About the speaker
Andrew David Courtney, a Griffith Uni alumni, fell in love with the idea of financially educating people as a medical researcher studying breast cancer. Pivoting 6 months into his PhD led him to work at one of Brisbane’s prestigious research institutes studying development pathways whilst completing a Master of Commerce in 2012.
He has since transitioned out of science and is now running two businesses – Plenitude Wealth & Plenitude Lend, a financial planning firm and mortgage broking business. His passion for increasing the financial literacy of Australians has led him to make hundreds of videos on Instagram, LinkedIn and is constantly working on making more YouTube content.
Team Plenitude and Andrew’s mission is to educate 1 million Australians before Plenitude reaches 10 years in business. His vision is to educate, empower and guide Aussies to financial resiliency and to ultimately create a community of multimillionaire philanthropists who support the causes they believe in wholeheartedly.
