Kaspar Basse founded Joe & The Juice in Copenhagen in 2002 with a few thousand dollars and an ambition that was anything but small: he wanted to build something that could compete with Starbucks.
Two decades later, Joe & The Juice has grown into a global brand with over 500 locations and was valued at $1.8 billion in 2026.
But Kaspar believes one of the biggest mistakes companies make happens precisely when they become successful.
As businesses grow, they introduce managers, processes, controls and layers of approval to protect what they have built.
And in doing so, they can gradually remove the very thing that made them successful in the first place: culture, and quality.
Kaspar does not believe great company culture comes from music, office perks, parties or paying slightly more than your competitors.
It comes from people feeling agency, challenged, trusted, capable of improving and proud of what they do.
In this episode, you will learn:
• The real Joe & The Juice story like never shared before
• Why Kaspar believes entrepreneurs should be naively ambitious about their vision but brutally realistic about their finances
• The “Don't Blame The Weather” philosophy he used to build a culture of responsibility instead of excuses
• Why too much management and control can make great employees stop thinking like owners
• Why “hire the best people” is an incomplete strategy, and how businesses can develop ordinary people into exceptional performers
• What more than 20 years of entrepreneurship taught him about money, private equity, impatience, ambition and knowing when to step away
Kaspar also speaks unusually openly about money.
He admits that financial success has always mattered to him. Even today he is not sure he would ever know how much money is enough for him.
Yet his perspective on success has also changed.
After decades of building, he says there is something strangely liberating about recognising that most of the things we obsess over do not matter nearly as much as we think.
A great family. Great friends. Good health. And, in Kaspar's words, a wonderful restaurant in which to have a martini.
This episode will teach you many things, including; how to take responsibility for what you can control, become resourceful enough to find a way forward, and stop wasting your life blaming the weather.

Professor Giles Yeo MBE has spent 30 years studying one of the most misunderstood questions in health: why some people feel hungrier, gain weight more easily and find it much harder to keep weight off than others.
He is Professor of Molecular Neuroendocrinology at the University of Cambridge, where his research focuses on how our genes, hormones and brain control appetite and body weight. In 2026, he was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences for his internationally recognised work on the genetics and neuroscience of obesity.
And one of his central messages challenges the way many of us think about weight.
Two people can be faced with exactly the same food, but experience very different levels of hunger, fullness and reward. Your biology does not remove personal responsibility, but it can dramatically change how difficult the same decision feels.
In this episode, you will learn:
• Why your brain actively fights weight loss, increasing hunger and changing your metabolism when you lose weight
• Why two people can eat the same food but experience completely different levels of appetite and food noise
• What calories fail to tell you about food, and why protein, fibre and ultra-processed foods affect your body differently
• How Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs actually work, why weight often returns after stopping them, and the risks people need to understand
• Giles's simple 16:30:5 framework for eating enough protein and fibre to lose weight while reducing free sugar without obsessing over individual meals
Giles also speaks personally about his son's experience with obesity and GLP-1 medication, and admits that even after spending his career studying obesity, he still had to fight the human instinct to blame.

Jay Sean is one of the most successful and influential artists in modern pop music.
His global hit “Down”, featuring Lil Wayne, reached No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making him the first South Asian solo artist to top the chart. In 2026, the record was certified Diamond in the United States after surpassing 10 million units, making Jay the first South Asian artist to ever receive an RIAA Diamond certification.
But his journey began with a decision almost everyone around him thought was crazy.
Jay was studying medicine when he walked away from a safe career in front of him to pursue music.
Then, after finally becoming successful, he walked away again.
His record label wanted him to become an artist he did not recognise. Jay chose to leave, invested his own money into his music and expected another label to come calling.
Nobody did.
He remembers sitting alone in his car, crying, convinced he had ruined his career.
What happened next changed his life.
In this episode, Jay explains:
Why he left medicine for an uncertain career in music, and how to know when to trust your own instinct over everyone else’s opinion
Why he walked away from a major record deal at the height of his early success, and what his lowest moment taught him about life
How he rebuilt independently, eventually signed in America and created the song that would take him to No.1
Why fame, money and social media comparison can distort your definition of success, and how he now protects his peace
What being bullied for his weight, decades of body image pressure and becoming a father taught him about health, happiness and what actually matters
Jay also speaks with remarkable honesty about fame.
He explains why making one of the biggest songs in the world could have become a psychological trap if every future achievement had to measure up to it, and why he eventually learned to stop chasing other people’s lives and focus on becoming a better version of himself.
And towards the end of the conversation, the definition of success changes completely.
Jay says that being a father is his favourite role, and that when his children look back, he would rather they remember that their dad was there than remember him as a great pop star.
This is not simply a conversation about becoming successful.
It is about having the courage to walk away when success no longer feels aligned with you.

