I build companies for founders who want freedom, not just growth.

Art of Mondays, Founder Sports Club, WLTH WLKS, and Monday Hires. Plus a book about building a business and a life you can't wait to wake up to.

Currently: building four companies, writing, and helping founders trade hustle for freedom.

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.

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.

Evan

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 Freedom First Founder book cover

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 Hiring Playbook

    How I hire people who raise the average, not just fill a seat.

  • 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.
