In this episode, we chat with Dave Beard about not retiring and still having a vision for yourself no matter your age. How resilience, reinvention, and finding a niche community within the Property Development & Technology world can change your purpose and drive.

After the devastating 2013 Brisbane floods, David’s multi-million-dollar project marketing business collapsed — triggering a $3M loan recall and forcing him to sell properties, assets, and even his retirement savings.

Instead of walking away, he pivoted.

By studying the National Disability Insurance Scheme and identifying a critical housing gap, David built a full-service Specialist Disability Accommodation (SDA) business designed around real carer and resident needs.

But he didn’t stop there.

Frustrated by the lack of innovation protecting vulnerable residents, David self-funded Aerial Care, building smart home technology including:

• Choke detection systems
• Assault detection technology
• Fall detection
• Eye-tracking controls for independence
• VR experiences for engagement
