Helping UK ex-pats build wealth through UK property investing!
Steve Cowgill isn’t your typical property investor. A British ex-pat living in the Middle East since 2013, Steve built his portfolio with one clear goal: creating security and opportunities for his family. Now, he balances financial success with family priorities and speaks openly about what really matters - stability, education and doing things the right way.
In this episode of The Engaging Marketeer, Steve shares with Darren his journey from Manchester to the Middle East, his views on business, property and life, and the lessons every ex-pat and investor can take on board. Expect straight-talking insights, practical advice and a perspective that goes beyond money to what lasting success really looks like.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
