Get Invested: Saxon & Sinclair Fischer-Gray on the wellbeing benefits of ‘less is more’
Saxon and Sinclair Fisher-Gray are living proof of the game-changing physical, mental and emotional benefits of fasting. So what is fasting? How can you benefit from it? Well today you are about to find out. Saxon and Sinclair have turned it into a science and used themselves as living guinea pigs – and as you will hear from them, the results are astounding and life-changing. I’ve personally benefited from fasting since the beginning of the year. By limiting my eating to eight hours a day and fasting for the other 16 hours, I’ve not only dropped 10kg (which has been impossible for me to achieve previously due to my Hashimoto’s thyroid condition) but the mental fog has gone, I enjoy much better focus, clarity and creativity and some nagging body aches and pains have disappeared. All this by essentially skipping breakfast and starting eating at midday. But this is just the tip of the iceberg compared to the ground-breaking work that Saxon and Sinclair are doing in this fasting space around self-healing – and you’ll be amazed at what it has and can achieve. Fasting, which is essentially abstinence from eating for longer than normal periods of time, is not a new concept but it has definitely become a forgotten concept in our abundant day and age – in nature, a lot of animals instinctively know to heal themselves by stopping eating. In simple terms, fasting is equivalent to resting. And fasting has actually been a practice that underpinned many ancient civilisations in both the east and the west from a physical, mental and spiritual perspective. Not only does it allow our bodies the time, space and energy to cleanse and heal naturally, as we are designed to do, but it’s an easy way to start developing self-discipline – one of the core qualities of all successful people. Saxon and Sinclair are personal trainers and passionate health advocates. They’ve both worked in the health and fitness industry for well over 10 years with Sinclair being actor Orlando Bloom’s personal health coach for 7 years. During their journey they’ve become incredibly passionate about the body's ability to heal itself. They are avid fasters and have recently completed a 40 day fast, 20 days on water and 20 days on juice. They’re currently working on a feature length documentary which showcases their journey and also the stories of many who have come before them, and self-healed. Some from life-long or terminal afflictions. And they need our help to crowd fund the film’s release so they can spread their life changing message – visit here to make a contribution. Based on their own journey from debilitating pain to vibrant health, their mission is to educate, inspire and empower you and many others to reclaim your health. And if you enjoy our conversation as much as I have and would like to learn more about how to fast and unlock the healer within, I welcome you to join Saxon, Sinclair and myself at the upcoming Wake Up Adelaide conference in Adelaide on Thursday 21st and Friday 22nd of November at the Adelaide Convention Centre. There’s only a few tickets left so jump on www.wakeupadelaide.com now.

Get Invested: Michael Dunne on sales for scale and social change
In my opinion, it is your sales ability and your organisation’s sales system that separates the 5 percent who are successful from the 95 percent who are not. So today we return to this common theme of sales because I think it is so important to all of our success in everything we do – a subject that we started discussing back in Episode 62 with Petar Lackovic and continue today with pre-eminent sales system guru, Michael Dunne - the co-founder of EPIC Sales Group. Michael and the EPIC team build dream sales teams that free up business owners and entrepreneurs to scale and impact social change. For 20 years he ran sales teams in his own businesses, becoming the number one franchisee in Australia and New Zealand, before founding EPIC in 2016 - since then he’s built out over 30 sales systems and teams with incredible results. He’s personally seen how the mix of a structured sales environment and a great team can catapult a business to success and he knows the sales engine is the most mission-critical asset to a business. He believes that you need to be liberated from struggle so you can do something meaningful in the world. Enjoy this insightful chat that will change your thinking and approach when it comes to sales.

