Making Money From The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking: From Those Who Are Already Doing It

In this episode, Jonathan Brown welcomes back Henry Mintzberg to unpack the biggest myths in management and leadership. Drawing on decades of observation and the ideas behind "Bust Those Management Myths", he challenges popular assumptions about what managers do, why leadership gets over-glorified, and how business schools, buzzwords and management fashions can distort the real work of organising people. The discussion also explores why serendipity matters, what remote work can’t fully replace, why AI should be approached with caution rather than hype and how "people disconnect" sits at the centre of so many management failures.

In this special episode, Jonathan Brown sits down with Phil Anderson to revisit the ideas behind The Secret Life of Real Estate and Banking and discuss why 2026 has long been a key date in his forecasting. Phil explains how long-term real estate cycles, commodity cycles, interest rates, and geopolitical conflict can line up to create major turning points in the global economy. Phil also promotes the idea of a Citizen’s Dividend. A system in which the value society creates ultimately flows into land, and if those land earnings were shared more fairly, communities could reduce inequality, stabilise the economy, and even replace many existing taxes.
