In this episode of Allsorts Property with Joe Burns, I sit down with Haseeb Akram for a powerful conversation that goes far deeper than business or fitness.

Haseeb opens up about losing his dad and how that completely changed his outlook on life, forcing him to reevaluate everything — from success and purpose to the direction he wanted his life to go in.

Although Haseeb previously built a property portfolio in London before eventually selling up and moving away, this episode became much more about mindset, personal growth, discipline and life after loss rather than property itself.

We talk about:

• Losing a parent and the impact it had
• Reevaluating life and priorities
• Discipline and mental strength
• Building Mighty Mass Club
• Business pressure and sacrifice
• Why so many people stay stuck
• The importance of purpose and consistency
