Mental Fitness Speaker, Author & Professional Idiot.

I help people and organisations upgrade how they think, work, and live – so they can experience life more fully.

To make that point I have floated 425 kilometres down a river on an $8 lilo, built the world’s longest waterslide, and walked the entire length of New Zealand in 89 days. All of it for the same reason: nobody listens to a pamphlet.

WHAT I BELIEVE...

Life doesn’t need to be bigger, it just needs to make sense.

We spend years optimising everything and convincing ourselves it’ll eventually feel right, then get exactly what we said we wanted and still feel off. That isn’t failure, it’s misalignment; the gap between the life you have and the person you are. Closing it has little to do with doing more, because a small internal shift changes how you experience the same life, and that’s usually where things start to click.

Everyone sits somewhere on the Mental Fitness Continuum, from severe discomfort at one end to genuine contentment at the other, and where you sit today isn’t where you have to sit; you move along it constantly, in both directions. What decides the direction is the 3 C’s: Constant Conscious Choices, made inside an environment you’ve built so the right ones are easy and the wrong ones aren’t.

STUPID THINGS I'VE DONE & WHY...

When I was younger I was a sponsored cliff diver, topping out at 33m, and I founded a company building and racing downhill skateboards at 101km/h, and I hitch-hike raced from Hamilton to Bluff and back, plus a lot of other silly things for my mates and I…

But in 2012, after a few years of depression and the usual advice not working, I swam 425km down the Waikato River on an $8 lilo from The Warehouse. It generated over a million dollars of coverage about mental health. → Lilo The Waikato

In 2013 I dug a 554m waterslide into a hillside, then built an inflatable one that took the Guinness World Record and 18 million YouTube views. → The World’s Longest Waterslide

Then I walked 3,025 kms from Cape Reinga to Bluff in 90 days, with a live tracker so any stranger could find me and walk alongside. 85 of them did. → Walking Home

None of them were stunts for the sake of it, though I accept they look like it. Each one got people to voluntarily pay attention while I said something about mental fitness they’d otherwise have scrolled past.
