In this episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie is joined by Juan Aguilera! Juan is a Venezuelan‑born entrepreneur and leadership coach now based in New Zealand. With an MBA and a former career as an electronic engineer, he has built a diverse investment portfolio spanning property, angel investing, and cryptocurrency. As a coach, he works with both corporate leaders and emerging entrepreneurs, focusing on mindset and leadership development.
The conversation explores Juan’s three‑pronged investment strategy — property for cashflow, angel investing in start‑ups, and cryptocurrency as a hedge against fiat currency. He highlights New Zealand’s supportive entrepreneurship ecosystem, referencing organisations such as FKA’s free Thursday clinics and Icehouse Ventures as vital resources for founders.
Key themes include the role of financial literacy and mindset in wealth creation, the psychological barriers people face around money (such as “tall poppy syndrome” in Australia and New Zealand), and redefining personal success beyond purely financial goals. Juan also discusses long‑term planning, including end‑of‑life considerations and family conversations about money, and offers practical advice for beginners: educate yourself, live within your means, and monetise your passions and skills.
