“A guy that Morals. No, as a guy had beliefs and stayed true to it, whether it was right or wrong. I want people to know when I've had a discussion with him or they've met me is that everything I've said there and then is actually what he believes. You might not agree with it, and that's cool. I am cool with that, but you know where you stand with Luke Massey. You know he's honestly speaking from the heart and he's not got an agenda. That's who he is. And I'll give the right feedback at the right time. And he's not. It's just, if you're asking me for something, I'll give it you. And, you know, honesty.

“And if you were to ask Frankie and my partner, she'd probably say that that is the number one issue that she has with me, which is I don't tell my problems. And then she'll see it. And it's like, what? You've been going through that. And it's like, well, yeah, but.”

“So I made sure that they knew they were loved and things were fine, and mum's just going for a bad time. So that then was straight away from an early age. And as I said, I think then every challenge you go through then, it just toughens you up and toughens.”

“One thing I would say is I'm probably cold in terms of some relationships. Emotionally, because something bad's coming, something bad's going to happen. So even from a young age, you become a heart. So, you know, when my mum had serious depression when I was younger and even child service agency nearly came in at one point, it was that bad is that I protected my brother and sisters.”

“Right, so one of our biggest things is. We take on the responsibility of everything that goes on. So I'm talking there about protecting my mum from things I make sure I go out of my way to make sure that she doesn't hear the bad things because that would hurt her. But you do it for your staff.

“There was confusion, anger as a young lad, you're still trying to figure yourself out. You're going through preview, you're growing up, et cetera. And there was all this. And then, and also, which is worth pointing out, is you love sin, my personal brand and personal message. When I was 17, 18, 19, and I was trying to start this option, you'd see me in shirts and ties and suits. And because I was trying to portray this picture. Thinking that I was just, you know, this, and it actually got to a stage where I started thinking, you know what? What am I hiding from here? Why am I embarrassed? This is it. And it's probably a massive part of my story. And, you know, it's what drives me. It's who I am. So why hide from it?”

“Yeah, my whole life. So it's for me. So when I was younger, I was very aggressive towards it. You could probably tell my character. I was confused. I didn't understand why. I would come home and one day you'd get my mummy was up and the house was clean and then some days you'd get my mum's been in bed for three days because she's depressed and she can't face the world. And I just couldn't understand it. Because I didn't suffer from depression and I don't suffer from depression”

“So, yeah, I think it's becoming Holland to it and just, you know, doesn't. But for my mum's point of view, she doesn't understand what I do. And my mum is an alcoholic. She's in that place where I'm just a son and it doesn't matter what happens. I'm still a son. And I think she's happy for me. Yeah, it's about protecting her and knowing that I think my mum blames a lot of things that have happened in our life down to her, especially external circumstances.”

“Knows the truth. Yeah, and she's extremely supportive, and she knows that my actions have always said who I am. Yeah, exactly. And how I go about things there today, how I support things, you know. Anyone who knows me, even without seeing those headlines, sent me a message because they know me as a character. They know whatever's gone on, Luke, don't really need to know the detail. It'll be cool. That's the sort of thing. Yeah, they know me”

“And I think I need to put fast forward. I've got some key staff coming to business. For me, it's just stepping back operationally, even if it's just for getting the head out of the clouds and just seeing things from a different perspective, I think will help things.”

“That's what probably scares me. That's probably what drives me. And it's not that enough is enough for me. It's that because I've craved stability all my life. It's probably getting to that place where even if this failed, or even if this failed, everything would be fine. And I don't know whether I'll ever get to that stage, like you're saying, and maybe you're a year ahead on that.”

“This is another hard question. I don't know. I don't know. I think what was driving me to get up and do the milk round when I was 13 years old. I don't know. I think for me Settling or thinking that you're there, or I don't know, it's such a tough one. I think for me, it's just an internal drive.”

“I don't know. I'm trying to find it. It sounds to me like you've had a lot of time to think about this because you've probably been asked it a lot more than me. This is the first time I've been asked it and I probably don't really have the straight answer to it. I think for me it's.”

“That's good to see. It is good to see, and I think there's a lot of people that follow you and are influenced by you. And, you know, not just because I'm saty, but I think you are some that people should listen to and be influenced by the correct influencer. Love Island starts next week and people are influenced by the wrong things. Definitely, and I think you're in that position now where you are paying back even this podcast. I think you're spending your time now. I'm spending time now trying to give back. And I think that's important. And the journeys I've been on, even the last six months, I think it's really important because if you can just help that one person, you know, you would tell me about another business that you've been involved in and it was some that was actually part of your competition. I mean, that's just insane.”

