• How To Get Rich Doing Nothing (Using Property)
    Jan 24 2026

    Think you'll need to keep buying properties forever? You won’t. Today, Goose is showing you how just a few focused years of active property investing can be enough to set yourselves up for life — and how, after that, time and growth can do most of the work. You're in for a grounded take on property investing, restraint, and building wealth that doesn’t require constant action.

    See you on the inside.

  • Why We Invest
    Jan 10 2026

    Most people think investing is about getting rich or buying nicer things. It isn’t.

    This episode explores the real reason we invest: to create choice, time, and presence when life becomes unpredictable.

    Investing isn’t about luxury or status — it’s about removing hesitation from the moments that matter most. It’s about having the resources to put people first, to make decisions without fear or regret, and to protect the most valuable asset we have: time.

    Because life doesn’t give warnings. And the moment you need financial freedom is never the moment you can start building it.

    This is a conversation about investing as a tool for living well — not someday, but when it counts.

    See you on the inside.

The strategies that worked in 2024 (and even early 2025) are now the exact reason buyers are getting stuck, outbid, or left behind. In this state of the market episode, we’re welcoming back Sean Simpson (Dashdot's Head of Property), to round out the year & break down exactly what is happening on the ground as we head into 2026. We’re stripping away the headlines to look at the structural shifts in supply and the "hidden" traps catching smart buyers off guard. Most importantly, we’re handing you the new playbook. This isn’t about waiting for the "right time" — it’s about having the right protocol to win in the toughest conditions we’ve seen in a decade. In this episode: Why the market feels "irrational" (and why it’s actually perfectly logical)The supply lag and buyer pool data you haven't seenWhy your "common sense" negotiation tactics will cause you to lose in 2026A step-by-step protocol to regain control and buy with confidence Stop guessing.
