This week I share the mic with my favourite human - Mr. Boss Man himself, Ryan Petricevich. After a run of heavy, high-level money episodes, we drop into a real-world convo about providing, saving, and building a life from the ground up with kids, a normal job, and zero fluff.

We talk early parenthood (three kids by 24), paying off a mortgage, setting up trust funds, and the mindset that keeps you moving forward when life is… life-ing. It’s practical, honest, and full of the kind of steady wisdom most of us actually need.

• The “average Aussie” game plan: how Ryan saved, provided, and still got ahead

• $10 a week → long-term wealth: set-and-forget saving, then upgrading to simple index investing

• Live within your means (for real): resisting the pressure to “look rich”

• Kids + money: why we’ll open index funds (not savings accounts) for future kids

• Inflation 101: why cash alone loses power and what to do instead

• Sacrifice & seasons: giving up rugby to provide, and how chosen sacrifice compounds

• Partnership polarity: how we make big decisions (strategy + vulnerability > nagging)

• Risk sanity checks: diversify, invest only what you can afford to lose, sleep-at-night rule

• Start now, with what you have. $10/week beats $0/week—consistency compounds.

• Automate it. Set-and-forget is your best friend if life is busy.

• Index funds > idle cash for long-term goals (inflation is a tax on stillness).

• Don’t buy to impress. Live within your means; redirect flex money into assets.

• Couples: begin with the end in mind. Share the vision, then co-create the plan.

• If you’re losing sleep, you’re over-leveraged. Dial risk down until you aren’t.
