What if the real thing holding you back from financial freedom isn’t the market, the bank, or your income, but your daily behaviour? This episode is a Rolled Gold replay with Bushy and Amanda Thompson - author of Financially Fit Women, award-winning financial planner, three-time world championship qualifying Ironwoman, and founder of Endurance Financial. And that endurance lens is exactly the point. In this early E-stage episode of the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock rollout, the focus shifts from strategy to self. Before borrowing power, deal analysis or timing the market, this is about financial fitness, and whether your current habits are actually setting you up for freedom. This is a key hinge point in the journey. You’ve clarified your WHY. You’ve started to examine your money thinking. Now it’s time to look at what you’re actually doing day to day. Because wealth isn’t built in big moments, it’s built in patterns. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why financial freedom is a behaviour pattern, not a one-off event How Amanda’s endurance mindset reframes wealth building completely Why small, repeated habits outperform bursts of good intention Why financial fitness comes before financial freedom The cost of misalignment between your values, goals and spending Why systems and discipline beat hope every time How better habits build confidence, capacity and choice over time If you’re earning well but not getting ahead, this will help you see why, and where to start. Before we move into borrowing capacity, life choices and the BEAR Facts, this is the reset point. Get this right, and everything that follows gets easier.

What if the scariest property headlines right now aren’t warning signs, but signals most people are misreading? In this episode, Bushy unpacks the growing “fear squeeze” shaping today’s property market, where rising uncertainty, tighter lending conditions and noisy headlines are creating confusion for everyday investors. While some are pulling back or freezing, the reality is more nuanced: the real pressure isn’t just interest rates, it’s a multi-layered squeeze on borrowing power that most people don’t fully understand. Rather than reacting to headlines or surface-level signals like rising listings or rents, Bushy breaks down what’s actually happening beneath the surface, and why this phase of the cycle is quietly creating selective opportunity for those who stay calm, prepared and strategic. Key takeaways: The real squeeze isn’t just interest rates - it’s a combination of lender pricing, tighter serviceability, DTI scrutiny, HEM creep and conservative valuations all hitting borrowing power at once More listings don’t automatically equal more opportunity - “fake supply” and reluctant sellers can distort what’s really available Rising rents don’t guarantee investor wins - higher costs, debt levels and risk are still squeezing many investors Headline-driven fear is causing hesitation, which is creating selective buying windows for prepared investors Infrastructure and shifting “usefulness” are quietly shaping future demand before the broader market catches on Preserving borrowing capacity, buffers and flexibility is becoming a critical long-term strategy The biggest risk right now is misreading signals and overestimating what you can actually afford This phase rewards calm, informed, selective investors - not reactive, headline-driven decisions The real divide isn’t owner vs renter or rich vs poor, it’s those who are prepared versus those who are not This episode will leave you clearer on what’s really driving the current market squeeze, more cautious about the narratives dominating the media, and better equipped to identify the quiet opportunities others are missing.

What if financial freedom isn’t built by moving faster, but by learning to slow down? In Part 2 of Bushy’s conversation with Max Phelps, we move deeper into the E for Examine stage of the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock where awareness turns into action, and habits start to shape outcomes. If Part 1 exposed the trap, this episode begins to map the way out. Bushy and Max unpack the hidden link between patience, spending and wealth, and why the real game isn’t played in big financial decisions, but in the quiet, repeated choices no one sees. They explore why modern money feels so effortless (and dangerous), how convenience erodes discipline, and why introducing friction back into your financial life can be one of the most powerful moves you make. This is where behaviour meets strategy, and where most investors either take control or keep drifting. Key takeaways: Financial freedom is built by slowing down decisions, not speeding them up Patience and friction are underrated wealth-building tools Deliberate spending beats autopilot every time Wealth is created quietly through consistent, everyday choices Property success is downstream from basic financial discipline The E stage is about identifying your money behaviours and regaining control before making bigger moves If you’re serious about building long-term property wealth, this is the step you can’t afford to skip. Because before strategy, before leverage, before your next deal … comes discipline.

