In this episode, James Sinclair speaks with Ryan, CEO of Sustainable Compliance, who has built a profitable compliance business that operates in the property sector. Ryan initially focused on creating a property portfolio but shifted his attention to business after recognizing the potential for wealth building through entrepreneurship.

Ryan shares impressive numbers about his company, which has generated significant revenue in its first two years. However, he faces challenges, including moving from project-based income to reliable recurring income and finding the right operational staff to manage the business without relying on him completely.

Throughout the podcast, Ryan discusses his aspirations for the business, which include growth goals and the desire to acquire complementary companies. He provides insight into supported housing compliance and its complexity, including how he approaches property investments with minimal stress while still generating income.
