Beyond The Numbers with Christian Stevens BONUS EP:

Aaron Christie-David went from corporate banking at Commonwealth Bank to building one of Australia’s top-performing mortgage brokerages in just 10 years.

In this episode of Beyond the Numbers, Christian Stevens sits down with his close friend and mentor to unpack the mindset shifts, team structures, and brutal truths that separate elite brokers from the rest. From leaving a stable corporate career with “no Plan B” to serving the top 1% of property investors, Aaron shares why most brokers plateau, how he built a business that runs without him, and why consistency beats technical brilliance every time.

If you’re a mortgage broker, business owner, or anyone looking to level up your career without sacrificing balance, this is a real conversation about what it actually takes.
