To build an online course requires a whole bunch of time, dedication, effort and resources. After building it, how would you feel if no one was interested in it? You would be pretty devastated right? But that’s exactly what happens to many entrepreneurs right now in the knowledge industry. In fact this happens to a lot of entrepreneurs in many industries. They build products that they think their audience want but in fact, don’t! T...

He is often described as a serial entrepreneur, investor, scholar, AI expert, Harvard Business School graduate, speaker plus more. But to me, I would simply say genius.

A lot of people and businesses for that matter want to go out and create their app and set aside x amount of money to go out and get it built. “Build it and they will come” - it’s something we’ve all heard a lot of the time right? Build that business and they will come. Build that app and they will come. And then they WAIT, for their future dream customers to come to them and download their app. This is great and everything, but un...

Everyone wants exposure with their apps. They want to get as many downloads as possible. But it’s not about that. You heard me - it’s not about getting the MOST downloads.

This is the most profound and life-changing episode I’ve ever recorded. Honestly, you won’t be the same person after listening to this.

We’ve all heard it from time to time that if you want to be successful, you should be visualising your success. Picture yourself winning that business deal.

Ever found yourself out in public, whether it’s in a nightclub or supermarket, and you hear a song and think, “wow I need this song in my life!”? You could ask someone if they knew what the song was, or you could do what over 150 million people do monthly which is to use an app on their phone to recognise that song. That app name? You guessed it - Shazam. We’re kicking off season 2 of the App Startup Show with a bang! We’re speakin...

Do you know what the difference is between someone who succeeds and someone who doesn’t? A success mindset. Tony Robbins once said that success is 80% psychology and 20% skill, and that goes for anyone wanting to start their own business, including those of you wanting to launch your own app. To succeed in this game, you’re going to need a success mindset.

    Bleep! with Ana Navarro

    Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story. The conversations acknowledge the emotions we all feel—despair, sadness, fear— but emerge with knowledge, perspective, and hope. The belief is simple: fearless dialogue can transform fear into courage, and courage into change. When fear dominates the headlines, this show digs deeper. Because information, debate, and conversation don’t just ease fear, they give us power to shape the future.
