In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel sits down with finance/investment expert Ben Knight to unravel some common myths about money management. They discuss the reality behind managing finances effectively, the truth about passive income, and why emotional attachments to investments can be misleading.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

People who have come into money, usually inheritance, are the most targeted and vulnerable group and that’s not a coincidence.
Just having money, doesn’t mean you know how to manage money and maintain it.
Passive income is a myth because everything requires something at the start, whether that be time, money, or experience.
Property investment is sold as a very hands-off investment because of the time frame you’re talking about, but there’s still a lot of work that you have to put into it.
There’s so much other responsibility that comes with property investment, other than just ‘this is the money I’m putting in, and this is the return I’m hoping to get’.
You can have a great property strategy that’s tried and tested, and you know if you do X, Y, Z, chances are you’ll make money. If there’s an industry like watches, where it’s a lot harder to have a set strategy due to less data etc, suddenly it becomes a lot more risky.
You can’t have too much of an emotional connection to the stocks you invest in. Your love for a business has 0 impact on the stock price.

Mindset - She Climbed the Trek Without Me 33:42

2 дні тому33:42

33:42

Joel had planned it meticulously: a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Borneo to mark his wife Hannah’s recovery from major surgery. The centrepiece? A challenging rainforest trek to Coffin Cliff Point, a viewpoint so breathtaking it’s said to resemble an ocean of green. But the night before, illness hit. On the morning of his birthday, Joel was too unwell to get out of bed. Hannah had to go without him. That moment, watching someone he loves tackle something monumental, solo, sparked a powerful reflection. In business, just like in life, there comes a time when you have to step back. Whether it’s with staff, clients or even yourself, authentic leadership often means letting go and giving others the space to step up. In this episode, Joel and Martha delve into what it truly means to lead from the jungle to the boardroom. 💬 Letting go of control to let others grow 👣 The power of empowering your team 💼 How ego gets in the way of good leadership 🧠 Managing different personalities for better outcomes 📈 Why your team’s success is your success If you’re running a business or just trying to be a better leader, this one’s unmissable.

Ever delivered knockout results… only to watch a client walk? It’s a brutal truth of business: sometimes, amazing just isn't enough. In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel, fresh from a literal fever dream in Borneo (where he didn't see enough orangutans but did have a business epiphany!), and Martha unpack why. Using a real-life gut punch: a client who left despite an 18x return on ad spend, they reveal why your best work can vanish if clients don't see the 'so what?' and 'what's next?'. Whether you're in marketing, accounting, or any service game, if you're not constantly painting the bigger picture and showing the roadmap, you're risking it all. Joel and Martha dig into the common traps: assuming clients "just get it" (spoiler: they often don’t), failing to provide context for your wins, and not re-enrolling them in the exciting journey ahead. 🎯 Stop the Churn & Learn: Why context is king (and how to provide it effectively). How to transform stellar results into unshakeable client loyalty. The art of 'Roadmap Marketing': Keep clients strapped in and excited for the ride. The "Trajectory Trumps All" Principle: Why the journey often matters more than isolated wins. The crucial mistake of going silent, especially when things are meant to be great. Clients don’t leave because they’re losing. They leave because they can’t see what winning leads to . New episodes every Monday.

Marketing - Don't stop. When ads work, double down 35:14

17 днів тому35:14

35:14

That’s the blunt truth most business owners ignore. When a marketing campaign, advertising strategy or sales system starts producing results, the natural instinct should be to scale. But too often, entrepreneurs get bored, distracted or afraid: they pivot. They chase the next trend or fiddle with what isn’t broken. The result? Momentum stalls, revenue plateaus, and growth opportunities vanish. This episode is your reminder to stick with what works, amplify your wins and stop looking for problems to solve when the solution is right in front of you. In this no-nonsense episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel and Martha go deep into the psychology behind this self-sabotaging behaviour. They unpack the common blocks that stop smart, capable people from scaling up: fear of success, trust issues, and warped money mindsets. You’ll also hear real-world client stories, conversion maths that make scaling a no-brainer, and how objectivity (not emotion) is your biggest business asset. Plus, what Gary Vee regrets about Google Ads and why being “too comfortable” can cost you millions in the long run. 🎯 Why your best-performing adverts get ignored 💸 The real reason you’re scared to scale 📊 Breaking down money blocks with facts (not fear) 🚀 How to turn £500 into £5,000… and then into £50,000 🧠 The mindset mistake holding smart business owners back Whether it’s advertising spend, VA systems or lead generation: if it’s bringing ROI, do more of it. Don’t chase shiny new tactics. Know your numbers, trust the data, and back yourself. And yes, we also debate who’d win in a fight: 100 men or one gorilla… Tap the link in bio to listen.

