Shane Brealey doesn’t just build buildings—he builds movements. After leading Multiplex NZ and founding NZStrong, he made what he calls his “Jerry Maguire” exit: walking away from corporate power to do things on his own terms. Since then, he’s gone from construction heavyweight to housing reformer, using his deep industry knowledge to deliver affordable, high-quality homes through NZ Living and now Simplicity Living.

In this episode, I sat down with Shane to unpack the psychology of leaving big business, the truth about what most developers get wrong, and why he believes the best deals aren’t the biggest—they’re the ones that change lives. Whether you’ve exited already or are thinking about what’s next, this one’s a blueprint for building again—with more clarity, impact, and heart.
