Meet Alexander Lee: From uni grad to 3 investment properties and a wealth mindset that’ll inspire you to rethink everything

What if your first property wasn’t just a financial move, but the beginning of a new way of thinking?

In this episode, I sit down with longtime friend and former mentee, Alexander Lee, an FX trader, CFA charterholder, and someone who’s quietly built a three-property portfolio while staying grounded, strategic, and values-driven. From humble beginnings as a uni student trying to structure his resumé, to climbing the ranks at global firms like UBS and Bentham Asset Management, Alex shares the mindset shifts, sacrifices, and lessons that have shaped his approach to wealth, lifestyle, and risk.

We dive deep into his philosophy around debt, diversification, and living below your means, even as your income grows. If you’re looking for real talk from someone who's walked the path (and done it thoughtfully), this is the one to tune into.

Meet Colin Lewis: The financial strategist every Australian family needs to hear from

What happens when love, legacy, and property collide? In this episode, I sit down with Colin Lewis, one of the most respected financial commentators in Australia, for a conversation that every parent, aspiring homeowner, and self-employed business owner needs to hear.

Colin is known for cutting through the noise, and today, he unpacks the real implications of the "Bank of Mum and Dad," co-ownership with children, and the often-overlooked risks of guarantees and gifts. But this chat goes beyond just money, it’s about relationships, responsibilities, and the blind spots we don’t know we have.

We talk about strategic financial advice, asset protection, navigating Centrelink rules, and how to build a financial future without sacrificing your family dynamic.
