    In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of how I actually run a profitable British hotel in 2026 – not the flashy 20-second TikTok clips, but the real numbers, real strategy, and real work that goes into making this model succeed.

    I rent this hotel for £6,500 per month, yet we’re generating over £80,000 in monthly revenue. But here’s the truth – you can’t just stick a hotel on Airbnb and hope for the best. This video breaks down the marketing, management, systems, negotiations, tax strategy, and long-term planning that most people never talk about.

    From YouTuber to Property Millionaire in 12 Months

    In this powerful episode of Samuel Leeds Success Stories, we share the remarkable journey of Ashley Humphries - a former physiotherapist and full-time YouTuber who transformed his life through property investing. After travelling to 60 countries and gaining thousands of online followers, Ashley realised that YouTube wasn’t providing long-term fulfilment or financial stability. Everything changed when he attended Samuel’s legendary Crash Course and joined the Academy.

    Just 12 months later, Ashley went from living in his overdraft to becoming a full-time property entrepreneur with multiple rent-to-rent serviced accommodation units, a thriving management business, and an average profit of £5,000 per month. His story is a testament to what happens when you learn the right strategies, surround yourself with ambitious people, and take massive action every day.

    In today’s Success Stories episode, we sit down with Shannon - one of the most inspiring property entrepreneurs I’ve ever met. Her journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From battling severe postnatal depression and feeling completely lost, to building a thriving serviced accommodation empire, securing 25 units, landing a hotel, and now negotiating an 83-bed deal… her transformation is jaw–dropping.

    This is not just a story about property. It’s a story about courage, purpose and refusing to let your lowest moments define you. Shannon opens up about depression, motherhood, imposter syndrome, rapid scaling, building systems, forming powerful partnerships, running an inner circle, and the mindset that turned everything around.

    If you’re a mum, if you’re struggling, if you’re new to property, or if you simply need a reminder that you can do big things, this interview will hit you right in the heart.

    Keeping Over This Much Money In a UK Bank Is DANGEROUS (Do This Instead)
    Dec 12 2025
    ➡️ Join Samuel Leeds' Free Online Training https://www.samuelleeds.com/

    Most people think keeping their savings in a UK bank is the safest thing to do - but what if I told you it’s actually one of the riskiest financial moves you can make? In this episode, I expose the truth about the banking system, inflation, and why your hard-earned cash is losing value every single day.

    I’ll explain how the Bank of England can print unlimited money, how inflation silently erodes your wealth, and how the rich get richer by doing the opposite of what the average person does. Instead of working hard for money, I’ll show you how to make money work for you through property investment, asset ownership, and smart wealth-building strategies.

    If you’ve ever wondered why house prices keep going up while your savings buy less and less, this episode will open your eyes. I’ll share my personal story - from being refused my own cash at the bank to discovering how to become financially free through property investing.

    🔑 KEY TOPICS COVERED:
    → Why keeping money in a bank is no longer safe or smart
    → How the UK banking system really makes money
    → The dangers of digital currency and government control (CBDCs)
    → Why inflation destroys savings but grows property wealth
    → How the rich legally “borrow fake money” to buy real assets
    → My simple strategy for turning bad money into real wealth
    → The importance of investing in assets like property, gold, and crypto
