The John Kenel Show
Straight talk on property, money, and getting ahead in New Zealand.
John Kenel has spent over 20 years developing property and 27 years investing in it. More than 1,000 homes built. On this show he breaks down the property market, development, and money the way it actually works, not the way the system wants you to see it.
No jargon. No fluff. No spin. Just real talk for tradies, investors, business owners, and everyday Kiwis who want more freedom and more control over their lives.
If you've ever felt like the rules are stacked against ordinary people trying to get ahead, this is for you.
New episodes regularly. Education only, not financial advice.

The Cantillon Effect explains who benefits first when money gets created, but it doesn't explain when things really went off the rails. For that, you need to look at what happened next.
World War I changed everything. Before then, money was tied to gold and governments were constrained. Wars are expensive, so they borrowed and printed. What started as 'temporary emergency measures' became permanent features of the system.
By 1971, Nixon closed the gold window completely. From that point on, money became whatever government said it was. Inflation stopped being an accident and became a feature.
Once you see the pattern - governments like spending, voters don't like taxes, printing fills the gap - a lot of things stop feeling random. Asset bubbles, cost of living pressures, the wealth gap between savers and asset owners.
It's not conspiracy, just incentives. And if this is the system, you either understand it or slowly get ground up by it.
