MY EXPLORATION INTO MONEY, MEANING AND SERVICE

To those exploring a purpose or service driven life, which doesn’t exclude material abundance, this event is for you. Having started my career in banking and asset management in London, and finding little meaning in my life, to propelling myself into townships and non-profits in the mid 2000s, to coming full circle and working with hundreds of changemakers across the continent, and deploying millions of dollars every year. These experiences have shaped my interest in human potential, and our ability to manifest as co-creators as we tend to our pain.

IN THIS DISCUSSION, I COVER DISPERSE YET INTER-CONNECTED AREAS OF LIFE, FROM LOVE TO SOCIAL INNOVATION, TO BECOMING A FATHER, AND MY LONG (NOW FORMER) USE OF PSYCHEDELICS ...FROM GIVING MY FIRST TALK AT A WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM EVENT, TO SIMULTANEOUSLY GOING THROUGH A MENTAL COLLAPSE, AND PICKING ALL THE PIECES BACK UP.

Like anyone I’ve taken some major hits in life, but all have served to help me grow, take on larger responsibilities, and take life less seriously. I hope to share some of these stories, and help those on their journey live up to their highest ideals, and become who they ‘already’ really are and were meant to be. There are no magic pills, no three steps to a successful life, or five minute ‘abs’ to become a billionaire. Just life, as it is … mortal, raw and real. I don’t pretend to be some expert in life, but I’ve definitely learnt to celebrate my flaws, weaknesses and fragility, which ironically is providing a new source of strength, expansion and success in my endeavours, which I hope to share.
