Money, Masculinity and More, Rob Moore - host of the Disruptors podcast
Rob Moore, a multi-millionaire, property developer, and the host of the Disruptors podcast.
He's known for his unfiltered opinions and controversial takes, and in this episode, we dive into them.
We discuss:
Money mindset
Interviewing Andrew Tate
His views on Feminism, Masculinity and Misogyny
If you want to see an intense discussion on the topics mentioned, then tune in. If you have some thoughts yourself, I want to hear them too. (Are people like Rob dangerous - or just delusional?)

Customer Reviews
Thoughtful and inspiring !
It was such a pleasure discovering your podcast through your recent interview with Angela Cretu, one of the woman leaders I admire the most.
I’m now delving into your other episodes and I wanted to congratulate you for your fantastic podcast and share words of encouragement. Many interview leaders but very few do it well and authentically so the leaders feel comfortable opening up like Angela did with you.
