Property Developer Podcast
Hosted by Property Developer
A practical guide to the Australian property development industry, hosted by a developer who interviews a new expert in each episode.
An interview-based show where host and active developer Justin Gehde talks to Australian property industry professionals—developers, financiers, designers, and project managers. The focus is on the practical, step-by-step process of real estate development, from site acquisition and finance to planning, construction, and sales. Gehde grounds the conversations by openly sharing the progress, challenges, and finances of his own projects.
“The host consistently shares detailed, transparent updates on his own active development projects, grounding the expert interviews in his real-world successes and failures. This host-as-student-and-practitioner dynamic is a core part of the show's identity.”
Who hosts this show

After nearly 20 years in corporate roles, he transitioned to full-time property development, starting with a 20-townhouse project. He created the podcast to share the stories and strategies of other developers, believing it can be a "lonely game" and wanting to build a community for those looking to learn and grow. He frequently shares updates and lessons from his own active projects, which include developments worth over $24 million.

What you'll be asked on this show
Justin Gehde opens each interview with a disarming, non-industry icebreaker: "What's the food you'd eat until you were sick?". He then pivots to the guest's origin story, asking how they got their start in property. His questioning style is practical and process-oriented, aimed at extracting actionable advice for his audience of aspiring developers (e.g., "What is a good brief for a developer to provide?"). He often paraphrases a guest's point to confirm his understanding before building on it with a follow-up question, and he regularly relates their experiences back to his own projects to create context and rapport.
Each episode begins with the host's personal project update, followed by an interview that opens with a signature food-related icebreaker. The host uses a wood-sawing sound effect as a transition. It is an interview-based show, not a solo or narrative format.
