ABOUT THIS EPISODE
My dad once said no to a $1 dipping sauce. It wasn't about the dollar.
Growing up, money decided everything: what we ate, where we went, what we did on the weekend. By 13, I'd decided to find a way to make it without a job. It started with a Pokémon Tazo on eBay, listed in my mum's name.
Last episode was where we ended up. This one goes back to where it all began: before the businesses, before investing, before I'd even finished school.
In this episode:
- Why a $1 dipping sauce explains how most families think about money
- Selling Pokémon Tazos on eBay at 13
- The $20 eBook that taught me to import products from China
- A back room full of boxes, and what my parents actually thought
- What a $10,000 sales week at 16 really put in my pocket
- Discovering passive income, affiliate marketing and SEO at 17
- The $5,000 mistake I kept secret from my parents
- The one piece of advice for anyone starting from zero
Next episode: the tiny apartment. A one-bedroom in Melbourne's CBD with a mini fridge, a two-seater couch and no TV, where we built the money habits we still run on today.

We signed a one-year lease on the wrong apartment. Smaller, worse, not the one we inspected. We were 22 and 20, too scared to go back to the agent, so we moved in anyway.
No car. No TV. No furniture we owned. Half-price sandwiches for dinner and two laptops on a two-seater couch.
