Grab a Coffee

Today we're joined by Anne, owner and director of Bricking It Properties. As you can imagine we have SO many questions about buy to let, landlords, tenants, we end up chatting so much that we have split the episode into two! You'll have to keep an eye out for part 2 landing in a few weeks time.

When you start a project and think... Why...

We both had a fright this week, Alice's was much more expensive! Never a dull moment over here. Hope you're surviving the Easter hols!If you need a kick up the bum when the kids go back, Alice has you covered for less than the cost of your daily flat white: https://www.alicebutlercoaching.co.uk/7-day-reset

Today we visited the GLORIOUS Brewed Coffee in East Ardsley. Big shout out to Natasha and her team for making us feel super welcome and relaxed. Gorg coffee too ;)

Some questionable hot drink choices, bangin chazza shop finds, and how to kill a house plant in less than 10 minutes.Enjoy!

We try something new today for a bit of fun, not sure if we'll do it every time though!

I asked Francesca what business task she hates the most, see what her answer is and also hear her news!! I haven't been allowed to talk about this on the pod for months, so I got VERY excited.Alice x

What, or who, do Alice need the cowboy hat for? Is anyone else shook that Francesca doesn't own one?! Just feels on brand for her.

We loved chatting with Nadene, learning about how she started her business whilst juggling kids and a full time job as a way to earn a bit of extra cash, and now she has huge corporate clients. Moral of this story, just give it a go because you never know!Follow Nadene @senseofoccasion on Instagram and Facebook.

We go back in time, like years years back, who resonates with what we're discussing? I don't want to give you any spoilers in the show notes but this episode is an absolute hoot!Alice x
