I believe entrepreneurship should create more freedom, not less.
Freedom over your time. Freedom over your energy. Freedom over how you live.
At 30, I survived a sudden, serious stroke.
It permanently changed how I think about health, vitality, stress, success and what actually matters.
Over the last 14+ years, I’ve co-founded companies across wellness, real estate and technology, invested in or advised 50+ businesses, and spent even longer around business exits, founder decision-making and entrepreneurial thinking.
I'm particularly interested in products and services that improve health, wellbeing, fitness, longevity or human performance - both as a consumer and as companies I love to work with.
Things I believe:
- Entrepreneurship should improve your life, not consume it
- Great businesses create more optionality, not less
- The best businesses are worth both owning and selling
- Most founders wait too long to think about exits and optionality
- Energy and vitality make everything better (and are privileges not to be taken for granted)
- Money without freedom is a terrible trade
- AI should reduce friction, not humanity
Build your business. Elevate your energy. Own your freedom.

What I Do Today
Through DKZ Equity, I help health, wellness, longevity and human performance founders prepare for and navigate business sales - from early positioning and preparation, through to running the entire sale process end-to-end.
I also invest across real estate, private companies, private credit and public markets, and write about entrepreneurship, energy & freedom.
I’m still figuring plenty of this out in real time.
Increasingly, I believe the most optimal goal is the pursuit of building the life you genuinely want to live.

What I Write About
Three ideas run through everything on this site.
🚀 Entrepreneurship as an Engine for Freedom
My first meditation teacher told me: “Entrepreneurship is a window to the soul.” She was right. Entrepreneurship - and entrepreneurial thinking - should be a pathway to freedom and the engine for a bigger life.
⚡ Energy as a Strategy
Health, fitness and brain/mind optimisation aren’t “nice to haves”. They’re antidotes to the way the world tries to dull us. I treat energy as a deliberate lever for clearer thinking, stronger businesses, and experiencing life more fully.
🔑 True Freedom Through Ownership
Freedom doesn’t appear “someday.” It’s built daily. Owning and growing assets matters, but so does owning your behaviours, mindset and systems. That’s what creates true freedom.
Beyond Business
When I’m not working with entrepreneurs, I’m usually:
- Travelling, snowboarding, or soaking up a new place
- Exploring yoga, meditation, or thinking about consciousness, energy and how humans actually thrive
- Mixing a cocktail, reading about cocktails - or having one made for me
- Spending time with my wife and close friends - laughing, deconstructing businesses, or seeking out great ice cream
And having fun along the way (otherwise, what's the point?).