Get Invested: Paul Glossop on the key attributes of successful property investors
If you want to know what it takes to be a successful property investor, you can’t miss this interview with Paul Glossop. Paul really walks his talk. In many respects Paul is very much like my long lost much younger brother – we have both had similar interests like being fitness and architecture, and we’ve both followed similar paths to help us both enjoy a great lifestyle from our property investments. This led us both to help others to do the same through books and businesses – the only difference being that Paul focusses on helping you buy property as a buyer’s agent while we focus on finance structure and property strategy. But it hasn’t always been that way for Paul – a bit more than a decade or so ago he was broke, out of a job and in debt. Now, he’s basically retired in his mid 30s and since that time has acquired 17 properties worth almost $9 million. And like me, Paul also believes you and anyone can do the same if you apply the same mindset. He took a calculated risk when he walked away from a successful corporate career to start something that he was really passionate about: helping others change their lives through investing in property. And the good news for you is that Paul’s approach is actually quite simple and straightforward. Like me, He believes the mark of financial success isn’t about getting bigger, better, faster or more. To him, success is freedom – freedom to spend more time with his family, giving to others, and of course, more time to go surfing! And as an avid surfer, Paul knows that property investing is like catching the perfect wave break. It is what led to the title of his highly acclaimed, best selling book: A Surfer's Guide to Property Investing: How to Achieve your Financial Goals and Lead your Best Life through Investing in Property He’s now Managing Director of his own buyer’s agency Pure Property Investment, and a board member of PIPA – the Property Investment Professionals of Australia. Over the last 10 years Paul has been involved in more than 500 property transactions for clients and has seen the right and wrong way to surf the property wave. During this great chat that is jam packed with investment gold, you’ll learn: What mindset you need to be successful The three critical keys to be successful in property investment in order to achieve your lifestyle goals The advantages of building and developing property The massive benefits of rentvesting And why you should have a property focussed accountant and a professional buyer’s agent on your team, and how to pick a good one. Now, like our view of long term successful investing, if you hang in till the end of this episode to reap the rewards, Paul’s made a very generous offer for a limited number of listeners and I’m going to double down on his offer by also gifting you a copy of my second book ‘Get Invested’. Just email me the words ‘A Surfer’s Guide to Property Investing’ along with the exact number of copies Paul mentions at the end of the show to [email protected] with your name, number and contact details.

It provides entirely new insights and actions into what it really takes to maximise and leverage your intuition to achieve and sustain success in today’s increasingly demanding world. And Craigh has very generously offered a personally signed copy of Intuitive to one of you. Now this is a very high value, life-changing book, so to make it interesting, we will gift this special copy to the listener who emails me at [email protected] to confirm how many words, how many chapters and how many sections are in Intuitive (as Craigh mentions it during this episode) along with your example of where you have used your intuition to make a good decision and then we’ll choose the best.

Get Invested: Lisa Bondarenko on what it takes to thrive, not just survive
Sustainable success lies at the intersection of your self, your health and then your wealth. And if you don’t master yourself then you can forget about the other two ‘ealths’. This is where today’s guest comes in. Lisa Bondarenko is an acclaimed counsellor, author, speaker and just an awesome human! Early on, she spent many years enjoying a successful corporate career in Human Resources, Marketing & Event Management. But like all of us, there was a moment in life that forced Lisa to take a step outside of safety and to jump into something new. So as a mature age student she walked away from her successful career to immerse herself at university for four years in all things “social science and counselling”. There she was able to solidify her lifetime love of human wiring and behaviour, with knowledge and understanding that has equipped her with a stronger and deeper framework. A framework that helps her to work with individuals, groups and organisations in health and wellbeing from a holistic mental, emotional and physical perspective. Lisa now drives her successful business Eshé Counselling where she specialises in infertility, grief and loss, self-esteem and marriage and relationship counselling. In early 2014, she launched Adelaide’s first ever health retreat, Mind Heart Body - working with some of Adelaide’s leading experts in health and wellbeing. Lisa helps you to live consciously and proactively, as well as develop increased self-awareness, insight and skills to not only survive but thrive in today’s challenging world. She has also written a fantastic book called ‘Silent Tears’ – her personal account of the highs, lows and everything in between that is experienced by a growing number of families facing IVF and fertility crises. It’s a story that has you laughing and crying at the same time. It’s a real life road map for surviving, overcoming and finding hope amidst pain and despair. Lisa is a proud wife, mumma bear, blogger, author, public speaker, budding musician with an awesome singing voice, a lover of fresh flowers and a talented power shopper! Lisa always tells it how it is with humble and side-splitting humour, so if you are looking for that catalyst for your courage then you’re really going to enjoy this great conversation with Lisa ‘Bondy’ Bondarenko.

