From teenage bankruptcy lessons to becoming Australia’s youngest Telstra Business Woman of the Year.

In this inspiring Summer Series episode, we sit down with Kirsty “KD”: a proud Tasmanian investor, entrepreneur, and mum who’s built a multimillion-dollar property portfolio the boring way… and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Kirsty opens up about the moment her parents lost everything, how it shaped her conservative money mindset, and why “safe and sustainable” has been her lifelong investing philosophy.

This is a story about playing the long game, finding happiness in simplicity, and proving that “boring” can be brilliant.

🎙️ Tune in to hear how Kirsty landed the plane and built the life she designed, one smart decision at a time.

In our second-to-last Summer Series episode, Bryce and Ben sit down with Mark: a quietly successful, deeply humble investor who has been building wealth through property for more than 3 decades.

Raised by hardworking migrant parents who arrived in Australia with nothing, Mark learned early about sacrifice, saving, and the importance of respecting money.

Those lessons shaped every decision from buying his first property at 25 (at 10% interest) to holding through cycles, making mistakes, and letting compounding do the heavy lifting.

In this conversation, Mark shares:
💸 The million-dollar mistake he’d never repeat
🏡 Why fewer, higher-quality properties beat owning “more”
⏳ What “doing nothing” really means in long-term investing

This is Get Rich Slow in its purest form. Listen now!

At just 14, Christian's life took an unexpected turn; one that would shape how he thought about money, resilience, and freedom.

From growing up in Sydney’s west to building a life on Victoria’s coast, Christian’s journey is anything but ordinary. Along the way, he’s worn more hats than most: surfer, real estate agent, business owner, and now... something entirely new.

In this Summer Series conversation, Christian opens up about:
💡 The life event that completely rewired his mindset
🏡 The surprising first property decision that set him on his path
💰 The simple “envelope rule” that changed how he and his wife managed money
📈 And how he’s now redefining what it means to land the plane

It’s an inspiring, no-fluff chat about rebuilding, refocusing, and creating choices that last a lifetime.

As we head into a new year, many people want to get ahead financially — but struggle to work out why their money never seems to stick.

In this TPC Gold, Ben unpacks the difference between intentional wealth and unconscious spending, highlighting how lifestyle creep, forgotten subscriptions and interest costs quietly erode surplus over time.

This short episode sets the foundation for building financial clarity and making better trade-off decisions with your money.

If you want to take this further, Ben will be unpacking these ideas in detail in Empower Wealth’s upcoming live webinar, where you’ll learn how to track your money, target surplus, and take back control heading into 2026.

What does it look like when someone backs themselves, takes calculated risks and refuses to sit on the sidelines?

That’s the story of Ben, a chiropractor, business owner, husband, dad and long-time TPC listener who built his financial future with purpose, action and his motto: “No risk, no magic.”

From growing up in a middle-class Egyptian-Australian family with first-class values, to chasing status in a BMW, to burning out and rediscovering his purpose… Ben’s journey proves that wealth isn’t about luck; it’s about habits, behaviour and backing yourself.

This is the heart of Summer Series: real people, real decisions, real results, and a reminder that anyone can do this with the right mindset and a clear plan. 😊
