Summary

This week I’m on a mission with Rich Liddle who is the veteran of a highly successful career in the military where he was deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria, counting himself as a part of every military conflict the UK has taken part in, since 1998.

Rich discusses his transition into business which has proved highly successful, the work he has done to help others through the Supported Living Gateway and eradicating homelessness - missions in life that have proved to be his most challenging and rewarding so far.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

We must take our financial advice from the best people - those who are further down the road that we wish to travel ourselves. Far too often, the advice sector is crowded with salespeople whose advice is not tailored to the journey we wish for ourselves.
Property investing is a marvellous way to build an empire in the background. For Rich, investing was able to take place behind his military career, providing a financial foundation that continued once his military service was complete.
As men, we tend to mask our problems for fear of reducing our alpha appeal. Preventing conversations from taking place around our mental health prevents a cure being found.
Many today fall into the trap of investing with the aim of getting rich quick. If we remove this component and look to the long term, then the results are far more robust. Investing for life is about changing our mind-set.

BEST MOMENTS

‘When somebody says you can't do it, you feel you've got to'

'You want to learn from those who are further ahead on the path that you want to walk'

'It's more important to buy an asset that's going to grow with you for the future'

'It's not about timing the market, it's time in the market'

0:00.0	Firstly, thanks for joining me, Rich.
0:01.6	Thank you for having me. Thanks again, I suppose, yes, isn't it?
0:04.7	But yeah, thanks very much for having me, Ali.
0:07.4	We did. So what Rich is alluding to there is during the first lockdown,
0:11.6	I did a many series called The Sunday Series, if anyone wants to check that out on YouTube,
0:16.1	where we was interviewing people specifically, really, from the property space.
0:21.2	You very kindly gave up your time because I believe you were,
0:24.8	you've got a very understanding partner. You were there at a swanky hotel on date night,
0:29.2	weren't you? You left your partner at the bar while you came up to record a
0:33.2	live interview. I was saying it a kind of a thought we'll get a night away, and again,
0:37.0	with a four-year-old, it's, you know, a night away is few and far between.
0:42.4	And I think it was just that classic diary clash, because this was booked, your chat was
0:47.4	booked in, and at all of a sudden we had this opportunity, right, her mother was up, we can get
0:51.4	away for the night, so we grabbed it with both hands. And then all of a sudden I thought,
0:55.5	oh my god, I'm supposed to be chatting to Ellie. So yeah, I left, and I stayed me in the bar,
0:59.3	not that she minded, she was quite happy to sit there and drink cocktails in
1:02.8	in Rudding Park, nice little spa hotel, and yeah, we had a great chat, I think, you know,
1:07.6	for that hour, and then I went back to join her. So she is very understanding, she'll appreciate
1:13.2	that for saying that. Really, well Bridget, let's start at the beginning, because I'm quite
1:18.5	familiar with your story, but tell us a little, let's start that again. Tell the listeners a little
1:24.4	bit about your background, because you're actually a military man first and foremost, and that's
1:28.8	kind of where it all started. Absolutely, yeah, I mean, you probably couldn't tell now I'm grown
