Brad shares how asking better questions, leveraging AI as a thinking partner, and focusing on frameworks over formulas can simplify growth and amplify influence. He also recounts how one client saved three months of work annually by using AI to analyze data — proving that strategic thinking paired with the right tools can transform a business.

Overcoming Challenges in UK Housing DeliveryThe government's ambitious goal of delivering 1.5 million homes within this parliamentary term is undeniably bold. Bob Weston, Chairman of Weston Homes, highlighted the need for significant action to meet demand, particularly given a 40% drop in housing output and a decline in first-time buyers due to limited mortgage support schemes.Robert Mulryan, Director at Ballymore, emphasised that London, in particular, faces a steeper challenge, with construction starts down approximately 70% from the 10-year average. However, both experts expressed optimism that with the right policy changes and industry collaboration, the sector can regain momentum.Keeping London Competitive on the Global StageLondon remains a world-class city, but maintaining its appeal to high-net-worth individuals and businesses is crucial. Daniel Daggers, Founder of DDRE.Global, pointed out that London must compete more effectively for global talent and investment.“The ultra-high-net-worth community is hypermobile,” he explained. “We need to create an environment that entices them to choose London over other global hubs.”Daggers advocated for more supportive tax policies, streamlined entrepreneurial regulations, and enhanced AI capabilities to foster a thriving business environment.Bridging the Housing Affordability GapGeeta Nanda, a leader in both affordable housing and private development, underscored the importance of making housing accessible to medium-income groups. “The demand for housing is massive, particularly in London. We need to innovate in how we fund and deliver affordable housing,” she said.She highlighted the vital role housing associations play in affordability but noted that rising costs and financial pressures have limited their ability to build at scale. Her call to action? More efficient allocation of existing government funds rather than reliance on new funding sources.Practical Solutions for a Stronger Housing MarketThe panel shared a range of solutions designed to boost housing supply and affordability, including:Recapitalising Housing Associations: Redirecting funds to support building safety measures, freeing up resources for new development.Simplifying Design Standards: Adjusting London's design requirements to enable the construction of more affordable homes, better aligned with market demand.Expanding Mortgage Availability: Introducing genuine 90% mortgage products to improve accessibility for first-time buyers.Updating Shared Ownership Caps: Revising outdated income thresholds to reflect current market realities and allow more people to benefit.Empowering Small and Medium Developers: Supporting smaller projects that can contribute to overall supply while waiting for larger developments to materialise.A Positive Outlook for London's FutureDespite the challenges, the panel remained confident in London's enduring appeal. Robert Elder, Senior Economist at the Bank of England, reassured attendees that the current government is committed to building more homes and is open to practical solutions from industry leaders.London's cultural and economic strengths remain a powerful draw. “60% of global music production happens in the UK. We have an incredible theatre district. The talent here is exceptional,” noted Daniel Daggers.Robert Mulryan added a note of urgency: “London is one of the greatest cities in the world, but competition is fierce. We need to act decisively to maintain our position.”Turning Ideas into ActionThe message from the panel was clear: the time for discussion has passed—it's time for action. Addressing the housing crisis isn't just about policy; it's about people.Geeta Nanda summed it up best: “We need to start making real, actionable changes.”With the right strategies, collaboration, and commitment, the UK has the expertise and investment potential to create a thriving, inclusive housing market that works for everyone.

Welcome back to Making Bank. In today's episode, we have a compilation of previous episodes with Joe Fier and Matt Wolfer, Diana House, Todd Brown, Francis Wolff, Jeremy Parker, Chad Keller and Dave Mckeown, and in this episode you will hear tips and tricks from top entrepreneurs about the guide to success.   (3:00) Joe Fier And Matt Wolfe Hiring people is good for expanding your business and increasing productivity but when you bring people in, a smaller share will go into your pocket. You will have to share your profit with others. Your profit will not be as much as when you did it alone.    (7:18) Diana House Giving feedback isn't a challenging thing. The problem is giving productive feedback. You need to figure out how to give feedback in a productive way where you maintain positivity but you also remember to put necessary constructive feedback that will help in growth and maturity.    (12:54) Todd Brown You have to be a student of the market before you are a student of a product or even your product. You have to pay attention to what is selling well and figure out how it is being positioned and presented to the market. This way you will know how to make the sale of your product a success.   (21:53) Francis Wolff Having a clear strategy is important when doing business. Once you have a working strategy, then it is just a matter of how the market responds to that strategy. This way you can then kind of pick the winning strategy and just focus on what is already working for you.   (26:53) Jeremy Parker You need to learn as much as possible about who today's buyers are. You need to have hundreds if not thousands of conversations with top managers, HR managers, marketing team, sales team, and all the relevant people who deal directly with your organization so that you can figure out who your first customers are.  (31:26) Chad Keller Sometimes you have to do things you don't want to do because that is how it will be when you first start your business. This will then teach you what you love to do and what you don't like to do. It is the best kind of hands-on experience you can hope to get that will get you ready for your next one.    (35:48) Dave Mckeown One of the biggest difficulties you will have in business is struggling to go from a culture of saying yes and then figuring out how to deliver it. Sometimes you may say yes but you will find that it is very hard to get it to a culture of ongoing, sustained, and ultimately scalable success.   Tags: @joefier  @mattrwolfe  @diana_house_  @toddbrown  @franciswolff  @chad.w.keller  @davemckeown1
