Cherie Barber runs Australia's leading renovation course Renovating for Profit, and is a household name due to her appearances on Today Tonight, The Living Room, and her starring role in HGTV’s Five Day Flip. Now with over 110 renovations under her belt, Barber freely admits she came into her renovation and TV careers by accident, but it was the best thing that happened to her.

Join us as we discuss how she went from high school dropout to Australia’s renovation queen, taking her family’s troubles and turning them into motivation and inspiration. We’ll delve into her first uneasy steps on the property ladder, where she discovered the importance of doing your due diligence, and how that led to her third step selling for just under $1 million! You’ll also hear about how she ended up the star of a US renovation show, and the neighbourhood party that showed that sometimes the wealthiest people can come from nothing yet end up on one of Sydney’s most prestigious streets.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
