We kick off as always with the usual TBC chaos. Riz is back from Dubai still declaring himself Mister Worldwide, Jamie’s on a TikTok Live crusade, and Louis is just trying to keep control of the self appointed TBC dictator.

From there, things get spicy as we break down what really happened at the latest Bank of Englan...

Lewis, Jamie and Riz (dialling in “Mister Worldwide” style from the UAE) unpack a lively October: slow start, strong finish, and why December sits on a knife-edge for property demand. They debate “complete now or wait for the Budget,” stamp duty vs a mooted annual property tax, falling swaps, and whether a base-rate cut lands in November or December.

On the business side, Lewis shares what’s working in organic social (Calendly flows, Linktree, DMs, and why followers matter less than watch-time), plus honest chat about burnout, boundaries over Christmas, and automations to hit January running.
