DAYZERO

This week on DAYZERO, Gus sits down with Chris Gray — property investor, buyer's agent, and longtime Sky News host of Property Empire — to unpack a philosophy built not on complexity, but on deliberately choosing the simplest path to freedom.

Chris traces his journey from a broke backpacker in Australia who vowed to come back with money, to a $20+ million portfolio built on one stubborn idea: no supply, lots of demand. He explains why he retired from Deloitte at 31, why the smartest people in the room are often the worst property investors, and why his boutique five-person buyer's agency was always a means to an end rather than an empire to build. Along the way he shares how he bought 14 cars during COVID, and how he ended up driving a fully branded 1953 "tank" through Bondi Junction.
