“I wouldn’t be going on holidays, I wouldn’t be going on those trips or just those little things, I guess the little voice in the back of my head going, “Oh, you sure you can afford that?”  Folks, today’s guest has been through a remarkable journey.  He’s transformed from a state of Financial Anorexia to achieving Financial Peace of Mind – but his tale doesn’t begin as you might think.Jack didn’t grow up scrounging for pennies for the bus or living under a tight budget. Instead, he grew up in a hard-working, small business household where he was already jumping on to help with work at the age of 14!  Basically, Jack knew the value of money and had a strong work ethic from very early on. So…how did he become Financially Anorexic?! And what did he do to get himself out of the paralysis?!That’s just some of the amazing chapters in Jack’s story – just wait till his now-wife, Hannah enters the scene and Jack has to create new Money Norms as a couple!!  It’s a truly motivational tale about taking control of one’s life and facing one’s fears through planning. Thank you for sharing your story with us Jack, it’s a true testament to the power of taking action. Such an uplifting story – tune in now folks.  Free Stuff Mentioned… FREE eBook – Make Money Simple Again FREE MyWealth Portal & Start Your Financial Transformation Today!

“I thought investing was for RICH people, and that’s just what it was. It was something a normal person didn’t do, and now our eyes are open – the possibilities are endless really.”  Growing up in a household with a tight budget and parents working double jobs to feed a family of seven, our second Winter Series guest didn’t have a lot of money conversations around the table… In fact, there was none. Born and bred in Dublin, Anthony graduated into a culture where holidays were funded by loans and you spent everything you had, every week….even when he was working 3 jobs.  And he might’ve kept going down this path if not for his significant other – Carly -who thankfully bought him his first investing book, The Barefoot Investor, at age 27.  Over the next decade, Anthony has turned it all around, transforming from a super spendthrift to a seasoned property investor and renovator.  Find out how he made the jump, the practical lessons and behavioural management skills he’s learned along the way and how he’s “paper trading” his way towards investing success. Such an empowering tale folks, listen now for a big dose of motivation.  Free Stuff Mentioned… FREE eBook – Make Money Simple Again FREE MyWealth Portal & Start Your Financial Transformation Today!

As Australia descends into winter, what better way to celebrate the chill than by kicking off our 2022 Winter Series?!  In this special edition series, we’ll be deep-diving into some of our listener’s personal stories, going behind the scenes to share their challenges and triumphs and exploring how they’re successfully investing in property thanks to the power of planning. We’ve got a very special lineup of guests, all with very different money stories but all with 1 thing in common… They’ve each faced and overcome life’s difficulties and “planned to become, what they planned to become”! Basically, we’re uncovering…how folks are creating long-term plans WITH short-term variations! To open our Winter Series, we’ve got a guest with a real “rags to riches” story – beginning as a refugee in the UK… “We were placed in social housing to begin with in a rough neighbourhood with high crime rates. It was not the kind of place you’d say hi to your neighbours. You’d just keep to yourself.”  Ever since she was young, today’s guest was exposed to the importance of money.  Relocating as a refugee from Vietnam, Kim watched her parents start from scratch, working odd jobs to save money, raising a family and eventually buying their own business.  So how did she evolve from her splurging years to owning 2 investment properties with her partner, well on her way to achieving a $180K per year passive income?!  This one’s a must-listen folks – Kim is articulate, funny and relatable as she recounts journeying to Australia with no job lined up, her initial wacky investing ideas and how long-term planning has helped her to find financial success. Thank you for sharing your story with us Kim – we’re honoured to be opening our first Winter Series with you!! Free Stuff Mentioned… Want to find out the #3 biggest secrets for successful property investing?

While we love to have some good AFL banter on the show, this week’s episode is all about a star from another Aussie sport… We’re jumping into the world of NRL (National Rugby League) with one of its most prominent athletes who played fullback, wing, centre and five-eighth for the Brisbane Broncos. Representing Australia at an international level and playing in the Queensland State of Origin…We’re extremely chuffed to welcome Darius Boyd to the couch!  He captained the Brisbane Broncos from 2017 to 2019 and has an illustrious 15-year career as a professional athlete having won 2 NRL Grand Finals. But folks…as much as we wanted to get lost in sport, this episode peels back the sheets to before Darius was a big sports star back to when “even getting $2 to catch the bus home wasn’t easy…” and he was being raised by his mum and then grandma at 15 years old. It’s a truly powerful tale as we follow Darius as he jumps from growing up with a tight budget to earning more money than he knew how to handle at just 18. We discuss the timeless wisdom he gained being coached by one of sports greatest mentors – Wayne Bennett – the drive that pushed him to become one of NRLs best players and the 5 Simple Steps to find positivity and mental peace.  Tune in now folks, this one’s an inspiring tale!  Free Stuff Mentioned… Have a look at Darius’ associate organisation, the Top Blokes Foundation which focuses on improving young male health and well-being.
