Navigating Risk in Real Estate Investment

In this episode we dive into the incredible story of Carson Bolt from Unemployable Property who went from cleaning carpets to building a property development pipeline worth hundreds of millions. We explore how he and his son uncovered a $13 million land deal from a simple online search and break down the strategies behind securing big projects with little money down. We discuss the challenges and opportunities in Australian property development, the role of councils and local MPs in unlocking deals, and why difficult sites often bring the biggest rewards. The conversation then shifts to the rapid rise of AI, the recent Atlassian job cuts, and what this means for the Australian workforce and economy over the next decade. We unpack the potential risks and opportunities of this technology driven shift, the broader implications for capitalism and government policy, and the urgent need for Australians to adapt. We also tackle issues like gambling among young people, political accountability, and the future of energy and resources in Australia.
