No one taught me how to build wealth for my family. I had to learn the hard way.

If you grew up in Australia, you probably know what I mean.

Financial literacy wasn’t mandatory on the school curriculum.

Money talk at home?

Usually just about bills, not about how to strategically build a future.

Fast forward: I’m a dad of two boys, two dogs, and I spend my days helping families make sense of their money.

But here’s the thing, most of what I know now, I wish I’d learned a decade ago.

I see it every day:

Families working hard, building businesses, juggling life, but feeling lost when it comes to protecting what they’ve built.

The “big transfer” of wealth is happening all around us, but most families are left to figure it out on their own.

That’s why I’m obsessed with the “big picture”.

I want to help families, parents, kids, even grandparents create a plan that actually works for them.

It’s not about fancy jargon or one-size-fits-all advice.

It’s about making sure the hard work turns into real security and opportunity for the next generation.

I’m still learning, still running (literally, keeps me sane), and still making time for family holidays.

But if there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s this:

The best investment I ever made was learning how to protect my family’s future and helping others do the same.

What’s one thing you wish you’d learned about money earlier in life?