Smart people don’t stay broke because they lack intelligence, they stay stuck because their money behaviour is unconscious. As Get Invested moves from W for Why into E for Examine on Bushy’s annual Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock, this Rolled Gold conversation with author Max Phelps is your cue to pause, look under the hood, and get brutally honest about what your financial habits are really doing to your future. In this foundational E-stage episode, Bushy reframes wealth-building away from strategy and market timing, and back to where it actually starts: behaviour. Before you worry about suburbs, cycles or interest rates, this is about diagnosing the patterns that are either funding or sabotaging your long-term wealth. What’s covered: Why smart, capable people still feel financially stuck despite solid incomes The hidden concept of “money leakage” and how small daily habits quietly drain wealth The gap between intention and action and why knowing better doesn’t mean doing better How unconscious spending and autopilot decisions undermine long-term goals Why your bank statement tells the truth, even when your story doesn’t The role of awareness as the first step toward financial control and discipline Why sustainable investing success starts with behaviour, not strategy Key takeaways: Most people don’t have an income problem first, they have a behaviour problem Financial success begins with honest self-examination, not external tactics You can’t out-invest poor habits, behaviour compounds just like money Awareness precedes control: you can’t change what you don’t see Before you build wealth, you need to become someone who can direct money intentionally In a world of noise, hype and shortcuts, boring fundamentals beat flashy nonsense This episode marks the opening move in E for Examine, diagnose before you strategise. It’s not about guilt or restriction. It’s about clarity. Because until you understand what your daily money behaviour is really saying, every investment decision you make is built on shaky ground. If you’ve ever wondered where your money actually goes, or why progress feels slower than it should, this is the mirror moment, and the reset point, you’ve been avoiding.

This episode lifts the lid on how the RBA actually makes decisions and what really drives interest rates, property markets and investor outcomes. With rising uncertainty around inflation, global conflict and rate movements, Bushy cuts through the noise to give you a clear, practical framework to understand what’s happening now and what is likely to happen next. This is about shifting from reacting to headlines … to reading the signals that move markets ahead of time. Key takeaways Property cycles are driven by future demand and supply scarcity, not interest rate movements The RBA operates from a data dashboard (inflation, labour, spending), not media headlines Labour market tightness (Beveridge Curve) is a critical leading indicator Property markets often move before rate cuts (the 6-month rule) Australia’s housing shortage is structural, not cyclical Demographics continue to underpin long-term housing demand Uncertainty creates opportunity for prepared investors The real divide is prepared vs unprepared What you’ll learn How to interpret RBA decisions with clarity and confidence The key signals that matter and what to ignore Why waiting for certainty leads to missed opportunities How to position yourself ahead of the next property move A simple framework to stay calm and act in uncertain markets Bottom line If you’re relying on headlines, you’re reacting too late. The investors who win are those who understand the signals early and act while others hesitate.

Escalating conflict in the Middle East has triggered another wave of “World War 3” headlines, but what does it actually mean for Australian households, investors and property markets? In this special Get Invested episode, Bushy Martin pauses the normal Property WEALTH sequence to unpack the real-world economic chain reaction from geopolitical shocks and translate it into clear, practical insights for Australian property buyers, homeowners and investors. Rather than speculating about war itself, Bushy explains how global conflict flows through the economy via oil prices, freight costs, inflation, consumer confidence and interest rates - and how these forces ultimately influence borrowing power, rents and property values. Most importantly, this episode helps listeners stay calm and strategic while the media fear cycle ramps up. In this episode Bushy breaks down: • Why the biggest impacts of global conflict on Australian property are indirect, not direct • How oil price shocks flow through shipping, inflation and household budgets • The potential knock-on effects for interest rates, borrowing capacity and buyer demand • Why the scariest headline is rarely the most likely economic outcome • The three possible scenarios - worst case, best case and the messy middle • Which parts of the property market are most exposed if pressure increases • Why outer mortgage belts and thinly buffered households may feel the squeeze first • Why tight rental markets could still push rents higher even if buying slows • How well-prepared investors may find contrarian buying windows during uncertainty • Bushy’s practical C.A.L.M. framework for navigating fear-heavy market cycles The key takeaway? Global shocks don’t affect everyone equally. The real dividing line in uncertain times isn’t renters versus owners or young versus old - it’s prepared versus unprepared. If you want to understand how geopolitical turmoil may ripple through Australia’s housing market, and how to position yourself wisely rather than react emotionally, this episode is essential listening.

