Paul Migus exemplifies the authentic, servant leader. He is humble and he always underplays his talent and achievements - a rare trait that I admire most in true leaders. So here’s a snapshot of his incredible leadership career. Paul’s a proud Canadian who started his career with the federal government as a clerk in the early 1970s, and enjoyed a meteoric international rise from archivist and researcher, through multiple Director General roles and up to the level of Assistant Deputy Minister for a number of departments in the Australian and Canadian Governments. Since retiring from the Government, Paul and his wife Eva have been leading and managing their own consulting business, LGT Executive Performance Inc., a management consultancy specialising in executive performance in the public sectors across international, federal, provincial and municipal government and not for profit sectors. His many and diverse areas of expertise includes strategic leadership advice, service transformation, strategic portfolio m

In the world of property investment, Simon Pressley is like a doctor – he’s one of those rare independent impartial experts. Simon’s a property market analyst, a buyer’s agent and an accredited property advisor. He’s the MD of Propertyology and a three-time Australian Buyer’s Agent of the Year. Like me, Simon’s passionate about helping you build a more sustainable lifestyle by making astute property investment decisions. He’s a strong lateral thinker and like many investment greats, spends hours a day studying property economics across Australia. Simon is an expert in your corner and a contrarian. He doesn’t go with what is common or popular, or what supports preconceived ideas, biases or self interest agendas, he goes on what his deep research analysis is telling him is good for property investors. He focusses on future indicators of growth, not past history – in lead indicators not lag indicators – in other words, he’s learnt to focus on what really matters, and interestingly a lot of this is contrary to po

To help you make the shift from conformity to creativity and innovation by learning to ask better questions, and the right questions, today’s guest Doug Adamson is the perfect antidote. Doug has spent his entire life asking the right questions as a key ingredient for his initial and ongoing success.  As an inquisitive boy from good old Adelaide, after completing his training as an electronic engineer in the early 1980s, Doug’s first proper business in the UK involved producing radio shows and interviewing rock stars such as the Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Talking Heads, Sting, Pink Floyd, Mark Knofler and many more – what a great way to develop your questioning skills by sitting face to face with the world’s greatest rock legends – and we have some fun digging into his experience with many of my music heroes.  And his constant questioning and pursuit of improvement and innovation also led him to become a world record holder in an obscure branch of cycling. Since then, Doug has gone on to entrepreneuriall

In uncertain times it is important to remain calm, separate facts from fear and fiction, make clear committed choices and take action – not wait for something to happen. And today’s guest is a great example of exactly this thinking and approach during times of threat. Rob Newman has stared death squarely in the eye in life threatening situations and near death experiences on a number of occasions and lived to tell the tale and go on to survive and thrive.  Today you will find out exactly what happened, how he did it and the lessons he learned that you can apply to help you tackle challenging times and make good committed choices - not knee jerk decisions.  Like me, Rob is a boy from the bush who has made it in the big smoke.

Maybe you have been thinking about investing in property for years but there has always been something or some reason why you have never quite stepped through the sliding door and onto property train.

In over 100 episodes, the Get Invested podcast has featured some incredible guests with insights that, without overstating it, will change your life.  But as this show grows, some of the early gold can get missed - especially for newer subscribers. So this week we're rebroadcasting one of our most powerful episodes, an interview with Tim Dwyer. Tim is the global director of Shirlaws Group and the founder of Growth Metrics Australia. He’s a business coach, strategist and advisor who has mastered the art of helping small and medium-sized enterprises.   In this fascinating conversation, we followed Tim’s journey in business over the course of his decorated career. We dove deep into business philosophy, frameworks for investing and scaling a business, and approaches to money that lead to wealth and freedom. We also touched on how Tim approaches property investment and how he allocates his financial resources. There's this, and so much more. So whether this is a new interview to you, or you heard this one when it

What’s your relationship with money? Is money your friend or your foe? How much do you focus on spending versus saving? On your income versus your investments? On your work versus your wealth? How proactive are you in managing your money? My old man Bushy Senior always used to say that it isn’t what you earn its what you spend that counts. So how sticky are you with money? How quickly does it slip through your fingers? How difficult do you find it to save money and set it aside when you are inundated with one cost after another with expenses always increasing? What if there was a way to automate your money management that creates a saving system by remote control without you having to do anything or worry about it once it’s set up? Would this make your life easier and reduce your stress and worry about the future? Would you be interested in learning more? If so, you are in luck as today we’re re-releasing my interview with Josh Blakeley on his popular Master Your Money Show where I outline the kick ASS Money

Just about everyone in Australia is an ‘expert’ on property. It doesn’t matter whether you’re at the pub, a BBQ on the weekend, the hairdressers or at work, someone is always happy to share their opinion. The funniest thing about all of this is that those with the strongest opinions and who talk loudest about property investments often don’t own any (or not for long).  As a wise person once said, ‘talk is cheap because it’s the only thing broke people can afford’.  The legitimacy litmus test on investment for me has always been about what you have actually done, not how much you talk about it. Unless your family and friends are active investors, don’t ask them. Even Jesus’ early friends didn’t believe he was the Messiah.  You need to seek out other like-minded, successful investors who have done what you are looking to do and learn from them. And if there is one person in the country that best fits the bill for independent objective and quality advice that you can trust it is Kevin Turner. Kevin is a regular
