🎧 Episode Summary:

In this raw and thought-provoking chat, Lionel and Matt sit down with Lionel’s brother-in-law, John Paul Saab—better known as JP—founder of ID Fitouts. From humble beginnings and first jobs to building a thriving fitout business, JP shares the real story behind his entrepreneurial journey, including the wins, the painful losses, and the lessons only experience can teach.

JP opens up about his philosophy on success, the three pillars he lives by, and why—despite being a successful business owner—he's never been a fan of superannuation. In classic Supermen style, Matt and Lionel challenge that mindset with a playful, Taco-ad-style twist... “Why not both?”

This episode is packed with insights for business owners, investors, and anyone trying to make sense of money, mindset, and meaning. You’ll hear about the fast-paced world of commercial fitouts, how JP recharges, and his no-nonsense advice for the next generation of investors.

💡 A must-listen for anyone who’s ever built something from the ground up, questioned the system, or searched for balance in a high-pressure world.

Australia’s farmers are facing a perfect storm—rising costs, labour shortages, and the challenge of attracting the next generation to the land.

In this episode of the Supermen Podcast, Lionel, Matthew, and special guest Jack Creswell—host of the Farms Advice Podcast—dive deep into the intersection of farming and finance.

Jack shares his first-hand experience growing up on a sheep station, his transition to intensive farming, and the innovative strategies farmers are using to stay ahead. The conversation covers everything from land values and economies of scale to managing farm cash flow, superannuation for farmers, and the complexities of tax planning. They also explore the untapped potential of carbon credits and whether they could be a financial lifeline for Australian agriculture.

But the real question remains—how do we inspire the next generation to take up the challenge of farming? Jack, Lionel, and Matthew discuss the importance of better living conditions, financial planning, and embracing innovation—not just in technology, but in smarter business and investment strategies.

This is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of Australian farming, the financial challenges of rural businesses, and how the next wave of farmers can build a more sustainable and profitable industry.

In this episode of the Supermen Podcast, Lionel and Matthew sit down with former NRL player Nathan Stapleton to explore his remarkable life story. Growing up in a small town in the northern tablelands, Nathan followed his passion for rugby league, rising to play for the Cronulla Sharks and later the London Broncos.

The conversation also delves into the financial side of Nathan's journey, from the high-pressure nature of professional sports to navigating rugby insurance and transitioning to his current employment with a smart spending rewards platform - 2Ezi. Nathan’s story is a testament to resilience and reinvention, and his role as an upcoming keynote speaker at a Mental Health Conference highlights his dedication to inspiring others.
