This week we're diving into Night One of The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga, where a philosopher and a young man begin a five-night conversation that challenges almost everything we think we know about happiness, trauma, confidence and personal change.

Can your past really define your future? Do we choose our behaviours more than we realise? And how much of the story you tell yourself is actually keeping you stuck?

We don't agree with everything in this week's chapters, and that's exactly what makes this discussion so fascinating. Join us as we unpack Adlerian psychology, courage, identity, limiting beliefs and why the life you want might begin with questioning the story you've been living.

🎙️ If you've ever wondered whether change is really possible, this episode is for you.

This week we're wrapping up Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins, diving into the final chapters and reflecting on everything we've learned throughout the month.

We explore Goggins' powerful message around discipline, resilience and pushing beyond your limits... but we also ask some honest questions along the way.

💭 Is relentless discipline always the answer? 💭 Can ambition go too far? 💭 Where do we draw the line between growth and burnout?

In this final episode we discuss: ✨ Why failure can become one of your greatest teachers ✨ The importance of taking ownership of your life ✨ Self-belief versus self-punishment ✨ Finding balance whilst still challenging yourself ✨ What "What if?" really means for your future ✨ The lessons we're taking away... and the ones we'll be leaving behind

As always, we don't just review the book. We share how these ideas relate to our own lives, businesses, relationships and personal growth, giving our honest thoughts on what resonated most with us.

Whether David Goggins inspired you, challenged you, or left you questioning everything, this episode brings together our biggest takeaways from an unforgettable book.

📚 Next Month's Book Club Pick Next month we're diving into one of the most recommended mindset books of recent years...

📖 The Courage to Be Disliked by Ichiro Kishimi & Fumitake Koga

What if true freedom isn't about getting everyone to like you?

Inspired by Adlerian psychology, this book explores confidence, boundaries, people-pleasing, happiness and why so much of our stress comes from worrying about what others think.

If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, saying "no", comparing yourself to others or feeling responsible for everyone else's happiness... this is a book you won't want to miss.

Grab a copy (or listen on Audible) and join us next month as we work through it together, one chapter at a time.

This week we're diving into Chapters 7-9 of Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins, exploring his famous 40% Rule, the power of mindset, and what it really means to become "uncommon amongst the uncommon."

But as always, we don't just summarise the book...

We ask the bigger questions.

💭 Is there a point where ambition costs too much? 💭 Can success become your new comfort zone? 💭 Is balance just an excuse... or is it actually the secret to long-term success?

Along the way we chat about:

The Cookie Jar mindset and pushing beyond what you think you're capable of
Why talent isn't the deciding factor, but consistency might be
The importance of celebrating your wins instead of always chasing the next goal
Accountability coaches... do we really need them?
Time blocking, building better habits and finding time for what matters
Why we've started questioning hustle culture and what balance now looks like for us

We also compare Goggins' philosophy with ideas from books like Atomic Habits, Beyond Wanting and The Let Them Theory, sharing where we agree... and where we respectfully disagree.

🎬 Film recommendation: If you enjoy this discussion, Holly's recommendation is War Machine starring Alan Ritchson, which captures many of the leadership, resilience and military themes we talk about in this episode.

Whether you're training for a marathon, building a business, or simply trying to become a little better than yesterday, this conversation will leave you thinking long after the episode ends.

🎧 Listen now and let us know... Is David Goggins inspiring... or just a little too extreme?

This week we're diving into the next chapters of Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins, exploring resilience, discipline, the famous "Cookie Jar" method, and what it really takes to keep going when your mind is telling you to stop.

But this isn't just a conversation about ultra-endurance.

We share our own honest experiences with ADHD, fitness, business, weight loss, difficult clients, confidence, procrastination, and the small mindset shifts that have helped us push through life's challenges.

Whether you're trying to build healthier habits, grow a business, overcome fear, or simply stay consistent with your goals, this episode is packed with relatable stories and practical takeaways you can start using today.

Because sometimes the biggest battle isn't against the world... It's the conversation happening inside your own head.

This week we begin one of the most recommended books we've ever covered... Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins.

