In this episode, I break down a real business acquisition deal that’s equal parts shocking and educational. The owner spent 25 years building a business that’s barely netting £40,000 a year — and yet he wants 100% of the sale price upfront.

We’ll dive deep into the financials, the negotiation dynamics, and what this teaches us about realistic valuations, legacy thinking, and the psychology behind selling a business.

If you’re interested in acquiring companies or preparing your own for sale, this one’s a masterclass in deal structure and emotional intelligence.

🔥 I’m also hosting an exclusive in-person mastermind for entrepreneurs who want to grow, scale, or acquire businesses the smart way. It’s not a pitch fest — it’s a deep-dive, real-talk day with like-minded owners who are serious about results. If you’re ready to level up your business game, DM me “Mastermind” on Instagram to get all the details and secure your spot.

I open up about the reality behind running and scaling a cleaning business. From handling a £4,000 exit fee to navigating a staff dispute, these are the kinds of challenges that don’t make the highlight reel but teach the most valuable lessons.

I also share how, despite the setbacks, we’re continuing to bring in new clients and grow. Tune in to hear the unfiltered journey, the strategies I’m using to protect the business, and what I’ve learned along the way.

Let’s be honest: most people don’t want to build anything real. They want fast money, fake status, and Instagram likes. Trading signals, e-com side hustles, rented Lambos… and somehow they still think they’ll be rich in 10 days.

It’s all shallow. Surface-level nonsense. And no one’s calling it out.

So I sat down with my good friend Madison from Trader Talk to have a proper conversation. I shared how I built my property brand before even buying my first property, my take on work-life balance, financial freedom, and what living a genuinely fulfilled life actually looks like.

I also talk about whether you should start in property like I did — or jump straight into M&A, where I am now.

No hype. No filters. Just real talk, real experience, and lessons that actually matter.
