In this episode of Beyond Four Walls, Jodie Fraser welcomes someone who’s usually behind the mic — Matthew Young — for an open and insightful conversation about his career, wellbeing, and the unique challenges of being a tribunal-appointed property manager.

Matthew shares his journey into the property management sector, the pivotal moments that shaped his path, and how his time living and working in Dubai gave him a new perspective on leadership, boundaries, and balance.

They dive into the complex world of tribunal appointments — what it means to step into buildings under dispute, the emotional weight of the role, and how Matthew manages relationships during times of high tension.