Get Invested: Psychologist Tim Dansie on the mindset of success
If your thinking and mindset is important to you, have you ever seen a psychologist? Why? Because a psychologist can help you tackle the big issues and answer the hard questions. Like: what is the psychology of performance and success and how does this help us? How can we think better to do better? How do we set our children up for success to cope with the increasingly high expectations of our times? To answer these questions we’re talking to an expert who specialises in helping you to do the internal work that will help you enjoy a happier and more fulfilling life. Tim Dansie is a registered teacher and psychologist. After failing year 11 and then not quite making it as an elite cricketer, Tim spent 12 years working in schools as a teacher and psychologist before establishing his own private practice where he now works with children, families, teachers and schools with his unique understanding and approach about what is required to improve a student’s education. He also has a special interest and skill in helping children with learning difficulties. And given his love of all things sport, he also works with elite level athletes, consulting to the Adelaide Football Club in the AFL and provides career guidance to Adelaide United in the A-League, along with a string of other elite international athletes across the full spectrum of sporting disciplines. In our wide ranging and engaging discussion, Tim answers hey questions including: What are the five secret principles to happiness? How is success really defined? What is the difference between good stress and bad stress? What is a process thinker and why is this important to you? Why is it important to be balanced and how can you achieve it? If you are really serious about long term, sustainable success and you agree that success is an elite team sport, then you need a good psychologist on your side to get your head set right.

Get Invested: How to unlock the power of your personal brand with Andrew Montesi
What is your personal brand? Why should you care about it? Why does it matter? Where do you start and how do you build your personal brand? Well, this is where today’s special guest Andrew Montesi comes in. You see, over the years I’ve learned the hard way that it doesn’t matter how good you are at what you do, if the right people don’t know about it and they don’t know, like and trust you then you are always going to do it tough. This is particularly relevant in today’s world of constant noise where everyone with an iPhone is a budding journalist, DJ, photographer, movie star and influencer and the old 15 minutes of fame has been reduced to 15 seconds as it is drowned out in constant ad nauseum noise. So a couple of years ago we delved into the personal branding space and had involvement with a lot of so called media expert propeller heads who promised the world but delivered very little – until we were lucky enough to meet today’s guest who has been instrumental in profiling and positioning me personally and our KNOW:HOW business as thought leaders in the property finance industry nationally – and the benefits have been amazing and life changing. Andrew Montesi calls himself a full stack marketer but I call him the all things marketing orchestra leader or conductor - I just hum a few bars of a marketing song I am thinking of and he turns this into a full blown symphony, assembles all of the best available musicians and instruments and makes sure they’re performing our song in front of a large interested crowd who wants to hear it. Andrew, or Monty as he is best known, answers all of your personal branding questions today, he opens your ears to the critical importance of your personal brand and motivates you on how to get started or to be doing it a lot more effectively. Andrew is managing director at Apiro Consulting and head of marketing at PickStar.

