As part of Business Unboxed, we’re thrilled to welcome Evan Lucas, one of Australia’s most trusted and recognisable voices on the economy, financial markets and the behaviour behind our decisions.

An economic futurist, bestselling author of Mind over Money and a familiar face across ABC News Breakfast, Channel 9’s TODAY, The Project and Sky News, Evan blends macroeconomics, demographics and behavioural science to explain the forces shaping what comes next.

He’s known for making economics not just accessible, but genuinely useful — cutting through the headlines to show what the data actually means for business owners, leaders and the communities they operate in.

Expect sharp insight, a few challenges to conventional thinking, and practical takeaways you can apply to your own planning.

Whether you’re navigating rising costs, shifting consumer behaviour or simply trying to plan with confidence, this is a rare opportunity to hear from a national commentator right here in Bendigo.
