I was in a bit of a muddle a couple of years ago, struggling with my business and was inspired by alifes story, after emailing him he contacted me personally on the phone and spoke to me for a good 20 minutes, top bloke and really appreciated he took the time to speak to me👍🏻 great podcast
Never worry about failing in business, Peter Jones went from broke to millionaire 3 times over. It can happen to anyone for no fault of your own either. Hope you back on track with business.
Spoke to alfie the other day on the phone, i bought a lodge in one of his parks and sent him a message on Instagram regarding the purchase and alfie took time out of his day and replied to me and called me the next day, being a young entrepeneur this gave me such a positive boost of energy, alfie explained he has time for all his residents especially young lads trying to make it. Thats special coming from a billionaire, What a great guy. was a pleasure talking to you alfie
What an absolutely brutally honest, fascinating & inspirational man. I could quite honestly sit and talk/listen to him for hours and I know I’d walk away and achieve anything I put my mind to. Fantastic interview James! All the very best Alfie and family ☮️💟
I like Alfie. He offers a practical philosophy which comes from life experience & a willingness to learn. A clear communicator too. A grounded, wise man
James, possibly your best interview yet. Alfie Best Snr is a fascinating man & inspirational and his story and advice is incredible. What a brilliant interview by both of you 👏🏼
Alfie and his son I cannot get enough of. They teach and inspire me so much. Need more people like themselves in this world to help others believe they can achieve anything they want from any background. The stuff you take away from them speaking out is priceless. I’m forever grateful and for you James for having a platform that brings people like these on to your channel. Thank you guys 🔥🔥
Thanks James, another top quality podcast from simply the best interviewer on the internet, always polite and charming and always lets the guest speak. Your good manners and human decency shine through all your work.
Going to be honest I've never heard of this guy before but his advice is golden, another quality podcast James 👏👏 bringing us real people with genuine and interesting stories to tell
Wow, just wow, what an interview and what a guy,, never listened to someone's words so closely, very intelligent fella. Top class james well done to you too lad
I have watched hundreds of podcasts from various podcasters, probably over fifty of yours, James, and I have NEVER commented on a single one. BUT, I feel I must for all those who wish to launch their own business, as Alfie gives some of the best advice I have seen on any podcast to date. Watch the full podcast, but take note at the following times: 23 mins 32 secs Fear- you can allow fear to drive you or drown you. 33 mins 02 secs Advice- [supposed] advice from a woman telling Alfie he had made a bad investment buying a holiday park regarding collecting a small amount of money from a lot of people. How wrong she was!!! 39 mins 56secs One of the worst things that happened to Alfie, as a millionaire 20-year-old, but best lesson- where he had to sell his Porsche 911 convertible, rent the £550k house out, move off his work pitch and break up his work units for rent. He then slept in the back of his escort van on a mattress. He did what was needed to do to get out of negative equity. A great lesson on financial restructuring. 44 mins 40 secs What makes a good businessman?- 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration. (I think sector experience is an essential element to be added here) 1hr 00 mins 58 secs DON’T ‘fake it until you make it' Definitely the joint best podcast I have seen you do, along with the first Marvin Herbert one ruclips.net/video/Oh7X2EVH8W0/видео.html. This Alfie Best podcast is by far the best that is business-related though. Please get more entrepreneurs on like Alfie.
Well spotted mate👌something I’ve tried and can’t do without feeling hypocritical is “fake it till I make it” It riddles me with guilt. Best to be comfortable with what your growing through than go through it with no lessons learned. Wise man Chris mate👊✌️
This man is a very clever man I’ve took a lot in from what he’s said James very very smart man we could all be successful going of what advice he has given if you want to put yourself out there and getting to it he’s a genuine honest fella great podcast mate well done 👍🏻 more podcast on this type of level would be great for you James 💯
This is without any form of DOUBT The BEST Podcast I've ever had the privilege to Listen to and watch . What a Truthful and Inspiring Wise Man . Alfie should give talks in schools, His Integrity and drive is mind blowingly Honest Thoughtful and True
What an amazingly inspirational man and a great interview. I am pretty much the same age as Alfie , worked really hard all my life and in comparison haven’t got a pot to piss in, if only I could have listened to this interview 30 years ago.
Best podcast yet James. What a wise old feller Alfie is. Real true inspiration and you can apply his lessons to anything in life! Looking forward to watching his young un's episode now 😀
Loved this interview. Have watched in twice today lol. Respect to Alfie. Very humble Guy and love his work ethic and reflection. You always pick great guests James
What a great interview 👏 Never heard of Alfie snr until I watch a interview with Alfie jur. Two top educational people with lots of knowledge. Top work James 👌
Absolutely mind blowing podcast. Great interview. Alfie Best deserves to be the British PM. Down to earth self made cool and logical. His vision for affordable housing all over the world is awe inspiring and exactly what we need in this world. Also the vision to cure dementia is absolutely amazing. God bless the Bests and thankyou James for bringing in great people to your podcasts. Keep it going
35:52 the truest statement. There’s no such thing as a bad business, a business that doesn’t do well is just poorly executed by whoever is managing it.
The fact he’s made his £ and still going. Never got sidetracked with all the bullshit and his own “new” bullshit which comes with the £. Absolute gentleman. Having a coffee and chat with this man would be most calming real conversation you’ll have. Inspirational. Not one ounce of ignorance in his body
What an interesting man Alfie Best is!! I watched a documentary on him, he's amazing! ❤ I could listen to him all day. He doesn't use the same old clichés we've all heard before he is so original. ❤
Knowing Alfie quite well, i can honestly say he gave me advice one day that changed my life...he put me on a good track. He is grounded and some one i do look up to, certainly one of the most intelligent people i have ever had the good fortune to meet.

Nice one James. Just been reading about Alfie. Massive respect for what he’s achieved. And your self brother. Doing excellent James. Another level your on now big fella. Be well proud of your self and the direction you’re growing👌⭐️💯God bless you both🙏🌍💚✌️
A lot of top advice and wisdom there. As Gordon Gekko said in the film Wall Street "Gimme guys who are poor smart and hungry. Those Harvard MBA types don't add up to dog shit". A stellar guest there James.
I think this is your best interview to date, this man is the same Age as me...the way he dug deep in the 90 resscion, from having the feeling of walking on water and being invisible was his grounding and shaping to be an inspiring human being 🙏 in 9
