He left school at 16, learned the art of selling at Foxtons and co-founded Touchbase, a mobile-phone business that grew to around 200 million. Then ego, reckless expansion, the financial crisis and a refusal to accept failure brought everything crashing down.What followed was six years inside the American prison system, separation from his wife and five children, brutal violence and a complete mental collapse within his first six weeks.In this extraordinarily raw conversation with Dan Pope, Riordan explains how believing he was “Midas” turned ambition into self-destruction, why hopelessness crushes the human spirit and how he rebuilt his mind by focusing only on what he could control.He also shares hard-earned lessons on sales, differentiation, value, resilience and closing deals. Brutally honest, darkly funny and unexpectedly practical, this is a conversation about extraordinary success, catastrophic failure and rebuilding yourself after losing almost everything.\nON THE MENU:00:00:00 Intro\n00:05:15 How a Wapping Flat Became a £200M Business\n00:11:25 The IRS Arrives With Guns\n00:17:15 How Fear of Failure Sent Him to Prison\n00:21:10 The Best Business Advice He Ignored\n00:24:50 His Last In-N-Out Before Prison\n00:28:30 California’s “Best” Prison Was Still Hell\n00:34:05 What Prison Reveals About Human Hierarchy\n00:37:20 The Gang Leader Who Allegedly Killed Six\n00:41:05 How He Negotiated With Prison Gangs\n00:45:10 A Normal Day Inside Federal Prison\n00:48:15 Two Years Locked Down During Covid\n00:52:20 Why Mackerel Became Prison Currency\n00:55:20 Murder, Sex and the “Boom Boom Room”\n01:01:08 How Prison Destroyed His Mental Health\n01:06:44 The Question That Stops a Doom Loop\n01:10:10 Two Questions That Interrupt Anxiety\n01:15:10 How to Build a Compelling Future\n01:19:10 Grant Cardone Versus Achievable Goals\n01:22:25 Why Purpose Requires Obsession\n01:26:10 The Beliefs That Made Him Feel Like Scum\n01:29:20 Learning...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gxmV4UzMdxQXxd72h-fgEanMz6IG37j1u683zTmU0ac/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85ZGI4/Y2FkNjcwNmEwMDNm/YWUwOTcyZTM0YzYw/YWU3My5qcGVn.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
