Reaching 250 episodes is both exciting and energising and I remain passionately committed to helping inspire greater courage freedom and self-awareness in our world.For a special way to celebrate this 250 milestone, I hereby offer to each of you a saving of $250 on our Executive Coaching Program that comprises six 1 on 1 personal coaching sessions with me, in person or via Zoom. These sessions WILL change your life, or the lives of those whom you lead. For a description of some of the programs I run, see here: https://charleskovess.com/executive-coaching/ In this week’s episode I explore why a nation’s culture is profoundly shaped by the level of home ownership and why disaster is looming if young adults can no longer afford to buy homes. I explain how home ownership creates stability responsibility freedom and respect for the rule of law while a society of permanent renters risks losing its sense of investment in the nation’s future. Drawing on powerful quotes from political and philosophical thinkers I discuss how the decline in affordable housing is fuelling frustration distrust and dangerous political movements across Western nations.I also examine how governments have badly failed in managing housing affordability through excessive regulation restricted land supply mass immigration and poor planning. I share practical solutions proposed by Kevin Loughrey ( https://kevinloughrey.com.au/ )and Gerard Clark to make housing genuinely affordable again particularly for first home buyers.Along the way I also discuss ANZAC Day, freedom, the failures of major government projects including Snowy Hydro 2.0 and the NDIS and the urgent need for citizens to hold politicians accountable. I finish with two personal health recommendations that I’ve found highly beneficial: Coenzyme Q10 and high-dose vitamin C.Thank you for being part of this special 250-episode journey. I hope this episode inspires you to think deeply about freedom responsibility and the future culture of your nation.Visit Charles Kovess' website: charleskovess.comReach out to Charles via email: [email protected] more about Charles and this show: charleskovess.com/show-notes/Visit and subscribe to the YouTube channel: youtube.com/@CharlesBKovessCharles also supports the Forever Freedom Movement — visit foreverfreedommovement.com to learn how children trapped in trafficking can be aided. Intro/Outro music credit: Music by bensound.comLicense code: SVLGLBBT9BLK1ZT4
