The 7even Figures Business Podcast
3 DEC 2020 · id you know the Uk Bakery industry is worth 3.9 BILLION?
Neither did Samuel Mensah and growing up; he assumed he would make bread another way. Neither did he expect that one day he would be firing 80% of his staff to revive his company culture.
In this episode, Sam breakdowns the journey of growing his parent’s small community bakery, Uncle John’s, into an international company that owns two factories and stocks to over 200 stores in Europe. He goes over the tricks required to broker deals with major supermarkets, Tesco’s and Morrison — and the story of how they outsold Hovis. I also forced Sam to share some gems about surviving as a business in the black community and the tough decisions involved in innovating a company culture.
I am proud of this episode as a testament to the multiple opportunities available to grow a 7 figure business if you focus on an industry and apply your hustle.

From founding his music record label Disturbing London, he hit the ground running with his first artist (cousin and later business partner) Tinie Tempah. As a music entrepreneur there is no doubt that the journey has been an adventure! It is a pleasure to hear him give advise on the music industry
From a young age, Dumi Oburota was no stranger to entrepreneurship from spending time at his Dad's grocers and Uncle's Cash & Carry, he knew that he always wanted to build something that embraced all communities. While balancing days at grammar school and nights growing up in the heart of South London, he honed his skills for navigating different worlds. A skill that will prove invaluable when it came to taking on the UK music industry head-on! Very few platforms have been able to capture the culture on so many levels and so many different genres from Fashion to festivals in Ibiza, from Popstars like Jessie J to Hybrid stars like Poundz. Disturbing London has managed to always have a finger on not just the pulse of the UK music industry, but culture. A success which has translated globally. Dumi Oburota has always focused on being a cultural supplier, and their recent JV with Parlaphone is a sign that he is ready to push even more barriers in years to come.
Listen as Dumi breakdowns the logistics of starting a record label and navigating the music industry. The lessons, the hardships and the joys of building lifetime relationships while creating a revolutionary legacy.
16 OCT 2020 · This week we have Mark Tilbury who didn’t get the encouragement he needed so he dropped out of school at 16 years old to take on the working world while pursuing his passion for radio-controlled models!
Mark is generous with his wisdom and has mastered the art of side hustling (at one point he was working almost 4 jobs at once). Mark is almost too humble for a self-made entrepreneur that has built a commerce business and has grossed over 50 MILLION DOLLARS! I discovered him on TikTok dropping gems for the next generation. Mark has become extremely popular on social media (over 3 million followers) from his videos giving advice to young people on how to create passive income, manage finances and entrepreneurship. Our conversation covered his journey over the past 30 years; from having his entire business stolen, being rejected for bank loans and adapting to changes in industry and technology! Definitely not an episode to miss!!
23 SEP 2020 · The UK hospitality sector reached a value of more than 100 billion Euros in 2018. Despite the consequences of Brexit and staff shortages, the number of hosting and food services facilities has grown nearly 20% in the last five years. There has probably never been a better time to set up shop.
Our next guest has set up shop—literally—multiple times. Founder of first Filipino ice cream parlour, Mamasons Dirty Ice Cream, in the UK. As well as, pan- Asian restaurants: Bintang, Ramo Ramen, Moi Moi Island and Guanabana. Omar Shah knows his way around the kitchen and the offices. Most man pride themselves on running the strip, so does Omar, except his hustle is restaurants. Walk down Camden, and you will see his restaurants lined up back to back. As well, as one in Chinatown (and another pending in Westfield Shepherds Bush). While most of us were finishing school and rushing home to watch Goku finish off Frieza, Omar was finishing his homework in the Bintang basement then heading upstairs to wait tables and wash plates.
An unpredictable journey wouldn't do his experience justice. Omar has done everything from accounting, opening a marketing agency, designing a clothing line to learning how to cook Suya. He takes us through the secrets to opening a restaurant, the importance of marketing, menu psychology, applying streetwear principles to selling desserts and his plans to build an empire! I also had to grill him (no pun intended) on why an Asian man chose to open a NIGERIAN takeaway!
