FOUNDER #43. £200M Genius from East London To Living Tax Free In Monaco - Paul Smith

Paul Smith opens up about how he built a nine-figure property portfolio and the mindset that turned overlooked deals into serious money.
Raised by two teachers in Yorkshire, Paul was doing house refurbs with his dad from age seven. He bought his first property outright for nine grand, did it up, sold it, and repeated the process three more times before he even realised he had a system. He breaks down the discovery that built his fortune: while everyone chased residential property, small commercial buildings - shops, offices, units under £2 million - sat mispriced and ignored. He tells the story of a five-tenant office block bought for £134,000 that brought in £36,000 a year from day one, and a derelict Doncaster office block picked up for £810,000 that later paid out £550,000 tax-free through capital allowances. Now living abroad and heavily invested in gold, he explains the thinking behind his book, The Art of Wealth which is distilled down to how to make money, protect it, and pass it on.
This is the eventful life of Paul Smith.

19/08/2026 | 1h 17 mins.Geraint Anderson opens up about life inside the City at the height of its excess - and what it cost him to write it all down in City Boy.
He breaks down how he rose from intern to running one of London's top equity teams on charm, cocaine and relentless client entertaining, and the bonus-driven bravado that came with it. He gets into the drug-fuelled deal-making, the anonymous column written under everyone's nose, and the 2008 reckoning that pushed him out - plus what came next: writing under his own name and studying the narcissism he now sees everywhere.
This is the eventful life of Geraint Anderson.

12/08/2026 | 1h 25 mins.If you're a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guest
John Reynolds opens up about what it really takes to build a £250M property empire from scratch - and the brutal realities that come with chasing opportunity at scale.
Drawing on decades in the industry, he breaks down how he went from commission-only sales to spotting a once-in-a-generation shift in the market - turning overlooked office buildings into high-value residential developments before most people even understood the opportunity. He takes Dodge through the mindset behind it all - moving fast, taking calculated risks, and committing to deals worth millions in a matter of days. He explains the pressure of operating at that level, where hesitation costs you everything… because if you don’t act, someone else will. He opens up about the darker side of business - being undercut by powerful investors, having deals taken from under him, and learning the hard way that trust, without protection, can cost you everything.
This is a conversation about instinct, risk, and learning to play the game at the highest level - without losing everything along the way.
This is the eventful life of John Reynolds.

05/08/2026 | 57 mins.Phillip Dugas opens up about a subject almost nobody talks about - the hidden abuse good, strong men suffer at the hands of narcissistic partners, and why most blokes wouldn't even recognise it's happening to them.
Drawing on years of coaching men - athletes, entrepreneurs, even a US Navy SEAL - he breaks down how it starts: the love bombing and perfect-couple stage that curdles into years of walking on eggshells. He talks Dodge through gaslighting, isolation, and the gulf between a narcissist's public charm and private cruelty - the reason nobody believes the man when he finally speaks up. He unpacks the five red flags of a female narcissist, overt versus covert narcissism, and why almost none of them ever change. He lays out the exit strategy - documenting every argument, finding a tough divorce attorney before the smear campaign starts, and the brutal maths of staying versus leaving. And he opens up about the free resource, 21 Signs She Might Be a Narcissist, built to help men see the pattern before it's too late.
This is the eventful life of Phillip Dugas.

29/07/2026 | 1h 13 mins.If you're a Founder and would like to come on the podcast, then you can apply on the link here 👉 https://dodgewoodall.com/guest
Al Barratt shares how he built Grenade from a £500 startup loan into a business last valued at £611 million, disrupting chocolate aisles and petrol station shelves across the UK before catching the attention of the world's biggest confectionery players.
Alan explains how staying lean in the early years, refusing to pigeonhole the brand into one niche, and deliberately choosing physical retail over social media dependency played a central role in scaling Grenade from two people working out of a house to a company courted by Mondelez.
He also reflects on the emotional weight of building something with no salary for the first four years, the discipline of dividing roles with his then-wife Jules as co-founder, and the strange, nervy months leading up to finally letting go of a business he calls "our baby." Alan discusses leadership, timing, mentoring the next generation of founders through Virgin StartUp, and what long-term success actually looks like once the exceptional wealth is no longer the thing that gets you out of bed in the morning.
This is the eventful life of Mr Al Barratt.