Get Invested: Bushy Martin on the dichotomies of life, with Mike Reid
There's the age old eternal, internal struggle between: The head and the heart External appearances versus internal feelings – the struggle between what you should do and what you want to do Having it all now versus waiting for more later – that conflict between instant and delayed gratification Work and life balance (if that is even a thing) Doing what you have to do instead of what you want to do But what can you do about it? How can you change or improve your life? Well to explore this a bit further, this episode is going to be something a bit different. Bushy recently had a great chat as a guest on Mike Reid’s Dichotomy podcast that covered many of these subjects and the solutions to life’s challenges that have worked so well for Bushy and his wife, Sonya. Mike’s a great interviewer and he really got Bushy to open up on failures, feelings, reflections, insights and beliefs and revealing some vulnerable things that haven't been heard before. Mike interviews leaders, entrepreneurs and ambitious people on the dichotomies they face in their business and life - and how they resolve them. Mike’s definition of a dichotomy is a division or contrast between two things that feel opposed. Mike is seeking to bring awareness to the two sides of our personality, our work and our lives. His Dichotomy podcast explores how we can better master these dichotomies so we can lead a more extraordinary and contented life. Mike’s a Director of DENT Global and currently driver of their Canadian expansion - DENT helps the founders of service businesses to stand out, scale up and build businesses that make a positive impact in the world. Get on board with Mike's Key Person of Influence program – check it out on http://www.keypersonofinfluence.com– reach out to Bushy at [email protected] if you’d like more details on how you can benefit.

Get Invested: Nan Witcomb on her powerful words of wisdom, impact and love
When the going gets tough, what do you do to stay calm and focused? For me it’s always been getting lost in music or carefully crafted words, and there have been none better than The Thoughts of Nanushka. Nan Witcomb’s words have been repeated countless times all over the world over the last 50 years, to celebrate and commemorate important life events, including 'To Mourn Too Long for Those We Love' at the funeral of Michael Hutchence of INXS. Her poem 'Beautiful Unlined Faces' was also published in Dr Charmaine Saunders' book, Teenagers and Stress, just to name a few. Her eighteen volumes of the Thoughts of Nanushka published between 1971 and 1998, have sold over 300,000 copies. Her friends say she is really about seventeen different people in one! Her heart’s poetic pulse has captured generations of lifelong followers, and you will join them after taking the time to turn her pages. There are only a very small handful of The Thoughts of Nanushka volumes left in existence so please email [email protected] if you would like to be one of the last to own her enduring words as they are destined to become prized collector’s items for generations to come. As Nan is famous for saying: Beyond the ugliness in this world, is the incredible beauty of love & friendship - that is where I live.

Get Invested: Learnings from the lifestyle of a champion athlete with Hockey legend Mark Knowles
Mark Knowles is a four-time Olympic athlete, playing at the elite international level for over 15 years in an extremely physically, mentally and emotionally demanding sport of field hockey that provides very little financial support nor material reward. Enduring success in this sport is purely about the level of dedication to and the love for the game. Mark was one of the game’s best, hardest working and highest rewarded players. Here’s a brief run down on his long list of achievements on the international stage, where he was instrumental in winning 13 international gold medals, two silver medals and two bronze medals: He played in four consecutive Olympic campaigns At just 20 years of age he was the youngest in the team to win Australia’s first ever hockey gold medal and went on to collect two more Olympic bronze medals with the Kookaburras He has four Commonwealth Games gold medals Has won two World Cups Two World League final gold medals Four World Champions trophies In 2007 he won the World’s Best Young Player award He was named the 2014 FIH World Player of the Year Captain of the Australian National Kookaburras side for four years from 2014 until his retirement in 2018 324 appearances for Australia, the third highest in Australian history In 2005 he was awarded an Order of Australia Medal (OAM) Crowned the final climax of his career with his recognition as the 2018 Commonwealth Games Opening Ceremony Flag Bearer What is interesting here is that there were periods during his ascendancy where the Kookaburras won 179 games and only lost eight. During this time however, out of four Olympic gold medal campaigns they achieved one and lost three. So were they successful? It depends how you look at success. Now coming back to Mark, to see a boy from the Queensland sticks get into the national team is a big achievement, but to stay at that demanding elite level for so long (and excuse the bad pun) is a ‘mark’ of a true champion. But what is most admirable about Knowlesy is his humble, down to earth, country boy approach, his unadorned passion and his commitment to helping others achieve their best. So how did he do it? What separates him from others? What does it take to survive, thrive and endure in such a totally taxing environment? And interestingly, what part has investing in property contributed to his journey so far? How can you learn from him and apply his success formula to help you achieve your goals and enjoy your definition of success? Now as they say, success leaves clues, and with Knowlesy’s sustained success over so many years, he leaves a lot of them and shares many in this great chat today.