Touker Suleyman is one of Britain’s best known entrepreneurs and investors, with more than 50 years of experience building, buying and transforming businesses.
But long before millions knew him from Dragons’ Den, Touker lost everything.
In his twenties, he was already chairman of two public companies, driving an Aston Martin and enjoying extraordinary early financial success.
Then one disastrous investment triggered a domino effect.
His businesses collapsed.
He lost his home.
And he had to start again.
In this conversation, Touker explains:
Why early success can be dangerous, and the mistake that taught him the importance of due diligence
How he rebuilt after losing everything and eventually created businesses employing thousands of people
How he bought Hawes & Curtis for just £1, took on its debts and rebuilt the brand to be worth millions
The negotiation principles he has used across more than 50 years in business
Why entrepreneurs often ask for investment when what they actually need is better cash flow
Why you do not need a completely original idea to build a successful company
Touker also explains why, after 10 years, he has decided to leave Dragons’ Den and what he wants the next chapter of his life to look like.
At 73, he is still launching companies, still chasing new challenges and still asking himself how far an idea can go.
His definition of success has changed too.
It is not simply about money.
It is about freedom, reputation, purpose, happiness and leaving something behind.
And after everything he has experienced, his advice remains remarkably simple:
Be honest. Work hard. Never give up.

Rose Ferguson is one of the UK’s leading functional medicine practitioners and has spent nearly two decades helping people understand why they can be doing everything they think is “healthy” and still feel tired, bloated, foggy or stressed.
Her message is surprisingly reassuring:
Health does not need to become another full time job.
In a world of supplements, glucose monitors, extreme fasting, restrictive diets, protein targets and endless wellness hacks, Rose believes many of us have forgotten the foundations that actually determine how we feel.
She explains:
Why chronic stress can affect your energy, digestion, sleep and inflammation, and the simple ways she reduces it
Why she recommends starting with a 12 hour overnight eating break rather than jumping into extreme fasting
How to build meals around protein, fibre and healthy fats without obsessively counting everything
What she really thinks about sugar, fruit, alcohol, keto, supplements and protein powders
The simple daily habits she uses for better energy, including daylight, movement, breathwork, journaling and short walks
Rose also challenges the idea that getting older automatically means feeling worse.
After a career in modelling and years spent working with patients, she says that at 51 she feels better than she ever has.
Her final lesson is simple:
You do not need to transform your entire life overnight.
Small things make big changes.

Simon Alexander Ong is a globally recognised personal development coach, international speaker and bestselling author who helps people rethink success, protect their energy and build lives that actually feel worth living.
But before speaking on the biggest stages around the world, Simon spent years working in finance, following the version of success he thought he was supposed to want.
Good university.
Good career.
Good salary.
Yet he would sit at work dreaming about escaping his own life.
Eventually, he realised that success on paper means very little if you feel disconnected from the person living it.
In this episode, Simon explains:
How to recognise when discomfort has become genuine misalignment, and what to do next
His SIN framework for changing your future through Skills, Inputs and Network
How to stop letting fear, other people’s opinions and even your family determine your decisions
The four forms of energy you need to protect: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
Why your partner, friendships and environment can dramatically influence the person you become
But this conversation becomes much deeper.
Simon lost his mother unexpectedly when he was only 17.
Her death changed the way he understood time and left him with two words that have shaped his life ever since:
Don’t wait.
Don’t wait until you feel ready.
Don’t wait for somebody else’s permission.
And don’t spend your life becoming successful according to somebody else’s definition.
Because, as Simon explains, ready is not a feeling.
It is a decision.