This episode delves into the psychology behind why people buy. It starts with Joel's recent impulse purchase of a car window smasher, triggered by seeing a flaming BMW, and explores why the most effective marketing sells outcomes, not just features. Joel and Martha discuss what really makes people click "Buy Now", exploring how fear based 'what if' scenarios can drive immediate purchases, even for problems people didn't know they had. They cover why success in sales often starts with making your audience 'problem aware' and focusing on the true issue your product solves. 🔍 Are your customers problem aware? Understanding if your audience knows they need a solution. 💡 The “What If?” Strategy: Tapping into emotional triggers and future fears, not just logic. 🔥 From flaming BMWs to window smashers: How specific events create instant problem awareness. 🎁 How poor gift giving mirrors poor marketing: Why understanding the recipient's actual needs matters (even for custom Game Boys!). 🛠️ Selling Outcomes, Not Features: Focusing on the result (like the hole in the wall, not the drill) is key. Whether you are selling candles, consultancy, or even Lynx clickers, this episode will shift how you think about your audience’s underlying problems and what truly motivates them to buy. 🎧 Listen now: “Marketing – Why They Really Buy: Uncovering the True Pain Point” Links: Website: https://www.codebreak.co.uk Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/codebreakcrew/ Facebook: https://facebook.com/codebreakcrew/ Joel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joelstoneofficial/ Joel's Facebook: https://facebook.com/joelstoneofficial/ Free Marketing Budget Calculator: https://codebreak.outgrow.us/knowyournumbers Arrange a call with Codebreak: https://form.jotform.com/241272835208051…

In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel and Martha are back in the saddle and diving deep into a crucial, yet often misunderstood, aspect of business: the power of choice. They explore how strategically giving your clients options can make them feel empowered and in control, all while you remain the trusted guide steering towards a positive outcome. Forget the old-school "railroading" tactics that make clients tetchy. Joel and Martha break down the fine line between sounding certain and confident versus being pushy. They share practical insights applicable to sales, delivery, and negotiation, emphasising the importance of structure to avoid getting stuck in "the chase." Hear their take on why offering two good choices is far more effective than a simple yes/no, and when you absolutely shouldn't give options (like when a client already knows exactly what they want!). They also touch on the shift to shorter, more impactful discovery calls, the art of listening more than you speak, and how clear service packages can simplify decision-making. Plus, they reveal a major red flag to watch out for in potential clients and share the powerful question they now use to uncover what 'world-class result' truly looks like for the customer. Key moments include: Why giving clients choice empowers them and keeps you in control. The difference between guiding clients and dictating to them. How to structure follow-ups to avoid the dreaded "chase." The strategic advantage of offering two good options. When not to give choices, especially when a client is certain. The importance of emotionally detaching from the sales result. Identifying red flags in potential clients who expect you to be the sole expert. Asking powerful questions to understand a client's desired outcome. Packed with candid conversation and actionable advice, this episode will help you refine your client interactions and close deals with greater confidence and integrity.

In this episode of the Stay Hungry Podcast, Joel and Martha tackle a fundamental truth many entrepreneurs try to ignore: growth is supposed to be hard. Forget the easy path.

We dive into: Why embracing the 'hard' is crucial for success (and why wanting it easy is a trap). The surprising link between physical challenges (like Hyrox training) and building business resilience. Delegation pitfalls: Why you often need to understand a task yourself before handing it off effectively. The messy reality of managing people: handling difficult conversations, navigating expectations, and the role of emotion in leadership. Perfectionism vs Progress: How setting realistic expectations beats chasing unattainable ideals. Beyond Vanity Metrics: Focusing on what truly matters (like profit over revenue).
