   Sydney Roosters CEO Joe Kelly on Property, Business & Leadership

   In this episode of Talking Real Estate with John Gibson, John and Mark Warren sit down with Joe Kelly, Group CEO of the Sydney Roosters and Easts Group, for a fascinating conversation spanning sport, business, leadership and property. Joe shares the journey that took him from growing up in Scone to senior roles across some of the biggest names in Australian and international sport, including the North Sydney Bears, Chelsea FC, South Sydney Rabbitohs, Manly Sea Eagles and ultimately the Sydney Roosters. They explore what it takes to run one of Australia’s most successful sporting organisations, the importance of culture and long-term planning, the Roosters’ growing property and investment portfolio, the expansion of rugby league into the United States and how AI is already changing the way professional sporting organisations operate. Joe also opens up about his own property journey, buying his first apartment in London while working at Chelsea, the lessons he’s learned along the way and why he believes getting into the property market early and taking a long-term view can make such a difference. A wide-ranging conversation with one of Australian sport’s most experienced administrators, offering a rare look behind the scenes of the Sydney Roosters and the thinking that drives success both on and off the field.

   Paul Dunn - Premierships, Property and Business

   On this episode of Talking Real Estate with John Gibson, John Gibson and Mark Warren are joined by Paul Dunn, former rugby league great, two-time premiership winner, Clive Churchill Medallist, Australian and New South Wales representative, former South Sydney Rabbitohs CEO, Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs board member, and now CEO of Believe First. Paul talks footy, his country upbringing and the lessons he learned along the way. He opens up about the transition from professional sport into business, the challenge of finding identity after football, and why replacing the structure, routine and sense of belonging can be just as difficult as replacing an income. Paul also shares how AI is transforming the way he works with businesses, explaining how AI agents, automation and smarter systems are improving productivity, quality and speed, while creating capacity to produce work that once took weeks. In true Talking Real Estate style, the discussion then turns to property. Paul reflects on buying his first home near Waverley Oval, the properties he wishes he had held, lessons from buying, selling and developing, and why good advice matters. John, Mark and Paul also tackle negative gearing, housing supply, first-home buyers, investors, and the role property plays as both a home and a long-term wealth-building vehicle. The conversation rounds out with Rapid Fire, covering leadership, Wally Lewis, Phil Gould, Canterbury, Penrith, and the moments from Paul’s career that continue to stand out. A candid, insightful and entertaining conversation covering rugby league, business, AI, property, leadership and life after professional sport.

   Steve “Blocker” Roach on Property, Discipline and the Long Game

   Talking Real Estate with John Gibson, alongside co host Mark Warren, welcomes one of rugby league’s true heavyweights, Steve “Blocker” Roach. Blocker’s resume speaks for itself. A Balmain icon who debuted in 1982 and went on to play 185 top grade games for the Tigers, he also had a stint with Warrington in the UK. He represented New South Wales 17 times in State of Origin, pulled on the green and gold for 20 Tests, earned multiple Dally M Team of the Year selections, and was later named in the Team of the 1980s. His legacy was cemented with induction into the NRL Hall of Fame, and more recently, the NSW Rugby League Hall of Fame. Off the field, he has built a long media career across radio and Fox Sports, becoming one of the most recognisable voices in the game. In this episode, Blocker steps away from footy stories and media headlines to talk about real life decisions. Money, discipline, family, pressure, and what he would tell his younger self. John brings the property lens, shaped by more than 35 years advising buyers and investors, to unpack the kind of thinking that actually builds long term outcomes. You will hear the trade offs people miss, the value of playing the long game, and a simple principle Blocker comes back to with no hesitation. If you are buying your first place, investing, or just trying to make better calls with money and property, this is a cracking listen.
