The Community

You don't cross a threshold alone.

We keep it small on purpose. In a world where AI means all the information is already out there, the highest-value thing we offer is not more content. It is direct connection: actually speaking to Daniel and Richard, live.

Every month

A rhythm you can actually keep.

Workshop calls: the "what" and the "how"

The "what" calls (also public) explain what to do. The "how" calls are where we walk you through it and do it with you, because doing it with you is the one thing that separates success from failure.

Tactical sprint calls

For Silver and Gold. Specific and hands-on, run solo by Daniel or Richard. Right now, a lot on using AI well, but always anchored in why you are using it, never getting lost in it.

Monthly Ask Us Anything

For Silver and Gold. One call a month, Daniel and Richard alternating, where you bring any question and get the answer from people who have already done it.

Two-to-ones and the Hive

For Gold. A quarterly two-to-one with both of us, plus a monthly Hive Mastermind in a group of no more than seven, to keep you on point.

We ask one question relentlessly: why? Why are you doing what you are doing? If you are not clear on the why, don't do it.

Working side by side

Not a logo and a landing page. Real people, doing the work, together.

Where it lives

Calls on Zoom. Conversation on WhatsApp. Everything else in our own private portal, which we built ourselves: your billing, your membership, the group, the calendars, and every workbook and worksheet. No Slack, no Skool, no Circle.

Retreats

Where the work goes face to face.

The Mayan Riviera Gathering

Our first, Mexico, 2024. Ten people, a week built as an arc: arrival, a catamaran day on the water, a slower chill day, an ancient day at the Mayan ruins of Coba with a community elder, a rebirth day deep in the jungle for a temazcal, a cenote and a cacao ceremony, and a fiesta day to close. Woven through it: a welcome dinner with a live singer, a mezcal tasting with a storyteller on the history of tequila and mezcal, a sound bath, private chefs, a fire show, and long unhurried meals. One member afterwards: exhausting, and my favourite day by far. It changed me.

What's next

The next gathering is also in Mexico, a deep immersion of the self, details to follow. Richard also hosts mini-retreats for members at his home deep in the Bali rice fields: a completely switched-off experience.

For Your Next Chapter

Fireside chats.

Once a month, just for our Gold members, we light a fireside. It started because we noticed something. When we began, it was all of us talking, peer to peer. As it grew and became more about leadership, we lost that. We missed it. We love the people in this community, and we wanted one space to just be with them, as equals.

So this is the most relaxed you will ever see us. Daniel and Richard, sat back, a beer or a cup of tea, talking with our members for an hour about whatever comes up. Some of it daft and silly, some of it the deepest conversation you will have all month.

In a world of polarity, noise and confusion, sometimes all you want is a heartfelt, honest conversation with people you can be open with. You will still get pushback and good questions, that is the point. It is just a space to speak, openly, with like-minded people.

The room

This is not a Facebook group.

Daniel and Richard, live and unscripted

You are not a number here, you are part of something. We branch wildly from normal, and we look for the people who never quite fit the script: get a job, get a fence, get a house with a front garden, a couple of kids and a dog, agree with the government, say nothing outside your lane, pat your neighbour on the back, and shut the f*ck up. We don't do that.

We promote sovereignty, a life on your terms, and the hardest question that should be the easiest: what the f*ck do you actually want, and why? Once you are clear on that, we help you get to it. Every quarter we orient you back to the true north you set, with clear, actionable steps. We clear the blockers holding you back, and push you on your way. Every month at the mastermind, we help remove whatever is in the way that month.

What actually changes

Real people, real turns.

The corporate escape

A high-powered corporate leader who wanted a small-holding and to pickle their own food. It sounds like nothing. It was exactly the life they wanted, and now they are living it.

143 to four

A busy tech CTO arrived with 143 things on his list, driving him mad. He broke his own glass ceiling and cut it to four. About to press the button back to a job, he asked for a session. Now he runs three companies, has five kids, and is about to travel Italy with all of them.

The workaholic

He let go of his business but stayed tied to the idea of work, terrified to spend or slow down, classic squirrel energy. After his second session he booked a week of yoga and walked the Camino in Spain. His own words afterwards: I set off to put distance between me and an identity tied to work and financial success, to become a me that is happy and has nothing to prove. I feel free from I have to and I must. I am content. I am enough.

Run it from anywhere

Growing a health studio he did not love. We asked, why grow it, why not sell, why not travel now and run it remotely? Within a year he had taken residency abroad, seen how much home was binding him, and put the business under offer.

Most of the time, people want one of three things: permission, a clear next step, or help letting go of the fear that stops them stepping forward. That is what we are for. Sixty years between us, more than thirty-five countries, businesses run with and without children, bank accounts, visas, residencies, hiring, firing, marketing. We have lived it.

Kerry · Owner, Wild Well Being

Super insightful in ways I have never thought of before. Knowing which of the seven axes I am good at showed me how the wrong combination with those I am not has stopped me achieving what I know I am worth.

Kathleen · Owner, KM Inc

This assessment showed me the gap between where I want to be and where I am. Even the questions helped me see where change is needed, to get into alignment with what I want for my life.

The call was personalised and clear. You reminded us there is always support available through this journey.

My first call, I did not know what to expect and was a little overwhelmed. It was excellent, and I feel so much more confident going forward.
