Never just one thing, never just one place
I’ve never been someone who fits neatly into a box. I’ve tried—but the edges always felt too sharp, the walls too tight, the labels too limiting.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to movement. Not just the kind that takes you across continents—though I’ve done plenty of that—but the kind that refuses to stay still within. Reinvention isn’t just something I do; it’s something I am.
At 19, I made a quiet vow to myself: I would figure out how to work from my laptop so I could live untethered—free to roam, create, and explore. It took nearly a decade—failed attempts, pivots, lessons learned the hard way—but at 28, I finally cracked the code. The internet became my playground, and I became a full-time creator, never bound to one place, one job, or one way of being.
Then, the world opened up.
In 2017, out of 50,000 applicants, I won the Best Job on the Planet, traveling to 12 luxury homes across the globe. What started as a dream gig quickly became something more—a realization that I could shape my own reality if I was bold enough to claim it.
From there, I built a business from my passion: self-portraiture. I pioneered the Advanced Selfie movement, not just as a photography technique but as a way for people to see themselves differently—to take up space, own their image, and express themselves fearlessly.
But reinvention has always been part of my DNA. I’ve been the photographer, the storyteller, the entrepreneur, the explorer. I’ve built things, burned them down, and built again. I’ve spoken on stages, lived in remote corners of the world, disappeared into solitude, and re-emerged with new perspectives. Every version of me has been true. Every chapter necessary.
And then, at 33, I did something just for me—I became a musician, finally releasing my own music across all platforms. Because why not?
After a decade of living across the world, I felt the pull to return to my roots. Australia—the place where it all began. But I couldn’t just settle; I had to explore it fully, the only way I know how. So, I built NEILA, my beast of a 4x4, and set out to uncover the depths of this land, seeing it through new eyes.
Through all of it—the travel, the reinvention, the constant movement—one thing has remained the same: my commitment to freedom. Not just the physical kind, but the freedom to think differently, to question, to grow, to share the raw and honest reality of what it means to live life outside the lines.
I’ve been an online persona for over a decade, but I’ve never wanted to just be a face on a screen. I want to have real conversations, explore what it truly means to be free, and challenge the way we think about life.
So, if you’re here, welcome. Let’s keep evolving.
For those who want to learn from me:
My Advanced Selfie course and best-selling book have helped over 10,000 people step in front of the camera with confidence.
On Skillshare, over 60,000 students have joined me to craft an authentic online presence.
Through Public Figure Bootcamp, I’ve mentored 4,000+ students on mastering their digital identity.
But numbers aren’t the story—the story is the journey. And I hope, in some way, mine inspires you to live yours, untamed and unfiltered.
