    The Two Russells with Tony Morris

    What does it take to become one of the UK’s leading communication and motivational speakers for estate agency when you’ve never actually worked as an estate agent? In Episode 58 of The Two Russells Podcast, Russell Quirk and Russell Jervis are joined by Tony Morris, founder of Agency Titans and Tony Morris International, for an inspiring and thought-provoking conversation about mindset, communication, leadership and what really drives success. Tony’s journey is anything but conventional. From selling gas and electricity in a call centre, to software sales, to selling encyclopaedias door-to-door in Sydney while travelling the world, every chapter taught him something about persuasion, resilience and human behaviour. Those lessons eventually led him to launch his own training business in 2006, helping agency owners unlock performance they never believed possible. The conversation explores the psychology behind commanding fees rather than simply charging them, the power of language, why terminology matters, and how great leaders get the very best out of their people. Tony explains why he gets such a buzz from helping others achieve breakthroughs and why speaking live remains one of his greatest passions. Away from business, Tony also opens up about his personal journey. He reflects on his upbringing, being bullied at school, the devastating loss of his father just as his business was taking off and shortly before his wedding, and his recent diagnosis of bipolar disorder. It’s an honest and refreshingly open conversation that shows the person behind the coach. Whether you’re an estate agent, business owner or simply fascinated by what makes people perform at their best, this episode is packed with practical insights and powerful stories. 🎙️ Watch the full episode now. 📅 If you’d like to experience Tony’s coaching first-hand, his Optimised Agency Workshop takes place on 21st July and is designed specifically for ambitious estate agency owners looking to take their businesses to the next level.

    The Two Russells with Graham Patterson

    Buying a £5 book online is seamless. Buying a home, one of life’s biggest decisions, often feels chaotic, slow and stacked against the buyer. In Episode 52 of The Two Russells Podcast, Russell Quirk and Russell Jervis are joined by Graham Patterson, Co-Founder of Jitty, the AI-driven property platform aiming to rebuild the homebuying experience from the ground up. After careers designing intuitive digital products at Deliveroo, Graham and his co-founders all bought homes at the same stage of life and shared the same realisation: The system felt broken. Multiple portals to check daily. Endless map searching for schools and lifestyle needs. Unclear transactional processes. No trusted guidance on brokers or conveyancers. And a sense that nobody in the process was truly on the buyer’s side. So, they built Jitty! Not as another portal, but as a property search engine, helping buyers understand homes properly before they even book a viewing. In this episode, Graham shares: • Why property search hasn’t evolved with the internet • How AI can bring clarity and control back to buyers • The reality of raising early-stage funding (including 80 investor conversations) • Support from REA and Google’s AI fund • The pressure, and personal resilience, behind startup life • Advice for anyone considering an entrepreneurial leap Plus, a lighter moment as Graham reveals how he switches off from startup intensity and receives an unexpected musical request from the Russells.

    The Two Russells with Steve Eakins

    From Ceefax Leads… to Instagram Introductions Over half a century of podcast studio sessions for Russell and Russell… and the guests keep delivering. This week, Russell Quirk and Russell Jervis are joined by Steve Eakins, Key Partner Director at Lumon, the currency specialist trusted by agents, buyers and investors navigating international property transactions. Often saved in phones as “Steve Currency” or “Steve Money”, Steve works at the point where property and global finance collide, helping clients move funds smoothly when relocating, investing overseas, or returning to the UK. With 17 years at Lumon (a 25-year-old business now 200+ strong), Steve shares remarkable insight into the scale of modern property movement: • £25 million transferred daily • £10 billion moved last year alone • Europe’s strongest demand across Spain, Portugal and France • A growing trend of Brits leaving the UK while Americans increasingly move in And crucially, how real transaction data gives a clearer picture of whether the widely reported “millionaires leaving Britain” narrative truly reflects what’s happening on the ground. The conversation explores why currency brokers are now introduced at valuation stage, how better exchange rates and service can secure transactions, and why agents are referring clients earlier than ever. But this episode goes far beyond numbers. Steve talks openly about: • Building a career while navigating dyslexia • Starting out selling Chupa Chups with nothing but a van and an A–Z • Working for free to prove himself at Lumon • The realities of servicing a truly global client base across time zones From first-time overseas buyers transferring £220,000 to multi-million-pound transactions, this is a fascinating look at the hidden engine behind international property deals, and what global money flows reveal about where people are really moving. Insightful, practical, and packed with real-world stories.
