Those That Bloom Podcast

This is an intense and motivating conversation where Shaun Simons shares the evolution of his business, why culture and clear expectations are non-negotiable, and how he’s navigated business growth through adversity - not just once, but multiple times. His message is clear: Work for it.

With 20+ years in commercial property, Shaun is the co-founder of Compton, specialising in office space in London’s City Fringe. This is his second successful venture, having previously co-founded and sold Hatton Real Estate to Colliers International. Today, Compton is a 25-strong team working across Office Leasing, Capital Markets and Tenant Representation, with clients ranging from fast-growth start-ups to global leaders like Julius Baer bank.

This episode is where it all begins - your hosts, Yaeger Irwin of Bloom Project Management and Jessica Kelly of The Mindset Consultancy, sharing the “why” behind the podcast and reflecting on Series One as a whole.

We look back on some of the incredible conversations we’ve had with guests - creative thinkers, ambitious builders, and high-risk takers - and also share our own stories about what drives us.

Yaeger invited Jess to be part of Those That Bloom because she’s obsessed with people’s stories - specifically, why they do what they do. Together, we’ve created a space to dive into those stories, learn from them, and share them with others who want to take bold steps in their own careers and lives.

🎧 This is a reflective, inspiring episode that will leave you ready to chase your own “why”.
