Artificial intelligence promises to transform productivity, business and government – but what happens when the technology starts making decisions its human operators never intended? In this episode of the Contested Ground podcast, Phil Tarrant is joined by Major General (Ret'd) Dr Marcus Thompson to examine the rapidly emerging security risks surrounding AI, from autonomous agents exploiting vulnerabilities to the growing challenge of keeping increasingly powerful systems inside appropriate guardrails. With businesses racing to deploy AI and governments grappling with how – or whether – to regulate it, Tarrant and Thompson explore whether Australia is moving fast enough to understand the threat, protect critical systems and ensure the technology designed to make us more productive doesn't become a new contested ground itself.

Do-it-yourself (DIY) platforms are giving landlords another way to manage rentals, forcing property managers to prove their value beyond compliance and collecting rent. But is it really the best solution? On The Property Management Excellence (PMX) Podcast, Alex Whitlock and Phil Tarrant examine the growing push towards self-managed rentals and what it could mean for property managers. The pair discuss claims that landlords are increasingly turning away from professional management, questioning whether DIY platforms are really changing the market or simply giving some landlords another option. Compliance sits at the centre of the debate, with Whitlock and Tarrant highlighting the risks landlords face when managing increasingly complex rental obligations themselves and why compliance alone is no longer enough for agencies to demonstrate their value. The conversation also explores what disruption could mean for the property management sector, with agencies needing to understand what landlords actually want, from lower costs to better advice, stronger communication, and strategies that improve rental returns.

Rate rises, housing shortages, and shifting investor strategies are putting Australia's property market under pressure and raising bigger questions about homeownership. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Momentum Media director Alex Whitlock to examine the forces reshaping Australia's property market, from interest rates and housing supply to changing investor strategies. The pair discuss expectations for further rate rises and why borrowers should be reviewing their mortgage costs, with Whitlock sharing how a conversation with his lender secured a significant rate reduction. The housing shortage also comes under the microscope, with the collapse of Western Sydney builder Bathla Group highlighting the pressures facing construction and development, while community resistance to higher density continues to complicate efforts to increase supply. Looking further ahead, Tarrant and Whitlock examine the 2026 Intergenerational Report and its implications for homeownership, wealth transfers and Australians who may rent for life, before turning to the growing appeal of high-yield inner-city Melbourne apartments for investors.

Vacant big-box retail has become one of the fitness industry's biggest real estate opportunities and VASA Fitness is leaning into that for its growth strategy. Chris Tarrant, the chief growth officer for VASA, joined Club Solutions Magazine editor and podcast host Taylor Gabhart to discuss VASA's adaptive reuse strategy, including how a Kmart redevelopment in Colorado Springs sparked surrounding investment, why fitness clubs outperform traditional retail tenants on dwell time and visit frequency and what developers should prioritize when negotiating new anchor-tenant details. With VASA on pace to open roughly 35 clubs over the next two years, the conversation gives operators a real-world look at positioning fitness as an indispensable co-tenant in today's retail landscape. Tarrant's approach offers a clear framework for converting empty square footage into long-term member and landlord value.

On Easter Sunday morning, April 19, 1914, the National Guard and the Baldwin-Felts Detective Agency set up a machine gun overlooking a Colorado miners' tent colony, murdered union leader Louis Tikas and two lieutenants who came out to negotiate a truce and burned the camp. Eleven children and two women died in one tent alone. They wanted an eight-hour workday and a safe workplace. The word redneck comes from striking West Virginia miners in 1921 who tied red bandanas around their necks to identify themselves against strikebreakers. It is a labor word. On today's episode of America's Work Force Union Podcast, Brotherhood of Railroad Signalmen National VP Tim Tarrant joins the Labor 132 series to trace those moments in labor history and connect them to the fights happening right now: fall protection still missing at Metra Chicago, clean air fought for in Port Authority of New Jersey tunnels and the May 2026 Long Island Rail Road strike that shut down New York commuter service east of Manhattan for three days. His message on AI and technology: it is a worker's tool and must be used responsibly with workers, not as a replacement for them. Visit brs.org for more.

We spoke with the three best candidates for the Tarrant Appraisal District Board, Phyllis Durbin Grissom for Place 1, Ambika Sharma for Place 2, and John Adams for Place 3.We learned about how damaging the freeze on property valuations has been for taxing entities and taxpayers, the inequities that taxpayers face, how we got into this mess, and what these candidates can do about it.All three will appear on the ballot county-wide in November at the bottom of the ballot, so be sure to vote all the way up & down your ballot.Join the 817 Gather Discord, donate to the 817 Gather, and follow us on Instagram & TikTok.

