Know Your Shift – Détails, épisodes et analyse

This was a big one for me. I have wanted to sit down and interview my guest this week for a long time, ever since I decided to start a podcast, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went.

Jess Gallop has helped define Student Accommodation in this country, having been part of Unite, Greystar, iQ & Student Roost, and she’s done it her way.

The number of careers and lives she has influenced is truly astounding, and in our conversation we talk about the good times, and the tough, rough bits that have shaped Jess’ life.

So do me a favour, listen right to the end, because we put absolutely everything into this one.

As always, I asked Jess to recommend a future guest, and she recommended Ronié Williams, that will definitely be a great listen as well I’m sure.

“Sometimes in life, you never know what is round the corner”

Delighted to welcome back Paddy Allen, CEO Kinetic Capital back to Know Your Shift.

We got stuck into a number of different topics.

Paddy’s new(ish) role at Kinetic Capital and he shared some of the big plans they have for the student accommodation sector

We got stuck into how 24/25 has been in PBSA and I got him to make some predictions for this year that you’ll definitely want to make note of.

Paddy gave me an update on Pathways to Property, which is growing at an even greater rate than before.

And how he might be about to become the next Property social media star…

I couldn’t not ask Paddy for a guest recommendation, and he recommended Rebecca Tobias, really looking forward to recording an episode with you Rebecca.

One of my favourite parts of Know Your Shift, is the quick fire round towards the end, so for this week’s Short Shift, your weekly bitesize clip from the Know Your Shift podcast, I thought I would pick out one of my favourites.

“You Would See Some Of The Kids Exhale As They Came In, They Were Safe Now”

People around Tony Ryan say he is authentic and passionate, I would add inspirational to that list. I am so grateful to a previous guest Steve Jones for recommending Tony, as this conversation will stay with me for a long time.

Tony is the CEO of the Design & Technology Association, but his journey to where he is now is definitely not straightforward.

We discussed so much during our time together, including…

·         The racism his parents experienced daily and how it made him angry at the world.

·         Tony’s own school days that he describes as brutal and a nightmare

·         Falling into teaching whilst working as a mechanic and how even though his school days were traumatic, he went into teaching.

·         His rapid rise through schools and leadership in schools, and how his heart ruled his head when taking up a role that took him right back to his childhood.

·         How Apple invited him to LA to show him what they could so with education.

·         And the one thing he never told his mum…

As always, I asked Tony to recommend a future guest, and he recommended Bill Williams, we look forward to recording an episode with you soon Bill.

“I was on holiday, Iliya phoned me and said, are you sitting down?”

He doesn’t like talking about his legacy (but I made him anyway), but David Tymms certainly has created one in Student Accommodation, so I was delighted that he joined me on the latest episode of Know Your Shift

Growing up in Africa until the age of 10 and then suddenly thrust into a new life

His career growth via different Universities and the boss that really inspired him

The shock news of the iQ & Prodigy Living merger

The transition period during the sale of iQ to Blackstone and why he took a different path to other Senior colleagues

Being able to choose his projects, including his role with QX

And finally being able to say what he wants… and he definitely does that in this episode

As always, I asked David to recommend a future guest, and he recommended Paddy Jackman from Unipol, we look forward to recording an episode with you at some point Paddy.

“At Some Point You Think, There is a Tale to be Told Here”

It only took 9 months, but Paul Watson and I finally sat down and talked, and it was definitely worth the wait.

Paul opened up about so many things;

How one unexpected conversation changed him forever.

The influence Charles Marshall and Karen Burke have had on his life.

He reflections on how Liberty Living ended.

The birth of Now Student Living and how he his managed the rapid growth so far.

3rd party management and comments about a ‘race to the bottom’ (with me throwing my thoughts in as well for what it’s worth)

His thoughts on why so many people want to hear what he has to say, but he rarely speaks, until now…

As always, I asked Paul to recommend future guests, and he gave me a list!

Melissa Browne (a 2nd time nominee so hopefully we can make our diaries work this time)

Dustin Fjeld

Tom White & Kirsty looms as a duo, (that will be a first)

Zandria Barclay

We’ll get in touch and hopefully get you all booked in for some more great episodes.

Bernadette Cochonat’s journey is astonishing.

 And we got stuck in to all of it;

Growing up in a bi-lingual home as an only child, and how she can empathise with Chinese students dealing with the pressure that brings.

Moving to China at age 21 and how she managed to succeed in a completely alien environment.

The build up to the Beijing Olympics and how that period changed the world.

How the pollution got so bad in China that it officially went off the scale.

The tragic loss of her father, and the guilt she feels about it.

How her cultural awareness program at Unite Students is helping others draw on her experience of integrating into another culture.

As always, I asked Bernadette to recommend a future guest, and she nominated Vicky Zhang from uHomes, we look forward to recording an episode with you soon Vicky.
