Hey everyone! We’re so excited by the response to this episode. So just a quick reminder to say if you're new here, don’t forget to hit that subscribe button to help support us our journey on TH-cam and help us continue bringing on amazing guests like Deborah! Deborah was fantastic, and we’re so glad you're enjoying the podcast!
Please stop with the intro snippets, we are getting sick of it - you try to skip to where it actually begins then can't find it. This is TH-cam, not American TV
It is annoying. Its like watching an advert for something you've already decided to watch. A lot of the time if its got stupid sensational music backing or cliffhangers I downvote the video, block the channel and find something else to watch.
When my dad was a salemen for arcade machines in the UK he had the pleasure of sharing a dinner eith Deborah. He said that she is a very kind and genuine down to earth woman. What you see of her on TV, the seriousness and proffesionalism still exsists but she is able to switch off and just talk to you even if your a lower or middle class person on your level.
She is such an interesting person, not afraid to tell you the hard parts, because they are usually the most valuable to learn from. She is a successful business person because she is always evolving her approach, whilst staying charming and strong. Brilliant interview, she's an inspiration ❤
My one friend said his father was never home and was always working. They even seldom went away altogether as a whole family for holidays. He said his father had a very successful business, however said that for years his mother was lonely and he and his siblings would have valued having more time with him than all the wealth. There needed to be a balance between family time and work.
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. I love how much Deborah laughs. Love that she cares about things too and that money although important as an enabler, isn’t the be all and end all.
I loved this interview so much! Deborah has always been my favourite dragon and the interviewers were great because they allowed Deborah to give full answers and also contributed insightful views of their own ❤
She's wonderful and I hope her book gets into the curriculum. I wish when I was a kid there were people like her campaigning for finance to be taught in schools. I hope the government makes the change soon.
Hello from Ontario Canada, I'm in my 50's and I too wish there were people like her, school didn't teach a thing about finance, jobs and pension, property for a place to live or investment. Myself and at least 4 friends all have stories about a chance to buy a property but knowing nothing about severing land, the future in the area etc. I turned down a family property near Canada's largest nuclear plant 25 years ago for 275k a couple purchased it, severed the land into 3 and sold all three 2 years later for 890k. We were young, knew nothing
with the production quality put into this you would never think this was from a channel with only 2k subscribers. amazing job guys. one thing i would say is if you could add timestamps
Well said, as a poor but not short of brains young lad I always thought at( secondary school) that they should teach young kids about banking , mortgages, how to apply and pay back a loan, how a business dies and should work... and all we ever learnt was Romans and vikings and Australian sheep farms and cavemen and women.... so sad . But they don't really want educated secondary school kids knowing all this stuff unless your privately educated.....so sad
My favourite Dragon of all time, hands down. She is the definition of class and morality with a BS detector like no other. I pity anyone who manages to get on the wrong side of her!
New sub here, that was excellent! Deborah is a good sport and has a healthy attitude to life and business. She reminded me of the story of "The fisherman and The Businessman" success is important but all is relevant to what kind of life we need or want. Her advice on financial conversation with kids and how important the value of money is, the good, the bad and the ugly.
Fair play lads,you got a great channel and Deborah obviously believes in you. Hope you go from strength to strength,I’ve been running my channel for around the same time as yours and know how hard it is to get noticed,new sub right here
Don't forget your family for years while you are building your empires, which you say is "for my family". A good balance between work and family is necessary.
Incredible setup & podcast. Very inspirational to listen to Deborah and dig underneath the "Dragon" also very helpful to hear both of your opinions. You've earned a subscription from a hopeful entrepreneur 😊
Just sent off on ebay for 2 signed copies of Deborahs New book for my elder Grandaughters christmas presents , am sure that they will love these as one is an avid reader and another at college and hopefully some good wise words from Debbie, good video.
Trouble with a lot of businesses on the high st look tired especially restaurants ,cafes.......I think thats why Primark does well all the stores are airy,bright, clean and modern....IMHO...
Depends on your perspective. I would say we make our own luck, Deborah walking into the store to ask for the head of franchise is a perfect example of that. Ceasing opportunities where others would walk on .
Success comes much easier when you come from a wealthy background. Her parents business was already very successful when she took it over and that is of course where she made her money. Of course, people like this will often not focus on this too much but talk about the other bits instead, especially when you profit from gambling. I would rather hear from someone who comes from nothing like Alan Sugar not yet another spoilt over achiever.

You do not see that James was arrogant, rude and very nasty to people he made deals with, nothing like he was on camera. 78% of the deals made on tv as we watch do not happen after the show, the dragons are all paid exactly the same and it is a lot to be on the show, so many things really
She has refused a few deals down ro especially ethical things, lets just say the older Deborah is a lot more green 💚 extremely green nd she gets on my nerves a little with it, but untill recently ive always loved Deborah on dragons den, just society is shit these days 😂😂
Chris is doing too much, let her speak and answer the questions in her own words. Liked it when Dan pushed her on dragons potentially taking too much equity in the name of being a dragon investor and having connections
Saya puyeng muter muter biar aparat polisi sajah jgn kesayah terus saya udh di pihak pemerintah dan aparat hukum Gpilotnya udh tdk handling mafia karena banyak di curangi dan di tipu mereka ...saya kira bisa merubah tetapi tetap sajah tdk akan berubah maka sayah pindah haluan ke pemerintah dan aparat hukum 100% Gpilotnya
Bullony, they’re always vague with their beginnings. What was the lesson learned from the Italian company that bypassed her to go straight to the stores, was Deborah born into a wealthy family?? Rubbish podcasts and deceiving, no real advise nor realistic.
Great idea shocked it hasn't been done years ago or if not a book just something yanno it's really poor our school curriculum and the absolute shite Weare taught as young uns
I will watch this in full when I get chance. I like Deborah, she's great. The book sounds great, I could see the value of it because I home school and I would say the a huge proportion of our daily lessons revolve around numeracy and the value of money, budgeting, saving etc x

Amen
It shows interesting parts that make me want to see these parts.

