Have you ever felt like you've hit a ceiling in your career? What does it take to leave a 20-year profession and chase a new passion, especially with a family to support?

In this episode, we sit down with Hayden Waititi-Parata, the founder of Simple Home Buyers, who did exactly that. For over two decades, Hayden lived and breathed the construction industry, climbing the corporate ladder from a 15-year-old labourer to a commercial manager. But a "light bulb moment" in property investing revealed a new path, one with no ceiling and the potential to create true generational wealth.

Hayden shares his incredible story of transitioning from the rough-and-tumble world of construction sites to guiding families through the complexities of the Australian property market. He gets candid about the highs and lows of his journey: the self-doubt, the challenge of putting himself out there, and the four-month grind it took to sign his first client.
