Nick Georges' journey from footballer to director of one of Australia's fastest-growing offshore providers is a masterclass in turning setbacks into success. After his football dreams ended at 18, his painter father got him a job in real estate - a decision that would change thousands of lives across two countries. Now Director of Growth at Wingman Group, Nick oversees 1200 remote professionals working across 900 Australian and New Zealand real estate businesses. But this isn't just another offshoring story - it's about humanising remote work, building genuine relationships, and creating systems that allow property managers to handle 300+ managements while business development managers sign 35 new clients monthly. In this conversation, Nick reveals the brutal academy process where only 150 graduates emerge from 4000 monthly interviews, why most remote professional arrangements fail, and how AI will transform the industry without replacing the human element. He shares insights from working with Australia's top agents, the leadership lessons from Richard Branson that drive Wingman's culture, and why he believes the best agents focus on relationships and play the long game. From losing his licence and accidentally becoming a property management expert to meeting his future business partner at a Brisbane football game, Nick's story proves that sometimes the biggest opportunities come from unexpected detours.
