A journo, reporter, television and radio presenter—Jim is a self-confessed sports nut who simply oozes sporting knowledge.
He’s covered some of the world’s biggest sporting events, including eight Olympic Games, British Opens, World Cup soccer, State of Origin, AFL Grand Finals, and international cricket tours of South Africa and the West Indies.
Jim also made Australian television history when he and wife Chris Bath became the first married couple to co-anchor a news bulletin—proof he’s punching above his weight!
In 2020, Jim transitioned from television to talk radio, joining 2GB as the Drive presenter.
In this episode, John Gibson and co-host Mark Warren sit down with Jim to talk all things property, media, and life. From buying his first property with his sister in Glebe during the 17–18% interest rate era, to reflecting on the long-term value of holding property—Jim shares honest stories and sharp insights from his own real estate journey.
Today, Jim is not only a respected journalist but also a highly sought-after MC and keynote speaker. His deep knowledge of sport, business, and leadership makes him a compelling storyteller. His presentations regularly explore themes like resilience, teamwork, goal setting, and performing under pressure—whether he’s coaching CEOs or leading major corporate events.
Jim’s passion for communication extends beyond the field. He is a proud advocate for medical research—a cause close to his heart after losing his young son, Sam, to brain cancer in 2010. That dedication has become a lifelong mission. In 2016, Jim also lost his sister, renowned sports journalist Rebecca Wilson, to breast cancer—deepening his commitment to cancer awareness and advocacy.
