An Open & Honest Q&A on Anything Business With Rob Moore
Episode 227
Thursday, June 26, 2025 • Duration 01:06:32
Rob joins Mark in this episode to have an open and frank Q&A all about business. They discuss why stress is important to be successful, how you can market effectively as well as the people they look up to in business and much more!
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Your business only grows as well as you do, how you deal with challenges, stress and pressure make a big difference. Business is a series of dealing with problems and fixing them.
Looking after yourself physically and mentally allows you to perform better in your business. Remove any stress that you can and become single-minded when working.
There is negative and positive stress and you can change a stress simply by your perception and mindset. Anyone who can deal with stress positively will become successful.
Rob and Mark both believe that they balance each other out and neither would be as successful without the other. They are as close as you can get to the perfect business partnership.
Always make sure you know where you are spending your marketing money and where you are getting successful leads. Then ensure you take these leads through a buying cycle and track this too.
It’s important to know where to focus your energy in business, especially when opportunities arise. Mark and Rob have found it better to focus on industries they have passion and knowledge for.
With the economic difficulties, the UK is facing right now there will be opportunities. If we learn from ’08 then people will be accepting less risk and the biggest opportunities will be in around 18 months or so.
BEST MOMENTS
“80% of what people try and get you to do in your day is nonsense”
“The day before holiday everybody gets 2 weeks of work done…that’s positive stress”
“I think it’s good to focus on a couple of businesses and focus on them”
“Doing something that you’re passionate about and that you enjoy it, makes you good at it”
“I love all this because you can get in, get a lot more assets with a lot less money and less risk”
“You only get these opportunities a few times in your life”

How Unelected Officials Really Run Britain with Kwasi Kwarteng
Episode 226
Thursday, June 12, 2025 • Duration 53:48
Former Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng delivers talks about his 49 days in the Treasury in this interview with Mark. He discusses why the UK is trapped in a doom loop of high taxes and low growth, shares his thoughts on Brexit's benefits and explains why panic killed his economic reforms. He gives his thoughts on Trump's policies, Britain's energy crisis, and what it really takes to succeed in business and politics.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Kwasi shares how a network of unelected civil servants and regulatory bodies has accumulated enormous power over the past 25 years, often working against elected government policies and maintaining the status quo regardless of which party is in power.
The UK is trapped in a vicious cycle where high government spending forces higher taxes, which kills growth, leading to even higher taxes. The government now spends £1 trillion annually, all ultimately funded by the private sector.
Kwasi admits three critical mistakes of the mini budget, moving too fast, cutting taxes without reducing spending and panicking when markets reacted negatively. The energy price intervention alone cost massive amounts in a brief discussion.
Public sector spending cannot drive economic growth since it's funded by taxing the private sector. Real growth comes from encouraging entrepreneurship and commercial activity, not government investment.
Brexit provides essential flexibility, despite implementation challenges, leaving the EU gives Britain the freedom to negotiate independent trade deals and avoid being bound by policies designed for 27 other countries with different economic needs.
Net zero policies have made UK energy prices among the world's highest, killing industrial competitiveness. The windfall tax on North Sea oil and gas is particularly damaging to energy security and investment.
Both in business and politics, success demands unwavering optimism and self-belief. Leaders must project confidence and energy, as people won't follow those who expect failure or constantly blame external factors.
BEST MOMENTS
"We went too far, too fast, and I think the worst thing you can do when things start going wrong... is when we started to panic."
"I said to the officials, I said, look, we've gotta be able to take 50 billion out of the spending. If I said to anyone in this room, you've gotta reduce your spending by 5%... most people should be able to do that."
"Our national debt in 2005... was 500 billion. 20 years ago it was 500 billion and now it's 2.7 trillion. It's completely nuts."
"The private sector pays for the public sector... someone, ultimately, many people in this room, I imagine, has to pay for it."
"If you don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else believe in you?"

"I check our rents once a month...I look back and a block we finished two years ago...Those rents are now going up 40%."
"When you attack landlords...then rents have to go up to a level where it works again. That's the adjustment that's taking place."
"I'm looking forward to that because apparently this can remove quite a bit of admin. I would put as much technology in as possible."

