About this episode
Kevin O’Leary, famously known as "Mr. Wonderful," is an entrepreneur, investor, and TV personality who has made his mark through no-nonsense business wisdom. From his early days on Dragon’s Den to his current success with Shark Tank and ventures like WonderCare and O’Leary Fine Wines, Kevin has continuously challenged conventional thinking and emphasized the value of discipline, results, and accountability. His leadership philosophy is rooted in telling hard truths, setting measurable goals, and inspiring both seasoned and aspiring entrepreneurs to compete and thrive—making him a true blueprint for business success. Takeaways: Results Matter Most: Kevin believes that business is binary—you’re either making money or losing it. Success is measured by tangible outcomes, not good intentions. Discipline Over Desire: Ambition is common, but only those who embrace discipline and the founder’s mindset will survive the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Embrace Risk, Avoid Consultants: Real business growth comes from decision-makers who bear risk, not consultants who offer advice without consequence. Kevin advocates partnering with those who are willing to be paid on results—not just opinions. Sound Bites: “All those people that told me I couldn't do it, fuck you. That's how I feel about it.” “You’re not trying to win friends in business. You’re trying to have people respect you. And the way they respect you is you deliver results.” “Consultants all go to hell. I mean, I feel so sorry for them.” Connect & Discover Kevin: LinkedIn : @/kevinolearytv X: @kevinolearytv Website : kevinoleary.com Instagram : @kevinolearytv Facebook: @kevinolearytv 🔥 Ready to Unleash Your Inner Game-Changer? 🔥 Mick Hunt’s BEST SELLING book , How to Be a Good Leader When You’ve Never Had One: The Blueprint for Modern Leadership , is here to light a fire under your ambition and arm you with the real-talk strategies that only Mick delivers. 👉 Grab your copy now and level up your life → Amazon , Barnes & Noble , Books A Million FOLLOW MICK ON: Spotify: MickUnplugged Instagram: @mickunplugged Facebook : @mickunplugged YouTube: @MickUnpluggedPodcast LinkedIn: @mickhunt Website : MickHuntOfficial.com Apple : MickUnplugged Learn more about your ad choices.
