Living the digital nomad life for 20 years and loving it!

Great Ideas & Stories to Share

Looking for an entertaining guest who can inspire your audience to achieve amazing things? I'm here to help. I have fascinating tales to tell, but there's more...

I also inspire people to quit their rotten job and do what they love - turning their passion into a rewarding and profitable online business....so they can go anywhere, do anything and be anyone.

To find out how I became (probably) the world's first blogger and digital nomad, click here to read the full story.

Here are some examples of podcast episodes I have appeared on recently:

My Story: Pioneering Digital Freedom

My life changed on the day I survived drowning (in a boating accident) by the skin of my teeth. One minute I thought I was about to die - then a last-minute rescue gave me a second chance at life.

I quit my job the day I nearly drowned

I decided I wasn’t going to waste my second chance on a career I hated. I quit my rotten day job the same day and set up shop as a writer. Over 30 years later, I continue to write every day and love my career in the ever-changing world of digital marketing.

Thanks to running an online business that I love, I have been able to travel the world with my family for over 20 years. Along the way, I have had some amazing adventures, including:

Getting arrested for ‘smuggling’ a single banana (ouch!)
Catching venomous snakes for a wildlife charity (scary but fun!)
Motorbiking the 800 mountain bends from Chiang Mai to Pai (fun!)
Destroying half a Buddhist Abbott’s worldly possessions (sorry!)
Enjoying a rooftop spa bath in Budapest (great views!)
‘Flying’ in a ‘helicopter’ tuk-tuk through Bangkok (don’t ask!)
Seeing the Space Shuttle launch from Cape Canaveral (amazing!)
Getting soaked in the world’s biggest water fight (love Songkran!)
Going on the run from the Vietnamese police (I can explain!)
A road trip along Route 66 (got my kicks!)

After two decades of this 21st-century lifestyle, I am still enjoying it as much as ever. I am looking forward to new adventures in both travel and business.

Today, I am based in beautiful Thailand, but travel extensively around the world with my grown-up children - two of whom run online businesses themselves. We are a two-generation digital nomad family!

I still love to travel and see the world...

Retirement? Forget it! When you do a job you love, you never need to retire. I intend to keep living my life this way until we become a 3-generation digital nomad family...and then some!

My Ideas: Live a Life You Love!

I would love to share my thoughts on how the people in your audience can achieve transformation in their lives. Nowadays, you don’t have to be a square peg in a round hole. You can shape a hole just the way you like it, and slip yourself into it!

I inspire people to:

Quit their rotten job and do what they love
Get paid to pursue their passion and change the world
Deliver value that's worth 10x the price they charge
Create true financial freedom
Go anywhere, do anything and be anyone!

My message is that you don’t have to be trapped in your current life. Thanks to online opportunities, you can start a new life at any time. And no-one can stop you!

My background is as a direct-response copywriter, working on high-profile copywriter for many major hi-tech corporations, including:

The secrets of working with top online marketers to create best-selling products
What I've learned about building a virtual business, motivating and managing a 100% remote team across five continents.

Networking with my son Ben at the ClickBank Platinum Summit

I still love what I do, and appreciate having the opportunity to connect with the world's smartest entrepreneurs at online business events and conferences around the globe. Many of them are extraordinary experiences, especially ClickBank events:

Other Interests

run in half-marathons (the full marathon is next on my list
perform stand-up comedy from Sydney to Shanghai
play bass guitar live with bands around Thailand (fun!)