These first 3 opening chapters are raw, emotional and, at times, difficult to hear. We explore David's traumatic childhood, the power of taking accountability, why our past doesn't have to define our future, and how facing uncomfortable truths can become the first step towards real growth.

Along the way, we share our own experiences with therapy, self-sabotage, visibility, confidence, journaling and learning to look ourselves honestly in the mirror. This isn't just a conversation about David Goggins' story. It's about the stories we all tell ourselves... and how we can begin to change them.

If you've ever felt stuck, held back by your past, or wondered what you're truly capable of, this episode is one you won't want to miss. 💙📚

This week we're exploring the final four chapters: ✨ Affirmations ✨ Let Go ✨ Signs ✨ Aligned Action

Together we reflect on the practical exercises Matt has encouraged us to try throughout the month, discuss the biggest lessons we've taken away, and explore how manifestation isn't just about wishing for a different life, but becoming the person who's ready to receive it.

If you've been following along with us this month, this episode brings everything together. And if you're just joining us, it's a wonderful place to discover whether this book deserves a place on your reading list.

📚 Next month we're diving into one of the most powerful mindset books ever written... Can't Hurt Me by David Goggins.

From overcoming childhood trauma and self-doubt to becoming a Navy SEAL, ultra-endurance athlete and one of the toughest people on the planet, David Goggins challenges everything we think we know about our limits.

If you've ever felt held back by fear, excuses or the voice in your head saying "I can't," this book is about proving that you're capable of far more than you realise.

Join us throughout July as we tackle Can't Hurt Me together, one chapter at a time.

We discuss why so many of us know exactly what we don't want, but struggle to get crystal clear on what we do want. We share our own breakthroughs around self-belief, imposter syndrome, celebrating success, and the surprising power of vision boards, meditation, and rewiring old subconscious patterns.

Plus, we reveal how some of the exercises from the book have already started creating real shifts in our lives, from property and business wins to mindset breakthroughs we didn't see coming. 🌟

If you've ever felt stuck, played small, or wondered whether your beliefs are quietly shaping your results, this is an episode you won't want to miss. 📚💙

This week on the Shelf Improvement Podcast, we're diving into the first three chapters of Beyond Wanting by Matt Cooke and already this book has us questioning everything we thought we knew about manifesting.

Is wanting actually keeping us stuck? Are we constantly searching outside ourselves for answers that are already within us? And how much do our thoughts, beliefs, and daily self-talk shape the reality we're creating?

We explore the foundations of manifesting, the shift from wanting to being, and why self-observation could be the missing piece. Plus, we're taking on Matt's practical challenges ourselves and sharing what happens when we put the theory into action.

If you've ever felt like you're working hard but still searching for "the next thing", this episode might just give you a completely different perspective. ✨📚

This final discussion turned into a much deeper conversation than we expected.

We chat about dream homes, ambition, burnout, wealth, happiness, freedom, comparison, and that constant feeling of wondering whether we should keep chasing "more"… or learn to appreciate what we already have.

From hot tubs and property investing to quiet wealth, flashy lifestyles and finding balance, this episode really made us stop and question what success actually means to us personally.

There were definitely moments where this book challenged us, frustrated us, and made us reflect on how much our mindset around money has changed over the years.

If you've ever wondered: ✨ Will the next level actually make me happier? ✨ Am I building freedom… or just creating another treadmill? ✨ What does "wealth" even mean anymore?

…then this episode will definitely get you thinking.

Andddd… we're so excited to announce our June book 📚 We'll be reading Beyond Wanting by Matt Cooke, which you can grab on Audible now. It's all about manifestation, mindset, and moving beyond simply wanting things… into actually creating them.

See you next week/month 💛

From property portfolios built slowly behind closed doors, to why we tie our self-worth to our jobs, businesses, and even motherhood… this episode gets surprisingly deep.

We chat about building wealth the slow way, creating freedom for future generations, firing nightmare clients, trying new things, and why the best investments in life don't always make sense on a spreadsheet.