Get Invested: Nick Raithel’s game-changing rules for property investing and book writing
Nick Raithel has a thing about ‘7’ – he hosts the podcast, 7 Rules For Real Estate Investing, and is also the creator of the 7-Hour Book. Both provide formulas in areas that are key to many high performers. On his real estate podcast, Nick interviews a broad spectrum of successful property investors to distill their best seven investment rules, so we thought we would flip the tables and get him to summarise the top seven rules for real estate investing from all of the guests on his podcast. While the 7-Hour Book is a proven system that allows you to get your own professionally published book, while spending only seven hours of your time to achieve it. Yes, you did read that right – just seven hours of your time. Now I can honestly say that writing and publishing my books The Freedom Formula and most recently Get Invested are the best things that I have ever done. Why? There’s a whole bunch of reasons: It helped clarify my thinking and better communicate what we do and how we do it. The books have created thought leadership, authority, credibility and respect in our industry The book allows me to get my unique message to many people at the same time and attract people who believe what we believe and educate them so they are ready for us to help them. The authority that flows from my books have created a multitude of media opportunities, speaking gigs My book has been the best business card I have ever had and it is the gift that just keeps on giving. A book is the ultimate way to share your insights and be recognised – it is an entry ticket to a much bigger game. Yet the issue is always finding the time to write it. Now my book The Freedom Formula took 18 months of blood, sweat and tears from woe to go and involved countless hours, late nights, weekends and writing ‘holiday’ sabbaticals to get it done – I was effectively out of our business for six months to make it happen. But if I had known that it could have been produced using Nick’s service with just seven hours of my time, then it would not have impacted on my role in the business and I still would have had book that I am proud of. Now I know that most of you are thinking ‘a book is not for me’, ‘I don’t know what I would write about’, ‘no-one would be interested’ and ‘I wouldn’t know where to start it is just too daunting’ – I felt the same initially but it is amazing what you know and take for granted that others would love to know – and a book is the perfect vehicle. So here is a great opportunity to hear the top seven rules property investing and learn how you can rocket your recognition by publishing your very own book in seven hours.

Get Invested: What Brad Symes learned on the bumpy road from AFL to financial advisory
They say that it doesn’t matter how many times you get knocked down, it is how many times you get back up again that counts. And nobody knows that better than former AFL footballer turned financial advisor Brad Symes. Despite breaking bones, being knocked out, concussed and suffering head injuries over 13 times throughout his football career, Brad’s star continued to rise. He went from country footy to playing in the state league, then played in the AFL for both of South Australia’s teams, Port Adelaide and the Adelaide Crows. He played in two state SANFL league premierships and an AFL grand final. His contribution to the game was recognised towards the end of his career when he shared the State league’s top honour, winning a joint Magarey Medal for player of the season. If you watch the video replays of some of Brad’ bone crunching, body bouncing incidents, and the earth shuddering severity, it just takes your breath away. But this is the measure of Brad, despite repeated injuries he never failed to go in hard, give 100% and put his body on the line – his repeated bravery, work ethic and commitment is testament to his never say die character. And not surprisingly his success has only started on the sporting field, as he has always had his eye on the longer term and the bigger picture. Brad was one of the few players to complete his university finance degree while playing footy, then he ran a business with his wife and is now enjoying success as a financial advisor with Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. So, if you are keen to hear first hand about what it takes to achieve success regardless of the trials and tribulations that life keeps throwing at you, then you’re going to love this chat with Brad Symes.

