What a fantastic day at the FBAA Elevate Series on the Gold Coast!

There’s something pretty special about seeing a room full of brokers, lenders and industry professionals taking time away from the day-to-day to share knowledge, learn from each other and walk away with practical insights we can actually use in our businesses. And I have to say, I was one very proud team leader today! 💛

Loved having Nina Martin, Jasmine Capel and Henk there representing FAM Brokers, and apparently we didn’t just come to learn… we came to win prizes too! 😂🏆A huge congratulations to Nina for taking out the TOP prize and Henk for scoring second prize! Not a bad day at the office, Team FAM! 👏😂

A special shout-out to Barb Kirby, who did a brilliant job MC’ing and keeping the day flowing, engaging and entertaining. And one of the best parts of these events is always catching up with so many wonderful people across our industry. It was fantastic seeing Michelle Rose, Brett Drammers, Karen Valenzuela, Tara Fox, Tash DeSilva, Ben Ithell, Nicola Schuback, Joanna James, Janelle Barnes, Heidi Hayward and Scott Beattie, along with so many familiar and new faces.

Days like today are a great reminder that while we may all run different businesses, there is enormous value in collaboration over competition, sharing what we know and continuing to learn from one another. Congratulations to the FBAA and everyone involved in putting together such a valuable event.

We came away with new ideas, great conversations, plenty of laughs… and, thanks to Nina and Henk, a little extra luggage! 😂🏆Proud of Team FAM. Proud to be part of this industry. And always learning.

🎙️ MONEY, CHATS & MISHAPS PODCAST IS BACK!

And this time… we may have gone slightly off-script. 😂

We’ve just finished recording our next 8 episodes with some incredible industry experts — and there are plenty of honest conversations, funny stories, education, lessons learned and, of course, a few mishaps along the way.

But there’s also a twist. 👀

🕵️ Four of our upcoming episodes take a walk into the darker side of money.

Australian financial crime.
Fraud.
Corruption.
Tax evasion.
Financial schemes.
And some extraordinary stories about what can happen when money, opportunity and questionable decisions collide.

We’re also filming from a brand-new studio, so Money, Chats & Mishaps is getting a fresh new look!

The next 8 weeks are going to be action-packed.

🎧 Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube and other major streaming platforms.

And I want YOU involved.

What money or finance topic have you always wanted someone to explain without all the jargon?

Or is there an Australian financial crime or infamous case you'd love us to unpack?

Drop it in the comments or send me a message — it might just become an episode. 👇

Can I ask you one question?

If your bank called you tomorrow and said...

"We're reviewing your finance to make sure it's still the best fit for you..."

Would you be surprised?

Most people assume...

Once the loan settles...

That's the end of the relationship.

At FAM Brokers, we believe that's when the relationship really begins.

Because life changes.

Businesses grow.

Families expand.

Investments evolve.

Goals shift.

Your finance should evolve too.

The right finance isn't about today...

It's about supporting where you want to be in five, ten or twenty years.

That's why we believe in regular Finance Reviews.

Not because something is wrong...

Because something could be even better.

The biggest financial mistake isn't always making the wrong decision...

Sometimes...

It's making no decision at all.

How many people stay with the same:
🏡 Home loan...
💼 Business loan...
🏢 Commercial finance...
💳 Credit cards...
📈 Investment strategy...
..simply because they're too busy to review it?

Your life changes.

Your business grows.

Interest rates move.

Lending policies change.

Tax legislation evolves.

But many people never stop to ask...

"Is my current finance still the right fit?"

A simple finance review could uncover opportunities to:

✔ Improve cash flow

✔ Reduce repayments

✔ Strengthen your lending structure

✔ Prepare for future growth

✔ Support your long-term goals

Sometimes, the biggest financial opportunity isn't earning more...

It's making smarter decisions with what you already have.

📞 When was the last time you reviewed your finances? Call Renae on 0430077581 or message me:)

If you can't remember...

Maybe it's time.

🎤 National Finance Brokers Day 2026 – Brisbane

What a fantastic day of learning, laughing, reconnecting and being surrounded by some of the finance industry’s movers, shakers and all-round great humans! Plus Bush Barbie.

There’s something special about stepping away from the everyday busyness, sharing ideas, learning, hearing different perspectives and catching up with people who genuinely love what they do.

It was wonderful seeing Michael Riddiford, Victoria Eagles, Michelle Rose, Ben Ithell, Leah Renwick, Leah Hudson, Barb Kirby, Tara Fox, Vlad Murphy, Greg Durie, Tanya Brindlecombe and so many other familiar faces. I’m sure I’ve missed a few, the danger of knowing too many people! 😂

A huge thank you to Connective for taking me along. It was a genuine privilege to attend, and I’m very grateful for the invitation, the conversations and another opportunity to keep learning from our industry.

Great people, great conversations and plenty to bring back to the FAM Brokers team. 💛