A thoughtful, honest conversation about success, identity, and what really matters when nobody's watching. ✨

This week on the Shelf Improvement Podcast, we continue The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel, covering Chapters 8–12.

In this episode, we dive into the difference between spending for status and spending for real value. From designer bags and dream holidays to jealousy, social pressure, money beliefs and the freedom to choose your own path, this one opens up so many juicy conversations.

We explore whether we're buying things because they genuinely make us happy… or because we want to be seen a certain way. We also talk about risk, regret, cultural attitudes towards money, and why true wealth might not be flashy at all.

Because maybe the art of spending money is really about knowing what matters to you.

From status symbols and dream cars to happiness, relationships and the pressure to "look successful," we unpack the hidden emotional cost of constantly chasing more.

We discuss: 💭 Why people envy the result… but never see the sacrifice behind it 🚗 The reality behind "dream" purchases and status symbols 🏡 Whether bigger houses and bigger lifestyles actually bring more happiness 💸 The difference between being rich and being truly wealthy ✨ And why the little things in life often bring more joy than luxury ever can

This episode is full of honest reflections, mindset shifts and powerful reminders that money may give us more choices… but it doesn't solve everything.

Because maybe the real flex isn't impressing everyone else… maybe it's building a life that genuinely feels good to you.

New month, new book! This month on the Shelf Improvement Podcast, we're diving into The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel.

And it's not quite the book we expected. Rather than simply talking about how to spend less or make more, this episode opens up a much bigger conversation around wealth, happiness, status, gratitude and what we're really chasing.

From flashy cars and dream homes to holidays, identity, dopamine hits and the little things that genuinely make life feel rich, we explore how our life experiences shape the way we spend money… and why nobody's version of "enough" looks exactly the same.

It's a thoughtful, honest and relatable start to the book, asking one big question:

Are we spending money to look successful… or to build a life that actually feels good?

In this final episode of E-Squared by Pam Grout, we explore Experiments 7–9… and bring everything we've learned full circle.

From thinking positively about food and its impact on our bodies, to sending a thought to someone and seeing if it returns, we dive into the idea that we are all connected through energy, frequency and awareness. You know those moments… when you think of someone and they call, or you catch someone looking right back at you… coincidence, or something more?

And finally, we focus on something beautifully simple… noticing the good. Actively recognising what's going right, what's showing up, and what might already be unfolding for us when we choose to stay open.

This episode is a reflection on the journey through the experiments, how it's shifted our perspective, and how choosing positivity, intention and curiosity might just change what we experience day to day.

Because sometimes… what's meant for you is already on its way. You just have to ask.

in it I mention a youtube interview and its this one here: with Simon Mills on Diary of a CEO https://youtu.be/5Jk5XCLAr6w?si=f7BVGoS9pGnDPsAT

Next month on the Shelf Improvement Podcast, we're diving into The Art of Spending Money by Morgan Housel.

This isn't about budgets, spreadsheets or cutting back… it's about understanding the psychology behind how we spend, and why money doesn't always bring the happiness we expect it to.

We'll be exploring how to use money in a way that actually adds value to your life, aligns with what truly matters to you, and helps you build a life that feels rich… not just looks it.

If you've ever wondered why some purchases feel amazing and others fall flat, or how to feel more intentional and fulfilled with your money, this one's for you.

Join us next week as we start unpacking a whole new way of thinking about money… and what it's really for.

These experiments take things to the next level… challenging us to see whether we can influence outcomes, receive clear answers, and even shift energy in the world around us.

We put it to the test: ✨ Focusing intention to see if we can make things happen within 48 hours 🔮 Asking for a clear yes or no answer… and looking for undeniable signs 🌱 Exploring how positive vs negative energy impacts the world around us, from plants to water… and even ourselves

From the language we use, to the music we listen to, the shows we watch and the way we speak to ourselves… we unpack how all of this might be affecting our energy more than we realise.

With our bodies made up mostly of water, could our environment and thoughts really be shaping us on a deeper level?

Join us as we share our real experiences, what worked, what surprised us… and what this might mean for how we show up in everyday life.

