Glen James

Bringing money education, having fun and helping you live life on your terms.

Glen has been immersed in money and the finance industry and knows better than anyone the aspirations, questions and money habits of Australians. He started attending investment conferences as a 16-year-old, and in the decades since has found himself on the AFR Fast Starter list and learned a valuable lesson: you don’t have to be “smart” to be good with money. He has also talked with the biggest names in money around the world and has a passion to help everyone achieve financial freedom.

His experience working with hundreds of clients as a financial adviser revealed the gap between the world of financial advice and the generations that needed the knowledge, so he created a show, money money money, which has now grown to include Retire Right and this is property. These shows have created a community of over 85,000 who cheer each other on in money, life, property goals, their careers, and more. He’s authored multiple books, including The Quick-Start Guide To Investing, winner of Book of the Year and Best Best Personal Finance and Investment book at the 2025 Australian Business Book Awards.

With a touch of humour, Glen loves to make the seemingly complicated simple, providing infotainment to help listeners manage their money and live life on their own terms. He has a tendency to drink lots of great coffee, speak his mind, and disagree with the majority. However, he remains focused on listeners and how their money stories are changing for the better.

Glen regularly speaks at various events nationally on a number of money topics. He is also a regular contributor to national industry and consumer facing publications.
