I take a different approach than most “experts” out there
Welcome to the tribe. I’m not here to create more followers. I’m here to create more leaders. Truly great leaders know it’s about paving the way for the next generation.
I incorporate spirituality and lifestyle into business, so I know what it means to live holistically without sacrificing what is important to you and your wellbeing so you can truly be the highest expression of yourself.
My 7 Core Values
LOVE
LIMITLESS
LEARNING
SHARING
ADVENTURE
FREEDOM
CREATIVITY
And this is my story...
OCD Me
What can I say? Even as a kid, I was an extreme and passionate mfkr!
When I was into something, I’d go all f*ckin' in.
I loved going to school and producing my best work, so getting straight A’s and topping my favourite classes was second nature for me.
I was also obsessed with music.
When I wasn’t practicing guitar (or miming my favourite Bon Jovi songs in the mirror), I was writing and recording original songs using my first drum machine and a dodgy double cassette deck.
My childlike curiosity still drives me today, and fuels my mission to forever be the infinite learner and playful creator.
I taught myself to record release-quality albums, which have been played on Nova, Triple J & MTV.

Fraternising
I still can’t believe I married the hottest, most beautiful girl I know. xx
I taught Yvette guitar lessons when she was only 16, but she was terribly naughty and never practiced.
I didn’t care, though - obviously.
I asked her out for 3 years before she finally said ‘yes’ - which was about 24 years ago, now! Damn!
Music = Meditation
I had the time of my life playing in various bands as a young dude.
My main band, National Pornographic (2002 - 2007), played hundreds of gigs to tens of thousands of people across Australia.
NP was never about songs or musicianship.
It was about energy.
Our goal was to make the crowd feel part of the band, and vice versa.
We’d absorb their energy and spew it back at ‘em, 10-fold. :)
For me, music is meditation.
It makes time disappear and frees me of concern and allows you to be the truest version of yourself.
It makes time disappear, as we ride frequencies of flow and universal love.
It dissipates time, and allows us to communicate with frequency and flow.
So much fun, man.
Bending Reality
FACT: Heightening the emotion and novelty of an event helps imprint it to your long-term memory.
So I always endeavor to get a little ridiculous when documenting our lives with photos and videos.
It’s super fun to do and creates sentimental pieces to always look back upon and smile.
Life In The Front Row
Whether I’m moshing on stage with my favourite bands, or sneaking backstage to meet them, I always park myself in the epicenter of the action.
‘Living life in the front row’ is a metaphor that drives me to make shit happen and live my very best life.
I also manifested collab’ing with one of the world’s most talenting MC’s, MC $pyda. We made some bangin’ tunes together back when I lived in London.

Game of Homes
After deciding to pursue something other than music, I became obsessed with property, thinking it was my ticket to financial freedom and happiness. (Spoiler alert, it wasn’t.)
Nonetheless, I built a $3M portfolio, purchasing 11 investment properties in the space of 4 years. I was so obsessed, I even became a mortgage broker, so I could write my own home loans and fasttrack my epic mic drop.
Once I purchased 11 properties, I started my own wealth and finance company, Prez Home Loans (2015 - 2022): where we helped hundreds of other people secure over half a billion dollars worth of property for themselves.
Adventure Prevents Dementia
Adventure is not only the best antidote to brain-aging, it’s fun AF.
So when we travel, we show up like we’re embarking on the adventure of a lifetime.
Here’s a shortlist of crazy-cool we’ve done whilst travelling:
- Volunteered on organic farms in Italy.
- Hosted up to 24 guests in a ski chalet in the beautiful French Alps.
- Parasailed off Mont Blanc, France.
- Taken a helicopter ride over the River Thames in London.
- Bungee jumped and black water rafted in New Zealand.
- Consumed 14 pizza’s in as many days in Italy. (Where else?)
- Heavy metal karaoke and Super Mario karting on the streets of Tokyo.
- Snow monkeys and wildly bizarre cafes.
- We’ve been scammed in the crazy souks of Marrakesh.
- And stayed in Fred Flintstone like caves deep in Turkey.
And accommodation-wise, we’ve stayed in all kinds of rad places.
Like medieval castles in Scotland to converted cathedrals in Italy.
Heck, we once stayed right on top of the trevi Fountain, literally.
Just recently, we stayed in a luxury treehouse in the lush hills of Phuket.
Surprise Keeps Us Young
I love surprising and delighting my family, friends and clients with unexpected nuggets of awesome.
For example, with the help of my kids and the Milky Lane manager, I secretly turned our living room into a Milky Lane restaurant for Yvette’s birthday during lockdown.
Other birthday surprises include taking a limo to Macca’s, and converting our boat into a pirate ship (as you do).
Naughty & Nice
A pic with fake Santa is so 1980’s, right?
So we’ve made it a tradition to do a crazy-cool Christmas pic or video each year.
The kids think we’re crazy when we do it, but we know they’ll look back on it one day and love it (we hope!).
Door-Opening Parents:
Open As Many Rabbit Holes As You Can
As parents, we feel it’s our responsibility to expose our kids to as many things as possible.
Who knows - a random spark of interest in the most unlikely thing today may lead to their life’s passion and mission.
Open as many doors as possible, and respect their decision to tumble down the rabbit hole or try the next door.
