Ep 39Why Debt Runs the Modern Economy: The Cantillon Effect
The Cantillon Effect explains who benefits first when money gets created, but it doesn't explain when things really went off the rails. For that, you need to look at what happened next. World War I changed everything. Before then, money was tied to gold and governments were constrained. Wars are expensive, so they borrowed and printed. What started as 'temporary emergency measures' became permanent features of the system. By 1971, Nixon closed the gold window completely. From that point on, money became whatever government said it was. Inflation stopped being an accident and became a feature. Once you see the pattern - governments like spending, voters don't like taxes, printing fills the gap - a lot of things stop feeling random. Asset bubbles, cost of living pressures, the wealth gap between savers and asset owners. It's not conspiracy, just incentives. And if this is the system, you either understand it or slowly get ground up by it.

Ep 38Is Free Speech Gone In New Zealand?
The laws have changed, but has the culture? National rolled back Labour's hate speech proposals and forced universities to protect free speech. On paper, that looks like a win for democracy. But freedom on paper doesn't mean much if people are still scared to speak out. Most of us learned to keep quiet during the Ardern era, not because of what was illegal, but because of what felt dangerous to say. The real question isn't whether you trust this government with speech laws. It's whether you trust any government to decide what's true. And while politicians debate, algorithms still decide who gets heard. Bad ideas don't disappear when you ban them, they grow in the dark. The only real cure for bad speech is better speech.

Ep 37The Truth About NZ Inflation (how it's rigged against you)
The government says inflation is 4%. Gold says it's 19% per year. Someone's lying, and it's not gold. Most people think inflation just means prices go up. But there's something much bigger happening, a 300-year-old trick that decides who gets rich and who gets left behind. When central banks create new money, it doesn't land in your bank account. It goes to governments, banks, and big institutions first. They buy assets before prices rise. By the time that money reaches your wages, everything costs more. This isn't bad luck or market forces. It's designed this way. And once you understand how money really enters the system, you'll stop blaming yourself and start protecting your wealth.

Ep 36Is the Kiwi Dream of Home Ownership Dead in 2026?
In this video, I break down what's really changed these past few years in the property space. The equity gap between asset owners and savers. Why DTI rules protect the system but lock out a generation. And the good news... Supply is finally moving, red tape is being cut, and we're past the housing market bottom. Co-ownership, townhouses, regional moves... Home ownership in 2026 looks different. The ladder hasn't disappeared, it just changed shape. Stop waiting for the past to return. Adapt to the market as it is.

Ep 35Property Red Flags: What Not to Buy in New Zealand
Some properties will ruin you, not because they're bad, but because they're lemons. I've been buying property since 1997 and I've owned some disasters myself. Leaky homes, cross lease issues, body corporate nightmares, flood zones, bad orientation - these aren't just minor problems. They're deal breakers that can cost you hundreds of thousands. In this video, I walk you through the biggest red flags to spot before you buy. From deferred maintenance to unconsented work, these are the traps that catch good people who just want to get on the property ladder. Take your time. There's always another deal. Don't rush into something that'll cost you for years.
