  • Hit and miss

    Some great content but also some very average, Daniel is basically very anti corporate and thinks the only path to success is small business. Also if you listen to some of the earlier episodes I question the values set but will leave that to listeners.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#291 Calvin Chilchik - From Network to Opportunity
Q: What are the biggest lessons Calvin learned from CUB that he will take into his new business?
Calvin emphasizes the importance of building genuine relationships, cultivating a strong team culture, high standards, and the discipline of following a proven sales process. He plans to apply these to his US expansion, focusing on non-transactional connections, understanding that the network serves long-term, not just immediate ROI, and developing a scalable sales framework.
#290 Peter Ristevski - The 1% Wealth Playbook
Q: How can wealthy individuals minimize taxes through international structures without running afoul of the law?
By establishing substance-driven arrangements (offshore trusts, foreign entities with real staff, offices, IP, and legitimate commercial activity) that shift profits while complying with local laws and international tax rules.
#290 Peter Ristevski - The 1% Wealth Playbook
Q: What is the unit trust structure and why is it favored over a traditional company setup?
The unit trust distributes profits to partners based on units owned, avoiding the rigidity of a corporate tax structure and allowing flexible, individual distributions that align with each partner's circumstances.
#289 Andrew Herrmann - Sales Is Still King
Q: Do you think salespeople are born or made?
Andrew believes salespeople can be trained and developed, though some may have natural strengths in conversation and quick thinking. The core driver remains relentless practice, high activity, and following a proven process.
#276 Lachlan Vidler - Smart Investing in a Tough Market
Q: Where should someone start building a property portfolio in 2026 according to Lachlan?
Start with an investment-grade property, possibly in a regional area with strong growth or near beaches, and balance yield with long-term capital growth while considering grants and program eligibility.
