In the world of business, and especially property, it's a rollercoaster of challenges and emotions. So many high-profit highs, and so many excruciating lows are all possible.
And that's why your mindset is absolutely key!
That's one of the main reasons why Paul McFadden wrote his best-selling book "Property Success Mindset".
And the man who taught Paul everything about mindset and building "Mind Powers" is today's guest: the one and only John Kehoe!
Paul's exclusive interview with John in today's show, uncovers John's own personal story that kickstarted his whole fascinating journey decades ago in the Canadian woodlands, and also touches upon Paul's own journey after being taught by John in London almost a decade ago.
How our minds and our thoughts can directly affect all that we face in life and in business...
How we all have the ability to learn how to harness our Mind Powers for our own benefit...
What is it about our environment and the people around us, which affect our thoughts...
Why do crises like a Global Virus Pandemic come in and out of our lives, and how we should frame them...
It's a fascinating interview with a living legend, whose amazing training should be heralded and known by more people to help that success spread much farther.
As John himself says: "our success can help many people; our failure helps no one"...
In today's show we hear from Elisabeth Kohlback, the C.O.O. and Co-Founder of Skwire, a company that proudly proclaims its strengths in: "Tech-First Real-Estate Investment"
This is a fascinating interview covering all manner of this PropTech company's skills and services. And the interview will interest investors, landlords, and tenants alike.
We get to hear from Elisabeth about...
> How Skwire uses it's ground-breaking use of Artificial Intelligence, Data Processing, and Algorithms to source and analyse property and location information that can bring unparalleled insights to investors
> How an amazing host of data points and information about an area, about a street, about a property, and even about its specific features, can bring a whole new buying and investing experience to the likes of Portfolio Builders
> How Skwire can work with an investor's unique criteria to source them assets in a very specific fashion
> How design and services can be at the heart of serving tenant's real on-the-ground needs in specific areas
> How Elisabeth plans to build a whole new world for how renting should and could be done here in the UK
> and you'll also get to hear about Elisabeth's thinly-veiled animosity for magnolia walls and brown leather couches! :)
Enjoy.
In today's show, we hear from Richard Morris from Technologywithin, a leader in IT-enabling the flexible and co-working space environments for many landlords and business owners throughout the UK.

Our recent guest, Paul McFadden, who was interviewed for his immediate analysis and review on the unfolding situation for business owners and property investors with the COVID-19 pandemic, promised that he would "sit by the Bat Phone" in case we needed to call him for another urgent update. In today's show, he duly obliged...

> a reminder on his views on the global economic recession that he sees lying in wait behind this current global health pandemic
Due to the fast-moving nature of the global health pandemic that is COVID-19, this week's scheduled episode with Jay Turner has been postponed for a short period. That's a fantastic 2-part show that viewers will get a lot from, so keep your eyes peeled for those episodes being released shortly.
For now, though, due to the current situation we have a special 'emergency podcast' bringing in Paul McFadden as a special guest to discuss the current climate that we face as people, family members, business owners, and investors.
Watch today's episode to find out...
> how the very real economic impacts from this health pandemic are NOT the actual global recession that Paul sees as still to come
> how Paul views challenging times like these to test ourselves as leaders
> the lessons behind thinking of the 'economic tides' being out and being in, and how they relate to the state of our business
> how the key areas of Mindset and Due Diligence are what can help you thrive and survive in these times of uncertainty
> how the current Government stimulus packages are very much required in the short-term, but also very damaging for the long-term.
In today's show, we do something a little bit different and special when we bring two highly impressive people into the Property Pros Spotlight...husband and wife team: Barry-John & Leanne Corr
-----
We've had the Corrs on the show a while ago, but what they've been doing over the last year in particular, how their business has exploded, and the amount of people that they're helping, is something you've got to see and hear about.
So we sat the lovely Corrs in the studio and captured their story: their family life; their decisions to grow a business and leave employment; how they both went through Property Protege to bring their partnership closer; the ups and downs of the property world; the successes and challenges; their projects and developments; and the huge group of people that they're helping and impacting around them.
We then headed out on the road to actually visit and film inside just some of the projects they have on the go at the moment.
Properties needing a lot of love and attention, homeowners and buyers needing assistance, conversions and developments, and a chance to let you take a look behind the curtain of the reality of property development and investing.
Completely open and transparent as ever, the Barry-John and Leanne shared every part of their story.
How they bring up their kids around money and work, how they work together as a partnership, how they work with their power team around them, the decisions and setbacks they've faced, the moments of appreciation when they look back at what they've managed to achieve; everything!
It's a fantastic show with a fantastic couple.
Make sure you watch the video version to fully see and hear all that's going on, and take the tour through some of their live projects...
In today's show, Richard sits down with Ales Spetic, the CEO and Co-Founder of Klevio.
Viewers and listeners who know all about the endless headaches in their home, office, and business life with doors, locks and keys, are going to love today's show and hearing how Klevio can clear those headaches...
-----
As a serial entrepreneur, Ales spotted a technical solution to an age-old problem in the property world: having to deal with locks and keys...
> The office manager with a team of changing staff and countless keys
> The short-term-let landlord with a relentless stream of customers, quick turnarounds, cleaning staff, and maintenance team all looking for access to the same place
> The long-term-let landlord dealing with security issues around previous tenants leaving, possible lock changes, missing keys, refurb/decorating crews, and new tenants moving in
> Being away from your home or business when a delivery driver turns up
> Or even the 3,000 year-old-problem of the teenager who constantly loses their home key!
Klevio has the tech and the intelligence to solve all of those problems...
In today's show, Richard sits down with Chris Wood from Portolio.
With the tagline of being "The Landlord's Estate Agent", Portolio has a business model and provides a service that can remove a lot of headaches for both Landlords and Investors...
-----
Chris chats freely and openly about his own career path and love affair with property.
He explains the inspirational morning that the whole idea of Portolio came about.
Chris explains how his entrepreneurial spirit then took that idea into action. Connections, networking, relationships, solving others' problems, experimenting and testing, acting as the hub between different parties with different needs and issues, and bringing Portolio to life and great success with business partner Ross MacDonald.
For the landlord looking to sell their tenanted property at a good price, for the investor looking to purchase a property with cashflow from Day 1, for the tenant hoping to carry on living in their home, and for the letting agent and solicitor who want the whole changeover handled in a highly professional and reassuring manner, Portolio is in the middle making it all happen...
