Ep 119. From Million-Dollar Listings to a Midlife Reawakening, with Andrew Campbell

In this week’s episode, Ash sits down with Andrew Campbell, founder of Hush Property and a respected figure in Melbourne’s high-end real estate market. Known for selling luxury homes with discretion and heart, Andrew shares a side of himself few ever see—the man behind the polished exterior, and the deeply personal journey that shaped him.Andrew opens up about losing his father at age 22, growing up with a mother living with bipolar disorder, and how work became both a coping mechanism and an addiction. From battling insecurities and being bullied at school to navigating grief, divorce, financial setbacks, and public criticism, Andrew reflects on the moments that brought him to his knees and the mindset shifts that helped him stand back up.Now 50, and entering what he calls his “second act,” Andrew shares how cold immersion, gut health, affirmations, inner child work, and spiritual practices have helped him redefine what success truly means. This is a powerful story of vulnerability, fatherhood, and the quiet transformation that happens when someone decides to stop performing and start living.The episode highlights are:04:31 Daily Life and Holistic Wellbeing07:12 Hiding Behind a Smile: Andrew's Struggles13:00 Childhood Reflections: The Fat Boy Struggle15:14 Family Dynamics: Growing Up with Mental Illness18:03 The Impact of Grief: Losing a Father at 2222:07 Navigating Young Adulthood: Partying and Loss25:23 Coping with Mental Illness in the Family27:24 Career Transition: From Personal Trainer to Real Estate27:43 From Business Setbacks to Real Estate Success30:05 The Drive for Success and Competitive Spirit31:14 Overcoming Financial Struggles and Criticism34:49 Navigating Criticism and Embracing Change36:30 The Power of Self-Talk and Mindset38:11 Health Practices: Cold Water, Sauna, and Gut Health41:34 The Importance of Following Your Intuition44:41 Reality TV: A New Challenge and Branding Opportunity49:24 Personal Growth and Comfort in One's Skin52:50 Looking Ahead: Family and Presence Over Material Success55:03 Non-Negotiables for a Fulfilling LifeYou can connect with Andrew Campbell on his Instagram or through the Hush website. To access your free guided meditations, head to the Freebie Page on Ash’s website ⁠https://www.ashbutterss.com/free-resources⁠Follow and connect with Ash on: ⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠TikTok ⁠⁠Facebook Website⁠  Hosted on Acast.
