As borrowing power tightens and more Australians find themselves financially stretched despite earning good incomes, property finance architect and broker Sharyn Burgess says the real issue for many aspiring property investors is not property itself, it is the financial structure sitting underneath it. In this rolled gold revisit, Bushy returns to the PROPERTY WEALTH Clock and the critical E Stage — EXAMINE — where the focus shifts from aspiration and awareness to financial reality. Because before people can build meaningful wealth through property, they first need to honestly examine the foundations they are building from. Sharyn explains why a home loan is only the tip of the iceberg, and why finance should never be treated as a purely mechanical transaction. The real role of strategic finance, she argues, is helping people improve their position, create flexibility and change the trajectory of their lives over time. It is a perspective shaped not only by decades in banking and finance, but also by her own personal journey through business ownership, motherhood, divorce, hearing loss and rebuilding financially and emotionally after major life disruption. What emerges is far more than a conversation about lending and borrowing capacity. Bushy and Sharyn unpack the emotional side of money, the hidden financial habits that quietly restrict future opportunity, and the reality that most wealth journeys are messy, imperfect and rarely linear. That honesty gives the episode real weight, particularly for listeners who feel behind financially or trapped by previous decisions. One of the strongest concepts in the conversation is Sharyn’s definition of financial freedom as “choice time” — the ability to create enough financial flexibility to choose how you want to live, work and spend your life, rather than simply reacting to pressure and circumstance. The timing of this episode also matters within the broader PROPERTY WEALTH Clock framework. The recent Aaron Christie-David episodes focused on awareness, behaviour and decision-making patterns. This conversation takes the next step by examining the financial reality underneath those behaviours, helping listeners identify the gaps between where they are today and the future they are trying to create. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why most people misunderstand the true role of finance The hidden financial gaps that quietly limit wealth creation Why borrowing power shapes far more than property decisions How life setbacks can become major financial turning points Why property journeys are rarely smooth or predictable The emotional impact of financial stress and rebuilding How better financial structure creates more future choices Why resilience matters just as much as financial intelligence The meaning behind “choice time” and true financial freedom Why honest financial examination is the essential starting point for wealth 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!

As Australia’s post-Budget property debate shifts from fear to decision-making, Bushy Martin tackles the question now dominating investor conversations: what should you actually buy? After weeks of headlines about negative gearing, CGT changes and the “death” of property investing, this episode cuts through the noise and reframes the conversation around what really matters — building the strongest usable net nest egg, not simply chasing the lowest tax bill. Because the Budget hasn’t killed property investing, it has simply exposed weak investing. In this final instalment of Bushy’s special post-Budget series, the conversation moves beyond policy panic and toward practical strategy. This is not another dense tax discussion. It is a real-world decision filter for investors trying to work out where to put their money in a changing market. Bushy compares the major investment pathways now fighting for investor attention — established residential property, qualifying new builds, PPOR strategies, rentvesting, SMSFs, commercial property, ETFs, shares and speculative assets — through one consistent lens: What genuinely builds sustainable freedom? Along the way, he dismantles one of the biggest traps investors fall into during periods of change: confusing tax efficiency with wealth creation. Because tax is not the meal, it’s the seasoning. Bushy explains why established residential property is becoming harder to hold but is far from dead, why new builds may receive better treatment without automatically becoming better investments, and why investors chasing the latest “tax-effective” strategy risk creating long-term wealth problems instead of solving them. He also dives into the realities many Australians are now wrestling with:Is the PPOR really the best investment?Does rentvesting still work?Are SMSFs and commercial property genuine opportunities or simply the latest spruiker pivot?Can shares and ETFs realistically compete with leveraged property investing for mainstream Australians? At the centre of the episode is Bushy’s evergreen decision-making framework: B.E.S.T. N.E.S.T. A practical investing filter designed to help Australians assess any opportunity, regardless of asset class, through the lens of holdability, sustainability, flexibility and real-life usability. Because the real goal is not building the lowest tax bill, it is building the strongest life.

