482 | Why Your Financial Habits Aren’t Sticking

 

We all know money is simple, but behaviour is hard. 

So what can we do to create lasting financial habits and behaviours instead of falling back into old money habits?   

Folks, in today’s episode, we’re sharing a scientifically backed solution that’ll reveal how to achieve your goals financially and in life.  

From introducing feedback loops to creating accountability (and that’s just the tip of the iceberg), we’re uncovering how these can be used to boost goal achievement, motivation, self-efficacy, and more!  

It’s a revolutionary episode where we dive beyond the waters of investing psychology and into the deeper, murkier waters of why humans act the way we do. Give it a listen now!

471 | How He Built His $2.3M Property Portfolio After Leaving School At Just 16 – Chat with Ethan

 

Folks, today marks the first episode of our much anticipated 2023/24 Summer Series!

We’re extraordinarily excited to sit down with some amazing listeners and dig into their money story, explore the steps they took to build their property portfolios and ultimately unpack the intriguing question (which is also the theme of this series…)

“What does money mean to YOU?”

As our 6th Summer Series, we’re spending this season digging deep into the psyche of the investor, understanding what motivates us ultimately as humans and understanding how we can use this knowledge to bolster us on our property journeys.

 

 

To start us off, we’re welcoming an incredibly hardworking and humble guest who realised at a young age that if he wanted anything in this life, he would have to make it happen himself. 

Ethan, today’s Summer Series guest, grew up with a younger brother with Down Syndrome and at just 16 years old,  was diagnosed with depression. Knowing that the school teaching system wasn’t working for him, he left school shortly after.

Over the next 14 years, Ethan has completely transformed his circumstances and now owns a 5-property portfolio worth 2.3 million dollars. 🤯

Tune in to discover how he bought his first property at 18 while earning apprentice wages (He was on $6 an hour folks!), why he continues to invest in Wodonga and the benefit of having a strong network and great tenants.  

Ethan was recently diagnosed with Aspergers, adding another layer to his incredible journey.    

 

Thank you for blasting off our 2023/24 Summer Series Ethan, what a truly motivational tale that showcases the importance of hard work and highlights that young people can get onto the property ladder!

470 | What Money Means to YOU!

 

Folks, as the LAST episode for 2023 before we kick off our inspiring 2023/24 Summer Series, we’re focusing on a question that looks at the heart of what we do (and not just as a podcast but through our advisory business):  

What Does Money Mean to YOU!?  

To properly dig into this question, we’re unpacking the psyche of the investor through one of America’s greatest psychologists and combining it with data from THOUSANDS of respondents to explore…  

👉 The #2 biggest reasons that investors seek money (+ why they’re critical to our overall wellbeing)

👉 54 of the most common reasons people want to build their wealth

👉 How an individual’s financial freedom fits into Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

👉 How Time Wealth drastically improves your life

👉 The #1 thing that will ALWAYS lead to financial stress

👉 What does financial independence really look like?

👉 If you don’t know your cashflow, you risk… 

 Plus tons more gold! As rates and cost of living continue to rise, this super topical episode will help you remember – and solidify – your why. Listen in now!

Where are all the property investors going? (On REAL Talk Podcast) – August ’23

We’ve all heard the misconceptions about property investors – how they’re often painted as greedy landlords who love raising rents and spend their time swimming in a mountain of cash.

In this bonus episode – originally recorded for the Real Talk podcast (aka the realestate.com.au podcast) – we debunk some of the popular myths around property investment!

Hosted by Alice Piper, this episode features our very own Bryce Holdaway, as well as senior PropTrack economist Paul Ryan.

Before joining REA in late 2020, Paul spent a decade at the Reserve Bank of Australia conducting research on the Australian economy, focusing on housing markets, lending risks and regulatory effects on property markets.

He has also been featured on Episode 459 of our podcast, where we chat about how to solve Australia’s growing demand for property!
