    From a 13-year-old immigrant who couldn't speak English to building a £2.5 billion hotel empire, Surinder Arora's story is nothing short of extraordinary. He joins Rob to share his journey from working as a waiter and British Airways clerk to becoming one of the UK's most successful hoteliers. With candid revelations about near bankruptcy, family sacrifice, and the importance of maintaining humility despite immense wealth, Arora gives his experiences and thoughts on business resilience, property investment, and the true meaning of success.

    Surinder Arora REVEALS:

    • How four houses bought for £161,000 in 1993 evolved into a hotel worth £50+ million
    • How he survived the major financial crisis in 2008 when his company nearly collapsed
    • How he outmanoeuvred British Airways and Heathrow Airport
    • Why he developed his business philosophy from his mother's wisdom: "Never buy your name or reputation" and "Be a farmer, not a hunter"
    • Why he maintains a strong commitment to diversity and inclusion in his business

    BEST MOMENTS

    "My dear mom used to say, son, in life, you can never buy your name or your reputation. So always be a farmer and not hunter. Don't just go for a quick kill. Don't miss sell. Don't cheat people."

    "Life is like a wave. A lot of people will say they're winners when you're on top of the hill. In my world, the real winners are down in the valleys."

    "I want to treat all the guests like royalty, and my staff like family."

    "Never expect for life to just be in a straight line... since I started the business, you know, we've had valleys and hills. We had 9/11, then we had 7/7 then we had the 2008 financial crisis."

    "We are all on this planet and we come with nothing. We're going to go with nothing."
