The first ever episode of the Inspire Me podcast with our main host STEPHEN OLEXY.
Stephen tells his unbelievable story of how whilst having to sign on at the Job centre he wrote visons down to work with A list celebrities and ultimately producing world class events with them. Stephen had no idea how that was going to happen but through pure determination and passion he carved out a career working with some of the biggest names in the world including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Jean Claude Van Damme, Mel Gibson, Conor McGregor, Mike Tyson and many others.
Stephen created the brand 'An Experience With' and took the brand to unbelievable heights producing events all over the UK plus taking the brand to the USA in 2022 with Sylvester Stallone in LA. On the back of his success he created an unbelievable relationship with Arnold Schwarzenegger, creating 7 successful events with him over the years, earning amazing testimonials from the man himself including going into partnership and giving Stephen the rights to produce the Arnold Sports Festival in the UK for the first time ever in 2021. The event was unbelievable and a total sell out of 60,000 attendees.
Stephen will discuss about Arnold's failure to attend 2 years running which ultimately lead to the demise of the event under his ownership. Stephen talks about how business mistakes he made under severe pressure in 2016/17 has ended up him being sent to prison 7 years later!
Charges were brought and pushed by the insolvency Service and upon sentencing the judge ignored 4 pages of mitigation to send Stephen to prison for 27 months. Stephen served 7.5 months and is now out and was released on the 22nd March.
The comeback is underway and he is thankful all celebrity agents he works with have stuck by him. Stephen has big plans with this new podcast 'Inspire Me' and is working with his team for new amazing future events to be announced very soon. Its been a crazy journey and this is a MUST WATCH podcast!!!
