In today's show, Simon talks about seizing the moment and the gratitude he has to his many clients and friends who have backed and supported his vision.
We discuss the risk:reward ratio of the land and development area inside the world of property.
Simon speaks of the challenges, the risks, the obstacles, and the "planning crisis" that stand in the road of progress.

Simon also shares the vision of what Walter Cooper aims to achieve and the impressive drive and motivation that he brings to that vision.
