Richard Black is a quintessential example of a multi hyphenate. With a career spanning law, broadcasting and property I’m curious what are Richard’s  personality traits that see him able to adapt to change which is something so many of us find such a challenge.  How has Richard’s diverse career unfolded and what are his tips for managing what appears a to be an unbearably busy schedule on the surface?

Also how did he turn a £300k property into one valued at £1.2 million?!  Tips and tricks please!
