About this episode

Australia's property market is at a breaking point, and the people who built their fortunes in it are already responding. In this episode, Jack Henderson, one of Australia's most talked-about buyer's agents, breaks down why the system is stacking up against ambitious Australians, why wealthy people in his own circle are already planning their exit, and why he believes the backlash against success is the real story nobody's telling. Jack Henderson is the founder of Henderson Advocacy, a property buyer's agency that has acquired over $750 million in real estate for clients across Australia. After being kicked out of school at 15, he built a property portfolio worth over $70 million by age 30, and now runs a business doing tens of millions in revenue a year.
