As a young boy, I grew up in a home swamped with expectations, commitments and obligations:
To have a wonderful marriage and a wonderful family.
A successful business.
To keep the family traditions and live in our traditional community.
But life, as most of us know, has a way of not always doing what is expected.
​
At just two months old, my first child Holly passed away.
My early businesses failed.
​
I did not see it, but back then, my life was filled with resentment. I pushed my extended family away, I pushed my friends and my community away. I buried myself in my work. I was angry and blaming the world. I felt alone and isolated.
​
After eighteen years of struggle, my marriage fell apart.
​
I discovered that I did not really know myself and that my expectations had kept me trapped. I was unhappy: deep down I didn't want to live that way.
​
​​So I began soul searching, and with time I came to realise that there wasn't so much a problem with the world as there was a problem inside of me: I lived from my logical mind. My grief, my anger, my pain expressed argumentatively rather than in a genuine, heartfelt and vulnerable way. I was hiding, not allowing my true self to be seen. I wasn't just disconnected from others, I was actually disconnected from my true self.
I began doing a lot of work, studying many techniques and processes to find a way to be vulnerable and true and express my deeper, genuine inner feelings. This changed everything. My heart softened. I developed an ability to foster real and meaningful connections with others and was able to come out of my isolation. This felt so much better.
My business flourished. In 2007 I developed an innovative product for the tourism industry. It was a huge success, and it became a world leader: we were able to export to over 60 cities around the world.
​
My journey was so profound, but I could feel in my heart that I wanted more: I wanted to share the deep insights and wisdom of my journey with others.
So I decided to dedicate the rest of my life to sharing what I have learnt, helping people soften their hearts and find a way to real connection and real love.
I have spent much time distilling what I have learnt and put into practice into something that anyone can learn. And I am now sharing this with anyone who could use it.
Today, I am a devoted father, partner, a successful entrepreneur, a life coach and much more.
