Debt to $70M E-Commerce & Bitcoin Freedom with Matt Fraser

This week, I sit down with one of the most grounded, humble men I’ve ever met, Matt Fraser - entrepreneur, e-commerce success story, and founder of The Crypto Collective.

Matt’s journey reads like a movie: from being $1M in debt, driving Uber at night to keep his Hungry Jack’s franchise alive… to scaling a medical product to $70 million in global e-commerce sales, paying off every cent, and then selling everything to go all-in on Bitcoin.

We talk about resilience, marriage, faith, failure, and how Matt and his wife Paula built an empire from nothing - together. This episode is a masterclass in grit, conviction, and sovereignty: how to lose it all, rebuild, and then bet big on freedom.

“We had something, we lost everything, and we still would’ve been okay — because we had each other.” — Matt Fraser

What You’ll Learn

• How Matt went from a broke Hungry Jack’s owner to $70M in e-commerce sales.

• Why documenting his Amazon journey changed his life.

• The sliding-door moment that made him an overnight success (after 10 years of struggle).

Start Where You Are: Money, Mindset & Real-Life Provision with Ryan Petricevich

This week I share the mic with my favourite human - Mr. Boss Man himself, Ryan Petricevich. After a run of heavy, high-level money episodes, we drop into a real-world convo about providing, saving, and building a life from the ground up with kids, a normal job, and zero fluff.

We talk early parenthood (three kids by 24), paying off a mortgage, setting up trust funds, and the mindset that keeps you moving forward when life is… life-ing. It’s practical, honest, and full of the kind of steady wisdom most of us actually need.

What we cover

• The “average Aussie” game plan: how Ryan saved, provided, and still got ahead

• $10 a week → long-term wealth: set-and-forget saving, then upgrading to simple index investing

• Live within your means (for real): resisting the pressure to “look rich”

• Kids + money: why we’ll open index funds (not savings accounts) for future kids

• Inflation 101: why cash alone loses power and what to do instead

• Sacrifice & seasons: giving up rugby to provide, and how chosen sacrifice compounds

• Partnership polarity: how we make big decisions (strategy + vulnerability > nagging)

• Risk sanity checks: diversify, invest only what you can afford to lose, sleep-at-night rule

Quick takeaways

• Start now, with what you have. $10/week beats $0/week—consistency compounds.

• Automate it. Set-and-forget is your best friend if life is busy.

• Index funds > idle cash for long-term goals (inflation is a tax on stillness).

• Don’t buy to impress. Live within your means; redirect flex money into assets.

• Couples: begin with the end in mind. Share the vision, then co-create the plan.

• If you’re losing sleep, you’re over-leveraged. Dial risk down until you aren’t.

As always - stay wild. 

My $30,000 lesson in loss (& it's not what you might think).

Solo mic today, fam. I walk you through a real-time lesson from this morning: $30k gone from one of our leveraged trades. No tears, no blame, just perspective and process. This episode isn’t about charts; it’s about psychology: risk appetite, sovereignty, responsibility… and why the most valuable asset you’ll ever own isn’t money - it’s time.

 

I break down exactly what happened, the mindset that kept us calm, the mistakes to avoid, and the three rules I live by for any investment (including relationships, health, and work).

 

Not financial advice - just lived experience and frameworks you can apply.

 

What You’ll Learn - The Event: A near “black swan” move that liquidated positions across the market (and ours). - Mindset Over Mayhem: How we stayed calm and decided our next move within minutes.

The 3 Rules of Investing (my way): - Never invest more than you’re willing (and able) to lose. - Do your own research & understand the mechanism (especially with leverage). - Think long-term, even when short-term pain hits. - Risk ≠ Reckless: Differentiating diversified, high-risk slices from core holds (shares, BTC, ETH).

 

Perspective Reset: The losses that truly hurt vs. the ones that don’t—and why.

The Ultimate Asset: Why time triggers me more than money and how to invest it wisely.

 

Resources & Next Steps - Re-listen and write your 3 personal rules for money, health, relationships, and work. - Audit your positions: Would losing this wreck me? If yes, resize. - If you’re new: start with micro-investing / DCA, no leverage.

Where & Why I'm Leaving Australia

This week it’s just you and me. No guests. No fluff. Just a straight-up solo episode where I unpack the decisions I’ve already made about my life, money, and freedom and why I’m sharing them with you.

We tie together everything the recent guest experts have been teaching (property, shares, crypto, economic cycles) and zoom out: the world feels shaky, but underneath the headlines you still have your one wild, precious life. What will you do with it?

I share my personal values (freedom + health), how they’ve guided every hard choice since I was 22, why Ryan and I are planning to move overseas, and how I’ve built wealth without property by staying true to my asset classes. This is about conviction, sovereignty, and reminding you that nobody is coming to save you - but you can always save yourself.

---

What You’ll Learn

• Why I stopped chasing a life that looks good for others and started living for me.

• “48 summers left”: the life-span exercise that will light a fire under you.

• Death and taxes: the only guarantees and how to plan around them.

• Values before assets: how freedom + health guided every decision (investing, moving, timing children).

