Roei Samuel: Sold at 26, And It Didn't Fix Me
<p>Roei Samuel sold his first company at 26 and became a millionaire overnight. By his own account it didn't fix a single thing he thought it would.</p><p>He sits down with Rachel to talk about the burnout, the self-medication, being 120 days sober, and why the feeling of being enough never showed up the day the deal closed. Then the business he's building now, Connectd, and his case that full-time employment has stopped meaning safety.</p><p>Find Roei Samuel on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/roei-samuel" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">LinkedIn</a> and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/roeisam" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Instagram</a> </p><p>__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thinking about your own exit?

Stop Renting AI. Start Owning It.
<p>Most AI rollouts don't move the P&L. Here's why, and what to do instead.</p><p><br></p><p>Rachel Murphy is joined by Ben Ford: technologist, ex-Royal Marine, and co-founder of Grafter AI. Ben taught himself Python on a boat to Iraq in 2003, has built national platforms, and ran Mission Control rebuilding internal systems for founders before ChatGPT 3.5 even launched.</p><p><br></p><p>This conversation is for founders running £3m to £30m businesses who are sick of being told to roll out Copilot and call it a strategy. We get into why generic AI tools don't shift your margin, the unit economics shift that just made bespoke software cheaper than buying SaaS, and how Grafter AI builds tech that lives on your balance sheet, not someone else's.</p><p><br></p><p>Grafter AI is the new service from The Grafter, built for founders who want AI working inside their P&L. Not bolted on top of their stack. We map your business, find the work eating your margin, and build the tech that makes it disappear. You own it from day one.</p><p>Join the waitlist: <a href="https://thegrafter.ai?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=episode&utm_campaign=benford" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">thegrafter.ai</a></p><p><br></p><p>Follow Ben on LinkedIn <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/commandodev/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/commandodev/</a></p><p>__________________________________________________________</p><p><strong>Not sure where you stand on exit readiness?</strong></p><p>Take The Grafter's free Exit Readiness Scorecard: <a href="https://scorecard.thegrafter.com/?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=episode&utm_campaign=benford" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://scorecard.thegrafter.com/</a></p><p>__________________________________________________________</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Find Rachel Murphy:</strong></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-murphy-thegrafter/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachel-murphy-thegrafter/</a></p><p>Instagram: instagram.com/thegraft3r</p><p>Website: <a href="https://thegrafter.com?utm_source=spotify&utm_medium=episode&utm_campaign=benford" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://thegrafter.com</a></p><p>__________________________________________________________This podcast episode was produced by Jo Brown and The Grafter</p>
