Brian O'Neill

Brian O’Neill is a Chicago-based real estate investor, author, podcast host, and coach who turned his life around from being stuck in a high-earning yet unfulfilling corporate sales job. For 25 years, Brian felt trapped, living a lifestyle that demanded he stay in his job, despite it costing him precious moments with his young son and leaving him filled with regret. Flying over 100,000 miles a year, he was missing life at home, and it was eating him up inside.

The turning point came when his son expressed how much he missed him. This was the wake-up call Brian needed to break free from what he calls the 'W2 prison' he had built for himself. He realized that the real barriers holding him back were all in his head.

Now, Brian is living proof that it's possible to break free and live life on your terms. He's made it his mission to help others who feel stuck in their jobs, believing that a shift in mindset is all it takes to change your life. He speaks from experience when he says you're never too trapped to make a change. Brian's message is clear and simple: believe in yourself, change how you think, and you can change your life. Brian firmly believes it's never too late to chase the life you’ve always wanted.

Susannah Cole

Susannah Cole started in property because she had a problem to solve. As a head of household with two little children, her month and money were only just meeting (and sometimes there was a gap) and she wanted more time with her family rather than having to swap her time for money at work. She could see the property could deliver that, so she set to!

She started The Good Property Company in 2011, as a kitchen table start-up. At first, the goal was to source deals for investors, work on JV flips, and then invest in property for herself and her family, to reach Financial Freedom and get to her personal goal which was more time with her family and loved ones, and the relatively passive money coming in, to not worry about money!

In the first four 1/2 years of being full-time in property, The Good Property Company sourced more than 200+ properties, all in Bristol, with a value of over £45 million, at a purchase price of £30 million (before refurb).

She was asked by Wendy, who became her first student, to share her simple step-by-step, and since then she has taught thousands of students to flip, deal source, JV, find investors, and undertake the journey to get to Financial Freedom, so they can reach their goals, and spend more time with their family and friends, and live life on their terms.
