#131 - Joseph Daoud - Small Business Owners Are Screwed

🎙 In This Episode of the 2 Worlds Collide Podcast, I sit down with passionate Australian small business owner and economic commentator Joseph Daoud for a wide-ranging conversation about Australia's economy, the cost of living, housing affordability, banking and the political decisions affecting everyday Australians.

We begin by exploring his journey from personal trainer to mortgage broker, including his experiences in banking, building a successful business and witnessing the financial pressures facing Australian families.

The conversation then turns to the federal budget, the challenges facing small businesses, housing affordability and his experiences engaging directly with politicians in Canberra. We also discuss political accountability, the influence of mainstream media, the role of independent voices, government regulation and concerns surrounding online censorship.

Finally, we explore financial literacy, Australia's education system, the Reserve Bank, interest rates and the growing importance of Australians understanding the economic decisions that shape their lives.