• My investing path (shares, crypto, AI portfolios) and why I never chose property.

• Jurisdictional competition: what it is and why I’m exploring Dubai and other countries.

• How to start investing even if you’re broke (Raiz, micro-investing, side income).

• The real question: what are you doing with your one wild, precious life?

Rethink Wealth: Shares, Cash Flow, Freedom

This week Anna flips the mic from “pussy power” to “penis power” and finally brings long-time friend and wealth strategist Lloyd J. Ross into the Anything Goes studio.

Lloyd has been instrumental in Anna’s own journey from rebuilding after domestic violence to taking radical responsibility for her finances and opening her first share portfolio. Together they dive into why investing is no longer a luxury but a necessity in Australia, how Lloyd built his wealth outside of property, and why understanding asset classes matters now more than ever.

They cover shares vs. property, inflation and energy prices, immigration, leadership (or lack thereof), why banks and policies are making life harder for the next generation, and how to build optionality and passive income so you can pursue what you actually love. This is an unfiltered, practical conversation about money, values, and freedom.

---

What You’ll Learn

• Why Anna called Lloyd from an Airbnb in Perth at rock bottom — and what he told her.

• How to start investing even if you’ve lost everything.

• The hidden cost of “house poor” and why property is no longer the only asset class.

• How shares really work (beyond tickers and charts) and why they’re just business ownership.

• Inflation, energy, immigration and the policy decisions that are eroding your back pocket.

• Why optionality is the most underrated financial asset.

• How to build wealth without compromising your lifestyle or values.

Your Body Is the First Asset: Fertility, Hormones & Energetic Detox with Dee Zibara

Anna sits down with hormonal & fertility specialist Dee Zibara for a deeply practical, no-BS chat about why your health is the #1 asset class. They cover pre-conception prep (even if you’re not trying yet), the 5-month protocol Anna & Ryan just started, cycle-syncing made simple, coffee enemas (yep), and the emotional work that actually moves the needle.

Why listen

• You’ll learn how to build a clear, resilient “vessel” so you can hold more - money, business, family, peace.

• This episode is not just for baby-makers. It’s for anyone wanting better hormones, energy, digestion, and decision-making.

---

Quick takeaways

• Health is the core asset. Everything compounds from there - cashflow, career, relationships, sex drive, creativity.

• Cycle-syncing meal plans. Dee simplifies to two halves of the cycle for food & training and has partners follow it for gut diversity + empathy.

• Detox the right way. Sequence matters: supplements + enemas act like a “clean-up crew” so tissues can release stored toxins safely.

• Issues in the tissues. Physical detox can surface old patterns; clearing them is part of pre-parenthood (and high performance).

• PCOS & endo lenses. Dee shares patterns she sees (father/mother-wound dynamics) and why self-advocacy in medical settings matters.

• Feminine seasoning. Pre-conception is a training ground for surrender, slowing down, cooking at home, and creating space - skills parenthood will demand.

• Model it. Kids learn by watching, not hearing. Heal yourself in public (age-appropriate) and they’ll copy your regulation.

Beat Inflation: Property, Passive Income & Playing the Long Game with Olivia Ward

Anna sits down with Australia’s #1 property investment coach Olivia Ward for a fast, fiery masterclass on building wealth in a world of money printing and rising costs. If you’ve wondered why property keeps winning, how debt can become less scary with inflation, and what “$1M net worth = $50–70k passive income” actually means in real life, this one’s your playbook.

What we cover

• Why property? The real reason real estate benefits when governments print money and how rents & prices move.

• Inflation 101 (plain-English): Understanding the “hurdle rate” you must beat just to avoid getting poorer.

• Debt vs. inflation: When leverage can work for you (and where it can’t).

• The $1M rule of thumb: Why $1M in net assets often maps to $50–70k/yr passive income.

• Business, Property, Bitcoin: Olivia’s top 3 wealth engines and how to think about each.

• Rentvesting & equity: The case for not paying off your home first; using equity to buy investment properties.

• Taxes & policy shifts: Land tax, CGT chatter, stimulus cycles and how to think strategically, not emotionally.

• Crash talk & cycles: Macro vs. micro and why suburbs are their own markets and what 2026–27 could look like.

• Anti-fragility: Your first asset is you - skills, mindset, and cash buffers to ride the storms.

• Starting from scratch: Free ways to learn, build confidence, and pick your primary asset class.

Freedom, Fertility, and Finance: Anna’s Unfiltered Q&A

This week Anna flies solo and answers your most-asked questions on IVF prep, moving overseas for freedom and tax strategy, money, business, and step-mum life. She shares the five-month pre-IVF protocol she and Ryan just started, why they’re exploring becoming non-tax residents of Australia (and what that actually involves), how she thinks about investing vs. lifestyle, what to look for in a proactive accountant, and the real talk of being a step-parent with boundaries and a big heart.

If this helped, tap Follow on Spotify or Apple and leave a quick review—it’s the currency that brings bigger guests and bigger conversations.

Key Takeaways

• IVF Prep > rush: Anna and Ryan are doing a 5-month pre-IVF protocol (booze/gluten/dairy-free focus, whole foods, targeted supplements, detox phases incl. coffee enemas/parasite cleanse, training) to optimise egg/sperm quality before any collection/transfer.