😂😂😂 “it’s not American tv”
Always skip a minute rule of thumb.. But I agree this ain't American TV
I love how she's done this interview with a very small TH-cam channel. Makes her even more of a legend! Good job guys and Deb.
Thank you!
Don’t ever call her Deb to her face!
@@paulbrown6464I’d call her D
They pay
@@paulbrown6464 haha

Thank you for your kind words and your feedback, we will certainly look to do this! Glad you enjoyed the pod👍
God the sponsorships were doing my headin in this video. Thank you for the upload though.
I really admire Deborah.
Yes we need Financial Literacy as a subject in schools :)

Great episode! Deborah Meaden is a living legend and a national treasure. So much wisdom and she shares it so clearly!
She was great wasn't she! Glad you enjoyed it👍
just got it ordered, great work

What a cracking interview guys and Deborah really is a class act. 👍
Thanks Sean! She really is🙌
Just sent off on ebay for 2 signed copies of Deborahs New book for my elder Grandaughters christmas presents , am sure that they will love these as one is an avid reader and another at college and hopefully some good wise words from Debbie, good video.
Very good conversation. I love Deborah Meaden and I don't care who knows!
"I love the power that numbers give me"
well done gents getting Deborah on your channel while only having just over 2k subs, very well done
Thanks Ste! She was great wasnt she?
Debbie seems like a very cool person.
Super professional setup guys, well done!
Thank you Kiara!😀
The power of having other things to care about is very interesting
i ADORE her!
Enjoyed this. Great channel. New sub. ❤
Thank you!🙌
Was it Rachel Elnaugh that went bust before Deborah was on it?
Yes
Bought out by Peter and Theo who turned it around
Trouble with a lot of businesses on the high st look tired especially restaurants ,cafes.......I think thats why Primark does well all the stores are airy,bright, clean and modern....IMHO...
Love Deborah, seems such a modest charming lady.
So business is just about being in the right place at the right time and luck
Yeah if youre in the wrong place at the wrong time with no luck 👎

Success comes much easier when you come from a wealthy background. Her parents business was already very successful when she took it over and that is of course where she made her money. Of course, people like this will often not focus on this too much but talk about the other bits instead, especially when you profit from gambling. I would rather hear from someone who comes from nothing like Alan Sugar not yet another spoilt over achiever.
Anyone just got Deborah's words? Less than a minute in and we're hearing about the life of Chris
success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal - earl knightingale
Why are they both so obsessed with Steven Barclay? Does he sponsor them or the show? First time watching these guys and I was quite intrigued
No but both Chris and Dan know Steven and he was a guest many years ago (his first ever podcast). Dan was also on Diary of a CEO.
@ thanks I’ll check out the podcast
Love this woman ❤

Deborah has always my favourite dragon ❤
My favourite Dragon 100%
Debbie patent meaden is my favourite dragon ❤
Uh oh….Debbie!!
Loved this one!
2.08k how many followers? 2008? Is that correct?
Too many adverts! I have TH-cam premium ffs!
Deborah should of been the only focus on this. First time here, Leave the worst adverts i have ever seen , either at the start or the end.
Thanks for your feedback Brian!

I’m scared of women and it’s all thanks to Deborah
She has refused a few deals down ro especially ethical things, lets just say the older Deborah is a lot more green 💚 extremely green nd she gets on my nerves a little with it, but untill recently ive always loved Deborah on dragons den, just society is shit these days 😂😂
She never took a risk
toooooooooo many adverts:- turn off:
Adverts within adverts, or how to ruin an interview so viewers click off 🤦♂️
Complete click bait at the start.
Too many adverts
Chris is doing too much, let her speak and answer the questions in her own words. Liked it when Dan pushed her on dragons potentially taking too much equity in the name of being a dragon investor and having connections
Brilliant!
Thanks Ian!👍
so her first businesses were through ex boyfriends, then she joined her parents' enterprise - not exactly self made..
Think you have manipulated the stories a bit there😂😂
Saya puyeng muter muter biar aparat polisi sajah jgn kesayah terus saya udh di pihak pemerintah dan aparat hukum Gpilotnya udh tdk handling mafia karena banyak di curangi dan di tipu mereka ...saya kira bisa merubah tetapi tetap sajah tdk akan berubah maka sayah pindah haluan ke pemerintah dan aparat hukum 100% Gpilotnya
Great guest terrible adverts.
Deborah needs an of
Why are we glazing elon musk ew wtf
She has enough money to feed hungry people of the UK
3 sponsors in an hour long video. Don’t be greedy. Won’t be watching again unless it’s a guest equally as interesting
Deborah has a dirty laugh !!!
So basically her parents set her up…..
which is fine
@ of course though it slightly takes the gloss off for me personally. Much prefer Theo Paphitis story
Bullony, they’re always vague with their beginnings. What was the lesson learned from the Italian company that bypassed her to go straight to the stores, was Deborah born into a wealthy family?? Rubbish podcasts and deceiving, no real advise nor realistic.
Mutton as lamb
so her family was rich already lol “self made”. no wonder she has always had such a cocky attitude
Very full of herself.
Great idea shocked it hasn't been done years ago or if not a book just something yanno it's really poor our school curriculum and the absolute shite Weare taught as young uns
I will watch this in full when I get chance. I like Deborah, she's great.
The book sounds great, I could see the value of it because I home school and I would say the a huge proportion of our daily lessons revolve around numeracy and the value of money, budgeting, saving etc x
