    Why the Traditional Broking Model Won't Be Enough

    The future of broking isn't coming. It's already here. In Episode 3 of FBAA Unscripted, Peter White AM and Joanna James sit down with Sebastian Watkins, CEO of Lendi Group, for one of the most thought-provoking conversations we've had. This isn't another conversation about AI. It's about what brokers need to become. Technology is changing how loans are written. Customer expectations are changing just as quickly. And the brokers who adapt will create an advantage that's difficult to catch. Sebastian shares the lessons behind building one of Australia's fastest-growing finance businesses—from a three-person startup to almost 3,000 people—and explains why the next generation of brokers won't simply write loans. They'll solve problems. In this episode: ✅ Why AI is changing far more than administration ✅ Why customer experience is becoming your biggest competitive advantage ✅ How technology can create deeper client relationships—not replace them ✅ Why the future belongs to brokers who solve more problems, not sell more products ✅ What customers will expect over the next five years ✅ Why the gap between industry leaders and everyone else is about to widen If you're serious about building a broking business that stays relevant over the next decade, this conversation is essential listening. GUEST: SEBASTIAN WATKINS Sebastian Watkins is Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Lendi Group, the Australian fintech platform behind leading property and home loan brands Aussie and Lendi. He is focused on building a fairer, more seamless property system for Australians by bringing together search, buying, financing and ownership into a single integrated experience. He remains closely connected to the customer and broker experience, holding an active mortgage broking licence and maintaining a hands-on understanding of the market.

    Unscripted Episode 2: The Next 90 Days: Inflation, Uncertainty & What Brokers Need to Watch

    What’s really happening in the economy right now — and what does it mean for brokers? In Episode 2 of Unscripted, we sit down with economist Warren Hogan to unpack the reality behind rising inflation, global conflict, and the growing uncertainty shaping Australia’s economic future. Because here’s the truth: The economy wasn’t stable before the war — and this shock is exposing what was already breaking. This is not a surface-level conversation. It’s a grounded, real-world look at: Why inflation is still a major problemWhat the war in the Middle East actually means for the economyWhy confidence is falling — but spending hasn’t yetThe risk of a delayed economic correctionWhat brokers need to be watching over the next 90 daysWhere the real risks sit (and where they don’t) “We had an economy that was already overheating… this shock couldn’t have come at a worse time.” For brokers, this is about more than interest rates — it’s about understanding the environment your clients are operating in. GUEST: Warren Hogan is the Founder, Managing Director and Principal Forecaster at EQ Economics, and one of Australia’s most experienced business economists. With over three decades in the field, Warren has built his reputation on applying economic fundamentals to real-world financial outcomes. He spent more than 20 years in banking and financial markets, including 11 years as Chief Economist at ANZ, working at the front line of global bond and currency markets and advising major investors, traders and central banks. His approach is grounded in data, shaped by real market pressure, and driven by a deep understanding of how psychology influences economic outcomes.

    Unscripted Episode 1: Regulation, Risk & Reality – What Brokers Need to Know for 2026

    Unscripted Episode 1: Regulation, Risk & Reality – What Brokers Need to Know for 2026 Welcome to the very first episode of Unscripted — Finance Without the Filter. In this launch episode, Peter White AM and Joanna James sit down with former ASIC senior enforcement leader turned compliance expert, David Carson, for a raw and honest conversation about what’s really coming for brokers in 2026. From Best Interest Duty audits and private credit scrutiny… to AFCA quicksand, the Compensation Scheme of Last Resort, and the uncomfortable truth about regulatory overreach — nothing is off the table. David was there when RG209 was written. He understands the regulator from the inside. And in this episode, he doesn’t sugarcoat what brokers need to prepare for. They explore: Whether ASIC audits target the law — or their own guidance What actually triggers a knock on the door The growing risk around IDR reporting and complaint handling Why AFCA can feel like “quicksand” — and what brokers can do How the CSLR levy explosion affects the industry Whether regulators are overreaching And how AI could protect brokers — or expose them If you’re a broker, licensee, aggregator, or industry leader, this episode is essential listening. Because regulation isn’t slowing down. AI isn’t slowing down. And the only way forward is to understand both. Welcome to Unscripted. 10 episodes per year. Zero fluff. 100% real.
