  • Beyond the Buzzwords: Understanding Generational Research
    Nov 5 2024
    Today, we're exploring a topic that’s often discussed but frequently misunderstood: generational research. Generations—Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Gen Z—we hear these terms tossed around all the time, often accompanied by sweeping generalizations about attitudes, behaviors, and lifestyles. But how much of what we hear is accurate, and how much is just noise? How Generations Shape Our Society and Workplaces In today’s episode, we explore how different generational cohorts—Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z—are shaped by their unique historical, economic, and technological environments. Our conversation offers insights for business leaders, policymakers, employees, and anyone interested in understanding the complex interplay of generations in modern society. Generational research and its importance in understanding behaviors and reducing intergenerational conflict How formative years and significant historical periods shape long-lasting worldviews and behaviorsDifferentiation between social and cohort approaches to defining generational boundariesUse of diverse data sources by demographers to understand generational differencesHow past experiences influence present behaviors, such as the tendency to keep well-stocked pantries or packed rucksacksThe extended phase of adolescence in modern society and its implications for defining adulthoodStrategies for businesses, policymakers, and governments to leverage generational insights for better engagement with customers and staff Intergenerational conflicts in the workplace, driven by both life stage differences and inherent generational traitsThe role of media and social media in exaggerating intergenerational stereotypes and conflictsThe importance of acknowledging both the contributions and shortcomings of each generation to foster a balanced perspective By understanding these themes, listeners can gain a nuanced perspective on how generational dynamics shape our world and learn strategies to navigate and bridge the generational divide.

  • The Real Reasons Why Young Australians Are Postponing Home Ownership
    Oct 29 2024
    Today we explore why young Australians are increasingly delaying their dreams of homeownership. We've all heard about skyrocketing property prices and the challenges of securing a mortgage but, as you’ll hear, there's more to the story than just affordability. Sure property prices present a significant barrier, but we also examine lifestyle changes, such as extended periods in education and the prioritisation of experiences over material possessions, reshaping the housing market landscape. We also discuss demographic shifts, including the transition of millennials from urban rentals to suburban family homes, and highlights the rise of build-to-rent and co-living spaces. Unlocking Homeownership: Challenges for Young Australians In this conversation, we explore demographic shifts, financial hurdles, and lifestyle changes transforming the housing market landscape for millennials and beyond. Join us as we unpack the complex factors contributing to delayed homeownership and offer potential solutions to navigate these challenges. ● Soaring property costs compared to median income, now seven to eight times versus 2.6 times in the early 80s ● Lifestyle changes, including longer periods in education and prioritization of experiences over material possessions ● The search for meaning in life by the younger generations ● Higher mobility in the younger generations ● Millennials moving from urban rentals to suburban family-sized homes, increasing demand for three and four-bedroom properties ● Transformations in the rental market, including the rise of build-to-rent and co-living spaces ● Comparison of institutional investment in rental housing versus traditional "mom and dad" landlord model ● Government's critical role in addressing housing affordability and ensuring financial security in retirement ● Innovative strategies like 'rent vesting' as potential solutions for easing housing supply shortages From understanding the evolving priorities of younger generations to advocating for effective policy changes, this episode is a must-listen for those looking to navigate the complex housing landscape.

Some of our favorite quotes from the show: “So, the meaning of life, then, must come from somewhere else, and this is where the whole narrative came from. It started really at scale with the millennials, where they said hey if I don't find meaning in religion, if I don't start a family, where does meaning of life come from?” - Simon Kuestenmacher “One of the things that the younger generation seem to have is more career mobility, more flexibility, and I guess this is one of the reasons that they don't put down their roots early on because they don't know where they're going to be.” - Michael Yardney “The government post-war did a lot of property development. They own land, they don't have to pay stamp duty. They could do it at scale today, but I guess, like most things, they may not do it as efficiently as private enterprise.” - Michael Yardney PLEASE LEAVE US A REVIEW Reviews are hugely important to me because they help new people discover this podcast.

  • Using Morgan Housel’s Wisdom on Demographics and Destiny to Decode Our Future
    Oct 22 2024

    Today, we’re exploring the fascinating intersection of psychology, economics, and demographics through the lens of one of the most insightful thinkers of our time: Morgan Housel.

    Housel writes about behavioural finance and has a unique ability to distil complex ideas about human behaviour and economics into simple, powerful insights.

    Whether you're an investor, policymaker, or just someone interested in where our world is headed, this episode will give you fresh perspectives on the forces at play in our rapidly evolving demographic landscape.

    Morgan Housel on History's Financial Lessons and True Wealth

    In this episode we delve into the profound insights of Morgan Housel, exploring the intricate relationship between historical events, personal experiences, and financial behavior. Our conversation allows listeners to rethink their approach to wealth and long-term financial planning.

    • The intersection of psychology, economics, and demographics in shaping financial behavior
    • The way your perspective colors how you think the world works
    • The significant impact of historical events like the World Wars and the Great Depression on generational attitudes toward money
    • The irrational nature of financial decisions and the importance of considering broader perspectives
    • The complexities of using historical data to predict future economic and market trends
    • Recognizing the limitations of traditional predictive models in the face of unprecedented events
    • The role of human nature and behavioral finance in economic forecasting and long-term planning
    • The difficulty of long-term planning in the face of changing goals and circumstances
    • Philosophies like Buddhism that emphasize happiness beyond material possessions
    • The paradox of wealth as a means to impress others versus achieving personal satisfaction
    • The true essence of wealth, including health, love, personal growth, and community contribution
    • The different paces of progress and setbacks

    By examining these themes through Morgan Housel's lens, we encourage listeners to challenge conventional wisdom and adopt a multifaceted approach to financial decision-making.

    Join us as we uncover how understanding history, human behaviour, and broader perspectives can lead to smarter financial choices and a more balanced view of wealth.

    Some of our favourite quotes from the show:

    “But if you dig deeper, you understand that nobody's crazy. It's just based on what their experiences have been.” - Michael Yardney

    “We need to be aware that there are these biases in us and that we just intuitively throw them out there and again. Ideally, you're constantly doing a bit of self-work.” - Simon Kuestenmacher

    “And to put the positive spin on it, take any kind of setback that comes. Take this as an opportunity to reboot, to reset and life's journey is full of resets.” - Simon Kuestenmacher
