Financial Freedom Isn't Free | David Lamb

Ep. 27
•

David Lamb went from delivering teabags door-to-door to building a property empire. Flipping his first house in 2006, chasing an oil rig fortune in Australia, and eventually growing his estate agency to over 1,000 managed properties in just six and a half years. In this conversation, he opens up about the loneliness of the property game, the "entrepreneur's wound", and why retiring at 36 turned out to be the worst nine months of his life.


David also gets into masculinity, discipline, and leadership, from his 3:45am wake-up routine to how he handles difficult conversations with his 14-person team. It's a raw, honest look at what it really takes to build wealth, purpose, and resilience outside the traditional path

    Keir Starmer just resigned. Andy Burnham is circling. And we sat down with the Labour MP who knows them both personally.Emily Darlington, MP for Milton Keynes Central, doesn't hold back. In this episode she gets brutally honest about Starmer's downfall, whether Burnham is the next PM, and why Brexit, not immigration, is the real reason the boats haven't stopped. She takes on the grooming gangs vote debate, the far right's manufactured fear tactics, and the violent threats MPs face daily that never make the news.This is the conversation British media won't have, because nuance doesn't sell papers._______________________________________________________________________Follow Emily:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/emily-darlington-mp-9434b921Instagram - www.instagram.com/emily4mkYoutube - @emilydarlington278  www.emily4mk.comFollow Dylan Russell:LinkedIn - www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-russell-b33512163/ Instagram - @_dylan_russell_______________________________________________________________________See you next week,DylanDisclaimer: This podcast provides general educational information only, not professional advice.
