Welcome to Point Zero One – Hosted by Allen Fu. This podcast is about real stories, real strategies, and real results. No fluff—just insights from the best in the game.   In this episode, we sit down with Jordan Beh, a NSW mortgage broker and founder of Insight Finance, whose journey is anything but linear. From flipping cars in high school to launching a frozen yogurt store that ultimately failed, Jordan shares the hard lessons behind a $500K loss, including poor research, tough competition, and being locked into a long-term lease with personal guarantees. But that failure became the foundation. Jordan rebuilt through a Big Four bank, becoming a top-performing relationship manager before taking a risk during the Royal Commission era to start his own mortgage broking business. With low overheads and relentless execution, he wrote $88M in his first year and has since scaled toward $750M+ annually, becoming one of Australia’s top brokers. We unpack the realities of building wealth, from property investing and leverage to the often overlooked lessons around tax, Div 7A, FBT, and lifestyle traps. Jordan also shares his perspective on thinking bigger, moving faster, and navigating tall poppy syndrome while staying focused on long-term growth. 💡 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ The real reasons his first business failed ✅ How to rebuild after a major financial loss ✅ What it takes to scale to $750M+ in annual volume ✅ Lessons on tax, structuring, and avoiding costly mistakes ✅ How to build wealth through property and leverage ✅ The mindset behind faster execution and bigger thinking   Follow Point Zero One Podcast on socials for more shorts: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pointzeroonepodcast/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@pointzeroonepodcast Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@pointzeroonepodcast LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/point-zero-one-podcast/   Listen To Point Zero One Podcast on: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6HoWv69lt1E2DmT1Z1evkM?si=5ef647df42404c41 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/point-zero-one-podcast-w-allen-fu/id1814030515 Amazon: https://music.amazon.com/es-cl/podcasts/83ad3f1a-f7a2-4c6c-9bff-462a6d7f32e1/point-zero-one-podcast-w-allen-fu   Make sure to subscribe and keep up to date!
