But the biggest financial contract you'll ever sign was never built to work in your favour. So I invited Julian Fayad on the podcast - founder of Loan Options who's spent 15 years inside the lending machine and built an AI platform matching Aussies across 90+ banks - to expose who's really taking a cut of your money. Then he went viral calling out the government, and they came for his business. Here's what we uncovered: → The people who trust the system pay the most for it. It doesn't matter how good your credit score is. It matters whether you know the trade secrets nobody explains. → They swore black and blue they'd never touch capital gains tax. Then they did. Albanese said it 50 times before the election. Twelve months later, they changed it anyway. First home loan applications actually dropped 20-30% after the budget. The data doesn't lie. Their words do. → Good debt builds. Bad debt buries you. Most Australians never learn the difference - and household debt has never been higher. → Australia was the promised land. Now founders are leaving silently. Julian's actively looking at New Zealand, the US, and the UAE - where the first $100K of company profit is tax-free and every dollar of your salary sits in your pocket. His message: this next election is a point of no return. If nothing changes, he's out - and he won't be the only one. Sit back and enjoy. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official https://www.instagram.com/freedom_formula_podcast/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

Work harder. Find a gap. But Dr Natasha Cook built a seven-figure skincare brand from her parents' garage in Maitland and says the real game is something almost nobody talks about. So I invited her on this week's podcast - a board-certified dermatologist who self-funded her way to a profitable brand, said no to private equity twice, and got ostracised by her own profession for doing it. Here's what we uncovered: → Money isn't the biggest boat. It's the walk-away power. Her bricklayer dad taught her wealth was never about the fanciest house on the street. It's being able to leave the room, the boss, the situation that's crushing you. That's the whole point. → The foetal position is your friend. You can't build anything real without it. Natasha's been the "amorphous puddle" wondering if she made every wrong decision. The founders who never felt that pain never developed the invisible tools that actually run a business. → You can't rationalise with irrational people. What a customer says or does often has nothing to do with your product, your service, or you. You just became the punching bag for whatever's going on in their life. Stop absorbing it. → Healthy, happy, busy people don't leave scathing reviews. It's the loud minority weaponising complaints while regulators never vet the complainant. Meanwhile someone's doing hysterectomies on women who don't need them - and that flies under the radar. → Australia is drowning in low-hanging fruit. Walnuts on a desk get escalated to the medical board. Royal commissions burn hundreds of millions investigating things we already know 90% of the answer to. It's virtue signalling that looks busy and changes no outcome. → Short-term pain, long-term gain - there's no free lunch. Compound interest is your best investment. Don't buy the handbag. Delayed gratification built everything worth having, and this generation's been sold "just add water" success that doesn't exist. → Back yourself before you're ready. Getting her own name on a skincare label felt like "dragging an elephant around a football field." She was scared of the backlash. She did it anyway - because if you don't believe in what you make, why should anyone else? ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official https://www.instagram.com/freedom_formula_podcast/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

Work harder. Cut the coffee. But Australians working two incomes are still falling behind. So I invited Bish - a currency trader turned Bitcoin educator & entrepreneur, who's spent 14 years inside the machine - to expose what's actually destroying your purchasing power. Here's what we uncovered: → The problem isn't you. It's the money itself. Since 2020, there's been a 60% increase in Aussie dollars printed. You're not getting poorer. Your money is. → Inflation isn't 2%. It's whatever they want it to be. When beef prices spike 24%, they just remove beef from the inflation basket and add tofu instead. The real inflation? Look at money supply, not their numbers. → Your parents bought homes on one wage. You can't on two. Property, groceries, rent, power - everything costs more every year. That's by design, not bad luck. → Central banks are unelected officials deciding your financial future. They print money out of thin air and set interest rates nobody voted for. And somehow that's legal. → Bitcoin is the only asset you actually own. Real estate needs a real estate agent. Stocks need the market to open. Bitcoin? You own it 24/7, anywhere in the world. No permission needed. → The banks are debanking crypto holders. Bish got kicked off CBA for receiving large transactions. They didn't care when he explained. The decision was already made.

JOIN THE 3 DAY “HIGH-TICKET CLOSER CHALLENGE” AND LEARN THE SALES FRAMEWORK BEHIND $10K–$30K/MONTH EXTRA INCOME https://join.freedomacademy.com.au/opt-in-page —— Most founders think their business problems are strategy, cash flow, or operations. But Hannah Conkey says the real problem is running in their subconscious. So I invited her on this week’s podcast, to expose what's actually sabotaging high-performing leaders. Hannah, Founder and CEO of Mind Pilot, is a neuroscience consultant working with venture-backed founders. Here's what we uncovered: → Your biggest bottleneck is you. Every founder brings their entire baggage into the business. No strategy fixes self-sabotage. → Smart operators self-sabotage without knowing it. You hit heights, trauma happens, things recede. Then subconsciously you prevent yourself from going back there. You stay stuck. → Stress literally lowers your IQ. Under pressure, cognitive function drops. That bad decision months ago? You were operating with a compromised brain. → Burnout wrecks your judgment, not just your health. The bigger your business, the more decisions required. But if you're burnt out, you're making them with a broken brain. → You say you value one thing, do the opposite. Confirmation bias traps you in limiting stories. You seek evidence to prove your own limitations. → The founder matters more than the business idea. An average founder with self-awareness beats a genius running unconscious patterns. → What got you here won't get you there. The mindset that built $1M won't build $10M. You hit a ceiling and blame the market. Really, you're blocking yourself. If you've ever made a decision under pressure and only understood how bad it was months later - this explains exactly why. - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

