Chase Your Dream
In 2019, at the age of 26, I delivered my inaugural keynote presentation titled "Chase Your Dream." This marked the beginning of my journey as a speaker before I knew it, a pivotal moment for my current career to begin five years later in 2024. The keynote chronicled my daring transition from leaving Australia to pursue a life in Los Angeles armed with nothing but a credit card of a few thousand dollars and no Plan B.
​
I shared the principles that guided me through this challenging journey, emphasizing the power of positivity and resilience. The presentation highlighted key aspects of my success, such as setting goals, cultivating an early morning routine, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, nurturing curiosity for continuous learning, and finding joy in the pursuit.
​
Fast forward to 2023, and I stand as a testament to the fruition of my vision — a full-time speaker and entrepreneur. The last five years have been a transformative experience that has shaped not only my career but also my philosophy on life. The lessons learned and principles upheld during those initial stages continue to resonate, serving as a source of inspiration for those on their own path of chasing dreams.
Unlock Your Potential
Keep your head down, stay in your own lane. Don’t look at what someone else has, rather, look at what you have. Look at what you can do better. There is always something there. The glitter and gold you desire is often hollow and burdensome. Keep that in mind. The less you desire the more you will always have.
Stay relentless in your work, particularly for a man. From it derives our sustenance that is needed to take care of many others, not just ourselves, and that is always a part of our purpose. Remember that wealth takes time. And costs a fortune to get there. Time is an investment, watch it wisely. Experience is a gift, reflect upon it.
Raise your head up when you walk. Confidence doesn’t require money. See and appreciate who and what you have in front of you all the time. Even when you’re alone, God is right in front of you. Just look inward to see him. The tree dies in fall and is resurrected in spring. In that is a message to maintain humility.
