TPC Gold | What You Need to Know About Mould in Homes
Most Australians don’t realise their home could be harming their health—until it’s too late. In this bonus episode, Bryce chats with building biologist Raphael Siket and Amelia Lee from Undercover Architect about one of the most under-recognised health threats in our homes: mould. From erratic kids and persistent brain fog to full-blown respiratory issues, mould-related health effects are often misdiagnosed—or completely missed. But as Raph shares, once the source is identified and addressed, the turnaround can be life changing.

551 | What Elephants Can Teach You About Property Growth
Charlie Munger once said that reading widely is the key to wisdom, and in this episode, we’re channelling that spirit. 📚 What do elephants, electricity grids, and economic growth have in common? 🐘⚡ They’re all governed by scaling laws — and today, we’re diving into the groundbreaking work of Professor Geoffrey West to show you how biology, cities, and even companies follow predictable mathematical patterns as they grow. And here’s the twist: when cities grow, they don’t just get bigger — they get smarter, more efficient, and more valuable per person. You’ll learn: 📈 What scaling laws are and why they matter to property investors📈 The 15% rule: why incomes, innovation, and land values rise faster in big cities 📈 The critical difference between growth driven by hype… and growth backed by science 📈 How to identify “superorganism” cities where value compounds over time PLUS: We reveal why long-term investors should align their strategy with urban scaling patterns — not short-term sentiment — if they want to build long-term wealth.
