Ep 28 | The $1B Round Table - How to Dominate 2026

Four of Australia's most successful entrepreneurs sit down together for the first time ever in this explosive year-end roundtable. Sammy Gordon (AFR Fast 100 four years running, Young Entrepreneur of the Year), Jack Delosa (five-time AFR Young Rich Lister, founder of The Entourage), Geoff Jowett (serial entrepreneur behind Vision Personal Training and Body Trim), and Josh Morrissey (Co-Founder of Hive Property) share the raw, unfiltered lessons that shaped their success. This isn't your typical business podcast. What starts as a "biggest lessons from 2025" conversation quickly evolves into a masterclass on entrepreneurial psychology, the dangers of ego-driven success, and how to achieve your goals in 2026. In this episode, you'll hear the uncomfortable truth about what really drives early success (and why it eventually breaks you), the "rocket booster" theory of entrepreneurship, and the one habit that separates those who consume information from those who create wealth. 0:00 - Introduction: Four Entrepreneurs, One Table, Zero Scripts 4:25 - Why Breakthrough Entrepreneurs Think Differently (Not Better, Different) 8:40 - The Power of Proximity: What Happens When High Performers Unite 14:45 - "I'm Not Dysfunctional, My Brain Just Works Different" 17:23 - Calling Out Victim Mentality 19:05 - The Minecraft Billionaire's Depression: Money Without Meaning 24:35 - "No Drinks, No Minx": Geoff's Brutally Honest Reflection on What He'd Change 28:14 - The Dirty Fuel Source: Why Ego-Driven Success Eventually Destroys You 31:43 - Equanimity: The Word That Changes Everything About Success 35:03 - Rewiring Your Brain: Sammy's Journey from Negativity to Celebration 38:05 - The Rocket Booster Theory: Why Some Entrepreneurs Can't Sit Still 41:47 - Deep Work Religion: Jack's 4am Strategy That Transformed His Business 49:50 - High Level Grunt Work: The Game-Changing Concept 56:06 - The Shoe Analogy: Why Your Business Systems Are Holding You Back 1:00:14 - Einstein's Brain & The Receptor Theory of Intelligence 1:04:05 - Power of Proximity: Why This Was Sammy's #1 Lesson of 2025 1:07:15 - The 1% Compounding Effect: Small Changes, Massive Results 1:12:41 - 92% of Investors Quit Here: Breaking Through the Two-Property Barrier 1:17:06 - Scar Tissue: Why Problems Stop Shaking You at High Levels 1:25:04 - Comparison is the Thief of Joy: The Mindset Shift That Changes Everything 1:31:07 - The Warren Buffett and Jay-Z Interview That Proves This Blueprint Works 1:37:45 - Final Takeaways: Speed to Implementation Over Information Consumption Want to learn my exact strategy for building a successful property portfolio?
