From a 13-year-old immigrant who couldn't speak English to building a £2.5 billion hotel empire, Surinder Arora's story is nothing short of extraordinary. He joins Rob to share his journey from working as a waiter and British Airways clerk to becoming one of the UK's most successful hoteliers. With candid revelations about near bankruptcy, family sacrifice, and the importance of maintaining humility despite immense wealth, Arora gives his experiences and thoughts on business resilience, property investment, and the true meaning of success.

Surinder Arora REVEALS:

• How four houses bought for £161,000 in 1993 evolved into a hotel worth £50+ million
• How he survived the major financial crisis in 2008 when his company nearly collapsed
• How he outmanoeuvred British Airways and Heathrow Airport
• Why he developed his business philosophy from his mother's wisdom: "Never buy your name or reputation" and "Be a farmer, not a hunter"
• Why he maintains a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion in his business

BEST MOMENTS

"My dear mom used to say, son, in life, you can never buy your name or your reputation. So always be a farmer and not hunter. Don't just go for a quick kill. Don't miss sell. Don't cheat people."

"Life is like a wave. A lot of people will say they're winners when you're on top of the hill. In my world, the real winners are down in the valleys."

"I want to treat all the guests like royalty, and my staff like family."

"Never expect for life to just be in a straight line... since I started the business, you know, we've had valleys and hills. We had 9/11, then we had 7/7 then we had the 2008 financial crisis."

"We are all on this planet and we come with nothing. We're going to go with nothing."

BEST MOMENTS

"I didn't start off an amazing runner or anything, but I've been out there an awful lot. I guess it's like with you in business, similar kind of principle, just you go put yourself out there. You try, try, try, you fuck it up a little bit, then you learn from it."

"I made quitting so painful that it meant I could bear quite a lot before I would even think about quitting."

"The pain of quitting was just always way more intense than, than anything else."

"Create your own luck and roll with that."

"Be fucking serious about your work, but not serious about life and what people say to you and the shit you read online."

Rob is joined by former Pimlico Plumbers founder Charlie Mullins as he shares why he left the UK after Labour's victory and more. From paying £100 million in taxes to building a £150 million business, Charlie doesn't hold back on his views about working from home, immigration, business practices, and Labour's policies. Charlie also shares his controversial takes on employment, apprenticeships, and the current political climate.

Charlie REVEALS:

• How he built Pimlico Plumbers into a £150 million business

• How he would solve the migration and immigration crisis

• Why he moved to Spain after Labour's victory, criticising their anti-business policies and approach to unions and benefits

• Why he advocates for the immediate sacking of bad employees

• How he paid over £100 million in UK taxes before leaving and is also now fighting attempts to remove his OBE

• Why he believes working from home is detrimental to business and professional development

BEST MOMENTS

"I learned in life, you don't follow your drea, follow what's going to be beneficial to you. Follow your future. Dreams don't happen."

"The best time to sack someone is when you first think about getting rid of them."

"Staff is the worst thing in business, but it's also the best thing."

"For a youngster, once you've got a job, that's when you grow up. That's when you become part of society. That's when you start contributing and you get something out of it."
