It's essential to ensure everyone is on the same page and working towards the same goals. Additionally, having a strong belief system and unconditional support from those around us can significantly impact our ability to achieve our objectives. Belief and confidence can inspire others to follow and contribute to collective success. In rugby, a humble sport that requires constant adaptation, self-belief is a vital component of personal and team growth. Ultimately, it's the combination of honesty, clear communication, and a strong belief system that can lead to significant progress and success.
The power of self-belief in leading others and achieving success: Strong self-belief, sensed through body language and performance, is crucial for leading others and achieving success. Defining moments, whether good or bad, can significantly alter one's trajectory and serve as motivation to pursue goals with greater determination.
Having a strong self-belief is crucial for leading others and achieving success. This belief can be sensed intuitively through people's body language and performance. In sports and business, it's difficult to hide emotions, making it easier to read the group's emotional state. Experiencing defining moments in life, whether good or bad, can significantly alter one's trajectory. For instance, losing a loved one at a young age can lead to introspection, personal growth, and finding positive environments to heal and move forward. These moments, though challenging, can be used as motivation to pursue goals with greater determination.
The power of teamwork and collective achievement: The World Cup victory taught the speaker the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and the power of achieving something together as a team, resulting in a profound impact on his life and the nation's pride.
The World Cup victory in rugby was a culmination of years of hard work and collective effort that changed the speaker's life in profound ways. The journey was not easy, with numerous disappointments and setbacks along the way. However, the sense of accomplishment and shared success made it all worthwhile. The speaker emphasizes that the feeling of achieving something as part of a team is more powerful than doing it alone. The World Cup victory was not just a personal triumph but also a source of pride for the entire nation. The speaker continues to cherish the memories and the impact it had on him and those around him. The experience taught him the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and the power of collective achievement.
Mentors Shape Our Lives: Parents and other inspiring figures guide us to become better people and reach our potential through unconditional love, hard work, and guidance.
Mentors play a crucial role in shaping our lives, starting from our parents who bring us into the world, and extending to teachers, coaches, and other inspiring figures we meet along the way. The speaker shared a personal experience of being supported by his parents and witnessing their sacrifices, which motivated him to become a better person and achieve success. He also emphasized the importance of having heroes close to home and working with inspiring coaches. Mentors are not just figures of authority, but individuals who help us grow, learn, and reach our potential. Whether it's through unconditional love, hard work, or guidance, their impact is lasting and significant.
Effective leadership and collaboration in sports: Understand role, set high standards, motivate team, make decisions, show emotional intelligence, know team members, push potential, avoid overpushing, inspire team
Effective collaboration and leadership go hand in hand. Working with the best people involves challenging each other and maintaining a healthy balance between guidance and autonomy. A great rugby captain or leader is someone who understands their role, sets high standards, and knows how to motivate their team. Effective leadership requires decision-making abilities, emotional intelligence, and an understanding of individual team members' needs. While it's essential to push people to reach their potential, it's equally important to avoid pushing too far. Ultimately, being a great captain or leader means inspiring your team to give their best on and off the field.
The importance of communication, positivity, and pushing boundaries: Communicate kindly and directly, maintain a positive attitude, and challenge yourself to achieve the extraordinary.
Communication and positivity are key in achieving success, both personally and professionally. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being kind and direct when addressing issues, while also maintaining a positive and enjoyable attitude. He also values pushing boundaries and challenging oneself to achieve the extraordinary. The speaker shared an anecdote about his encounter with the rugby player Jonah Lomu, who was a phenomenon for his size and speed, and expressed that Dan Carter is one of the best-looking men in rugby. However, the speaker also acknowledged that his position in the game did not allow him to appreciate the looks of other players due to the physical nature of the sport. Overall, the speaker's message is about the importance of being direct, positive, and pushing oneself to achieve great things.
