In this episode of the Self Employed Podcast, hosts Colin & Guest sit down with Cameron Halfpenny to uncover an extraordinary transformation — from professional boxing to building a rapidly scaling property portfolio.

Whether you're starting from zero, changing careers, or building your first investment business — this conversation gives you a roadmap for taking control of your financial future.

In this explosive episode of Self-Unemployed, Colin sits down with entrepreneur, property investor, and CEO of the UK’s leading property training company, Russell Leeds — also co-host of the Property Investors Podcast.

This conversation goes way deeper than property. Russell pulls back the curtain on the actual state of the UK system — from broken courts to failing councils, from insane tax rules to the government's attempt to “protect tenants” while accidentally destroying the rental market. If you’ve ever felt like the system is set up to keep you stuck, unmotivated, and under-earning… this episode lays it all bare.

Russell also reveals:

This is one of the most brutally honest breakdowns of entrepreneurship, property, and the UK system you’ll hear anywhere. If you want to think bigger, move smarter, and navigate a world that’s increasingly stacked against you… you’ll want to listen to the whole thing.

In this powerful episode of Self-Unemployed, Colin sits down with Faigy Liebermann, certified ADHD coach, author, and trailblazer in adult neurodiversity advocacy. Known for helping adults finally understand their brains after years of being misunderstood, Faigy shares her bold mission: to empower neurodiverse individuals to stop hiding, start healing, and rebuild their lives with self-awareness and practical tools.

We explore how ADHD shows up in adults (especially women), why so many are misdiagnosed, and how executive dysfunction plays out in real life — from forgotten keys to emotional spirals. Faigy also explains why working memory deficits feel like “a broken bridge,” and how tools like scaffolding, self-talk, and dopamine-based motivation systems can change everything.

This is a must-listen for anyone who feels like they’re constantly behind, misunderstood, or stuck in a system that wasn’t built for them.
