About me

Hey... thanks for checking this out.

In short, I'm an ambitious dad, husband and entrepreneur that's trying to do as much good as I can.

I'm passionate about mental health and wellbeing, business and social impact. I love culture, architecture, coffee and wine.

I believe that meaningful work is a massive contributor to wellbeing, that education can unlock this meaningful work and that all of us should do our best to lead a 'net positive' life.

This is a space for me to gather and share my thoughts, direct from me - as opposed to as a representation of any of my business interests. I hope to grow a connected community that can share experiences, ideas and inspiration and I'd love you to be involved.

My 'work'

I wear many professional hats and I wouldn't have it any other way. These include:

• Co-founder and Co-CEO of FourthRev, a global education company focused on digital skills development in partnership with amazing companies and universities.
• Founder and Director of Soar Studio, a consultancy and start-up studio that works with business leaders and entrepreneurs who are ambitious to be better. We invest in start-ups, provide advisory services and spin-out our own ventures. I've advised leaders from billion-dollar start-ups like Linktree, global organisations like PwC and Deloitte, and countless SMEs and start-ups.
• Chair of Little Big Steps, an amazing charity that helps kids with cancer through exercise medicine and technology.
• Founder and Director of men's mental health NFP, For Men Australia. We run workshops, events and an online community to help men proactively develop and maintain their mental health and wellbeing.

What I'm planning for this space

One of the things I get the most fulfilment from is working with others, whether in a 1:1 or 1:many format, around the topics of leadership.

I define leadership as helping others achieve more than they ordinarily would. This same concept can also be applied to oneself where you achieve more than your ordinarily would. As well as an organisation where it achieves more than it ordinarily would.

Through this community I'll be sharing my actionable insights across all of these areas, in various formats. Through my work I hope I can help you get more out of yourself, others and the work you do. Full transparency, I do run courses and advisory services in these areas through my consultancy and 'startup studio', Soar Studio.

You can expect a variety of materials, both written and video based, across topics like:

• Defining meaningful success for yourself;
• Figuring out your version of effective balance;
• 'Discovering' your sense of purpose... note, I don't use the word discover in a mystical sense, but instead because it's not something you can create, but instead, find;
• Building empathy and understanding;
• Communicating more effectively;
• Productivity and time management;
• Self-discipline and accountability;
• Personal performance.

Valuable content (hopefully), delivered

Each week I send an email with a mix of reflections, shared stories and actionable ideas. My hope is it can provide a mixture of inspiration, motivation and education for you to achieve more of what you'd like.
