569 | Everyone’s an Expert Until the Tide Goes Out: What 44 Years of Data Reveals!

October 23, 2025 • Bryce Holdaway & Ben Kingsley

In this week’s special episode, Bryce & Ben “compare the pair”: not with jingles or gimmicks, but with hard data and one clear winner. 📊

Using 44 years of property performance, they uncover why Brisbane’s steady economic engine outperforms Townsville’s volatile cycle, and what it means for investors tempted by short-term wins.

From super tax changes and trust reforms to Ponzi-like buyer activity, the boys reveal what happens “when the tide goes out”...

And who’s left swimming naked. Tune in now!
