Ian Cowie shares his remarkable journey from addiction and prison to building a growing property portfolio while working full-time as a scaffolder. Once trapped in a cycle of drugs and violence that landed him a 9-year prison sentence, Ian hit rock bottom during lockdown and made the decision to turn his life around.

Today, he’s not only a property investor with 14 properties (and 10 more in legals), but also an full-time scaffolder, ultramarathon runner, mountain climber, and devoted parent.

We dive into:
- His early struggles with addiction and prison life
- The turning point during lockdown that changed everything
- How he built his portfolio to 14 properties in 4 years
- Why comfort is the killer of growth
- The mindset that drives him to keep pushing limits in both property and fitness

This is a brutally honest, no-excuses story about resilience, risk-taking, and building a better future.

Imagine moving to a new country with just £300 in your pocket. No safety net, no family money, no connections. For most, it would be impossible to get ahead, let alone build a business.

But that’s exactly what Dawid Dowbusz did. Arriving from Poland to the UK, he started working long shifts in warehouses just to survive. Fast forward 11 years, and Dawid now owns over 50 properties, runs multiple companies, and mentors thousands of investors through his education and events.

But behind the success are lessons most investors never hear: the scams to watch out for, the challenges that can destroy a project, and the truth about building a reliable team.

You’ll hear the unfiltered reality of property development, from nightmare tenants and shocking on-site challenges to the strategies that actually work long-term.

Whether you’re just starting in property or wondering if it’s really possible for ordinary people to succeed, this is proof that you don’t need money or privilege to build something massive, just the right mindset and approach.

Jamie York, self-made millionaire by 25, founder of multiple 6-figure businesses, and mentor to over 1,500 investors, reveals the real traits that separate property investors who build lasting success from those who struggle to stay in the game.

Most people who start in property never make it past their first few deals. Why? Because the truth about success is very different from what you see online. Forget the hype: success isn’t about luck, background, or having money to start. Jamie shares how he’s seen people with zero resources outperform those with money in the bank, and why traits like consistency, resilience, integrity, and resourcefulness matter far more than cash.

You’ll hear why “all success is a series of failures,” how to keep showing up even when you want to quit, and why your past does not dictate your future.

If you’re serious about property investing, and don’t just want inspiration, but real insight into what it actually takes, this episode could save you years of wasted effort.
