While you’re busy over-analysing, someone else is quietly building serious wealth with half the effort.

This snapshot is for the overthinkers, the spreadsheet junkies, and the “I’ll-wait-for-the-market-to-crash” crew. Chris Gray breaks down why simplicity beats strategy in property investing, and how being lazy on purpose might be the smartest wealth move you’ll ever make.

If you've got cash flow and no clue what to do next then listen to this episode.

In this episode:

• Why trying to “be clever” might be your biggest wealth blocker
• How to leverage debt (without drowning in it) to grow a serious portfolio
• The simple mindset shift that separates action-takers from armchair experts
• A dead-simple rule of thumb for choosing the right kind of property
• Why paying more tax could actually fast-track your next investment

Sometimes, the smartest move isn’t to study harder. It’s to get out of your own way and just do the damn thing.

You didn’t go into business to miss bedtime and burn out.

Somewhere along the way between the hustle, the pressure to provide, and never ending to do list, the life you were building stopped feeling like yours.

In this episode, Carl sits down with marketing coach and all-around good human Adam Franklin to explore the unspoken truths about building a business while being a present, grounded dad. You’ll hear how Adam turned 4 to 5 hour workdays into his sweet spot for success, how he uses AI to create more space for parenting, not more pressure, and why he's chosen peace over hustle.

Carl and Adam also go deep into modern fatherhood, exploring how to model emotional resilience, why meditation doesn’t need to be weird or perfect to work, and how redefining success can make you more ambitious, not less.

Whether you’re a dad drowning in endless tasks or just want more time for what matters most, this episode will help with mindset shifts, practical examples, and one powerful reminder. You don’t have to do it all alone.

Running a business while raising a family? I get it, it’s a juggle.

You want to grow, make a bigger impact, maybe even reclaim some time… but not if it costs you your health or time with your kids.

In this episode, I chat with Nicholas Kusmich about how to scale revenue without scaling your stress. We unpack what it really takes to attract better clients, why most businesses are ignoring huge parts of their market, and how to build income streams that give you more freedom — not more to manage.

• The blind spot that’s keeping most businesses from reaching more of the right people
• What dog owners and cat lovers can teach you about marketing (seriously
• How to spot your best clients — and attract more just like them
• The danger of surface-level tips and the power of solving real problem
• When it’s time to refresh your offer — and how to know the difference between a tweak and a total rethink

If you’re ready to grow your business in a way that actually supports your life, not competes with it then this one’s for you.

If your version of “success” still has you missing bedtime… it might be time to change the game plan.

In this episode, Carl sits down with Steve Palise, a dad, business owner, and accidental evangelist for low-stress commercial property investing. They unpack everything from leaving engineering to scaling a lean, mean, lifestyle-first property business.

Steve isn’t talking theory. He’s living the dream most of us are still trying to define, debt-free commercial assets, half a million in passive income, and family travel 4 months a year with time to surf to top it off.

We go deep on how you can build a freedom-rich future with simple, smart, replicable decisions that put your family front and center, not just in your values, but in your calendar as well.

This isn’t about being flashy, it’s about building a life you don’t want to escape from. Commercial property investing isn’t just for suits. It’s also perfect for dads who want live their best life.

What if your business could run without you lifting a finger? Would you let it?

In this snapshot, Carl and Dean Jackson crack open Dean’s legendary "Oil Well" model. This is about building revenue streams that pump while you sleep, without you getting stuck in the day-to-day grind.

• How to draw your personal "milk line” so you stop doing tasks you should have outsourced years ago.
• Why scheduled, structured activities (like podcasting) can become the heartbeat of your marketing without draining your energy.
