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!
