124 - A Fathers Day Message
I went live on Fathers Day to share a personal story… about why I am not a day… yet.
Over the past 4 years, my soon to be ex-wife and I had 5 miscarriages and it broke our relationship.
An organisation that helped us was Tommys, based at Birmingham women’s hospital who’s purpose is to support those families going through miscarriages.
So I wanted to share a link for those who can, to support them to give more support to those who are struggling to deal with the loss of a child before they even had the chance to meet them.

112 - How to Live the Laptop Lifestyle with Leon Gorman - The Property Engineer
Today I get to welcome Leon Gorman, better known to many as the property engineer, to the Game of Loans podcast!
One of the reasons it’s been tough to get Leon on, is that he, and his other half Libby, have been in south east Asia for a number of months living the “laptop lifestyle”.
Leon is a prolific networker, so I couldn’t let him come on the show without giving his tips on this, however the main focus is how he managed to successful run… and grow… his property sourcing and rent to SA business whilst being abroad full time.
This is an episode not to be missed!

106 - Mortgage Q&A joined by Shanelle Edwards!
105 - Add VALUE to Create a Better BUSINESS!
The answer used to be to undercut the opposition, but that just leads to a race to the bottom.

This is my topic for todays podcast so listen in to how I’m trying to use this strategy in my business, Grand Union Finance, and how you can do the same for yours!
