Updated 10th October 2026, from my home in the UK - where the mornings are sunnier than you might expect!
Right now, I'm focused on 4 things:
1. Building DKZ Equity
DKZ helps entrepreneurs sell their businesses, without regrets.
We work with health, wellbeing, fitness, longevity and human performance businesses in the UK, US and Canada. We often talk years before any potential transaction.
I started DKZ because I saw founders spend years building successful companies, only to get stuck in expensive and stressful exit processes that are poorly managed and often stacked against them.
There is clearly room for better preparation, better advice, better execution and better outcomes. I'm building the M&A firm I wish more founders had in their corner.
My goal is to build the best health and wellness M&A firm in the world. The early signs are encouraging.
2. Entrepreneurship, Energy & Freedom
My writing, speaking and content explore these three themes.
After a few years away from it, I'm writing more, guesting on podcasts again, speaking more and getting back into content.
🚀 Entrepreneurship as an Engine for Freedom - Entrepreneurship isn't just about building businesses; it should also be a vehicle for creating more freedom, opportunity, and a bigger life.
⚡ Energy as a Strategy - Energy is a strategic advantage. It fuels better thinking, stronger execution, and a richer experience of life.
🔑 True Freedom Through Ownership - True freedom is built through ownership - of your choices, behaviours, and the assets that give you greater control over your future.

3. Investing for Freedom
Outside of DKZ, I continue to grow a portfolio of investments across real estate, private credit, private companies and public markets.
The goal is not maximum wealth (my "number" is quite modest in comparison to most entrepreneurs). The goal is cash flow, optionality and long-term freedom.
I'm a big fan of the ideas in Die With Zero.
4. Becoming Better
I'm working on fitness, discipline, energy and consistency.
Less complexity.
Less distraction.
More intention.
More focus.
Becoming a better entrepreneur, investor, husband and human.
Current Interests
Lately I've been thinking a lot about:
- Vitality and energy
- What makes a good life
- Consciousness and meditative practices
- Business, exits and raising the bar for M&A
- AI and where it should (and shouldn't) be used
A Few Things I Believe
- Entrepreneurship should improve your life, not consume it
- Great businesses create more options, not fewer
- 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
Outside of "work" usually looks like...
Travel.
Reading fiction.
Good conversations.
Time with people I care about.
Ice cream (particularly tinkering with protein ice cream at home).