My Reaction to Gamestop (GME) & Bitcoin
Episode 126
Thursday, March 18, 2021 • Duration 10:33
There are two types of investors. Those who cannot time the market, and those that know they can’t. Join Mark today as he discusses why serious investors should not focus on the short term profits their shares can make and why looking long term is more beneficial. Mark also shares his thoughts on Gamestop, Bitcoin and market predictions.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The internet has changed the way of investment in the sense that it has managed to group people together to help them learn about investment. Platforms like Reddit have created increased, co-ordinated effort from smaller investors who are investing in things on a very short term basis. They are effectively day trading.
When you buy shares you should be looking to have them for at least 5-10 years. You should aim to invest in something that you believe in and that is fundamentally a good company. This is because, even if the company takes a long time to be viewed as a worthy investment, it is one that you have confidence in and where the market will come to recognise the value of that business.
It is not advisable to invest a lot of your net worth into Bitcoin. This is because it is a very high risk strategy with huge girations. The technology behind Bitcoin is supposedly very secure but it is encrypted. It is not beyond the realms of imagination that Bitcoin could get hacked.
Many of the people that are investing in Bitcoin have a very superficial understanding of it. Nobody can predict whether it is going to go up or down. People are wanting to time a market that is not timeable. There is not an individual who can predict the short term movements of this stuff.
Those who are serious about investing should not focus on the short term movements of stock. They should instead, be focusing on the medium to long term results. Good and clever investors can make good and informed predictions. There are two types of investors, those who cannot time the market and those who know they can't.
BEST MOMENTS
“I didn't realise that Reddit would have this much of an impact.”
“There are going to be winners, and there are going to be losers”
“There is no intrinsic value, which is not great.”

2021 Budget | My Reaction | Everything You Need to Know!
Episode 125
Friday, March 5, 2021 • Duration 14:59
There have been many predictions of market crashes, recessions and a great depression looming in the next few years and many people have been anxiously awaiting Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s 2021 budget briefing. Join Mark today as he depicts the budget and explains what this means for you. Mark discusses the freeze of the nil rate allowance, the increase of cooperation tax to 25% and the end of the bounceback schemes.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
It is going to take a while for the economy to recover. The first thing the chancellor Rishi Sunak has said is that there will be no increase on income tax, national insurance or VAT, however he will freeze the nil rate allowance which typically rises every year. He will also freeze the top tax rate. These strategies are a slightly less visible way of taking the money back, and it does not happen straight away.
Many people thought that the capital gains tax rates would go up however Rishi stayed silent on this matter. Rishi also confirmed that he would not change the inheritance tax allowance and would not change the pension lifetime limit which is £1million.
Unlike reports of corporation tax going up to 23% he is going to raise the rates to 25%. This rise will not be seen until 2023. The current rate is 19% and many people will notice the 6% rise significantly. Smaller companies with less than £50,000 will still pay 19% and inbetween £50,000 and £250,000 you will pay between 19%-25% depending on how much the company makes in that tax year.
At the end of March when the bounceback loans end there is going to be a new loans scheme where the government is going to guarantee 80% of the loan. The business rates holiday will continue until the end of June with a tapered reduction and the 5% reduced rate of VAT is extended until the 30th September with a 12.5% rate until mid next year.
The big news in the property world is the stamp duty holiday extension. This and the 90% mortgage guarantee will support the lower end of the property market. With all the government support it seems less likely that the market will crash.
All the schemes have given consumers a lot of savings to spend, there is a huge amount of money in savings accounts and as the economy opens up, they are going to go and spend that money and there is likely to be some inflation. As inflation picks up, you could see inflation rise by 3%-5%.
BEST MOMENTS
“It is probably an even bigger hit since world war 2 with the amount the economy has shrunk.”
“That was quite a surprise, in many ways quite dove like, not particularly harsh.”
“Loads of people have cash in their pockets.”

