The Deal Most Buyers Would Have Avoided [Webinar]
Wed, Jul 15, 9:00 AMDear property investor, **Note: please [register](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/webinar.html?utm_source=drn&utm_campaign=webinar) to attend the workshop via Zoom.** Most investors say they want to find better property deals. But would they recognise one if it looked like a problem? That is what makes this Wednesday night’s live case study so useful. Grant Stevens found an off-market property opportunity that many buyers probably would have avoided... It wasn't clean. It wasn't simple. And it definitely wasn't the kind of deal that looked easy from the outside. See the real deal breakdown here. The existing property was neglected, flea-infested and full of rubbish. The second lot had old sheds, missing services, title complications, sewer problems and a long list of issues that needed to be solved. Most buyers would have seen risk, delay and mess. Grant saw something else. A way to structure the project, solve the problems and turn a messy property into a serious profit opportunity. This Wednesday night, Results Mentoring property mentor Brendan Kelly will interview active investor Grant Stevens live and unpack the full story: **[Register here to attended the webinar](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/webinar.html?utm_source=drn&utm_campaign=webinar)** Grant will walk through: • How he found the deal off-market • Why most buyers would have seen problems instead of opportunity • How the probate period gave him time to plan • How the project was structured • What went wrong with the renovation, services, title and finance • How the numbers were put together • What he would do differently • What active investors can learn from the deal in the current market This is not a theory session. It is a real deal breakdown showing how profit can be created by solving real property problems — especially in a market where simply buying and waiting is no longer enough. If you are interested in renovation, dual occupancy, small development, off-market deals or manufacturing value in the current market, this will be worth attending live. **[Register here](https://events.resultsmentoring.com/webinar.html?utm_source=drn&utm_campaign=webinar)** to join Brendan and Grant this Wednesday at 7pm AEST. Regards, Tony

Streaming systems, hidden risks, and AI-driven consequences
Mon, Jul 27, 7:30 AM* Topic: Streaming systems, hidden risks, and AI-driven consequences * Date: Monday 27th July 2026 at 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm * Networking: 5:30 pm - 6:00 pm and 6:45 pm - 7:30 pm * Presentation Time: 6:00 pm - 6.45 pm *(includes welcome, presentation 30 mins & community marketplace)* * Location: Thoughtworks HQ Level 35/360 Collins St, Melbourne VIC 3000 * Ticket: Free of cost, however, registrations and RSVP are required! * Sponsor: Thoughtworks, Confluent **Abstract** Modern AI systems don’t rely on static datasets, they depend on continuous streams of real-time data to train, update, and make decisions. We explore streaming data pipelines as a critical attack vector for AI-driven applications. Instead of targeting models directly, attackers manipulate the data flowing into them. By injecting, modifying, or replaying events, adversaries poison training data, distort real-time features, and influence decisions without detection. We’ll examine how these attacks work in practice, from subtle data drift to targeted event injection, and why traditional security measures fall short. We’ll look at key weaknesses in modern pipelines and explore defensive strategies that go beyond infrastructure security. **About The Speaker** Olena is a Staff Developer Advocate at Confluent and a recognized expert in data streaming and analytics. With two decades of experience in software engineering, she has built mission-critical applications, led high-performing teams, and driven large-scale technology adoption at industry leaders like Nokia, HERE Technologies, AWS, and Aiven. A passionate advocate for real-time data processing and AI-driven applications, Olena empowers developers and organizations to use the power of streaming data. She is an AWS Community Builder, a dedicated mentor, and a volunteer instructor at a nonprofit tech school, helping to shape the next generation of engineers. As an international speaker and thought leader, Olena regularly presents at top global conferences, sharing deep technical insights and hands-on expertise. Whether through her talks, workshops, or content, she is committed to making complex technologies accessible and inspiring innovation in the developer community.