After a raucous protest delayed their plans weeks back, the GOP-dominated Tarrant County Commissioner's Court is set to vote again this morning at 10 on a plan that still significantly reduces polling locations in minority areas. An impasse between Governor Abbott and RFK Jr. begins costing Texas $27 million per day in federal funding as of today, while our backlogs on SNAP and Medicaid applications have grown by exponential factors. And some clarity on the voter suspense list: being on it doesn't disqualify you from voting, but is cause for concern and immediate action.Fort Worth Star Telegram: https://www.star-telegram.com/news/politics-government/article317066909.htmlCommon Dreams: https://www.commondreams.org/news/texas-closing-polling-placesKERA on Tarrant vote: https://fortworthreport.org/2026/08/31/talarico-simmons-speak-against-proposal-to-cut-almost-a-third-of-tarrant-county-voting-sites/Texas Tribune: https://fortworthreport.org/2026/08/31/talarico-simmons-speak-against-proposal-to-cut-almost-a-third-of-tarrant-county-voting-sites/KERA on Medicaid backlog: https://www.keranews.org/health-wellness/2026-09-01/texas-medicaid-snap-food-stamps-applications-backlog-grows-hhsc-data-texans-care-for-childrenVoteBeat: https://www.votebeat.org/texas/2026/08/31/voter-suspense-list-registration-canceled-confirm-address/The election approaches!

The SMSF lending crackdown has changed the game. But with rates on hold and commercial lending gaining attention, investors have new finance strategies to consider. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos from FinnI Mortgages to discuss how the Reserve Bank of Australia's (RBA) decision to hold the cash rate and the end of self-managed super fund (SMSF) lending are reshaping investors' financial strategies. The trio examine the RBA's decision to hold the cash rate and the government's underestimated SMSF lending figures, exploring what both mean for mortgage holders, investors, developers and the broader property market. With residential SMSF borrowing now off the table, the trio explore the growing shift towards commercial property and lease-doc lending, where a property's rental income can help underpin the lending assessment. Tarrant, Loisance, and Arvanitopoulos also examine how these lending options could help investors with limited borrowing capacity but available equity, while weighing the risks before making a move.

The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: A new poll on Texas statewide races is the first in a while to reflect on-the-ground political reality, or come close to such, for Texas. Talarico is up by two over Paxton and other statewide Republicans are up about five points over Democrat challengers. The best write up is at The Texan. The Texas Tribune seemed only interested in “black voters” and Talarico.Here is the actual poll results: New Poll: Senate Race A Toss-Up, With Narrow GOP Leads in Other RacesOther campaign stories I covered: Texas Republicans campaign with urgency despite decades of dominance In Texas, a Political Group, Somos Votantes, Bets $6 Million on Latino Voters Coming Back to Democrats Texas GOP cuts ticket prices to Trump's unconventional convention Gina Hinojosa makes big ad buy in effort to unseat Gov.

The Republican-dominated Tarrant County Commissioner's Court will vote today on a proposal to eliminate almost half of the county's Election Day polling locations, with a focus on Black, Brown and student-concentrated areas. Governor Greg Abbott has called a halt to data center developments for an audit, but has taken no steps to change the loose regulations he has himself signed off on. Bipartisan resistance to data centers is mirrored in similar opposition to Flock surveillance cameras, and the new THC ban in Texas. And Joe Rogan says the quiet part out loud, characterizing the Texas GOP as "predators".KERA Dallas: https://www.keranews.org/news/2026-08-03/tarrant-county-voting-potential-closuresLone Star Left: https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/ohares-not-done-yet?open=falseDallas Morning News: https://www.dallasnews.com/business/energy/article/abbott-data-center-audit-texas-22372503.phpTexas Tribune: https://www.texastribune.org/2026/08/03/texas-flock-cameras-law-enforcement-license-plate-readers/Houston Public Media: https://www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/news/politics/election-2026/2026/08/03/558506/thc-ban-texas-senate-race-talarico-paxton/Texas Public Radio: https://www.tpr.org/government-politics/2026-08-03/texas-delta-8-ban-creates-legal-risks-and-confusion-for-hemp-usersSan Antonio Current: https://www.sacurrent.com/news/texas-news/joe-rogan-begs-texas-not-to-turn-blue/This election year, you can support the real free press by investing in pro-democracy, pro-justice, pro-gressive storytelling.