Dr Aseem Malhotra is a world-leading consultant cardiologist, practicing doctor and one of the most outspoken voices challenging conventional thinking around heart disease, nutrition and modern medicine.
After 25 years in medicine and treating thousands of patients, Aseem reveals why you can look incredibly fit and still have serious heart disease, why chronic stress may be far more dangerous than most of us realise, and why more exercise is not always better for your health.
His connection to the heart is also deeply personal. When Aseem was 11, his 13 year old brother died suddenly from viral myocarditis, an experience that helped shape his decision to dedicate his career to understanding heart disease.
He explains:
Why chronic stress could be one of the biggest overlooked threats to your heart
Why having a six pack does not necessarily mean you are healthy
How much exercise he believes we actually need, and when it can become too much
What he recommends eating for better heart and metabolic health
Why he challenges conventional thinking around cholesterol, statins and blood pressure medication
But this conversation goes far beyond cardiology.
Aseem opens up about grief, losing the people closest to him, living with enormous professional pressure, loneliness, relationships and the personal cost of dedicating his life to a mission bigger than himself.
And after decades spent thinking about human health, his conclusion is surprisingly simple:
Our health is not only determined by what we eat or how much we exercise.
It is also shaped by stress, meaning, connection, curiosity and the people we love.

Insulin Expert Dr David Unwin has helped 159 patients achieve drug free Type 2 diabetes remission in his NHS practice. He reveals why everyday foods like bread, rice, potatoes and even fruit can spike your blood sugar, why you may be hungry again shortly after eating, and the warning signs that could mean you are becoming insulin resistant.
Dr David Unwin is an NHS GP who has cared for the same community for almost 40 years. He has published around 30 peer reviewed papers, and his famous teaspoon of sugar equivalents have been translated into 39 languages. But remarkably, David says much of what transformed his approach to health only became clear to him at 55, after he developed Type 2 diabetes himself.
He explains:
Why you could be eating sugar all day without realising it
The everyday signs that may suggest you are becoming insulin resistant
Why bread, rice, potatoes, fruit and other foods can affect your blood sugar more than you think
Why you are still hungry after eating, and how insulin can make losing belly fat harder
What actually works for improving metabolic health, including low carbohydrate eating, fasting, exercise and continuous glucose monitoring
And in an unexpectedly personal part of the conversation, David opens up about losing his first wife, reaching some of the darkest moments of his own life, and the lessons about love, failure, hope and resilience that ultimately helped him survive.
This is not simply a conversation about diabetes.
It is about understanding what is happening inside your body before it becomes a problem, and learning how small changes today could completely alter your future health.

Akash Mehta is the cofounder and CEO of Fable & Mane, one of the most recognisable Ayurvedic haircare brands in global beauty. The self funded company launched globally with Sephora, became a number one hair oil at the retailer and helped bring traditional Indian hair rituals into mainstream beauty.
But behind the success is a much more complicated story.
Growing up, Akash struggled deeply with his skin colour. At around 12 or 13, he bought pills online hoping they would make his skin lighter. Later, after building his identity around achievement, he got into Imperial College and failed his second year.
For the first time, Akash had to question whether the life that looked impressive from the outside was actually the life he wanted.
Through failure, therapy, entrepreneurship and years of self reflection, he began unlearning the need for other people’s approval and discovering what genuinely mattered to him.
In this episode, you will learn:
Why other people’s opinions can quietly control your life
How to stop people pleasing and trust yourself
Why failure can reveal what you actually want
How to deal with overthinking, confidence and ego
Why external success does not guarantee happiness
How Fable & Mane went from a three page deck to Sephora
And how reconnecting with his younger self led Akash towards a much deeper purpose
Today, Akash dedicates a significant part of his life to wildlife conservation through the Fabled Fund, with the ambition of mobilising $100 million for conservation by 2030.
This is a conversation about identity, ambition, confidence and the difficult process of discovering who you are when you finally stop living for everyone else.

