In this episode of the Ways to Wealth Podcast, Charlie is joined by Brent Coleman!
Brent runs a fast-growing YouTube channel dedicated to educating New Zealanders about personal finance, covering saving, investing, and money management. With a finance degree and international experience, including two years at a Singapore-based family office, Brent brings both practical and global perspectives to his content.
The conversation explores Brent’s content creation strategy, where he shares how he develops video ideas, scripts, and edits — spending roughly an hour per minute of final content while keeping a pipeline of 10+ ideas. They also dive into economic analysis, discussing issues with New Zealand’s CPI data, the Reserve Bank’s interest rate decisions, and new tools like Truflation for real-time inflation tracking.
Brent explains his investment philosophy, built around a conservative index fund approach with an 80/20 core-satellite strategy balancing stable long-term holdings with smaller speculative plays. He also gives behind-the-scenes insights into life inside a Southeast Asian billionaire’s family office, from 80-hour weeks to exclusive private investment opportunities, highlighting the reality versus perception of ultra-wealth management.
The discussion expands into cryptocurrency, where Brent and Charlie examine Bitcoin’s institutional adoption, transaction costs, and the practical challenges of secure storage.
This episode shows how deep finance expertise can translate into engaging education, while underscoring the importance of discipline and balance in building wealth.
