About Best Stocks Now with Michael Jenson

Grant and Charlie approach wealth creation from the viewpoint of people who run businesses, make messy decisions, and then have to live with the consequences. The show is grounded in the idea that business owners need a full set of skills to build wealth inside and outside the company. It does not present itself as formal financial advice. Instead, episodes lean on lived experience, guest conversations, and practical frameworks. A recurring theme is that the business cannot be treated separately from the owner's personal financial life. Accountants, bookkeepers, lending specialists, partners, clients, and even email lists all become part of the same system. Some episodes are tactical. Building a wealth creation team, moving accountants, improving bookkeeping conversations, and understanding mortgage fund lending all get concrete attention. Others are more reflective. Grant and Charlie talk through financial regrets, money traps, poor-fit clients, and the danger of short-term decisions made under cash pressure. The show is at its best when it makes a familiar business problem feel financially legible. A bad client is not just annoying; it can damage margins, support load, refunds, and churn. A trend such as AI can create an edge, but the discussion keeps asking what moat remains when the market catches up. The format is loose and conversational. Jokes, pointed questions, disclaimers, newsletter references, and community prompts sit beside serious conversations about tax, structures, borrowing, and risk. Guests such as Aaron Wybrow and Matt Williams add practitioner detail on lending and bookkeeping. The overall effect is not polished Wall Street analysis. It is a working owner's finance conversation: blunt, practical, Australian, and focused on avoiding preventable mistakes while building toward long-term assets.

Made for: For Australian business owners who want practical money conversations tied to clients, cash flow, borrowing, tax structures, and long-term assets. It suits listeners who prefer candid operator talk over abstract market commentary.

What sets it apart: The show treats wealth building as part of business operations, bringing accountants, bookkeepers, partner choices, client fit, and moats into one practical conversation. Its edge is the mix of blunt self-reflection and recurring professional disclaimers.

Concrete examples connect client selection, lending, wealth teams, and durable business moats to the financial choices business owners face.

Grant and Charlie turn business finance into a series of operating decisions: who belongs on a wealth-creation team, how poor-fit clients create hidden servicing costs, and what makes a competitive edge durable.
