Why does Gabriel Erinle get up at 4.29am?
Gabe is building GAME FM while wife Jenny homeschools their four children.
Amid diving, gymnastics & parkour, he finds time for football & the gym!
He talks rising in the good half of the hour, work-life balance & middle child syndrome
Jonathan Symcox retweeted
This year #Ramadan and #Lent fell on the same day - & Gabriel Erinle is observing both.
The GAME FM founder chose a pub for this interview before he realised he would be #fasting!
It brings him incredible mental focus once he's gotten over the physical tiredness and cravings.

Candy's Cupcakes is 'killing it' on TikTok Shop with its #ValentinesDay products.
Founder Candice Bannister says the short-form video channel now accounts for 30% of its business, with dedicated presenters six days a week.
It now sells 200-300 of its 'cake in a jar' every day
Jonathan Symcox retweeted
Candice Bannister began selling cakes from her home kitchen with a day one budget of just £300.
Now Candy's Cupcakes has 20 staff, a TikTok Shop and is turning over £2m a year.
Candy shows off her 'cake in a box' which fits through your letterbox & went viral during lockdown.

Padel is the new golf!
Powdr founder Joe van Gelder says fast-growing sport #padel is his oasis when not working on his #startup or ferrying his kids around...

£7.8m revenue with TWO STAFF?!
SmartFlows founder Karl Percival says it proved faster to build its own virtual developers than hire them.
He considers the future of work - and society itself - ahead of the impending avalanche of #AI
Jonathan Symcox retweeted
#AI Sym workers don't take holidays... or cost you a salary, or tax... they are loyal... and work whenever needed.
Karl Percival, founder of SmartFlows, 'employs' 250 of the Syms his firm has created - and it has only two human staff... the co-founders
