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.

Are entrepreneurs born or made?
is clear. He was not born one. He never sold lemonade, never traded cards, never had side hustles growing up. He worked low-paying jobs, had no idea how to make money, and was terrified of entrepreneurship.
It was only when he hit rock bottom, broke and living on his sister’s couch, that he realised he had no choice. Necessity forced him to learn, and that’s what made him an entrepreneur.

What happens when your only dream ends?
Lewis Howes was a professional athlete until an injury stopped everything. His identity was gone, he had no plan, and he had to sit with the question: who am I now?
That dark period forced him to look deeper. He realised he could build a new vision by leaning into what inspired him most and using his talents to create something bigger. That decision became the foundation of The School of Greatness and the work he does today.

What do you do when your career ends overnight?
faced that moment when an injury stopped his professional football career. He had no money, no plan, and was living on his sister’s couch.
That was his screw it just do it moment. Instead of staying stuck, he chose to rebuild, learn from mentors, and take action. From there, he created The School of Greatness, now a top 100 podcast that has inspired millions worldwide.
I’ve written about this journey in a new blog. It is a reminder that rock bottom can be the start of something far bigger.

.murray was stuck. Her job paid the rent and helped fund her idea, but it held her back from giving Pip & Nut the time it needed.
Then she saw a competition to live rent free in a garden shed. She entered. She won. She quit her job that same day. Three months later she had crowdfunded ÂŁ120k in seven days and had the capital to start production.
This is what taking the leap looks like.

.murray left her job, moved into a shed, and crowdfunded ÂŁ120k in just seven days. That was the start of Pip & Nut.
She told me why pressure creates momentum, why you need to commit fully, and why action beats endless ideas.
This is what taking the leap really looks like.

Pip Murray told me she is an introvert, not the loudest person in the room. Yet she built Pip & Nut into the UK’s number one nut butter brand.
Her point was clear. Leadership is not about volume. It is about showing up authentically and building resilience over time. Just like running a marathon, you become stronger with every mile and calmer with every test.

heard a line in a meeting that stuck with her: life is leverage. It pushed her to rethink her role.

She didn’t want to keep asking for money. She wanted to be the money. Her vision came from her work as a psychologist, where she saw how often depression was linked to not having the financial means to live out a dream.

That realisation was the spark for .

Every founder asks the same question: where do you start?

Mike McDerment, founder of , is clear. You start with the customer. Not with a product idea. Not with a big plan. You begin by finding one specific customer, understanding their pain better than they can explain it, and solving it in a way that makes their life easier.

It sounds simple, but few entrepreneurs go deep enough. The ones who do are the ones who build businesses that last.

What starts as a mistake can turn into a billion-dollar business.

Mike McDerment accidentally saved over an invoice while running his design firm. Instead of buying new software, he built a simple tool to bill clients. That tool became .

He thought it was just for him, until he realised others wanted it too. From there, it grew into a platform serving millions worldwide.

One of the hardest lessons for founders is resisting the urge to sell to everyone.

Mike McDerment, founder of , shared how the turning point came when he narrowed focus to a single group: web designers. For seven years, every dollar of marketing went into serving them. The result? A loyal base, word-of-mouth growth, and a business that scaled from his parents’ basement to a $1B valuation.

If you are spread thin trying to reach every possible customer, this is your reminder: pick one, solve their problem better than anyone else, and let focus do the work.

shared the moment she decided to take her shot. Sitting in a restaurant, fed up with how women were treated in the UK venture scene, she told a potential investor: unless you give me $10 million, I’m leaving and not coming back.

It was bold, risky, and came from sheer frustration. But it also shows the conviction it takes to raise capital and challenge the status quo.

told me that raising her $70M fund came down to persistence. Most doors closed. She kept going until one opened.

Her story is a reminder that one meeting, one conversation, can change the trajectory of a business. But only if you keep knocking.
