What if the government isn’t coming to save you and never was? In this episode, I get real about what’s holding too many Australians back from building wealth: misplaced reliance on systems that were never designed to serve the individual.
Joined by my team, we unpack the role of personal responsibility in wealth creation, expose the myths around government support, and walk through the exact strategies our clients are using to buy not just one, but multiple properties this year.
This isn’t just about real estate. It’s about mindset. About refusing to hand over your future to policymakers, and instead grabbing life by the horns.
We dive into real scenarios, probation, maternity leave, self-employment, HECS debt, and show you how to overcome each one with a clear, strategic plan.
If you’re ready to stop waiting and start building, this one’s for you.

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.
