In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, Nick and Steven sit down with Clark Adam, a 69-year-old property investor with one of the most fascinating life stories ever featured on the show. From growing up as a self-confessed “Ned” in Glasgow's Cardonald, to joining the army at 15, to spending 25 years overseas protecting UK diplomats in some of the world's most dangerous countries — Clark's journey is anything but ordinary.After realising his pensions wouldn't cover retirement, Clark began investing in buy-to-lets in 2008. Fast forward to today, he owns a high-cashflow portfolio in Montrose, earns close to £10,000 per month, and is part of an elite property group where only investors netting over £100k annually are allowed in. His favourite strategies now include serviced accommodation, long-term corporate lets, purchase with delayed completion, and upcoming moves into M&A and hotels.This episode is packed with wisdom, wild stories, and truly unique insights into risk, discipline, and building wealth later in life.

Send us a textA 62-mile race that lets you sleep at night and still pushes you to your edge? We're bringing a new kind of endurance event to the Colorado backcountry to honor Navy SEAL Ryan Larkin and fund life-changing sleep recovery through 62 Romeo. Over three days from Montrose to Telluride, ten fire teams face rugged terrain, military-style navigation, and surprise challenges that reward strategy and teamwork—not just speed.Rob Sweetman, a former SEAL and founder of 62 Romeo, shares how Ryan's legacy fueled nearly a decade of work in sleep science and why sleep performance sits at the core of mental health, hormones, energy, relationships, and long-term success. We walk through the race format—bronze, silver, and gold medals for day-by-day finishes and a platinum winner crowned by points—plus a design choice that flips the endurance script: planned overnight rest to model healthy recovery while still testing grit. It's built to be hard, safe, and meaningful.We also dig into the technology bringing the story to life. Our media team engineered custom LoRaWAN trackers and 3D maps so friends and family can follow teams in real time, watch live check-ins from aid stations, and experience the landscape from afar. With up to 80 volunteer roles—from registration and gear issue to camp operations and hydration points—there are countless ways to join the mission. Prefer to compete? Applications open for four-person fire teams and solo candidates who want to be placed, with a fair, safety-minded selection process.More than a race, this is a movement that turns grief into action, connects people through the outdoors, and funds sleep scholarships and nature retreats at Happy Canyon Ranch. If you believe in the power of nature, teamwork, and real rest to heal, you'll feel at home here.Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a purpose-filled challenge, and leave a review to help more listeners find the mission.

Welcome to Real Good Denver, I'm Ryan Estes. Denver, we have a problem. We love the mountains, the desert, the river, the hunt, the ride, and then we come back to camp covered in dust, sweat, and regret with half a Nalgene and a pack of baby wipes that lie. Today's guest fixes that. Jonathan from Geyser Systems built what he calls an astronaut shower that can clean two people with 0.8 gallons. His team has already showered more than 35,000 people at festivals and events while saving at least 250,000 gallons of water. We are talking real Colorado innovation from Montrose. Or Montrose. You decide. In this episode you will learn how a van trip in Australia turned into a water-efficiency company, how a sponge at the end of a hose beats a showerhead at its own game, and how a Nalgene can become a four-minute hot shower. You will hear the founder's playbook for hardware, manufacturing, and building products that actually change behavior. This one is for founders, inventors, overlanders, river rats, elk hunters, and anyone who respects water like it is sacred. https://geysersystems.com/ https://realgooddenver.com/

Lee and Daniel are joined by Lee's long-time best friend Peter to talk about a movie they bonded over back in high school in the late 1990s, "The Stöned Age" (1994), directed by James Melkonian.

In this lively, laughter-filled episode, Janina chats with Tom Gilbey - the man who made wine fun again by tasting a different bottle at every mile of a marathon. They dive into everything from the fossil-rich soils of Chablis and the changing world of en primeur Bordeaux, to how to host your own playful blind tastings at home. Along the way, Tom shares tips for making wine approachable (and hilarious), highlights his favorite Bordeaux wines and “Super Seconds,” and reminds us that enjoying a bottle should be full of joy, stories, and a little mischief. Shownotes  [01:42] Wine fact of the episode — the history behind the 1855 Bordeaux Classification and how it still shapes prestige and pricing today.

[25:23] Bordeaux today: en primeur uncertainty, Château Latour's exit from the system, and why Tom says wine should be enjoyed, not invested in. [28:27] Blind tasting first growths versus super seconds - and how labels, price, and reputation influence what we think we taste. [31:03] Highlights on Château Montrose, Léoville Las Cases, and La Mission Haut-Brion - some of the ‘Super-Seconds'. [33:41] From Bordeaux to Burgundy - discussing Chablis, its fossils, minerality, and that unforgettable sense of “tasting the sea.” [37:37] Janina and Tom reflect on how palates evolve - from bold New World wines to subtle Old World elegance. [40:12] Beaujolais Nouveau nostalgia — London's 1980s celebrations, and Tom's upcoming Beaujolais Party at Sophie's in Piccadilly.

What if the stress, burnout, and uncertainty you're feeling right now are actually guiding you toward something better? That's exactly what happened to Kansas Staffy, who went from feeling overwhelmed in her clinical job to running a thriving private practice, Talk and Taste Pediatric Therapy, in Delta and Montrose, Colorado.Kansas is a speech-language pathologist who specializes in AAC and feeding therapy. After working in home health, and outpatient clinics, she realized that traditional settings weren't allowing her to take care of her health—or serve clients the way she wanted to.Like many clinicians, Kansas once said, “I never want to own a business.” But after facing health challenges and the stress of an audit at work, she knew something had to change. With encouragement from her husband and support from the Start Your Private Practice Program, she took the leap. Within six months, she grew from zero to 25 clients and a full caseload.Today, Kansas serves children from infancy through young adulthood, offering both home visits and office-based therapy. She continues to specialize in AAC and feeding while building strong relationships with families, OTs, and other local providers. Her practice is rooted in collaboration, flexibility, and creative problem-solving—especially important in a rural area with limited access to care.In this episode, Kansas talked about how she built her business with her health and lifestyle in mind. She works Tuesday through Friday, with built-in time for rest, billing, and medical appointments. Her husband, who manages the local grocery store, has even become an unofficial “referral source,” spreading the word about her services throughout the community.In this episode, we discuss:What helped her make that powerful mindset shift from employee to entrepreneurHow she built a client base in a small rural communityThe ways she connected with other professionals and programs to grow her practiceHow she built her schedule and systems around her health, her values, and her lifeKansas's story is proof that you can build a thriving private practice—even in a small town—when you combine persistence, creativity, and a clear sense of purpose. What started as a move for her health turned into a business that brings life-changing services to families who truly need them.Want to build a private practice that gives you freedom, flexibility, and fulfillment—just like Kansas has?
