Get Invested - Part 2: Simon Lacey on patience, purpose and property over get-rich gimmicks

In a market full of shortcuts, hype, and “get-rich-by-Friday” noise, the real advantage belongs to investors who master the art of shifting gears — between growth and cashflow, and between working hard and actually living well.

In Part 2 of Bushy’s deep-dive with Simon Lacey, an investor with 26 properties to his name, we peel back the curtain on what sustainable, purpose-driven property investing really looks like. Simon shares how he refined his entire “property engine” through co-living, commercial lending, and building a people-first buyer’s agency — all while keeping a long-term, fundamentals-first mindset.

This is an episode for investors who want to resist the lure of the quick win, avoid the traps of short-term thinking, and instead build wealth the way it’s always been built: with clarity, consistency, and calm execution.

Bushy and Simon dig into:

• How to shift gears between growth and cashflow without stalling your strategy

• Why the fundamentals — not the fads — deliver real financial freedom

• How co-living and commercial lending shaped Simon’s investment approach

• The importance of a people-first lens when building a property business

• Why persistence, patience and purpose always pay off in the long run

If you’re ready to tune out the gimmicks and get serious about building a balanced life and a bulletproof portfolio, this episode will show you exactly what it takes.

Are you ready? Then let’s get invested.
