Matt interviews Paul Atherton, CEO of High Spire, about how builders can create generational wealth by leveraging their construction businesses for real estate development. Most builders sell their companies for 1-2x earnings, which isn't enough to pass down wealth. Instead, Paul outlines three wealth-building pillars: operating a profitable business, investing in real estate, and adding value to assets.Builders have a competitive edge in real estate because they understand construction costs, materials, and labor, allowing them to budget more accurately than traditional developers. We can invest in land development, adaptive reuse projects, and value-add properties, turning older commercial spaces into high-yield investments. Paul stresses the importance of cap rates, IRR (Internal Rate of Return), and strategic financing; he recommends builders aim for 25% IRR on projects and seek off-market deals.For those new to investing, Paul advises strengthening branding and marketing, setting anti-goals to maintain work-life balance, and networking with commercial brokers and private investors. Builders should analyze 20 real estate deals per month to understand market trends. While High Spire offers capital investment opportunities, the goal is to help builders become self-sufficient real estate investors.With real estate offering long-term appreciation and cash flow, builders who reinvest wisely can secure financial freedom for future generations.

A big week of news for an international break! David Mooney is joined by Adam Carter from StatCity.co.uk and by City fan Paul Atherton to look back over the game with Fulham and the performance in what turned out to be a bit of a nervy afternoon. Are Fulham just good in transition or should City be able to do better to control those sorts of games? We get into that. Earlier this week, we had the full judgement in the case between City and the Premier League over Associated Party Transactions. What does it all mean? Football finance expert Kieran Maguire speaks to the show to explain what's happened and what might happen next. The former City goalkeeper David Seaman speaks to the show about his time at Eastlands and working with Kevin Keegan. What did he enjoy? What did he find difficult after a long and distinguished career at Arsenal? It also looks like the Director of Football, Txiki Begiristain, will be leaving the club at the end of the season, so we also look at the potential impacts and ramifications of that change. ========== To get more podcasts or to listen without the ads, join our Patreon.

The best moments frequently result from our worst circumstances. Misaligned expectations between contractor and client are the route of all evil when it comes to: -Hitting or missing budget -Finishing the project on time or way behind schedule -And creating a happy customer who will refer you for years or not. Sales handoff is one of the most critical links in the overall chain that is your business's workflow. Get this right and producing the job you sold can, believe it or not, go off without a hitch. Get it wrong though and your production team can be stuck in a hellish nightmare for way longer than planned, hurting the project's profitability and team unity. Your sales handoff can seem more straightforward than it actually is though, which is why we've got Paul Atherton, one of BTA's most senior coaches on for this episode.

Episode 156: Today on “The Building Code,” Zach and Charley are joined by Paul Atherton, a business coach at Breakthrough Academy a company that provides smart and innovative solutions for contractors. Paul focuses on helping business owners develop the skills, systems and community necessary to set their companies up for success.   Tune in to the full episode to hear about the top five areas you should be focusing on for continued success in project management and business growth.   Why would a contractor come to Breakthrough Academy? “Well, generally I think businesses fall into basically two main categories. There's category one, where there's low net profit and some chaos happening in the company. They come and they're like, ‘I have no idea how to get myself out of this. Can you guys show me?' Or they think, ‘Wow, this is going to take me 10 years to figure this out myself. Can you guys show me how to get there quicker?' So, we're really good at helping those people, but then there are also the businesses that are already pretty good. Like they have strong systems in place. They're making good money. They have strong networks, and strong visibility in the marketplace. We also work on helping those organizations really polish everything that they do in the core areas businesses need to be strong in order to see success.”   What are some warning signs that would indicate that a business owner or company needs some additional coaching? “Well, the obvious ones are company owners working 12, 14 hours a day, and there's just a lot of chaos and a lot of fires that are coming up.  And they're like, ‘My business is controlling me. I'm not controlling it.' So, that's a warning sign. Another warning sign is, that they're just not making as much money as they thought. Their net profit will be anywhere from zero to 5%. Generally, we can do something quickly to help in those areas. For the businesses that are already doing pretty good, usually those people, they just want to learn, and it's quite easy to gap them to say, ‘Okay, well, you're good in lots of areas, but here's how we can get you better.'”   LINKS AND MORE   Related content: Check out the blog series recap of our roundtable discussion for even more insights on how to grow a construction business.

In trades, the terms 'project management' and 'project manager' have become somewhat watered-down. The unfortunate truth is that in our industry most project managers are actually just professional firefighters. That isn't to say our PMs are doing their absolute best, but what they're missing are the fundamentals that make the science of project management what it is in other industries. If you look at manufacturing, automotive, or oil and gas you'll see their PMs are following a set of guiding principles and best practices that allow them to complete projects of unimaginable scope and still come in on time and on budget. So this gap is something that our guest on the show today, Paul Atherton, helps address within the companies he coaches for Breakthrough Academy. Prior to becoming a BTA coach 5 years ago, Paul was a professional engineer and project manager for a decade. He has project managed super large construction projects in various countries around the world. Since joining breakthrough Academy Paul has worked with over a hundred contractors helping them achieve significant growth and success and one of the cornerstones of his coaching philosophy is the implementation of world-class project management systems. In this episode, Paul shares some highly applicable insights including: - 2 examples of what great project management looks like - 3 Questions to ask a P.M. that allow you to determine their level of control over a project - 5 Systems you can implement with your team that will allow you to hit or beat project deadlines - The 3 personality traits to look for that make a great project manager - Common mistakes contractors make when they hire and onboard project managers - How to leverage a great project management system to set yourself apart from your competition Watch the episode on PCA Overdrive PCA Overdrive is free for members.

