He went through treatment in the middle of COVID, spent weeks in hospital without his family, and had a choice between giving up or fighting like never before.We think it's safe to say nothing was going to hold him back!With Dave's unexplained optimism, this episode will change how you see success, suffering, and what actually matters._______________________________________________________________________Follow David Morris:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dave-morris-70624412/Follow Dylan Russell:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-russell-b33512163/ Instagram - @_dylan_russell_______________________________________________________________________Timestamps:00:00:00 - Episode Trailer00:02:05 - Introduction00:02:55 - Early Career: Electronics Apprenticeship00:03:35 - Meeting Wife & Marriage00:05:00 - First Sales Job at Marconi00:06:48 - Sales Skills: Learning vs. Natural Talent00:09:00 - Corporate Challenges & Letting People Go00:11:33 - Decision to Leave Corporate & Start Own Company00:19:21 - The Trampoline Accident Story (Detailed)00:21:00 - Six Months Recovery & Building Business from Floor00:25:26 - House Burglary & Finding the Backup Disc00:29:42 - First Orders & Early Business Success00:35:00 - Measuring Success in Business00:39:13 - Starting Multiple Companies00:41:00 - Advice for Young Entrepreneurs00:42:33 - The Scaling vs. Starting Dilemma00:49:28 - Becoming a Christian at 2900:53:42 - Tough Childhood & Father Relationship00:58:20 - What Makes a Man: Modern Masculinity Crisis01:06:40 - Marriage & Family Values01:13:52 - Parenting Advice01:21:00 - Britain's Current State & Political Challenges01:28:20 - Loss of Freedom of Speech01:36:16 - Faith's Role in Business01:40:00 - If You Were Prime Minister: Solving Britain's Problems01:32:00 - Money Doesn't Equal Happiness01:36:40 - Greatest Fears as a Business Owner01:40:02 - Cancer Diagnosis & Battle01:44:00 - Message to Someone Facing Death_______________________________________________________________________See you next week,DylanDisclaimer: This podcast provides general educational information only, not professional advice.

At 50 years old, Jim Haliburton walked to his first property on a sunny day in 1991. Fast forward 35 years: he's owns over 100 HMO properties, pulled off a 220-bed mega-deal that finance companies laughed at, and is still buying properties today! Oh, and all 660 of his tenants have his personal mobile number (yes, really).Growing up in the care system where showing excitement meant punishment, Jim broke every statistic by building a property empire. He doesn't sugarcoat the housing crisis, the staffing nightmares, or why he wishes he'd spent less time saving and more time living. Raw, honest, and unapologetically Scottish, this is what three decades of property investing actually looks like. _______________________________________________________________________Follow Jim:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/jim-haliburton-709b297/Facebook - www.facebook.com/jimhaliburtonwww.hmodaddy.comFollow Dylan Russell:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-russell-b33512163/ Instagram - @_dylan_russell_______________________________________________________________________Timestamps:00:00:00 Episode Trailer00:02:05 Introduction00:03:40 The Merchant Navy & Saving Money00:05:28 First Marriage & Property Resistance00:06:45 First Property Purchase 199100:09:22 HMO Strategy - Rinse & Repeat00:11:46 Growing Up in Care System00:12:51 Self-Limiting Beliefs & Breaking the Mold00:19:09 The Entrepreneur's Wound00:21:38 Books That Changed Everything00:24:05 Regrets: Enjoy Life More00:43:45 Advice for Getting Started00:45:25 Lodgers & Creative Financing00:46:50 Purchase Lease Options Explained00:53:40 Rent to Rent vs Rent to Buy01:02:57 The 220-Bed HMO Mega Deal01:16:14 Joint Venture Strategy 50/5001:19:24 All 660 Tenants Have My Number01:24:55 Portfolio Sale Disaster Story01:33:36 The Reality of HMO Cash Flow01:34:44 Asylum Seeker Housing Crisis01:42:16 If I Were Prime Minister01:44:10 The Artificial Housing Shortage01:52:11 Media Bias01:58:01 Greatest Fears & Regulation02:04:20 Faith, Death & Legacy02:06:57 Final Thoughts & How to Learn_______________________________________________________________________See you next week,DylanDisclaimer: This podcast provides general educational information only, not professional advice.
