Jay Munoz was born in Colombia and enjoyed a privileged upbringing. His parents were teachers when they met but his father became a successful doctor and his mother became involved in property development. Growing up in this environment shaped Jay's work ethics, and his love for building.
Jay saw civil engineering as a way of improving lives; transport connections, power supplies and buildings all make a massive contribution. After a few years in the construction industry, he left Colombia for the UK.
After gaining an MSc from Surrey University, he set out to find a job. He sent out 30,000 CVs and was offered 5 jobs. He went on to work on some great projects including:
The London Underground
Construction of the Wallbrook in London
EDF new nuclear power station at Hinkley point C, worth £20billon
Then he read Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki and he knew he had to have his own business. Along with his friend Liam, they set up Assets for Life which ticks all Jay's boxes; he can share and help other people and improve lives through building and development.

On this episode of The Business Mastermind Podcast, Gavin is joined by Tony Brooks to talk about leadership, specifically what leaders should be doing differently in SMEs and corporates and where thy need to be putting their focus and attention.
We've been through a mammoth period of disruption with remote working, people being on furlough, and we're now phasing back into the office, engaging with hybrid work patterns, there are people who have been on furlough for more than a year, some are reluctant to come back – much to the incredulities and frustration of business leaders. How do we get back to some form of normal and start to claw back the profits we were making 15 months ago?
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
‘Some companies have had a rougher time than others, but now's a good time to stand back and see it's a different climate out there, where are you going to take you business?'
‘Recalibration could lead you back to the same place, but there could be some really important shifts in thinking and strategy.
‘We have to appreciate that people's anxiety levels are all different. Leaders need to be sensitive to that fact. There needs to be a sensitivity, but a line has to be drawn.'
‘Zoom has been amazing for communication, but you miss certain subtleties in body language and energy that's there in the room. Perhaps, going forwards, it makes sense to have an initial sales meeting over Zoom to assess whether it's worth sending salespeople across the country.'
‘People, for the most part can be trusted to get on a do the things they need to do and balance their work. But we need to be careful that it doesn't swing too far the other way permanently.'

In this episode Gavin talks to psychiatrist Dr David Lee on the relevance of quality sleep to the operation of business. The importance of sleep is widely acknowledged currently so Gavin and Dr Lee talk about ways to improve your sleep pattern to best support you during your work day. They have a fascinating discussion on the biology and psychology of sleep, the effects of deprivation and over sleeping and the importance of routine.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
BEST MOMENTS
‘We cycle between REM and non REM sleep perhaps four or five times during a night. Alcohol will knock off the REM sleep and the deep non REM sleep so we spend more time in light non REM sleep which isn't that helpful for us.'
‘Really important to have a good routine, one that works for you if you're “larky” or “owly” and then stick to it.'
‘It's about doing a decent assessment at the beginning of it to chose the different tools within the CBTI toolkit according to what that person is going to need.'
‘One night of sleep deprivation is thought to be the equivalent of 8 pints of beer.'
‘In order to be really functional you need to get the right amount for you every night regardless of what else is going on.'
‘Good sleep requires…nothing. The more help you try and give it the more it runs away from you.'
