About this listen

Each week, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley bring their conversational style to The Property Couch, where they educate their community on the fundamentals of property, finance, and money management. They delve into the latest industry data, trends, and best practices, making complex concepts understandable and engaging.

Since its launch in February 2015, The Property Couch has become Australia’s premier property investing podcast. Bryce and Ben draw on over 25 years of personal investing experience and extensive work with thousands of clients through Empower Wealth, their multi-award-winning national property and wealth advisory firm.

With a consistent ranking in the Top 5 of the Investing Category charts and an impressive 4.8-star rating from more than 2,300 reviews on Apple Podcasts, The Property Couch is essential for anyone serious about building a passive income through property investing.

As best-selling authors of two books, Bryce and Ben don’t hold back in sharing their deep knowledge, personal experiences, and lessons learned including both their successes and their mistakes. Known for their fun banter, they make learning about these topics enjoyable and insightful.

But the podcast isn’t just about Bryce and Ben. They love learning from others too, and regularly bring in top minds from Australia and around the world to discuss topics like property, economics, lending, money management, investing mindsets, high performance, and habit and behaviour building.

Their true mission? To help you achieve financial peace and live your ‘Lifestyle By Design.’ They’re so dedicated to your success that they’ve even developed Moorr, a free money management app designed to help you set and achieve your goals, manage your finances, oversee property investments, and track wealth creation over time.

As Ben often says when wrapping up each episode, “Knowledge is empowering, but ONLY if you act on it.”

    551 | What Elephants Can Teach You About Property Growth
    Jun 19 2025

    Charlie Munger once said that reading widely is the key to wisdom, and in this episode, we’re channelling that spirit. 📚

    What do elephants, electricity grids, and economic growth have in common? 🐘⚡

    They’re all governed by scaling laws — and today, we’re diving into the groundbreaking work of Professor Geoffrey West to show you how biology, cities, and even companies follow predictable mathematical patterns as they grow.

    And here’s the twist: when cities grow, they don’t just get bigger — they get smarter, more efficient, and more valuable per person.

    You’ll learn:
    📈 What scaling laws are and why they matter to property investors
    📈 The 15% rule: why incomes, innovation, and land values rise faster in big cities
    📈 The critical difference between growth driven by hype… and growth backed by science
    📈 How to identify “superorganism” cities where value compounds over time

    PLUS: We reveal why long-term investors should align their strategy with urban scaling patterns — not short-term sentiment — if they want to build long-term wealth. Listen now!

    550 | How to Stack the Pain (and Why It Works): A Behavioural Guide to Better Money Habits (LIVE Q&A from Bali)
    Jun 12 2025

    Folks, this week we’re reporting LIVE from…BALI?! 🎉

    That’s right! We travelled to Indonesia with some amazing TPC community members to support the John Fawcett Foundation, where we witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact of their work restoring sight through cataract surgery.

    Together, we raised an incredible $74,592.98, which funded 368 cataract surgeries, 1,901 patient screenings, 719 pairs of glasses, 12 prosthetic eyes, and 600 bottles of eye drops — changing lives in the most powerful way. 💛

    And while we were there, we thought…

    What better moment to hit record and answer some of the most insightful, practical, and real-world property questions from the legends who joined us on the ground?

    Here’s what we cover in this special ep:

    🔹 “What buffers?” — Katrina & Rhys get honest about money habits and building a safety net when saving feels out of reach.

    🔹 “How do you invest with lumpy income?” — Prue, a farmer with teens in boarding school, asks about structuring loans when cashflow isn’t consistent.

    🔹 “How do you find an accountant who actually gets property strategy?” — Will wants more than generic advice.

    🔹 “What happens when your IO loans expire?” — Adam shares his $3.4M portfolio dilemma.

    🔹 Plus: Are lifestyle apartments in places like Noosa or the Gold Coast really worth it?

    A HUGE thank you to each and every one of the amazing TPC community members who joined us on this life-changing trip and helped us create this unforgettable episode.

    Listen now!

Fantastic information

These guys are brilliant! I have learnt so much from listening to TPC and I now feel better prepared to take the leap into the property market as an investor. As the wise Ben Kingsley says, knowledge is empowering but only if you act on it!

The lifestyle podcast with a property twist

FINALLY finished EVERY episode... I got onto this podcast late in the game and had 7 years to catch up on!! Proud to say i have worked my way through every single episode from the beginning - even the RBA updates I dont really understand. Bryce and Ben are so easy to listen to, and I often find myself giggling along to their banter as I pull up at work. Interestingly the show has actually made me realise my husband and I don't "need" to invest in property (very lucky couple to have double defined benefit super in retirement). For me this podcast has honestly changed my life, the guest speakers are always interesting and inspirational. They choose down to earth people I find I can relate to, not... Wankers 🤣. I've jumped onto a number of other audiobooks from their recommendations and guests. In the last 12-18 months my mindset has been transformed in relation to finance, career, education, even parenting! Slightly obsessed... My kids even think they know Bryce and Ben because most days they see their faces on the car display. THANK YOU Bryce, Ben and the rest of the team for providing this podcast, you're changing people's lives in more ways than you probably realise.