Join us as we explore, question and experiment in real time.🚀📚

What if you could prove, in just a few days, that there's more going on than meets the eye?

This month on the Shelf Improvement Podcast, we dive into E-Squared by Pam Grout… a book that turns spirituality, science and curiosity into real-life experiments.

In this first episode, we take on Experiments 1–3, designed to test whether there really is an unseen force at play… what Pam calls the Field of Infinite Potentiality (FP).

We put it to the test: ✨ Asking for a gift within 48 hours… and seeing what shows up 🚗 Searching for specific signs… from a sunset beige car to a yellow butterfly or purple feather ⚡ And even exploring whether we, as living beings, hold measurable energy

Blending ideas of quantum physics with everyday life, we share our own experiences as we try each experiment… what happened, what surprised us, and what it might all mean.

Is it coincidence… intention… or something we don't fully understand yet?

What if the problem isn't that we're surrounded by idiots… but that we're struggling to understand each other?

In this bonus episode of the Shelf Improvement Podcast, we revisit one of our most popular reads, Surrounded by Idiots by Thomas Erikson, and bring it into today's conversation by exploring it alongside the The Manosphere by Louis Theroux.

We dive into the different personality types from the book and how they show up in real life… especially in the often polarising conversations happening online right now around masculinity, communication and relationships.

This episode touches on some big (and sometimes uncomfortable) topics… from misunderstanding and conflict, to why people think, react and communicate so differently.

It's not about taking sides. It's about understanding perspectives.

Because when you start to see people differently… everything changes.

In this final episode, we explore the realities of cybersecurity, surveillance and digital safety in a world already powered by AI. From ring cameras on our homes to robots delivering our food, convenience is everywhere… but so are new risks.

We ask the questions most of us avoid… Are we actually taking precautions? When did you last update your passwords? And if AI is already part of our everyday lives… are we truly ready for what comes next?

A powerful and thought-provoking close to the book, as we reflect on the balance between innovation and responsibility in a world that isn't slowing down.

In this episode, we explore how AI could reshape travel and leisure, from smarter journeys to a world where we may drive less, yet experience more. We also unpack how technology is beginning to influence relationships and human connection, raising questions about how we live, love and interact in an increasingly digital world.

From there, we zoom out to the bigger picture… looking at AI's role in the environment, farming and manufacturing, and how innovation could help us produce more sustainably while rethinking how industries operate.

And then, we go even further. Into satellites, space exploration and the possibility of life beyond Earth. Think driverless racing, advanced space tech and even the idea of colonies on the moon.

It's a wide ranging, thought provoking episode that stretches from the everyday to the extraordinary, as we continue exploring how AI is shaping not just our lives… but our future as a whole.

We explore how AI is transforming software development, accelerating innovation while raising big questions around control, accuracy and responsibility. We also reflect on real-world lessons from the Horizon IT scandal, and what it reveals about trust in systems we're told to rely on.

From there, we step into the world of social media, marketing and advertising, where AI is now shaping what we see, what we buy and even what we believe… leaving us asking, who can we really trust?

We also dive into the future of film, music and entertainment. From virtual performances like ABBA Voyage, to the idea of films created without actors and music produced without musicians, we explore what creativity looks like in an AI-powered world.

Finally, we look at the evolution of retail, weighing up the pros and cons of increasingly automated, personalised shopping experiences.

A fascinating episode full of big questions, cultural shifts and honest reflections as we continue unpacking how AI is quietly rewriting the rules of everyday life.

We also explore how education is evolving, from schools and universities to adult learning, and how technology could reshape the way we gain knowledge throughout our lives.

Finally, we discuss one of the biggest questions in the age of AI: how do we know what's real? With deepfakes, AI-generated content and rapidly changing technology, identifying truth and trustworthy information is becoming more important than ever.

It's another thought-provoking chapter of the conversation as we reflect on the opportunities, challenges and big questions AI is bringing into our everyday lives.

It's feng shui in the real world… where floor plans are confusing, recycling runs multiply, bins refuse to have a spiritual home, and "missing corners" become a genuine life question. Anna flows with goddesses and affirmations while I reach for the tape measure and exact energy zones, revealing two very different paths to the same goal: a home that supports wealth, health, love and career.

