She’s one of the UK’s leading brain and longevity doctors, trusted by world-class CEOs, athletes, and high performers.

After suffering a traumatic brain injury and falling into a coma, Dr. Tam rebuilt her health, using the very science she now shares with clients globally.

You’ll learn:
The truth about biological age vs. chronological age
How to test and improve your inflammation, stress, and sleep
The critical hormones you’re likely ignoring
What IV drips, cold plunges, and supplements actually do (and don’t do)
How to create a lifestyle that supports longevity, not just lifespan
This is not theory. This is a masterclass from someone who’s lived it, and guided thousands through it.

What does it really take to build one of the most iconic hospitality brands in the world, and what happens when you walk away?
In this episode I sit down with Martin Kuczmarski, the former COO of Soho House, who was the mastermind behind the scale of the brand into a global lifestyle empire known for its exclusivity, culture, and community.
From launching clubs across three continents to defining the playbook for modern hospitality, Martin was the man behind the operations of one of the world’s coolest brands.
But success came with a price.
In this raw and revealing conversation, Martin opens up about the pressure, burnout, and the personal identity shift that comes with leaving the top.
He shares why he walked away, and how that decision led him to create something new on his own: The Dover, one of London’s most successful restaurants.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🟠 The unseen realities of scaling a lifestyle brand
🟠 Why operational excellence alone doesn’t build culture
🟠 How burnout forced him to rethink success
🟠 The emotional toll of leadership, and what it really costs
🟠 How he’s applying 20+ years of experience to build London’s trendiest restaurant, The Dover
🟠 What he’d do differently if he had to start all over again
This episode is about brand-building, leadership, reinvention, and the freedom to start over, no matter how high you’ve already climbed.

There are over 400 dog breeds in the world.
So why is most pet food still made based on size?
Entrepreneur Victor Mortreu, Co-Founder of Just Russel, asked that same question, and built one of the fastest-growing pet food companies in Europe in response.
By using AI to create custom-tailored nutrition plans, Just Russel is helping pets live longer, healthier lives.
The company is now doing over $30 million in annual revenue.
Victor is a firm believer in failing and testing cheaply. He did that a few times until co-founding Just Russel.
What changed?
His mindset, his process, and his ability to spot a rising cultural shift: pets becoming the new children.
Success is all about testing and keep trying.
In this conversation with Alberto, Victor reveals:
How to test and validate business ideas quickly, with minimal capital
The advantages of scaling from a smaller market like Belgium
What most founders get wrong about building trust with modern consumers
The entrepreneurial lessons behind turning trends into businesses
This is not just a story about pet food. It’s about timing, psychology, and building a product that actually matters.
If you’re thinking about launching something new, or pivoting something old, this is the episode you’ll want to study.

He could’ve taken the easy road. But he didn’t.In this episode, Alberto sits down with Henry Vindevogel, the 29-year-old founder of TOCG, a cosmetic conglomerate with annual revenues exceeding £45M—and someone whose story is often misunderstood.
Born into a family of successful entrepreneurs, many assumed Henry’s path was already paved. That his success was inherited, not earned.
But behind the surface of privilege lies a different kind of struggle—one not defined by lack, but by the emotional complexity of building something that’s truly yours when the world believes it was handed to you.
In this episode we explore:
Identity and legacy
The pressure of high expectations
Choosing challenge over comfort
Redefining success when money isn’t the motivator
Henry built a thriving, values-led business in the organic consumer space—and faced the invisible hurdles that come with being expected to win.
