Summary

This week we’re talking about Grand Junction You might remember Rob & Rob talking about their development, Grand Junction, in episode 315. This week that story has been shared on our other podcast, Any Other Business - because it’s important to share when things go wrong and the lessons that can be learnt.  And after episode 315 aired, things actually got a whole lot worse! Here’s what to expect on this week’s property podcast episode Grand Junction is a bitter pill to swallow.  To give you a recap, Grand Junction is a site that Property Hub Homes built in Crewe and it was the first ever development. By the end of the project, the business had actually lost £1 million! Rather than bury this experience and put it behind them. Rob & Rob have decided to treat this episode as more of a therapy session to chat through where things went wrong and what they’ve taken away from such a bad experience - and a pretty epic loss!  So this week we’re sharing with you the raw, emotional episode of Any Other Business.  And if you like this episode, there’s plenty more over on our YouTube channel. So make sure you head over to subscribe.    Let’s get social We’d love to hear what you think of this week’s Property Podcast over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. You might even have a topic you’d like us to cover in the future - if so, pop us a message on social and we’ll see what we can do. Make sure you’ve liked and subscribed to our YouTube channel where we upload new content every week!  If that wasn’t enough, you can also join our friendly property community on the Property Hub forum.

Now many of you will already be aware that we have another podcast on a completely different

feed, so you need to go search for it, called any other business.

and also in a few weeks, maybe months, time reveal a big, new, exciting business that

we think is going to be an absolute game changer, bigger than anything we've done before.

to run a business, and this week we released an episode about Grand Junction, a development

absolutely collide, and we feel it's a podcast that will be super interesting to you as

1:02.9

well.

1:03.9

Yes, even though we've talked about the story on the property podcast in the past, it actually

1:08.0

got worse after this episode.

1:09.8

I remember the trauma of recording this episode, but we couldn't be completely open about

1:14.2

everything that was going on because it was still in progress.

1:17.8

So in the any other business episode you're about to hear, you get to hear even more,

1:22.1

but believe it or not, things continued going wrong even after the property podcast episode
