Episode 1: Opportunities and threats – A Ground-Level Look at the Aussie Economy



In this episode of In the Trenches, host Hanif Ibrahim sits down with Daniel Gradwell, Economist and Associate Director, Property at ANZ, to explore how a grounded, human view of economics can help business owners make smarter decisions in unpredictable times.



They dive into the disconnect between macro data and real-world experience, the limitations of traditional economic models, and what business leaders should really focus on when trying to make sense of the market—especially in Australia.

Forget feel-good fluff—this is a conversation grounded in experience, shaped by tough decisions, and full of strategies that actually work in the real world.
