My Path • What I Write About • Beyond Business
(pronounced Neer-udge, rhymes with judge)
I believe in:
- Entrepreneurship as an engine to freedom.
- Energy as a strategy.
- True freedom from ownership.
I write about, believe in and try to live by those 3 pillars.
What do I do?*
I help entrepreneurs sell their companies (or make them truly worth keeping).
I'm a 5x founder, 50+x investor/advisor and an M&A advisor working directly with business owners on exits, strategy and clarity.
💡
Through my firm DKZ Equity, I support entrepreneurs who want to exit with intention, or build toward a high-value outcome with more clarity, control and optionality.
Whether you're 36 months out or in the middle of a live deal, I help you move strategically, and navigate your next moves with clarity and confidence.
*Imho a lazy or clumsy question, as none of us are defined by our "job", but it's what people often ask so here we are 🙃. There's more about what else I do with my life below.

My Path Here
At 30, I had a sudden, serious stroke that should’ve left serious lasting damage.
Instead, I walked away almost fully intact.
Pure, dumb luck.
That moment changed everything.
It pushed me to become deeply intentional about how I live, work and grow.
I’ve been exploring the intersection of business, brain and life ever since.
Since then...
I’ve founded or co-founded 5 businesses across real estate, wellness and tech - and have had the privilege to invest in or advise over 50 other businesses across Europe and North America.
This site is where I share what I’ve learned - and what I’m still figuring out.
What I Write About
🚀 Entrepreneurship as an Engine for Freedom
My first meditation teacher said: “Entrepreneurship is a window to the soul.” She was right. It can also be a powerful pathway to freedom.
⚡ Energy as a Strategy
Health, fitness and brain/mind optimisation aren’t “nice to haves” - they’re cheat codes. I treat energy as a strategic lever for clearer thinking, better business and a life in HD.
🔑 True Freedom Through Ownership
Freedom doesn’t arrive “someday” - and it’s not just about owning and growing assets (though that matters). True freedom also comes from owning your systems, behaviours and mindset - day by day.

Beyond Business
When I’m not working with business owners, I’m usually:
- Travelling, snowboarding, or soaking up a new place
- Practising yoga, meditation or exploring human consciuousness
- Mixing a cocktail, reading about cocktails - or having one made for me
- Laughing and sharing life with the love of my life
- Working out, writing or getting lost in a good story
- Building my freedom-focused investment portfolio
- Spending time with friends - usually entrepreneurs… talking business, life or ice cream rankings.
And having fun along the way (otherwise, what's the point?).
