Today’s conversation is with Scott Weir - entrepreneur, property investor, founder of Pillow Partners and Pillow Safe Havens, and a Krav Maga instructor.

But Scott’s story starts in a very different place.

He grew up in an incredibly difficult environment raised by a single alcoholic mother, often living without electricity, stealing food to survive, and surrounded by people heading down dangerous paths involving crime and drugs.

In this conversation, Scott shares how he escaped that environment by joining the Royal Navy at just 16 years old, saving his wages while at sea, and buying his first buy-to-let property at only 17.

We discuss the mindset required to break generational patterns, the importance of environment, and how Scott navigated seeing childhood friends fall into crime and heroin while he pursued a completely different path.

Scott also opens up about being diagnosed with dyslexia later in life, how that completely changed the way he viewed himself intellectually, and why he now sees his neurodivergent brain as both a superpower and something that nearly destroyed his business twice.

We also dive into martial arts, Krav Maga, business growth, building Pillow Partners over the last 20 years, adapting a company to survive modern economic pressures, and his outspoken views on UK politics, property ownership, and the future of entrepreneurship in Britain.
