From $30k in his first year to scaling a high-volume brokerage on the Sunshine Coast

The drive away from dealership finance and toward a transparent, client-first model in broking has helped Luke Meisenhelter build an eight-man brokerage that is giving back.

Now the director of Mooloolaba-based Loanright Financial Services, Meisenhelter has successfully navigated the transition from a sole trader earning $30,000 in income to the leader of a successful brokerage that is supporting the local community.

Annie Kane catches up with the Better Business Awards finalist to discuss his recent experience switching aggregators to gain better data control and how he has helped raise $75,000 for charity through community-led business events.

Tune in to find out:

• How he overcame the "dark period" of moving aggregators while building a custom tech stack.
• Why he believes hiring people better than himself was the key to uncapped growth.
• The "give first" philosophy behind his Legacy Lunch that has funded the rescue of 42 children from trafficking.
