EP8: John Hume, Abraham Lincoln and Covid19

In this episode I kick things off with a speech from John Hume about Peace, Reconciliation, Respect and Difference. Given the hostile environment globally in the last two weeks, I thought it appropriate to introduce some hope into the show, and given the legacy John Hume has created, no better man to talk about such important matters.  I then go onto share a story about one of my hero's Abraham Lincoln, and explain one of the great skills he possessed which has cemented his place in American history. I think and hope this is one of the big takeaways from episode 8.  In the business section of this weeks show, I was delighted to welcome back Property Pals chief economist, Mr Jordan Buchannon to the show. Jordan and I went onto have another wide ranging conversation where we talk about the housing market, the availability of mortgage products, non performing loans,  and how important human behaviour is to the economy, as we start to open things back up.  We also talk about the future of the office market, and discuss the idea that some experts are openly stating that Covid19 might see an end to companies acquiring office space. It really is another thorough conversation on whats happening right now and how it might impact you, so have a pen and paper at the ready.  In the health section of this week's episode, I devote to explaining in more detail my recovery from MS, and the scientific evidence behind me walking away from medicine, against the advice of my medical team,  and instead implementing a lifestyle approach to managing my condition.   What I have learned over the last 14 years is that drugs are designed to manage disease, not induce health, we do that by changing our environment and completely changing our lifestyle. This episode will take me over the 2000 download point and for that I am truly grateful. The objective at the outset of this project was to create some content, and speak to some people who might inspire, educate and empower some of us to make better choices in life.  I know by the feedback I have received from some of you that I have achieved this, so it has already been a resounding success for me on a personal level and long may it continue. If you would like me to address any issue on the show, please get in touch with me.  Best place is at [email protected]  In the meantime, look after yourselves and have a great week. Conor 💰🌾
