Strong Money Podcast

In this episode, I walk through how I came to the conclusion that it made sense to allocate $100,000 to Bitcoin. I’ll explain where my thinking has changed from before (as well as what's still the same), how I went about it, and why it aligns with my thinking in recent years.

In this episode, I share a few more lessons and reflections from having freedom in my 30s.  Hopefully it gives you a feel for what this kind of life is like - at least what it’s been like for me.  And importantly, the fact that these were all lessons and realisations for me points out you just can’t know what you’re going to learn on the other side until you do it.

In this episode, I'm pushing back on the doomer narrative that home ownership is basically impossible in Australia. I firmly believe it’s a game you can still win, but not by doing what everyone else does.
