Have you ever wondered what became of the television personalities that you loved from the decades gone by? Well, if they were anything like David Reyne, host of Getaway, The Morning Show, and actor on The Flying Doctors, and drummer for 80’s rock sensation The Chantoozies, they would have become entrepreneurial Real Estate experts.

It’s difficult to sustain a career in the public eye for a long time, and although David Reyne did a pretty amazing job of it, he smartly recognised when it was time to get out and look into different ventures. And so he turned to his passion for property and presented a Real Estate agency with an incredible marketing idea that they just couldn’t turn down.

Now David works in property full-time at Aqua Real Estate in Mount Eliza, Victoria and shares his many learnings about his time in the business in the latest episode. If you have fear about changing your career path or you doubt your own entrepreneurial spirit, David has some golden words for you.
