Anna sits down with Australia’s #1 property investment coach Olivia Ward for a fast, fiery masterclass on building wealth in a world of money printing and rising costs. If you’ve wondered why property keeps winning, how debt can become less scary with inflation, and what “$1M net worth = $50–70k passive income” actually means in real life, this one’s your playbook.

Why property? The real reason real estate benefits when governments print money and how rents & prices move.

Inflation 101 (plain-English): Understanding the “hurdle rate” you must beat just to avoid getting poorer.

Debt vs. inflation: When leverage can work for you (and where it can’t).

The $1M rule of thumb: Why $1M in net assets often maps to $50–70k/yr passive income.

Business, Property, Bitcoin: Olivia’s top 3 wealth engines and how to think about each.

Rentvesting & equity: The case for not paying off your home first; using equity to buy investment properties.

Taxes & policy shifts: Land tax, CGT chatter, stimulus cycles and how to think strategically, not emotionally.

Crash talk & cycles: Macro vs. micro and why suburbs are their own markets and what 2026–27 could look like.

Anti-fragility: Your first asset is you - skills, mindset, and cash buffers to ride the storms.

Starting from scratch: Free ways to learn, build confidence, and pick your primary asset class.