Footballers vs Rugby Players: Unique Challenges and Earnings: Societal obsession and reporting contribute to earning disparities between footballers and rugby players. Rugby's drinking culture has evolved, with players prioritizing fitness and responsible drinking.
Despite the perceived differences between footballers and rugby players, both groups have their unique aspects and challenges. Regarding the earning disparities, the speaker believes it's a result of societal obsession and reporting rather than a genuine issue. As for the rugby drinking culture, it was once a tradition but has evolved, with players now adopting a more balanced approach. The speaker encourages drinking only after victories and maintaining fitness as a priority. Ultimately, the focus should be on personal responsibility and self-care.
Understanding moderation and potential dangers: Consume alcohol in moderation, be mindful of limits, and be aware of potential negative consequences like violence or emotional outbursts.
Everything in life, including alcohol, should be consumed in moderation. The speaker shared his personal experience of quitting drinking due to its negative impact on his work, but also acknowledged that alcohol can be enjoyable. He emphasized the importance of understanding one's limits and being mindful of potential dangers, such as getting violent or emotional after drinking. The speaker also shared an extravagant purchase he made for his children at a charity event and emphasized the importance of believing in the possibility of achieving one's goals. He didn't recall any particularly bad advice he had received. Overall, the conversation touched on the themes of moderation, self-awareness, and positivity.
Surrounding Ourselves with Positivity and Overcoming Challenges: Embrace setbacks as opportunities for growth, surround yourself with positivity, and stay resilient to overcome challenges.
While we may encounter bad advice or negative comments from others, they can often serve as motivation and opportunities for growth. As the speaker shared, there are radiators and drains in life, and it's essential to surround ourselves with those who radiate positive energy. We've all faced setbacks and challenges, but these experiences can help us rebuild and come back stronger. The speaker, who has faced numerous obstacles, emphasized the importance of staying positive and not harboring anger. When asked who they would like to interview, the speaker chose Ray Winston, appreciating his interesting backstory and the fun and laughter he brings to his craft. Overall, the conversation highlighted the importance of resilience, positivity, and the power of motivation in overcoming challenges.
Challenging conventional thinking and living a balanced life: Setting one goal each day and focusing on it, practicing self-care, and challenging the status quo can lead to a fulfilling life. Supporting charities and raising awareness for important causes can also bring joy and meaning.
According to Laurence de L'Aure, it's important to challenge conventional thinking and live a balanced life as you age. He believes that setting one goal each day and focusing on it can lead to a fulfilling life. He also emphasizes the importance of self-care and relaxation. Disruptive, for him, means challenging the status quo and thinking differently. Regarding his autobiography, "In the Blood," he wrote it with honesty and frankness, and it's not just about his rugby career but also about various issues. He's passionate about his charity, RugbyWorks, which helps disadvantaged young kids, and he raises around £2,000,000 a year for it. He also does an annual bike ride, the DiLagio Cycle Slam, to support the charity.
Join Cycle for Survival and climb a mountain for a great cause: Sign up for Cycle for Survival's mountain climbing event, raise funds for young people, and enjoy camaraderie with like-minded individuals.
Cycle for Survival is an organization that raises over £1,000,000 for young people through unique events, such as climbing mountains. They have two stages left with around 15-20 spots available for like-minded individuals who enjoy challenges and camaraderie. You can learn more about this opportunity on their website, Cyclelcycleslam.com, or through D'Elario rugby. This is a great cause and a fun experience, and I encourage those interested to join. The event is still early in registration, so there is plenty of time to sign up and prepare for the adventure. I appreciate the opportunity to share this information and wish you all the best in your participation.

