The Property Couch
Each week, Bryce Holdaway and Ben Kingsley bring their conversational style to The Property Couch, where they educate their community on the fundamentals of property, finance, and money management. They delve into the latest industry data, trends, and best practices, making complex concepts understandable and engaging.
Since its launch in February 2015, The Property Couch has become Australia’s premier property investing podcast. Bryce and Ben draw on over 25 years of personal investing experience and extensive work with thousands of clients through Empower Wealth, their multi-award-winning national property and wealth advisory firm.
With a consistent ranking in the Top 5 of the Investing Category charts and an impressive 4.8-star rating from more than 2,300 reviews on Apple Podcasts, The Property Couch is essential for anyone serious about building a passive income through property investing.
As best-selling authors of two books, Bryce and Ben don’t hold back in sharing their deep knowledge, personal experiences, and lessons learned including both their successes and their mistakes. Known for their fun banter, they make learning about these topics enjoyable and insightful.
But the podcast isn’t just about Bryce and Ben. They love learning from others too, and regularly bring in top minds from Australia and around the world to discuss topics like property, economics, lending, money management, investing mindsets, high performance, and habit and behaviour building.
Their true mission? To help you achieve financial peace and live your ‘Lifestyle By Design.’ They’re so dedicated to your success that they’ve even developed Moorr, a free money management app designed to help you set and achieve your goals, manage your finances, oversee property investments, and track wealth creation over time.
As Ben often says when wrapping up each episode, “Knowledge is empowering, but ONLY if you act on it.”
