If you’ve ever thought…

“I’d love to get into real estate, but I have no idea what I’m doing,” 

then this episode is for you. 

Leanne Portman was in the same boat. She’s a busy project manager, juggling life, family, and work—and the idea of investing felt like a huge leap.

In this episode, Leanne opens up about how she went from having zero investment experience to building a 5-property portfolio, including a Townsville property that’s already grown by over 23%. 

She also talks about how Dashdot’s research and no-pressure consultations helped her and her husband take the plunge and haven’t looked back.

If you’re looking for a relatable, real-world story about how to grow your wealth without the stress, this one’s for you. 

You’ll walk away feeling inspired—and maybe with a few ideas of your own to get started.

About the Guests:
Terry is all about making money meaningful. He’s got a talent for breaking down big financial ideas into simple, practical steps that help people feel confident and committed to learning.

His expertise comes from two key areas. First, as a performance coach, he worked with some of Australia’s top sports teams and athletes, where he learned how to turn big dreams into concrete plans and a few powerful habits. Then, after earning his MBA and moving into management consulting, he gained the skills to create adult learning programs that make financial knowledge valuable and accessible.

In 2019, Terry teamed up with Ryan Monaghan, his co-founder, to combine their strengths and create a unique financial education platform designed especially for young professionals. Together, they’re making it easier for people to take charge of their finances.

While he’s away, his properties will keep growing in value on their own. 

So how did he do it?

How did he gain financial freedom through property investing… without stressing over every market movement?

How a Traveller’s Property Portfolio Fuels a Six-Month Adventure Across Africa | #281

Analysis paralysis is real.

Many investors dive into the property market with high hopes but find themselves unable to make a move.

That’s why in this episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast, we’re chatting with David Villaume to help you get rid of analysis paralysis. David is one of our senior property advisors who’s got extensive experience helping clients navigate the complex — and sometimes intimidating — world of real estate.

His hands-on approach takes the anxiety out of making that first step into building a thriving investment portfolio.

So if you’re ready to gain some valuable insights into how to overcome your fears, set achievable goals, and build a successful property portfolio, this episode is for you!