Steve Lawsdown: Billionaire Investor Co Founder of Hargreaves Lansdown
Episode 124
Thursday, February 18, 2021 • Duration 47:50
Join Mark Homer today as he interviews co-founder of award winning investment service Hargreaves Lansdown and majority shareholder of Bristol City FC, Stephen Lansdown CBE. Together they discuss the impact the pandemic has had on the financial market globally, why saving for your future is more important than ever and why people should take an active interest in their personal investments.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
There is a lot of value accredited to trail commissions businesses, especially over the last 10-15 years. Company valuations that are based on repeat income seem stronger than those that are taking a one off chunk. If you’re giving a good service then a client will stay loyal to you and you will continue to take that income. The more clients you get the more assets you have got and the more fees you generate.
Governments are so much in debt due to the financial crisis and the pandemic, that you have to make your own precisions which is why saving is so important. Financial services platforms are in a good position to service that market. Healthcare, technology and renewable energy are good investment opportunities for now and the future.
Whilst the timing of it is hard to predict, the reality is there will be inflation at some point. Inflation is needed because that is how assets recover and how we get ourselves out of debt. Cash is not great at the moment and the alternative to that is equity investment which is why the stock market is benefiting massively.
There has always been a herd instinct in investment and many people tend to follow the crowd. You can follow it too far, and that is what makes the market. The market will not go up forever, and it will not go down forever, it will adjust along the way.
A wise way to use your money is to firstly ensure you have a certain amount in cash to meet your short term expenditure so that you are never caught short. Secondly, get some income that gives you a guaranteed return with fixed interest rates. Finally look towards investing in growth and income with either equity or property.
The fixed interest market is more of a property rental market these days. If you can find a good property/properties that can give you a good yield and can ensure you a good, guaranteed income then you can budget accordingly and make further investments along the way.
People should take an active interest in their investments, that is what the platform Hargreaves Lansdown has done for people. It allows people to look at all their investments in one place, to make decisions very quickly and to get information on those investments. You have got to plan for your later life and your family at the earliest possible stage. The stock market and investments markets are the best place to do that.
BEST MOMENTS
“It was because other people were stealing our food off the table we decided to beat them at their own game.”
“As long as we give you a good service, as long as we make sure your money is secure and you’re happy and confident in what we’re doing, then you’re going to give us the instructions to do every transaction that you possibly can.”
“The moment of truth arrives as to where all the balls are going to land once the government starts to withdraw stamp duty holiday, furlough, grants and all the rest of it.”
“Everyone makes loads of money until the money stops coming in, and then it falls apart.”
“There is no working together for the common good.”
“They are all the ingredients for a good all around investment attitude.”
ABOUT THE GUEST:
Stephen Philip Lansdown CBE is an English-born Guernsey billionaire. He co-founded the British financial services firm Hargreaves Lansdown with Peter Hargreaves. He is a founder of Bristol Sport and majority shareholder of Bristol Bears, Bristol Flyers, and Bristol City Football Club. Lansdown was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2017 Birthday Honours for services to business and the community in Bristol.

How to Invest £1MILLION For The Best Return
Episode 123
Thursday, February 4, 2021 • Duration 45:31
Mark is joined by fellow co-founder of Progressive Property, Disruptive Entrepreneur and Friend Rob Moore, together they discuss how to perfectly invest £1 million. Whether you’re looking to invest in property, hotels, classic cars or stocks and shares Mark and Rob have got you covered, join them today to find out more.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Property:
Due to the current pandemic there are many hotels sitting empty waiting for investment. If there aren't deals there now, there will be very shortly. There will be many opportunities within the hotel industry to either re-open to guests in the summer months or to convert the hotel into something else.
Things to consider if looking to invest into a hotel are: Where is it? What is it? And What is the occupancy? Occupancy in both HMO’s and Hotels is everything. If it is running at 70% full, that is all your profit gone and it is then running at a loss.
Assets:
When investing in watches, cars or art try to ensure that you invest in products that are limited edition or where there was only a small amount produced. Rolex, Patek Phillipe and Richard Mille are the three watch models that are strong in the market currently.
New petrol and diesel vehicles will not be available from 2030 according to the government. Theoretically speaking existing petrol and diesel cars will go up in value as they become rarer to buy. There will likely be less service stations to purchase petrol and diesel however it is unlikely that they will be impossible to run.
As long as you buy right, investment into classic cars is a good place to park your money and enjoy it at the same time. Whilst it may go up in value, it probably won’t make much profit. What you should be aiming for is to have something that doesn’t go down in value.
Stocks:
You could invest a small amount of your £1 million into a higher risk strategy such as crypto currency or EIS schemes. They are very high risk and can drop to be worth nothing however there are big tax benefits to doing this.
Investment Advice:
Become really interested and passionate about what you are potentially investing in. Become knowledgeable about a particular class and stick with that when investing. If you are aiming to make serious amounts of money through this platform, then you will likely need to become a professional in this niche.
We do not know what will cause the next recession nor do we know what the effects of it will be. The best way to conserve your wealth is to have multiple investments in a range of industries. Diversity your investments and ensure you have multiple income streams across varied business types and property types.
If you want to make a large amount of money fast, the best way to do that would be to invest into a business and become really good at it. Secondly, put your money into property that is well leveraged as that will always do better than investing in cars, watches etc.

