About the show

The inspiration for this podcast series came from a lack of a specific knowledge-gaining platform in the UK property market, as most entrepreneurs and landlords primarily speak about their success and achievements on other property podcast platforms. We are here to learn and pass on knowledge to our audience, by learning from one another’s mistakes (especially early on in their career)
