S4E3 - Superannuation, Sport and Self-Belief with @johurley_
In this episode Carmen speaks to Jo Hurley who built her own self-managed superannuation business, sold it to Deloitte, and retired at 39, but her story goes far beyond financial milestones. She opens up about burnout, rebuilding her mental health, and the skill sets that helped her shift out of survival mode and into a life driven by clarity and purpose.
Jo unpacks the world of self-managed super in simple, practical language - from when to consider starting one, to common mistakes, key differences from big funds, and who it’s best suited to. Jo also answers listener questions around risks, minimum balances, and how to get started with confidence.
Beyond finance, Jo shares her journey into triathlon, how she became an Ironman 70.3 World Championship athlete, and why setting aligned goals (and allowing different versions of yourself) matters more than ever. This conversation blends financial empowerment, resilience, and personal evolution - offering both knowledge and inspiration.
