How to get rich in Australia: no fluff, just strategy
In this tongue-in-cheek solo episode of The Australian Finance Podcast, your host Owen Rask breaks down how to build wealth in Australia — the right way. Forget get-rich-quick schemes. Owen shares his personal philosophy and five practical steps to reach your first $100k fast, then explains how to turn that into a million dollars (and beyond).
He draws inspiration from Charlie Munger, Queenie Tan, and the concept of the “cashflow quadrant” to help listeners structure their financial journey through saving, side hustles, smart property strategy, and good investing habits.
