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. So do yourself a big favour and enjoy Alex Whitlock.

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. Scott's book recommendation: The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman Get Invested is the podcast dedicated to time poor professionals who want to work less and live more.

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.

Based on decades of his own property investment experience, Peter has spent the last 20 years combining his talent for teaching with his passion for property to deliver hands on, actionable and real world education in property investment. He does this across TAFE, Uni SA and Adelaide University in South Australia, delivering to students across the nation.

In addition to educating property investors to be successful, he is also committed to their protection in his role as Chairman of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia or PIPA, advocating a code of ethical conduct for industry players as a way to eliminate the sharks that have given property a bad name in the past.

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.
