About me

Hi! I’m Rob.

You’ve probably found me through Property Hub, which I co-founded. We help private clients buy more than £100m of property each year, and we’ve hosted one of the UK’s most popular business podcasts for more than a decade.

Or perhaps you know me through Seven Myths About Money or The Price of Money — both Sunday Times bestsellers about how money and the financial system actually work.

Everything I write connects, somehow, to money:

Understanding it: We spend most of our working hours trying to earn it, but where does it come from? The Price of Money is my book-length answer to this... and you might find it disturbing.

Earning it: You can't budget your way to financial freedom. What truly moves the needle is business, investing (including property) and building skills that people will pay you a lot of money for.

Using it: Freedom gives you a dangerous number of options – how do you use them wisely? This is where I end up writing about health, family, learning and random hobbies.

I also send one email per month with the best of what I’ve been thinking about. There’s no spam and nothing for sale. I have an 80% open rate to protect, so you can read a sample first.
