Since 2012:
- Founded or co-founded 5 companies;
- Invested in or advised 50+ others;
- and built a portfolio across property and private investments.
At 30, I survived a sudden, serious stroke. It reshaped how I see time, freedom, and energy - and why I believe entrepreneurial thinking should be the engine for a bigger life.
That moment permanently changed how I see time, energy, and what success actually means. I've been exploring the intersection of business, brain, and life ever since.
This site is where I share what I've learned, and what I'm still figuring out.
Right now I’m building DKZ Equity . Most entrepreneurs under $50m are overlooked, misinformed, or poorly represented when it comes to selling their business. We bring investment bank rigour to that market - positioning, readiness, and end-to-end M&A - so business owners enter the process in a position of strength.

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 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
- Spending time with my wife and close friend - laughing, deconstructing businesses, or ranking ice creams
And having fun along the way (otherwise, what's the point?).
