Most young Kiwi have bought into the belief that home ownership is impossible. Yet Sarah from Guardian Smith bought her first home at 25, after selling her car and riding a mountain bike to save the last $10K of her deposit.
Sarah breaks down what's actually working for young buyers: Kiwisaver contributions, the 5% deposit first home loan scheme most people don't know exists, and the strategy of buying a home and getting mates to pay board... Covering a huge chunk of the mortgage while building equity instead of paying someone else's mortgage.
The average first home buyer age is 37. Sarah's youngest client bought at 22. The difference? A clear goal, consistent saving, and the belief that it can actually be done.
We cover why 20% deposit is a myth, how to get pre-approval ready even if you're not there yet, and the sacrifices that separate people who buy young from those who wait decades. Plus Sarah's journey from math teacher to mortgage broker.
It's still possible. You just need to know how the game actually works.

So I did what most people do. I Googled it. Clicked one of the first links. Rookie mistake! Let me tell you about it in more detail.

The other Saturday morning I spent two hours helping a music teacher with ideas on how to scale his side hustle. I hope you've checked it out? Because he has exactly the same problem that people around NZ have. He has a skill and people are willing to pay for it. But his income is limited by one thing…his time. You sell your time, BUT eventually you hit a ceiling. In the 2 hour recording with Al we try break the back of scaling his side hustle up.

Today Im sitting down with Michael Rehm, a professor of property at the University of Auckland, to discuss everything going on in the housing market here in New Zealand. From false beliefs about the market, to how we can make housing more affordable and everything in between.
Michael Rehm is one of New Zealand's leading property researchers who's been studying the market for 25 years, to find out what's really driving house prices and whether the easy property gravy train is finally over. If you've ever wondered what drives property prices and whether property is still the path to wealth in New Zealand, this podcast is for you.

Today Im sitting down with Albert, a full-time teacher with a side hustle teaching private music lessons. His problem is he's maxed out on time and can't take on more students so this consulting session is with the goal of helping him figure out how to package his expertise, charge what he's actually worth, and build leverage so he can help more people without working more hours.
If you've got a side hustle that's hit the ceiling, this live consulting session will change how you think about scaling it.

A few weeks ago I asked a simple question and the answers were bloody thoughtful and honest. Have a think about how you would answer that. And maybe it’s based on what you wish you knew now? Here is a summary of what came through in the comments. AND one suprising one that was missed!

Today Amy from Levridge breaks down some real client examples of New Zealander's building wealth.
The pattern is clear: small tweaks in the right direction and knowing why you're doing it create massive differences over time.
Everyone's at a different starting line, running a different race. But the ones getting ahead all have one thing in common: they got good advice and took action.
We cover relationship property agreements, why your home isn't actually an investment, the importance of accountability, and how restructuring debt can save thousands in tax. Plus, why sometimes the best financial advice is to do nothing at all.

I’ve heard this more times than I should.I am sure you would have heard it before. You may even believe it. It is perhaps the most dangerous money belief you can have. So let’s explore how we could look at this from some different angles and perhaps encourage others to do the same.

Over 90% of Kiwi workers now use AI, but most companies haven't provided official tools yet. Mikey and I break down what's really happening and what's coming next.
We cover the productivity gap where employees are much faster than their bosses realise, using AI for everything from drafting reports to summarising legal briefs in seconds. We explore why GDP hasn't grown despite this AI boom, the jobs that will disappear versus those that will thrive, and whether Universal Basic Income is the answer or just creates more problems.
The arbitrage opportunity exists now, but once everyone has access to AI, no one has an advantage. The window is closing.
Luke and Mikey discuss the investment bubble around AI (everything gets "AI" added to the name and stock prices explode), why some businesses will get crushed while others use AI to become more efficient, and the importance of focusing on what you can control rather than getting distracted by shiny objects.
The world is changing fast. The question is: are you adapting or getting left behind?

Every now and then, I see the same scary stat get thrown around. “70% of small businesses fail within the first five years.” I don’t know who started this, but it’s usually said with the same typical Kiwi certainty of those non-players who could coach the AB’s to a World Cup or slot one from the sideline. But because I am slightly unwell, I started trying to figure out where that statistic even came from and if I could find it. Turns out that stat is misleading at best and often flat-out wrong.

Budget 2026!!! I went to the live from the beehive. There were hundreds of pages of forecasts, funding announcements, assumptions and political chat. I’ll be honest I didn’t read every page. The challenge was trying to work out what actually matters to everyday Kiwis like you. So a few (not all) of those things…

Mark from Feijoa built an app that rounds up your spending and puts it straight into KiwiSaver. 3,000 users are now contributing hundreds if not thousands per year extra without thinking about it.
Mark breaks down how it works, we cover why they chose KiwiSaver first, the 1.6 million who don't regularly contribute, and how roundups solve the behaviour problem traditional saving can't.
We cover the regulatory hurdles, why they use open banking, and the expansion plans into managed funds and ETFs. Plus Mark's fundraising journey, from bootstrapping to raising $750K to scale the marketing and tell more people about automatic saving.
