#67 Jess Gallop - “I woke up one day and thought, it’s not meant to be me”
Season 1 · Episode 65
Thursday, November 21, 2024 • Duration
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.

#65 Dan Smith - Student Housing Consultancy
Season 1 · Episode 63
Tuesday, October 29, 2024 • Duration
If there is a theme of the podcast this year, it is hearing from guests that you may think you know a lot about, but then they come on Know Your Shift, and you realise there is so much more to their story
This is definitely true of my guest this week, Dan Smith from Student Housing Consultancy.
Dan has a huge following both on LinkedIn and for the podcast he co-hosts, but we explored a lot more during our time together, from the life changing personal and professional changes of his life, to how he built a platform for himself that has a seismic effect on the industry.
From University, to Gin, to Nido, to Marketplaces and what he is about to embark on next…
As always, I asked Dan to recommend future guests, and he recommended Paul Bashir, Sarah Canning & Deenie Lee and (gulp) Nick Porter, we look forward to recording an episode with you all soon.

#64 Katie Goodrum - AndThen
Season 1 · Episode 62
Tuesday, October 22, 2024 • Duration
Two things men never talk about, how they are feeling, and their underwear.
My guest this week on Know Your Shift is Katie Goodrum, founder of AndThen.
Like our thought patterns and mental state, underwear is private and remains largely unseen.
Katie’s experience of the mental health challenges of the men in her life, alongside trying to improve the landscape for her son Josh’s future, led her to setting up AndThen, boxers for men, that reminds them daily of the power they have to make positive choices.
⚠️We talk about some incredibly difficult topics including mental health and suicide in this episode, but also how Katie is determined to make difference.
50% of the profits from AndThen boxers go to men’s mental health charities.
Not only do I ask you to listen to the episode but give the boxers a try, they are rated the best boxers ahead of Gymshark, Under Armour and Lululemon and you too can make a difference. I have bought some and they are fantastic.
As always, I asked Katie to recommend a future guest, and she recommended Wes Fuller, we look forward to recording an episode with you soon.

“I will answer that question, but I want you to answer it first!”
Tim Daplyn doesn’t give many interviews, which is why it surprised us both that this became our longest ever podcast episode on Know Your Shift.
Tim is by his own definition, a private person, which is why I’m so grateful for the brutal honesty and openness he gave me during this interview, which also made me laugh so much.
Some highlights;
The life defining event that happened to him on his first day of university
Travelling around the world – we definitely strayed into the podcast turning into a travel show, but it was fascinating to hear about Tim’s adventures at a young age
Handing over the ownership of Red Brick Research to the team and why that was important psychologically for Tim
Acquiring a business on the day of the first COVID lockdown
How and why GSL came to be and what the future holds
And the longest, and definitely most controversial quick fire round we have ever had
As always, I asked Tim to recommend a future guest, and he recommended David Chadderton, Suraiya Comunello & Thiago Alves, we look forward to recording an episode with you all soon.

# 61 Sam Bailey-Watts - “You can now see cities where the problem isn’t going to go away next year!”
Season 1 · Episode 59
Tuesday, October 8, 2024 • Duration
“As a parent of 4 children, it really worries me!”
My best podcast episodes (in my opinion) are the ones where I don’t say a lot, and in this one, I just sat back and listened to my fantastic guest, Sam Bailey-Watts. Sam shared so much with brutal honesty and emotion, I think you will want to listen more than once.
Some of the many things we discussed are,
The loss of his father and the lasting impact that has had on his life.
The beginning of UPP and the rollercoaster of Sam’s journey with the business for 18 years.
How being around Universities from a very young age shaped his career path
His unmissable thoughts on the state of University funding and student affordability
And what his next BIG change is going to be…
As always, I asked Sam to recommend a future guest, and he recommended Paddy Jackman & Paula Wilmore, we look forward to recording an episode with you both soon.

#60 I'm don't know who is more nervous, me or you? Our 1st returning guest - James Housden
Season 1 · Episode 58
Tuesday, October 1, 2024 • Duration
We’ve never done this before…
My final quickfire question is always, ‘What is going to be your next big change?’. And in Episode #3 of Know Your Shift, James Housden told me his was that he was going to get married, which he’s just done, and certainly in style.
But that wasn’t the only big change he’s made…
It was fantastic to have James as the first ever returning guest on the podcast, and he has some big news, the birth of his own recruitment business.
James tells me all about his wedding journey, and what led him to deciding to go out on his own.
We dived into loads of other stuff as well, like AI in recruitment, the continued rise of BTR and why Student Accommodation professionals still see that as an attractive move.
And we delve into some of the predictions we made about the Residential Living sectors in our first episode, and see if we were even nearly right…

#59 “There’s been so many times I’ve been told to shrink myself, to stay in my lane. My enthusiasm is my superpower.”
Season 1 · Episode 57
Thursday, July 18, 2024 • Duration
Can you be TOO enthusiastic? Some people think so, but Rebecca O’Hare doesn’t that’s for sure.
We got stuck into lots of topics, some hard to listen to;
How an unexpected redundancy turned her life upside down
The loneliness and disappointed she felt during her first year at University, and the impact that has had on her work
Being a pioneer of Res Life in the UK in the Private sector, Universities and CUBO.
The impact of cost of living on the ability for Universities to deliver great extra-curricular activities and support.
The debate around the safety of Trans students on campus and why it’s so polarized.
And yes, we talked about THAT question at the Student Accommodation Conference, and you might be surprised and shocked to hear what happened next…

#58 “We Designed a 1000 bed Building in 24 Hours using AI - This Is a Revolution for the Student Accommodation Industry“
Season 1 · Episode 56
Monday, July 1, 2024 • Duration
Ana Lozano, a distinguished architect and urban planner, seamlessly integrates academia and practical expertise.
Her multifaceted career spans architecture, real estate, and innovative AI solutions through Nidus Lab's pioneering work in Generative Architecture.
Ana and I were in different countries and have never met in person, yet having listed back to this episode, we connected on a really deep level. I can’t really explain it, but we both agreed that we could have talked for hours and hours, a big thank you to Chris Holloway for recommending Ana for an episode.
We talked about so many things, and Ana’s opinions on whether people in Student Accommodation should fear AI are fascinating, as well as a very different take on ESG & Sustainability.