Recorded under the fresh energy of the Chinese New Year and a new moon, it's honest, funny and wildly relatable for anyone trying to create a space that actually works for their life. 🏡🐎✨

Ever walked into a house and instantly thought… yes… or nope… without knowing why? 👀🏡 This month we're reading The Happy Home by Patricia Lohan and it's basically feng shui: simple tweaks that shift the feel of your home and, if you're open to it, the energy within your life too.

Patricia describes feng shui as "acupuncture for your home". Not a full renovation, not a "buy 47 crystals and a waterfall fountain" situation. More like small, intentional changes that can help your home feel calmer, clearer, and more supportive (especially if life has felt a bit… chaotic lately).

In this week's episode we kick off Part 1, ease you in gently, and set you up for the month ahead. If you fancy reading along with us, grab the book and come join the February experiment: let's see what happens when you treat your home like it's on your team. ✨

Anna Recorded a little bonus for you too, you can listen here

And… very exciting soft launch 🚨 we also share news about Inner Shelf, our upcoming membership space for you lovely listeners, with bonus content, guided practices, lives, and a more intimate community vibe. Watch this space… 💛

Hey Shelf Improvers!

Happy New Year ✨ A fresh chapter, a clean page… but what does a new year actually mean for you?

*]:pointer-events-auto [content-visibility:auto] supports-[content-visibility:auto]:[contain-intrinsic-size:auto_100lvh] scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]" dir="auto" tabindex="-1" data-turn-id= "c6baffbb-92a7-408c-8b60-ef0a0e527d6f" data-testid= "conversation-turn-2" data-scroll-anchor="true" data-turn= "assistant"> For me, this one feels extra special. We're on Book 40 and I'm stepping into my 40th year. There's something powerful about that alignment. This year carries the energy of the Fire Horse. Bold. Forward-moving. No tiptoeing. Just momentum and intention.

And yet… we're still in winter. Maybe you're not sprinting yet. Maybe you're thawing. Reflecting. Still in a gentle hibernation. If that's you, this episode is your permission slip. That pause isn't procrastination. It's preparation.

This month, we're diving into a true classic: The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey.

This isn't about hustle or overnight success. It's about alignment. Principles. Becoming effective from the inside out. The kind of habits that quietly change how you show up in your work, your relationships, and your life.

In this episode, we start unpacking why these habits have stood the test of time, and how they can help you move into this year with clarity, confidence, and purpose… whether you're ready to bolt forward or still warming up.

New year. New habits. Let's begin.

🎙️ In today's episode, we're covering the Intro and Part 1- Paradigms & Principles:

Hey everyone 👋

Welcome back to another bonus episode where we get brilliant book recommendations from inspiring entrepreneurial guests!

Today’s guest is the wonderful Scott Williams — property developer, podcast host, and all-around powerhouse. You might already know him from The Property Developer Show or his YouTube channel. If not, go give him a follow: 📲 @propertydevelopershow 📲 @scottluiswilliams

Scott’s book of choice? The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy — a game-changer we haven’t yet covered in the club, so this is a must-listen. He also drops another favourite as other bonus guests have also recommended it: Hustle Harder Hustle Smarter by Curtis Jackson (AKA 50 Cent) — one we’ve definitely got to add to the list!

🛑 Quick heads up:

This episode was recorded back in February (yes, life got busy!)
My ADHD was in full swing during the chat — so if you hear a few interruptions, take it as a sign I was loving the convo 😂

Scott, it was such a pleasure having you on! And listeners — you can also catch me on Scott’s podcast and YouTube channel, so don’t forget to check that out and show your support by liking and sharing 💛

Thanks for tuning in — we’ll be back with another episode on Friday!

Much love, Holly & Anna x

Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, this one will shift your mindset.

🎙️ In today’s episode, we’re diving into the first five chapters:

Intro
Chapter 1 – No One’s Crazy

🎙️ In today’s episode, we explore the first 3 chapters:

Intro – In The Long Run, We're all dead
Part 1 - Choosing to Choose
Chapter 1 – The Limit-Embracing Life
Chapter 2 – The Efficiency Trap

Hey Shelf Improvers!

