Australian Finance Podcast · Brandon van der Kolk on building New Money and Buffett-style investing · 20 Jul 2026 podcast

Yeah.

I think low key, I've always been fascinated with money.

I used to play video games when I was a kid and the ones I was drawn to were like the economy based business growth tycoon style games.

I just didn't really realize I was into it.

And I don't think my parents kind of realized that I was into it.

And it wasn't until I actually just went through the schooling system.

I did a degree as I became a physio, worked as a physio for three years.

It wasn't actually till the end of my physio degree where I started looking at salaries that I was like, oh, this is not what I want.

This is not where I want to get to in terms of my income.

I had high ambitions.

So that's when I started investing terribly at the start.

I was absolutely, I knew nothing about it.

I was just, you know, flying blind, just throwing darts at a dartboard.

Yeah, my parents have never been big investors, I guess.

We never had big money chats.

I mean, they're doing fine and they're very smart people, but I don't think we had those kind of big money chats when I was a kid.

So, most of the investing stuff was self-taught.

I did have a couple of family members that I reached out to in the early days that work in like superannuation and financial advice that steered me in the right direction.

Unfortunately, that was after I made a lot of mistakes though.

That's always the way, man.
