Take our quick survey here: https://wkf.ms/419QNLa In this episode of the HMO Property Show, Neil Gibb sits down for an insightful conversation with renowned relationship mentor Brett Jones. Brett shares lessons learned from his experience of achieving huge success as a property developer in his 20s and 30s, only to see his business and marriage fall apart due to communication breakdowns. He explains how evolutionary biology has wired men and women to communicate in fundamentally different ways. Women are naturally more focused on emotions, safety and connecting through words, while men tend to be more risk-taking, fact-oriented and stressed by excessive talking. These differences often lead to conflicts if partners don't understand each other's perspectives. Brett discusses the concepts of "masculine" and "feminine" energies. Dropping into masculine mode can see one partner dominating decision making, while the feminine state values intuition over control. He stresses the importance of validating a partner's emotions, rather than just focusing on facts during discussions about important topics like investing, family or relationships. Through sharing insights from his extensive experience coaching thousands of couples, Brett offers valuable strategies for improving communication. These include recognizing when flooding occurs as women need to get words out to de-stress, while men feel stressed by too much talking. The key is focusing on underlying emotions rather than the words used. For anyone struggling to see eye-to-eye with a partner on investment choices or experiencing relationship issues, this podcast provides profound learnings from a true expert. Brett also offers his Calendly link for one-on-one mentoring sessions to help you understand your unique dynamics and take your property portfolio and relationship to new levels of success. Some key takeaways from the podcast include: - Women are wired to focus more on emotions and safety, while men are often more risk-taking and fact-focused. This can lead to conflicts if not understood. - Dropping into "masculine" or "feminine" energies can negatively impact communication if one partner is dominating decision making. - Women need to "flood" or get a lot of words out to de-stress, while men feel stressed by too much talking without action. - Validating a partner's emotions is crucial, rather than just focusing on facts during discussions.   For more information, visit For those that prefer to watch you can also catch us on YouTube.