Get Invested: Alex Whitlock on the human cost of the Banking Royal Commission outcome
There’s been a lot of noise about the Banking Royal Commission findings, but for many people questions still remain: How is all this going to affect me? What if anything can I do about it? Who can give me honest objective answers on all of this? Well, over the last few weeks I have been trying to identify someone who’s an expert observer on this important subject – someone independent who is intimately knowledgeable across the full spectrum of property, finance and wealth creation policies, practices and people. Someone who doesn’t have a vested interest. And this is where today’s guest Alex Whitlock is perfectly positioned to give you all of the answers. Alex is a Director of Momentum Intelligence, a multiple award winning media, information and market intelligence business that connects over a million of Australia's professional services communities across the full range of property, real estate, finance, investment, wealth, retirement, legal, defence and Small to Medium Enterprise sectors. Momentum Intelligence is a leading provider of quantitative research to Australian business leaders. They’ve a proven track record of delivering actionable insights to leading financial intermediaries to help shape their strategic direction in complex markets. Alex’s company has received four consecutive BRW Fast 100 rankings and is recognised as one of Australia's fastest-growing and most progressive media businesses. And Alex also walks the talk in the property arena, as an avid home owner and investor who has accumulated a joint multiple property portfolio currently worth over $7 million. In fact, we start our conversation by getting him to share the intimate details of his journey and learnings in property, so stay tuned. I’ve been a big fan of Alex’s work and his hosting of a number of industry podcasts for a number of years now, including The Smart Property Investment show with his business partner Phil Tarrant. I love his passion, his well-informed insights and his forthright, down to earth ‘tell it like it is’ approach – so there is no-one better to demystify the Banking Royal Commission. And I can’t emphasise enough that we all have a very small window of opportunity to protect ourselves, by pestering and influencing politicians of all persuasions in the next few weeks before the Federal Election. And the quickest and easiest way to make a difference is to do two things: Join the recently formed Property Investment Council of Australia by jumping on www.pica.asn.au/membership and paying just $5/yr to join and build the ranks of other everyday Aussie property owners, so that we have a united apolitical voice to educate and advocate with all governments and protect the interests of all like-minded hard working Australians. Jump on two separate websites to sign the petitions and use the easy tick boxes to email your local politicians - Just go to www.keepcompetitionalive.com.au and www.brokerbehindyou.com.au/support-your-broker/ Please ask your family, friends and work colleagues to do this now. Now we cover a lot of very important ground in this very interesting and in depth conversation today, so stick with us till the end - otherwise you will miss out on some real opportunities to protect yourself and your future in what is proving to be very interesting times in the short to medium term.

Get Invested: Scott McPharlin on the importance of trust in real estate
Real estate agents generally rate very high on the instant preconceived judgement scale and very low on the perceived trust rating. This makes it hard for those who are genuinely doing the right thing by sellers and buyers, like Scott McPharlin from Magain Real Estate. As a real estate agent he shares my passion for helping people get to where they want to get to in life through property, and he does this by working very hard for his clients and most importantly, telling the truth. Scott's results are nearly three times faster with over a 93% success rate in property sales. When the industry average is 60%, you really need to compare your agent on the results they have achieved as opposed to the results they say they can achieve. Scott's knowledge, experience and results have been gathered over 12 years in the real estate industry and his down to earth communication systems are second to none. Scott tells it how it is, often to his own personal detriment. A lot of agents tell you what you want to hear to secure your business and then spend the rest of the time talking you down on expectations. It is the opposite with Scott. So, to learn some gems on buying and selling property and what you need to be doing in the current uncertain property market climate, from a trusted and proven performer, I know you are going to enjoy this easy going and straight talking chat with Scott McPharlin.

