Property Education Sucks, Stop Making Excuses and How to Actually Make Money ft. Shaz & Dee
š„ TRIPLE THREAT ALERT! š„
Let's break it down, shall we?ā
First up, yours truly.Ā Nailing it not only in the world of property & branding but also on the dance floor šŗ
Next, the man who jumped straight off of a GQ magazine cover -Ā Dee Ludlow, who knows the M&A world inside out.
And then, drum roll please... We found him! Where's Shaz - the finest property broker in the game with a networking finesse to match.
We didn't just meet up for fun - we went ALL OUT for this podcast episode. Professional studio, 4K cameras, crisp mics and banging lighting. But, let's be real, the gadgets aren't the stars here - it's the wisdom we're sharing.
And because it aināt a genuine Tej Talks feature without it ā weāre calling out some BULLSHIT too. The property "education" space, social media pretenders, and those crusty networking events some of yāall are STILL peddling.
So the stage is set. Think you can handle the heat? š„ā

Tej graduated from King'sā College London with a BSc Biochemistry in 2014, he then pursued a career in Medical Education and Marketing. Soon after his second jobā¦ he was fired!
He then went in search of a more ethical path, a business he could set up where the reward was equal to the work put in. āIf they are making pounds, why am I making pennies?ā - was his thought process, not happy with slow progression and bureaucracy (& having to wear smart shoes everyday). This lead him to opening a Recruitment business (not sure where the ethics went) which doubled in profit every year, for 4 years. He hated it. Golden handcuffs they call it.
Fortunately, he used the cash heād built up from that business, to educate himself in Property Investing. Soon, heād stopped the business and transitioned into Property Investment full time. He then had a slow start -
Purchasing 15 properties in his first 9 months, using over Ā£650,000 of Investor Finance, he built a Ā£1,200,000 property portfolio and created Ā£30,000 of profit from flips. This gave him āfinancial freedomā, but it was the most stressful period of his life. Growing quickly is very painful. He recently made Ā£95,000 from two flips.
Letās not forget that his Podcast grew to be the most-reviewed UK Property Podcast, peaking at 4,000 unique downloads per episode.
His Podcast (Tej Talks) now sits at 800,000 downloads in over 120 countries and has 500 reviews, rated 5/5.

12:16|Most people call it luck. The contract that ācame out of nowhereā. The tender you never expected. The sudden jump in revenue. What they donāt see is the years of quiet work that put you in the room in the first place. Growth looks random from the outside, but it only finds people who are already moving, already operating, already showing up when no oneās watching.2025 reminded me of this hard: you donāt need to burn yourself out, sacrifice your life, or chase someone elseās version of success.
