| 8/30/26 | #301 Farid Zaki - What The Federal Budget Means For Your Business | In Episode #301 of Catching Up with CUB, Daniel sits down with Farid Zaki, Founder and Managing Director of ATP Accounting & Taxation Professionals, to unpack how proposed Federal Budget changes could impact Australian business owners. With 32 years of experience in accounting, Farid breaks down the proposed changes to trusts and business structures, what they could mean for the way business owners manage and distribute profits, and why getting the right advice will become increasingly important. Daniel and Farid also discuss negative gearing, the growing interest in commercial property, cash flow versus profit, managing costs and how businesses can respond when economic conditions become more challenging. Rather than sitting on the sidelines, Farid explains why periods of uncertainty can create opportunity for businesses prepared to adapt, invest strategically and strengthen their operations. A practical conversation on navigating change, protecting your business and making smarter financial decisions in a shifting economic environment. | — | ||||||
| 8/17/26 | #300 Mark Bouris - The State of Australia Part One | For the special 300th episode of Catching Up with CUB, Daniel catches up with Mark Bouris to discuss the state of Australia, where the country is heading and the economic pressures facing business owners. Mark shares why he believes Australia is heading towards a recession, including his concerns around inflation, interest rates, unemployment and the growing divide between the public and private sectors. The conversation also tackles housing affordability, taxation, government spending, migration and Australia's increasingly divided political landscape, before exploring practical ideas to help younger Australians enter the property market and encourage developers to build more housing. Mark also opens up about why Australia is becoming an increasingly expensive place to do business and why more entrepreneurs are considering investing and operating overseas. From the risk of recession to the future of Australian business, Episode #300 asks what needs to change to put prosperity and the private sector back at the centre of Australia's economic future. | — | ||||||
| 8/2/26 | #299 Tim Wilson – Is the Australian Dream Still Within Reach? | In this episode, Daniel sits down with Australia's Shadow Treasurer, Tim Wilson, for an exclusive conversation on the Federal Budget, Australia's economic future and what he believes needs to change to restore opportunity for ambitious Australians. From the Federal Government's proposed tax changes and housing affordability to productivity, migration and small business, Tim shares why he believes the latest budget could make it harder for Australians to get ahead, and outlines the Opposition's approach to supporting investment, entrepreneurship and economic growth. Daniel and Tim also discuss the role entrepreneurs play in growing the economy, why some business owners are considering expanding overseas, and provide an inside perspective on the ideas, challenges and policy debates shaping Australia's economic future. Whether you're building a business, buying your first home or simply interested in where Australia is heading, this episode provides a unique perspective on some of the biggest economic and policy decisions shaping the country's future. | — | ||||||
