Olympic Endeavours: Seizing the Once in a Lifetime Opportunity in South East Queensland with Simon Kuestenmacher
Welcome to today's show where leading demographer Simon Kuestenmacher and I explore the potential for Olympic-driven growth in the lead-up to the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games. As history has shown us, the Olympics can serve as a catalyst for urban development and long-lasting change, turning South East Queensland into a highly connected and liveable region. However, with Australia grappling with an approximately 20-year infrastructure backlog, the challenge of balancing this new development with the needs of a growing population is ever-present. In today’s show, we'll delve into the importance of timely infrastructure development, learning from the success stories of Olympic host cities like Barcelona and Munich, and exploring the ambitious vision for SEQ as a thriving, interconnected megacity. We will also discuss the challenges that SEQ faces, and the future of this dynamic and evolving region. If you live in Queensland this information will be vital for you, and of course as a property investor it will be important to understand these things if you have any interest in investing in Brisbane, Australia’s new world city.

Today I’ll be chatting with Mark Creedon, and unpacking a somewhat controversial topic: Why, despite all the challenges and problems we face today, this is truly the best time in history to be alive. I’ve found that in this fast-paced world filled with uncertainty, it's all too easy to get bogged down by the negative news and lose sight of the incredible advancements and opportunities surrounding us. But today, Mark and I will delve into the many reasons why we believe that the present is a gift, and how it offers unprecedented opportunities for growth, success, and happiness. Together, we'll explore the remarkable progress we've made in technology, medicine, and communication, as well as the increasing global interconnectedness that has fostered collaboration and innovation like never before.
