    In this week's conversation, Neil Harvey shares his inspiring journey from being a creative director in a corporate event company to becoming a successful Airbnb host, emphasising the importance of having a backup income stream.

    He reveals how the challenges he faced, including the liquidation of his business, led him to discover the potential of hosting, which ultimately provided him with financial stability and personal growth.

    Throughout the conversation, Neil highlights the significance of community and connection, discussing how his experiences have shaped his desire to give back and support others in achieving their ambitions.

    He believes that adding value to others is key, and he encourages listeners to adopt a mindset of generosity in networking and relationships.

    As Neil recounts his story, he illustrates how every interaction can lead to unexpected opportunities, reinforcing the idea that true success comes from uplifting those around us.

    • Having a second stream of income, like Airbnb hosting, can provide financial stability.
    • Networking effectively means focusing on how you can help others, not just yourself.
    • Building a diverse network can open unexpected doors and opportunities in life.

    Neil began his career in the Royal Navy but soon discovered his passion for creating things. So he left the Navy to pursue a successful career in scenic prop-making for West End shows like ‘Phantom of the Opera’. 

    In the late 1990s, he stumbled upon the corporate event team building industry. Using his creativity and ability to make things, he created many industry-leading products of his own, some of which have generated well over £2 million. 

    In January 2016, Neil turned to Airbnb hosting as a backup income. His success with Airbnb served him well as his traditional business faced liquidation in April 2017. His income from hosting helped him clear the resultant £500,000 debt. 

    Now a full-time host, he shares his experiences on his podcast, “The Airbnb Superhost”, proving that even in his mid-60s, he's far from retired - just starting a new chapter.

    The Podcast is called "The Airbnb Superhost" and is on Spotify and Apple etc. Here is the 'official' link to it. https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/the-airbnb-superhost/id1733701622

  • 11. From Council Estate to Millionaire with Lee Smith

    Growing up in a tight-knit community on a council estate in West Croydon during the 1970s, Lee's childhood was a blend of economic struggle and genuine freedom. Fast forward to today, and he's a self-made millionaire, reflecting on the stark differences in his own son’s more affluent but isolated upbringing. Concerned about the effects of modern technology, Lee opens up about his efforts to balance screen time with traditional activities like reading and outdoor play. This heartfelt conversation sheds light on the evolving dynamics of family life and the challenges of parenting in a digital age.

    Lee’s journey from a corporate job in London to a diverse career in accountancy, programming, and consulting is a testament to the power of networking and mentorship. He emphasises how surrounding himself with influential and successful individuals shaped his transition to self-employment. This episode delves deep into the importance of real-world experience versus formal education and how these experiences have informed his beliefs about education for his children. Lee’s story underscores the critical role that relationships and networks play in achieving career success.

    Navigating the complexities of wealth and economic challenges, Lee shares his contrarian views on government policies, inflation, and the erosion of the middle class. He discusses the necessity of diversifying wealth and considering relocation to more economically favourable countries. Despite his significant achievements, Lee candidly speaks about his struggles to maintain financial stability, highlighting the importance of stepping out of his comfort zones and learning from failures. This episode is a treasure trove of insights on balancing professional growth with personal well-being, and the transformative power of resilience and community.
