  • One Golden Nugget For Creative Rebels

    One Golden Nugget For Creative Rebels
    Feb 17 2025
    “There’s never a perfect time. Just begin.” In this episode of The RebelRebel Podcast, host Michael Dargie welcomes Steven Foster, the founder of One Golden Nugget, to share his remarkable journey through entrepreneurship, personal struggle, and self-discovery. From sleeping in his office during lockdown to creating a global platform that collects and shares wisdom nuggets, Steven’s story is as inspiring as it is humbling. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Steven takes listeners back to his early days when his entrepreneurial spirit first sparked. He started by replicating cassette tapes for dance music enthusiasts in the UK, which quickly scaled into a million-dollar business. His journey then veered into the world of music promotion and large-scale dance events, before crashing into bankruptcy. From there, Steven reinvented himself as a songwriter, securing deals with Universal Music and collaborating with major artists. Yet, the rollercoaster continued—his ventures in digital marketing agencies followed a similar pattern of rapid growth and collapse. At his lowest point—broke and living in his office during the pandemic—Steven had an idea: to collect and share people’s most valuable pieces of wisdom. Thus, One Golden Nugget was born. What started as a personal project turned into a life-changing platform, transforming both Steven’s life and the lives of those who shared their insights. Throughout the conversation, Steven emphasizes the power of kindness, slowing down, and trusting the journey. He stresses the importance of niching down, taking massive action, and embracing failure as part of the entrepreneurial adventure. He shares his belief that true happiness is rooted in kindness, and that the greatest gift is simply waking up each day. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or a “rebel in waiting,” Steven’s story will leave you with a renewed sense of purpose and a pocket full of golden nuggets. Cool Things Steven Says “Kindness is the route to happiness.”“Don’t boil the ocean. Find your niche and own it.” “There’s never a perfect time. Just begin.” “You have nothing to lose.”“Be the love—in everything you do.” Episode Highlights Steven’s early days: cassette tape duplication turned million-dollar business. The rise and fall of Dreamscape, his large-scale dance music events company. His time as a cleaner, learning humility after losing everything. Transition into songwriting, working with Pop Idol and X Factor contestants. The birth of One Golden Nugget during the COVID-19 lockdown. The power of kindness and faith as drivers for success. “Don’t rush; there’s no destination.” Why niching down is key to sustainable business. Bikram hot yoga as a life-changing practice. The importance of clean eating for sustained energy. The gift of simply waking up each day.

  • Taking The Fight Forward

    Taking The Fight Forward
    Feb 14 2025
    “At what age should I stop achieving? At what age should I stop improving?” When most people hit their 50s, they might slow down, lean into comfort, and start looking forward to retirement. Not Stuart Warren Dansby. He did the opposite—he stepped into the ring. In this powerful episode of The RebelRebel Podcast, host Michael Dargie sits down with Stuart to talk about his journey into competitive fighting later in life, a path filled with punches, humility, and the relentless pursuit of personal growth. This episode is sponsored by my new book BRANDJITSU, helping you find, shape, and share your story with the world. Stuart shares his origin story—how a single humbling training session led him down a path of obsession with martial arts. Training alongside fighters half his age, Stuart pushed his limits physically and mentally, defying not only his age but also two severely damaged knees. His story is captured in the gripping documentary Taking the Fight, a film that chronicles his journey toward earning respect in the ring and within himself. The conversation dives deep into what it means to face your fears, push past your limits, and embrace pain as a catalyst for growth. Stuart reflects on the power of perseverance and the importance of showing up—not just for yourself, but for those around you who look to you as a source of inspiration. The bond between fighters, the thrill of testing one’s spirit, and the beauty of being fully present in the moment are all explored in this honest and inspiring episode. Whether you’re an aspiring fighter or simply seeking motivation to face your own challenges, Stuart’s story will remind you that the fight is always worth it—and it’s never too late to step into the ring. Cool Things Stuart Says “If you’re not sore and you’re not tired, then don’t call yourself a fighter—and you’ll never be a champion.”“At what age should I stop achieving? At what age should I stop improving?”“Every one of us has a fight—we all hold ourselves back. But we can all push through.”“You gotta want that. You gotta wrap your soul around it.”“Rise, grind, function, achieve—in gratitude.” Episode Highlights Stuart’s late start into martial arts and fighting in his 50s.His journey from being humbled in his first training session to competing against fighters 30 years younger.Overcoming severe knee injuries and pushing beyond physical limitations.The making of Taking the Fight documentary—a nine-year journey.The role of mentors and coaches in personal development.The mental resilience needed to endure hits in the ring—and in life.The deeper bond formed through combat and mutual respect among fighters.Stuart’s mantra: “Rise, grind, function, achieve—in gratitude.”Advice to rebels in waiting: Believe in yourself, work relentlessly, stay positive, and never stop learning.
