About this listen
In this inspiring episode of The Launch, we sit down with Joe and Tom—two ex-rugby players from West Yorkshire—who left behind their sports careers to tackle the world of property development.
With nothing but grit, hustle, and a shared vision, they went from living off maternity pay and using a broken-down Hyundai as a work van… to sourcing and managing over 50 properties in just one year. No trust funds. No safety nets. Just relentless work ethic and a belief that “hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.”
🎙 Hear how they:
Survived 10 months with no income
Bootstrapped their first projects with pure graft
Built a reputation around honesty, resilience, and relationship-first business
Learned that mindset is everything in both sport and entrepreneurship
🔥 If you’ve ever thought about quitting your job, starting your own business, or overcoming the fear of failure—this one’s for you.