Ever wondered what it takes to go from buying your first property at 19 to running multiple successful businesses? This week’s guest proves that with vision and hustle, anything is possible.

In this inspiring bonus episode, we sit down with David Lamb — a powerhouse in the property world. From securing his first property as a teenager to now running Orange Sales and Lettings, a construction firm, and hosting the Beyond the Bricks podcast, David is the definition of a modern-day entrepreneur.

He shares the highs, the hard lessons, and the mindset that helped him scale.

His book of choice we dive into, is a game-changing book that fuels his philosophy: 10x is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan — the same brilliant mind behind Who Not How, another favorite we've discussed in past episodes.

Whether you're new to investing or knee-deep in bricks and mortar, David’s story will give you the motivation to dream bigger and build smarter.

🎧 Listen now and get inspired to level up your own journey.

Hey Shelf Improvers!

Where has this month gone!? Another book complete

🎙️ In today’s episode, we’re covering the last 2 chapters of the book!

Chapter 6 - Building a New Future

Chapter 7 - From Self- Sabotage to Self Mastery

How did you find this book? Dont forget to share in the community :)

Next Month we will be delving into another new book voted by our community 'Four Thousand Weeks' by Oliver Burkeman

Oliver Burkeman takes a refreshingly honest and deeply philosophical dive into time management, flipping the script on hustle culture and productivity hacks. With only about four thousand weeks in an average human life, he challenges us to stop chasing the illusion of control and embrace the beautifully finite nature of our existence. This book isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what truly matters. Perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck on the hamster wheel, or just craving a slower, more intentional way to live.

Hi Shelf Improvers!

We’ve got a special treat for you in this bonus episode.

Meet Rob Graves—yes, that’s his real name, and no, he doesn’t moonlight as a gravedigger. Rob is a former estate agency owner who built and sold a multi-million-pound business. Now, he’s on a mission to help others do the same through powerful coaching and proven strategies.

Rob shares how to:

Turn your agency into a £1 million powerhouse
Build teams that actually perform
Stand out in a crowded market
Set clear, focused goals that drive results

He’s a huge fan of Does It Make the Boat Go Faster?, which makes him the perfect guest to break it down with us.

Quote of the day: "A good coach will tell you what you don’t want to hear, show you what you don’t want to see, so you can be everything you were meant to be."

🎙 Rob also hosts his own podcast—check it HERE 🔗 Connect with him on LinkedIn

Hey Shelf Improvers!

We have come the the end of another book. How did you find it?

We have had a lot of feedback on this one how much you loved it so that is wonderful to hear.

In todays episode we discuss the final Steps 5, 6 and 7:

5 - Embrace Gratitude (without Caveats)

6 - Turn Envy into inspiration

7 - Trust in the Universe

Our Next Book is Grateful as FuK By Francesca Ambers Where we start on Dec 1st and its a 22 day gratitude to lead up over Christmas. Like an advent Calendar. Christmas can be a time of good, bad, stress, sadness and happiness so the idea is this will help us through the tough times and remind us what we are grateful for just like The Magic did for us last year. So get the book, or audible and join in our whatsapp group as just like the little intro in this book about gratitude without caveats we are going to get stuck in with so much gratitude.*

Hello Shelf Improvers!

I think this is my favourite interview yet!

Such great conversation in todays Bonus!

We have Kane with us chatting about his life and experiences with his book of choice 'The 4 Hr Work Week by Timothy Ferriss'. So many great nuggets I took from this chat.

For those who have not met or heard of Kane Andrews, he is an ex-professional drummer, he founded the award-winning Rockstar Property Partners in 2020, building on the foundations of his music and business knowledge that stretches back to the early 2000s.

Using the money he made from his gigs, Kane purchased his first property at the age of 22 with a goal in mind to change and positively impact the tenant experience. Flash forward to 15 years later, Rockstar Property have now developed over 70 investment properties with a gross development value over £30,000,000, all with a 100 percent success rate.