Luke Tarrant left a great job in finance and walked away from the corporate world, knowing he didn't want to spend his life stuck in an office. He sold everything he owned and spent years riding his motorcycle across the world, chasing the kind of adventure few people ever experience.On a ride through Colombia, everything came to a screeching halt when he was involved in a motorcycle accident that left him fighting for his life. After weeks in a Colombian hospital, Luke ultimately had his leg amputated.Since then, he's grown a massive global social media following by sharing his journey, inspiring millions with his adventures, resilience, and outlook on life.In Chapter 413, Jase and Luke dive into the motorcycle crash that changed everything, the incredible strangers who came together to help save his life, crossing the Darien Gap by boat, ending up at a cartel party in Mexico, learning to walk and ride again with a prosthetic leg, and why he refuses to move on until he returns to Colombia to finish the ride.CHAPTERS:00:00:00 Intro00:03:45 A week together at the Isle of Man TT00:12:41 Cardo Ad00:16:30 The start line, the goodbyes and the cemetery00:20:15 Racing a car at the TT with half a leg00:22:30 Two crashes in one day on the mountain road00:27:27 Back to the start00:29:19 The London School of Economics and the Wolf of Wall Street00:32:02 Walking into his boss's office and quitting00:33:45 Landing in the US with no plan and a Suzuki DR65000:36:00 Buying a house versus buying freedom00:40:30 Ten days in the dirt and how little you need00:44:15 The present self and the remembering self00:48:00 The post that blew up by accident00:52:08 AG1 Ad00:53:06 How he got into motorcycles00:55:30 His dad gets a bike licence and a tattoo01:01:25 The Vietnam tour company that changed both their dads' lives01:04:30 The Ho Chi Minh trail and the bomb craters01:07:48 Venezuela, the caravans and the Darien Gap01:12:49 Selling the American dream01:17:15 Why he would choose Mexico over the US01:20:15 Why it has to be a motorcycle01:25:49 The crash01:29:28 No memory and no vision attached to it01:31:30 Waking up in a different part of Colombia01:33:33 The leg comes off or you die01:34:29 The Instagram story that got him out01:36:00 Sepsis01:41:15 A month of deciding how much more to cut off01:45:05 The air ambulance and the prince's plane01:48:45 Going back to find out what actually happened01:57:48 Motosport Ad01:58:30 Coming home in a wheelchair02:02:59 The night he realised he had become disabled02:07:30 The beach in Mexico02:10:41 The prosthetic, and what is actually left02:14:56 Kurdistan and back in a wheelchair02:18:45 Disabled, and who actually is02:22:30 Jase on the bike he could never have as a kid02:29:15 Half a million followers and the dopamine02:36:45 Losing the warehouse in the fire02:42:04 FIST Ad02:45:00 Why he turns down most brands02:50:56 Mexico, and why he keeps going back02:53:15 The night he followed a stranger to a cartel party03:03:00 Corrupt police and the fake driving licences03:10:25 Devil's breath and getting roofiedSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The property industry is facing a trust test, with questionable advice, buyer's agent practices, and rushed investment decisions putting buyers on alert. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman unpack the biggest issues facing property investors right now, from misleading investment advice and buyer's agent concerns to the rush before major self-managed super fund (SMSF) changes take effect. The pair discuss the growing scrutiny around buyer's agents, questioning whether some business models have prioritised sales over investor outcomes. They also examine the latest developments from the Dashdot collapse, including concerns around upfront fees, investment advice, and the impact on customers left out of pocket. The duo explores why some investors are being drawn towards questionable opportunities, from expensive apartment purchases to promises of easy returns, and why due diligence remains critical in a shifting market. Tarrant and Garman then turn to the SMSF borrowing changes, the rush to secure deals before the deadline, and whether policy decisions are accurately reflecting the realities of the property market. The episode also looks at housing affordability, falling prices, and what a more cautious market means for investors trying to make their next move.

Most people think breathing is automatic.You inhale, you exhale, and that's it.But what if the way you breathe is quietly affecting your confidence, your voice, your posture, your sleep, your anxiety levels – and the way you show up when speaking in front of other people?In this episode, I sit down with breathing educator Jane Tarrant to explore a topic most business leaders never think about until something goes wrong: breathing habits.Jane explains why many high performers breathe from the wrong place, why “belly breathing” is often misunderstood, and how poor breathing habits can push people into stress, panic and disconnection from their audience.We also discuss the hidden connection between breathing and storytelling, and why the 30 seconds before a presentation matter far less than the habits you repeat every day.There's also a story involving split trousers in front of 200 people.What You'll Learn:• Why most speakers breathe from the wrong place• The difference between belly breathing and diaphragmatic breathing• Why upper-chest breathing increases anxiety• The role of posture in confident speaking• How tongue position changes your breathing• What the “D-spot” is and why it mattersIn This Episode:00:00 – When Jane's Trousers Split in Public03:16 – Belly Breathing vs Diaphragm Breathing05:05 – Why Chest Breathing Weakens Your Presence08:39 – The D-Spot Explained12:21 – The Link Between Breathing and Your Voice21:21 – The Signs You're Over-Breathing26:37 – Why Tongue Position Matters More Than You Think35:02 – The Surprising Link Between Storytelling and Breathing42:30 – Why Breathwork Doesn't Work for Everyone54:45 – The One Thing Jane Wants Everyone to RememberIf you want to feel calmer, more grounded and more connected when you speak, this conversation will change the way you think about breathing.We hope you enjoy it.———————Connect with Jane:Instagram: @linkbreathingWebsite: http://linkbreathing.co.uk/Recommended books:Breath by James NestorRose Loses Her Nose by Jane Tarrant#IdeasOnStagePodcast #Breathwork #BreathingHabits #PublicSpeaking #LeadershipCommunication