Get Invested: Dr Michelle Perugini on risking it all to build a life changing Artificial Intelligence company
Dr Michelle Perugini and her husband Dr Don Perugini are 'Life Whisperers' – their ground breaking artificial intelligence business, Life Whisperer, has already had a massive impact on improving IVF outcomes for couples wanting to have children. And their other parallel business, Presagen, is also using AI to make massive inroads into medical diagnostics. All this on top of their award winning human population behaviour predictive analytics software product that was acquired by Ernst & Young and became one of their global suite of analytic products. And they have achieved all of this global impact from little old Adelaide, South Australia - they say if you can survive in Adelaide then you will thrive everywhere else and that is exactly what they have achieved. But it wasn’t always this way. They have had to sacrifice everything and put it all on the line early on and then work relentlessly against the odds for many years before they even started to see the fruits of their labour. So to learn what the road to success is really all about, please enjoy this great conversation with Dr Michelle Perugini.

Get Invested: How investing helped Ben Fitzsimons save a basketball team and pioneer a new industry
Our guest Ben Fitzsimons’ god son suffered from a form of epilepsy which resulted in recurrent, damaging seizures and fits that could occur at any time. His family kissed him every night worrying whether he would still be alive in the morning. The family only had only two options to deal with this debilitating and life threatening condition: Brain surgery Or Use prescribed doses of cannabis oil, a product that has been scientifically proven to significantly reduce the severity and frequency of seizures, allowing children to return to a more normal existence. Unfortunately, the second option was illegal in Australia so the family had no option but for their son to undergo major brain surgery – the result – the boy is permanently paralysed down one side of his body and will never be able to enjoy a normal, active life. This is a crazy situation where a proven medication taken from the non-hallucinatory component of cannabis has been denied due to old and outdated views on cannabis as a gateway drug. This has spurred today’s guest to establish WeCann, a company devoted to the development of a safe, sustainable and world-leading medicinal cannabis industry based in Adelaide, South Australia so that future epileptics, cancer patients, the elderly and others can access natural, quality relief without resorting to aggressive surgeries or other treatments that create as many side effects as they cure. He is a man on a mission to heal thousands and change lives and his ‘why’ is big enough to demolish mountains of prejudice, change attitudes and re-educate a generation. He is also the same man whose childhood love of basketball led him to become the CEO of NBL team the Adelaide 36ers, a club that was almost dead and buried when Ben took over in the late 2000s, and is now back on the map and finding success on and off the court today. In Ben’s own words, he’s a professional dot joiner – he is able to see big picture opportunities where others cannot - and then bring them to fruition. So how is Ben able to invest so much time, energy and money into his ‘Big Why’s’ and driving passions? Because he has time on his hands. How? Because his income needs are looked after without relying on him to generate it. He doesn’t work for money, he gets money to work for him. Ben’s a successful investor. This gives him the time and freedom to pursue and support his passions as his income needs have been met and his future is secure. Ben is like others who have achieved this financial freedom: They don’t care what others think They speak their mind and say what they really think They don’t need to impress anyone They have time to contemplate what they really believe and the time and resources to do something about it They have a quiet confidence, a can-do attitude, a long-term vision plus a genuine belief and optimism for the future Ben is the living epitome of all of these qualities – you can hear it in the relaxed pace and clarity of thought expressed in his voice during this podcast. So what does he invest in, how does he do it and how can you learn from him to live life on your own terms? Sit back and enjoy a very enlightening conversation with Ben Fitzsimons.

Get Invested: How Reed Goossens went from a ‘9 to 5’ engineer to innovative US multi-family investor
Our guest Reed Goossens has mastered an investment opportunity where many others have only achieved mediocre results. Consider this: If I could show you a low risk, high return property investment opportunity that can give you an 8% net cash on cash return per year (compared to the current average of 3-5%) that also gives you strong potential to double your money in just 5-7 years with as little as $50k down, would you be interested? Well this is exactly what Reed, from RSN Property Group, has personally achieved and he is now helping other like-minded, time poor professional Aussie investors to enjoy. Reed is a project structural engineer from Queensland turned successful property investor whose business now controls the equivalent of over $100 Million in Aussie dollars in rental property. His innovative, multi-family syndication model is delivering low risk, high return and high growth results superior to anything that I have seen in Australia. In fact his investment model looks so strong that I am personally looking to invest with him. So how does he do it? Where does he do it? Who is best suited to benefit from this style of property investing? What are the pros and cons, rewards and risks? How can you find out more and/or get involved? You’ll find out all of this plus a whole heap more in this very interesting chat with Reed Goossens.