Your wealth plan might be missing its most important asset - you. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin is joined by Epigenetic Health Strategist Chris Barnes to explore the often overlooked link between high performance, health and financial freedom. Most investors spend their time analysing markets, inspecting properties and chasing returns, yet rarely inspect the engine driving their decisions - their own biology. Through Bushy’s Sustainable Success “Borromean Rings” framework - the integration of Self, Health and Wealth (the 3 ELFs) — this conversation reveals why Self and Health are the sustainability multipliers that protect and extend Wealth. Chris explains how chronic stress quietly undermines judgment, resilience and long-term compounding, why genes may load the gun but lifestyle pulls the trigger, and why high performers need biological awareness as much as bigger goals. If you’re building a 20-year wealth strategy, this episode is a powerful reminder that you can’t build long-term financial freedom on a short-term nervous system. Key insights you’ll hear in this episode: • Sustainable wealth requires sustainable physiology. • Most investors inspect properties - not themselves. • Genes load the gun; lifestyle pulls the trigger. • Chronic stress impacts decision-making, risk tolerance and long-term compounding. • High performers need biological awareness, not just bigger goals. • You can’t build a 20-year wealth plan on a 2-hour nervous system. About Chris Barnes: Chris Barnes is an Epigenetic Health Strategist and Certified Epigenetic Performance Coach who works with high-performing executives, investors and entrepreneurs to bridge the gap between ambition and biology.

As pressure builds to scrap negative gearing and cut the CGT discount to “fix” housing affordability, Bushy Martin explains why these popular tax changes could actually push rents higher and make affordability worse. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy moves the conversation from headline emotion to systems thinking. Instead of blaming investors or chasing political quick fixes, he breaks down what negative gearing and the CGT discount actually do - in plain English - and walks through the likely second-order consequences of changing them. If you’re a renter feeling locked out, a first-home buyer craving relief, or an everyday investor feeling blamed and unsure what to do next, this episode brings clarity to a heated debate. Housing isn’t a morality play - it’s a supply system. And in a shortage, anything that shrinks supply tends to make affordability worse. What You’ll Learn: What negative gearing and the CGT discount actually do Why “relief-seeking policy” can trigger lock-in, pullback and rental squeezes How tax changes may hit renters first Why waiting for a crash could be a costly mistake What a grown-up, integrated affordability solution really looks like The Bottom Line: Quick fixes can create bigger problems. Before wishing for sweeping tax reform, understand the incentives and the flow-on effects - because in housing, second-order consequences matter.

What if the biggest risk to your property portfolio isn’t interest rates - but your income? In this episode, Bushy zooms out from short-term price chatter and tackles the bigger question most investors are ignoring: how AI, automation, geopolitical fragmentation, climate risk and rising volatility could reshape Australian jobs, income security and long-term property demand over the next 10–15 years. Because property isn’t a short-term price story. It’s a long-term bet on future household incomes and scarcity. Bushy challenges the backward-looking mindset that dominates property conversations and instead builds a forward-facing filter - starting 15+ years from your end goal and working backwards. He explores why Australia is drifting toward a two-track landscape of resilient income basins and increasingly fragile pockets, and why income durability - not hype, hotspots or headlines - will determine who thrives and who gets forced to sell. A core theme of this episode is simple but confronting: income is oxygen. Portfolios don’t fail in theory - they fail through forced sales. True affordability isn’t “can I scrape through today?” but “can I hold this asset through messy seasons of disruption?” Bushy unpacks Stage 1: Affordable Growth Accumulation - focusing on owner-occupier appeal, scarcity and income depth — and invites listeners to raise their hand if they want a full deep dive into Stage 2: Cash Flow Conversion.

