💥 80% of small businesses listed for sale never find a buyer.
💥 Most owners leave money on the table (or walk away empty-handed).
💥 The #1 reason? They’re not prepared financially, operationally, or strategically.

Selling a business isn’t just a transaction. It’s a transformation. And that starts now.

You need to be remarkable to stand out from the crowd

I've always done things differently. My journey in small business has been rewarding, terrifying, exciting, punishing and worth every second. I worked my ass off to build my skill set to set up me for success, but to also give others access to what I know. I have built several businesses in my time. Some great, some not so. But damn I've learned a lot along the way. I have a Bachelor of Engineering (Civil), an MBA (Marketing, Finance & Entrepreneurship) and studied at MIT's Sloan School of Business.

Created Two $10m+ Revenue Businesses

I ran Cheese Therapy (Australia's largest online artisan cheese retailer) and created Max+Tom (artisan cheese range). I have had a successful medical device company that had distribution through 1,500 pharmacies and had a chain of 7 hair salons (I know, random!). There's loads more on top of this. In 2022 I had the privilege of delivering a TEDx talk about why people around the World should support small artisan producers. Some of the other recent random things I have done:

  • Swimming the English Channel (2018)
  • The 6th Australian to swim an Ice Mile (2019)
  • The first person in the World to attempt to swim the English Channel in Winter (2019)
  • Ran 120km in 24hrs on an athletics track (2024)

I love trying new things and seeing what happens. My favourite saying is
"If you aint the lead dog, the scenery never changes"