Get Invested: How innovation expert Matthew Michalewicz builds and grows disruptive, global companies
As an author, speaker and world leading entrepreneur, Matthew Michalewicz is one of the very few people who doesn’t just walk his talk, he sprints it! Over the last 30 years Matthew has repeatedly demonstrated the ability to move into any industry, start from scratch and build large global, profitable, successful, scalable and saleable businesses. His is a modern day story of David and Goliath where he has been able to enter into multiple industries as a new, small player and very quickly position himself as an industry leader. He is a living breathing example of what we call Living By Design – visualising his ideal future outcome and then developing the step by step principles, processes and people to make it happen. He has repeatedly demonstrated that he achieves anything & everything that he sets his mind to. He has formula-ized and codified success into a repeatable process that can be applied to any situation. Let me give you a very brief run down on his achievements to date: To fund his lifestyle during Uni, Matt was the founder and operator of Fitness Forever, a personal training business, and after he graduated uni, he co-founded CFG Investments, a money management and financial planning company with more than $150 million under management. He then co-founded NuTech Solutions in the USA, where he raised more than $US15 million in venture capital and grew the business to almost 200 employees spread across six international offices before selling the business. During this time Matt established an absolute “A-list” board of directors, which included former President of Poland and Nobel Peace Prize winner, Lech Walesa, former Bank of America Chairman and CEO, Hugh McColl Jr., world-renowned fraud expert and subject of Steven Spielberg's blockbuster "Catch Me if You Can," Frank Abagnale, and former National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, Zbigniew Brzezinski. NuTech Solutions was acquired by Netezza Corporation, which was subsequently acquired by IBM Global Services. After his first retirement, he then co-founded SolveIT Software, a supply chain optimisation business that he grew from zero to almost 180 employees and $20 million in revenue before again selling the business to Schneider Electric. Under his leadership, SolveIT Software became the third fastest-growing company in Australia in 2012, as ranked by Deloitte. The company won numerous awards, and counted among its customers some of the largest corporations in the world, including Rio Tinto, BHP Billiton, and Xstrata. After his second retirement, He has now established Complexica, the award winning provider of Artificial Intelligence software for optimising sales & marketing activities. The company has just won the prestigious 2018 Australian Innovation of the Year Award for their ground breaking AI product, Larry the Digital Analyst. He is also a director of several ASX-listed companies. He has also been named the Pearcey Foundation "Entrepreneur of the Year", listed in the Business Journal "40 under 40" accomplished business leaders, and has been an Ernst and Young "Entrepreneur of the Year" finalist. Amazingly, despite building leading global multi million dollar enterprises, Matthew also loves giving back and teaching others. He has been the Visiting Fellow at the University of Adelaide where he lectured on the subject of technology commercialisation for graduate students. He also drives the Pitch program for Dent Global’s Key Person of Influence or KPI Program. He is also the author of several books including, Winning Credibility, Puzzle-Based Learning, Adaptive Business Intelligence & his best known ‘Life in Half a Second’ which has been inspirational in my outlook and journey which I reference in my book, The Freedom Formula. If you haven’t read Life in Half a Second, do yourself a favour and grab a copy as it will be life changing. Here is the surprising thing - Matthew doesn’t need to work – he is financially free several times over - but he still chooses to work. So during our very engaging conversation we talk about: What motivates him and enables him to continuously reach this astonishing level of achievement How he has retired three times but still chooses to build world leading businesses How he could live anywhere in the world but has chosen Adelaide to call home The importance of family to his success And ... how can you learn from him to take your life to the next level Find out more about Matthew: http://www.michalewicz.com.au/ Get Invested is the podcast dedicated to time poor professionals who want to work less and live more.
