With over three decades of property experience, Paul Million doesn’t hold back. From wild tenant tales, including a “roid-rage” fuelled rampage that left a property in ruins, to how he’s stayed mentally strong through the chaos, this episode dives deep.

We ask the big questions: What’s the biggest mistake Paul’s made? How does he keep his mindset sharp? And what does he wish every beginner knew before diving into property?

This isn’t just another property chat. It’s a raw, honest look at the mental game behind being a landlord, managing risk, and staying sane while building a portfolio.

Paul shares the mindset tools that have helped him navigate challenges, from ADHD and perfectionism to the glass ceilings we create in our minds. Expect practical lessons, a few laughs, and a real peek behind the property curtain.