What happens when the rules change after you’ve already bought the property? In this practical follow-up to last week’s blockbuster Federal Budget deep dive, Bushy shifts from policy headlines to real-world investor decisions, unpacking what the new tax landscape could mean for the properties Australians already own, and the choices many investors may now be forced to confront. From long-held portfolios and highly geared COVID-era purchases, to discretionary trusts, refinance pressure and the growing divide between strategic new builds and risky investor stock, Bushy maps out the new “fault lines” emerging beneath the market — using simple dollar examples and real-world scenarios to cut through the tax fog. This isn’t a doom-and-gloom panic episode. It’s a strategic field guide for investors trying to answer one question: What should I do next? Whether you’re considering holding, selling, restructuring, refinancing or simply reassessing your position, this episode helps you understand where you stand, what’s potentially changing, and how to avoid making emotional decisions based on headlines alone. Bushy explains: Why many existing investors are technically “protected” but still exposed How the new post-2027 CGT framework could materially change after-tax outcomes Why negative gearing grandfathering may not solve holding-cost pressure The emerging risk of becoming a “mortgage captive” Why some new builds may become strategically valuable, while others become marketing traps The major sleeper issue facing discretionary trust investors Why the right response now is not panic… but precision If last week’s episode explained the Budget changes, this episode explains what they could mean for your portfolio, your freedom and your next move.

UNPACKING THE BUDGET: The 2026 Federal Budget just changed the rules for Australian property investors, but not in the way most headlines suggest.Note: Refer to the list of timecoded episode segments below After a flood of listener feedback following last week’s emergency Budget preview episode, Australia’s leading property investment strategist Bushy Martin returns with a major post-Budget deep dive unpacking what the new property tax reforms actually mean for investors, homeowners, renters and the future of wealth creation in Australia. In this special extended episode of the Get Invested podcast, Bushy cuts through the political spin, media noise and social media panic to break down the real-world implications of the 2026–27 Federal Budget, including the Government’s landmark changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing, discretionary trusts and future property investing incentives. Importantly, Bushy explains why property investing is far from dead, but why the era of lazy, tax-led “set and forget” investing may now be over. This is not a doom-and-gloom episode. It’s a strategic roadmap for navigating what could become one of the biggest structural shifts in Australian property investing in decades. Bushy challenges the Government’s “intergenerational fairness” narrative, questions whether the reforms will meaningfully improve affordability or rents, and exposes the contradiction between Labor’s previous “supply-first” position and the sweeping tax changes now being introduced. But more importantly, he explains where the opportunities are likely to emerge next. From new-build incentives and shifting capital flows through to borrowing power, holding costs, trust structures and the emerging post-Budget investment sweet spot, this is a practical, strategic and highly actionable masterclass designed to help investors think clearly while others react emotionally. Bushy also unpacks the broader economic and behavioural implications of the reforms, including the potential unintended consequences for supply, rents, development feasibility and investor participation.

FEDERAL BUDGET 2026 PREVIEW: What if the biggest threat to Australian property investors isn’t the market, but Canberra rewriting the rules? In this special Budget-week episode of the Get Invested podcast, Bushy Martin steps outside the normal Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock rollout to unpack the growing noise around potential Federal Budget changes to Capital Gains Tax, negative gearing, trusts and grandfathering, and what it could mean for investors, homeowners, renters and retirees alike. With the 12 May Federal Budget looming, Bushy breaks down the difference between political headlines and practical reality, explains why grandfathering may become the “nuclear issue” for existing investors, and why the real danger isn’t necessarily reform itself, but investors continuing to rely on outdated, lazy, tax-driven property strategies. This isn’t a technical tax lecture. It’s a calm and practical briefing designed to help Australians think strategically before the Budget lands. In this episode, Bushy explores: Why this Federal Budget could materially reshape the future of property investing The growing conversation around CGT, negative gearing, trusts and entity structures Why the “fairness” narrative may only be part of the story How proposed changes could impact borrowing power, holding costs and long-term retirement plans Why grandfathering protections matter so much for existing investors The difference between strategic investing and “hit-and-hope” speculation Why quality, scarcity, finance and holding power are becoming even more important The likely shift toward investment-grade homes with strong owner-occupier appeal Why experienced investors focus on strategy, structure and fundamentals — not just tax deductions What aspiring and existing investors should prepare before Budget night Why next week’s post-Budget breakdown episode could be one of the most important episodes of the year Bushy also explains why property investing isn’t dead — but why the next phase of the market may heavily expose investors who relied purely on negative gearing, endless refinancing and rising markets to make poor-quality property decisions look smart. Whether you’re an experienced investor, an aspiring buyer, a business owner using trusts, or someone simply wondering what all of this means for your future wealth and retirement plans, this episode will help you approach Budget week with far more clarity, calm and strategic perspective. If you want Bushy to unpack the final Budget announcements in next week’s episode, or you’re concerned about how potential changes may affect your portfolio, structures or future plans, reach out directly through Bushy Martin.