Darryl Williams, better known as BullyJuice, is a fitness creator and entrepreneur with over 16 million followers across social media. Before building one of the biggest audiences in online fitness, he was a collegiate track athlete, served in the United States Air Force and became a physical training leader responsible for helping people get back into shape and meet military fitness standards.
Most of us know we should exercise, eat better and take care of our bodies. The difficult part is actually starting, staying consistent when motivation disappears and turning healthy decisions into a lifestyle. In this episode, BullyJuice explains why discipline matters more than motivation, how to build a fitness routine you can actually sustain and why transforming your body alone will never make you feel complete.
You will learn:
• Why relying on motivation is one of the biggest reasons people quit
• How finding a deeper reason to exercise can keep you consistent for life
• How to turn exercise into a habit instead of something you constantly restart
• The best way to start training when you have no idea what to do
• How to build muscle while also losing body fat
• Why three workouts per week can still produce results
• How sleep and recovery affect your progress
• What to eat if you want to lose fat or build muscle
• Why looking fit does not necessarily mean you are healthy
• How to approach protein, creatine and other supplements
• Why discipline means doing what needs to be done even when you do not feel like doing it
• How fitness can improve your confidence, work, relationships and the rest of your life
BullyJuice also opens up about losing his biological father at seven, struggling with anger, learning discipline through sport and the military, building an audience of millions and becoming the husband and father he wanted to be. He explains why his definition of success is no longer simply about achievement, money or how your body looks, but about continually becoming a better version of yourself.
His philosophy is simple: take care of your body, strengthen your mind and feed your spirit.
Because becoming your best self requires all three.

Professor Sonia Livingstone is one of the world’s leading experts on how technology is changing our lives. A technology social psychologist at the London School of Economics and Political Science, she has spent decades researching social media, digital wellbeing and online safety, while advising governments and international organisations around the world.
Technology was supposed to make our lives easier. But has it also made us less in control?
In this episode, Professor Livingstone explains why the biggest technology companies are fighting for our attention, how social media can learn and exploit our vulnerabilities, why screen time alone is the wrong way to think about digital wellbeing, and how artificial intelligence could take the attention economy to an entirely new level.
She also explains why children are struggling to put their phones down, what parents are getting wrong about screen time, how our own phone habits influence our children, and why simply taking technology away may create more problems than it solves.
You will learn:
• Why agency may be one of the most important factors in our mental wellbeing
• How social media platforms are designed to keep us scrolling
• Why five hours on a screen does not always have the same effect
• How personalised algorithms can push vulnerable people towards increasingly extreme content
• Why children may feel they have nowhere else to go when we take their phones away
• The biggest mistakes parents make when managing technology at home
• Why children are constantly watching how their parents use their phones
• How to create a healthier relationship with technology without removing it completely
• Why AI companions could become particularly dangerous for lonely and vulnerable people
• How to use AI without allowing it to replace human judgement and real relationships
• Why governments are struggling to regulate technology quickly enough
• The simple changes we can make today to take back control of our attention
Professor Livingstone’s message is ultimately simple: technology should be a tool that helps us live the life we choose.
It should not choose that life for us.

Most people believe they should have figured their life out by 30.
Simon Woodroffe says he was lost, nearly out of money and 47 when he opened YO! Sushi. He explains why boldness matters more than following the perfect plan, and why some of the greatest opportunities appear when you ignore how an industry tells you things should be done.
Simon Woodroffe is an entrepreneur, the founder of YO! Sushi and YOTEL, one of the original Dragons on BBC’s Dragons’ Den, and the author of Yo! Man. YO! Sushi grew from one unconventional Soho restaurant into an international brand, while YOTEL expanded from a small airport hotel prototype into a global hospitality business.
He explains:
Why starting YO! Sushi at 47 proves that you are never too late to build something significant
How he opened a £1 million restaurant with only a fraction of the money he needed and had queues within one week
Why being bold, different and occasionally outrageous can become your greatest competitive advantage
Why founders must eventually give up control and trust other people if they want the business to scale
Why he believes businesses should be built with an eventual sale in mind
How childhood loneliness, prison at 17, imposter syndrome and an “I’ll show them” mentality fuelled his success