So I invited Dave Hughes on the podcast (ex-Labor voter) who finally snapped and started investigating what else they're hiding from Australians: And here’s Hughesy’s charge sheet: → Promised no CGT changes before the election, changed it anyway. That's not a policy shift -that's a deliberate lie to voters. It triggered Dave to ask: what else are they hiding? → Billions in illegal tobacco flooding Australia while government looks away. Firebombings, cash leaving in shipping containers, every tobacconist openly breaking the law. But does government crackdown on crime? No. They tax hard-working citizens instead. → NDIS bleeding billions to fraud while genuine users suffer. The amount of theft is extraordinary. Yet government does nothing -they just don't respect the money. → Labour declared war on business (and it's costing Australia). This budget opened Dave's eyes to the real problem: government corruption, waste, and incompetence driving inflation in your grocery bill. → The fix: drastically smaller government. Singapore runs on 15% tax. Australia needs fewer departments, fewer people, more respect for taxpayer money. Whoever wins next needs to be honest with Australians - they're over the bullshit.

I sat down with Hussain Rifai - a guy who's negotiated government-to-government deals across continents, run private equity funds, and built businesses across five countries. He just got brutally honest about what Australia's getting wrong. Here's what he'd do if he became Prime Minister tomorrow: → Tear up the tax system from the bottom up. Not tinkering. Not capital gains tax tweaks. Complete restructure. Then use resource revenues to cut individual tax and drive real buying power back into the economy. → Stop selling our gas dirt cheap. Australia's handing over resources at pennies on the dollar while we struggle to pay rent. He compared it to the Norway model - actually profit from what we own. → The $360 billion submarine question nobody's asking. "Maybe I'm naive," he says, "but I don't understand what we're fighting. We could do 1,000 better things with that money." → Banking regulation is suffocating business investment. Banks are so restricted they only fund property. Meanwhile, actual businesses—the ones that create wealth, not just passive assets - get nothing. → Narrow-mindedness and racism are Australia's biggest problems. He's lived in 5 continents. Australia's the best. But only if we stop being afraid of each other. He's publishing "The Chaos Theorem" next - a memoir about losing a child, building businesses across continents, fighting racism, and the one thing that actually changes your life (spoiler: it's not luck). His message to the Prime Minister: Be brave. Make decisions that are unpopular politically but popular with the people who elected you. - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

Free live masterclass with Shane Da Costa: https://freedomacademy.com.au/masterclass-fdr —— Australian government just decided your life's work should be taxed like a paycheck. And Australians are p*ssed off about it. So I invited James Meli, ex-ATO tax lawyer with 20 years experience, to unpack what's actually buried in the latest budget. Here’s how the conversation went: → Sold your business after 20 years of grinding? The tax office now treats that payout almost like it's just another wage. Not a reward for the risk. Just more income to tax. → Family trusts - the thing your accountant set up to protect what you've built - just got gutted. James called it a sledgehammer to crack a walnut. → There's $15 billion in "decisions made but not yet announced" hiding in the budget. Nobody knows what that means yet. Not even James. That's the part that should worry you most. → Thinking about leaving Australia one day? There's an exit tax waiting for you on the way out - and most people have no idea it exists. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

But here’s the twist; He was making money and providing for his family. But he was sedating every single day - drugs, alcohol, screens, work itself - sweeping under the rug all the shit that wasn't working. When his first daughter was born, he went into a deep depression. Six months in, the thoughts started: maybe it would be better if I wasn't here anymore. He asked his doctor for antidepressants. Two months before his second daughter was born, his wife said "I can't do this like last time." He had to rip apart his business and rebuild. On today's episode we discussed: • Empowered vs disempowered men - why he shut down $5M business and moved his terrified wife to Thailand for the four freedoms • Real leadership - vulnerability plus certainty, not promises you can't keep (why most men are full of shit) • Why men must train as warriors but live in peace - forms of sedation men don't recognize stem from not sitting with emotions If you're making money but sacrificing everything else to do it - this shows what's possible on the other side. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial/ ———————————— Follow Toni on: https://www.instagram.com/toniempoweredman/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

