Why Mindset Matters (And Why I’m the One to Talk About It)
This Didn’t Start as a Keynote Career
Two years ago, I stood on the TEDx Sydney stage. At the time, I was still best known for stage shows and mentalism. But something shifted that day. I realised the real magic wasn’t in the tricks—it was in the moment people saw the world differently.
Since then, I’ve delivered keynotes for some of Australia’s biggest companies. But the journey to becoming a mindset speaker didn’t come from a marketing strategy. It came from lived experience—things like being colour blind without knowing it, discovering I have aphantasia, sitting in silence for 10 days straight, and running some of the hardest ultramarathons in the world.
Each one of those moments forced me to confront how I think—and why that matters.
Why Mindset Matters (And Why I’m the One to Talk About It)
I’m not your average motivational speaker. I’m not here to read slides, quote someone else’s success story, or sell you a morning routine. I’m here to help people understand how their own mind is shaping their results, relationships, and resilience—often without them even realising it.
I use mentalism to illustrate how easily we can be influenced, hypnosis to show the power of belief, and personal stories to ground it all in something real.
Whether I’m talking about recovering from addiction, running 100km through the mountains, or how it feels to navigate the world without a mind’s eye, it all points to one thing:
You can’t change anything in your life until you change the way you see it.
Not Just a Talk—It’s a Wake-Up Call
Clients don’t book me just to “motivate” a room. They tell me they bring me in because I do something different—something that actually sticks.
I create moments that catch people off guard, make them laugh, and hit them right in the gut. My talks aren’t about theory—they’re about experience.
I use:
Live mentalism and psychological illusions
Personal stories from real transformation
Interactive moments that get people leaning forward
Science-backed tools that teams can apply right away
It’s mindset training—but with a twist. No fluff. No clichés. Just straight-up insight delivered in a way people remember.
Why Brands Keep Bringing Me Back
Over the years, I’ve had the chance to speak for teams at Google, Amazon, and fast-growing startups. And they keep booking me for one simple reason: it works.
Here’s what they say they love:
The talks are tailored around leadership, mindset, innovation, or communication
The sessions are interactive—not just a lecture
I balance entertainment with evidence and practical value
I ground everything in psychology and lived experience—not pop motivation
I actually walk the talk
Every talk is built for that audience, in that moment, with a clear takeaway.
Who I’m Best For
If your team’s coasting on autopilot…
If you want something fresh—something people talk about weeks later…
If you’re tired of motivational speakers who sound like they copied each other’s slides…
I’m your guy.
I design keynotes for:
Leadership offsites and retreats
Sales kickoffs and strategy days
Conferences, summits, and team events
Any moment where you need your people to think differently
And when they do? That’s where the magic happens.
