This is the story of how my brother, Sam, took the opportunity, when it presented itself, to attempt a summit of Mount Everest - a climb 8,848 metres above sea level, or 29,032 feet, and whether he succeeded or not.
It is a fascinating adventure in so many aspects, the extremes, the endurance and the experience, and although it was a story I wanted to hear from him directly, we actually recorded this episode for just one persons benefit, as you will hear.
I am very fortunate to have a podcast, so although this episode is explicitly 'non-business' I wanted to use the platform to share with anyone who wanted to listen (and, in my opinion, it is worth a listen!).
A few points to consider before listening:
- firstly, trigger warning, (which feels weird to say) but there is quite a lot of death mentioned in this podcast, some quite graphic and at times horrifying, pretty much all towards the second half of the episode.
- On that note, this is longer than the usual episodes, at about 2 hours. We didn't really care how long it took, it was more important for us (and its intended audience) that we did the subject justice.
- Although you can watch this on YouTube, I probably wouldn't recommend it. It's just me and Sam sat in our parents house (not the usual studio in Canary Wharf), so not a lot to see!
Simon is a brilliant premium agent, bringing his talent as a designer into the world of agency, not only from a visual perspective but also by creating a formula for generating new business. Simon Gates often uses Simon Cowie as a case study with his clients, and in this episode we go into why, and a load more besides, including:
Simon kindly shares so much insight in this episode, its one not to be missed.
Steve Carroll shares a fascinating insight into the comparison between the Australian and UK estate agency industry, even more interesting from his time at top-flight portal businesses... including the 'scary' future of property portals.
A very unique podcast, with Steve providing a unique, global perspective on the estate agency and portal industries. A great episode with a brilliant guest, don't miss it!
Alia Khan is a superb premium agent, taking her market by storm - listing over £10,000,000 worth of instructions in the first ten weeks since launching her new business.

The pitfalls and benefits of being 'always on'
The importance of ethics in estate agency, and handling difficult conversations

I promise you'll do something different after listening to this episode... Tanya shares a huge amount of gold, this is an episode not to be missed!
This podcast episode is different in lots of ways. Oliver Howard is a larger than life character, who is building his estate agency business in central London against the best in the business, but is doing so in a very different way.
First of all, even if you don't listen to this episode, I encourage you to follow Oliver Howard on Instagram ( @OliverHowardLDN ) its not often I say that but Oliver is doing 2 things, I think, very differently online.
First is his videography is unlike anything else Ive seen in the industry, and secondly, his incredibly authentic and genuine daily updates - as simple as they may be, are a good example of how easy it is to keep in front of our audience and keep them engaged (what seems 'boring' to us is fascinating to most people out of industry!)
In this episode however, we get under the skin of Oliver:
Oliver is fascinating character, a great fun person to be around and an awesome agent doing some really interesting things in the market - don't miss this episode!
This cracking episode features David Warburton, of WeLocate and Burton James estate agencies, an especially powerful episode for agents contemplating how to run both a 'core brand' agency brand as well as spending time, and being the face of, their premium brand. David goes into some great detail on:
