In this episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie is joined by Brett Pietersen! Brett is a serial entrepreneur who views entrepreneurship not as what he does, but as who he is. Coming from modest beginnings without significant family wealth, Brett has built a career around identifying market gaps and creating value through private capital allocation across multiple ventures and industries.
The conversation explores Brett’s definition of wealth — having the freedom to pursue what energises you and aligns with your values rather than being forced into situations due to lack of options. He shares his entrepreneurial journey, starting from childhood trading instincts to his breakthrough moment buying a distressed business out of liquidation, which he restructured and scaled from 2.5 million to 230 staff over five years.
Brett also discusses co‑founding BLOXX, a housing company aiming to help 4,500 families into homeownership within three years through an innovative rent‑to‑buy model. He reflects on building tenacity for difficult times, understanding your personal energy sources, and balancing entrepreneurial pursuits with family life. Brett’s philosophy centres on energy — not time — as the most valuable resource in life and business.
