Welcome to the second part of Kevin Whelan's interview with Simon Zutshi, CEO of Property Investors Network (PIN). In this part, Simon discusses why education alone is not enough and the importance of community, connection and support. He introduces his concept of "who not how," focusing on leveraging others' skills and talents rather than trying to do everything yourself.

Kevin asks Simon to explain the sale of Property Investors Network to entrepreneur Roger Hamilton. Simon details how the online business valuation increased during COVID lockdowns, leading Roger to make an offer. Simon agreed to stay on to help grow the business for a few years after the sale.

Their discussion then moves to Simon's other business ventures. He founded CrowdProperty, a property crowdfunding platform, in 2013 to provide smaller investors opportunities to fund larger development projects. To date it has funded over £850 million in projects.

Simon also shares advice on gradually building a property portfolio as a pension replacement over the long run. He emphasises finding mentors and building relationships to solve "how" problems through a network of talented "whos." Finally, Simon outlines his plan to step back from day-to-day operations of his businesses by 2027 when he turns 55.
