How Alan D. Thompson Changed My Life and Business Forever

💥 This is what happens when Alan D. Thompson and I get together…

A year ago, Alan changed my life.

My business was going well—I had great clients and plenty of opportunities—but I knew I had more to say. I just didn’t know what was missing.

Then Alan and I shared a stage at Real Estate Institute of Australia

I thought I was on top of AI… until I saw his keynote. 🔥

It was confronting at first—and then something clicked. That was it.
I wasn’t playing big enough.

I wasn’t pushing hard enough to help my clients truly transform their thinking and businesses.

That moment sparked what has become a complete retooling of my IP—
✅ Future-Proof 2035: Thriving in the Age of AI and the Polycrisis
✅ Everyday AI: From Fear to Confidence
…and the journey I’m now on.

I didn’t get the chance to speak with Alan that day (I had to race upstairs to deliver a virtual keynote to Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand), but funny story—I ended up subscribing to his excellent newsletter, “The Memo”… twice. 😅

That happy accident kicked off a year-long friendship (so far) and last Friday, we finally met in person and shared a Teppanyaki dinner. 🥢

We had an incredibly deep and wide-ranging conversation—one of those rare, expansive chats that leaves you buzzing with ideas.

We’re tossing around the idea of collaborating more closely (watch this space 👀), but in the meantime, do yourself a favour:

Sign up for The Memo.

Yes, it costs money. And yes, it’s worth every cent.

And thanks to Alan for capturing this fantastic Hibachi flame at dinner – and to the wonderful concierge at the InterContinental Hotels & Resorts in Adelaide.
