Kirsty Mattiazzo - The Truth About Darwin Property
Fifteen years ago, Darwin was riding high as one of the country’s hottest property markets. Then the hype fizzled, and the city stepped into the shadows while other markets took the spotlight.
Darwin never really went away. It’s just been quietly ticking along, waiting for its moment. And is now that time?
I’ve been hearing more chatter about Darwin lately, its potential, its quirks, and whether it’s ready to take centre stage again. That got me thinking. Is Darwin worth a second look for property investors, or is it still too soon to call?
In this episode, Jef Miles will be sitting down with Todd Sloan as co host, with Kirsty Mattiazzo someone who knows Darwin’s market inside and out.
Together, they'll take a good, hard look at what’s really happening in the “Top End.”
Darwin’s been quietly waiting in the wings for years. Maybe now’s the time to see what it has to offer?
Topics we'll be talking about include:
How The Darwin Market Stacks Up - An Around The Grounds Look At What's Going On! This one is bound to be juicy and actionable.
What The Key Legislation To Consider When Investing In Darwin Is.
Key Insights On What's Going On In The Top End.

Aaron Whybrow - How To Finance Your $150K Passive Income Portfolio
Do you remember playing "The Floor is Lava" as a kid? I do. It was the best, wasn’t it?
Jumping from couch to coffee table, leaving an absolute disaster of a lounge room in your wake, all to avoid touching the floor.
No major risks except maybe a stubbed toe or mum yelling at you for ruining the cushions.
Well, property investing feels a bit like that sometimes. Except the stakes are way higher. The floor isn’t lava, it’s financial ris, and getting it wrong? Yeah, that can burn a whole lot worse.
This is why understanding the game of property isn’t just about bricks, mortar, and beautiful paint jobs.
It’s about money. How you leverage it. Where you invest it. And what moves you make next.
It’s strategic. It’s calculated. And without the right guidance, it can feel like you’re hopping blindfolded from sofa to sofa
That’s why we're bringing on the finance prop Whybrow.
He knows how to turn it into passive income. We're running a live session on how to build a $150,000-a-year income from property investments.
This is the stuff that could change the game for you!
Topics we'll be talking about include:

Where Investors Are Going Wrong With Lending.
How Investors Can Boost Their Borrowing Capacity in 2025.

Dave Gow - Are Shares Better Than Property For Financial Freedom
FIRE🔥: Financial Independence, Retire Early—sounds amazing on paper. But the deeper I dig, the more I find myself wondering if it's as straightforward as it seems.
That’s why I’m excited to talk with Dave Gow and get some real insights into these challenges.
One big concern is the level of sacrifice. Cutting expenses to the bone and delaying gratification for years is overwhelming.
The question is—how do you strike a balance between aggressively saving and still enjoying life in the moment? A life without dinners out or small luxuries sounds rough.
Also, is early retirement really the goal?
A lot of people hit FIRE and find they don’t actually want to stop working. They go back to work, start businesses, or look for meaningful projects. Maybe it’s not about quitting, but having the choice?
Dave reached financial independence by 28, so he knows the highs and lows firsthand. What questions have you got for this session?

Daniel Domingues - How This Investor Built A Passive Income Empire
You know that feeling when you're starting over from scratch? Whether it’s in a new country, a new career, or just trying to rebuild after life throws you a curveball—it can be tough.
But what if I told you that starting from scratch could actually be your biggest advantage? The most successful people I know started with less than $0.
That’s exactly what happened to Daniel Domingues. When he came to Australia, he had no safety net, just pure determination.
And from that, he’s managed to build a multi-million-dollar property portfolio. Now, he’s switching gears, moving towards passive income, and he’s here to share the step-by-step on how he’s done it.
What I love about Dan’s story is that it’s not just about numbers. it’s about mindset. The relentless drive to make it work when failure isn't an option. Whether you’re a migrant or just someone who feels like you’re starting from zero, this session is going to resonate with you.
