Growing a business doesn’t always mean getting bigger. 

In this bonus episode of re:WORKING, in partnership with Tesco Mobile, Tim sits down with Danielle Moylan, founder of Lala Books in Camberwell, south London. 

After a career as a UN spokesperson working on Syria, Danielle moved to London during lockdown and opened a deli in a 30m² shop. It was so popular that she had 13 members of staff, queues down the street, and she was working 100 hours a week. But instead of expanding, she took stock of her goals and closed the business down, reopening as a bookshop. Today Lala Books is a community hub with an events programme, the Pay It Forward fund that has raised over £3,000 and visitors from across London and beyond. 

In this episode Tim and Danielle discuss: 

• Why you don’t need to know everything before you start, and why the “perfect scenario” doesn’t exist 

• Going back to your purpose when you’re deciding what to do next, instead of defaulting to growth 

• Taking a big financial risk and rebuilding credibility with your community in a completely new business 

• Keeping events small and intimate, and how to stay protective of what you’ve built 

• Why bookshops matter at a time of library closures, loneliness and doomscrolling 

• The pressures facing high street businesses, from rising rents and business rates to paying staff above the London Living Wage 

If you’re feeling jaded, or you’ve outgrown your business and aren’t sure which way to turn, this episode will help you make the change on your own terms. 

Tesco Mobile offers flexible business deals that are up to 40% cheaper than the big mobile networks, a welcome bonus, free access to the Help Hub and a quick sign-up. So, you can concentrate on growing your business, not your mobile bill. Find out more at TescoMobile.co.uk or in store.  

Dean Forbes is regarded as one of Britain’s most successful private equity and enterprise software CEOs.

He’s known as an ‘exit master’ after achieving major business deals including the £1 Billion sale of software firm Forterro in 2022.

But, Dean grew up facing severe financial insecurity and in his teenage years he failed to make it as a professional footballer.

Left with £80,000 of personal debt, he swapped the training ground for an office and rose from a junior role in telesales to the CEO of global tech companies in under 15 years.

Tim and Dean discuss privilege mindset, the cost of ego, and the lessons Dean’s learned from multiple major business exits.

They also discuss:

• How Dean’s ‘disadvantage’ proved to be “the ultimate advantage”

• Luck & talent versus hard work

• Dean’s childhood and what it taught him

• How he learned about body language and emotional intelligence

Today, Tim is joined by technology journalist and presenter Georgie Barrat, best known for her seven years on The Gadget Show.

AI is changing the way we work. But between the headlines about jobs disappearing and the pressure to keep up with every new tool, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, left behind or worried about what comes next.

Georgie believes we've been thinking about AI all wrong.

Rather than seeing it as a threat, what if we learned to use it as our own personal team of assistants, taking care of the repetitive tasks, helping us think bigger and giving us more time to do the work that really matters?

Georgie breaks down how to get started with AI, how to make it genuinely useful in your working life and why your experience, judgement and creativity could become even more valuable as the technology advances. She also shares how she used AI as a career coach when returning to work, and explains how you can build your own to help you move forward.

Tim and Georgie discuss:
- Why we've been asking the wrong questions about AI
- How to use AI to save time and get rid of boring work
- Why you should talk to AI instead of typing
- How to build your own AI assistant and career coach
- How to get better results without mastering the perfect prompt
- Whether AI really is coming for your job
- Why your experience and human judgement still matter
- The dangers of outsourcing your thinking to AI
- How to use AI without losing your creativity or originality

And what should you do when someone tells you you're not right for the job?

Today, Tim answers three more questions sent in by you, sharing lessons from his own career about creating value, learning from difficult feedback and recognising when the advice you're given isn't the advice you need.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why being good at your job isn't enough if you don't create value

• How to recognise when stepping aside is the best thing you can do

• Why the right response to rejection might be to look for another opportunity, not give up

But along the way he’s faced struggles; going to prison, battling with alcoholism, and overcoming anxiety and self doubt.

Tim and Ashley discuss how he made the jump from one career to the other, what he did to avoid getting stuck, and what you can do to turn your setbacks into successes.

They also discuss:

• Finding the positives in tough situations

• Ashley’s journey battling addiction

What does success actually look like? Is it being brilliant at what you do, or making a difference that people genuinely notice?

How do you know when it’s your moment to lead, and when it’s time to pass the baton?

And what happens when someone tells you, “Sorry, you’re not the right fit”? Do you accept it, or find a different door to knock on?

In this bonus episode, Tim dives into three questions from you! Drawing on stories from his own career, he unpacks what it really means to create value, how to handle feedback that stings, and why sometimes the best advice is the advice you choose not to take.

• Why being great at your job isn’t enough if you’re not creating real value

• How to spot when stepping aside is the smartest move you can make

• Why rejection can be a sign to look elsewhere, not a reason to give up

Today, Tim is joined by one of the world's most influential psychologists, Angela Duckworth.
Angela became famous for her groundbreaking work on grit — the idea that passion and perseverance matter more than talent when it comes to long-term success.

But after years studying high achievers, she's come to a surprising conclusion:

What if the problem isn't you? What if it's your situation?

In this conversation, Angela explains why so many ambitious people get stuck trying harder when what they really need is a different environment, different relationships, or a different way of thinking. From burnout and motivation to failure, confidence and career transitions, she shares the research that changed her own mind about achievement.

Tim and Angela discuss:
- Why trying harder isn't always the answer
- How your environment shapes your success
- Why failure feels so personal — and how to recover from it

This episode is all about how you can get ahead. By learning to play, and win the games that we all know are there, but nobody talks about.

Tim meets Will Storr - an award-winning British author, investigative journalist, and narrative researcher, who’s an expert in two key things: Status and Storytelling.

They discuss the ways we can recognise and leverage status to get where we want at work, and even beyond that in our personal and everyday lives.

Maybe you’ve not thought about either in your career - but Will’s here to explain why they make up the fundamentals of how we interact with everyone around us.

Tim and Will discuss:

Work is not just about being good at your job. It is about being heard, building influence, and knowing how to navigate the people around you.

In this episode, Alastair Campbell shares what decades at the highest levels of power taught him about influence, communication, and getting things done. From working alongside Tony Blair to shaping messages that cut through, he has seen first hand why some people get their way and others get ignored.

This is not about spin or manipulation. It is about understanding how influence really works and how you can use it in your own career.

We cover how to influence when you are not in charge, why being right is often not enough, and how to get people to back your ideas. Alastair also explains how to handle power dynamics at work, deal with difficult personalities, and say what needs to be said even when it is uncomfortable.

If you have ever felt overlooked, frustrated, or unsure how to make an impact at work, this episode will give you the tools to change that.
