Two Aussie dads who've already built real success, and we're not done.
This is fatherhood, being a good man, business, entrepreneurship, property, fitness, whatever it takes to show up in every part of life.
No bullshit, nothing held back. We've made money, made mistakes, and we're still figuring it out every day.
This show exists for anyone carrying the same pressures and still choosing to build, stay positive, and keep moving forward in this
country.
Two Aussie dads becoming better men, better mates, better Aussies,
one honest conversation at a time.
Tinfoil hats on. Nick brings the Port Arthur conspiracy to the table: the surrendered rifle, the locked exits, the custom morgue truck and the witness accounts. We dig into what's claimed, what's been debunked and why you never really get the full truth. From there it's gun laws, how a man on an ASIO watch list got a licence before Bondi, and why a million law-abiding owners keep copping the blame. We kick off with Tim's best troll comebacks, how he handles the hate, and whether Instagram fin...

Calista Clements: The Government Is Broke, Bloated and Rotten
Our first guest. Calista Clements started posting about politics a year ago and now pulls over 10 million views a month. Lockdowns, the CFMEU, the treaty, immigration, a $200 billion state debt and an election two months away. We cover the lot. Plus child safety in remote communities, uni as a money machine, tradies getting poached by government projects and business owners paying more tax than they keep. Straight talk on what plenty of Aussies are thinking but won't say out loud.

High Standards, High Love: How We Parent
Tim and Nick get into what actually works when it comes to raising kids, no theory, just what they've tried and what's stuck. They break down the "high standards, high love" approach, why consistent follow through beats yelling every time, and the wording shift from threats to "when you do this, then that happens" that changed how their kids respond. They also get into modelling accountability by owning their own mistakes in front of their kids, the wildly different experience of raising boys...

You're Getting Poorer - Investing Is Now Mandatory
Investing isn't optional anymore, it's survival. Tim and Nick break down why the average Aussie is going backwards even while earning more, how inflation and a tax system that doesn't index are quietly making everyone poorer, and why property remains the best hedge against it. They get into real numbers, borrowing power, negative gearing myths, and the mindset shift from feeling guilty about wanting money to actually playing the game. Plus the new equity farmer strategy, why banks are despera...

Political Climate In Australia - Are We At Boiling Point?
Why has picking a political side become more important than actually agreeing on anything? Tim and Nick talk division, the media's role in stoking it, who they'd pick to run the country given the choice, and a few genuinely interesting ideas for dragging Australia back to the middle.

Investing In 2026 - Why Aren't We Taught About Money?
Property's spooking everyone right now, but Tim and Nick are buying. This week they break down why the gap between people who own property and people who don't is widening fast, how a force value renovation turned into a 20% equity jump before a client even settled, and the wild loophole where foreign buyers pay less tax on Aussie property than citizens do. They get into who actually shouldn't be buying right now (turns out almost nobody), why the highest income earners aren't always the ones...

Get The Foundations Right First - Building Yourself & A Business

The daily habits that keep you honest even when nobody's watching. Why what you're feeding your head every day s...

Why Are We Still Betting on Australia?
The tax system punishes ambition. Small business owners get smashed. Good people are packing up and leaving for better conditions overseas. So why do we stay? Because this country is still worth it. In this episode we get into the real cost of building something here, the mess of bad policy, and the case for sticking around anyway.
