Adam Lamb started with nothing. He went on to become Tony Robbins' business partner in the health space and built a seven figure health optimisation company from scratch. Then he met his wife. Built a business. Had kids. Worked with Tony Robbins. Hit every milestone a successful man is supposed to hit. And somewhere in the middle of all of it he realised the biggest threat to everything he'd built wasn't competition, market shifts or money. It was the slow, quiet distance that creeps into a marriage when two ambitious people stop paying attention to each other. In this episode Adam gets brutally honest about the blind spot he sees in nearly every high achieving man he coaches. He also talks about what he does differently in his marriage and why he believes your wife should be the most important human in your life. This one is for the men who are building something great and don't want to lose everything that actually matters in the process.

We Built Businesses To Live Like This In this episode of The Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast, I sit down with Emma Mills, founder of one of the UK's leading Virtual PA businesses, to unpack why so many business owners become trapped inside the businesses they worked so hard to build. ...and there couldn't have been a more fitting place to have this conversation. Emma flew out to join me in the South of France, where we recorded overlooking the French Riviera, with a château in front of us, the Mediterranean behind us and mountains stretching across the horizon. Because this is proof of the philosophy we both believe in: Build a business that supports your life.... not a life that's controlled by your business. Emma has spent the last 16 years helping entrepreneurs buy back their time by hiring exceptional Executive Assistants, allowing founders to focus on the work only they can do... and more importantly, the parts of business they actually enjoy. In this episode we cover: • Why entrepreneurs become the biggest bottleneck in their own business • The hidden cost of trying to do everything yourself • When you should hire your first Executive Assistant • How delegation increases growth • Building a business that creates freedom 📲 Follow Emma: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/emmamipa/ 📲 Follow Freddie: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freddiepullen_/ 🤝 This episode is proudly sponsored by Pith & Stem. 📲 Follow Pith & Stem: https://www.instagram.com/pithandstem/ 📩 Build Trust.

Welcome to The Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast with Freddie Pullen. Today I'm sitting down with Alfie Robertson, founder of Amplify and Roll, and one of the fastest growing personal brands in the world. In September 2023, Alfie had zero followers. He was living in Bondi, partying on weekends, working in consulting, and watching his flatmate build a following... Then he made a decision. 75 days. No alcohol. Post every single day. 100 days later, he had 100,000 followers. Today he runs a team of 40, has coached over 16,000 people and is building Roll, a SaaS platform that turns your camera roll into viral content in seconds. In this episode we get into the story behind the growth, the identity shifts, the fear of being judged and the EXACT framework he uses to go from skill to 7 figures. Key discussion points: 1. The 4 step roadmap: acquire the skill, teach, productise, then tech 2. Why you don't need to be an expert to start posting content 3. The cost of skipping the hard work first 4. How to kill the fear of posting including a pen & paper exercise 5. Competence vs connection content & why smart people get this wrong 6. The 6 F's of an awesome personal brand 7.
