Founder · Writer · Traveller · Human
Hi, I'm Evan. I build things for founders who want freedom, not just growth.
Four companies right now, run from a laptop wherever I happen to be in the world. Plus a book, and a lot of trying to actually enjoy this crazy thing called life.
Currently: in the South of France in a heat wave, prepping Camp Mondays (100 founders taking over a village), and sneaking in beach reading when I can.
Who I am
More than the companies.
Health, travel, good people. Everything I build comes back to those three.
I grew up between Melbourne and Hollywood, and these days I don't really live anywhere. I travel full-time, hosting events around the world for founders who'd rather build a life than just a company.
Twenty years of soccer, ten of Aussie footy, and an only-child's habit of needing a bit of space to recharge. I want to see the world and make memories while I'm young enough to enjoy them.
In my twenties I tried a lot of things. Photography, video, a travel blog, freelance writing, even a health supplement brand I got ready to launch and then shelved. There was always passion, but never a hell yes, always an almost. You have to try a bunch of things to find the one, and when you find it, you go all in.
So I build companies around what I actually value. Art of Mondays works because Jai and I built it for ourselves, so we're always, in a way, building for the people we are.

What I'm creating at the moment.
Build for yourself. The right people follow.
-
Art of Mondays
A community for ambitious founders building meaningful, profitable companies on their own terms.
-
Founder Sports Club
Founders connecting through sport, health, and real friendship. Not networking events, not warm beer.
-
WLTH WLKS
A community for ambitious women in business, connecting locally on monthly walks and globally online.
-
Monday Hires
Pre-vetted, top 1% global talent for founders, at up to 70% less than hiring locally.
And when I'm not building businesses... I make videos, take photos, pet kitties, drink matcha (I'm off the coffee), and write. About travel, usually.
Build a business you don't need a holiday from.
The dream
Where this is all going.
I want to build a life where I wake up calm and excited at the same time. Driven, but not running on empty. A reality where I'm constantly inspired, where I get paid to learn and to be around good people.
And I want whatever I build to send out ripples, more abundance, happiness, health, and adventure in other people's lives, the same way it's brought all of that into mine.
The right people can change everything.
The Freedom First Founder.
Success without the sacrifice. Hustle culture lied. Build a business and a life you can't wait to wake up to. The field manual for founders who want both.
Free playbooks.
Some of the systems I actually use, written up so you can use them too. Drop your email and I'll send them over.

The Lead Gen Playbook
The system I use to bring in leads without burning out on content.
Latest from YouTube.
I film and write as I go. Partly to help other founders, partly because I want to remember it. We're building something while we're young enough to enjoy it, and that feels worth keeping.
