Live Webinars That Actually Teach You Something
We started running these sessions back in 2023 because people kept asking the same questions. And honestly, email responses weren't cutting it anymore.
So now we gather online every month. Real conversations about budgeting, investing basics, managing debt without losing your mind. The kind of stuff that banks don't explain and finance blogs overcomplicate.
Nothing fancy. Just practical guidance from people who've helped hundreds of Australians sort out their money situations.
How We Run These Sessions
Most webinars are just presentations with a Q&A tacked on at the end. Ours work differently because we've learned what actually helps people.
Small Group Format
We cap attendance at 40 people. Sounds arbitrary, but that's the sweet spot where everyone can participate without it turning into chaos. You can ask questions throughout, not just at designated times. Conversations happen naturally.
Real Scenarios Only
We don't do hypothetical case studies with made-up numbers. Participants share actual situations they're dealing with, and we work through them together. Sometimes messy, always useful. That's where the real learning happens.
Follow-Up Resources
After each session, you get a recap document with the strategies we discussed, calculator templates we used, and resources specific to what came up. Not generic handouts. Materials that reflect the actual conversation we had.
Meet Callum Priestley
Callum runs most of our webinars. He spent twelve years at financial institutions before realizing he preferred helping individuals over managing corporate portfolios.
What makes him good at this? He doesn't talk down to people. And he's brilliant at explaining complicated concepts using everyday language. Probably because he grew up in a family that never discussed money and had to figure everything out himself.
He's also weirdly enthusiastic about superannuation rules, which sounds boring but becomes interesting when someone's explaining how you can actually use them to your advantage.
What Participants Have Figured Out
The Mortgage Acceleration Strategy
During our September 2024 session on home loans, a participant mentioned they'd been making minimum repayments for years. We walked through offset account optimization and found they could potentially reduce their loan term by six years with their current income. Three months later, they'd restructured everything.
Emergency Fund Reality Check
A teacher in our April 2025 webinar had been trying to save six months of expenses and feeling defeated. We discussed scaled approaches and she realized three months was more realistic for her situation. Last I heard, she'd actually hit that target and felt significantly less anxious about unexpected costs.
Investment Portfolio Simplification
Someone joined our January session with seventeen different investments across multiple platforms. Absolute mess. We spent time looking at consolidation strategies and fee reduction. He simplified down to four core holdings and now actually understands what he owns.
What You'll Learn In Upcoming Sessions
We plan topics based on what people are struggling with right now. Here's what we're covering through late 2025 and into 2026.

"I'd watched probably twenty finance videos on YouTube before finding these webinars. The difference is you can actually ask your specific questions and get answers that apply to your situation. Not generic advice that sounds good but doesn't help. I figured out my superannuation contribution strategy in one session after being confused about it for two years."Magnus Lindstrom, IT Consultant from Melbourne
Join Our Next Session
Webinars run monthly and spaces fill up quickly because of our small group approach. If you're dealing with financial questions that general advice isn't solving, these sessions might help.
No cost to attend. Just bring your questions and be ready to participate.
Get Session DetailsTechnical Requirements
We use Zoom because it's reliable and most people already have it. You'll need a decent internet connection and ideally a webcam, though audio-only works if that's your preference.
Before The Session
You'll receive a confirmation email three days before with the Zoom link and session materials. We send a worksheet with the main topics we'll cover so you can prepare questions.
Sessions run for 90 minutes. Sometimes we go slightly over if there are unresolved questions, but we respect people's time. Recording is available afterward if you need to leave early or want to review something.
During The Session
We start with a brief overview, then open it up for discussion. Questions can be asked via chat or verbally. Most people are hesitant initially, but conversations flow naturally once someone breaks the ice.
Everything discussed is confidential. We ask that participants don't share others' financial situations outside the session. It's important people feel comfortable being honest about their circumstances.