How I Became a Millionaire | Rob is Interviewed on Minted Minds
In this episode, Rob is a guest on the Minted Minds show.

Rob REVEALS:

- His thoughts on the current fascination with mental health

BEST MOMENTS
"Live within your means. Never spend more than you earn. If for 30 years you never spend more than you earn and you invest a difference you will become a millionaire even if you earn 30 grand a year."
"Money runs nothing. Money is a universal exchange of value. What runs the world is powerful people."
"No one is self-made and everyone needs a team."
"You are not supposed to feel good all the time. If you were getting attacked, would feeling good be useful to you? No. The more of a threat you have from your environment, the worse you should feel. Cause it motivates you to do something."
The only purpose for you, not for the banks, for you, for saving is to build up enough to invest. So it's like building a discipline and a habit. So as soon as you can get enough to put into an ISA or to put into silver or to put into gold or put in a real estate, you do it. So you get rich investing, not saving."

Cash is STILL King! How Simon Arora Changed Discount Shopping in Britain
Rob Moore talks with Simon Arora, the entrepreneurial mastermind behind B&M's UK growth. From where it all started, to building a multi-billion-pound retail empire, Simon shares his knowledge and experience on business strategy, family dynamics, and personal growth. This episode is a must-listen for aspiring entrepreneurs, offering a rare glimpse into the mind of a retail disruptor who transformed the UK discount sector.
Simon Arora REVEALS:

- The importance of maintaining a "paranoid" mindset in business
- The key to work-life balance
- Why cash is king
- Why CEOs have to trust employees more
- The challenges of international expansion
- What he learnt from his failures
- The role of luck in anyone’s success
BEST MOMENTS
"Turnover is vanity, profit is sanity. Cash is reality."
"My character flaw is that every transaction or opportunity didn't go right... is seared in the mind 10 times more vividly than the successes."
"I like to think that I respected my colleagues' work-life balance. I was never a believer in people having to work long hours... I'd rather you just get the work done in the 40-hour week, but just be really productive."
"The higher the monkey climbs a tree, the more you see of its backside."
"We did a series of transactions in the three, four years after 2008, the each time step changed the size of our business. And we double down in that period of good fortune where all these opportunities were coming at us rather than taking our foot off the gas."
"As we grew B&M, we decided that we were going to spend none of our turnover on advertising. We built a business from 20 shops to five billion of revenue with no advertising budget."
"I personally negotiated something like 17 million square feet of UK retail selling space. 750 large stores at the risk of sounding immodest. No individuals ever done that in UK retail."
"The entrepreneurs that really make a difference and create great organszations are the ones that optimise their success. That periods of good look, they double down, they take full advantage of it rather than thinking, well, this is fine."

"I want to help as many people on this planet get better financial education and knowledge. What's driving it is I think the world is in a really lost, confused place. I think humanity is at a crossroads in our evolution whereby if we're not careful we're going to die out very quickly."
"Motivation, I believe, is short term, short bursts of enthusiasm. It's not deep and meaningful work it's not discipline and focus. So, there's motivation, and then there's inspiration."
"Money is a tool, money has duality of purpose.”
"I think that mainstream media became too powerful so there's a revolution against mainstream media, which is social media. But then of course what happens is mainstream media buys up social media and then social media becomes mainstream media."
“It was one of the worst podcasts I've seen. Because it was obvious he was pressing for engagement."

The Truth on Money, Success & Mindset with Quest Nutrition's Tom Bilyeu

From discussing the pitfalls of printing money to the importance of understanding one's values, Rob and Tom have an in depth conversation about all things entrepreneurship, mindset and reveal how you can gain control over your life and business.
Tom Bilyeu REVEALS:
- The true power of money
- The importance of self-esteem
- How you can become anything you want
- The downfalls of empathy
- Why printing money is a form of theft
- His philosophy on hiring people with a criminal record
- His top sales advice on branding
- The value of engaged followers over sheer numbers
BEST MOMENTS
“Printing money is theft.”
“Money is more powerful than people think, but it isn't what they think. So what people think it's going to do is make them feel about themselves the way they feel about other people and it does not do that.”
“The unexamined life is truly not worth living and I really encourage people to come to understand their own motivations and quite frankly, to formulate a theory about how the world actually works.”
“Once you understand that you can become anything you want, but not everything, how you spend your time becomes a spiritual consideration.”
“Your life is an exact reflection of your choices”
You're not born with a passion. You don't discover a passion. You create a passion.

Matt Le Tissier | From Football Hero to Conspiracy Theorist
Rob interviews football legend Matt Le Tissier. Matt discusses his controversial departure from Sky Sports, his views on lockdowns, and the changing landscape of football. From questioning media narratives to advocating for free speech, Matt talks to Rob openly and honestly about his thoughts on society and culture and his experiences during and after his football career.
Matt Le Tissier REVEALS:
- Why he lost his job at Sky Sports
- His criticisms of the reporting of covid and lockdowns by British media
- Why he ignored lockdown rules
- The increased pressures on modern footballers
- How to remain open minded
- Why he retired from playing football
- What makes someone a disruptor
BEST MOMENTS
"I think for the last six months of working at Sky, I felt a bit uncomfortable working there, frankly, given what the news channel was pumping out the whole time, with the propaganda."
"I ignored lockdown rules. I saw my family because I saw the rules. The government ignored lockdown rules, didn't they?"
"I think had Labour been in it, it would have probably been even longer lockdowns, quite frankly, from what I've seen."
"Shit happens. Just get on with it."
"I'm not arrogant enough to think that everything I say is, is true. It's what I believe. Is happening at the moment but if somebody could point me to some evidence that I'm wrong and I will actually look at that evidence."
