The Oddi Poddi

The following is a conversation with Andrew McCann, CEO of Jellis Craig, one of Victoria's most respected real estate networks. Having started as a sales PA at just 19 years old, Andrew has built a remarkable career in real estate, now leading a business of 45 offices, 1,200 people, and more than 10,000 property transactions each year.

In this episode, we discuss leadership, culture, high-performance teams, and what separates the industry's best agents. We also explore grief, marriage separation, mindset, gratitude, and the lessons Andrew has learned about success, perspective, and leading with humility.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Andrew McCann.

The following is a conversation with Paul Attard, founder of Built, one of Australia's largest privately owned construction companies. Starting the business at just 26 years old with no construction background, Paul built a reputation as one of the country's most respected business leaders and relationship builders.

In this episode, we discuss trust, networking, leadership, and what it takes to build relationships with some of Australia's most successful people. We also explore addiction, sobriety, identity, and the lessons Paul has learned about success, purpose, and finding peace.

I hope you enjoy my conversation with Paul Attard.

The following is a conversation with Tom Hawley, the founder and director of Azura Financial, one of Australia’s leading mortgage brokerages.

Beyond finance, Tom has built a strong public profile through social media and, more recently, national television, where he shares his views on economics, politics, taxation, housing policy and the Australian property market.

In this episode, we discuss tax reform, housing affordability, government spending, and what it really takes to build a business at scale. It’s a thoughtful and candid conversation about money, markets, ambition, and why Tom believes Australia needs to do more to support the private sector.

This episode kicks off a new series, The Quarterly with Team AO, where the team comes together to share what's actually working for them and what's not.

This conversation is with Jack Parry and Jasmine Angelsey - two agents who are among the most skilled and technical in the country - off the back of a huge month: 17 sales in May 2026.

It's a very different conversation to the one we had recently with Shannan Whitney and Charles Touma, who spoke about how quickly and how much the market had shifted; this one's about how Team AO is navigating it, covering the pricing conversations, the buyer psychology, and the communication that builds trust with both vendors and buyers.

Whether you're an agent or just a passionate property person, this one's for you.

Charles Touma has spent more than 25 years building a successful career in real estate. In this episode, we explore ADHD, addiction, identity, self-sabotage, discipline, and the inner work required to rebuild yourself from the inside out. A raw and honest conversation about success, struggle, and becoming the person your future requires.
