my education

Hey friend, 

I always knew there was more available to me, more than the accepted poverty of experience that I witnessed around me in school. 

At 14/15 i found myself inside of 3 schools within 12 months

Because I could not play the game, I could not accept the unacceptable

I could not pretend that was what was common was worthy of me.

So i began to explore ….

In my exploration and thru courage,  I got into online business and began to make more money than my teachers while in still in school.

I eventually dropped out and I decided to create my own education.

At 18, I left all I had known in Australia and booked a one way flight to Israel, to experience the world and to ask questions that no one was going to ask for me.

Little did I know my accommodation would actually be in the Ramallah, in the heart of Palestine. 

The great adventure began. And what would unfold would change everything that I thought I knew.

And since I have spent a bit more than 4 years of my life travelling the world from North Africa, all throughout Europe, North America, Latin America, the Middle East.

My education was the world. 

My education was the online businesses I built.

My education was the people & experiences I encountered.

My education was everything that I had to face on the way.

So far I’ve travelled or lived in 64 countries. 

I’ve built 3 business that have done multiple 7 figures in revenue. 

And I have received the greatest education that I could have ever imagined. 

In business

In “personal development” 

In health

In relationships 

In culture & the world

From fighting in the barrios of mexico city

Busking through-out the Baltics 

To surfing in the arctic circle

Ayahuasca and the whole psychedelics journey 

Motorcycle journeys through the Andes 

But more than any of that, the great journey in me.

And the love that I found for myself. 

The common path of education is in a state of absolute poverty.

Young people going into debt, to be trained to become debt servicing slaves.

Convinced by people who never did anything or created anything, to give up the dreams in their heart for a 4 year degree & a soul destroying desk job. 

The ancient universities of greece were places of excellence, of questioning, of seeking, of courage.

Now our universities are nothing more than state funded centres for conformity & mediocrity. 

If you wanted something more, the only answer has been to walk into the complete unknown and try and create something for yourself.

To go beyond what is common and create something new. 

That is what I have done. And during this time I have written a book for those who wish to do the same.

It is what I wish I was given as a 14, 16, 18 year old, with endless dreams being crippled by anger and frustration in the system that found myself in. 

Whether you are 14, 18, 25…. This book is an invitation for you, if you want more than the common, accepted poverty of the schooling & university system.

This book is for the courageous. Who are willing to let go of everything else, in order to receive themselves for what they truly are.
