Proven company growth

2000

Startup “Fastcom”

In 2000, Paul and his wife Nikki created the mortgage packager “Fastcom.” Here they turned a vision into a business that went from zero to a turnover of approximately £1 million, in the first 12 months of trading. Paul subsequently created the Packager Association ‘Freehold’ and the lender associated with it.

2012

Funding Circle

In 2012 the founders of Funding Circle requested Paul’s help in establishing their intermediary distribution strategy. Funding Circle completed an IPO in 2018 at a valuation of £1.5 billion.

2015

Foundation Homeloans

In early 2015, Paul was brought in as a consultant to help shape the launch of Foundation Home Loans. Within just six weeks, he had created a full product suite, developed the brand’s go-to-market strategy, launched the website, and secured national distribution. His leadership laid the groundwork for the lender’s market entry—demonstrating his ability to deliver high-impact results at speed and scale.

2017

Landbay

In 2017, Paul joined Landbay to lead its sales and distribution strategy. His leadership played a key role in driving national growth and enhancing the lender’s market presence. During his time at Landbay, the business became one of the most highly awarded buy-to-let lenders in the UK, recognised for both service and innovation.

Duncan’s work focuses on helping individuals align their conscious and unconscious minds to overcome internal resistance and create meaningful change. His method blends neuroscience, identity shifting, and structured intention to help people move rapidly towards their goals.

You’re Not Broken — You’re a Creator

At the heart of Chris Duncan’s Magnetic Mind method is a powerful belief: you’re not broken, and you don’t need fixing. You are a creator, fully capable of designing a life that aligns with what truly matters to you. This approach reconnects you with your ability to choose, create, and live with intention—without being defined by your past.

Clarity Begins with a True End Result

Change starts with knowing exactly what you want, not just what you think is possible. The Magnetic Mind method helps you identify your “true end result”—a vision that inspires and aligns with who you are at your core. When you anchor to that deeper goal, your actions become clearer, your energy more focused, and progress more natural.

Structural Tension

To create meaningful change, you first need to see the gap between where you are now and where you want to be. This gap creates what’s called structural tension—a powerful pull that moves you forward. Instead of forcing results, this tension naturally draws you toward your desired future when you stay aligned and focused.

Recode Identity to Remove Resistance

So much of what holds us back isn’t external, it’s the internal patterns, beliefs, and identity structures we’ve unconsciously adopted. The Magnetic Mind method uses a process called “recode” to shift these at the source. It helps you remove resistance and unlock new ways of thinking and behaving, so you can move forward with greater ease and impact.
