Take one girl from Leeds, a hard working attitude and a love of helping others and we have the incredible KellyAnn Martin. Straight-talking KellyAnn joins us on this week's podcast in an incredibly open and honest discussion about her leap into property. A former high school teacher whose request to do part-time work was refused, she decided then that enough was enough. It was time to take things into her own hands. With the help of Google, KellyAnn soon discovered Progressive Property and joined their training programme ... and as they say, the rest is history! Focusing on a BTL strategy to rent out family homes, KellyAnn has a very clear direction. She has taken what is a rather male-dominated environment and made it her own with a clear plan and vision for the future. For more information ...

I read somewhere once that you need to venture into the unknown to build the life you simply desire. It can be scary, sometimes hard, and oh so uncomfortable…but worth it. This week I am joined by Mark Dunsmore who had a passion for property from a young age but like so many of us, he was distracted from this for a time by the pull of the corporate world working telesales, door-to-door selling, and eventually recruitment before returning to his real love of property in 2005! This week we talk to Mark about his property journey as he worked his way through various roles and then the birth of Goliath Property Solutions. Mark ventured into the unknown and we find out what it’s like to make that step and if life really is all he had hoped for.
