Meet Mila Holmes, an amazingly disciplined and driven Winter Series guest who, together with her partner, owns a property portfolio worth nearly $2M.   

But growing up....? 

There was one morning when she and her family woke up with their entire life savings WIPED. 😱 

Mila shares what it was like to experience this, from growing up living with 10 other people (yep...housing in USSR is VERY different to Australia) and rampant debt levels to how she made the brave, life-changing decision to move to Australia - by herself.

We’ll cover TONS of gold from her winning “Scientific Approach” to investing to how she became MoneySMART including aligning partner money personalities and getting a property plan. 

And if this wasn’t enough, we’ll cover how she’s flourished in the last 14 months of rate rises AND has come to own an absolute 70s gem in Surfers Paradise.

Meet Jason Bird, today’s super special Winter Series guest. Although, this probably isn’t the FIRST time you’ve ever heard of him because today’s guest is also...

Former Scandal'us pop star from the 90’s hit show Pop Stars!! 😮 

Yep.  We got to sit down with an incredibly humble and inspiring former pop star with a truly mind-blowing story to share.

We’ll be starting right back at the beginning, before the fame and worldwide tours, to when recessions and failing family businesses were his reality...

Tune in as we follow Jason's inspiring rise to fame as he becomes an overnight sensation, lives the glamorous life of a pop star, and how, with its abrupt end, he pivots to build a 3 property portfolio (and growing!). 

And did we mention, he flips a house earning him $400k.... tax-free?!?!?   

It’s true. Today’s episode will have you on the edge of your seat as we get a sneak peek at how much Australian pop stars really earn, see the TRUE value of transparent money conversations and the terrifying consequences of having a negative credit score (Seriously, tune in to 27:48 now folks).

Today we’re continuing our inspirational 2023 Winter Series with a story from a true Aussie battler....

Meet Laraine, a nurse in the Trauma Centre Emergency Department who, until very recently, didn’t think she could see an endpoint. 

As she would later share with us...

“I have been kicked and knocked out, and I get sworn at every shift (literally).  I stay for the people that we can save as a team. However, sometimes the sadness is relentless. So what today's meeting gave me was an endpoint.”  

What happened in this meeting, and the complete psychological and self-belief transformation that Laraine undertook is completely mind-blowing, yet it is just ONE amazing and heartwarming chapter in her remarkable tale.

Tune in now to hear how she grew beyond a family environment with absolutely NO money conversations to living her life as a battler and later overcoming her own self-limiting beliefs to find her financial confidence despite Australia’s interest rate hikes. 

We promise you – this is one episode that’ll completely blow your mind!  Give it a listen now folks 😊

It's that time of year again, folks! Today marks the exciting beginning of our highly anticipated 2023 Winter Series. 

Get ready for an extraordinary lineup of guests, each with their own awe-inspiring stories that revolve around this year's captivating theme: "What Drove You To Act." 

Drawing inspiration from those pivotal moments we see in movies, the light bulb moments and "A-ha" breakthroughs, we delve into the driving forces behind every successful investor's property journey. 

We kickstart this incredible series with our first guest, Adam. Join us on this transformative journey as we uncover the importance of prioritizing the "big rocks" in the jar of life. We'll flip the pages and delve into strategies for building resilience, even when confidence takes a hit. 

We navigate the complexities of finances with insights on the "sleep at night tax" and the power of compromise and sacrifice. We'll confront the venomous obstacles that can hinder progress and emphasize the crucial role of honesty and openness. 

Prepare to wade through murky waters, armed with the tools and knowledge to come out stronger on the other side. Reflecting on our experiences takes courage, however, Adam reminds us that amidst the challenges, it's essential to enjoy yourself and reward your efforts when times are good. 

Join us as we unlock the potential of sonic tools and discover why a poor man pays twice. And of course, we'll sprinkle in some light-heartedness with a mention of Spaghetti Bolognese.