What if the biggest driver of your financial future isn’t what you know, but the decisions you keep repeating? In this second part of Bushy’s rolled gold conversation with property investor Aaron Christie-David, we move deeper into the E stage of the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock — Examination, where awareness turns into responsibility, and responsibility demands action. This is where your decision patterns are exposed for what they really are — the bridge (or barrier) to your future capacity. If Part 1 helped you see what’s going on beneath the surface, this episode challenges you to own it, and start changing it. Bushy and Aaron unpack why wealth is rarely the result of one big move, and almost always the outcome of small, repeated decisions that either build momentum, or quietly destroy it. They explore: Why wealth is built (or broken) through the decisions you repeat daily How small, seemingly insignificant choices compound into major financial outcomes The hidden cost of indecision — and why avoiding decisions is still a decision Why confidence is a critical driver of financial progress How fear operates as an invisible constraint on your capacity The way property amplifies your behaviour — both good and bad This is a confronting but empowering listen. Because the truth is your future won’t be shaped by what you intend to do, but by what you consistently do. And if you can change your patterns, you can change your trajectory.

Why do so many smart, capable people feel like they’re doing okay financially … but never quite getting ahead? In this “Rolled Gold” episode with Aaron Christie-David, part of the E for Examine stage of the Property W.E.A.L.T.H. Clock, the focus shifts to honest self-assessment, helping you unpack what’s really going on beneath the surface of your financial life. After exploring your WHY and unpacking your spending habits and discipline in recent episodes, this is the natural next step. Because before you can build momentum, you need clarity on where you actually stand, not where you assume you are. Aaron Christie-David is a property investor and finance professional who works closely with everyday Australians on lending, structuring and long-term wealth strategy. Through that lens, he sees firsthand how behaviour, life choices and mindset, not just income or opportunity, ultimately determine financial outcomes. In this conversation, he brings that grounded, real-world perspective to explain why so many people stall without realising it. This episode tackles the deeper questions most people avoid: - Why does progress feel slower than it should?- Why do smart people drift financially over time?- What decisions (or lack of decisions) are actually shaping your future? This isn’t about strategy yet, it’s about awareness. Because clarity always precedes capacity. Key insights you’ll take away: • Financial stagnation rarely looks like failure — it often feels like stability• Comfort can quietly mask stagnation and delay progress indefinitely• Lifestyle drift is subtle, but incredibly expensive over time• Comparison distorts your perception of progress and fuels dissatisfaction• “Doing okay” can be the biggest risk to long-term freedom• “Good” is often the enemy of “free” The core idea is simple but confronting: the real enemy isn’t struggle, it’s unconscious comfort. If you’ve ever felt like you should be further ahead by now, this episode will help you understand why, and give you the clarity needed to move forward with intent.

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.

If you listened to our show in June 2023, then you know we absolutely loved season 1 of Deadloch and we were very excited to hear that a second season was in the works. Nearly three years later and its fair to say that the return of Deadloch to our small screens was well worth the wait! Not only do we get to spend more time with Eddy and Dulcie, this time the unlikely cop duo are in Darwin investigating the death of Eddie's former policing partner Bushy, but when the body of a Top End icon is discovered in a remote town, they are flung into a sweatier, stickier investigation with crocodiles and chaos following them every step of the way. To coincide with the release of season 2, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kate Box and Madeleine Sami about all things Deadloch and had a wonderful time talking about their experiences on set in the Top End, the importance of representation in the show and much more. Enjoy this Out Takes Extra with Madeleine Sami and Kate Box for Deadloch season 2 with all episodes streaming now on Prime Video. The post Out Takes Extra: Madeleine Sami and Kate Box for Deadloch season 2 appeared first on Out Takes.
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.

The Bushy Billy Bush jumps on the mic
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. Having analysed more than 500 genetic reports and spoken at international health conferences, Chris specialises in helping driven professionals optimise performance, reduce chronic stress, and build sustainable longevity through personalised genetic and lifestyle insights.

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.