My Property Predictions for 2021
Episode 122
Thursday, January 21, 2021 • Duration 11:13
After an unpredictable year for both business and property in 2020, join your host Mark Homer as he discusses his property predictions for 2021. Mark discusses how peoples’ house preferences have changed, reliable property investment strategies and why we are likely to see a rise in HMO’s and single let properties.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
The pandemic has had a huge effect on the retail industry. Many retailers are moving their headquarters to the outskirts of the city to fulfil their customers’ needs for online purchasing. Despite what most of the property experts said, property prices have risen this year.
More people are working from home since the pandemic began. This has had an impact on the types of homes people need with purchasers choosing to live in larger homes further out since they no longer have to commute to the office. The government granted a stamp duty exemption in 2020 and there is talk of this being extended in 2021 which will help the property market even more.
Rather than look at whether the property market is going up or down focus on what strategies will be successful. The property market is often unpredictable therefore reliable strategies are always safe investments. Nobody can predict what will happen to the interest rates, government support or unemployment rates.
Houses of multiple occupancy and single let’s are likely to become more popular in 2021 as unemployment is predicted to rise. More people will decide to rent instead of buy which is likely to see rental prices rise.
2020 taught us that things can only get better. During the last recession, there were many motivated sellers and the demand for property deals rose as many sellers needed to offload their properties to raise cash. Once the market came back, property prices rose.
BEST MOMENTS
“Most experts were predicting either a shallow fall or a crash.”
“This is a good thing for property investors as it lifts the value of your asset.”
“The bank of England has been making noises about negative interest rates.”
“More likely, like what happened in the previous recession, asset prices are likely to go up.”

How to Invest £500,000 For the Best Return| Mark Homer & Rob Moore

Mark is joined by fellow co-founder of Progressive Property Rob Moore and together they discuss how you can get the highest returns when investing £500,000.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Property:
With a £500,000 property investment you can secure 14 single-let properties with a price range of £120,00-£130,00 and putting down a £35,000 deposit. These properties can be running simultaneously with a refurb scheduled every 6-9 months. It is a great strategy to achieve long term capital growth.
Many units on the high street have been battered and valuations have dropped in a big way and many are empty. There is a big opportunity to put a shop in the unit and convert the uppers into flats. There are a lot more of these opportunities to come; we are only at the beginning of this.
With £500,000 you can buy a freehold block of flats. The property may need a refurb and once this is done you are able to rent all the flats out. These are good investments because since you own the freehold it is similar to buying a house, you don’t have all the ground rent. There are really good opportunities since the values have dropped and there are currently plenty of tenants available.
It is a very good idea to buy your own office blocks for your company. By buying your own office building you are making a huge saving every year and the property itself will go up in value every single year.
Stocks and savings:
Cars:
If you are going to invest in classic cars it is best to start off with something cheap. Buy a low mileage, better quality car and in the end, you will make a better profit. Work your way up and build up your collection. Buy a ‘Classic Car’ insurance policy if your car is garaged which will allow you to keep your insurance costs down.
Assets:
Holding physical gold is a good investment. Buy the gold physically and put it in a secure vault and allow the asset to mature.
Whilst it is a possibility to buy a company with half a million pounds, you really do need the experience to know if what you are investing in is a viable business. People will usually try and sell you something that works for them and often it will not be worth your money.
BEST MOMENTS
“You are going to end up with a great return on investment.”
“You’ve really got to know what you’re doing.”“If you have a passion for something you are going to learn how to do it well, if not better than anyone else.”
“Your timing of what you buy is really important and sometimes it is wise to wait for the market to come back down.”
