What an amazing week, possibly one of my best for a long time…. https://lnkd.in/p/eJUFeEBf I explain it best in this Linkedin post, as to round off this week, after meeting HRH Princess Royal and now nominated and being recognised as Founders Choice for overcoming resilience and adversity. I post this to share, that life (and business) can be a rollercoaster and to have the highs and lows is all part of this rich tapestry called life 👊 Thank you @Dr Mike Greene DL and the community for all their support through what has been one of my toughest periods.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Mike, Juls and Mimi and everyone for today the food was lovely, I had a fantastic time and really enjoyed myself Thank you Sam

Following the success of our Thoroughbred Business Breakfasts in 2025 and 2026, I am delighted to announce our next event… 📅 Wednesday 2nd September | Newmarket There are networking events… and then there are experiences. The Thoroughbred Business Breakfast is an exclusive opportunity to step behind the scenes of one of Britain’s most prestigious industries, opening doors that are rarely available to the public. This is your chance to: Be welcomed into the historic, private members’ club, The Jockey Club Rooms, for an unforgettable morning. Travel to the famous Warren Hill Gallops in the heart of Newmarket, where a leading trainer will guide you through the history of this iconic training ground while you watch racehorses exercising. Return to The Jockey Club Rooms to enjoy a full breakfast around one beautifully laid table, giving you the opportunity to connect with fellow business owners and leaders, share ideas, build relationships and gain a fascinating insight into the thoroughbred racing and breeding industry. You will also enjoy a private tour of the Rooms, discovering their remarkable history, art and heritage. Visit an exclusive international breeding farm, home to some of the world’s most valuable stallions, for a private behind-the-scenes experience. Finish the day at Tattersalls, where you will witness the excitement of a live bloodstock auction from the world-famous Park Paddocks sales ring and experience an atmosphere unlike any other. This is more than a networking event. It is an opportunity to go where most people cannot, learn what few people ever experience, and leave inspired by an industry built on passion, excellence and tradition. Whether you have an interest in racing or simply enjoy unique business experiences, this is a day that will stay with you long after it ends. 📅 Wednesday 2nd September 📍 Newmarket 💷 £249 per person 25% discount for bookings of four or more people. Places are limited, and previous events have been extremely well received.

Some people spend 20 years “networking”… Yet never get any further forward. Why? Because they’re in the wrong rooms.With the wrong people.At the wrong level.Having the wrong conversations. Real networking is not collecting business cards over warm white wine and stale sausage rolls. It’s proximity. Proximity to people ahead of you. People building bigger things. People solving bigger problems. People thinking differently. People who challenge your standards, your thinking, your excuses and your vision. A couple of weeks ago we took around 20 entrepreneurs over to Newmarket, to one of the incredible days that are hosted by the brilliant @Michael O'Hagan and @Holly Ohagan at MOH check out their video What an incredible day.... access to people and parts of Newmarket that you only get because of the massive respect that Michael and Holly command in the area/specialism Not long before that, we hosted an exclusive lunch and private tour at the House of Lords for 27 entrepreneurs, escorted by 2 Lords no less. And in the next couple of months we’ll be enjoying an exclusive tour and lunch at the infamous Coutts Bank, the King’s bank, (formerly the Queen’s bank), inside the boardrooms where history, influence and wealth have flowed for generations. Why do I do this? Because success leaves clues. Most people don’t need more motivation.They need better rooms.Better conversations.Better standards.Better thinking.Better connections. One meaningful conversation can change the trajectory of your business and your life. That’s what The Growth Syndicate is about. Not fake networking: Real access. Real people. Real growth. Real conversations. Because networking is only working…If you work it.

I had such a great day with mentees, skool members and friends at home on Saturday... ....and we raised £9,000 for Cambridge Children's hospital whilst having fun - what's not to love?