So you think you understand homelessness. After you listen to this week’s guest you may want to think again. Paul Atherton was born in Cardiff in 1968 and has been homeless this time round for over 10 years, but his story will probably surprise, confound, and inspire you. You see—at three months old Paul was abandoned in a tent at a disused airfield in Cardiff. Today Paul is a director and TV/film producer in London. His work has been praised for the use of art as a social commentary, dealing with tough issues from racism, sexism, domestic violence, and homelessness—all the while suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and fighting every step of the way with Government institutions for what is rightfully his. This frank discussion will open your eyes to a side of London that is little known and understood by us, but lived each day by Paul and hundreds like him. This is Your London Legacy.  “Just cause I’m living on the streets doesn’t mean anything other than – society has failed me. I haven’t failed within society.” 3:30 Paul was left in a tent by his 19 year old mother after social services refused to take him in, holding onto the belief that it was better for a child to be with its mother…even if that mother was living in a tent city. Starting off from the very lowest of circumstances, Paul has had an incredible journey that saw him fighting prejudice for the color of his skin all the way to the right to live and have residence. 12:00 Paul was 15 when he went into a children’s home and went to a family unit home from there – and after bouncing around from home and school, he ended up at university at 22. He’d worked everything from pubs to dressing up as Santa Clause and ended up studying business which led to him opening several of his own. He found that his nature of survival is what spurred his entrepreneurial spirit not money or fame.   “18 months later – the Information Commissioner’s Office sent me a letter saying, Dear Mr. Atherton – we apologize for the delay in getting back to you. That 18 months took my life away.” 20:20 Do to a credit mess up through no fault of his own—Paul was unable to keep his flat, maintain a credit card, and it was an event that started an issue with health benefits and employment that has rippled through his life. He suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome which can leave him completely immobile for long periods of time—including the hospital for a total of 3 months. 44:36 Having seen the ins and outs of how the system can fail its citizens, Paul has set out to change the public’s perception of what being homeless encompasses—the full spectrum of it so to speak. His first project started off as a documentary based off real life domestic violence and was released to raise awareness and funds for domestic abuse. His other films deal with living in a car and one of his current projects is called “Displaced” to dispel myths about homelessness in London and features objects from Paul’s life that he’s held onto. What’s driving him right now is a play he’s written called “50 Years of Trying” which Paul call’s Kafka’s “The Trial” but for real and about his life. It’s being tested before a live audience on March 16th and will be a condensed version of what the whole play may look like. He’s also working on a photographic exhibition titled “Paul Atherton’s Greatest Londoners” and showcases 12 London citizens who have shown Paul unending support and respect throughout his life.   You can follow Paul @ALondonersLondon (https://www.instagram.com/alondonerslondon_/) on Instagram.   Support this podcast

David Mooney is joined by City fans Paul Atherton and Katie Mullock to discuss the wins over Sheffield United and Everton. We're impressed by Eric Garcia - less so by Claudio Bravo and VAR, however. We hear from Port Vale fan Rob Fielding from One Vale Fan and look ahead to the League Cup semifinal with Manchester United. Rob Wilson looks back on 2014-15 in the latest in his series of the last decade, while we also focus on Pep Guardiola becoming the quickest manager to 100 wins in the Premier League.

Manchester City's back-to-back titles is the main talking point for David Mooney, Richard Burns and Paul Atherton - but there's plenty more going on this week. Guillem Balague explains why Pep Guardiola is happy in Manchester and looks at the reaction to one game that helped the team win the league, while Howard Hockin looks at the media attention following the game at Brighton. We also look at the Allez Allez Allez chants, plus City's response to the FFP allegations and referral.

The Quadruple dream might be over, but there's plenty to still fight for this season - so David Mooney is joined by Manchester City fans Richard Burns and Paul Atherton to provide the pick-me-up. Where did it go wrong against Spurs and how much blame goes on the referee and VAR? All the answers are inside this week's show. Chris Bird gives us more insight from the City boardroom in the late 1990s, while Howard Hockin asks if football is really worth the hassle. Plus we remember some players we had the wrong first impression about.

The week before Christmas, Sam Roscoe is joined by Manchester City fans Paul Atherton and David Mooney to discuss the team's wins over Everton and Leicester - and preview the matches with Crystal Palace and again with Leicester. Mooney's on a trip down memory lane to look at the era around that infamous York away match, while Howard Hockin looks at why City forced United's hand with Jose Mourinho.

David Mooney chairs the debate between Manchester City fan Paul Atherton and One Football journalist Dan Burke, as the Premier League leaders gear up for a trip to one of their biggest bogey grounds. The team discuss City's defence, the impact of Raheem Sterling, and the performances against Brighton and Hoffenheim. Howard Hockin looks at refereeing in the Champions League, while Gary James chats to us about his brand new book on Manchester City folklore. We're also joined by The Anfield Wrap's Neil Atkinson to preview the match with Liverpool.

After Manchester City's first defeat of the season, Sam Roscoe is joined by Goal.com's Sam Lee and City fan Paul Atherton to discuss the last week. We review the 3-0 win over Fulham and the 2-1 defeat to Lyon - asking why the performance was just so flat. We catch up with David Brightwell for the second part of our interview where he explained how he swapped football for the fire service. Howard Hockin is talking respect, and we preview trips to Cardiff and Oxford as well.

Today on our very special first episode is a taste of things to come! Paul Atherton, an ex-wallstreet advisor and finance wiz, and Tim Whiffen, a millennial with a keen interest in complex problems, talk to experts in many different fields to learn and discover the world’s economic, and political issues.
