The Investor Lab

"A century of progress in a decade." That's not hype – it's what's actually happening with AI right now. And if you're not paying attention, you might miss the biggest economic transformation of our lifetime. This isn’t another ‘how to write emails with ChatGPT’ episode. This is a conversation about the real implications of AI — not as a productivity hack, but as a species-level shift that’s already underway. In Part 1 of this series, we unpack what most people are missing: not just the pace of change, but the scale of it — and why the next few years will feel like living through centuries of progress, all compressed into a single decade. If it hasn’t hit you yet… it will. Here’s what we explore: * Why the “AI boom” isn’t just big — it’s species-level * How exponential change tricks your brain (and leaves you behind) * What most experts aren’t saying about what’s coming next * The dangerous comfort of denial — and what to do instead We’re not fearmongering. But we’re also not sugarcoating. This is the foundational episode to help you understand what’s happening — so you can prepare, adapt, and make decisions with eyes wide open. Stay tuned for next week — we’ll pull apart how this likely to completely reshape the economy as we know it.  See you on the inside, WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/live/X1nDYHHtv00?si=5dPF62qZ0EMRfu7T [https://www.youtube.com/live/X1nDYHHtv00?si=5dPF62qZ0EMRfu7T]  IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

House prices climbing. Migration surging. Rental markets tighter than ever… The whispers of a new property "supercycle" are growing louder by the day. In this episode of The Investor Lab, we dive deep into the data that suggests Australia might be entering a sustained 2-3 year period of rising property prices - and what that could mean for your investing strategy. Here's what we unpack: * The key indicators pointing to a potential supercycle * Why this cycle is different from the COVID boom * The structural forces driving a potential multi-year upswing * What smart investors are doing right now to position themselves for what's coming With construction bottlenecks, record migration, and interest rates stabilising, understanding these shifts could be the difference between catching the wave or missing out entirely.

This conversation isn't about interest rates, the property cycle, or strategy. It's about the emotional friction that keeps smart investors from moving forward — even when the plan is clear. "I just need to save a bit more first" "I'll wait until the market settles" "I'm not quite ready yet" These aren't just personal thoughts — they're a pattern. One we've seen hundreds of times. And it's not a strategy problem. It's not about the data, the plan, or the timing. It's the inner game. In this episode, we dive into why so many smart, capable people stay stuck on the edge of investing — and what actually moves the needle. We unpack the psychology of waiting, the emotional loops that masquerade as logic, and how to break free from a mindset that keeps you on pause. We pull apart: * The real reasons smart people stall, even when the strategy is sound * The mindset patterns we've seen keep people stuck in planning purgatory * How to tell when your 'caution' is actually avoidance * A better question than "Should I invest now?" * How to start moving — even if you're not 100% sure See you on the inside,    WATCH ON YOUTUBE:  https://www.youtube.com/live/cHKxGK5O3W4?si=iZZwg7AcDpXlLV57 [https://www.youtube.com/live/cHKxGK5O3W4?si=iZZwg7AcDpXlLV57]    IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

The markets just suffered their biggest weekly drop since the GFC. Headlines are screaming panic. But what if there's a bigger story unfolding – one that could actually set up Australian investors for advantage? This week on The Investor Lab, we're diving deep into what's really happening behind the market meltdown and emerging trade wars. Here's what we'll unpack: * The real story behind Trump's new tariff plan (and why it's reshaping global trade) * Why tariffs might actually lead to lower prices in Australia (not higher) * Are we about to head into a recession, or come out of one? * How this massive market correction could impact your portfolio (for the better) So if you’re getting caught in the swell, join us on Friday. We’ll break it all down.
