    Retire with purpose with Kim & Prue Watty

    Most people spend decades planning financially for retirement. But what about everything else? The routines that shape your days. The sense of purpose that comes from your work. The connections, structure and identity you've built over a lifetime. In this episode of Money & a Good Life, we sit down with Prue and Dr Kim Watty, co-founders of The Main Act, to explore what happens when people retire without thinking about what comes next. Drawing on both personal experience and years of research, they share why creating a fulfilling retirement requires more than financial preparation, and how purpose, connection and community can play just as important a role. We talk about: Why retirement can be more challenging than many people expect.The loss of structure, identity and purpose that often comes with leaving work.Why financial preparedness is only one part of a successful retirement.The importance of thinking about what you want your next chapter to look like.The unique transitions many women experience throughout life and retirement.Why community, creativity, contribution and connection matter so much.How to move from simply retiring from something to retiring towards something.Whether retirement is right around the corner or still years away, this conversation is a reminder that a good retirement isn't just about having enough money. It's also about creating a life you're excited to wake up to. Here's to your Good Life. And thanks for listening.

    The real value of financial advice with Thabojan Rasiah

    Most people think financial advice is about investments, returns and building wealth. While those things matter, they're often only part of the story. Some of the biggest benefits of advice come from having clarity, confidence and a plan that supports the life you want to live. In this episode, we sit down with Thabojan Rasiah to explore the real value of financial advice and why money is often just the vehicle, not the destination. From defining what matters most to making major life decisions with confidence, it's about helping people use money in a way that supports the life they want to live. We talk about: The difference between the financial and non-financial value of advice.Why so many people are drifting financially without a clear sense of where they're heading.How long-term cash flow modelling helps people make big life decisions with confidence.The role values and purpose play in financial planning.Why not all debt is bad, and when it can be a useful tool.How to find an adviser you can genuinely trust.What Thabojan has learned from helping hundreds of people navigate life's biggest decisions.Whether you're working towards a specific goal or simply trying to make smarter decisions with your money, this episode is a reminder that good financial planning starts with understanding what matters most to you.

    Why estate planning matters more than you think with Susan Bonnici

    Estate planning is one of those things we all know we should do… but many of us keep putting it off. The problem? When estate planning goes wrong, the consequences can be deeply personal. Families stop speaking. Loved ones are left to make difficult decisions without guidance. Vulnerable people can be left unprotected. And disputes that could have been avoided end up costing families emotionally and financially. In this episode of Money and a Good Life, we sit down with Susan Bonnici, Principal Estate Planning Lawyer at Aitken Partners, to unpack what estate planning really involves — and why it's about so much more than simply deciding who gets what. Susan has spent her entire legal career helping families navigate everything from straightforward Wills to highly complex estate planning arrangements. As both a lawyer and mother of a child with a disability, she's seen firsthand the importance of planning ahead, particularly for families caring for vulnerable loved ones. We explore the difference between estate and non-estate assets, why Wills are increasingly being challenged, and the practical steps families can take now to reduce conflict and create certainty for the people they care about most. This conversation is a timely reminder that estate planning isn't really about death — it's about protecting the people you love.  In this episode, we cover: Why estate planning is about much more than "who gets what" The role family dynamics play in estate planning Protecting vulnerable family members and children with disabilities The difference between estate and non-estate assets Common mistakes people make with Wills and superannuation Why more Wills are being contested — and how to reduce the risk Proposed changes to trust taxation and what they may mean Key terms every adult should understand, including probate and powers of attorney The importance of planning before a crisis occursHere's to your Good Life.

    Goals, plans and everything in between with Mike Larkan

    We all like to think life follows a bit of a plan. You build something over time. You find your rhythm. You get comfortable with where things are heading. And then, sometimes, life shifts. Not always in a dramatic way, but enough to make you rethink what comes next.  In this episode, Mike Larkan shares the story behind a life that’s been anything but linear. From decades in television to building something new, his experience is less about a single turning point and more about how everything adds up over time.  We talk about: How short-term decisions shape the bigger pictureThe balance between planning ahead and living in the momentWhat happens when your identity is tied to your workHow major life events can shift your perspectiveWhat “enough” looks like  and how that can change over timeWhy some of the most important decisions aren’t purely financialIt’s a conversation about perspective, adaptability and the long game, not just in money, but in life.

    What happens when you hire a private investigator with Richard James

    When you think of a private investigator, you probably picture stakeouts, disguises and scenes straight out of a crime drama. The reality is far less glamorous, and far more interesting. In this episode of Money and a Good Life, we sit down with Richard James, Director and Principal Investigator of RIVICA Investigations & Covert Solutions. With more than 30 years of experience across UK law enforcement, Australian anti-corruption agencies and private investigations, Richard has seen it all. We explore what private investigators actually do, when people seek their help, and how evidence is gathered legally and ethically. Richard shares insights into everything from workplace fraud and surveillance to digital privacy, counter-surveillance and the realities of modern investigations. Along the way, we discuss what happens when evidence is obtained unlawfully, the emotional challenges clients face when seeking answers, and what decades of investigating human behaviour has taught Richard about trust. Whether you're curious about the profession, concerned about privacy, or simply fascinated by human nature, this conversation offers a rare glimpse into a world most of us only see on television.  In this episode, we cover: What private investigators really do (and what TV gets wrong) The types of cases that lead people to hire an investigator Why ethics and legality are critical in investigations Workers' compensation fraud and workplace investigations Digital privacy, mobile phones and encrypted messaging apps Counter-surveillance and signs someone may be monitoring you What makes a great investigator Lessons about trust, deception and human behaviour What to do if you suspect something isn't right The realities and costs of hiring a private investigatorHere's to your Good Life.

    Retirement planning beyond the numbers with Brad Fox

    For most people, the one thing they worry about in retirement is money. Have I saved enough? Can I afford to stop working? When can I access my super? But what if that's the wrong place to start? In this episode of Money & a Good Life, Steph and Ryan sit down with Brad Fox Managing Director of Smart Brave Consulting, Chairman of Tribeca Financial, and one of the most respected voices in Australia's financial services industry to rethink what retirement actually means. Brad believes retirement is a phase of life that raises big questions about identity, purpose, time, and meaning. And while the money matters, the mindset matters more. What we talk about: What retirement is actually about beyond "the moment you stop working"Why starting with a narrow financial definition is limiting and sometimes harmfulHow retirement looks wildly different depending on the personWhy there's no single "right" version of retirementWhat separates people who thrive in later life from those who struggleOdyssey Planning—a tool developed at Stanford for approaching retirementWhy Odyssey Planning is so powerful for this life transitionThe process of imagining three different five-year futuresWhy prototyping your retirement is better than locking into one big irreversible decisionWhy engaging imagination is an important and often missing part of retirement planningFactors beyond finances that create a "good" retirementWhy longevity and happiness aren't just about moneyAutonomy, contribution, and growth as major drivers of wellbeingHow people keep learning and growing once their career stops structuring their livesIf you've been thinking about retirement purely through a financial lens, this conversation will challenge you to think bigger about purpose, identity, and what you actually want the next chapter to look like.
