How disruptive tech is creating social solutions

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull’s 2017 Federal Budget was startling not for its dollar distribution, but a blatant call to the private sector to step up. It was a stark acknowledgement that if we want things to change, we have to look not to our politicians, but ourselves for change. For example in property, where we are seeing so much entrenched disadvantage and worsening affordability, there is ample room to shake up the status quo. RealEstateTube.com is an example of a business acting as a social enterprise and service, via founder and…

A Soul Cycle class is a crash course in startups

Let them eat brunch

I have come to the conclusion I will rent forever, but bring me poached eggs, not pity – I’m good. Do you know which expression turns me into ‘old man shaking fist at cloud’ most rapidly? “Just buy an investment property, get your foot in the door” Maybe I don’t want to jam my impoverished foot into “the door” for the sake of overextending myself financially to secure a depressing apartment for the imaginary tenants who will miraculously want to live in aforementioned dump. And for the love of all…

The other side of the housing affordability crisis

At first glance, the rows of tents look quaint, they conjure images of early settlers’ life in a new country – but there is nothing nostalgic or poetic about being homeless. A tent isn’t good enough for a person, and it’s certainly not good enough for a family. For too many people, though, a tent is home. In the middle of one of the most affluent pockets of the world, I found this little tent village, and I learned about the people inside. Oliver doesn’t have a surname. He doesn’t have a lot…

House sharing is no longer “just for students”

There used to be a perception that having flatmates was reserved for teens and twenty-something students. Basically, those who don’t have enough money to rent alone or buy a place. But what if we start seeing house sharing as an opportunity, rather than a last resort? Housing affordability is a headline issue in major cities all over the world, for good reason.Along Australia’s eastern seaboard, the median house price is hovering around the million-dollar mark, rent rates are skyrocketing and finding shelter is increasingly competitive.  Average salaries have not risen…
