It's hosted by Ed and Andrew from Opes Partners. Ok, now for the legal bit. The Property Academy Podcast is for your general information. It’s not financial advice. So the hosts aren’t telling you what to do with your own money. We’ve made every effort to make sure the information is accurate. But we occasionally get the odd fact wrong. Make sure you do your own research or talk to a financial adviser before making any investment decisions.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T06:19:01.239662+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-property-academy-podcast-1188781"},"episode":{"title":"He Walked Out Of Maths Class At 16 … Now He’s Shedvesting⎟Ep. 2460","slug":"he-walked-out-of-maths-class-at-16-now-he-s-shedvesting-ep-2460","published_at":"2026-06-06T16:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-property-academy-podcast-1188781/he-walked-out-of-maths-class-at-16-now-he-s-shedvesting-ep-2460","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-property-academy-podcast-1188781","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/propertyacademy/episodes/He-Walked-Out-Of-Maths-Class-At-16--Now-Hes-ShedvestingEp--2460-e3k1g7c","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/e26a5a8/podcast/play/120684204/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-4-28%2Fdd39d087-a7e9-bf94-28b6-9b9de554c1bd.mp3","summary":"Jim walked out of maths class at 16 to start working in civil construction.Today, he owns two rental properties, is pushing toward a third… and is currently “shedvesting” from a garage sleepout to get ahead faster.
