In this episode of the Ambitious Lifestyle Business Podcast, John and Jason interview One Percenter Simon Fisher, who describes himself as "that property guy from Torbay who loves networking, travelling, sport & business."

Simon shares his journey navigating various business ventures, including web design, mortgage brokering, a jet ski business and an estate agency.

He discusses the importance of seizing opportunities, the challenges faced in different markets, and the dynamics of running a family business. Simon also reflects on the concept of a 'false exit' and how he plans to continue contributing to his business while delegating responsibilities to his family.

In this conversation, Simon Fisher discusses the evolution of his business and personal mindset, emphasising the importance of delegation, building a diverse leadership team, and creating a sustainable business model that aligns with his lifestyle goals.

He shares insights from his journey, including the impact of running on his mindset, the value of mentorship, and the necessity of letting go of control to empower his team. Simon also reflects on the challenges of small business ownership and the importance of adapting to changes in the market.


Hosted by John Lamerton and Jason Brockman, who are themselves ambitious lifestyle business owners, the Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast is built on a practical, sustainable premise. It moves beyond the exhausting hustle culture to explore how consistent, manageable improvements lead to significant growth. The focus is on actionable strategies for attracting more customers and increasing revenue, but crucially, without simply trading more hours for dollars. Each conversation digs into the systems, mindset shifts, and marketing approaches that allow you to build a business that supports your life, not the other way around. You'll hear from the hosts' direct experience and from a variety of practitioners who prioritize efficiency and freedom. This isn't about theoretical fluff; it's about the real, incremental tweaks you can implement to create a more resilient and profitable operation. Tune in for a candid discussion on working smarter, where the goal is a thriving business that affords you the time and energy for the things that matter most. The Ambitious Lifestyle Business podcast offers a refreshingly honest take on entrepreneurship, proving that ambition and lifestyle don't have to be opposing forces.
