In this powerful episode, Bill Betts speaks with Alexander Seery, founder of Shifts to Success, about how he went from a career in the police to becoming a successful entrepreneur and property investor.

Alex shares what it was like working in law enforcement and how he started to feel frustrated by the lack of freedom and financial control. He noticed many of his colleagues felt the same – stuck in a system that didn’t reward them for working harder or thinking bigger. That realisation pushed him to look for something more – and that’s when he discovered the world of business.

Now running a company that helps others from the public sector start their own businesses, Alex talks honestly about the highs and lows of starting out, and how learning from the right people helped him build real, lasting success.

Bill and Alex also chat about money mindset, financial education, and how so many of us are held back by what we were taught growing up – things like "play it safe", or "pensions are everything". This episode encourages listeners to think differently about their future, and to surround themselves with people who are already where they want to be.

This one’s all about growth, learning, and taking control of your future – no matter where you're starting from.
