## Resource

Most people separate sport, business, and investing. But for one former Olympian, the mindset behind all three is exactly the same: discipline, execution, and relentless improvement. On The Property Nerds podcast, Arjun Paliwal sits down with former Australian Taekwondo Olympian Hayder Shkara, who has built a property portfolio worth over $8 million alongside a national legal business. Shkara shares how the habits forged in elite sport – structure, resilience, and performance under pressure – became the foundation for both his business success and property investing strategy. After competing at the Rio 2016 Olympics, he went on to found the Justice Network, a multi-state network of law practices across Queensland, NSW, and Victoria, while simultaneously building a diversified property portfolio across Australia. The discussion then explores how his investment strategy evolved from data-driven market selection to a more holistic approach focused on finance structures, equity positioning, and long-term opportunity cost. Shkara also reflects on how becoming a father has sharpened his focus, reinforcing his drive to build lasting financial security for his family through property.
