Real Conversations About Money Decisions That Matter
Look, we're not here to promise you'll become the next Warren Buffett after watching a few sessions. What we can tell you is this: every Tuesday evening, actual financial professionals sit down and walk through real scenarios they've encountered. The kind where someone's trying to figure out if they should refinance, or whether that investment property is worth the hassle.
These aren't scripted presentations with perfect answers. Sometimes our facilitators disagree with each other, which honestly makes things more interesting. You'll hear different perspectives on superannuation strategies, tax planning approaches, and how to think about risk when you're actually living through uncertain markets.
What's Coming Up in 2025
All sessions run from 7pm to 8:30pm AEST. You'll get the recording even if you can't make it live, but the Q&A portion is usually where things get most useful.

Alistair Pennington
Senior Financial Educator
Alistair's been working in financial planning for about 15 years now, mostly with clients who are somewhere in that murky middle ground between just starting out and actually having significant wealth. Which means he's seen a lot of the same questions come up repeatedly, and has developed pretty strong opinions about what works and what's just noise.
He's not the type to sugarcoat things. If something's going to be complicated or take longer than people want to hear, he'll tell you. But he also has this knack for breaking down concepts that sound intimidating on paper into something you can actually work with. And he's honest about when professional advice is worth paying for versus when you can probably figure it out yourself.
What He Focuses On
- Retirement planning for people still 10-20 years out
- Tax-effective investment structures for mid-career professionals
- Property investment fundamentals without the hype
- Superannuation optimization strategies that actually move the needle
