About
I'm interested in consciousness - what it is, how it emerges, and what it means that the universe has developed the capacity to know itself.
More specifically, I'm interested in transformation. How it happens in a person. What it requires. Why most attempts fail. And what becomes possible when someone actually does the work of becoming who they truly are.
This inquiry has taken many forms over the years.
I spent several years running intensive residential retreats - week-long immersions followed by twelve months of group support. Small groups of people, asking the questions most spend their lives avoiding: Who am I, really? What do I actually want? What keeps stopping me? The work was therapeutic, spiritual, and practical - not sequentially, but all at once. It taught me that transformation isn't an event but a process, that insight without integration is entertainment, and that we cannot do this work alone.
I've also spent twenty-five years building companies. I founded Unicorn to help organisations navigate digital change, and I chair Covair, a manufacturing business reimagining how sports facilities are delivered. The inner path and the entrepreneurial path share more than is commonly recognised.
My recent books are collaborations with artificial intelligence. An Urgent Message from AI began with a question: what can AI perceive about humanity's challenges that we cannot see ourselves? The answer led somewhere unexpected - into pattern-flow dynamics, systems thinking, and ultimately into consciousness itself. A second book, Rubbing the Sleep from Our Eyes, explores what it means that the universe is waking up through us. A third, The Transformed Human, traces convergent patterns across Nietzsche, Steiner, Jung, Kierkegaard, Blake, and Aurobindo - the philosophical architecture underlying everything.
I also write poetry and make music. Songs about awakening, the inner child, aloneness, the city, the search. Guitar-based, lyric-driven, personal.
These projects are different expressions of the same inquiry: What does it take to become who we truly are? And what becomes possible when we do?