Fear of missing out is back in Australia's property market. As thousands of investors rush to beat the SMSF deadline, the biggest risk isn't missing out – it's buying the wrong property in the process. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Alex Whitlock to discuss the growing frenzy surrounding self-managed super funds (SMSF) and why investor urgency is creating new risks. The pair question whether the race to secure finance before the borrowing ban is pushing investors into poor-quality assets, warning against letting marketing hype or tight deadlines dictate long-term investment decisions. Attention then turns to the mortgage market, with borrowing capacities shrinking and investor activity slowing, raising fresh questions about what the next phase of lending could look like for brokers and borrowers alike. Finally, Tarrant and Whitlock explain why investors should look beyond buyer's agents alone, arguing that local property managers can often provide some of the strongest insights into rental demand, cash flow, and the long-term fundamentals of a market.

Thousands of investors are racing to beat the SMSF borrowing ban – but rushing into the wrong property could prove far more expensive than missing the deadline. On The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant is joined by Eva Loisance and Costa Arvanitopoulos from Finni Mortgages to discuss the frantic rush into self-managed super fund (SMSF) property purchases, and why investors need to separate urgency from smart decision-making. The trio reveal how the looming borrowing ban has triggered a surge in demand, creating fierce competition, inflated asking prices, and growing pressure on brokers, lenders, and buyer's agents to settle deals before time runs out. The discussion also exposes the risks emerging in the market, from overpriced properties and questionable buyer's agent recommendations to valuations falling short and deals collapsing as investors scramble to secure finance. Tarrant, Loisance, and Arvanitopoulos explain how recent lending changes and the loss of negative gearing benefits are reshaping borrowing power, forcing investors to rethink their finance strategy, property selection, and long-term investment plans.

Tax changes may have stolen the headlines, but Australia's property market is increasingly being shaped by immigration, housing supply, and political decisions that investors can't afford to ignore. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant is joined by Steve Kuper to connect the dots between politics, geopolitics, and property, revealing how government decisions, immigration policy, and global uncertainty are beginning to reshape Australia's housing market. The duo examines the rush of investors scrambling to buy residential property through self-managed super funds before the borrowing ban takes effect, questioning whether urgency is driving sound investment decisions or expensive mistakes. Attention then turns to Canberra, where the fallout from recent tax reforms continues to divide investors, raising fresh questions about housing affordability, fairness, and whether government policy is solving the problem or creating new ones. The discussion also explores Australia's immigration settings, revealing why a growing mismatch between skilled migration and construction labour is adding further pressure to an already constrained housing market. Finally, Tarrant and Kuper look beyond Australia's borders, discussing why geopolitical tensions are no longer just a foreign affairs issue and how global instability could increasingly influence property markets, investor confidence, and the nation's economic outlook.

Everyone says Australia's property market is cooling. The problem? The headlines are telling only half the story, and investors buying into the panic could be looking in all the wrong places. On Property Buzz, Phil Tarrant and Liam Garman rip into the biggest myths driving Australia's property market, arguing that the country's housing story is becoming more divided than ever, with winners and losers emerging simultaneously. The duo reveals why Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth continue to push ahead while Sydney and Melbourne slow, exposing how relying on national headlines could lead investors to make costly decisions. Attention then turns to the federal government's latest property reforms, with Tarrant warning they could backfire spectacularly by squeezing housing supply, making development harder and creating the very affordability problems they were meant to solve. The episode finishes with one of the industry's biggest controversies, as Tarrant and Garman question whether some high-volume buyer agencies are manufacturing competition, inflating demand and putting business growth ahead of their clients.

In this episode, Ryan Tarrant, CEO of Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, shares insights into their innovative 20-year community development plan, Drive Jackson, and how strategic programs are transforming Jackson's economic and social landscape.
