This Week In Property Podcast · 2025-05-26 · 1h 8m
Today, on This Week In Property , Richard is joined by Lynne McMaster and Alan McDonald - two entrepreneurs with very different backstories but a shared mission to build meaningful, values-driven businesses in the world of property. Lynne opens up about her path from customer service and family life to what was nearly a career in funeral care. After facing some deeply personal tragedies, she found herself seeking not just a business, but a way to give back. What began as a search for premises for a funeral home eventually shifted into property investment after attending a Jumpstart event with her partner Grant. That detour turned into a full-on career change, one that's now giving her both purpose and flexibility around her family. Alan's story contrasts but complements Lynne's. From being a chef and a senior manager in the motor trade to discovering the power of serviced accommodation, he talks candidly about the burnout that came with a "good salary" and the realisation that time - not money - was the most valuable thing he could reclaim. His move into property was motivated by a desire for a better life, one where he could actually see his kids grow up.
