Meet Jared Zak: The legal backbone behind seamless property deals
What really happens after you sign on the dotted line? In this episode, I sit down with Jared Zak, founder of one of the largest conveyancing firms in New South Wales, to unpack the often-overlooked world behind contracts, settlements, and the emotional rollercoaster of property transactions.
Jared brings a rare blend of calm authority and real-world insight to the table. We dive deep into what happens when deals go sideways, why bank delays are more common than you think, and how to navigate family dynamics like the Bank of Mum and Dad, without creating legal landmines.
Whether you're a first-home buyer, investor, or industry professional, this is a must-listen if you want to understand how to protect yourself, your money, and your peace of mind.
This episode is packed with hard-won lessons, behind-the-scenes stories, and practical advice that could save you thousands and a whole lot of stress.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
