Discover how Abdullah Nouh turned setbacks into strategy and why fewer, better property investments can set you freer, sooner.

Have you ever made a decision that left a scar — the kind that quietly becomes your success compass? In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin sits down with Abdullah Nouh, founder of Mecca Property Group, for a powerful conversation about how to turn mistakes into momentum and transform your investing mindset.

Abdullah shares the discipline and precision he learned in construction and mining and how he now applies it to property — putting numbers first and street appeal second. He reveals why the real key to “sleep-at-night” investing is strategy before postcode, quality over quantity, and family and faith over fear and greed.

Across this first part of their two-part discussion, you’ll discover:

• How to convert regret into a roadmap for smarter investing.

• Why a few great assets (including commercial ballast) outperform many average ones.

• How to silence “shiny object syndrome” and focus on results instead of door-counting.

• Why family, faith and service help you stay grounded when the market turns greedy.

Whether you’re a time-poor professional or a seasoned investor, Abdullah’s frameworks will help you filter deals, pick the right pockets and compound forward with confidence.

Abdullah is a values-led, data-driven buyer’s advocate. A husband and father of four, he combines residential growth properties with commercial assets to create cash-flow stability and long-term financial freedom for his clients.

Don’t miss part one of this inspiring two-part series — it’s packed with mindset shifts, practical filters, and real-world lessons you can apply right now to your own property journey.

How can thinking like a founder transform your property investing results?

In Part 2 of Bushy Martin’s interview with Lawrence Lam, discover how the principles behind founder-led companies can unlock sustainable wealth in your property portfolio.

If you’re like most property investors, you’ve been taught to crunch the numbers — rents, yields, rates and depreciation. But the real X-factor behind long-term success isn’t only in the maths; it’s in your mindset. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy continues his conversation with investment strategist and author to unpack The Founder Effect — three key pillars that can help you lead your property journey like a business, not just own bricks and mortar.

Bushy and Lawrence explore how to:

• Apply the three pillars of founder-led investing — Psychological Ownership, Judgment Over Bias and Systemic Scalability — to property

• Build systems, teams and time horizons to move from landlord to business owner

• Use bias checklists, alignment interviews and owner-operator filters to improve your property team

• Invest first in knowledge, then in people, then in assets to play the long game with confidence

If you missed Part 1 of this two-part conversation, go back and hear Lawrence’s story and the foundations of his founder-led investing approach.

Lawrence Lam is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Lumenary Investment Management and author of The Founder Effect. His work is helping a new generation of investors choose depth over speed, people over spreadsheets, and vision over volatility — lessons that property investors can apply right now to future-proof their portfolios.

Smart investors are discovering that success isn’t about chasing hype - it’s about cultivating insight.

In this revealing first conversation with Lawrence Lam, founder and managing director of Lumenary and author of The Founder Effect, Bushy Martin explores why long-term investment success depends more on people, purpose, and principle than on spreadsheets and short-term returns.

Lawrence shares his journey from APRA and high finance to launching a values-driven investment firm that backs founder-led businesses with enduring potential. Along the way, he explains why character, intent, and systems matter more than numbers, how to recognise and reduce the “invisible tax” of bias, and what it means to taste-test investments the way a winemaker judges vintages.

You’ll discover:

• Why return on insight outperforms return on hype

• How judgment is shaped and clouded by unseen bias

• Why leading your wealth journey like a founder helps you avoid following the herd

• How Lawrence’s upbringing and career shaped his philosophy on alignment and long-term conviction

This is part one of a two-part series with Lawrence. Next week, we’ll dive into his book The Founder Effect and the frameworks you can use to invest with clarity and conviction.

So if you’re ready to tune out the noise and start investing with vision, character, and courage — let’s get invested.

Is commercial property the hidden engine room for smart investors?

In this week’s episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin continues his deep dive with commercial property specialist Simon Borham to uncover the secrets, strategies and risks that every aspiring investor needs to understand.

Following on from Part 1, where Simon shared why specialisation wins in property and in life, this conversation zeroes in on the opaque world of commercial property — where opportunities are real but far from obvious. Together, Bushy and Simon unpack:

• Why commercial property is intentionally opaque, and how investors can use this to their advantage

• The critical role of project management skills in property success

• The art and process of negotiation that separates good deals from great ones

• How rent drives value — and the hidden equity that can be unlocked through smart management

• The rules of selection for beginners, including what to look for (and avoid) when stepping into commercial

Simon also explains why timing, due diligence, and price discipline are non-negotiables for investors who want to avoid costly mistakes and build sustainable wealth.

If you’ve been wondering whether commercial property is right for you — and how to secure a high-performing asset in this misunderstood space — this episode is packed with the insights you need.

Why small-scale developers hold the key to solving Australia’s housing crisis – and how you can profit from it.

With more than 1.2 million new homes needed in the next five years to meet government targets — and hundreds of thousands already in deficit — Australia is in the grip of a full-blown housing crisis. Builders are going bust, red tape is choking projects, tradies are scarce, and margins are razor-thin.

Amid the challenges, opportunity is knocking for smart investors who have the time, the team and the means to step into property development and manufacture their growth.

To help you understand how to do it right, Bushy Martin welcomes back property development leader and founder of the Property Developer Network, Rob Flux. Rob shares his fresh insights from the frontlines — including learnings from a recent research trip to China exploring ways to slash construction costs while boosting capacity.

You’ll learn:

1. Why small-scale developers are critical to the housing solution

2. The mindset, mentors and methods that set successful developers apart

3. Practical ways to ride the next wave in property development and build financial freedom on your terms

Whether you’re a seasoned investor or ready to step up from buy-and-hold, this episode will equip you to go from good to great in property development.

Who you trust — and how you act — will define your investing future.

In this fifth and final instalment of the Invest by Design series, Bushy Martin wraps up his in-depth conversation with property strategist Brendan Kelly.

Key takeaways include:

• The DNA of a mentoring model built for investor success — without selling property

• A clear-eyed read on where the market stands now and the shifts coming next

• Why the next decade will reward active, skilled investors — and quietly punish those who rely on luck
