Kerr Neilson’s important message

Sometimes in your career you get massive breaks that fast forward what you’re trying to achieve. The support of legendary investor Kerr Neilson has certainly had that effect for me.

When I showed Kerr our TV show a couple of years ago, and invited him to be a part of it, he wholeheartedly supported our vision of educating people via entertainment-led learning.

Watch Kerr’s full episode of Learn from the Money Masters here. His extended masterclass is also available for free here.

With the release of our latest series, Kerr goes to a new level in explaining to our celebrity investor Blair McDonough the concept of global investing, investing in shares, the need to do your own research, and why education beats trust every time.

It’s a fascinating discussion that leaves Blair slightly starstruck. He also leaves thinking it’s time for him to read some more, and consider the world as an opportunity for him to make money outside his chosen career paths of acting and renovating properties.

Kerr took great pleasure in explaining technical concepts in both a clear and easy to understand way. For ordinary investors, the ability to talk to Kerr is not possible. Seeing annual reports and news articles about great investors is nothing like watching them teach a real person. Kerr is authentic and passionate about his craft, and that passion and enthusiasm is definitely contagious.

As this show goes to air, what gives me great joy are the questions we are getting from people via our website asking about where to learn more about investing, how to assess the right financial adviser, and how to get started on their own reinvention journeys by becoming more engaged with their financial futures.

It’s fantastic to see people embrace what owning their financial futures can do for them. I know our great industry has the potential to help millions of Australians reach their goals, and the more we use every asset we have, including high profile professional investors like Kerr Neilson, the closer we get to better outcomes for Australians.

I am more than grateful for every member of our Collective who have agreed to lend their brilliance and expertise to this incredibly important conversation. It’s a considerable investment of their time and resources. It goes without saying that without their support, this important mission would not be possible.

I will continue to update you on our progress.

All the best,
