Should You Invest in Property in Victoria? (Melbourne vs Regional) | Dean Munro | Episode 207

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 13:00:00 +1000

Should you be buying property in Victoria, Australia - or anywhere in Australia - with capital gains tax changes, negative gearing changes, and land taxes? Is property still a way to build wealth, especially for business owners deciding where to allocate capital?

In Episode 207 of the Moving Beyond Being Good Podcast, Gary Ryan speaks with Dean Munro, a buyer’s agent and founder of Dean Munro Property, about what’s happening in the Victorian market right now and how to think through Melbourne vs regional Victoria (including locations like Bendigo, Ballarat, and Geelong).

They discuss:

Whether Victoria remains attractive for property investors and why (supply and demand)
How yields in Melbourne compare with other states and what market softening has changed
What a buyer’s agent actually does (due diligence, negotiation/auction bidding, reports, and building the right support team)
Typical timeframes to secure the right property (often 2–3 months)
Off-market opportunities and the value of agent relationships
Key considerations for first-time investors, owner-occupiers, and those exploring commercial property later on

Two very different mentors who shaped his CEO style
The uncomfortable shift from peer to CEO with the same team
The real price you pay to sit in the CEO chair

Sat, 16 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +1100

Gary Ryan interviews Dean Munro from Dean Munro Property Buyers Agents & Tax Depreciation Specialist.

Gary first met Dean when he was a scholarship holder for a personal and professional development program at RMIT University. Several years earlier, Dean had bought his first property with his brother while he was studying.

With a keen eye for networking opportunities, Dean catalysed conversations with his clients. One of which happened to tell him about her Buyers Agency Business.

This "chance" conversation led to a mentoring relationship where Dean set up his own agency and added a tax depreciation specialisation to help him to better service his clients.

In 2015 Dean co-authored his bestselling novel Breaking The Chains with his great friend Chris Hadj.

In this episode, you will learn:

What Property Surveyor does
What a Buyers Agent does

How to communicate effectively and 'playright' your way to success with Dale Stevens

Sat, 09 Dec 2023 08:00:00 +1100

Dale Stevens is the Founder of Playright and is Gary Ryan's guest on Episode of the Moving Beyond Being Good Podcast.

Dale Stevens is a London-trained actress who discovered her passion for acting at a very young age. Her journey took her from London to Sydney, New Zealand and back to Melbourne as she pursued her love for the craft.

One of the pivotal moments in Dale’s career was landing a role in Mission Impossible, where she portrayed an assassin in front of famous US actors. This experience taught her that her best work happened when she was most afraid, which lead her to make friends with her nerves. Then came her big idea.

We’re all always acting and most people act unconsciously, what if they could use acting techniques to navigate their way through life intentionally…turns out they can and through her work they do.

Over the last 11 years, Dale has worked with lawyers, accountants, business owners, government departments, entrepreneurs, telecommunications and buddy speakers. It turns out that there are ways of behaving that are common to all of us and as Dale says - human behaviour drives economics.

In this episode you will learn:

Dale's journey and why she is so passionate about helping professionals improve their communication
Why confidence isn't as important as you may think for public speaking
Hacks for improving your communication and storytelling that you will be able to use immediately

An Interview With The No Bullsh!t Leader

Sat, 19 Aug 2023 09:00:00 +1000

"Gary Ryan interviews Martin G Moore, the No Bullsh!t Leader.

He isn’t a theorist—everything Marty's learned has been through his personal experience and performance in the trenches!

A university law school dropout, he worked his way up to hold corporate executive roles in Strategy, Technology, Finance, and Sales & Marketing.

As CEO of multi-billion dollar company, CS Energy, he drove a remarkable performance turnaround, growing EBITDA from $17 million to $441 million in just 5 years. This 125% compound annual growth rate in earnings is virtually unheard of.

In 2018 he left the corporate world to create Your CEO Mentor, the business he founded with his daughter, Emma Green. Since then, his direct, cut-through approach has made No Bullsh!t Leadership one of the top leadership podcasts globally, with over 4 million downloads in 150+ countries, and his book debuted at #2 on the Wall Street Journal bestseller list.

His sole purpose is to improve the quality of leaders, globally.

In the episode you will learn:

What Marty means by "No Bullsh!t Leadership"
Marty's view on the state of leadership in the world, today
How many times the word, "Bullsh!t" is used in Marty's Wall Street Journal Bestseller, "No Bullsh!t Leadership"
Marty's key insights about decision-making process
The interplay between confidence, arrogance, and self-doubt
Marty's lessons from transitioning from being a CEO to a consultant the Your CEO Mentor
And much more (pardon the pun)

Help me give away 10,000 audio and ebooks of my Bestseller

Sat, 17 Jun 2023 09:00:00 +1000

If you, or anyone in your network would like the audiobook and eBook versions of my #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller, click this link

Many of you would be aware that I recently had surgery to replace my right hip. The surgery has gone very well and I am now back on my feet, which is great .

A few Sundays ago was the first time I had been to a function at our local junior football club, of which we have been members for 15 years and for which I have held many roles, including having commenced the girls junior football program back in 2015, which is still going strong today.

As a result of a story too long to share, I had a box full of my books that didn’t cost me anything. I thought to myself, “Who could I share these with? How can I share some of my books?"

The answer: the coaches and parents at our Junior Football Club.

That night, the club was heaving with well over 300 players and parents in attendance. The club President Brodie Phillips gave the free book a plug in both his opening and closing speeches, including the fact the book had become a #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller. Our club motto is, “Through football, better citizens” and it is a motto that is alive and breathing at the club. It is a motto that means a lot to me.

However, I could not give all the books away. I still had 18 books in the box. Heaps of parents simply said, “It sounds interesting, but I don’t read.”

I have received feedback that the subtitle could have been, “Lessons for parents from the pandemic”. Is there a more important leadership role than parenting?

Upon reflection, they weren’t saying they don’t read “anything”. What they were saying was they don’t read physical books.

So, it got me thinking. I have a digital version of my book, and I have an audio version of my book, maybe you will listen to the book, or “read” the digital version.

Then I thought, why not drop all the barriers and let everyone get both for free!
So, because of my experience last night, you are going to benefit 😀!

It is time to share some ❤️ so you can get both versions for free and make it easier for you and others in your network to “read” 😀

I am now on a mission to give away at least 10,000 copies – and I need your help! Feel free to share this opportunity in any way you like, including sharing this podcast episode.

A conversation with Bonnie Low-Kramen and why a people-focused culture matters!

Thu, 16 Mar 2023 17:00:00 +1100

Gary Ryan from Organisations That Matter, and author of the #1 Amazon Kindle Bestseller "Disruption Leadership Matters - lessons for leaders from the pandemic" shares a conversation with Bonnie Low-Kramen, author of "Staff Matters - People-Focused Solutions For The Ultimate Workplace".

Bonnie was Academy Award winning actor Olympia Dukakis' Personal Assistant for 25 years. Bonnie learned extraordinary lessons about leadership and a people focused culture in her time with Olympia. In 2011, Bonnie created her business to train Personal & Executive Assistants, as limited training existed at the time. Bonnie's training includes enabling the Assistants to teach their manager how to best use their skills.

Having taught thousands of Assistants in 14 countries and 20 states within the USA, Bonnie has heard first-hand about the culture crisis that exists in many organisations.

93% of Bonnie's attendees are women, and as such Bonnie has become acutely aware of the challenges that women and people of other non-male genders experience in the workplace. And it isn't a pretty picture. Thankfully, Bonnie has solutions that you won't want to miss, and I'm confident you will enjoy every second of this conversation.