Download Shippit's Commerce Delivery Report 2026 for free.At NRF in New York, Shopify and Google announced something that could quietly reshape the foundations of ecommerce: the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP).In this episode, James Johnson, Enterprise Leader at Shopify Australia, joins Bushy to unpack what UCP actually is, why agentic commerce is accelerating faster than most retailers realise, and what operators should be doing right now to prepare.Because while AI shopping sounds futuristic, the data says it's already happening: Since January last year, Shopify has seen a 9x increase in AI traffic to merchant storefronts and a 14x increase in orders originating from AI searches. This isn't theory. It's distribution.Today, we're discussing:What the Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP) actually is, and why it's more than just another tech acronymThe 9x growth in AI traffic and 14x growth in AI-originated ordersWhy agentic commerce is a new distribution channel, not the death of the storefrontHow AI agents like Gemini, ChatGPT and Copilot are reshaping product discoveryThe difference between AI traffic and AI conversionHow tools like Shopify's Knowledge Base and Sidekick prepare you nowWhat retailers should be doing in the next 12 monthsConnect with JamesExplore ShopifyDownload Shippit's Commerce Delivery Report 2026 for free.

Most people don’t fail in chaos. They drift in comfort. In this powerful keynote originally from the Wake Up Adelaide conference, Bushy delivers a timely reset for time-poor Australians who feel busy, but not necessarily building.

You’ll discover: Why comfort - not uncertainty - is the real enemy The difference between the disciplined 5% and the drifting 95% Why sustainable success is sequential, not accidental The central daily question that changes your trajectory How tiny little changes compound into time, wealth and freedom The READ framework - Repeatedly Eliminate, Automate & Delegate Because if your calendar and your spending don’t reflect your WHY … drift is in control.

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).
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.

In this Add To Cart Playbook, Bushy revisits three recent episodes that all land on the same insight from different angles: fit isn't a logistics problem, it's a confidence problem. When customers don't trust the outcome, they hesitate, bounce, or buy three sizes and hope for the best. And the most expensive part of that behaviour is the bit brands never see: the sale that never happened.In today's Playbook: Why size anxiety is one of the biggest hidden conversion killers in fashion ecommerceHow confidence at the decision point drives higher conversion and AOVWhy fit should be treated as a pre-purchase experience, not a post-purchase problemHow AS Colour uses hero franchises to reduce PLP overwhelmWhy “try before you buy” can outperform traditional checkout modelsHow removing commitment can unlock higher-value customersConnect with ZoltanExplore Magic FitMagic Fit's EpisodeAS Colour's EpisodeTry With Mirra's EpisodeSMS us to request a guest!Support the showWant to level up your ecommerce game?

Bushy Tail: The Curious Squirrel by Florence P Bullis https://www.amazon.com/Bushy-Tail-Squirrel-Florence-Bullis/dp/B0B3VTTDWW Bushy Tail The Curious Squirrel By: Florence P. Bullis The camp may be home for several squirrels, but only one called Bushy Tail, shows up regularly and he is into everything. Bushy Tail, a lively, energetic, inquisitive creature of the forest, reclaims the campground as his permanent residence. Nothing is beyond his ability to investigate and report back to Chatter, his mate. The campers all appear to have fun, especially with a character like Bushy Tail around. If there are more squirrels than these two, the others are too shy to be seen in the campsite at the same time as Bushy. A young couple with two small boys are quite challenged to live for six weeks in a conestoga-like, fold-down camper trailer. The campground is located in Florida with a shower and restroom building close to the site. A natural pool is provided for recreation, and Bushy Tail’s antics entertain at least this one camper family. Florence P. Bullis combines a little fiction with a bit of non-fiction in poetic form, from a squirrel’s point of view with humor and excitement, filling the experience with treasured memories worth sharing back home and with future campers. About the Author When her own children had grown and produced children of their own, Florence P. Bullis began gathering the journals of her memories to share with the next generation. Her hope is that in the lives of this electronically connected culture, the joy of experiencing nature is not lost. Florence is now a retired LPN and an author of 5 other books: Including Vision of Two Ships, an auto-biography and Welcome Holy Spirit, a 50 day devotional. From her kitchen window, she often checks on the lively black and brown squirrels, wild turkeys, groundhogs and an occasional deer that appear in her backyard. More episodes of Bushy Tail may be pending.
In this episode of Add To Cart, Bushy chats with Maheer Shah, founder of Dr Grillz, a.k.a a dentist who turned a cultural obsession into a global, made-to-order ecommerce business. What began as a passion project quickly became something much bigger: a brand sitting at the intersection of self-expression, trust, and technology, built without a typical target market or ecommerce playbook.Today, we're discussing:Building visibility for a product that doesn't fit a traditional ecommerce personaWhy psychographics matter more than demographics when your audience is everywhereTurning a high-trust, bespoke product into a scalable ecommerce systemThe role of culture, emotion, and status in purchase decisionsUsing technology like 3D printing and AR to remove friction, not add hypeWhy passion-led ideas aren't “too niche”; they're often the most defensibleConnect with Dr. Maheer ShahExplore Dr GrillzSMS us to request a guest!Support the showWant to level up your ecommerce game?

