In this episode, Jeannette interviews Tej Singh who is a UK property investor, podcaster and personal brand expert. He took his portfolio from zero to £1.3 million in under 9 months and has built a phenomenal podcast Tej Talks already with over 600,000 downloads. Tej explains how he did this and discusses some of the mistakes he made, including why moving at a slightly slower pace would have been a wiser approach.

Tej built a strong brand and network, mostly through social media, which gave him easy access to finance, investment opportunities, and the skilled people he needed. Anybody can do the same, Tej explains how in the podcast.
