Get Invested: Busy, Broke & Burnt-Out? The Unique ‘Power of 2’ Fix!
Sat Feb 07 2026
If you’re flat-out busy, doing all the right things, but still feel like freedom keeps slipping further away - this episode is for you.
This is one of those Get Invested classics that never dates, because the problem hasn’t changed: too many Aussies are working harder, earning more, and somehow ending up time-poor, stressed, and stuck.
In this vault episode, Bushy challenges the traditional work/life model - the one that quietly trades your best years for busyness - and reframes wealth-building as what it actually is: a partnership and a system, not a hustle.
At the heart of the conversation is a deceptively simple idea Bushy calls The Power of 2.
In this episode, Bushy unpacks:
Why you don’t find time to invest, you design it, on purpose
How the traditional model (more work → more income → more spending) keeps families exhausted and stuck
The Power of 2 advantage: two aligned people will always outperform two exhausted individuals drifting
The Madison relay idea for relationships, tag-team roles so someone is always moving the freedom plan forward
The worker + wealth builder dynamic: different roles, same vision, same team
Why sustainable success is a 15–20 year game, and time must become your mate, not your enemy
Why wealth-by-stealth beats get-rich-quick every time, boring, consistent action wins
The simple action that changes everything:
Bushy outlines the first practical step every couple should take - a “Power of 2 meeting.”
Not a long, heavy strategy session.
Just enough alignment to:
Agree on the vision
Clarify who’s holding the baton right now
Decide the next handover
No waiting for “more time.”
No guilt.
No burnout.
Just progress.
And if you want help tailoring this framework to your situation, Bushy explains how to book a Personal Solution Session (with limited weekly availability).
🎧 If you’re busy, tired, and serious about building freedom without burning out - this episode will reset how you think about time, money, and partnership.
