Julian is joined in the podcast studio by Jessica Brady, a money educator, author and former financial adviser with two decades inside some of the biggest names in global finance — CBA, Macquarie and Zurich among them. Originally from the corporate wealth-management world, Jessica Brady co-founded a financial advice firm for millennials in the thick of the Royal Commission, before walking away from her equity when she realised the people she most wanted to help could no longer afford the advice. She went on to build the Greenhouse Money Growing Program — an accessible, community-based way to learn about money without the financial-adviser price tag — and has just released her debut book, Get Growing: A No-Nonsense Guide to Cultivating Wealth and Financial Freedom. A passionate advocate for tearing down the barriers that have long surrounded financial literacy, Jessica’s mission is to help everyday Australians understand the fears, beliefs and behaviours that quietly shape their relationship with money. In this episode, Jessica speaks to the emotional side of investing the property world too often ignores — why almost no one ever feels “ready”, the childhood “hot iron” moments that drive money fear, how to build genuine financial readiness, and how to hold your nerve when the market turns — sparking a refreshingly honest conversation.
