Start Now – How to Turn Ideas into Action
Most people do not fail because they lack ambition. They fail because they never start properly. This talk is about closing the gap between idea and execution. Drawing from Alberto’s own entrepreneurial journey, as well as from his conversations with some of the world’s leading founders on Thriving Minds, Start Now explores the principles that help people stop overthinking, build momentum, and take meaningful action. It is especially relevant for students, aspiring entrepreneurs, founder communities, and organisations looking to develop a more entrepreneurial mindset within their teams.
Leadership at Scale – What Growth Really Demands from a Founder
Starting a business and scaling one are two completely different challenges. In this talk, Alberto shares the real leadership lessons behind building one of the UK’s fastest growing companies from zero to more than £20 million in revenue. He speaks openly about hiring, culture, pressure, decision making, leadership maturity, and the personal evolution required to grow a business without losing control of it. This is a highly relevant session for founders, executives, management teams, and organisations navigating growth, complexity, and change.
Energise – How to Sustain High Performance Without Burning Out
In modern business, the real challenge is not only performing at a high level, but sustaining that performance over time. In Energise, Alberto draws on both personal experience and insights from his conversations with leading experts in sleep, neuroscience, cardiology, nutrition, gut health, and performance to explore how ambitious people can protect their energy, health, focus, and emotional resilience. This talk is particularly relevant for corporate audiences, leadership offsites, and teams looking to improve performance while taking burnout, wellbeing, and sustainable success seriously.
