Wow, what a humbling experience. As I write this blog post I am sitting at Changping railway station reflecting on my time and experience in China. I spent the last four days visiting my manufacturer in the working class city of Changping. It’s a small town, nothing like the hustle and bustle of its cross-town[…]
I think when I look back at my entrepreneurial career in 20 years I will pin-point this interview with a prospective employee as one of the most bizarre moments. We were hiring for a contract marketing role and it was our final interview for the day. It had been an exhausting day. This applicant’s resume[…]
One of my companies (Uncle Jack) is in the fortunate position of being able to add new staff to the team. In the last 12 months I’ve sifted through hundreds and hundreds of resumes & cover letters looking for the perfect candidates. In that time I’ve come across a few tips & trends, do’s &[…]

Lately, I’ve become a big advocate of ebbs and flows. Not just in business but in life. Things will come and go, you will see the good and the bad, the beautiful and ugly and things will be constantly changing. I have always been a resilient person but I believe in the last few years[…]
I’m run down, jet-lagged and weary-eyed. But it was an amazing week in London to launch Uncle Jack into the UK market. It has been around 6 months in the making after teaming up with entrepreneur extraordinaire Grant Walters from the UK. During my 9 days of travel, Grant and I met with a number UK-based[…]
This week I was lucky enough to be asked to be a guest speaker at Swinburne University. The talk encompassed many aspects of my journey thus far including education, sport, entrepreneurship, over-coming adversity and self-doubt. To enquire about guest speaking at your institution click here.
Excuse the Drake reference. But yes, we started at the bottom and yes, we are now slightly further along. I’m talking about Uncle Jack. An idea that sprouted whilst I was sitting in my 2 metre square home office. After putting together my founding team (myself, Brandon Ellis & Lachy Doran) we achieved some decent success[…]
