Nathan Turner is the founder of Earnest Investing a company that invests in property.

Nathan identified that he liked the regular income that being a residential landlord provided. But that was the only aspect of being a landlord that he did like.

So, he hit on an approach that would provide the regular income, without the other responsibilities. In the process he created a different way for people to move from renting to owning their home.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds, Nathan explains to host Michael Millward what a mortgage note is and how he turned mortgage note trading into helping people to own their own homes.

Nathan explains how he manages the notes to help people to stay in their homes.

Nathan has set up a fund to help other people invest in mortgage notes.

This episode of The Independent Minds discusses financial investments. Before making any financial investments, it is a good idea to consult an independent financial advisor.

Erin Craske has built more than forty product brands for large FMCG companies including, L'Oréal, Reckitt Benckiser, British American Tobacco, SSL International, Mars, P&G, and Walgreen Boots Alliance. Yet Erin describes herself as someone who does not fit into the corporate machine.

In this episode of the Abeceder podcast The Independent Minds, Erin and host Michael Millward discuss why businesses that prioritise profit over purpose often don’t do as well as companies that have a clearly defined purpose.

Erin uses her own experience to explain how having a clear purpose for each of the brands she worked on contributed to the success of that brand.

When Jeff Barnes, the author of All Hands-On Deck asked at a networking event how to explain what his business did to potential customers, the advice he received was to focus on what made him unique.

Like many people it is Jeff’s experience that brings something special to what he does today.

Success in the first stage of his career meant that Jeff had to rely on his wits and the instruction manual, there was no way to phone a friend, but that is life for a submariner.

In his book All Hands-On Deck explains how the same structured, systemized approach to working and a culture of accountability, responsibility, and camaraderie can deliver exceptional improvements in business performance.

During this episode of The Independent Minds Jeff and Michael explore the importance of team work in creating a successful business, how making the wrong hiring decisions can hold a business back and what angel investors look for when considering investing in a business.
