We all have heard about power of thoughts and what magic we have within us. But not many of us actually know how to truly embrace it, how to really make it work for us and how to fully release our full potential.
In this episode we are diving deeper into money blockages most of the people have, and ways we can change our lower frequencies and replace them with high ones which is the absolute KEY to success in any shape of form, as things can only get better when we raise our vibrations.
I am bringing the best from the best in the field to talk about this topic - Entrepreneur herself, mother of three beautiful children, public speaker and an Energy Expert working with Entrepreneurs all over the world, specialising in helping them access their internal peace and power so they can maximise Prosperity in life & business with ease.

P.s. One of Samara's beautiful children, is only 18 years old and already doing magical work like her wonderful mum, helping people with her incredible wisdom of laws of universe and her attitude and hunger for life. Her name is Summer, she is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever came across (just like her mum), and I was very lucky to interview her also on my podcast. Check out episode 38 :)
It was such a pleasure and honour to interview this incredible 18 years old girl, who is so beautiful inside and out and HUGE inspiration to all of us. EVERYONE can learn from Summer.
Summer's introduction : I am an 18yr old spiritual being, I am homeschooled and find life to be the biggest teacher of all… each day I am in awe and humbled by the human experience. I have an absolute fascination with spirituality and the souls evolution.
Becoming home schooled was a terrifying decision, leaving the normal way of learning, through the possibility of failure was an amazing opportunity to really make it work. having had such a negative experience in school, being homeschooled went on to be the greatest decision i ever made; it has allowed me to give energy to the things that are important to my life and learn outside of a set curriculum.
I deeply believe we all have gift and the ability to serve the earth with it. I love self- development and enhancing my life, recognising that I am the absolute creator of my reality; self mastery is the goal always: understanding that I an am imperfect being of unconditional love.
I am learning to love the journey along the way and trusting I will end up somewhere right and beautiful.
My podcast is the place i share lessons i have learnt during my time earth side in hopes of helping others… so they dont haven’t to go through the trenches to learn the same wisdom. i speak on different elements of self- love, the importance of discipline, applying universal laws into our lives, not allowing our emotions to become our master, recognise what a gift it is to be alive etc.

Creating wealth through property is definitely not a walk in the park. You deal with the issues of each property whilst also dealing a lot with different kinds of people to achieve a win-win situation for everyone involved. In our previous episodes of ‘How Did You’ and ‘The Endless Mindset’ podcast series, we learnt about how the power of our mindset can help us succeed with our goals. But how about keeping our sanity amidst all the pressure?
That’s why I’m so excited to have Mark Dunn to talk about dealing with personal difficulties in the property world and in general as well. He’s been a property investor and developer with over 20 years of experience, and as an esteemed sales and letting agent for properties in beautiful Devon, he is very knowledgeable about the ever changing property laws and regulations.
Mark is also my wonderful landlord who owns my latest R2SA properties for holiday let in Teignmouth. I’m very fortunate to be working with him and so delighted that he has become a very good friend of mine. He’s also a very talented theatre actor and director, and also a truly ‘zen’ man who is also vegan and a yoga enthusiast.
So tune in, be inspired and find your zen in this episode of The Endless Mindset so you’ll be ready to face whatever comes in your way. Enjoy the show!

We can never get enough of unbelievable success stories in someone’s property journey, especially when it’s not just about hard work and struggles but also involving tonnes of creativity, passion and love.

Theirs is indeed a massively remarkable journey!
That’s why I’m deeply honoured to have Laura Muse as my amazing guest whom we’d all get great inspiration from.

As a fellow property investor and SA host like Liam, trust me when I say that there’s no better source of warm welcomes, wonderful stays and local recommendations than us! I’m speaking on behalf of my beautiful holiday lets in South Devon, and of course when it comes to all things Norwich, Liam’s your guy!
Liam Carolan is a co-founder of Ginger & Gold, a proudly family-run serviced accommodation and corporate letting business specialising in the beautiful Norwich area. Aside from offering short-term rentals and mid-term longer stays for business and leisure guests, they do property management for investors and landlords as well.
As much as Norwich is fondly called the City of Stories, the story of Liam (Ginger) Carolan and Charlie Gold is just as inspiring. After working diligently in their earlier years as employees in the customer service field, they started their 30s living their dream of having their own wonderful business in their beloved home city. And now they’re a beautiful family of three and have grown their hospitality business to 20+ properties since they started Ginger & Gold in 2019!
Ginger & Gold’s amazing growth and success is not just proven by their stunning properties and happy guests, as it has also made Liam become an expert in the Rent 2 Rent strategy for hospitality. It’s no surprise though because of their amazing core values: empathy, integrity, professionalism through speedy action, undisputable value, and the two that I’d like to give special mention to because it says a lot about being outstanding and responsible hospitality industry: “People over Profits” and “Leave the world better than we find it”.
Liam is also a fellow podcaster, being Mark Simpson’s co-host of Boostly’s Behind the Host podcast. He is also a co-author of the inspiring book, “Hospitable Hosts” which garnered glowing 5-star reviews on Amazon.

Can you really have it all in life and in business? The answer lies in how much you believe the ‘Who Not How’ mantra. But of course you have to be knowledgeable and invested in your How’s before you can be confident with your Who’s, so you can get your freedom back as a business owner. And that’s what this new episode of The Endless Mindset is all about. Say “kia ora” and “geddon” to Latoya McDonald, perhaps Cornwall’s greatest all-around Kiwi property queen. A multiple business owner with over 15 years of diverse experience in the property world in New Zealand and the UK combined, Latoya is not just a property investor, developer and landlord, she also hosts property networking events in Cornwall. Her massive experience and self-education naturally led her to becoming a brilliant mentor on property strategies and to help property entrepreneurs work ON their business rather than IN their business. Latoya’s property company, Harcourt White does investment and letting, HMO management and serviced accommodations – you name it. Whilst her newest coaching business called ‘Outsourcing Your Property Business’ advocates setting up of back-end systems, procedures and teams to help property entrepreneurs gain more freedom (from admin work) and more time to focus on high-value tasks and scale their business. You can probably imagine ‘How’ much she worked hard through the years to reach success and be able to help people, but in this episode of The Endless Mindset we’ll also get to know the Who’s in her entrepreneurial journey. Enjoy the show!

We all go through it all, and it’s up to us to learn from every experience, keep moving forward and become better players and warriors in life.

Who is Lisa:
Lisa worked in the NHS as a nurse in acute and community settings for over 20 years, until she decided to follow her passion for property and established Pebble Properties. A chance encounter led her to develop a property for a young man with complex needs and this led her to discover Supported Living. She loved combining her ‘nursing brain' and her 'property brain’ to create a home for life for this individual, however she encountered many challenges in developing this property. She wanted to understand why so few property investors let their properties to supported living providers and set about connecting with many property investors and developers. She also realised there was a real problem for supported living providers who were struggling to find property for supported living schemes leaving many vulnerable people housed in unsuitable and unsafe property and unable to be discharged from hospital. This led her to collaborate with others and set up Supported Living Gateway, a revolutionary way for supported living providers and property investor to connect to set up supported living schemes all over mainland UK.
Lisa lives in Devon, she has two teenage sons, dogs, chickens and other assorted pets. Lisa has been trustee of the Childhood Eye Cancer Trust for the past 7 years. She loves spending time with her family and dogs messing about on the river, sea or the moor.

Ed Akay entered the property world by as part of a co-operative that replaced derelict housing by building high quality flats.

An avid writer with strong presentation and graphics skills, Ed utilised these skills to develop a unique lobbying and advocacy system to ensure when possible, developments gain public support from both residents and politicians.
