What does it really take to become a successful investor? Is it luck? Skill? Or something a little more surprising... like learning to love your mistakes? 😮

In this week’s episode, we sit down with John Addis, founder of Intelligent Investor and author of How Not to Lose $1 Million: Win at Investing by Losing Less.

Today, we’ll share John’s inspirational journey, from buying his first flat at 21 to founding one of Australia's most respected financial magazines.

Along the way, he’s made his fair share of investing missteps – including a $1.4M property mistake – and shares his golden lessons that every investor can use to win more and lose less when investing.

In today’s bonus episode, we’re diving into why building inspections are essential for every property buyer.

Joined by building inspector and builder Paul Baker, we discuss how inspections help identify hidden issues that can impact both the safety and value of your property.

Paul highlights some key red flags to watch for in the reports, from foundation issues to water damage and asbestos. And because the inspection industry isn’t heavily regulated, he offers his own tips and advice on choosing a building inspector.