If you’re flat-out busy, doing all the right things, but still feel like freedom keeps slipping further away - this episode is for you. This is one of those Get Invested classics that never dates, because the problem hasn’t changed: too many Aussies are working harder, earning more, and somehow ending up time-poor, stressed, and stuck. In this vault episode, Bushy challenges the traditional work/life model - the one that quietly trades your best years for busyness - and reframes wealth-building as what it actually is: a partnership and a system, not a hustle. At the heart of the conversation is a deceptively simple idea Bushy calls The Power of 2. In this episode, Bushy unpacks: Why you don’t find time to invest, you design it, on purpose How the traditional model (more work → more income → more spending) keeps families exhausted and stuck The Power of 2 advantage: two aligned people will always outperform two exhausted individuals drifting The Madison relay idea for relationships, tag-team roles so someone is always moving the freedom plan forward The worker + wealth builder dynamic: different roles, same vision, same team Why sustainable success is a 15–20 year game, and time must become your mate, not your enemy Why wealth-by-stealth beats get-rich-quick every time, boring, consistent action wins The simple action that changes everything: Bushy outlines the first practical step every couple should take - a “Power of 2 meeting.” Not a long, heavy strategy session. Just enough alignment to: Agree on the vision Clarify who’s holding the baton right now Decide the next handover No waiting for “more time.” No guilt. No burnout. Just progress. And if you want help tailoring this framework to your situation, Bushy explains how to book a Personal Solution Session (with limited weekly availability). 🎧 If you’re busy, tired, and serious about building freedom without burning out - this episode will reset how you think about time, money, and partnership.

Is the so-called “18.6-year property crash” a hidden law of markets, or just a neat story that keeps good investors stuck on the sidelines? If you’ve been sitting on your hands because “the big crash is coming”, this episode is for you. In this solo deep-dive, Bushy pulls the 18.6-year cycle out of the internet echo chamber and puts it back where it belongs: as a lens, not a leash. Because while cycles do exist, markets don’t move like a metronome - and waiting for perfect timing has quietly cost many Australians a decade of compounding. In this episode, Bushy breaks down: Why the 18.6-year crash narrative is often clickbait - tidy, seductive, and dangerously freezing The real risk of half-right ideas: enough truth to feel safe, not enough to act safely Why “I’ll wait for the crash” usually fails - bottoms feel terrifying, credit tightens, and most people freeze Why property isn’t one market, but thousands of micro-markets moving at different speeds What cycles actually reflect (hint: credit, confidence, and liquidity - not dates on a calendar) How waiting for perfect timing can be more expensive than buying imperfectly well Why cycles should inform risk awareness, not fuel timing obsession The practical framework you’ll take away: Instead of betting your future on cycle dates, Bushy shows you how to focus on what you can actually control: Buffers and borrowing power A clear buy box Local, street-level market intelligence A long-term holding plan designed to survive uncertainty Plus, Bushy revisits the fundamentals that matter most - the 3 I’s and 3 P’s that create real growth gravity: Infrastructure, Industry diversity, Income growth Overlaid with Population, Policy, and Perception (sentiment) No crystal balls. No crash countdowns. Just calm, practical strategy. 🎧 Listen now and reset your framework before the next headline freezes you again.

