In Episode 6 of Moonee Valley Voices, I had the privilege of chatting with John Cachia, founder and CEO of Thriving Wealth. John’s story is one of passion, determination, and a deep-rooted commitment to empowering his community through financial literacy. If you’re looking for insight into how financial planning can be more than just numbers on a spreadsheet, this episode will inspire you.
Recorded in our Moonee Ponds podcast studio, this conversation digs into John’s approach to building wealth by focusing on both financial and personal fulfilment. It’s an episode filled with useful tips, wisdom, and lessons in resilience that anyone can take away—whether you’re a seasoned business owner or just getting started on your financial journey.
Thriving from the Ground Up
John’s journey into financial advisory started at just 14 when he worked in his uncle’s financial planning practice. By 20, he had launched Thriving Wealth, which has since evolved into a leading financial advisory practice in the Moonee Valley area. But it wasn’t always easy.
“One of the biggest challenges starting out so young was proving to people that I had what it takes,” John shared. “It took a lot of hard work and resilience to build trust.”
Fast-forward to today, and Thriving Wealth is not just about traditional financial planning—it’s about helping clients align their finances with their life goals. John believes in behavioural coaching, helping clients gain control over their finances in a way that brings them peace of mind and joy in life.
This holistic approach sets Thriving Wealth apart from other financial advisory practices, and it’s why we were so keen to have John on the show.
Community Connections in Moonee Valley
One of the most compelling parts of John’s story is how deeply connected he is to the Moonee Valley community. Growing up in East Keilor, John has always felt a strong connection to the area, and it’s clear this bond fuels his drive to give back.
“I’m passionate about helping people in this community because it’s where I grew up,” John explained. “From running financial literacy workshops to supporting local charities, I want to make a difference.”
John’s passion for financial literacy extends beyond adults. He’s also dedicated to educating younger generations, running programs designed to teach children the value of money and how to manage it wisely. His focus on helping people take control of their financial futures is one of the key takeaways from this episode, and it’s something we can all learn from.
Building Financial Freedom
During our chat, John emphasised that financial freedom isn’t just about accumulating wealth. It’s about using that wealth to live a life that aligns with your personal values. He spoke about the importance of understanding what truly matters to you and building a financial plan around that.
“You can make all the money in the world,” John said, “but if it doesn’t help you live a life you love, then what’s the point?”
John’s approach is refreshingly practical. He encourages clients to take small, manageable steps towards their goals and stresses the importance of developing healthy financial habits.
At Content Hype, we believe in a similar philosophy when it comes to content marketing. Just like financial planning, effective content marketing involves setting clear goals, taking consistent action, and aligning strategies with your brand’s values. Whether we’re recording episodes in our Melbourne podcast studio or working with clients on content marketing Melbourne, we aim to help businesses connect with their audience in meaningful ways.
The Thriving Wealth Philosophy
John’s vision for Thriving Wealth is built on three core principles: simplicity, consistency, and community. He believes financial planning should be simple enough for anyone to understand, and it should be consistent enough to deliver results over the long term. Most importantly, he wants to build a sense of community through financial literacy.
“I want people to feel like they’re part of something bigger,” John explained. “Thriving Wealth isn’t just a business—it’s a movement to help people live better lives.”
This passion for community is evident in everything John does. From supporting local charities to helping clients navigate life’s financial challenges, John is committed to making a difference. And as we recorded this episode at our Moonee Valley podcast studio, it became clear just how important local connections are to him.
