Welcome to The Healthy Entrepreneur Podcast with Freddie Pullen.

Today I'm sitting down with Alfie Robertson, founder of Amplify and Roll, and one of the fastest growing personal brands in the world.

In September 2023, Alfie had zero followers. He was living in Bondi, partying on weekends, working in consulting, and watching his flatmate build a following...

Then he made a decision.

75 days. No alcohol. Post every single day.

100 days later, he had 100,000 followers.

Today he runs a team of 40, has coached over 16,000 people and is building Roll, a SaaS platform that turns your camera roll into viral content in seconds.

In this episode we get into the story behind the growth, the identity shifts, the fear of being judged and the EXACT framework he uses to go from skill to 7 figures.

Key discussion points:

1. The 4 step roadmap: acquire the skill, teach, productise, then tech

2. Why you don't need to be an expert to start posting content

3. The cost of skipping the hard work first

4. How to kill the fear of posting including a pen & paper exercise

5. Competence vs connection content & why smart people get this wrong

6. The 6 F's of an awesome personal brand

7. The app solving the biggest problem in content creation

8. Where content is going in 2026 and why you're further ahead than you think

He was 15 years old when his father died.

Weeks later: homeless, no money and no system to catch him.

School had promised him a job. There were none.

So he did the only thing left: he started something.

Today, Simon Squibb is worth hundreds of millions, built 20 businesses and invested in 80+ companies.

He's now on a mission to fix the education system and let people dream.

In this episode, Freddie sits down with Simon to talk about the mindset behind the movement - why he thinks the school system is training you for a factory, what 700,000 graduates need to hear right now and why success means owning your time (not your bank balance).

Oh, and why he once bought a staircase at auction.

This one will make you uncomfortable in the best way.

You've built a business most people only dream about. But there's a version of you that's exhausted, out of shape, and running on fumes. Tom Hutchinson-Smith trains the people at the top - and he says it doesn't have to be that way.

Driven by a passion to redefine success beyond the boardroom, Tom specialises in working with individuals who have made substantial sacrifices to build their careers.

He understands the unique challenges faced by CEOs and business owners, offering tailored solutions to transform not just bodies but lives. With 17 years of experience coaching founders globally and in person in Dubai, his Straight Line Method focuses purely on what moves the needle for the busiest people in the room.

In this episode he breaks down the exact protocol he uses with clients, why successful people stay out of shape, and why your best body is a sum of average weeks - not perfect ones.
