He Failed at Business, Changed Jobs Every Year… Then Built One of eXp’s Biggest Teams

Most people see the success.

They don’t see the failed businesses, the pink party bus with a stripper pole, the years of job hopping, or the nearly 12 months without earning a penny.

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Gunn for one of the most honest conversations I’ve had on the podcast.

We get into:

• Why he never stayed in a job longer than a year
• The reality of starting out self-employed
• Remortgaging his house to launch his business
• Driving around in a barely functioning VW Golf while trying to win instructions
• The early days of eXp in the UK, when hardly anyone believed it would work
• How Footprints grew from a log cabin into one of the biggest teams in eXp UK
• Why most agents completely misunderstand what self-employed estate agency actually is
• The difference between building income and building something meaningful

There’s also a brilliant discussion around team culture, freedom, growth, and why some agents should scale… and some absolutely shouldn’t.

Scott is open, funny, self-aware and refreshingly honest about the highs, lows and chaos that come with building a business.

If you’ve ever thought about going self-employed, building a team, or creating a business that works differently to the traditional high street model, this one’s well worth your time.