He helps high performers unlock the hidden 20-30% they didn't know they had. He believes conventional blood tests compare you to sick people, not optimal performers. Your results come back "normal" but you're exhausted with brain fog. The doctor says you're fine. He calls this the yellow zone - not sick enough to diagnose, but far from optimal. On today's episode we discussed: • Why blood work shows issues 18 months before symptoms appear (if you're looking through the right lens) • White blood cells: conventional range 4-11, optimal 5.5-7.5 - you can decline for years being told you're "normal" • Why 99% of high performers have leaky gut, low immune defense, or gut infections based on 300+ stool tests • His specialist generalist approach: osteopathy, strength conditioning, functional medicine - because no system in the body works alone If you're performing at a high level but suspect there's more in the tank - this shows you what to test for. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial/ ———————————— Follow Daniel on: https://www.instagram.com/dr.daniel.kirkbride/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

Free live masterclass with Shane Da Costa: https://freedomacademy.com.au/masterclass-fdr ———————————— Richmond lost $1.2 million and spent his last $50k. His first coach gave him one rule: "Always sit at the front of the room." That advice led to Arnold Schwarzenegger's house with 100 people - Arnold, Sly, Statham, billionaire producers. There he met Taj, thought she was a waitress, coached her, and she introduced him to the creator of Grey Goose vodka who sold the company for $2.2 billion. Richmond became a founding partner in François's Armagnac company. All because he sat at the front. We break down proximity is power, why successful people aren't smarter (they just understand how systems work), how Richmond invested $350k USD in Myron Golden's VIP mastermind, and how Myron taught him to sell $100k offers by promising 10x return- not time or access. Richmond then sold three $1M offers and eleven $100k offers using those principles. Plus: why your peer group determines your income, and why you'll either leave or raise your standards. If you're stuck earning the same income with the same people, this conversation shows exactly what to do differently. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial/ ———————————— Follow Richmond on: https://www.instagram.com/richmonddinh/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

From discipline and physical standards to leadership and responsibility, this conversation goes deep into the mindset shift required to stop drifting and start operating with intent. Louis-Pierre shares why most men struggle with confidence - not because they lack potential, but because they avoid the hard standards that build self-respect. We unpack performance, identity, strength, and why earning your own respect comes before expecting it from anyone else. This isn’t about motivation or surface-level self-improvement. It’s about building structure, discipline, and internal conviction so your life reflects the standards you claim to hold. If you’re navigating growth, leadership, or rebuilding yourself in any area - this episode is a direct reminder that freedom isn’t found in comfort. It’s built through responsibility. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial/ ———————————— Follow Louis Pierre Mercier on: http://instagram.com/lp_mercier - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

He left school early, stepped straight into the trenches of mortgage broking and private lending, and spent decades inside the engine room of how money really moves. Now the founder of Aurelius Capital, Rory is calling out what most Australians never question - the 30-year mortgage. In this episode, we break down why the “dream home” is often a financial trap, how banks and brokers profit when you stay in debt longer, why refinancing can secretly reset your progress, and how most borrowers are unknowingly kept stuck for decades. Rory explains what good brokers actually do differently, why commercial property can outperform residential, and how structuring debt correctly can buy back your time — not just grow your net worth. If you’ve ever been told “just get a 30-year loan and you’ll be fine,” this conversation might completely change how you think about property, wealth, and freedom. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / [https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official](https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official/) Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial/ ———————————— Follow Rory on: http://instagram.com/roryfinance/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official

It doesn't. It was designed to create compliant workers. And in 2026, the gap between what schools teach and what the world actually requires has become impossible to ignore. Brett Campbell is a multi-business founder, CEO, investor, and co-founder of EUKA Future Learning (https://euka.edu.au/) - Australia's largest homeschool provider supporting tens of thousands of families globally. But this conversation isn't about homeschooling as a trend. It's about recognising that the systems most people blindly trust are preparing the next generation for a world that no longer exists. Brett breaks down why 1 in 4 families turn to homeschooling due to bullying, why another 20% reject the philosophy being taught in classrooms, and why entrepreneurship is no longer a nice-to-have skill—it's a survival requirement. He also holds an unpopular but necessary truth: most people shouldn't be in business. Not because they lack capability, but because business demands responsibility, resilience, and decision-making capacity most have never been trained for. Inside this conversation: • Why the education system is outdated, not broken—and what that distinction means • The real reasons families are fleeing traditional schooling at unprecedented rates • The courage required to speak truth in a world that rewards compliance • Why wasted potential is the real tragedy of modern life If you're a parent questioning the system, an entrepreneur building something that matters, or someone who refuses to settle for a life lived on default mode—this episode will land differently. ———————————— Follow Us On: Instagram: / [https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official](https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official/) Facebook: / https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial/ ———————————— Follow Brett on: http://instagram.com/brettcampbellofficial/ - Get weekly tips and insights on scaling your business: https://relentlessentrepreneur.com.au/email-optin - Follow Shane on social media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/shanedacostaofficial Instagram https://www.instagram.com/shanedacosta_official
