Bushy Martin helps you reset your stance for success - by switching your focus from what might change to what never changes. Markets are messy, media is manic, and fads are fickle. Yet amid all the noise, the investors who win are those anchored to the fundamentals that always hold true. Bushy unpacks how to build a property plan that compounds over time, regardless of market moods or media cycles. With over four decades and $4B+ in property finance experience, Bushy explains why people don’t change—and how smart investors can out-structure their emotions, leverage finance as the true market mover, and buy before the crowd turns fundamentals into “hot spots.” Whether you’re an aspiring or seasoned investor, this episode will help you stop reacting to headlines and start compounding the principles that always deliver. Key Takeaways Stop reacting to headlines; start compounding fundamentals. People don’t change—so design your plan to out-structure your emotions. Future growth hides in the 3 I’s & 3 P’s; medians and averages mask the real gems. Finance is the lever: access to credit moves markets more than markets move themselves. Plan for the worst, manage for the best - buffers buy time, and time lets compounding win. Be the contrarian: buy before the pied pipers turn fundamentals into ‘hot spots.’ If you don't know Bushy, he is one of Australia’s most trusted property finance strategists, host of the award-winning Get Invested podcast, and author of The Freedom Formula. Over 40 years and $4B+ in finance experience, Bushy helps everyday Aussies design a lifestyle by choice - using property the right way, with the right structure, and the right team. His mission: to turn confusion into clarity, and reaction into compounding. Find your Freedom Formula Success in property starts with your 'why', and then the 'what' and 'how'.

A few months ago I met a couple who had recently opened their own brewery on the Isle of Man. I was really compelled by their story, that one of them had lived on the island for most of his life, and how the other had returned from a life in London. Together they were trying to bring modern beer styles to a British dependency with a population of just 85,000 people, surrounded by the Irish Sea.That was Nick Scarffe and Elizabeth Townsend, the founders of Kerroo Brewing. Since then we've met on several occasions and their story has only grown more compelling, so the next time they arranged to hop on the ferry and visit Manchester, I managed to pin them down for an hour* and have an in depth conversation about their brewery.I was fascinated to learn that the beer culture on the Isle of Man remains relatively traditional, with a handful of independent breweries—from the 175 year old family brewer, Okells, to more up-to-date outfits like Bushy's—but many residents hadn't yet been exposed to such wonders as hazy IPA…A keen homebrewer, Nick had dialled in his recipes, and when she turned back up on the island during lockdown, the two shared beers, started dating, and eventually decided to do what they thought was the most reasonable thing: to open a brewery of their own.Operating in the village of Port Erin at the southwestern tip of the island, they run a 1000 litre brewery and a small taproom that opens monthly. We had the chance to chat about the struggles they've faced bringing modern beer styles to a market that remains relatively traditional—at least compared to mainland cities like Liverpool and Manchester—and how challenging it has been getting their beer out into the wider market. Despite this, they're still giving it a go. And take it from me, the beers are delicious, hence why I found their whole story, and this conversation, so compelling. Thanks to Nick and Elizabeth for joining me in this conversation.We're able to produce The Pellicle Podcast directly thanks to our Patreon subscribers, and our sponsors Get ‘Er Brewed.

Can a clever trust structure really give you unlimited borrowing power - or is it just another costly property myth in disguise? In this revealing episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin exposes one of the latest fads doing the rounds in property circles - the so-called SPV Trust strategy that promises “infinite borrowing capacity.” Originally featured on the Geared For Growth podcast with property data expert Mike Mortlock, this candid conversation unpacks the truth behind these “special purpose vehicles” that some spruikers are selling as a shortcut to financial freedom. Bushy and Mike pull back the curtain on the fine print - from hidden lender covenants and personal guarantees to the real-world risks that investors and brokers often overlook. Together, they reveal why “unlimited borrowing” is usually a misleading myth dressed up in a nice suit and why real freedom in property is built on strategy, patience, and good sense, not loopholes and shortcuts. Expect honest insights, a few laughs, and practical wisdom to help you build wealth that lasts longer than the latest financial trend.

Is population growth really driving property prices? Tune in for Simon Pressley’s timeless insights from 80 years of Australian property cycles. Do interest rates really move the market, or is that another investor myth? In this Get Invested rewind, host Bushy Martin reopens the Rolled-Gold Property Hub Vault to revisit one of the most popular and timeless interviews from over a thousand episodes.

How can thinking like a founder transform your property investing results? In Part 2 of Bushy Martin’s interview with Lawrence Lam, discover how the principles behind founder-led companies can unlock sustainable wealth in your property portfolio. If you’re like most property investors, you’ve been taught to crunch the numbers — rents, yields, rates and depreciation. But the real X-factor behind long-term success isn’t only in the maths; it’s in your mindset. In this episode of Get Invested, Bushy continues his conversation with investment strategist and author to unpack The Founder Effect — three key pillars that can help you lead your property journey like a business, not just own bricks and mortar. Bushy and Lawrence explore how to: Apply the three pillars of founder-led investing — Psychological Ownership, Judgment Over Bias and Systemic Scalability — to property Build systems, teams and time horizons to move from landlord to business owner Use bias checklists, alignment interviews and owner-operator filters to improve your property team Invest first in knowledge, then in people, then in assets to play the long game with confidence If you missed Part 1 of this two-part conversation, go back and hear Lawrence’s story and the foundations of his founder-led investing approach. Lawrence Lam is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Lumenary Investment Management and author of The Founder Effect. His work is helping a new generation of investors choose depth over speed, people over spreadsheets, and vision over volatility — lessons that property investors can apply right now to future-proof their portfolios.

