The Oddi Poddi

The following is a conversation with Christopher Fellas. Chris is a close friend, my accountant, my financial adviser, and occasionally my psychologist.

Chris brings more than 35 years of experience across financial markets, accounting, wealth creation and strategic investment advice. Over that time, Chris has built deep relationships throughout the real estate industry and works alongside some of the sector's most respected figures, including Maclay Longhurst, Kon Stathopoulos, Andrew Liddell, among many others.

On the podcast, we explore the practical wealth-building strategies and investment insights Chris shares with clients. But this episode goes further than that. It's a conversation about the economy, the government, and property, and about the generational beliefs we've held about property that may no longer hold true. And why, in the current climate, hope is not a strategy.

Please note, nothing in this episode should be taken as personal financial or investment advice. It's a conversation for general interest only, and you should always speak to your own adviser before making any financial decisions.