“Yeah, and a lot of my friends in stable jobs and stable agencies have that, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that because I don't think everyone is. For me, I think it's. Again, all I've ever done in my life is ask why. And I think what I'd do if I did that is I'd be asking myself every single morning why. Why am I going and doing this? And I'd then probably get to the answer, which is it's giving me money. Or it's allowing me to go on that holiday. So then I'd say to myself, well, how could I do that anywhere by doing something I wanted? And I'd always keep coming around back at that same question. It'd probably come back to freedom, being able to live life on my own terms. You know, however, I do things might not be the right way, but I'm going to give it a go in Luke Massey's way.”

“I'm sure Know it's one of those at the end of the day, I think it works for me stability at home, in home life. I think then it gives you that rock. So when you are going through these turbulent times. Got that other person that's going, yeah, but Luke, so what? You know, it's like, and then it's like you've said you've got to then live in the moment and reflect and go, do you know what? Look where I actually am. Is what you know what's the worst that can happen? I go back to living in a councillor state I've come from that. That's fine. We'll go back. My mate's still, it's not a problem.”

“Yeah, it's that stability, and it's without getting the violin or anything. But when I was growing up, I never had a proper Christmas that everyone was around the table. And then I found this girl and I'd go around to her house and that was the family. And I felt myself, well, this is what I wanted.”

“What do you mean? Yeah, what even bother telling you? How do I explain that? Yeah, it is insane, but at the same time, if I was to ask, and I do, what's your problem?

“Mind and then I go home and Luke Massey at home is stable, you know, craves that thing. I go home, go and see my mum frequently do the food shop with her, that sort of thing. And that, I think, is how I've been able to sort of stay grounded to a certain extent. Not that I've gone on and achieved things that I want to yet. I think it just puts perspective on things. I still go into the Ingle Labour Club in Preston, where it's £2 a pint and people playing darts and people pooled. That's Friday night. Because that's where I'm from, you know.”

“I was the eldest. I was looking after my brothers and sisters. I was trying to add stability ever since I was younger. I was the one trying to support my mum through tough times. So I think that stability is a massive thing for me because as an entrepreneur to want stability is quite insane because even as we operate, stability isn't the best for it yet. Exactly. So my life in terms of vibe, in terms of how I approach things is our one process. It's, you know, to a certain extent, it's like the creative.”

As long as there's a level of security, I think looking after my family, I think, you know, and not just security, but even down to my day-to-day decisions. And, you know, I'm a long-term relationship. I've got a stable relationship. And that's something that I've craved from a young age, which is.”

“Right documents in place from a legal point of view, even between you and your co founder. It's like going into a relationship and having a mortgage or whatever it is.

“Even we're three years in. I don't care. Like, go and find the guy that you can show, but he's worth 5%, 10%, 20% equity. Believe me in the long run. Like go and find that guy, go and find that girl. And also, co-founders need to understand what they're getting into as well, which is so many people talk about their coin found. And the co-founders have no value, no value whatsoever. And that's another thing that's interesting. We were having a conversation before this. And that does happen. So yeah, get a co-founder.”

“But in context, it wasn't, if that makes sense. Luke, well, that's really hard, Steve, when people are writing about him. You know what I mean? It's like, but what you're saying is right. And I think having a co founder to share that responsibility because it's sanity as well, which is, I think it would be even 20 times harder if you was the only founder and you have no one to bounce that off. So first of all,”

“It's ridiculous. Like a co-founder, someone you're in the pub with, things are down. Because no one is such a lonely place. It is such a lonely place. And if I have a co-founder, I can go, what about this? What about this? It's not on a none other than it is real context. So even being you now, we can talk about our issues and our challenges. And there might be the same issue, but in different contexts. So the advice that I give you might work for Vibe, but it might not work for social and vice versa, you know. And it then becomes familiarized advice. So you're texting me was brilliant.”

But this is what I'm saying, you know, and hopefully the process I've been through, I'd like to shed some positive light on it, you know, which is lessons were learned.

“And this is the problem. And I've learned from that at the end of the day, naivety, one of the comments that was on LinkedIn was Luke's younger, naive because he's not come out and said something. Okay, fine. You can be entire to that opinion. I was younger naive at 2 Signing a shareholder's agreement, which pretty much meant that I couldn't make the decisions on behalf of the company. The other thing is that shareholders agreement was never challenged at any investment round I've ever been through, including the crowdcube round, who have their own lawyers looking at things. So no alarm bell was ever raised for me that something's wrong here until the final raise when the company's running out of capital.”