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.
Clarity is powerful — but only if you turn it into consistent action. In Part 2 of this Living by Design series (re-released for 2026), Bushy Martin shifts the focus from vision to execution, showing investors how to translate their “big why” into daily habits that actually shape the life they want to live. Last week, we revisited the importance of reconnecting with your core values and defining what an ideal lifestyle looks like. This episode is about what comes next — the doing. Bushy explains how living by design doesn’t require extreme discipline or radical lifestyle changes. Instead, it’s about creating simple, achievable daily habits that evolve into rich rituals — habits that support enjoyment, momentum, and long-term fulfilment, not burnout. This episode is especially relevant for property investors who want their wealth strategy to support life — not compete with it. What you’ll learn in this episode: How to turn vision into practical, everyday action Why “happy habits” matter more than big, dramatic changes How small daily rituals compound into lifestyle freedom Bushy’s simple framework for staying aligned and accountable Take Action 1.

If you want a better year as an investor — and a better life overall — it starts with reconnecting to your “why.” In this re-released but timeless episode of Get Invested, Bushy Martin steps away from market noise and strategy talk to focus on something far more powerful: intentional living. This episode is a reminder that smart property investing isn’t just about assets and returns — it’s about designing a life worth living, then using property as the vehicle to get you there. Bushy walks listeners through why regular reflection matters, especially for investors who want clarity, direction, and momentum. Drawing on insights from psychology and years of experience, he explains why hearing — and revisiting — foundational truths is essential for long-term success. To help bring clarity to your goals and values, Bushy introduces seven simple but confronting questions designed to uncover: What truly matters to you How you measure success and happiness The kind of life you actually want to live What’s on your bucket list — and why it’s still waiting This isn’t theory. It’s a practical reset you can revisit every year to realign your investing decisions with the life you’re trying to build. Take Action Bushy’s challenge is simple but powerful: Write down your perfect day. Putting it on paper helps embed it into your unconscious mind — and sharing it introduces accountability, making you far more likely to follow through. If you’re willing to take that step, email your perfect day to hello@khgroup.com.au. As a thank you, Bushy will send you a complimentary copy of his award-winning book, Get Invested.

Is it smarter to buy property or build it in today’s market? The answer depends less on the headlines and more on which lane you should be running in right now. In this re-released 'Sunday Session' conversation, Bushy Martin sits down with good mate Rob Flux from the Property Developer Network for a friendly but insightful sparring match: invest vs develop, buy vs build. Rob flies the flag for developers. Bushy holds the investor line. Together, they unpack when each strategy works, when it doesn’t, and how to work out where you fit at this stage of the property cycle. You’ll hear the real pros and cons of investing versus development, how the numbers shift as build costs and interest rates move, and a practical Strategy GPS (or Nonagon) you can use to assess your own situation — without emotion or hype. This episode is especially relevant right now, as parts of the market reach a point where building new or doing small development can stack up just as well — or better — than buying existing property on cost and cashflow. In this episode, Bushy and Rob cover: Why investing and developing are two completely different games How buy-and-hold uses time and compounding, while development manufactures equity through process and execution When build costs and interest rates tilt the equation toward development How to use the Strategy GPS / Nonagon to choose between investing, developing — or a hybrid of both Why most time-poor Aussies are better off building strong investment foundations first How community, education and experienced support (like Property Developer Network and Property Hub) dramatically reduce mistakes and accelerate progress Whether you’re an experienced investor wondering if it’s time to step into development — or just trying to decide which lane makes sense for your life right now — this episode will help you think strategically, not emotionally, about your next move.

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. Also: what do they smell like? And what do they say? Buy Bill's book: The Road to Fox HollowA donation went to the Urban Wildlife Research Project.