At the age of 36, Kane’s primary focus is multi-let properties rented to companies on very long-term contracts. Under Kane’s direction, Rockstar take three-bedroom residential houses and split them into six high-end, all-ensuite bedrooms. By doing so, they increase the rent by up to four times the market value and optimise the property value by an additional 60-100 percent.

In addition to Kane’s milestones achievements in property investment, Kane has combined his love of philanthropy and investment to give back to the High Wycombe community where he grew up. Rockstar Property Partners are proud to have an international team hailing from the UK, Middle East, Europe and North America and together, have a combined experience of over 80 years in the sector.

Welcome back Shelf Improvers,

Today we have the wonderful Emily Smith joining us on this bonus episode.

I've known Emily for some time now and she is a very driven individual with a passion to help others.

For those who have not met Emily yet, she is origionally from Shetland in Scotland, but now lives in Sheffield and invests in the surrounding area with her husband Ryan. She has built a substantial portfolio with a mixture of BTLs, Serviced Accommodation and flip projects, often sourced direct to vendor and using creative finance and deal strategies such as assisted sales, lease options and vendor financing.

Emily has been able to scale at speed due to the access she created to private finance. Having raised over £2.5m of private finance, and is on track to hit her £5m goal to facilitate future purchases.

As well as coaching others who want to make the same success in property, Emily is one of the co-founders of the Net Gain Club which was started in April 2023.

In todays bonus we discuss Emilys journey to property and coaching. We Speak a little on Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, Manifest by Roxie Nafousi, The slight edge by Jeff Olsen and of course The Key Person Of influence by Daniel Priestly. The other books mentioned by Daniel Priestly were Over Subscribed.

Another Bonus Episode!

This week I had the pleasure to discuss 'The Obstacle is the way' by Ryan Holiday. Which is our special guest Mark Winships book of choice to share with us.

For those who have not met Mark, he is a property developer, coach and hospitality expert. He has built a multi-million pound property portfolio and he is the owner of Gateway Accommodation and Stay new Forest operating Aparthotels, holiday-lets and serviced apartments across the UK. He is also co-founder of the Net Gain Club, an innovative community for property investors and host of The Secret Serviced Podcast with his wife Caroline in which they lift the lid on the inner workings of their hospitality business.

I learnt so much from Mark, hope you find his story as facinating as we did.

At the end Mark mentions a good social media book he is currently reading but couldnt quite remeber the name. It was No Filter by Sarah Frier :) Which is the inside story of Instagram which sounds very compelling.

Here's all the ways you can get in touch with Mark:

SA Websites- https://staygateway.com/ and https://staynewforest.info

Im so excited to share with you the Lovely Michelle Walker Smith! What an inspiration! Through all her hardships she is smashing it at life and helping others to do the same. I hope you enjoy our chat and that the books and insight help you in your personal and/or business life.

A bit about Michelle:

Michelle has always been a people person and believes that everyone can build businesses from scratch and take control of their happiness. At the age of 24, Michelle completed her business degree and secured a position as a Housing Assistant, where she helped and worked with people to ensure their houses became a home. Things then took a turn for the worse at the age of 35; Michelle suffered an undiagnosed burst appendix which resulted in peritonitis and septicemia, causing infertility and her almost dying. However, Michelle did not let this beat her and with sheer courage and determination has gone on to have 3 beautiful children, the eldest two through IVF and the third as a medical miracle! Fast forward to the age of 43, Michelle discovered the world of property and became an investor with her husband Peter. Shortly after starting a property portfolio, Michelle set up the award winning Aqua Lettings, which has an outstanding reputation in the North East, with both Landlords and tenants, for always going the extra mile. Michelle will always give back where ever possible and today is a successful Property Mentor, helping others who wish to get started in the property industry. Whether they wish to be Investors, Landlords, learn how to build a portfolio without any money, or explore lease / serviced accommodation options - Michelle is there to guide and advise. Most recently Michelle has become a best selling worldwide co-author with her first publication and is currently working on new material! Expertise
