Jai is a mortgage broker with over 15 years' experience, and Marlies is a former property development lawyer with a passion for education and creative projects. They have two sons, Troy and Zac, a cavoodle, Ruby, and horses, Zoe and Twisty.Together they have built more than 10 properties, started, owned and operated several businesses, including a mortgage brokerage, retail shop and cafes, a franchise company, online shop, ready-made meal business and property developments.Along the way they've celebrated some amazing successes, bounced back from some major setbacks and learned some tough lessons.Some of their successes include doing the biggest deal on Shark Tank (Season 2) for their national food franchise business Paleo Cafe. That deal later fell through in due diligence, but it taught them a valuable lesson.In 2015, Marlies won Franchise Council of Australia National Franchise Woman of the Year, and the team won Best New QSR in 2014.She was named emerging AusMumpreneur of the Year in 2014, as well as other accolades for Paleo Cafe and Healthy Everyday.In 2014, Marlies released her first publication The Paleo Café Lifestyle & Cookbook, which quickly became a national bestseller.Meanwhile, Jai placed second in the world for the Next-Gen in Franchising Awards in Texas in 2015 and is a multi-award-winning mortgage broker, having helped thousands of people achieve their financial and property goals over the past 15 years. It's fair to say that Jai and Marlies have experienced some extremely challenging times as well. They feel grateful to have not only survived those lessons but to have come through the other side stronger, both personally and as a couple, and definitely much wiser!Having journeyed through the highs and lows, with backgrounds in law, finance, business, health, property and, most proudly of all, parenthood, they gained a passion to help educate and inspire future generations to soar into life after school.They wanted to equip young people with a comprehensive reference book that they could keep with them and refer to the relevant sections as and when they needed them.Jai and Marlies hope this handbook will help guide young people to make informed financial decisions and protect them, where possible, from learning things the hard way and enduring unnecessary financial pain.ver menos
