In this episode, we take you on an extraordinary journey of resilience, adaptability, and relentless ambition. Our guest; Simon Cooke shares a powerful story that begins with a love for sports and outdoor activities, rather than academics, and evolves into a remarkable career in the world of real estate and investment.

From growing up in a non-academic environment, yet thriving in outdoor pursuits and eventually getting accepted into Cambridge to study Archaeology and Anthropology to the founding of APAM in 2010; a multi-faceted business focused on people over profit, hear about the impactful initiatives like the annual sports day in Zambia and the 2041 school project, which educates children globally about the Antarctica with the help of Robert Swan and Joanna Lumley.

This episode is packed with inspiring lessons on perseverance, the power of human connections, and the importance of making a positive impact on the world.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

See you next time,

Steve
