WEALTH: Gold expert Simon Popple makes a strong case for the inflation protection qualities of investing in gold. Even now when gold is at all time highs. As a former head of investment manager at Strutt and Parker, Simon realised that his personal inflation rate was much higher than the RPI. After much research he decided investment into gold was the answer.

In this interview we discuss:
- Why gold provides the hedge against inflation that Simon believes we all need as part of a balanced portfolio
- How to invest in gold and other commodities directly or via companies exposed to gold
- How physical silver can save your skin should an armageddon-like situation unfold
- How Simon teaches people to invest in gold and other commodities using his BRIDGE System.

ABOUT SIMON
Following an MBA, Simon's corporate career started in investment banking at Singer and Friedlander and later at ABN AMRO where he became one of the founding members of their financial sponsors team within corporate finance.  

Deciding that his friends in property were earning more and working fewer hours, Simon went on to become the head of investment management at Strutt and Parker real estate financial services and then joined Copland, one of the world's largest private property companies as their youngest director. It was during this time that Simon realised his pension wasn't keeping up with his own level of personal inflation let alone the RPI. He decided to do something about it and struck gold.

 "The word ‘authentic’ has become a buzzword and a bit of a joke. Really, we want to be a bit more real and we can do that with video." - Cheryl Laidlaw 

When website developer Cheryl Laidlaw told friends she was going to build websites in a single day they laughed. But Cheryl has done just that for years, and successfully with a waiting list that keeps getting longer. During lockdown we spoke about the initial panic that things would completely shut down to the bounce in motivation as people realised now was a time they could reshape their businesses. What this means for Cheryl is many of her clients requiring shiny new websites. We also discussed Social Media World 2020 she was lucky enough to attend in San Diageo just before the world shut down including her key learnings. Although, she’s still digesting them.   Then we switch over to a previous podcast I recorded with Cheryl in September 2019 but was never published. Enjoy and as always, I welcome your feedback. 

ABOUT GUEST Cheryl Laidlaw, or London Web Girl, is a digital marketer specialising in website creation for business growth. She has a big passion in making web design not only interesting but accessible to all, she prides herself on her Website In A Day service that leaves her clients not only with a fantastic website but having had a great day learning new skills and new-earned confidence using their website to grow their business.


HOSTED BY: Nicole Bremner Nicole is an investor, speaker, writer, and podcaster. After a frantic decade building out a property portfolio worth millions throughout London recent personal and professional setbacks forced her to reassess what really matters. After a period of healing Nicole realised that what comes after setback is success. Nicole focusses on telling these stories of #reboundaftersetback and the lessons learned along the way.

"Care homes still have a place in our society but it’s about finding a halfway point in retirement housing." Andrew Fyfe 

With the backdrop of the covid-19 pandemic and numerous tragic fatalities in care homes I interviewed independent living strategist, Andrew Fyfe. We discussed the role of care homes and retirement living for today’s society and the way our approach needs to change if we are going to meet increased demand for suitable property. With 8.6 million more people reaching age 65 over the coming decades, demand for suitable accommodation is only going to increase. The vast burden of meeting demand is going to rest on housebuilders. It’s a subsector of this industry which could be very interesting for those quick to adapt their strategy and take specialist advice. 

ABOUT GUEST Founded in 2019, Sovereign Property Partnership is the brainchild of two top University of Aberdeen Real Estate Masters Graduates. Through their academic studies and with a foot in the industry, they saw the gap in the market and recognised the difficulties facing retirees, developers, regulators and providers. They endeavoured to protect the independence of retirees, to fight for their right to remain sovereign. They reached out to the industry, formed partnerships with top universities and gathered a board of advisers with experience and insight. Most importantly, they included the very people they wished to help – retirees.

What do you do when your business is student lets and universities shut down? This is the problem facing Philippa and Tom Charrier of FAT Properties. Late last year I had the opportunity to interview Philippa for my podcast. It wasn't published at that time so we caught up a couple of weeks ago to discuss what's changed now we're in lockdown and the rapid adjustments they've had to make in their business.

Six years ago she co-founded FAT Properties with her husband  Tom alongside their busy family life as they saw a gap in the market to provide high quality student co-living with a focus on customer experience and wellbeing. Every year they are over subscribed with students and have a waiting list of investors wanting to work with them.  They have been featured in the UK’s leading property magazines and podcasts. 

FAT Properties are leading the way in promoting wellbeing in student co-living through great design and customer experience. They are currently undertaking ground breaking new research across multiple UK universities investigating the link between student accommodation and wellbeing over time.

"My mission is to let others see just how construction can change lives and lead you down a different path." Katie Smith, bricklayer

My name is Katie Smith, I am 30 years old and I’m a multi-award-winning Bricklayer. I love what I do and wouldn’t change it for the world. My mission is to let others see just how construction can change lives and lead you down a different path. I believe there’s something for everyone and I think for people with backgrounds like me. Construction is the answer. While working in construction I quickly realised that there's a gap in the market for Womens workwear. So I did something about it and designed a range especially for the increasing number of women entering the industry.

 #thelifeofafemalebricky #togetherwecanmakeadifference I have an Instagram account @
