Whatever You Do, DON’T MISS THIS! 

 

In this episode, it was a real privilege to spend time with Dee Airey - A Serial Entrepreneur, 7-Figures Success, A Success & Leadership Coach, A Podcaster, A Founder of the Self-Funded Charity Kids4Change and A Best-Selling Author with a powerful story of personal transformation. 

Dee helps driven business owners overcome money blocks, gain clarity, and set bold goals so they can create success on their own terms. Dee brings in-depth and real-world experience to our conversation here. 

We dig deep into the “Wealth Switch” - the internal shift required to unlock confidence, aligned action, and financial growth - and explore how self-belief, identity, and mindset directly impact income and fulfilment. 

This is a raw, honest, and empowering conversation for anyone who knows they’re capable of more but feels something internal is holding them back.

“You can manage billion-pound projects and still not know how to manage your own money.”

“I thought I’d worked on my mindset… until I hit another ceiling.”

“If you don’t take care of yourself, the people you’re doing this for lose everything.”

“Gratitude doesn’t remove the problem — it gives you the courage to face it.”

“Earning money without purpose will always leave you frustrated.”

HOST BIOS

Alex & Pooh have built a portfolio of over 16 Serviced Accommodation units and 10 Buy-To-Lets over the last 5 years. Their Airbnb business has allowed both of them to design a lifestyle on their own terms.

Pooh left the corporate world as an electrical engineer to spend more time with his young family, while Alex enjoys most of his time in sunny Spain, road cycling and hiking through the Tramuntana mountains.