If you’re feeling torn between “buy anything, it’s a housing crisis” and “don’t touch property, it’s all a bubble”, this episode is for you. In this solo flight, Bushy Martin ditches crystal balls and headlines and lays out a clear, conservative property flight plan for 2026. Not predictions. Not hotspots. Just grounded thinking to help you make calm, confident decisions in a noisy, FOMO-fuelled market. Because 2026 isn’t shaping up as a perfect storm, or a clean boom. It’s more like a patchwork quilt. Some markets will sizzle. Some will simmer. Others will stagnate. And the difference won’t come down to luck - it’ll come down to planning, positioning, and behaviour. Bushy unpacks what the big data houses and forecasters are saying — SQM, Domain, the banks, PK Gupta, Hotspotting, Cotality and more — then translates it into plain-English insights you can actually use, without becoming someone else’s exit strategy in an overcooked “Instagram suburb”. You’ll hear why Australia’s long-talked-about housing shortage still looks like a blocked drain, with construction, planning and infrastructure bottlenecks meaning we’re not building enough homes in the right places. That ongoing scarcity continues to support prices, even as affordability bites. Bushy also explains why government demand schemes often make the affordable end of the market less affordable, pushing more buyers into the same narrow price bands, turning entry-level markets into musical chairs while doing little to fix supply. And while most forecasts point upward into 2026, Bushy is clear: You shouldn’t build your life on a forecast. Instead, this episode gives you a framework to stress-test opportunities as if: Interest rates don’t fall Lending tightens further Your income is less secure than you’d like If a deal still stacks up under those assumptions, it’s probably worth a closer look. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why 2026 looks more like a patchwork quilt than a national boom or bust How underbuilding, affordability pressure and policy settings are shaping the year ahead Why forecasts are best-case scenarios, not personal investment plans The difference between genuine opportunity and Pied Piper hotspots driven by late-stage FOMO The types of markets Bushy sees as long-term “keepers”, and the “Not Spots” smart investors should treat with caution How to use the 3 I’s (Infrastructure, Industry, Incomes) and 3 P’s (People, Property, Position) as X-ray goggles for any location Why behaviour, not the market, is the biggest risk for investors in 2026 How small, smart, consistent steps beat chasing the next shiny thing A simple 2026 investor playbook built around Freedom Numbers, BEAR Facts, buffers and boundaries This isn’t a prediction show. It’s a planning session. If you’re ready to move from FOMO to a clear flight plan, one your future self will thank you for, settle in and let’s get invested.

You can have big goals, clear vision, and a rock-solid property plan — and still go absolutely nowhere. In this timeless Get Invested classic, Bushy Martin explains why sustainable success isn’t driven by knowing more… but by becoming different. Because in property — and in life — most people don’t fail from a lack of knowledge. They fail in the gap between what they want and what they repeatedly do. This episode is a deep dive into the invisible system that determines whether your goals turn into real-world results — or stay parked in “someday”. Bushy frames long-term success as the intersection of three non-negotiables: Self. Health. Wealth. Not as separate pursuits, but as a single operating system for execution. In this episode, Bushy unpacks: Why motivation fades and willpower eventually breaks How your thinking (Self) quietly shapes every financial outcome Why habits, rituals, and disciplines (Health) are the missing link for most investors How Wealth becomes the by-product of alignment — not the starting point The one lever that consistently converts vision into reality If you’ve ever set a goal, felt fired up for a few days, then slipped straight back into old patterns — this episode will land hard. It’s short, practical, and deeply relevant — whether you’re just starting out or already well into your investing journey. Because goals don’t fail. Systems do. And when the system is right, goals turn into gold. Take the next step with Bushy Personal Solutions Session Get clarity and personalised guidance: Book now Property W.E.A.L.T.H Program - live now!

Your life is already answering the questions you keep asking — the problem is most people are asking the wrong ones. In this solo episode, Bushy Martin unpacks one of the most overlooked skills in property, business, and life: the art of asking better questions. Because progress doesn’t come from having more answers — it comes from asking questions that create clarity, direction, and decisive action. Bushy explains why poor questions lead to busywork, overwhelm, and false confidence… while the right questions turn Living By Design from a feel-good idea into a practical plan you can actually execute. This episode also sets the bridge into next week’s conversation on goals, follow-through, and making it happen, showing how powerful questions act like a GPS — constantly recalculating your Start-egy as life changes. In this episode, Bushy covers: Why your life moves in the direction of the questions you repeat How bad questions create activity without progress Why clarity beats certainty every time The difference between chasing answers and designing better questions How the right questions turn vision into execution Why Start-egy works like GPS — not a fixed roadmap The importance of being R.A.W: Ready, Able & Willing How better questions prepare you for goals, discipline, and follow-through If you’ve ever felt busy but not moving forward — or inspired but not executing — this episode will help you reset your thinking and sharpen your decision-making. Because better questions don’t just change what you think… They change what you do. 🎧 Listen now and recalibrate your direction.
