| 5/18/26 |  Why 7000 Australian Builders Went Broke While We're In A Housing Crisis | ft. Scott Challen | 7000 Australian builders went broke in the last two years. We're in the middle of a housing crisis. How is that even possible? This week I sat down with Scott Challen from QHI Group, builder, businessman and one of the most switched on voices in the Australian building industry right now — for one of the most fired up conversations we've had in the shed. We get into why housing is becoming unaffordable, why builders keep going broke, why we can't find enough trades, and why the people makin... | 1h 15m 34s | ||||||

I'm back in the shed with Hectic Hector for round two and seven months on from our last conversation the results speak for themselves. This isn't about smashing weights and looking good.

In this episode I break down why controlling your inputs is one of the fastest and most practical ways to lift your mindset, your productivity and your results without adding a single extra hour to your day. If your default is background news, talkback radio and social media doom scro... | 19m 41s | ||||||