Most people blame their phone for destroying their attention. Nir Eyal says the phone is often only the outlet, that 90% of distraction begins with something happening inside us, and that the real solution is not deleting every app but learning to manage discomfort, plan our time and challenge the beliefs keeping us stuck.
Nir Eyal is a behavioural design expert, former lecturer at Stanford Graduate School of Business and Stanford’s Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, and the author of Hooked, Indistractable and Beyond Belief.
He first revealed the psychology companies use to create habit-forming products, before developing a practical system to help people reclaim their attention and follow through on what they intend to do.
He explains:
Why your phone is probably not the real reason you cannot focus
Why boredom, anxiety, loneliness, fatigue and uncertainty drive most distraction
The four-step system for taking back control of your attention
Why traditional to-do lists can make you feel busy, unsuccessful and incapable of managing your time
Why emails and other work-related tasks can become distractions disguised as productivity
How the beliefs and labels you repeat can change what you see, how you behave and what you believe you are capable of achieving

Food is supposed to nourish us. So why has eating become a source of guilt, anxiety, confusion and control?
Emily English is one of the world’s leading nutritionists, a bestselling author, entrepreneur and one of the most influential voices in modern healthy eating.
Known to millions as Em The Nutritionist, she has built a global community by making healthy food feel simple, joyful and realistic. She is also the founder of Epitome, a science-led gut health brand, and the author of So Good, Live to Eat and her latest book created for people who want nutritious food without spending hours in the kitchen.
But Emily’s mission began with her own painful relationship with food. After being scouted as a model at 17, one comment about her body led her into a cycle of restriction, obsessive exercise and fear around eating.
She explains:
️ Why diets work temporarily but almost always fail in the long term
️ Why some people cannot stop thinking about food
️ How childhood experiences silently shape the way you eat as an adult
️ Why trying to look healthy can make you physically and mentally unhealthy
️ The nutrition trends and online advice she believes people should stop following
️ Why healthy people may not need continuous glucose monitors
️ How stress, anxiety and the speed at which you eat can affect your gut
️ Why some people feel bloated after eating foods that are supposed to be healthy
️ The truth about carbohydrates, sugar, fruit, ultra-processed food and blood glucose spikes
️ Why intuitive eating does not work for everyone
️ How to enjoy pizza, pasta, chocolate and restaurants without guilt
️ What your gut microbiome has to do with your skin, brain, hormones and immune system
️ Why people pleasing contributed to Emily’s eating disorder and later business burnout
️ How she recovered after a business failure, betrayal and mental breakdown
️ What it really takes to create nutrition habits that last for life

Depression is not always sadness.
Feeling numb, disconnected and trapped inside your own mind is the warning sign.
Dr Rosalind Watts is one of the world’s leading clinical psychologists and researchers in psychedelic therapy, depression and human connectedness. At Imperial College London, she worked on one of the pioneering clinical trials investigating psilocybin, the active compound in magic mushrooms, as a treatment for people living with treatment-resistant depression.
She is the creator of the Connectedness Scale, now used in psychedelic research around the world, and the founder of ACER, a therapeutic community designed to help people turn temporary psychological breakthroughs into lasting change.
She explains:
️ Why depression often feels like numbness rather than sadness
️ How modern life, loneliness and excessive screen time are disconnecting us from ourselves and each other
️ What psychedelic therapy really does to the mind and why some patients felt alive again after years of depression
️ Why psychedelics are not a miracle cure and can become dangerous in the wrong environment
️ What people must do after a psychedelic experience to prevent the old patterns from returning
️ Why antidepressants help some people but leave others feeling emotionally numb
️ How trapped emotions, trauma and the need for control can keep people psychologically stuck
️ Why friendship, community and nature may be among the most powerful forms of medicine
️ The ACER framework for accepting your emotions and reconnecting with your body, other people and the world
️ Why learning to feel your pain may be the beginning of feeling alive again
