What I do

One mission: help business owners win bigger, with less noise.

Everything I build lives under one roof — ALT. Three options available, depending on where you are and how close you want to work. Plus a podcast, a quiz, and a decade-long challenge I'm running in public.

Across the Table

I sit down with some of the most interesting business people in New Zealand. Real conversations about building, leading, and the stuff nobody puts on the highlight reel.

The Challenge
$10 Million
in 10 Years.

One goal: build $10 million in 10 years, and share the whole journey. The wins, the mistakes, and what I learn along the way.

I'm fascinated by people who have scaled and the technology that helps them do it. I'm curious, and I'm always working to remove constraints — mine and other people's. It's why I love business.

What I'm building toward is simple: a lean, profitable business and time that's worth more than money. Less width, more depth. This site is where I keep track of it, out loud.
