They say that it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, it is how many times you get back up again that counts. And nobody knows that better than former AFL footballer turned financial advisor Brad Symes. Despite breaking bones, being knocked out, concussed and suffering head injuries over 13 times throughout his football career, Brad’s star continued to rise. He went from country footy to playing in the state league, then played in the AFL for both of South Australia’s teams, Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows. He played in two state SANFL league premierships and an AFL grand final. His contribution to the game was recognised towards the end of his career when he shared the State league’s top honour, winning a joint Magarey Medal for player of the season. If you watch the video replays of some of Brad’ bone crunching,  body bouncing incidents, and the earth shuddering severity, it just takes your breath away. But this is the measure of Brad, despite repeated injuries he never failed to go in hard, give 100% and put his body on the line – his repeated bravery, work ethic and commitment is testament to his never say die character. And not surprisingly his success has only started on the sporting field, as he has always had his eye on the longer term and the bigger picture. Brad was one of the few players to complete his university finance degree while playing footy, then he ran a business with his wife and is now enjoying success as a financial advisor with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. So, if you are keen to hear first hand about what it takes to achieve success regardless of the trials and tribulations that life keeps throwing at you, then you’re going to love this chat with Brad Symes.

There’s been a lot of noise about the Banking Royal Commission findings, but for many people questions still remain: How is all this going to affect me? What if anything can I do about it? Who can give me honest objective answers on all of this? Well, over the last few weeks I have been trying to identify someone who’s an expert observer on this important subject – someone independent who is intimately knowledgeable across the full spectrum of property, finance and wealth creation policies, practices and people. Someone who doesn’t have a vested interest. And this is where today’s guest Alex Whitlock is perfectly positioned to give you all of the answers. Alex is a Director of Momentum Intelligence, a multiple award winning media, information and market intelligence business that connects over a million of Australia's professional services communities across the full range of property, real estate, finance, investment, wealth, retirement, legal, defence and Small to Medium Enterprise sectors.  Momentum Intelligence is a leading provider of quantitative research to Australian business leaders. They’ve a proven track record of delivering actionable insights to leading financial intermediaries to help shape their strategic direction in complex markets. Alex’s company has received four consecutive BRW Fast 100 rankings and is recognised as one of Australia's fastest-growing and most progressive media businesses. And Alex also walks the talk in the property arena, as an avid home owner and investor who has accumulated a joint multiple property portfolio currently worth over $7 million. In fact, we start our conversation by getting him to share the intimate details of his journey and learnings in property, so stay tuned. I’ve been a big fan of Alex’s work and his hosting of a number of industry podcasts for a number of years now, including The Smart Property Investment show with his business partner Phil Tarrant. I love his passion, his well-informed insights and his forthright, down to earth ‘tell it like it is’ approach – so there is no-one better to demystify the Banking Royal Commission. And I can’t emphasise enough that we all have a very small window of opportunity to protect ourselves, by pestering and influencing politicians of all persuasions in the next few weeks before the Federal Election. And the quickest and easiest way to make a difference is to do two things: Join the recently formed Property Investment Council of Australia by jumping on www.pica.asn.au/membership and paying just $5/yr to join and build the ranks of other everyday Aussie property owners, so that we have a united apolitical voice to educate and advocate with all governments and protect the interests of all like-minded hard working Australians.

Real estate agents generally rate very high on the instant preconceived judgement scale and very low on the perceived trust rating. This makes it hard for those who are genuinely doing the right thing by sellers and buyers, like Scott McPharlin from Magain Real Estate. As a real estate agent he shares my passion for helping people get to where they want to get to in life through property, and he does this by working very hard for his clients and most importantly, telling the truth. Scott's results are nearly three times faster with over a 93% success rate in property sales. When the industry average is 60%, you really need to compare your agent on the results they have achieved as opposed to the results they say they can achieve. Scott's knowledge, experience and results have been gathered over 12 years in the real estate industry and his down to earth communication systems are second to none. Scott tells it how it is, often to his own personal detriment. A lot of agents tell you what you want to hear to secure your business and then spend the rest of the time talking you down on expectations. It is the opposite with Scott. So, to learn some gems on buying and selling property and what you need to be doing in the current uncertain property market climate, from a trusted and proven performer, I know you are going to enjoy this easy going and straight talking chat with Scott McPharlin.

Dr Michelle Perugini and her husband Dr Don Perugini are 'Life Whisperers' – their ground breaking artificial intelligence business, Life Whisperer, has already had a massive impact on improving IVF outcomes for couples wanting to have children. And their other parallel business, Presagen, is also using AI to make massive inroads into medical diagnostics. All this on top of their award winning human population behaviour predictive analytics software product that was acquired by Ernst & Young and became one of their global suite of analytic products.

They have had to sacrifice everything and put it all on the line early on and then work relentlessly against the odds for many years before they even started to see the fruits of their labour. So to learn what the road to success is really all about, please enjoy this great conversation with Dr Michelle Perugini.
