In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I sit down with Neil Sweeney - entrepreneur, investor, EOS implementer and founder who went from living in a garage with his young family… to scaling two businesses and exited for multi-million pound sums.

Neil shares the unfiltered story of building his first company, Securo, from scratch with nothing but a credit card, pure grit and why he stripped his family life back to zero to make it happen.

We talk about:

• How Neil went from commercial property apprentice to multimillion-pound founder
• Why he moved his family into a garage for years to reduce overheads and take risks
• The exact moment he realised his business model could scale
• How he built Securo to acquisition, and what made his business buy-ready
• What really happens during due diligence
• Why the moment he sold he felt… nothing
• Life after exit, identity loss and the “now what?” moment every founder hits
• Why EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) is the most powerful framework for scaling a business
• How to run truly great meetings, create aligned leadership teams and stop chaos
• His next chapter: buying and scaling a 500-school photography business

This episode is raw, inspiring and painfully relatable for any founder who’s growing, scaling or dreaming about an exit.

In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I sit down with Aaron Knightley - entrepreneur, investor, educator and one of the fastest-growing voices on TikTok, YouTube, and financial freedom content in the UK.

Aaron went from a vulnerable, underpaid logistics job to building multiple income streams, raising investment, creating online programs, and becoming financially independent in his early 30s.

We get into:

• How Aaron escaped the 9–5 rat race with no qualifications
• The mindset shift that changed his entire life at age 20
• The habits, discipline and daily systems that allowed him to build wealth
• How he turned TikTok into a multiple six-figure revenue channel
• Why most people stay stuck… and the harsh truths they avoid
• How to start building a business or side-hustle with zero budget
• Why “give value first” is the key to monetising content
• The importance of money management, compounding and living humbly
• How to build an authentic personal brand people trust
• Why you’re not too old or too late for TikTok
• And the timeframe Aaron believes anyone can follow to gain financial independence

Aaron is unapologetically direct, funny, and brutally honest.

Trigger warning on brutal honestly in this episode

If you want real talk about money, mindset, social media, and building a life by design… this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode of Focus on the Fun Stuff, I’m joined by Roger Line, founder of Structural Repairs - a UK-based engineering business now generating over £2 million a month.

Roger’s journey is anything but typical: he lost everything after a serious illness, rebuilt from scratch, and turned his company into one of the fastest-growing engineering firms in the UK.

We talk about:

• How Roger went from £500K turnover to £2M/month in three years
• The power of delegation and why most founders struggle to let go
• His anti-distraction mindset and morning ritual for focus
• The story behind his model railway marketing strategy (yes, really!)
• How he built a business around fun, curiosity, and creativity
• His journey with a business coach and what truly changed his results

Roger also shares the personal story behind losing his family through religion, rebuilding his life, and finding success - both in business and happiness.

If you’ve ever wondered how to grow fast without burning out, this conversation will change how you think about success, delegation, and how to Focus on the Fun Stuff!
