Cash, Cars, and Cold Plunges | Andrew Farrow

In this episode, Andrew joins us for a chat about cars, property, and life decisions. From selling rare Porsches to managing a four-hectare lifestyle block, he shares lessons learned from years of business and investing. We also get into the realities of homeownership, run club fitness goals, and the appeal of digital nomad life. It’s a mix of practical insights, personal stories, and good laughs. From cold plunges to engagement celebrations.

In this engaging conversation with Andrew Farrow, we delve into his thriving car business, where he currently manages 35 vehicles, including several prized Porsches. Andrew shares insights on the Porsche brand's enduring appeal, noting how the 911s tend to hold their value well, especially higher-spec models.

When reflecting on his life journey, Andrew discusses his property investment experience over 27 years, mentioning how property values have dramatically shifted - from homes costing double the average income to now being 11-14 times higher. He speaks about his lifestyle on a 4-hectare block, complete with fruit trees, Wagyu cattle, and the constant maintenance such properties require.

The conversation shifts to fitness, with Andrew participating in a regular 'Run Club' despite living in the country and needing to leave home at 5am to join. He's discovering that at 49, it's not too late to focus on fitness, noting the importance of mobility and flexibility as we age.

Business-wise, Andrew is transitioning toward higher-end vehicles and a consignment model. He's also considering property investment near Christchurch's new stadium, which will host 48 events in its first year.

Other topics include the appeal of digital nomad life in Bali (which Andrew notes can be cheaper than living costs in New Zealand), cold water immersion for health benefits, and David's recent engagement in Thailand.
