Updated 8th July 2026, from my home in the UK, where we (surprisingly) catch a lot of sunshine, especially in the mornings.
Right now I'm focused on 4 things:
1. Building DKZ Equity
DKZ helps founders make better business and life decisions through strategic advice, exit readiness and founder-led M&A advisory. 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 advisory firm I wish more founders had in their corner.
Our focus is on founders in the UK, USA & Canada building in health, wellbeing, fitness, longevity or human performance.

2. Entrepreneurship, Energy & Freedom
I believe entrepreneurship should increase freedom, and not destroy health, relationships, energy and options.
Energy and vitality aren't luxuries.
They shape how fully we experience life and how effectively we operate.
My writing, speaking and content explore these themes. After a few years away from it, I'm writing more, agreeing to speak on podcasts again and getting back into content.
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 (mainly tinkering with protein ice cream at home).
