Maybe you're here having read Rhys and Lewellyn Davies's posts today listing all their "achievements" and thinking, wow, these guys are the real deal. Weeeell, maybe not....
Don't pay them any money for advice, that's for sure.
A quick breakdown/fact check of the claims. Boring, but necessary.
Not hating on them for the sake of it, but apparently they're all about transparency and congruency, unless it's applied to them and they're actually called out on the bullshit...
That pic of him with the Lambo? Doesn't have it any more. Only on his drive for a few weeks. Leased around the time bounceback loans were being made available. Not purchased. Repossessed, presumably.
Former Professional Footballer – Nope. Part of a youth development team. Never as an adult. Never pro.
Former International Amateur Boxer
Former Professional Boxer - the boxing was limited to a few fights between 2008-2011, in the Midlands. Boxing's hard, for sure. But they made no impact on the sport
Actor – nope. An extra. On a couple of things. Which is basically a few days work.
WWE Wrestling Finalist
Former Fitness Model – not in any real sense. No proper brand campaigns or editorial.
Former Competitive Bodybuilder – true, but essentially meaningless. “Competitive” just means entering an amateur comp. Any runner entering a weekend marathon is “competitive” in that sense.
Literally all the below is meaningless – these aren’t anything more than turning up for a private short-term course and essentially buying a certificate at the end of it. Not professional, recognised qualifications – even without getting into a debate about the woowoo nonsense claims of the effectiveness of NLP…

International Key Note speaker – I think they did a couple of talks in South Africa and the US several years ago. That’s it.
CEO of Multiple Companies – HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA.
Nope. Calling yourself a CEO when all you’ve done is register some company names and you’re essentially just self-employed is embarrassing. But then if you never deal with ACTUAL CEOs I suppose you wouldn't be embarrassed.
The UK’s most in demand COACH – not even worth addressing. But if you were in demand, you’d have clients.
Literally all the “worked alongside of” stuff is, basically a single event. James Burtt getting Cardone on a podcast one day is hardly “working alongside” him. Being non-speaking extras in an ad that starred Nicole Kidman is hardly “working alongside” her.
“Working alongside” might be a few weeks/months working on joint projects, developing campaigns together etc – not a few hours spent in their company.
Worked alongside LES BROWN
Worked alongside GRANT CARDONE
Worked alongside ELENA CARDONE
Worked alongside NICOLE KIDMAN
Worked alongside Russel Kane
Worked alongside Triple H (WWE)
Worked alongside The Undertaker (WWE)

SOLD OUT 64 Events 2019 – thanks to James Burtt. And it was four years ago, since which there's been naff-all in terms of clients, events, turnover, profits or anything.
Served for my country - was in the army, apparently true, yep.
PLEASE understand something I WALK THE WALK - I was broke until the age of 31 and up until 7 years ago I had nothing. – This basically means that until Champions of Mind, when you teamed up with James Burtt, you’d achieved nothing. And since he left and COM fell apart, you’ve also done nothing. So not in a position to be giving advice to anyone about success in business.. Or much else.
I NOW can sit you down and speak you through step by step how I’ve made well OVER 7 figures in my coaching brands and businesses and I can also explain how I have launched Multiple 6 figure brands and how combined they also have done over £1.2Million. – No evidence of this. But there is evidence on Companies House of multiple dormant companies, Directors Loans and virtually no capital in any of the “businesses”