• Timeline: Consult mid-September; aiming for first IVF/IUI/ICSI steps January post-protocol.

• Move logic: Exploring non-tax residency of Australia and UAE residency to align with values (sovereignty, free speech, low interference) and long-term wealth strategy.

• Dubai case: 0% personal income & CGT; 9% corporate; 5% VAT. Structures would shift accordingly; property/golden-visa or creator-visa routes considered.

• Residency nuts & bolts: To be non-resident you need to break ties (no primary home, limited days in AU, etc.). From 2026, AU’s day test moves from 183 to 45 days—plan travel accordingly.

• Investing philosophy: “Know your asset, own your asset.” Anna prefers crypto & shares for now; property later in Dubai. Context beats copying someone else’s win.

• Accountants: Choose proactive, strategic partners (regular touchpoints, they chase you).

• Step-mom truth: The hardest part has been disrespect from the ex, handled with boundaries and a focus on love, safety, and neutrality for the kids.

• Support matters: Following/subscribing & reviews directly help secure high-value guests.

Women, Money & the Macro: The No-Panic Plan for 2026

We pick up right where Part 1 ended - tops changed, mics back on - and dive into Coco’s speciality: the economic cycle (aka the real estate cycle) and what it actually means for your money, career and decisions over the next few years.

Coco breaks down the ~18.6-year cycle (≈ 14 years up + 4–5 years down), why we’re in the late-stage “winner’s curse” now, and why mid-cycle slowdowns (think 2020) are the feather-tap before the final sprint and reset. We talk cash, debt, AI, jobs, Australia’s unique quirks (hello SE QLD & the Olympics), and the unsexy moves that keep you safe and set you up to pounce when opportunities flood the market.

“Don’t freeze. Stack cash. Reduce fragile debt. Increase income. Then you can breathe and make better decisions.” — Coco

What you’ll learn

• Economic Cycle 101: The 18.6-year rhythm; why history rhymes; how to spot where we are.

• Where we are now: Late bull run/winner’s curse—everything looks easy, credit loosens, headlines get grand (“biggest tower ever!”), and cranes fill the skyline.

• Timing clues: US usually rolls first, then UK/EU, Australia lags 12–24 months. Coco is eyeing late 2026 as a key turning point based on historical patterns.

• Mid-cycle slowdowns: Why 2020 fit the textbook “feather tap” before the final run-up.

• Four cycles converging: Why the next reset could feel sharper—and how preparation beats panic.

• Australia specifics: Why SE QLD has some insulation via the Olympics build-out, but the macro still bites.

• Cash-flow over ego: Why Coco still loves “boring” cash-flow businesses (cleaning, childcare) and how she thinks about building vs waiting on quotes to normalize.

• Income now > vibes later: Real talk on picking up work (cleaning, trades, regional moves) and why there’s no shame in a job—it’s a bridge to safety and opportunity.

• Human Design as a tool, not dogma: Surround yourself with detail brains if you’re not one; protect your decisions with process.

• Mindset reframes: Stop thinking “million”—start thinking decamillion targets in today’s dollars.

Practical playbook (from the convo)

• Stack cash: Aim for 6 months+ living expenses (more if you can). Calm nervous system = smart decisions.

• Reduce fragile debt: Keep only debt that’s tied to robust income streams you’ve actively stress-tested.

• Increase income now: Side work, regional roles, trades, cleaning - cash up while jobs are abundant.

• Read the street: Cranes everywhere + loosening credit = late cycle. Treat “everyone’s winning” as a caution signal.

• Investing posture: Context matters. Buying just because someone else “made $300k on paper” is not a strategy.

• Community > secrecy: Share numbers with safe friends. We learn in community; opportunities travel through networks.

Building, Breaking & Becoming with Coco

This week I sit down with my brilliant friend Coco, a woman who has built empires, lost it all, rebuilt again, and continues to rise with more fire, intuition, and resilience than ever before.

We cover everything: business, wealth, loss, intuition, human design, motherhood, and the messy, magical path of becoming. Coco’s story is raw, wild, and real and the lessons inside it are gold for any woman ready to play a bigger game.

In This Episode:

• How Coco built her first property portfolio by 22 and then lost it all at 27

• Rebuilding into a $60 million development business (and the moment she walked away)

• The undoing: betrayal, burnout, bankruptcy scares, and how it became her becoming

• Why she bought a commercial cleaning company for cashflow and grew it to 150+ staff

• How motherhood cracked her open and inspired her move into childcare development

• The biggest myths about Australian property and why she’s out of residential real estate

• The lessons she learned about intuition, human design, and building business her way

• Why your 40s are not too late — they’re just the rehearsal for your greatest chapter

• Taking radical responsibility, listening to your inner knowing, and leading with feminine power

The Vibe:
This conversation is for the woman who’s been knocked down, who’s questioning if she can keep going, and who knows she’s destined for more. Coco shows us that intuition will always lead you home and that building wealth and legacy isn’t linear, but it is always possible.
