After many years being a mentor, sounding board and business advisor to countless businesses and individuals I launched Rare Breed to make my knowledge available to those businesses that need it. I still mentor businesses across the world via Skype but what I’m most excited about is our retreats in Italy that offer business owners to escape the daily battles and focus their attention on the future of their business.Over the years, the one thing that has been constant in my career has been a passion for helping ambitious individuals reach their business potential, and it is now my pleasure to make this mentoring program available through www.RareBreedRetreats.com.Our upcoming retreat – named Retreat to Advance – is an all-inclusive retreat held in a beautiful villa in Tuscany where entrepreneurs and small-business owners can get out of the daily grind and find the time to work on their business or start-up idea. Surrounded by like-minded business people and supported by expert business advisors, participants can explore new ideas, determine priorities, strategise and cement plans for their business.

Edge is a leading content agency that I led as CEO for seven years. I remain a consultant to the business and mentor several executives. The agency creates strategic and custom content for brands across any channel or platform, including print, video, digital, gaming and broadcast. Edge has a strong heritage in quality editorial products and advertising sales, having started in 2003 as a custom magazine publisher. Clients include Westpac, AAMI and Optus.

I joined Edge (formerly Edge Custom Media) as CEO in 2007. Edge began as a custom publishing company and grew to become one of the leading custom publishers in Australia before we embarked on the journey to the content marketing agency it is today. The rapidly changing media landscape made me realise that although print would always play a significant role in the media industry, Edge needed to diversify its operations. We transformed the business and embraced digital media long before many of our peers. While Edge still produces several print magazines, most of its new projects are multi-platform or digital-only. Today Edge is a leading content marketing agency that creates and executes strategic custom content for brands such as AAMI, Optus and Westpac across all channels, including print, digital, video, apps, games and broadcast. In 2014 I sold my interest in Edge and stepped down as CEO. I remain a consultant to the business and mentor several executives.

I moved to Australia to help establish Text Media's Sydney office, a joint venture between Robert Maxwell and Eric Beecher.

Starting with Newborn Publications as an office junior, I worked my way up to be CEO and sold the company to Robert Maxwell in 1988.I've recently written an article series detailing my adventures during this time and the lessons I learned thanks to my mentor, which have stood me in good stead ever since: http://rarebreedconsulting.com/why-everyone-needs-mentoring.
