Real stories from founders who took the leap. Hosted by Alex Chisnall. Everyone has ambitions.

Learn how today’s top entrepreneurs started, scaled, & stayed true to their vision. Twice Weekly every Tuesday & Thursday. To start their own business. To lose weight. To launch a podcast. But for most of us, those ambitions are still on the to-do list. You’ll get round to them… one day. But some people overcome procrastination. That thing you’d love to do? They knew the risks
but said “screw it”

and just did it anyway. On the Screw It Just Do It podcast, Alex Chisnall is on a mission to answer one simple question: how do you get to where you want to be? Joining him are inspirational entrepreneurs, sports stars, entertainers and authors who took the leap. They became the people they wanted to be. They did what they always wanted to do. In this series of revealing, challenging and often surprising conversations, they might just help you discover how to do it too.

Piers Linney MBE was clear. AI is moving faster than most founders expect and the real risk sits in waiting. AI already handles cognitive work, analysis and personalisation at a level manual teams cannot match. Businesses using AI daily will widen the gap. Those who hesitate will fall behind.
