I joined David Taylor on ABC The Business to discuss signs that the market might be entering bubble territory.  

Sharemarkets continue to climb, driven by fear of missing out (FOMO), expectations of interest rate cuts, and easing global tensions. But these same forces are also evidence that this boom could be shifting into the early stages of a bubble. continue…

Today, I joined Juliette Saly on Ausbiz to discuss what’s powering Bitcoin’s bull case.

In this episode of Over the Money Fence, I join Nicola and Di to explore the Three Bucket Strategy – a simple yet powerful way to take control of your finances with structure and confidence.
