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.

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.

Meet Sam Gordon: The property hurricane redefining wealth, focus and grit in Australia’s market!

Every time Sam Gordon walks into a room, the energy shifts and this conversation was no exception. Sam’s not just a top 1% property investor; he’s a storm of clarity, strategy, and conviction. In this episode, we talk about everything from building a 130+ property portfolio to buying his dream home and Ferrari… but this isn’t about flexing, it’s about what’s possible.

We unpack how 15 years of focus and rentvesting created life-changing momentum, and how most people underestimate what’s achievable in just 12-18 months. Sam opens up about mindset, grit, building a world-class team, and how to think like a business when building a property portfolio.

Jared brings a rare blend of calm authority and real-world insight to the table. We dive deep into what happens when deals go sideways, why bank delays are more common than you think, and how to navigate family dynamics like the Bank of Mum and Dad, without creating legal landmines.

Meet Dr. Ranjodh Singh: The researcher unpacking why property investors quit too soon

What if the biggest threat to your property portfolio wasn’t the market, but your mindset?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Ranjodh Singh, senior economist and research fellow at Curtin University, who led a compelling national study that revealed why nearly half of all property investors sell within just two to four years.

We dig into the numbers and uncover the real-life reasons why people exit early, whether it’s financial stress, mindset, life events, or lack of strategy. Dr. Singh also shares powerful insights into how government policies, rental yields, and tenant turnover are shaping the investor landscape in Australia right now.

What if the rate cuts aren’t just good news, but your signal to move?

In this episode, we unpack the latest RBA rate cut and what it means for property investors, homeowners, and buyers on the fence. A 0.25% reduction might not sound huge, but when you do the maths, it’s hundreds in savings each month and thousands in borrowing power. That’s not just helpful; it’s transformational.

We break down how lower repayments and stronger borrowing capacity are shifting market sentiment and why investor momentum is swinging back hard. From loan strategy and lender timeframes to scaling smart and avoiding costly cash flow mistakes, we don’t just talk finance, we show you how to use it.

If you're wondering whether now’s the time to act, this conversation will help you make a clear, confident move.

The opportunity is here. The only question is: will you take it?
