What separates people who successfully build wealth through property from those who stay stuck? 

After thousands of coaching sessions, buyer enquiries, property purchases and podcast interviews, John Pidgeon has seen the patterns firsthand. 

John is the Director of Envisage Property, co-host of the property podcasts This Is Property and a regular contributor on Money Money Money, as well as the bestselling author of Sort Your Property Out & Build Your Future. Over the years, he’s helped thousands of Australians navigate their property journey through coaching, buyer’s advocacy, lending strategy and education.

He’s joined by Ben Kingsley and Couch Crew Luke Oxenham to unpack the biggest lessons from more than 10,000 property conversations, including the mindset shifts successful investors share, the mistakes that quietly hold people back, and why taking action often matters more than finding the perfect strategy. 

You’ll learn: 

  • ✔️ The common traits successful investors share 
  • ✔️ Why procrastination can be your most expensive mistake 
  • ✔️ The role mindset, action and leverage (not just borrowing leverage, either!) play in wealth creation 
  • ✔️ How to think about property during uncertain times 
  • ✔️ The questions investors are asking right now in 2026 
  • ✔️ Why wealth building is a process, not an event 

Because as John explains, after 10,000 property conversations, success rarely comes down to finding the perfect property — it comes down to making consistently good decisions over time. Listen now!
