Host Mike Mortlock sits down with Kieran Clair, a seasoned property journalist, editor, and co-founder of Bricks & Mortar Media — a communications firm built specifically for the real estate and finance world.

But today, it’s not just about the headlines Kieran has helped shape — it’s about what’s been happening behind the scenes.

With decades of experience navigating the pressures of modern media, Kieran offers a candid look into the rise of click-driven content, the decline of investigative reporting, and how financial pressures are reshaping what gets published — and what gets left out.

He also shares his insights on the increasing role of AI in journalism, why the “voice” of a journalist still matters, and what readers need to look for to separate credible insights from well-disguised fluff.

Another exciting New Podcast Episode! 🏡

Host Mike Mortlock is joined by Azeem Rahman, a property investor who brings a refreshingly honest and reflective perspective to the show. Unlike many guests, Azeem isn’t a buyer’s agent or property professional — he’s a self-directed investor who started in his early 20s with no real plan, just a deposit and ambition. Now, nearly a decade later, he shares how a lack of strategy led to costly mistakes and missed opportunities.

Azeem walks us through his early investing years — from buying in his own backyard with no clear goal, to realising after his third property that he was building a portfolio without direction. This sparked a turning point: the decision to rethink everything through the lens of strategy.

Another exciting New Podcast Episode! 🏡

Host Mike Mortlock is joined by Joel Moffat, a former bank valuer turned buyer’s agent, who shares how his background in property valuation gives him a unique edge in today’s market. Joel lifts the curtain on how valuations work inside one of the Big Four banks — including the difference between desktop and full valuations, how risks are assessed, and why certain features (like flood zones or outdated imagery) can significantly impact lending outcomes.

Joel explains what “buying below market value” really means, and why it’s not just about getting a discount — but about securing the right property in the right location to drive long-term growth. He outlines the importance of strategy, how he reverse-engineers property plans based on client goals, and why one-size-fits-all models often miss the mark.
