CORPORATE BRANDSARE DEAD.THE FUTUREBELONGS TO PEOPLE.

I started Culture Kings with my wife Tahnee from a market stall on the Gold Coast. Grew it to a $600M exit. Zero investors. Zero debt. Now I invest in operators who build the same way.

Where I Put My Money

I HUNT BUSINESSES THAT ARE HARD TO BUILD & IMPOSSIBLE TO FAKE.

The experience economy. Events. Hospitality. Live entertainment. AI can't replace the feeling of being in a room with 800 people. But it can radically optimise how you fill that room, run it, and make money from it.

I look for businesses with real moats. Venues. Audiences. Cultural relevance. Things you can't spin up in a weekend. Then I rebuild the operating model AI-first. Better margins. Faster decisions. Demand created at scale.

I've spent my life hunting the alpha edge in marketing. This is the next alpha. The window is open right now.

FOR SERIOUS OPERATORS

No sales pages. No funnels. Two rooms for operators who've already built something real.

Community

One Life Club

The biggest problem I kept hearing from founders? They weren't creating demand. They were capturing it. This room fixes that. 500+ operators. Average turnover north of $10M. Invitation only.
