What does it look like when someone backs themselves, takes calculated risks and refuses to sit on the sidelines?

That’s the story of Ben, a chiropractor, business owner, husband, dad and long-time TPC listener who built his financial future with purpose, action and his motto: “No risk, no magic.”

From growing up in a middle-class Egyptian-Australian family with first-class values, to chasing status in a BMW, to burning out and rediscovering his purpose… Ben’s journey proves that wealth isn’t about luck; it’s about habits, behaviour and backing yourself.

This is the heart of Summer Series: real people, real decisions, real results, and a reminder that anyone can do this with the right mindset and a clear plan. 😊

What happens when life’s expectations collide with financial reality?

In this heartfelt Summer Series episode, Katrina “Kat” S, long-time listener, mum of two, and Bali trip volunteer from Bryce’s 50th, opens up about her real money story:

Growing up in a small country town, learning to save, splurging at uni, facing postnatal depression, and rebuilding her confidence through property.

Kat gets raw about pressure, parenting, and perfection… and how she found peace in progress, not performance.

From a risky first investment to the “aha” of building a proper plan, her journey proves that you don’t need to be perfect to move forward; just brave enough to start.

When life knocks you down, how do you rebuild from nothing? 💭

Meet Matt: a proud Aussie veteran whose life took a sharp turn when he lost his hearing in the Army and was suddenly left without income, identity, or direction.

With a newborn to care for and his savings running out, he and his wife, Ashley, hit rock bottom… before choosing to climb their way back up.

From living off charity food boxes to buying two investment properties, Matt’s story is one of courage, persistence, and education in action. 👏
