We recorded this about 5 months ago and I never got around to releasing this! Listening to it back I genuinely think its packed full of value (from Rod not me) but I'd 100% recommend listening to this . .    Rod has been involved in developing for over a decade and adapt business strategies in terms of location, use class, tenant type and preferred exit depending on external market factors. An incredibly switched on bloke with an just above average sense of humour it was a pleasure talking to Rod on the pod!   We chat about:   - Rods Traits   - Why Rod got into property   - What people get wrong   - Rod's strengths    - Good and bad Habits   - Perspective    - Thoughts on the future property cycle    Links to the Podcast:   https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rodcast-property-business-investments/id1479224466

HEAVY HITTER ON THE BUILD IN PROGRESS PODCAST!!  My goal with the build in progress podcast has always been to get genuine people, with years of experience and are massively honest about the industry. Richard Little ticks everyone of those boxes. I dare say this pod could have gone on for 2 hours and I'm hoping to get Richard on for a part 2 in the future but for now . . .  Richard is a veteran of 44 years and more than 3000 new homes completed.  With experience in land, planning and housebuilding his knowledge and application is founded in ‘hyperrealism’ with a view to risk managing projects from the sourcing through the planning and build to the exit.  He maintains that the most valuable experience was gained from the business and project problems over the decades. As always please give this a little share, subscribe and give me a 5 star review . . .I think there's tonnes of value in this pod alone and I'm hoping that it continues to be this way. Enjoy

Tips and advice on how you get out of negative cycles.  I think there's a couple of absolute nuggets and I hope you get some great value out of it  Steve also has a pod with some amazing guests . . . https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/021-resilience-truth-toughness-brian-mcdermott/id1239188241?i=1000434968517 If you've enjoyed it please show us some love in the comments

Bringing the build in progress pod back to life over the web. Our first ever pod done over 'skype' with guest host/interviewee. It took a little getting used to and we stutter over each other. But we have a little chat about what we are doing and the effects the current situation is having on us(hopefully so you can hear that everyones in the same boat) and what we've done to help ourselves.  Si lets us know how the auction house is looking. Also our uneducated opinion on what might be coming up round the corner. www.lendlord.io (the platform Si uses to manage his portfolio)

The Build in progress podcast is hosted by Simon Frewin and Ross Downs. Our intention is to put together a not too serious yet helpful insight into property investment, business and entrepreneurship. We'll bring a mix of top tips, friendly guests, the ups and the downs in our lives. We're learning on the job about both podcasts and property which is the reason we called it 'build in progress'. No one is the full package (especially us) and we are all working progress, we'll be showing our progression through the podcast.