Smart investors are discovering that success isn’t about chasing hype - it’s about cultivating insight. In this revealing first conversation with Lawrence Lam, founder and managing director of Lumenary and author of The Founder Effect, Bushy Martin explores why long-term investment success depends more on people, purpose, and principle than on spreadsheets and short-term returns. Lawrence shares his journey from APRA and high finance to launching a values-driven investment firm that backs founder-led businesses with enduring potential. Along the way, he explains why character, intent, and systems matter more than numbers, how to recognise and reduce the “invisible tax” of bias, and what it means to taste-test investments the way a winemaker judges vintages. You’ll discover: Why return on insight outperforms return on hype How judgment is shaped and clouded by unseen bias Why leading your wealth journey like a founder helps you avoid following the herd How Lawrence’s upbringing and career shaped his philosophy on alignment and long-term conviction This is part one of a two-part series with Lawrence. Next week, we’ll dive into his book The Founder Effect and the frameworks you can use to invest with clarity and conviction. So if you’re ready to tune out the noise and start investing with vision, character, and courage — let’s get invested.

Is commercial property the hidden engine room for smart investors? In this week’s episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin continues his deep dive with commercial property specialist Simon Borham to uncover the secrets, strategies and risks that every aspiring investor needs to understand. Following on from Part 1, where Simon shared why specialisation wins in property and in life, this conversation zeroes in on the opaque world of commercial property — where opportunities are real but far from obvious. Together, Bushy and Simon unpack: Why commercial property is intentionally opaque, and how investors can use this to their advantage The critical role of project management skills in property success The art and process of negotiation that separates good deals from great ones How rent drives value — and the hidden equity that can be unlocked through smart management The rules of selection for beginners, including what to look for (and avoid) when stepping into commercial Simon also explains why timing, due diligence, and price discipline are non-negotiables for investors who want to avoid costly mistakes and build sustainable wealth. If you’ve been wondering whether commercial property is right for you — and how to secure a high-performing asset in this misunderstood space — this episode is packed with the insights you need.

Tune in for another fun and hilarious episode!  We have another MELTDOWN, but not where you think it would come from!

Avoid the investor's curse of courtroom drama: How couples can legally separate without the cost, stress or conflict. In Part 2 of this important conversation, Bushy Martin continues his chat with Ian MacLeod to unpack how couples can take control of their property settlement and superannuation split—without stepping foot in a courtroom. Ian reveals the three legal pathways available for separation property splits, highlighting how Binding Financial Agreements (BFAs) can help couples sidestep expensive legal battles and court-imposed decisions. Learn how BFAs can also unlock stamp duty exemptions and capital gains rollover relief, and why full financial disclosure isn’t optional—it’s the law. Whether you’re planning ahead, navigating a current separation, or advising someone else, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward wisely and legally. What you’ll learn: The 3 legal pathways to manage separation property splits Why Binding Financial Agreements put control back in your hands How to avoid stamp duty and CGT with the right structure The legal requirement for superannuation splitting How much it actually costs to create a BFA (hint: it’s not $20K) Why full financial disclosure is essential—and how hiding assets could land you in serious legal trouble About Ian Macleod: Ian is the founder of RP Emery, a legal publishing company that bridges the gap between couples and complex legal systems. With 15+ years of experience, Ian empowers couples to craft mutually beneficial financial agreements that avoid the cost and conflict of court. His mission: protect relationships, finances, and freedom through plain-English, legally sound solutions.

This week, Bushy and Metal Mike sit down to discuss the almighty Black Sabbath.  With the coming final show, we thought it was time to dive the band.  And what better way to do that, then to have David "Scapegoat" Tyler sit in? In this first episode, we go through the first four Sabbath albums, track by track, and discuss the obvious invention of the "Heavy Metal Sound".

This week, Bushy and Metal Mike return to the Uncovered Gems episodes.  In these, we review an album that one of the two hosts has NEVER heard.. What album this time?  Guns N Roses' 2008 release "Chinese Democracy".  Bushy has known this album for years, but Metal Mike has never heard it.   Was it a hit?  Was it a miss?  Is it the best GN'R album ever, or the worst?  Tune in to see what we think!

(2022) Before we dive that topic, Bushy discusses an experience he had at the annual Plum Hollow Alternative Bluegrass Festival.   We also bring exciting news about our new partnership/sponsorship with Dubby!

In this episode of Excess Returns, Matt Zeigler sits down with Rupert Mitchell—founder of Blind Squirrel Macro—for an insightful, opinionated, and often humorous discussion on global market dynamics, the Mag 7, structural portfolio shifts, and what it takes to be a successful generalist investor. From the “Chart of Truth” to the hidden value in tire stocks, Rupert brings decades of experience and a distinctive lens to markets, risk, and opportunity.

This week, Bushy and Metal Mike continue down the Megadeth trail, giving their pathetically subjective opinions on the next four albums in their discography. We discuss: The World Needs a Hero (2001) The System Has Failed (2004) United Abominations (2007) Endgame (2009) Does our opinion of Megadeth get better with this episode?  Hard to say, after the debacle that was Risk.  Tune in to find out!

Bushy tails! Stinky butts! Faces so cute you weep! Let's talk foxes – specifically the little grey ones you never knew you loved. Fox behavioral expert, researcher, conservationist, author of “The Road to Fox Hollow” and Urocynologist Bill Leikam chats about fuzzy foxes, baby names, parental strategies, where they live, what they eat, advice for potential pet owners, how to observe foxes, how tiny foxes wound up on islands, which foxes need conservation, Silicon Valley foxes, and why a fox on the couch is worth 1000 in the bush.
