Episode Description:

In this episode, we’re joined again by Peter White, the managing director of the Finance Brokers Association of Australasia (FBAA), who was awarded a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his outstanding contributions to the finance sector and community.

Peter talks about why a revolutionary “diploma with a difference” is replacing weekend certifications to build true mortgage expertise, how commercial lending offers untapped profits for specialised brokers, and why understanding client businesses is the new competitive edge in commercial finance.

He also discusses how AI will enhance (not replace) broker value, the truth behind 0.1% interest rates and 2025 market predictions, and why broker-planner partnerships could be the industry’s biggest missed opportunity.
