Inside The Property Arena with DAVID M. WALKER – What Australia Can Learn from Global Fiscal Trends

I had the incredible privilege of sitting down with David M. Walker, former U.S. Comptroller General (1998–2008) and founder of the Comeback America Initiative. If you're not familiar with David, he’s one of the most respected global authorities on fiscal responsibility, policy reform, and long-term economic strategy.


Over his distinguished career, David has advised presidents, led national audits, and shaped key financial frameworks at the highest levels of government. And now, he’s sharing his wisdom directly with us.


In this powerful conversation, David dives deep into:

✅ What Australia’s property market can learn from global fiscal trends
✅ How investors can prepare for a potential global recession
✅ Why disciplined, long-term thinking is more important than ever
✅ Key takeaways from his eye-opening book,
America in 2040: Still a Superpower?



Whether you're a seasoned property investor, an entrepreneur planning your next move, or simply someone concerned about the direction of the global economy — this episode is packed with insights that matter.
