Is equity the most underused wealth-building tool? Owen Rask believes it is—and we’re missing out by not tapping into it. In this episode, we sit down with Owen from the Rask Group to explore how equity, particularly in property, can be a game-changer for growing your wealth. From property investment to ETFs and self-managed super funds (SMSFs), Owen breaks down how leveraging equity can open up opportunities you may not have considered.

We also get into financial literacy in Australia, and Owen has some sharp insights. While more people are paying attention to their finances, many are still making risky decisions due to a lack of understanding. Owen highlights the importance of asking the right questions and getting proper advice to avoid costly mistakes.

Curious about SMSFs? Owen unpacks the risks and rewards of SMSF property investing and explains why it’s crucial to diversify. He also shares why you need to be cautious about SMSF lending schemes and one-stop-shop setups that might not always have your best interests at heart.

As we look ahead, Owen talks about how AI could reshape financial advice and offers practical tips on how to protect yourself from scams in an increasingly digital world. This episode is packed with actionable insights that can help you take control of your financial future. Don’t miss it!
