OM DENNE EPISODE
Most Aussies know Hayden from MasterChef. But away from the cameras, he's gone from growing up with a fear of debt to building businesses, backing founders and investing in property.
In this episode, Hayden joins Jess to share how that transformation happened—from working at Woolworths as a teenager to discovering investing later than he wishes he had. He also explains why he's already started an ETF portfolio for his five-week-old daughter, Rosie, determined to give her the investing head start he never had.
Talk about getting started early... time in the market, right? 😉
