3-Minute Theory: Fall Down Seven Times, Get Up Eight

This one’s for the people who’ve lost everything.

The ones building with shaky hands.
The ones who’ve failed, and still keep going.

Because this episode isn’t about winning, it’s about coming back stronger.

Here’s what we pulled from it - in 3 minutes, 3 angles, 1 insight.

MIND – Think

"Success isn’t built on wins, it’s built on what you do after the losses."

This episode challenged every myth about what makes a great entrepreneur.

It’s not credentials. It’s not playing it safe.
It’s about:

• Taking risks

• Learning from mistakes

• Building back after bankruptcy, burnout, or even cancer

• And most of all - taking ownership of it all

As Matt said:

“If you blame others, you give away your power. But if it’s your fault? Then you can fix it.”

That’s real resilience.

BODY – Do

Try This: The Entrepreneur’s Risk Audit

On paper, list:

1. One thing you’re passionate about

2. One problem you’ve personally experienced

3. One small way to solve that problem

4. One person you can talk to for validation

5. One step to test it this week

Example:

You love fitness → you’ve struggled with motivation → you create a simple 7-day habit tracker app
Ask 5 people if they’d use it
Post a concept mockup to IG stories - “Would you try this?”

You don’t need to quit your job.
You just need to start testing your ideas with zero cost.

HEART – Feel

Ask yourself:

"If I lost everything tomorrow - who would still stand by me?"

This episode was honest about the darkness:

• Losing the house, the cars, the businesses

• Facing death threats

• Navigating marriage, burnout, and brain tumours

• Wondering if the dream was worth it

But the answer was clear:

The people who matter stay.
And your identity isn’t what you have, it’s how you rebuild.

Real strength is quiet.
It shows up at rock bottom.

A Piece of Us

Rupert: “This week has been really tough for me when it comes to communication.

I’ve realised that I haven’t been as open or connected with my friends as I should have been, and I’ve also struggled to stay composed when faced with certain triggers. It’s always challenging to express your true feelings in the heat of the moment. Still, I’m proud of how I handled things - I apologised, learned from the experience, and moved forward.

I know I’m not perfect - never have been, never will be, but I can learn, grow, and keep improving. I pushed myself to sit with discomfort and face situations I once would’ve run from. Instead of retreating, I’ve made the effort to set my ego aside and genuinely listen to others’ perspectives so I can learn from them.

I’m still insecure, but I’m working hard to change that - to become more comfortable with myself, even when it hurts.”

Konrad: “A lot has happened in the last seven days. I’ve started my counselling course again (Level 3), and we’ve got a really interesting guest booked for the podcast in November. We’ve been working hard on improving our audio and background setup, and it finally feels like that part is coming together.

Unfortunately, on Friday I injured my back. I was doing leg press with bad form and managed to spasm my lower back, so I’m off training for a couple of weeks now. I guess it’s a little opportunity to focus on other areas of my life.

I’ve also been attending my own therapy sessions (all in on IFS at the moment) and noticed there’s a part of me that wants to control everything. When things don’t go according to plan, it makes me feel sick and incredibly angry - definitely something I need to work on.

I want to be a better man, friend, business partner, son, brother, and partner. But I know that’ll take time - time to find all my messed-up parts and heal them in a way that’s healthy for me.”
